"FRIDAY, LOCK THE bedroom door please." alexa mumbled, friday announcing the door was locked. alexa's been in bed for the last 72 hours, only getting up to shower, use the toilet, and eat, yet she was already slowly giving up on all of that.
bucky noticed that she was sleeping way more then usual, not wanting to get up from bed, and barley eating. he knew she was spiraling downward, and knew she needed help. that's why he was currently standing outside her bedroom door.
he knocked softly before trying to open the door, him realizing it was locked.
"lexa, sweetheart, are you okay?" he asked, leaning closer towards the door to try and hear her response.
"m'tired buck." he sighed, knowing it was getting worse by the second if she didn't tell bruce, or tony.
"can i come in baby?" he hears a mumble, and friday opens the door. he walked in, closing it behind him. alexa was under 4 blankets, curled up in a ball on her side. her eyes were half closed. it was almost three in the afternoon.
bucky bent down at the side of her bed, face level with her's. he brushed the stray hairs out of her face, giving her a sympathetic look.
"are you sure you're okay? do you wanna head down to lab and talk to bruce or tony?" she shook her head, bucky's one hand cupping her cheek, thumb caressing her cheekbone.
"m'okay buck. just tired s'all." bucky wasn't buying it. not one bit.
"did you eat breakfast?" he asked softly, seeing her nod yes.
"a cereal bar." he shook his head softly, leaning forward to kiss her head. she hasn't eaten a full meal since yesterday's breakfast, when natasha forced her to eat something.
"did you shower?" she shook her head no, bucky sighing.
"you have to doll. do you want me to help you?" he asked, watching her nod yes.
"i trust you." bucky smiled softly, peeling away the blankets. he sat alexa up, her groaning as she sat up. bucky jogged to his room, grabbing a long sleeved and his sweatpants for her, knowing his scent calmed her down. he also changed into his bathing suit bottoms. he then ran to the dryer on their floor, putting the clothes in there.
he walked back into her room, glad she was still sitting up. he grabbed her towel and robe, placing it all in the bathroom. she weakly reached for her underwear, bucky walking her into the bathroom.
