~~~~~~

You wake up due to the light hitting your face.

You groan and roll over expecting to see your husband, Bucky, but his spot is cold.

"Bucky?" You call out, "James?"

Still no answer.

You swing yourself out of the comfort of your own bed and trudge down the hallway.

Your eyebrows furrow as your mind wonders about where Bucky could be. You walk into the kitchen where the Avengers were having breakfast.

"Mornin' Y/N!" Everyone greeted and you smiled as you skimmed the crowd for Bucky.

"Has seen Bucky?" You ask, and they shrugged, "Last time I saw him he was heading off to bed with you, " Natasha answered and you shook your head, "Well, he's not there and his spot is cold, so he must've left a while ago, "

"We'll find him, Y/N, " Steve assured, "Couldn't have gone far, "

"You're a spy, I'm sure you can piece together where your missing hubby went, " Clint mumbled with a mouthful of toast in his mouth.

Steve chugged the last bit of his coffee and placed the mug in the sink, "Let's go find him, " he said as he followed you into the depths of the Avengers Headquarters.

"Okay, you check in all the bedrooms and I'll get in the gyms and garages," You say and Steve nods as he pokes his head in Tony's room.

You run in Tony's garage and check all around. Under the cars, in the room where we fix the cars, in Tony's lab for his suits.

You huff as you run into the training room.

You frown as you see Bucky past out against the wall with tape around his hand. You poke your head out if the gym and yell out to Steve.

"ROGERS! I FOUND HIM!"

You jog back to Bucky and try to shake him awake. His bare chest is glistening with sweat. Two pieces of hair cover his face, while the rest of his locks are tied into a man-bun.

You trace over the scars around his shoulder and then shake your head as you wake him up.

"Babe. Bucky. James, " You shake him a little harder and he springs his eyes and tackles you.

"IT'S ME! IT'S ME!" You shout and Bucky's steel-blue eyes widen as he steps back.

"I'm so sorry, Y/N, " he whispers as he pulls you into a hug. You wrap your arms around his waist. "It's okay, babe, " You says as you wipe away some of the sweat, "What were you doing up so early?" You ask and he hesitates to answer.

"I just wanted to get some early training in, " he says, it's one of your superpowers, being able to tell any lie.

He avoided eye contact with me and rubbed the back of his neck. You decide to play it off and just smile.

"Well let's get you cleaned up, " You saw and help him to his feet.

You turned on your shower turning the knob till it was warmer than lukewarm. You hand Bucky a towel and some clothes. "You can join me if you want, " Bucky flirts and you smile, "Maybe I just might," You say and pull him into the shower. 

What you expected was for Bucky to immediately start kissing you and holding you and grinding up on you. But he did the complete opposite and he just held you in his grasp under the warm water with his head in the crook of your neck. You gently thread your fingers through his long brown locks. "I love you so much, Y/N," he whispers in your ear and you smile, "I love you too, Buck, " you say and pull away to place a small kiss on his lips.

You feel him sigh into the kiss and he pulls away. You smile up at him and break the silence by saying, "You smell bad, "

Later that night

You watched the movie credits scroll down the screen, "I'm off to bed, " You say and Bucky follows in pursuit. You all say goodnight to each other and head off to bed. 

"Goodnight, my love, " You yawn and plop down on the bed, under the covers. Bucky grips your waist and pulls you in closer. You feel his warm breath on the back of your neck and you snuggle deeper into his chest as you wrapped your arms around his waist.

"I love you, " he mumbled, "I love you too," You say and fall into a deep sleep.

~~~~~~

When you woke up that morning, Bucky was once again gone and passed out in some random spot. 

This kept on happening for the next week and you finally wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"James, why are you passed out in random locations of the building when I wake up?" You ask very bluntly, and he begins to stutter, "I have trouble sleeping, I'm not used to getting a lot of hours of sleep, so my body just stays awake longer than it should,"

Once again your superpower kicked in and you were able to see right through him. "You're lying, tell me the truth, or I'm gonna assume you're cheating on me, " You say and he rolls his eyes. "Okay, first of all, I would never do that, and second of all it's just a little complicated,"

You squint your eyes and he grabs your hand, "I'll talk about it later. I just don't want to talk about it now," he says and you nod your head. He smiles gratefully and leans in to give you a peck, you return the kiss and begin to make a plan in your mind.

~~~~~~

You and Bucky are getting tucked in for the night and you snuggle up like how you normally do. Your head is on his head and his face is in the crook of your neck with your limbs entangled with his.

You murmur your goodnights and act like you're falling asleep. You chugged at least three cups of black coffee and had some energy shots before doing this, so you were far from tired.

You let minutes turn into hours as you waited for Bucky to do something; you felt small little jolts every so often. Around one o'clock in the morning, you felt him rustle around and mutter things about hating 'this'.

He carefully let you go so he could sit up. You went along with it. "I need Bruce to come back with those damn sleeping pills," he muttered, Bruce was gone on a little trip to Wakanda to help Shuri with some new scientist and lab workers and he wouldn't be back till next week.

But sleeping pills? Why does James need sleeping pills?

"What sleeping pills?" you ask and sit up. His head snapped around,  "I thought you were asleep, " he whispers and you sit up.

"What pills, James?" You ask and place your hand in his reassuringly.

"I have slight insomnia and nightmares, " he says grasping tightly onto your hand.

"I went to Bruce about it and he prescribed me the pills. And I ran out about a week ago. That's why you find me pasted put in random places because I walk around to try and occupy myself," Bucky explained and grips your hand tighter.

"Why didn't you tell me?" You ask, "You looked so peaceful sleeping, " he says with a blush.

You smile, "Come here, " You mutter and lay down, bringing Bucky down with you. He lays his head on your torso and you thread your fingers through his brown hair.

You kissed his forehead and hummed a random tune.

And before you knew it, Bucky was fast asleep.
