This is written for @the-ss-horniest-book-club​ 😍 and for our Heroes that are facing this invisible villain rn. Thank you for everything. I am wishing and praying for your safety.

And for everyone, Stay home and stay safe. We will survive this 💪

Hope y'all will like this and I'd love to hear about what you think of it. 🥰

You're a loner, you don't mind being alone and staying home but this is too much! Being stuck inside your apartment for 3 weeks now and not going to work, you feel like you're about to lose your mind.

It was another boring morning and you've decided to go and clean your place.

Opening up the window to let the dust fly out you started working.

You were busy watering the plants on your balcony when you heard a meowing somewhere near you. Frowning knowing you're at the 10th floor you got up and looked around and you saw this little kitty hanging at the balcony of the room above yours.

Heart beating, you took a chair and went to reach for it coz any moment now it's going to fall and might die.

"Omg poor baby, why are you there it's not safe." You said to the little white ball of fur. You stroked its head cradling it near your chest. The poor thing is shaking.

Shaking your head you went out with the Kitty to go up another floor to knock on the room above yours.

Still hugging the poor kitty with one arm you knocked and knocked and even waited for 30 minutes but no one came out. You sighed.

No one must have been home so you went back to your floor and closed all possible areas that the kitty might sneak into.

Thinking of how you can tell the person above that you have it's pet, your eyes landed on your sketchbook and an idea popped in.

You took your supplies and got to work sketching the little cutie and writing a note stating you have their cat. Nodding at your work you got up and went back to the room above and pushed the folded paper under the door. Hopefully they'll see it once they're home.

Preparing for the night you got dressed in your pj and was ready to head to bed where the kitty is already asleep, when a knock came at your door. You went and looked at the peephole but only saw a muscled back.

"Who's there?" You asked, not yet opening the door for safety.

"Uhm hey, its... I-I'm from the room above, I saw your note on my door." Said the man. You felt yourself blush hearing his voice. You're always teased with your rough voice kink by your friends and this man just sounded so delish in your ears.

You opened the door and peaked.

"H-hi... I'm glad you're here now. I got her, lemme just get her she's asleep in my room." You said offering for him to get in and wait at your couch. The man looks so good you feel like you're dreaming.

"Thanks doll." He said and smiled.

It felt like your soul left your body and you felt tingles running from your toes to your belly. Walking a bit fast you almost tripped on your way to your room.

"Hey, kitty, I'm sorry to disturb your sleep." You said and softly carried her. She meowed a bit and snuggled back on your arms.

"Wow, she's never been that friendly to strangers…" the man said standing up when he saw you walking back from your bedroom.

"Really? But she's been such a sweetheart the whole day." You said confused.

"Yes she is but not to everyone…" he said, you looked up and saw him looking at you with soft eyes and a cute smirk in his sexy lips.

Swallowing you step closer but in a safe distance to transfer the sleeping furball to his arms.

"She was hanging at your balcony this morning, maybe next time make sure it's closed whenever you go out?" You said to him, your voice a bit hard.

"I know, thank you for saving Alphine, I would have lost my mind if she's hurt or...worse…" he said biting his lips. "I usually had everything closed whenever I go on my duty but I must have been very tired last night and forgot to check when I had an emergency call earlier this morning." He said scratching his head.

You can see that he really felt guilty you felt bad from scolding him. He also looks very tired.

"I'm sorry for scolding you." You sigh, "you look worn out. Are you alright?" You asked.

"Yeah, just tired from work. We had an all nighter the other day and today is supposed to be my off but there was an emergency call and I have to go and do my job." He said, sighing and softly running his hand at the cat's head.

"I'm so sorry to hear that." You said, your eyes twitched wanting to pat his back but you remember, social distancing. "So I assume you work at the frontlines or essentials, if you still have work right now?" You said not wanting to make him leave after what you heard. You're sure he wants someone to talk to right now.

"Yeah, I work as an EMT." He said.

"Oh...wow, I'd like to thank you and everyone in your field for working hard for us." You said looking straight at his beautiful blue eyes. He really looks tired.

"Thank you doll. I really love my job but this pandemic made it feel like a torture." His expression changed into that of someone who had seen so much.

"I wish I could help…" you whispered.

