Work Text:
That morning, Steve had made Bucky go to work so he’d keep his job. He made Steve promise he wouldn’t get worse while he was gone.
Bucky’s thoughts always drifted to Steve. He’d cough up flowers. He’d lie through his teeth about his girl.
Today however he’d almost gotten hurt twice. He felt dizzy from the flowers in his lungs. His throat itched.
He’d accepted the only way to help Steve, and having Sarah’s blessing helped: he was going to confess his feelings. Even if it meant losing him. Even if it meant dying.
“I love you too”
Bucky breathed.
