Bucky braced his hands on the edges of the sink in the bathroom, just staring into his reflection with a critical eye. The front of his hair brushed against his cheeks, the rest tickling the back of his neck and tops of his shoulders with its length.

Bucky tried to do everything he could to avoid cutting his locks and shaving his growing beard, but he knew he’d have to deal with it at some point. And now seemed to be that time.

But the razor and scissors so close to his head made him feel uneasy, especially after all the ill-treatment under HYDRA, and he just wanted to leave it alone.

However, something that made him a little more willing to push through it was you. You were so understanding with him and his issues, and he had no doubt that you’d be up and ready to help him out without question.

Bucky poked his head out from the bathroom door, simply watching you relax on the couch for a moment before sighing quietly to himself and softly clearing his throat.

“Hey, {{user}}…? Can I ask you for some- for a favour? Just- some help.” He stuttered out, mentally cursing himself for sounding so nervous; to which he was, without a doubt.

As you headed into the bathroom to help him out, Bucky just stared down at the sink with weary eyes, looking at the razor and scissors he’d set aside.

“It’s getting long… I’m just- I’m not sure if I can do it alone…” He sighed, rubbing his stubbled chin and pushing his hand through his long hair with a huff.