"You already are helping-" he looked at you, "I don't think I got your name."

"It's Y/N and you're?" You answered.

"James Barnes but you can call me Bucky." He smiled and you feel like your heart is starting to malfunction. "As I was saying, you're helping. By staying home you've been a big help for us who are working to keep everyone safe and for yourself too." He said sweetly. "And you even saved my little Alphine so I think you've helped greatly."

Feeling your face heat up at his gaze and what he said.

You nodded at him and a thought came to your mind.

"W-well...just a thought? If you ever need to go on an all nighter again you can leave Alphine here with me so she won't be alone for a long time." You said with a hopeful look in your eyes.

"Oh no, I don't want to trouble you anymore." He said.

"It's okay, i really need the company myself too." You laugh. "It's not fun being alone and trapped inside. And she's a sweetheart so i would love to babysit her from time to time."

You swallowed a lump at your throat when you saw how he's staring at you. Eyes running up and down your face and stopping to meet your eyes.

"I'd love to hug you, but it's not safe at the moment. Thank you for that offer. I'll let you know if ever I need to go and ask for help." You weren't able to stop the wide smile that formed on your lips from what he said. He's really sweet even though he look like he's all hard muscles inside his henley.

"Maybe once everything is safe…" you winked at him. "I'll expect that hug." And that made his face go red. Oh boy... I'm in trouble.

Not knowing that with the help of little Alphine you've already met your forever.

Truly loved this ❤️

For You

(Oneshot)

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Essential-services!Gender-neutral!reader

Words: 1100+

Type: Fluff. Slight angst?

Warnings: Nudity(not graphic).

Summary: Morning approaches and you need to step outside in the clutter for the benefit of others. Bucky does all he could to help you through it.

A/N: This is for @the-ss-horniest-book-club HBC 24 Hour Surprise Drabble Challenge: Quarantine Heroes. I didn’t choose a specific AU. This is for all the angels working outside to make our lives easier, no matter who you are or what work you do. If you’re helping us in anyway, you’re already a hero. Thank you! If you’re reading this, hope you like my little treat to you!

The night was silent outside under the reflection of a crescent moon hardly visible from his place, but he knew the presence of which. The cimmerian sky twinkled at some distance. Darkness loomed over the empty streets and poured in through the windows but was blocked by the LEDs he worked under the range of.

Under the soft yellow lights in his space, Bucky moved from one part of the counter to the other. Gathering. Preparing. Cooking. Frying. Toasting. Packing. For you.

Being one of the few whose work mattered the most; which was important and necessary to most in the uncontrollably dangerous times today, you needed to head out soon to do your part in holding a semblance of peace and order in the disarray the world had become. Bucky couldn’t make the world less chaotic for you, he hadn’t got that power. But he could make life less hectic for you. He had the power and the will to do so.

A Good Job

Pairing: Paramedic!Bucky x Reader

Word count: 1k

Warnings: SADS, feelings and reflecting on stress, trauma, anxiety etc. Some fluff, but general heaviness. 

A/N: A bit of a reflection here, I’m sorry! Written for @the-ss-horniest-book-club​ 24 Hour Surprise Drabble Challenge: Quarantine Heroes

It’s a crazy world right now, be gentle with yourself. There is a lot going on, and a lot on all of our minds. Stay strong and hold on, you’re all doing great! Thankfully we’re all in it together ❤️

A thousand thank-yous to all the healthcare workers out there. Nurses, paramedics: I hold you dear to my heart, being both a part of my family, and also having literally saved the lives of members of my family. Thank you.

Life was stressful these days. Even though your life hadn’t been immediately affected, no one you knew personally was sick and you were still able to work from home, but state of emergency, more bad news every day, and uncertainty of the whole situation was mentally draining, to say the least. It was definitely wearing on you.

You decided to try and pamper yourself and relax this evening so you drew a bubble bath and lit some candles, hoping to soak away your anxieties. But once you’d settled in, your mind kept wandering back to all the stories you’d heard and the questions and fears you had.

It was too much.

