Hunting Roses - Chapter 3
Tumblr media
AN: This is a yandere Zemo fic. That means that it will have dark content. I do not endorse these relationships and behaviour in real life. This chapter contains spoilers for past Marvel movies and mentions of a panic attack.
The first thing that you heard when your feet touched the solid ground was a frightened yell of “BABA YAGA!”
“No Kurt,” a soothing, familiar voice replied, sounding more than a little exasperated as you opened your eyes, “that is (Name).  She is a former student.”
You smiled at the Professor and waved at Kurt.
“You should come inside.  We have a lot to discuss,” Professor Xavier stated as he turned his wheelchair around and wheeled himself back inside the school.
Even though the Professor had reassured Kurt that you weren’t Baba Yaga, whoever that was, you still caught the anxious and suspicious glances that Kurt sent in your direction as you walked inside the school.
Growing frustrated with Kurt’s attitude, you spoke, “Who exactly is Baba Yaga?”
Kurt looked embarrassed at being caught but answered you nonetheless, “Baba Yaga is a witch that eats children.” You were pretty sure that he was from Russia, judging by his accent.  Kurt wasn’t finished with his explanation, “She come at night and she steal them.  If she is hunting you, no lock or door will stop her.”
You raised your eyebrows even as a feeling of nostalgia bubbled up inside of you while you walked through the mansion, “You thought I was Baba Yaga because I appeared from nowhere in front of you right?”
“Da.” Kurt confirmed with a nod.  You reached the Professor’s office at the same time and Kurt gestured for you to walk through the doorway first.  You murmured a thank you and Kurt followed you.
As soon as you stepped into the office, Storm engulfed you in a hug.  “We saw what you did in Sokovia.”
“Magneto and Mystique even dropped by to see if you’d come back,” Logan grunted, “got the feeling they were impressed with you.”
You shifted uneasily at the mention of Magneto once Storm released you.  You had a nagging feeling that his visit was more to do with your guess about Wanda’s parentage than him dropping by because he was impressed with how you acted in Sokovia.
“Good to have you back (Name),” Jean greeted as she moved a chair over towards you.
“May I look inside your mind?” Professor Xavier inquired.
You had a feeling this was coming and you nodded as Jean moved to stand behind the Professor.  Despite your own nerves, you sent her a reassuring smile once you realised that she would be temporarily projecting your memories into the minds of everybody in the office.
As you exhaled, you felt the Professor’s presence in your mind and you focused on the memory of Ross introducing the Accords and the discussion afterwards.
“Whoa, that was definitely not what I expected,” Scott breathed after the Professor withdrew from your mind.
“Took the words right outta my mouth, One Eye,” Logan agreed.
Jean was visibly trembling and the room was starting to shudder as well.  You jumped out of the seat and got Scott’s attention with a quick gesture.  Thankfully, his mind was thinking alongside the same path that yours was and he guided Jean across the room and sat her down in the chair.
“Those that do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it,” the Professor quoted mournfully as Jean’s panic attack subsided.
“I couldn’t stay there and watch that kind of thing happen again,” you revealed, “and there’s also the slight problem of me being offered immunity when no other Avenger was offered that perk.”
“That worries me too,” Scott commented, “don’t take this the wrong way, (Name) but if I was the one handing out immunity for something like this, you wouldn’t be in my top three.  Maybe in the top ten but I would only offer you immunity if I had no other choice.”
“I get what you’re saying” you stated before turning to the Professor, “what do you think?  Do you agree with what Scott said?”
The Professor frowned thoughtfully, “I’m not sure that the Accords is the only thing going on here.  Years ago when Doctor Bruce Banner was working alongside General Ross, a monster called Abomination was created on the General’s watch which forced the General and Doctor Banner to temporarily team up.  As the Hulk, Doctor Banner fled after the battle but the General would have been subject to intense scrutiny as a result.”
“You think that someone with more power intervened in that situation and because of that Ross owed them a favour,” Logan suggested.
