Come Closer, I'll Protect You

Bucky's Outfit!

Bucky had to admit he was nervous. Being someone that did believe in ghosts, he had no idea what they were going to run into. And Daniel was taking him to a cemetery of all places? 

This had been what Bucky wanted though, to be near Daniel again. Unfortunately, it had been a week before they were finally able to get together, due to their hectic schedules. It was enough time to make his heart to his throat when he saw Daniel's car pull up to pick him up. He felt like a teen again.

"As ready as I can be, I suppose," Bucky said darkly, swallowing as he got out of the car as well. 

He didn't waste any time scurrying over to Daniel's side. He didn't want to appear like someone who got scared so easily, but goddamnit all, he was already jumpy. 

"A-And you said you're not going to try to scare me, right?" Bucky asked, his voice quavering just slightly as he made sure their deal was still intact.

He knew he was going to regret this decision. Bucky swallowed, reaching for the other earbud and stuck it in his ear, "I'll listen too..."



Bucky tucked himself close to Daniel when the shorter man linked arms with him as they delved into the graveyard. This was ridiculously cliche, looking for ghosts in a graveyard. He wasn't sure though if he was shaking because of nerves or excitement. 

It was a really nice night, quiet and clear. If only this was a midnight stroll around the lake and not around gravestones. 

"I honestly didn't think you were actually going to bring me somewhere this spooky," Bucky tried to joke, his voice still shaking a little, "Do you come here often to find ghosts? Id assume they would run pretty rampant around here..."

Bucky's foot hit a ground stone, making him stumble and clutch onto Daniel harder. 

Bucky snorted, steadying himself on Daniel's arm. 

"Trust me, I have no intention of getting closer than I need to," Bucky chuckled, easily snaking his arm to wrap around the shorter man's waist.

He squeezed him gently before he frowned, hearing whispy words in his ear that had the earbud placed in it. He gasped slightly, not sure if he heard it correctly, but it sounded like a man's voice warning Bucky he'd better be nice to Daniel. What the fuck?

Bucky's hair stood on end as he felt suddenly chilly. With a tight voice, he whispered to his date, "Daniel, did you hear--AHH!!"

Bucky shouted in terror when the feeling of cold fingers traced down his neck, making him jerk away. He dropped the EMP and skittered to the side, tripping over another gravestone. He landed hard before scrambling upwards and instinctively stood in front of Daniel in a protective stance, "We better get out of here, these spirits are definitely hostile!"