Try as you might you couldn’t calm your mind. Your thoughts shifted to your boyfriend, Bucky, who should be home from his shift soon, as long as there were no emergencies. He was a paramedic, and your heart ached for the things he saw and dealt with on the job. You didn’t know how he did it, how he could handle it, and usually he would smile and say he was fine, but sometimes you could see the despair written on his face, remembering the traumas he’d responded to.

You were too empathetic, and once you imagined yourself in his shoes, or in the shoes of nurses and healthcare workers who were dealing with the crisis first-hand day after day, you felt tears well up in your eyes. It wasn’t long before you were full-on crying, the weight of the stress you’d been feeling for the last while all pouring out at once.

You didn’t hear the door open when Bucky got home, but he heard you. The sound of your crying broke his heart, and he gently tapped on the bathroom door, opening it to check on you.

“Babe?” He called out to you gently, trying not to startle you, but he couldn’t keep the smile from his face at the first glance of you. Hair in a messy bun, candles, bubble bath, and what you would call your ugly-crying face. He wanted so badly to scoop you up in his arms and comfort you in that moment. It hurt and warmed his heart at the same time.

Once you saw him, however, it was like your guard came down and you started crying harder.

“Bucky, I’m sad!” you sobbed and he had to bite back a chuckle. “I’m overwhelmed!”

“Shh, it’s okay baby,” Bucky soothed, crouching down next to the tub, tucking a wet, stray piece of hair behind your ear. “It’s okay! I’m okay, everything’s gonna be alright.” You nodded your head and sniffled, hiccuping, but he didn’t look convinced. Bucky smiled softly and then stood up, whipping his shirt off over his head.

“That’s it,” he stated, stripping off his pants and underwear in one go, and pulling his socks off. He stood there, gloriously naked, and jerked his chin at you to shove over. Normally you’d be all over him at this point, unable to keep your hands off that beautifully sculpted body, but right now you were sad and just wanted to curl up and let it all go. You drew your legs up closer to yourself and he stepped into the tub with you. It was squishy, but it was comforting, and neither of you wanted to be alone right now.

The bubbles poofed up higher as Bucky sat down and put his legs on either side of you. He took one of yours in his hands and gently massaged your foot. A small smile formed on your lips and he smiled back. You chatted briefly about your concerns, asked him how his day had been, and then fell into a comfortable silence. You loved how he was so easy to talk to, so strong, yet so calm and gentle. You were thankful that’d he’d chosen the career path that he had - he was perfect for it.

Bucky slowly massaged one of your feet, then moved to the other, falling back into his own thoughts. He’d seen all kinds of things on the job, car accidents, stabbings, people getting sick in their homes, heart attacks. The pandemic had brought a whole new world of challenges, and a lot of the calls were responding to people with respiratory problems. The look of fear in their eyes haunted him. He’d done a lot of training to separate his work from personal life, but in times of crisis it was hard to forget. Especially when he had a caring heart and did everything he could for people when he was on call.

Before he realised what had happened, Bucky’s chest was tight and he felt tears slip from his eyes and run down his cheeks. He squeezed your foot gently to pull you from your thoughts and your eyes flicked to his. If he was more of a betting man, he’d wager that both your hearts were breaking in that moment, seeing the tears of the other. He didn’t let it show often, but it all had been tiring as hell lately. He tried his best for every call he went on, and it broke his heart when there was nothing he could do. But he’d keep going, keep trying, keep serving the community, saving lives when he could, holding hands and trying to just be there for people.

Seeing tears on Bucky’s face broke your heart, and you needed to be closer to him. You moved towards him, trying to get into his lap without splashing too much over the side of the tub. Bucky scooped you into his arms and you reached up to cup his face, wiping away the tears.

“Bucky,” you whispered. “You are amazing. You’re doing a good job,” he blinked back more tears and he bit his lip, trying to keep a hold on his feelings, but failing miserably. He took in a shuddering breath and then pulled you into a crushing hug. Your heart broke again as you felt his shoulders shaking with silent sobs, finally letting it all out.

You sat for quite a while, holding each other, just letting go. The stress, the fears, the anxieties. Tomorrow you’d have to pick back up and brush yourselves off. Keep going. But for today, today you could both let your guard down and take comfort in the arms of each other.

