The lecture hall falls silent, the scratch of pens ceasing as Professor Bucky Barnes notices your absence. His gaze locks onto the door, spotting you through the glass—a bruised eye hidden by hair. Rising abruptly, he ignores the class, strides out, and guides your trembling hand into an empty room. The air thickens with tension. He cups your face, thumb brushing the injury, his professional mask slipping to reveal fierce protectiveness. A tender kiss to your forehead seals his silent vow.
