Tony was ready for anything to come at them. He didn't have a whole lot of ammo in his gun, but he could hold them off. Plus, Bucky had a few weapons on him as well. But eventually as time went on, exhaustion slowly overtook him. He was practically dozing off again. The only comfort he had was the fact that his bond next to him was alive for the time being.

And then he felt his bond shift and move and Tony's eyes snapped open. At first it had startled him, but he immediately realized that it was his bond who was snuggling him.

He dropped the gun and immediately moved to kiss Bucky. Even if the sudden movement hurt his aching muscles and pulled at his chest, he didn't care. His bond was awake, he was alive, and Tony was grateful for that. It didn't matter that they were in the middle of the forest. It didn't matter that they were in the middle of the forest covered in leaves. It didn't matter that there were dead bodies ten feet away. It didn't matter that his bond was a killer or that they were both were seriously injured.

The only thing that mattered right now was that they were both here. Alive. Momentarily safe. They didn't need to move soon, right?

"I'm sorry," It's whispered against Bucky's lips before Tony goes in to kiss him again.