In Sickness and Health

Pairing: Paramedic!Barnes x Infected!reader

Summary: Bucky is a paramedic and is on the front line in the health care, helping thousands of people with Coronavirus. When one particular patient becomes extremely sick and has to be admitted to hospital, he gives her hope and the will to fight the virus.

Authors Notes: This is written for @the-ss-horniest-book-club for the Quarantine Heroes challenge 💕🌸

Bucky has lost count how many times he’s sat outside on the steps of the hospital crying because of the pain in his patient’s eyes. He sees the pain daily, how badly this virus can effect people in so many different ways. 

Bucky feels helpless, he wants to help and save as many people as he possibly can. He wants to save someone’s mother, father, daughter, son, grandparent. Because he too had a family once, and knew what he would be willing to do to keep them safe. 

Another call comes in over the ambulance radio. A patient with severe breathing difficulties needs assistance right away. Bucky stands abruptly, wiping his hands on his paramedic pants as he jumps in the driver’s side of the ambulance. Once he and his partner Sam have established where they are going, the sirens blare through the streets of New York. Because these guys know that every second counts. 

“Patient’s name is Y/N, Y/L/N. A (Your age and gender), started showing symptoms 3 days ago which have gotten considerably worse.” Bucky slaps the steering wheel, frustration returning because he wants to do more but knows there’s nothing else to do. 

The paramedics reach your apartment after changing into their PPE, where a doctor is already inside and gave you an oxygen mask. Bucky kneels in front of you and grasps your knee, squeezing it reassuringly.

“Hello, ma’am. I’m Bucky and I’m gonna take care of you alright?” You nod your head, gasping for air as the mask does very little. “You’re going to be absolutely fine.” He has said this phrase so many times throughout his career, it sounds almost robotic. “I need you to keep breathing through the mask for me. We’re gonna get you to the hospital in a bit.” 

Bucky checks your blood pressure, your heart and the other essentials and writes them down on the pad. 

You get a good look at Bucky. His bright blue eyes make you feel safe. They remind you of the ocean. His eyes are shielded behind some plastic eye protection. A medical mask covering his mouth and he’s dressed in a white hazmat suit. His deep velvety voice keeps you grounded. 

Bucky looks up from his pad and smiles behind his mask. He stares deeply into your (eye colour) eyes, he takes a glance around your apartment and he smiles. 

“I see you like 40′s Jazz music. When you get better we should go dancing, just as a celebration!” He beams and you nod, agreeing. You would love that. You’ve always wanted to line dance. “Great. Come on, let’s get you to the hospital and on a ventilator. You gotta get better now, you owe me a dance.” 

The only thing on your mind was your family and this paramedic who risked his life to make sure he could save yours. 

You would forever be grateful to the heroes working on the front line. Doing their best to keep patients alive. You hoped your immune system would be strong enough to fight this.

Walking down the aisle of the grocery store you search for your favorite cereal. Finally spotting a few boxes on the very top shelf you stop your cart and look around mumbling to yourself, “how the hell am I going to reach that?” You step on the bottom shelf and test its strength, watching as it bows under the pressure of your foot.

“Nope.” you say to yourself and back up.  “Hey, doll, need some help?” You whirl around, hand over your heart as you lock eyes with one of the most handsome men you’ve ever seen. His smile crinkles the corners of his eyes as you take in his gear; tight navy tee shirt, suspenders resting across his broad shoulders and chest and black protective pants. It takes you a moment to find your voice, “yes, please. I can’t reach my cereal.”

Tearing his eyes away from you he looks up, “which one can I grab for ya, doll.” He’s only called you doll twice but you’re certain you want to hear it fall from his lips for the rest of your life. A blush coats your cheeks as you murmur, “Lucky Charms.” His smile widens as he reaches up and grabs 4 boxes. “Here you go, one for you, and three for us. The guys love this stuff too.”

You rock back and forth on the balls of your feet, hugging the box of cereal, “thanks for coming to my rescue.” His laugh rings through the aisle and you can’t help your own giggle from escaping. “Anytime, doll, it’s my job,” he says with a wink. “I’m James by the way, but everyone calls me Bucky.”

