Sorry if it's rubbish, I didn't edit this one because i was exhausted.

[Third Person POV]

"Hey punk."

"Jerk."

Davina rolled her eyes at the two mens interactions as Bucky walked into the office. A month had passed since James Barnes' been brought into the compound, two weeks since he moved into a room, one week since he started helping with their research.

Davina felt light breathing on her neck as Bucky leant down to kiss her cheek gently.

"Hi." She smiled, turning her head from the screen and placing a light peck on his lips.

"Good lord its 1940 all over again-" 

Steve's words were cut off from Bucky's right hand whacking him over the head.

"Oh now i'm interested, what happened in 1940 Steve? Do tell, was Bucky as much of an asshole then as he is now?" Davina swerved her chair away from Bucky to face Steve's amused expression.

"Please Davina, he was born an asshole." Steve batted away Bucky's hand as it went in for another whack. "And to your first question, not much, I was just a constant third wheel, turns out being 5"3 isn't exactly a turn on for females." Steve talked mindlessly as he typed away on his keyboard.

Davina laughed and turned her chair back to face the screen. Bucky had sat himself down in his usual chair next to his doll. His eyes grazed over the screen Davina was glaring at.

"Your doing that thing again Davina." Steve started.

"What thing?" She snapped.

"That thing where you think if you glare at the screen for long enough all the answers will magically appear." Bucky finished.

The girl sighed and leant back on her chair, as much as she hated to admit it, the work they were doing seemed pointless, the trio weren't receiving any answers.

She saw Steve glance at his phone before standing up walking to the doorway, he paused for a moment before leaving. "I have to go upstairs for something, I'll be back later."

Bucky frowned at his best friend, his eyebrow lifting in confusion to the blonds sudden abruptness. 

His gaze moved from the now empty doorway to Davina, who looked absolutely broken. Before he could say anything she pushed the chair away from the desk and stood up on exhausted legs. "I'm going to make some food."

"I'll help." Bucky answered immediately standing up and following after her.

The pair walked down the hallway in silence, she was so exhausted, all the girl wanted was sleep.

At the end of the hallway the elevator opened and Bucky informed JARVIS of their designated floor.

He slowly stepped over to Davina and gently pulled her into his arms as the elevator went up. She let out a sigh of relief and let herself crumble into his grasp. Bucky's arms tightened around her shoulders and he slowly brought one hand up to tangle itself in her hair.

She breathed in his scent before mumbling out some words. "Thank you." 

He pulled away slightly and used a finger to tilt her head up to face him. "For what?" He chuckled in confusion.

"I don't know." She laughed and pulled away reluctantly from his arms as the elevator doors opened.

Davina's brows furrowed together at the sight of the compounds shared kitchen and living room area. It was completely empty.

"That's weird.. Usually Wanda or Clint's here, I would have expected Sam to be here too." She thought aloud.

"Maybe they all got called to wherever Steve went." Bucky answered dully. "Yeah maybe." She pondered, making her way over the kitchen.

Bucky stopped her from walking over to the fridge by pulling on her hand. She turned around with a weak smile as their fingers wove together.

"What?" She asked.

"Just go to sleep Vina." He announced.

She raised an eyebrow and fought back a yawn.

"No i'm fine, I told Steve I was getting food and then coming back." She tried to pull away but his grip was firm.

"Steve's gone God knows where Vina.. Just go to sleep, you look exhausted."

She opened her mouth to protest but before she could say anything Bucky lifted her off the ground bridal style.

"What are you doing put me down!" She laughed as he started walking towards the living quarters.

"Nope, sorry my watch says it's time for you to sleep." He smiled and continued walking.

"Bucky you asshole put me down!" She squealed as he entered her room.

"Okay." He replied and dropped her onto the bed.

"Fuck you Bucky Barnes." She giggled.

He pulled back the covers and tucked her in, a memory flashed in his mind. He remembered his mother tucking him in for bed when he was little. He remembered her kissing his head and switching off the lights.

Bucky smiled softly at the memory.

He looked down at Davina, who was fighting to keep her eyes open.

"Oh my God Davina just go to sleep you crazy woman." He rolled his eyes and leant down to plant a kiss on her cheek.

"Can you stay?" 

Her cheeks grew warm as the words tumbled out of her mouth.

He couldn't help but smile as she shuffled over, allowing him to lay down next to her.

"Sure." He whispered, his breath tickling the top of her head as he gently pulled her closer to him. She rested her head on his chest and listened closely to his heart patting softly in his chest.

His arms wrapped around her frame and he gently stroked pieces of her hair with his metal hand. 

"Sleep Davina." He whispered, placing a kiss on top of her head.

The girl shuffled slightly before her breathing relaxed and she fell asleep. The warmth of her breath on his chest calmed him into falling asleep soon after her.

The pair lay silently asleep, bodies tangled together.

They were unaware that after today, things would never be the same.
