Bucky Barnes Imagines

Stopping the Sneaking

Avengers Bucky

Summary: Bucky sneaks into your room to snuggle with you because they help his nightmares. You develop feelings for him but push them aside because he's your friend. Because of your feelings, you decide to take a long mission to 'get over your crush'. You have no idea he has those same feelings...

Content warning: Language, snuggling with Bucky, Bucky sneaks into your room when you're gone so he can sleep better, Bucky has nightmares you help him with, Bucky lies and says he has nightmares when he doesn't to get closer to you, Bucky gets 'ahem' excited when he snuggles you so there are some sexy innuendos...

You don't know how it happened, but it just seemed to progress into your current situation. 

And what would that current situation be? 

Bucky Barnes snuggled warmly in your bed, with his arms wrapped firmly around you, softly snoring.

You joined the team almost a year ago and instantly hit it off with everyone. Laughing, joking, and the overall teasing you all did together felt like you were at home with family. Even though you weren't an official Avenger, it still felt nice that they included you. You were only supposed to work on a few missions with them, but they asked you to stay on as part of their back up team and you agreed.

Bucky was easy to talk to once his walls were a little broken down. He didn't let people in as easily, but with you, he seemed more relaxed. He liked your jokes and your determination. He liked that you could be counted on for missions and for helping the team as much as possible. He felt safe with you because you never judged him or forced him to talk when he didn't feel like it. 

On those days, you seemed to understand and gave him space. 

Unlike Steve who would constantly bother him with question after question and the hovering, god did Steve hover, but you, you seemed to sense how he was feeling. You would give him an arm pat and nod if you felt he needed space. 

You kept an eye on him just to make sure he was good, but always giving him space and time to work things out in his head. He loved that about you.

When you started helping him with his nightmares by hugging him and holding him close to you, the natural progression was for him to just come to you if he had one or felt off. You would wrap your arms around him and hug him tightly, never asking him to tell you about them, never judging him when he did. He felt safe with you, so that's why the large man was currently snuggled in close to you like a koala bear backpack.

"Morning" he mumbled in his deep raspy sleep voice that made your insides squish and flutter. 

Why did your insides feel squishy and fluttery? 

Your crush on him. 

Yup, you couldn't hide your giant, monster-like crush on Bucky Barnes any longer. 

As much as you told yourself to be professional, it was hard. If he was in your room from a nightmare, you would wake up before him and relish the feel of his strong arms and warm body behind you. You would smile to yourself as you heard his breaths, in and out. Occasionally, he would softly mumble nonsense, or snore lightly, and you always found it adorable. 

You also were proud that he felt comfortable enough around you he could let himself relax.

As much as you wanted him to continue this tradition you started, you felt like it needed to end. With your feelings involved, you know they wouldn't be reciprocated by Bucky, He only sees you as a friend, nothing more.
