A/N - just wanted to thank everyone for their reviews and feedback:)

Steve looked at Emily, "it's Bucky, he's having a night terror."

Emily looked at him, still half dazed from waking up. "So why are we just standing here? Shouldn't we wake him up?"

Steve shook his head, "no it's not safe to wake him. He could lash out. It's best to leave him to work through it in his sleep."

Emily peered into Bucky's room, he was wriggling about and shouting. Her heart ached for Bucky. She needed to do something, this was the guy who sensed how uncomfortable she was at the dinner and reassured her. She needed to help him. Emily moved past Steve and into Bucky's room and Steve grabbed hold of Emily's wrist.

"Emily.." Steve started, but was cut off when Emily yanked her arm out of his grasp. She made her way towards Bucky and Steve followed closely behind her.

"Bucky, it's me Emily." She told him as he continued moving and shouting, "I'm just going to sit with you" she carefully placed herself to the empty side of the bed. She slowly placed her hand on his arm and started rubbing it. "Shhh Bucky, it's okay. It's just a dream" she repeated to him until he slowly started to calm down. As he started to stop wriggling she curled up next to him, spooning the back of him. He was still shouting but his body seemed to have calmed down. Emily continued talking to Bucky, telling him it was okay and he was safe. After five minutes Bucky had finally stopped shouting and Emily could tell he was now sleeping peacefully. She continued to hold him as she turned her attention to Steve, "does this always happen?"

Steve nodded, "he's gone through a lot." Emily couldn't see Steve very well, but she could tell this upset him. She watched as he perched on the side of the bed next to her.

"Steve, go get some sleep. I will stay here with him." Emily told him, placing her spare hand on his leg.

"Emily, I can't let you stay here with Bucky. What if he has another night terror?" Steve said concerned and almost like he was about to give her a lecture if she refused to leave.

"Well for one, I'm his soul mate," she told Steve, "and yours" she quickly added smiling at him, "he's not going to hurt me and two I'm not moving, so either you go to bed or we all squidge on here."

Emily positioned herself so she was back to spooning Bucky and Steve slid in next to Emily. She couldn't help but laugh,

"Steve you look so early," she glanced over at him, "just relax."

Bucky

Bucky woke up feeling unusually rested. He suddenly realized something was different, he could feel something draped over his stomach, he glanced down to see an arm. Not just any arm, but Emily's arm. He slowly turned himself trying not to disturb Emily. He looked over and it was definitely Emily...and Steve. Emily was fast asleep, while Steve was awake and signaling for them to get out of the room.

"What's going on?" Bucky asked whispering to Steve as the stood in the living room, "why are you both in my bed?"

"Emily heard you shouting in your sleep and-"

"You let her get into my bed. Steve what if something happened to her?" Bucky quietly shouted in his whisper interrupting Steve mid sentence.

"I didn't just let her, she persisted. So I stayed with her in case." Steve said, "but she was adamant that you wouldn't hurt her." Steve paused for a moment, "but I didn't hear you shouting after"

"No, I don't remember any other nightmares." Bucky told him, rubbing the back of his head. "I do feel really rested."

Bucky could see that Steve was about to say something else but stopped when they both could hear Emily in the other room. She was starting to stir, he followed Steve back into his room and Emily was stretching. She was still in yesterday's clothes and her hair was messy.

He smiled at the memory of her falling asleep in the common, she was sat between him and Steve and next thing he knew he felt her head on his shoulder and was fast asleep. They had bought her back to their apartment to let her sleep.

Bucky's thoughts were interrupted when Emily started speaking, "good morning. Did you guys sleep okay?" He looked over and she was now sat up looking at them.

"You know what you did was pretty reckless." Bucky told her, sitting on the edge of his bed. He noticed that Steve was sat on the other side. "What if you got hurt?"

Bucky wasn't mad, but he didn't like the fact that Emily could have put herself in danger. He knew it hadn't been long since they had found her, but he cared about a lot. So much so, he wanted to deny his feelings in case it ended up with her in danger because of it

"But I wasn't" she told him, straight faced. "Plus if anything happened, Steve was right next to me."

Steve gave Emily his look, the look that he gave when he didn't like hearing something, "Emily-"

"No, don't Emily me, Steve." She told him, Bucky could hear a slight tone of annoyance, "stop acting as if you're damaged good James Barnes. I'm having none of it." Bucky watched as Emily's attention now turned towards Steve, "nothing happened."

Bucky sat there, not entirely sure what to say to this all this. He looked down at his arm, the memories of what happened started to come to surface. He was a trained killer, a monster. Why wasn't she scared of him.

He was soon knocked out of his thoughts when a pillow whacked him in the face, "what did I just tell you?" Emily said, "if you continue thinking like this, the next group date you can stay at home." She smiled at them both as she got out of the bed.

Bucky turned to Steve, "did she really just hit me with that pillow?" Bucky was now laughing,

"Looks like it" Steve smiled at him, Bucky turned his attention back to Emily who was now walking out the room.

"She really is some dame." Bucky said and Steve nodded in agreement.
