An unexpected emergency leaves you at the mercy of the two people you’d hope to never see in uniform, while simultaneously being grateful it was the two heroes you trusted the most.

Bad days were commonplace in your routine, and the flare up that morning had been more of an inconvenience and hindrance, than an actual issue. 

Or so you thought.

The heavy, unsettling sensation of pins and needles grew in intensity until you had to grip the counter, having stood in the kitchen to prepare a small lunch. The room, once so sturdy and still, began to rock and sway with a fever pitch that soured your stomach. 

“Fuck,” you gasped, and your hands started to shake on the countertop, your grip slackening off of the bench. The counter was no longer the sturdy assurity as it once was. 

Slowly, you looked around the kitchen for means of getting help, only to curse yourself weakly when you realised you’d left your phone in the living room. Handsfree, you hastily remembered – Bucky had insisted that you had some kind of handsfree accessibility on your phone. 

Your weak, warbelled voice carried through the apartment as you yelled in the hopes your phone would pick it up. There was the dial tone, the voice of a woman asking how you needed assistance, and then there was black. 

“Fuck… Get the stretcher.” A heavy thump sounded by your head. “I’ve got ‘er–go on.”

Muffled footfalls echoed out of your apartment, then there was a black blur of someone’s uniformed knee and thigh in your field of vision. It was a tremendous effort to open your eyes the whole way, and you groaned at the bright lights of your kitchen. 

“There she is,” a voice said softly. The heat of a palm on your shoulder made you blink, then look up into the face of someone you couldn’t be happier to see. “Well, hello there, darlin’.”

“Stevie?” you croaked.

Steve chuckled lowly and shook his head. The sound of his uniform shuffling against the kitchen floor while he moved backwards grated on your ears. “In the flesh. Just what do you think you’re doing passing out on us?” You watched as he pulled free a blood pressure cuff from the bag beside him, and he placed it by his knee. “Gave Buck one hell of a scare–never seen him drive so fast for a call.”

You tried to sit up, but Steve’s hand stopped you. “Not a good idea, doll. Do as you’re told and sit still for us.” The huff you blew out your lips in response made Steve’s brow quirk. “Are you gonna make me call for that oaf out there to come in? He’s not exactly… Calm, and I don’t think he’s gonna let you get off the hook so easily.”

“I’m sorry,” you rasped, grimacing at how scratchy your throat felt. “I didn’t-”

Another set of footsteps followed by the mechanical whirl of a stretcher bed interrupted you. “Peanut, baby, you better not be fuckin’ apologisin’, or I swear-” 

“She wasn’t,” Steve cut in, shooting you a meaningful glance. 

A brunette – charming, handsome, and pissed, came into view. “Just what do you think you were doin’?”

“I was making lunch,” you replied petulantly. “I didn’t think it was that bad.”

Both Steve and Bucky shot you a disbelieving look. “Doll, we love you,” Steve began as he unstuck the cuff for the blood pressure machine. “But you are sometimes too damn stubborn.”

“Tell me about it,” Bucky agreed. 

You frowned up at him. “So sorry.” A grimace of pain twisted your features when the cuff around your arm blew up.

“Stevie, jus’–let me, I’ll do it.” Bucky took Steve’s place and put the earpieces of his stethoscope snuggly in his ears. “Sit still and breathe for me.”

Moments passed in silence while Bucky took the reading of your blood pressure. Finally, the tightness of the cuff lessened, and you breathed a sigh of relief. “It looks like it was just a spell,” Bucky explained, the cuff rolled up in one hand and the stethoscope in the other. “I’m comfortable with where it’s at now–that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook.”

Steve looked down at you with a flash of sympathy, and then he rose to move the bags onto the stretcher. “Told you,” he said, and Bucky snorted. 

“Look,” you began, and Bucky raised his brows. Undeterred, you powered on, “I didn’t think that I’d end up on the floor–I swear. I’ve got a doctor’s appointment tomorrow, Buck. I’ll tell them what happened.”

“I’m takin’ you,” Bucky said simply, and you conceded defeat with a sigh. “Thank you. Now, idiot over there-” He pointed over his shoulder at Steve, who flipped him off. “And I will help you up off the floor and set you up on the couch. You’re not to move ‘till I get home. Understood?”

“Understood.” The concession, while easy and truthful, still stung. You hated bad days. 

Carefully, both Bucky and Steve held your elbows and slowly raised you, reassuring you that they would never drop you, nor make you do this on your own, and it was then that you settled with a wave of trust and security. 

“I’ll go get the truck ready, okay?” Steve asked Bucky, who nodded. Steve then looked at you. “You take it easy now, little Peanut. I wouldn’t put it past this brute to actually break down your door if you pass out again.”

Bucky scowled. “Fuck off, punk.”

You waved lazily as Steve retreated outside, the stretcher clunking and wheeling along in front of him. 

“I’m sorry, babe,” you whispered, and Bucky clicked his tongue in admonishment. “I really am.”

“Don’t you go apologisin’ for somethin’ outta your control, baby girl.” He sat down next to you and pulled you close to his side. “I was only mad because I was scared shitless–I don’t like seein’ my girl’s address on the dispatch notes.”

“Okay,” you murmured, smiling softly at the feel of Bucky’s lips on your temple. “You better go save some lives so you can come home to me, Bubs.”

Bucky grinned – a bright, charming thing that set the butterflies in your stomach alight. 

“You betcha, sweetheart.” He stood up and walked to the door, his hand on the handle as you settled on the cushions with your favourite blankets. “And I was serious, no movin’ ‘till I get home later. I’ll text you, alright?”

“Yessir.” Bucky shot you a look, and opened the door. “See you when you get home, Bubs!”

“Behave!” he called and the door closed softly behind him.

In the silence that followed, you sighed heavily, content to lie and wait for him to come home after being his heroic self.

This aesthetic challenge that I dreamt up with my partner in crime, @sgt-seabass, is my definition of a fun event - and helping her with her debut has been a pleasure!
