The First Night

You keep tossing and turning you can't rest your body and your mind won't let you. You feel fear heart-wrenching mind-numbing fear, it doesn't belong to you someone else is in turmoil and you won't be capable of resting until you help them. You throw off your covers and roll out of your bed in your shorts and oversized t-shirt you had put on instead of the numerous sets of PJs waiting for you in the closet these clothes were yours and they were familiar you thought they would help you feel more grounded on your first night.

You walk towards the door and step out into the now dark hallway, you pause to feel where the fear is radiating from you then hear a loud bang like a wild animal thrashing around it's coming from the room at the end of the corridor 2 doors to your right. You tiptoe to the doorway before placing your hand on the door handle you stop as you feel a surge the fear is growing this person is in a dream or a nightmare should I say. You swiftly open the door and turn on the lights before shouting "excuse me!" The person lying on the floor leaps up "what the hell!" He exclaims posed ready for a fight "sorry to wake you so abruptly" I apologise "but you were having a nightmare can I hug you" I said and before he had time to answer I wrapped my arms around him he was frozen to the spot unsure of what to do then it passed Y/N felt his confusion and fear pass he felt at some kind of peace. You release your grip on the big bellowing man standing before you and step back "he's a God" you think to yourself looking at the tall dark-haired beautiful specimen "sorry" you stretch out your hand "I'm Y/N and you are?" "Bucky" he states with a look of wonder on his face "what the hell did you just do" "I'm new in the room 2 doors down your fear was keeping me awake so I thought I'd come and help you out" you vocalise with a joyful smile. "But how" he stutters "I took your fear away not all of it you have a lot of emotional issues you should see a therapist maybe, but you should sleep better at least for tonight I would also maybe recommend the bed rather than the floor better for your back" you state as you head out through the door in the direction of your room with a skip in your step.

Bucky POV

It's so real it's like I'm still under their control the screams so many screams so much blood...I'm awoken by the voice of a stranger and my lights turning on I leap to my feet ready to fight when I see a woman standing in my doorway she's beautiful hair as black as ink eyes a piercing green she stands there in shorts and a t-shirt that seems too large for her. She's speaking I'm unsure of what she has said she's hugging me... This feels nice she feels warm the hug is homely I'm disappointed when it stops but confused that it even happened... She's speaking again her name is Y/N she wants to know mine I blurt out "bucky" followed by a "what the hell did you just do" She's helping me she states she doesn't even know me and she wants to help me. She skips out my door and she is gone as swiftly as she arrived. That was strange but I feel great I climb into my bed which I haven't done since I arrived 6 months ago and I fall into a deep peaceful slumber.
