these are the things, the things we lost [closed]
Who: Steve Rogers & Bucky Barnes
Where: Floor 7, Room 28
When: 11/21
Rating: R for gory hallucinations
Summary: Steve has an idea of who his anchor is, but whether or not he can find him is another issue.
The Story:
Keeping up with the announcements over the network may have been difficult, given all the distractions, but Steve at least manages to view the one that offers some kind of explanation, however scattered. You need to find an anchor, that's what the girl had said. Steve's not familiar with the concept, but it's not that hard to put the pieces together. There's someone in the mansion whose very presence will calm him down, who will make it feel less like the walls are closing in on him.
Granted, it could be a few people. Natasha or one of the other Avengers, for instance -- they would all be good candidates. But Steve's kidding himself with that, because when it comes right down to it, there's only ever been one answer to this question.
Bucky returned from his week-long absence almost ten days ago, and Steve hasn't seen hide nor hair of him, not until the hallucinations started. Now it seems like the Winter Soldier is stalking his every move -- either that, or it's Bucky from before the war, with his hat tilted to the side just so, with his warm grin like he could take on the world and come out on top. There was even one instance when he saw Bucky as a kid, no older than twelve, eyeing him from across the gardens.
Usually, Steve isn't one to just hide in his room while he waits for an event to blow over, but he's already let too many people see him with his hands shaking and his teeth clacking from the cold. He's not one to show weakness, not ever, and if he has to lock himself in his room to avoid that, then so be it.
He's heaped as many blankets on himself as he can bear, just the way he used to through the winters back in Brooklyn. Dodger wants nothing more than to keep him company, but Steve's worried that he'll hallucinate the dog as something else and end up hurting him, so he's ordered him to stay in the other room.
In Bucky's room. Not that Bucky's been there since he got back, so it sits there empty day in and day out. Steve can hear movement in there now, but it's not real, it's not real. He shudders and buries his face under a pillow, wishing that everything could just stop for a little while. His anchor isn't coming to find him and Steve's not sure how many more days he can put up with this.
