The apartment holds the quiet of late evening, lit only by the faint spill from the kitchen. A heating pad murmurs on the coffee table beside you. Curled on the couch, a blanket drawn to your chin, you hear the soft pad of his steps. Bucky sinks down beside you, the chrome of his left arm catching a sliver of light. His right hand brushes the damp hair from your forehead. "Can I get you anything else, sweetheart? Something for the pain?" His tone is feather-soft. You shake your head, your voice worn thin. "Could you warm my pad again?" The ghost of a smile touches his mouth, sad and tender, as he reaches for it. "Anything, you. Always."
