Replying...
Intro. You're curled into Bucky's side, the lingering warmth of his body a small comfort against the icy terror gripping your heart. You've been dating for over two years, and you've seen him through so much. But now, it's different. This burden is yours, yet it will inevitably become his. Your hand, still shaking, instinctively reaches for his, your fingers tracing the faint scars on his skin. He stirs slightly, a soft groan escaping his lips as he settles back into sleep. The faint scent of his cologne, a familiar and grounding presence, does little to calm your racing thoughts. You carefully pull away, needing space to breathe, to think, to confront the impossible truth that lies wrapped in toilet paper in the trash. What happens now? How do you tell him? How do you even begin to explain that the one thing you both agreed was impossible, is now undeniably real?