“Nice to meet you, Bucky. I’m y/n.” “Barnes!!! Barnes, quitcha flirting and let’s go, I’m hungry.” With one last dazzling smile Bucky bids you farewell, “pleasure is all mine, y/n, hope to see ya around.” You watch him jog off toward the other guys, the one who yelled for Bucky giving you a wink and a wave. You wave back, turning around quickly to hide your ear to ear grin.

The next morning you wake to sunshine and a cool breeze coming in through the open window. You sit up and watch your dog do her downward dog off the bed, immediately nosing you for breakfast. You both have a bite to eat then decide it’s too nice not to head out for a morning walk.

As soon as the warm sunshine hits your face you’re reminded of Bucky and his smile, warmth now flooding through your body for a different reason. You round the corner, mind far away as you keep going over your run in with the handsome fireman from yesterday.

It isn’t until you almost trip over Huckle’s leash that you hear a voice calling your name. Turning toward the sound you watch as Bucky jogs toward you, “hey y/n!!! I wasn’t sure I’d ever get your attention.” You both laugh as he bends down to pet your dog. “And who is this cutie?”  he asks in his best ‘omg I love dogs’ voice. “That’s Huckle!”

He continues rubbing her chest and sides, laughing as Huckle licks his face, “I think she likes me.” Bucky finally stands and you take a moment to get another good look at him. You never thought suspenders could look so good. “She loves walks and it was such a nice morning we had to come out and enjoy it,” you explain.

“Beautiful,” he hums, his eyes looking you over. Your skin tingles under his heated gaze and you finally remember how to speak, “what are you doing out here.” He turns his head and points to the firehouse, “at work. I saw you walking by and had to say hi.”

“I’m glad you did. I hope I’m not taking up too much of your time.” He motions for you to follow him, “not at all, doll, in fact, you’ll have to come say hi to the guys now because they’ve been staring at us the whole time and I’ll get endless shit over it if I don’t introduce you properly.”

Your stomach drops, nervousness instantly taking over as you walk slowly behind him, “are you sure, Bucky, I don’t want to be in the way or anything.” This time he grabs your hand and pulls you along, “not at all, it’s a quiet morning.”

The door to the firehouse is open and you see the other firemen perched in various positions by the opening, a couple of them holding bowls of Lucky Charms. The one who winked and waved to you yesterday stands up and yells, “hey look it’s our lucky charm.” Bucky leans down next to your ear and whispers, “just ignore them, they live to tease anyone they can.”

Knowing your cheeks must be as red as the engine you dip your head and laugh, “hey guys!” Bucky stops with his hands on his hips, “ok, enough Wilson, save it for her next visit.” The whole group erupts into snickers and whistles, “you plan on having her back then, Barnes, yeah!” Bucky turns a grinning face to you, “this is the first time I’ve brought a girl around.”

Now it’s your turn to give him a bright smile, “well, I certainly feel special.” Huckle strains on her leash as she pulls you closer inside. The guys crowd around to pet her much to her glee and it gives you and Bucky a quiet moment. “So, you must live close by then,” he asks, rubbing the back of his neck. “I do, right around the corner actually, what about you?” “Just a few blocks over, makes getting to work really easy.”

The two of you notice the silence simultaneously, turning to see Huckle lying on her back, surrounded by 5 grinning guys. The one named Wilson speaks first, “well, Barnes, ask her out already. We’re all waitin’.” Throwing them the middle finger he grabs Huckle’s leash and walks you both back out into the sunshine, “so whaddya say doll, would you go out with me some time?”

Your answer is immediate, “I’d love to!” Cheers erupt from the doorway, complete with high fives and fist bumps. “How do you manage all day with them?” you ask with a sweet laugh. “It’s not that bad…. sometimes I end up punching one of them but ya know, we love each other.” You throw your head back in laughter, “I bet.”

“Can I get your number? I’ll check out the shifts for the weekend and let you know when I’m free so we can set something up.” Taking his phone from his hand you punch in your name and number, handing it back to him, “there ya go.” He looks down, the small green four-leaf clover emoji next to your name making him smile for the 100th time. “Thanks, lucky charm, I’ll talk you soon.” In a bold move you lean up and kiss him on the cheek, waving goodbye to the sounds of more cheers and whistles.