“I do.” Professor Xavier replied, “I think there are several layers to General Ross’ actions and reactions.  I also think that the offer of immunity to (Name) only is a smaller part of a bigger plan.  I don’t think that it was a coincidence that this offer of immunity was made at the same time that the Accords were introduced to them.  Whichever way I look at this issue, I come to the same conclusion.  The intent behind the Accords and the offer of immunity were meant to divide the Avengers.  When I think about it, the reasons behind offering (Name) immunity range from benevolent to vengeful.  Somehow, I don’t think the intent behind the offer was to harm (Name) but to harm the Avengers and ensure (Name)’s safety at the same time.”

Drawn Together 17
Tumblr media
Warnings: non/dubcon, obsession, intimidation, spanking, and other dark elements.
Character: Steve Rogers
Summary: You get a tattoo on an impulse to break your routine, but you walk away with something else as permanent as the ink.
My warnings are not exhaustive but be aware this is a dark fic and may include potentially triggering topics. Please use your common sense when consuming content. I am not responsible for your decisions.
As usual, I would appreciate any and all feedback. Thank you in advance for your comments and for reblogging.
Tumblr media
The night sees you in much the same trap as the one before. You’ve appeased Steve. For now. You know deep down, it won’t last. That it won’t be enough. Not in the end.
You sleep in the white satin he chose. He embraces you from behind, his hand cradles your chest as his breath whispers across your scalp. You’re suffocated by his warmth. You don’t move, the only time you’re truly alone is when he’s asleep.
You close your eyes to keep the tear from slipping past. You wiggle your nose as it tingles. The night breeze rustles the tree outside the window and carries the chirps of lively crickets. The song of the night is in disorder just as those that play in your head.
“Middle C,” the order comes and you set your hands just so. “Very good.” Professor Zemo praises as he flicks the metronome into a steady beat, “Begin.”
You hear the melody before your fingers pluck it out. It’s that magical sensation that overtakes you. The way your body moves naturally to create the music. As if it’s a part of you. You smile as you read the music, following along as the world pinpoints to the keys and nothing else.
“Posture,” Zemo squeezes your shoulder.
You fix your position and keep on, not missing a note. His hum underlines your symphony as you proudly play. He stays close by the bench, hand lingering on your sleeve, rubbing the fluttery fabric between his fingertips. You follow the highs and lows until you reach the end, hitting that final key with a flourish.
“You are improving,” he moves to stand behind you, close so that you feel the heat of him radiating around you. His other hand rests upon your second shoulder. “My dear, I must confess you are talented, if not the most talented student I’ve ever taught,” he bends and your skin pricks. What is he doing?
He presses his lips to your crown, “when you play,” he speaks into your hair, “you are the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen.”
His hands wander down your blouse and he hooks beneath your arms. Your hands tamp down on the keys in surprise, a clatter of ugly notes all at once. He cups your chest through the layers of frills. You don’t know what to do so you do nothing. What can you do? He is your professor.
He pinches a button between his fingers and slowly undoes it, then another, and another. You shiver as he opens the front of your blouse. He stands straight to guide your sleeves down your arms. He steps closer and something hard presses to your back. You put your chin down as your lip trembles.
Coward.
You squeak as your eyes snap open. There is no relief to be found in waking. It’s not a dream but a memory. You feel a squeeze on your chest and your heart leaps into your throat. That speckling flame razes up your neck and across your cheeks. A furor you cannot bear.
You tear Steve’s arm away and push yourself out of the bed. You fall onto the floor, crawling away desperately as panic thrums against your ribs. Your arms shake and you fight not to collapse into a heap.
“Sweetheart,” Steve groans, his deep tones laced with fatigue and confusion. “What’s going on?”
“Nothing,” you stop and turn over, sitting on your bottom, “I just have to pee.”
You don’t move though. You can’t. You sit against the footboard and smother your mouth to keep your shallow breaths quiet.
“Hurry back…” his voice drifts off to a snore.
You shake your head as your eyes sting. You haven’t cried about this in years, so why now? Why do the ghosts have to come back and haunt you?
🌹
A rush of cool air flows over you as the blankets are torn away. Your shallow sleep cracks as you mutter cluelessly and fall onto your back. You squeak as you find Steve staring down at you, a hand planted on the mattress as he leans on one arm. You squeeze your legs together and cross your arms.
He caresses your shoulder, toying with the nightgown’s strap, twisting it as his fingertips brush your skin. Little specks of heat linger as he follows the lacy trim along your chest. You hold in a breath quivering at the intensity of his gaze as it trails his touch.
