Ignorant little boy
Yoy knew Bucky was raised in the 1940s a time when women had to hide their periods and pretend like nothing was happening. You didnt want to freak him out by just blurring out the subject of menstrual cicle so you kept it under the radar for the first few months of your relationship. Yoy were an Avenger too so you lived with the rest in the Avengers Compound luckily everyone had their own quarters so keeping it a secret wasnt difficult. But what was hard was lying to your boyfriend about it.
As a trained assasin he could easily see when you were lying so when cramps hit you hard you just tell him that you are having a sleepover at nats to be safe. At first he was okay with that not paying any attention but as the months got by he realised a pattern to your sleepovers at nats and he was wondering what that was about. 5 months in the relationship you were once again in nats room curled in a blanket eating chocolate and groaning as the pain continued.
-you have to tell him eventually, you cant keep this for ever yn
Nat said putting you a glass of wine sitting next to you
-i know Nat... I just dont want to freak him out you know. He has been through so much and he is still adapting to this new life. Throughing this to him is gonna be too much.
-yn is just period. I am sure he can handle it just fine youre just overthinking again. I m suprised he hasnt asked you about your visits here every month.
-I dont know Nat.. just let this month pass and ill see okay ?
-ok yn as you wish but you do havr to tell him or i will
she said smirking as she watched your suprised face.
-you wont! Come on Nat i will tell him just stop nagging about it.
you said as you covered you haid with the fluffy blanket.
The next day was suprissingly well. No cramps no pains and a low flow so you thought this was a perfect time to go to Bucky. You had missed him so much even if it was inly for a day. Your period it made you clingy and you wanted him around all the time. So you went into hiw room only to find him half asleep on his bed. Not wanting to wake him you tip toe to his bed and crawl under the blankets next to him. The momment he felt your pressence he woke putting his arm in your middle pulling you closer to him giving you a lazy soft kiss on the lips.
-I thought you were with Nat?
-we finished early and i wanted to see you.
you said burring your head in the crook of his neck snuggling even further.
-i missed you so muck Bucky
you say in a muffled voicce making Bucky laugh holding you tighter against him.
-i missed you too doll so much
he said kissing your temple humming a song lulling you both to sleep.
Time passed and after a 2 hours nap you were ready to have some fun but the momment you opened your eyes you realised that you had leaked. FUCK !!! what were you gonna do you didnt want Bucky to see this. This was a disaster so you decided to act quickly. You slid under the covers and from Buckys arms but the momment you were getting up you felt a hand grasping yours gently.
-where are you going doll?
he asked in a groogy voice sleep still evident in his eyes.
-im just going to the bathroom baby go back to sleep ill be back soon
you said kissing him softly on the forehead and then on the lips before standing up.
Bucky hummed in aggrement and went to close his eyes but when you stood up he gasped at the sight before him sending him into a panic mode rapidly gettinf out of bed and start bomb you with questions.
-yn where did you got hurt? what is all that blood? did you got shot?
he didnt think what he was saying he was just in shock of what he was seeing infront of him.
-Bucky baby im alright i promise you. Im fine love im fine.
you tried to tell him but he didint listen he was busy checking you up and down for any sighns of possimble wound.
finally you sat on the bed took his hands that roamed your body and placed them on your face making him look at you in the eyes.
-Bucky my love i am okay. you saw it yourself i have no wounds. You have to calm down my love i am here and i am fine i promise you.
hearing this words Bucky finally relaxed and took a deep breath looking you lovingly and worridly in your eyes.
-what is all that blood then doll? where did it came from?
in that momment he looked like a lost puppy lost in worried and you felt terribly guilty for this. You should have talked to him.
-My love i am going to explain everything up okay? i just want 10 minutes to get clean and ill be back with you i promise.
he was hesitant he didnt know what was happening and he was still very worried but your reassuring smile calmed him.
-Are you sure you re okay doll?
-yes Bucky im fine i promise i will be back in a bit dont worry.
and with that yn was headind to the door going to her room to quickly change.
Bucky sat worriedly in the couch of his room his leg bouncing up and down waiting for you. the momment he heard the door open he turned to see you in an oversized shirt that was his and a cute pair of fluffy socks. he was so relived that you were okay and he immidietly sat up and got to you hugging you tight.
-im okay baby im okay. lets go talk i have some things to tell you.
you said breaking the hug but taking his hand in yours guiding him in the couch.
-i should have said that to you a long time before but i didnt want to burden you.
you said in a low voice looking at your linked hands.
-you can tell me anything yn, you are never a burden for me. what is it doll?
he held your chin up with his fingers lookung at you with the most sincere eyes.
Every month when i go to Nats for sleepovers it is because i have my period and i didnt want you to be overwhelmed about this. i know in your time they didnt speak about it and now you have so much on your plate to figure out that i didnt want to put another in it.
you said quietly and nervously.
Bucky looked at you not with anger or hate but with love and adoration that relaxed a little bit.
- Doll you got through it all alone all those months so just to not overwhelm me?
-yes.. im sorry i should have said it sooner but..
you didnt got to finish your sentence and Bucky just took you in his arms and kiss you. the kiss was so pationate and fierce that you melted in his touch. after the kiss he hold you and said
-you dont have to hide from me doll. yes i have a lot to learn still about this new world but whenit comes to you you come first baby. im here for you for anything you need me to and im happy to learn with you. i want you to feel comfortamble and free with me yn . im here for you love.
he said that with so much love that you felt guilty thinking that he will get mad.
-thank you so much baby. im so soory for keeping this from you.
-its okay doll im happy you finally told me so i can help you through it. So what exactly is a period?
he questioned and you laughed a bit. you loved how eager he was a bout learning for it and how helpfull he wanted to be. you spent 1 hour expalining to him what it was how many days it lasted what were the symptoms and how to help you. After that he never letted you on your own on your period he was there for you through it all. cramps cravings mood swings and all and that made you fall in love with him all over again.
