“Go back to sleep"
Bucky is asleep in bed when he feels someone step into his room and his eyes shoot open and he’s up and out of bed drawing a knife from under his pillow and he stares at the open orange portal.
“Stephen?” Bucky says tucking the knife behind his back sheepishly.
“I’m sorry to bother you so late, but Tony had a nightmare and he’s worried about you because of what happened in the dream. Do you think you could come over so that he can see that you’re okay?” Stephen asks and Bucky finds himself nodding and stepping through the portal with Stephen, right into what Bucky assumes is their bedroom and he’s shocked at how huge the bed is. But then again, that seems like something they would need what with the sheer number of people in the relationship.
Bucky has to give it to the make of the bed, there’s still enough room for at least one more person maybe two. Perfect setup for them to cuddle and do other things in bed.
Bucky’s eyes adjust to the dim lighting to see Tony sitting up against the headboard sniffling softly.
“Hey there Tony,” Bucky says softly moving closer to the bed and Tony looks up at him.
“Bucky? I’m so sorry I couldn’t save you and it’s all my faul…” Tony says but Bucky places a finger over his lips.
“Shhhhh Tony. It’s okay. I’m okay. I’m grateful for the worry but I’m perfectly fine. You didn’t do anything wrong,” Bucky says shushing him softly and Tony sniffles and reaches for him and Bucky takes a deep breath and hugs him.
When they both pull apart Bucky notices that Tony is yawning repeatedly and Bucky smiles.
“Go back to sleep. I’ll be here when I way up,” Bucky says and that seems to be the magic words because Tony has passed completely out. Pulling Bucky into bed with them and Bucky watches Stephen climb into bed and before he knows it everyone, including himself, is asleep.
