Warnings: tickles, insecure Bucky, comforting reader.
Authors note: I thought of this a while ago and this has been sitting in my drafts for AGES now and it just came back too me so here we are!
You feel the slight breeze that washes over you as you close the door behind you. You had a few jobs to do and it only took thirty minutes. Bucky hadn’t quite been himself today, for starters when you woke up at 7:00AM Bucky essential even awake yet, which is surprising because usually he’s up and ready by the time you’re awake as he gets up at 6:00AM out of habit and for training with Steve. He also was wearing his glove, in the house.
You walked into the bedroom, kicked off your shoes and hopped in the shower. After, you walked into one of the quieter places of the compound. The library. You walked in and head a few small short sniffles from a corner of the small but cozy space. You went over and seen Bucky, curled up on a beanbag chair crying into his hands.
As soon as he saw you he tried to calm down and you had to reassure him that it was okay too cry. “Oh Buck…” you cooded “It’s okay too cry, what’s got you upset hm?” He didn’t respond for a few seconds before beginning. “I’m just.” “I-I just” he even struggled to say it without crying. What has happened? Nothing usually makes him this upset. “I-I went to the store today just too get some eggs and bacon for breakfast.” You nodded and hummed in agreement.
“And I f-forgot my glove this one time a-and this girl took one look at me and immediately ran a-away.” Bucky says before sobbing quietly into your shoulder. “That girl has no clue what she’s missing, in fact I kinda love your arm. “W-what?, You do? “.
“Yeah! I mean lots of people find things, really heavy but you have your special arm so you don’t!” Bucky hummed. “And you can also take it off. Which I kinda wish I could do sometimes. Arms get Heavy!” Bucky chuckled at your enthusiasm”. “Wait Y/N!” Bucky exclaims. “I have something else it can do.” He says. “Really?, what’s that?” You ask. “This!”
Without warning he dug his hands into your sides. “Ah boho hi BUCHUCY. “What’s up doll? , I’m just showing some other great things it can do” he says. You kick your legs and just as it’s about to make contact with Buckys chest he catches it. “Ooo bad idea doll baaad idea”
Bucky begins to scribble his fingers all over your socked sole getting all the most ticklish places. “BUCHCHKHY STOHOHP!” To your surprise he actually did stop.
After you had calmed down you were both cuddled up in bed. “Thank you” Bucky says quietly. “For what sweetheart?” You ask. “Helping me feel better” he says almost ashamed. “Aww Bucky of course! I mean I wasn’t lying your arm is pretty cool.” You reply. “Love you baby” he says in a hushed sleepy tone. “I love you most”
