Your eyes open slowly and you look around the room, your eyes falling on Bucky's sleeping figure next to you. A sleepy smile appears on your lips as you watch his chest rise and fall. Bucky hadn't had nightmares in two weeks and finally looked like he was getting better. It made you happy to see him so happy.

You turn over, your back to Bucky, and pull the covers up around your head. It was the middle of winter and you were cold. Very, very cold. Normally you would cuddle up to Bucky because he's like a hot water bottle but today you wanted to let him sleep so you'd just have to put up with it until he wakes up.

Minutes passed and you were starting to shake from how fucking cold it was. You swore that you had the coldest room in the entire base. Looking over your shoulder to Bucky, you saw him still asleep, his chest rising and falling with his breathing.

A smile crept its way onto your face as you watched Bucky. God he was beautiful. You turned back around and tried to make yourself warmer by rubbing your hands up and down your arms but it didn't help at all. You'd just have to freeze until your heater of a boyfriend woke up.

An hour or so passed and you couldn't feel your toes or fingers anymore. You were about to get up and go out to the common room because it'd be warm there but you felt Bucky move beside you. You turned around to face him and he turned around seconds later, his eyes slowly opening, displaying his beautiful blue eyes that you constantly got lost in.

"Mornin' doll" Bucky smiled, sleep thick in his voice. "Morning" you smiled and leaned forward, pressing a quick kiss to Bucky's lips. "You sound like you've been up for ages" Bucky said, his eyes half closed. "Yeah, I've been up for at least an hour" you said and Bucky frowned. "Oh darling you must be freezing" Bucky said and grabbed you, pulling you into his warm body. You sighed at the warmth and wrapped your arms around his body.

"Why didn't you wake me doll? You're like an ice block" Bucky asked, concern laced in his voice. "You looked so peaceful and calm. I didn't want to wake you, especially now that the nightmares are getting less frequent. I thought it'd be best to let you sleep in and I'd just put up with the cold" you shrugged against his chest. "Thank you for thinking of me but I don't want my girl turning into an icicle" Bucky said, holding you closer. You smiled at his words and nodded.

Some time passed and now you had feeling back in your toes and fingers. You pulled away from Bucky slightly and looked up at him. His hand stopped moving in your hair as he looked at you, his eyes shining brightly. "Should we get up?" You asked and Bucky shrugged. "Do you want to?" He asked and you shook your head. You were very comfortable where you were and had no desire of moving.

You and Bucky wasted an hour talking about random shit but were interrupted by tony swinging your door open. "Get up! It's almost three in the fucking afternoon!" He yelled before walking off. You both rolled your eyes as you untangled yourself from Buckys arms and got off the bed, stretching and yawning as you stood.

Bucky grabbed your hand and you walked out to the main kitchen together. As soon as you walked into the room, a range of 'there they are's were heard from almost everyone. You smiled and rolled your eyes, leading Bucky into the kitchen so you could get cereal even if it was 2:43.

As you poured the milk into your bowl of cereal, Sam walked in, smirking at you and Bucky as he sat down. "Well look who decided to show up. You both look like a fucking mess" he said as you glared at him and threw the spoon you were holding at his head. It hit him square in the forehead and you were quite proud of yourself. Bucky smiled and high fived you.

After you and Bucky finished eating your cereal, Bucky lead you into the movie room and picked out a movie to watch. He put the disc into the player and sat back down next to you, waiting for the movie to start. The intro to tangled started and you smiled. This was your favourite Disney movie. You looked at Bucky and kissed his cheek as he smiled and wrapped his arm around your waist.

A third of the way into the movie, you became extremely cold again and shivered against Bucky's side. "You cold doll?" Bucky asked, shifting his gaze from the tv to look at you. "No. I'm ok" you said and smiled reassuringly at him. Yes, you were very cold but you didn't want Bucky to feel like he had to keep you warm so you tried to ignore the cold.

It worked until the coldness was seeping into your bones and making them ache. You could still try and ignore it but your teeth betrayed you and started chattering. In an attempt to stop it, you bit down on your tongue but it didn't help. Bucky noticed and rolled his eyes at you before picking you up and putting you in his lap.

You sighed of relief and turned so your side was against Bucky's front. You rested your head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around you and kissed your forehead. Bucky grabbed the blanket from the chair next to you and put it over both of you, tucking it under your chin and making sure it covered your back.

You cuddled into him more and sighed. "How are you so warm?" You asked, looking up at Bucky slightly. "I don't know. I've always been warm, I guess. During winter in Brooklyn when it was just me n' Steve, we cuddled so steve wouldn't have an asthma attack over how cold it was" Bucky shrugged and you laughed. "Awwwww I could so see you two still cuddling" you teased as Bucky rolled his eyes playfully, a smile on his face.

After a while, you started to get tired and closed your eyes, leaning further into Bucky for more warmth. Bucky looked down at your half asleep figure and brushed some hair out of your face. "Time for bed?" Bucky asked, putting his forehead on yours. "Wh-what? I'm not tired" you said almost inaudibly.

Bucky stopped the movie and turned off the tv before picking up your very asleep self and walking to your shared room. He carefully placed you in the bed and tucked you in before walking around to the other side and climbing in, gently pulling you closer to him so you wouldn't freeze.

"Goodnight, icicle" Bucky kissed your lips softly before laying his head on his pillow, closing his eyes and falling asleep shortly after.
