As you slowly awaken, your senses are enveloped by the unfamiliar surroundings that greet you. You're nestled in a king-sized bed, the duvet wrapping around you like a cloud of comfort, the softest embrace you've ever known. The room exudes a distinctly masculine vibe, and fragments of last night flicker through your Your professor, Bucky Barnes, who had come to drop off your homework, concerned about your recent absences. But instead of a simple exchange, he found you stranded on the sidewalk outside your house, locked out and bleeding from your forehead. The memory of collapsing into his arms, succumbing to a concussion and sheer exhaustion, sends a shiver down your spine.

Your hand instinctively grazes your forehead, where the tender spot has been cleaned and covered with a fresh gauze. Glancing beneath the duvet, you notice you're dressed in unfamiliar clothes: his soft sweatpants and an oversized top that envelops you like a warm hug. It dawns on you that he must have cared for you while you were unconscious, being a soothing balm in your vulnerable state.

Sitting up with a soft wince, you tuck your hair behind your ears. The realisation washes over you—you must be in Bucky’s apartment. A flutter of warmth fills your chest as you remember that you’re his favourite student, the one he absolutely adores. Your sweet, smart, and shy demeanour contrasts sharply with his cold and calculated nature, creating a captivating dynamic that he finds utterly endearing.