He pulls your arm away from your chest and the other slips down limply to your side. You’re paralysed. You’re too afraid to resist him as you watch his eyes. They are dark and distant as if possessed.
“You’re so sweet,” he tugs down the soft satin cup. You whimper as he bares half your chest. He cups your tit, fondling you as he groans. His thumb rolls around your nipple and you shiver. “It’s okay, sweetheart, you’ve been good.”
He gropes you as he purrs and slides down the bed. He stretches his arm up and lifts himself to his knees. He forces your legs apart and settles between them. His other hand traces along your thigh as he lets out a deep breath.
He kneads your chest as he slowly bends. You’re terrified as his hand crawls beneath the hem of your nightie and inches it up. He spreads out on his stomach, keeping his arm snaked up your torso as he pulls your leg over his shoulder. He bows his head to nuzzle the front of your panties and you twitch.
He hums and squeezes your chest again. A warning. You grab onto his thick arm as he inhales you and presses his nose against the cotton. The vivid ink that stains his skin contrasts with your own. You grip him tighter as he hums, sending a ripple through you.
Your breath hitches as he wiggles his head against you. A damp heat permeates the front of your panties and he tickles you through the fabric with his tongue. His saliva soaks through as he pushes the cotton against your folds, suckling through the layer hungrily.
He traces his fingers down the crease of your leg and drags your panties to the side. His cool tongue meets your hot cunt and you gasp. His nails dig into your skin as he blindly gropes your chest, thumb catching on the slack satin.
You're helpless. Just like before. Too weak to fight. You just let it happen. You wince as the sheets brush against your bruises. What else can you do? He's not hurting you. Yet.
He laps between your folds as your legs quiver. You close your eyes as your grasp drifts down his arm, reaching weakly for his head. You feel completely exposed to him. You want him to stop but the flick of his tongue has you spasming. He swirls around your clit so that a pluck coils in your muscles.
You’re completely disarmed as spreads his tongue wide and tastes you. He slowly drags his tongue up and back down. Your thighs tingle as he seals his lips around your tender bud and the sudden pressure has you writhing. He groans as he uses the tip of his tongue to tease you.
Your back arches as you push your thigh against his head. His beard tickles you, another wave rolling through you. It’s too much and not enough. You want him desperately to stop yet fear that he will. 
You moan and sink your head back in the pillow. Your hips rock as he flutters his fingertips along your ass, adding to the storm of sensation. Shame bubbles with something else. Something hotter. Irresistible.
You cry out as you lose control. As you succumb to him. No, he’s conquered you. You surrender in a spasm of delight, mewling between heavy puffs as you clamp your thighs around his head and twist wildly.
He doesn’t stop. He drinks you in desperately as you cum. He keeps on until you can’t. Your legs splay and your arms fall down limply. You lay quaking and whimpering as he sucks and licks at your cunt. He does so noisily rubbing his beard against your sopping cunt until you whine.
“Please,” you squeal as you reach for him, lifting your head dizzily, “please… Steve…” His eyes flick up as he swipes his tongue around your clit, “sir… I can’t… I can’t take…”
You drop your head back down as your hips jerk. Your voice swells out of you, blooming into moans and drones. You feel it again, the tempo building and building, until you can’t stand it. Your nerves scatter again in a violent chorus that has you clawing at the sheets.
He does not relent. Even as you writhe, even as you push on his head and beg. Please, please, please.

Tumblr media
In the list of bad ideas your best friend compelled you into, only two ever worked out in your favour. 
One was sneaking into your first high school party, you’d had your first kiss. 
The second was when she pushed you onto the dance floor at the frat house’s halloween party and you bumped into the warlock.
“Woah, easy there.” He’d caught you with a charming grin and his blue eyes. Your lungs would not breathe till he would tell you too.
“Are you alright?” Those blue eyes to a once over, checking for any sign of injury.
“I’m—I’m so sorry, I lost my footing.” You look to the side to glare at your best friend but she is luckily not in your line of vision.
“Woah, doll, who is on the receiving end of that glare?” He wonders loudly over the music which somehow doesn’t bother you.
“My best friend pushed me.” You explain, sighing.
“We could work on a hex.” He offers, you let out a laugh, he’d interpreted your last minute outfit well enough, deep red turtle neck and skirt with a borrowed blonde wig.
