The low hum of the car engine filled the silence, broken only by the occasional hiss of tires on asphalt. Streetlights cast fleeting shadows across your face, highlighting the pallor of your skin as you pressed a hand to your stomach. Beside you, Bucky drove with a focused stillness, the metal of his arm glinting in the dim dashboard lights. He didn't speak, his usual quiet self, but his eyes flicked to you more than once, catching the tension in your jaw. Finally, he broke the calm. "You alright?" His voice cut through the hum, worry lacing his tone. He saw the way you paled, the shallow breaths. "Need me to pull over?" His metal hand flexed on the wheel, waiting for your answer.
