Immortal (Bucky B., Steve R., Logan H.) Book 1

8.

Present day.

Freya was silently stitching up a soldier's shoulder, ignoring their groans of pain. Freya was increasingly getting annoyed with the new division. Not even a day in and the soldiers already broke into a brawl. She doesn't understand why she even bothered, could've probably passed this idiot onto a nurse.

But unfortunately, this soldier seemed to have gotten more than just a cut. He had a dislocated shoulder, and the nurses didn't have the strength so she had the honor of popping it back in which she took joy in doing it.

He also has a very beaten-up face, which lucky for him, wasn't broken. And he had shards of glass embedded into his arms.

The soldier flinches when Freya tightens the stitches. "Come back in five days and one of the nurses will take out your stitches." Freya says

"Why not you sexy." The soldier leers

The flap of the tent opens suddenly. Freya doesn't turn, used to this happening with the nurses. "Hey! Do you want a reminder of why you even need stitches?" A man snarls

The soldier flinches, making Freya's eyebrows go up.

Freya turns to see the assailant and she's pleasantly shocked to see it's Bucky.

Bucky's eyes widen when he spots Freya. Freya notices his bruised fist and she turns to the man she just stitched up.

"I suggest you leave." Freya says

The soldier nods frantically and he leaves the tent, glaring at Bucky on his way out.

Freya motions for Bucky to sit down. Bucky continues to stare as he sits down.

"I'm guessing you didn't expect to see me here?" Freya asks, reaching forward and grabbing his hand, inspecting for any broken fingers.

Bucky nods, watching her work with heavy eyes. "Yeah....sorry about him, I had to teach him a lesson, he was very disrespectful to the nurses. He groped one of them." Bucky says

Freya's lips turn up just a little, making Bucky gasp a little. "You just smiled, I've never seen you smile before." Bucky says, pleasantly pleased with himself.

Bucky has a large smile on his face. Freya gives him a look. "That wasn't a smile. And maybe the reason you have never seen me smile is because you barely know me." Freya points out, flexing another one of his fingers, ignoring his small grimaces.

"Ohh so there's a chance of a real smile, challenge accepted." Bucky says

Freya rolls her eyes as she begins cleaning his bloody knuckles. "Who's the nurse he groped?" Freya ask

"Her name was Patty." Bucky says

"Oh her, I'll have to thank you then, she's my favorite nurse, steady hands." Freya says

"Yeah it seemed like nothing fazes her, and I'm betting if I hadn't gotten to him then she would've." Bucky says

Freya chuckles, dryly. "Yeah, that sounds like her." Freya says

Bucky watches as she patches him up. She was even more beautiful up close.

Bucky felt dirty, here he was, admiring his pal's girl. But Steve didn't own Freya so he could make his move. But will that make him a bad friend? Bucky shakes his head. He'll just get to know her.

"So did you always want to be a doctor." Bucky asks "No, not a Doctor, I wanted to be a nurse, less responsibility and hate. But there aren't many doctors in the field." Freya says