Your first date with Bucky is everything you hoped it would be, he’s sweet and romantic but all the while assertive and strong in all the right ways. You’re falling hard but you don’t want to mess it up by moving too fast. The evening ends with a heated kiss on your doorstep, Bucky reluctant to pull away from your soft lips, “I’m sorry if I took that too far, doll, it’s just…I’ve been thinking about kissing you since we met.”

Grabbing him by the collar of his shirt you pull him down to your lips once again, effectively letting him know it was more than fine. When you finally separate it’s with heavy breaths and swollen lips. “Can I see you again?” he whispers, eyes darting back to your lips. “I can’t wait,” you say, giving him one more chaste kiss before backing into your doorway and slowly closing it. The last thing you see is Bucky standing there with his bottom lip between his teeth and his eyes dark.

The next few days go by in a blur, work keeping you busy and your upcoming date with Bucky keeping you giddy. Bucky had a 24-hour shift on Thursday, so your date was scheduled for Saturday to give him some time to rest.

Saturday arrived and you couldn’t stop smiling. It seemed you had been doing that since you met him. Bucky showed up at your door on time and looking better than ever. The jeans he wore hugged his thick thighs perfectly and the buttons of his shirt were pulled tight across his muscled chest.

“You look gorgeous, doll.” Your heart goes aflutter in your chest, the use of the endearment never failing to make you swoon. “Thanks,” you reply shyly, taking his hand and heading out. Your second date is even better than the first, Bucky’s attentiveness something you weren’t used to. He just seems so perfect.

The end of night finds you pressed against your door, Bucky’s hard body flush to yours as he kisses you senseless. You pull away to take a breath, fiddling with the buttons on his shirt, “do you wanna come in?” Cupping your cheek, he quietly asks, “are you sure, y/n? I can wait if that’s what you want.” Running your fingers under his shirt you grab the waistband of his jeans, “I want you.”

His large hands fumble with the door, finally getting it open as you two practically fall inside. Your night together is better than anything you could imagine, and you wake up to another sunny day feeling more satisfied and happier than you have in a long time.

“Morning beautiful,” Bucky whispers against your hair, pulling your naked body closer to his. “Morning, Buck,” you giggle, kissing his chest. “What time do you have to be at work?” you ask, hoping it isn’t until later. “Unfortunately, I have the early shift today, I have to leave in a few,” he says sadly.

You unwillingly untangle yourselves and watch Bucky get dressed from your bed, appreciating his body in the morning light. He leaves you with kiss swollen lips and promises to call later. The rest of your morning is spent cleaning up your apartment and as you do so you find a treasure balled up in your bed from last night.

You shower and throw it on, sniffing the collar of Bucky’s tee shirt from the firehouse. It smells so good you don’t take it off for the rest of the day. And that’s how you find yourself, Bucky’s shirt hanging off your frame as you and Huckle strut down the block toward the firehouse.  He had text you only a little while ago, saying he missed you and if you weren’t busy to come down for a visit.

You quickly responded and told him you’d be there in under and hour, baking some of your famous chocolate chip cookies before heading out. As you approach the firehouse you notice the garage door is open and Bucky is leaning against the frame, legs crossed over each other and scrolling through his phone.

He looks up at the sound of Huckle’s happy bark, his smile lighting up his face. You watch as his eyes drink you in, roaming over your body from head to toe, “hey, doll.��� His arm snakes around your waist and he pulls you in for a toe-curling kiss, a breathy “hi,” leaving your lips afterwards. Bucky makes sure to say hi to Huckle, rubbing her all over before looking back to you.

You watch as his eyes land on your chest, widening slightly before they darken, “what are you wearing?” he asks, voice deep. You immediately panic, looking down and realizing he is referring to his tee shirt, “oh, this? You left it this morning and it’s so soft and smells like you, so I didn’t want to take it off…. I hope that’s ok,” you ask guiltily.

He crashes you to his chest, his nose rubbing against yours. “It’s more than ok doll, I love you in it, you can keep it.” Bucky brings his lips down to yours, his tongue parting your mouth as he deepens the kiss. You don’t even realize you have an audience until the very familiar voice of Wilson resonates through the open space, “looks like Barnes finally found himself a girl!” The next comment makes you both laugh enough to end your kiss, “and she brought us cookies!” yells Parker, rushing over to grab some.
