Bucky Barnes imagines

Bucky||sick days

////

If you asked Bucky when was the last time he was sick, he wouldn't be able to tell you since he didn't actually remember. He didn't even remember what it felt like to be sick. Bucky probably hadn't been sick since the 40s and claimed he couldn't get sick because of all the testing HYDRA did on him. However, Bucky managed to catch a cold from Sam of all people and wouldn't shut up about how he "never got sick"

Bucky groaned loudly as he put his head in your lap, catching your attention. You moved the book you were reading away from your face and looked down at your boyfriend who was lying down on your lap, his arms covering his face.

You smiled and ran your fingers through his hair, knowing it relaxed him considerably. Buckys arms slowly moved off his face and onto his chest so he could look at you. You moved your hand from his messy hair to feel his temperature. "Holy shit, you're burning up" you frowned, worry in your voice as you moved your hand from his forehead to his cheek. Bucky closed his eyes and leaned into your hand, enjoying how cold your hand was.

"Your hands feel nice" Bucky mumbled, grabbing your other hand and putting it on the other side of his face and sighed in satisfaction. "Yes, that's because my hands are cold and you have a high fever" you replied, looking down at Bucky as he just shrugged a little.

"Come on. Let's get you into the shower" you said, earning a groan from Bucky as he shook his head. He turned onto his stomach and wrapped his arms around your legs, stopping you from going anywhere. "Bucky. You need to have a shower to cool down before you over heat more" you sighed, looking at Bucky hugging your legs. He shook his head again and didn't move. "James" you said sternly, knowing Bucky always knew to listen when you used his first name. "Fine" he mumbled quietly and let go of your legs, pushing himself up so he was sitting on the bed.

"Come on" you said, getting off the bed and holding your hand out for Bucky to take. He took it and got off the bed, following you into the bathroom.

Once you were both in the bathroom, you ran the shower, getting it to the right temperature. You turned back around, satisfied with the temperature only to come face to face with Bucky standing directly behind you.

You jumped a little and glared up at Bucky. "How many times do I have to tell you not to stand behind me?" You asked, crossing your arms over your chest. "I'm sorry" Bucky said quietly and pulled you closer, wrapping his arms around you and putting his head on top of yours. You sighed and put your arms around him, your head on his shoulder.

"Ok no more cuddles," you said, pulling away from Bucky as he whined. "The shower is already running. Get undressed and get in. Call out if you need me" you said, walking out of the door but Bucky grabbed your hand, stopping you from going anywhere and pulled you back towards him.

"Can you get in with me?" Bucky asked, looking at you with pleading eyes. "No. Your sick" You replied.

"But what if the water isn't right?" "You know how to change it"

"What if I fall over?" "your not going to fall over"

"What if I just want you to come in with me?" "I'm not going in with you"

"Please" "no"

"Please" "no"

"Come on doll, please" He asked again, not giving up yet. You sighed and looked up at him. "Fine," You grumbled, closing the door behind you. "But nothing more then showering ok?" "I know. Thank you doll" Bucky smiled and kissed your head.

You both got undressed and into the shower, Bucky kept his eyes where they should be and so did you.

Bucky needed the shower more then you did so you let him stand under the water as you leaned against the wall of the shower with your eyes closed, just thinking about things. "What're you thinking about?" You heard Bucky ask. You opened your eyes and looked over to see him smiling a little. "Nothing really. What're you smiling at?" You asked Bucky, watching his smile get bigger. "You" He replied, a huge smile on his face. You smiled but felt the heat in your cheeks rising so you looked away a little.

"Are you gonna just stand there or do you actually want some water?" Bucky asked, looking at you. "You need the water more then I do so I'll just stand here" you replied and shrugged. "Come here" Bucky said softly and held his hand out for you.

You smiled and took his hand as he gently pulled you over to him and under the water. He wrapped his arms around your torso and you put your arms around his neck, your head on his shoulder.

You stayed like this for a while and just let the water run over both of you. You liked moments like this. No one had to talk, you just enjoyed the others company.

After a few more minutes you felt Buckys arms around you loosen a little. You took your head off his shoulder and looked up to see him half asleep. You smiled and took your arms off his shoulders, reaching behind him and turned off the water.

You moved a wet piece of hair out of Buckys face and he opened his eyes and looked down at you, smiling when he saw you. "That was nice" Bucky said quietly. You let out and light laugh and put your hand on his cheek. Bucky leaned into your hand and closed his eyes again. "Don't go to sleep yet. Get out of the shower, get changed and then you can sleep" you said and Bucky nodded in response, opening his eyes when you took your hand off his cheek.

You both got out of the shower and changed into new pyjamas. You walked back into your room, closely followed by a very tired Bucky who quickly climbed into the bed and lied down, pulling the covers over him.

You laughed as you watched him and walked over to the bed and kissed his head. You turned to go to turn off the light but Bucky grabbed your arm and looked up at you, his eyes hardly able to stay open. "Stay?" He asked. "I am, don't worry. I'm just going to turn off the light" you said softly. Bucky nodded and let go of your arm, turning back over and closing his eyes.

As you walked away you heard a quiet "thank you doll" from Bucky, making you smile as you turned off the light.

You walked back to the bed and climbed in next to Bucky. You lied down and closed your eyes too as his arms wrapped around you, pulling you closer to him so your head was on his chest. Your turned onto your side and put your leg across his waist, getting comfortable

"Goodnight doll" Bucky said and kissed your head before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep. "Goodnight Buck" you replied before falling asleep yourself.
