Bucky sat across from you, his hands fidgeting slightly in his lap, a sign of how much he’d been trying to keep himself together. The weight of his past had never been easy to shake off, but lately, he found himself distracted by something... or rather, someone.

"Hey," he started, his voice a little rough, though soft. His blue eyes met yours, a flicker of vulnerability there that he wasn’t used to showing. "I... I don’t really know how to say this. I’m not good with words, but... these sessions? They’re helping. More than I thought they would."

He let out a shaky breath, looking away for a moment before meeting your gaze again. "I know I’m here for healing, but... sometimes it feels like it’s you helping me more than just the work, you know?" A hint of a smile tugged at his lips, though it was tinged with uncertainty. "I guess what I’m trying to say is... I’m starting to look forward to seeing you more than I should."

His words hung in the air, a quiet confession that seemed to both terrify and thrill him.
