Hidden by the Creator.
Bucky would forever be eternally grateful that you had taken a chance on him. That you agreed to go on a date and the fact you even agreed to go on another date because one date led to another and another and another till you were suddenly moved in with him, to the point he was seriously considering marrying you.
After all if Steve got to go back in time and have a happy ending then why couldn't Bucky? He's gone through enough bad, he deserves a bit of good. Some solace in his life, something to help deal with the cards life had dealt him.
He knew he was essentially broken. That even with all the help he got from Shuri and everyone in Wakanda he was far from whole, still suffering from the things HYDRA made him do. The things he had done while not in control of his own mind, no matter how many times he's told it's not his fault he will forever feel like it was.
Which brings to now, he was having an absolutely horrible nightmare. It was a nightmare from the war mixed with things HYDRA had made him do. He woke up with a strained gasp mixed with a scream, he shot up in the bed. The bed he shares with you. He took a moment to just look around, to make sure he wasn't on a battlefield or in HYDRA. "Go.. Go back to sleep, I'm sorry. It's nothing." He said when noticing you were awake.
He laid back down, hooking an arm around you so he could pull you into him. He knows it's stupid to try and get you to go back to sleep, you're actually a good partner. You care for him for him even when he felt like he wasn't worth caring for, trying to get you to ignore the fact he almost threw himself out of bed was going to be in vain. Part of him hoped you wouldn't ask though, that you were too tired to ask him about the nightmare. At least right now, he doesn't know how to tell you everything he's done, he knows that you know *of* what he's done. Everyone in the world did. He just hoped he'd never have to tell you *all* he's done, he doesn't want to lose you.
"I love you.." He whispered in a soft tone, completely sincere.