“You’re the first person to know who am I.” You smile, he bows.
“The others are beneath our intellect. Do you want to move to the side?” 
You nod, his hand finds yours and the night floats away.
“James Barnes, warlock for tonight. What is your name Sabrina Spellman?” He offers his name and then you give him yours.
Conversation flows on, in the little nook of the house.
Movies, TV Shows, a heavy argument about Professor Snape and Dumbledore and then academic choices. 
Time went on numbers exchanged, as were memes.
Coffee tumblers refilled over hours every Wednesday.
Movie marathons, study dates, celebrating A pluses and even the occasional C minus.
Pranking his very unhygienic third roommate by placing cups of detergent all over his room and a few cups of water.
--------------------------------------------------
You had known his close friends called him Bucky, it was never defined across the months of your blooming friendship if you could call him that name.
Bucky wondered why you hadn’t yet, maybe you did not consider him as close as he presumed. He had no inclination to ask out of fear to ruin the friendship he found within you.
it changed one night, at three a.m. your phone vibrated near your head, you were still dressed in the day’s clothes. Work had been terrible, so you deserved a night off of regular activities.
Reaching for the angrily vibrating device your bleary vision widens, you pick up the call.
“James? Is everything okay?”
“Could I come over?” Is all he asked, sounding broken.
You answered with an instant yes, quickly changing into a jumper and a hoodie. waiting for him in the living room.
His knocks sounded hesitant, almost as if he were reconsidering his choices.
You’re greeted by a heartbreaking sight.
James Barnes, with his hair a tousled mess, eyes puffy and red. Your heart seizes with worry.
“Natalie and I broke it off. I well, Sam saw her out with Zemo. She did not even deny it. How could she do this to me, Firefly?” He even sounds broken, as your nickname falls from his lips.
He lets you pull him into your warm embrace, his arms wrapping around you, pulling your body close into his. He sighs deeply as he finds comfort. 
The tears do brim anew, his shoulders shake.
“Bucky,” You hesitate, a hand stroking the back of his head. You guide him to the couch, retrieving your stash of ice cream and running back to him.
He gives a half hearted smile seeing the flavour, a shared favourite. 
You give your own beaming grin of encouragement.
“Here is your mission choose you accept it.” You hand him a spoon. He chuckles slightly.
“To finish this entire pint of ice cream with me.” 
The ice cream doesn’t stand a chance.
--------------------------------------------------
Bucky has good days and bad ones for three months after the break up, the timing awful between midterms and assignments but they served distraction. 
To celebrate the end of the torturous examinations you both make your way around New York City. In search of 1 am pizza. 
“How are you?” You know it is a question she could dodge but the way he seemed to carry himself slowly coming into his own had given you hope. 
Bucky only stiffens for a moment at the question, progress you deem. 
“Honestly I feel it was a good thing.” He takes a bite; the cheese pulls and he grins in approval. You take a picture of him as he makes a silly face, both laughing now.
“I might not date for a while but I know I will eventually.” He informs of the decision.
“That is good.” You pat his back, taking your own bite as he in turn takes a picture of you pulling a silly face.
Slowly your phone memory is filled with several outings with your now extended group of friends, and several more with Bucky. He returns back to himself after a few months more, after a few okay-ish dates and he finds himself seeking your company.
He grabs a bouquet of your favourite flowers, his legs need no guidance to the familiar path of your home. Bucky stands near the entrance as the doorman, Percy smiles at him with kind eyes.
“She’s gone out.” Percy tells him, therefore Bucky waits, leaning against the wall phone in his hand scrolling through the fresh batch of micro sized comedy he could send to you.
Familiar sounding laughter pulls him in, your bright face greets his view, then your fingers curl around an arm. He follows the touching limbs to see the face of Rumlow. 
You seemed so radiant around the man. Bucky clutches the bouquet tighter as though in an attempt to ground himself or stop his heart from breaking before it could even be given to you. 
Rumlow turns you before you can leave his embrace to go to your apartment. Your laughter carries through to Bucky. He watches, lips pressed into a thin line.
Rumlow pulls you close, whispering something your ear, you bite your lip nodding. 
Bucky could hear his heart cracking over the noise around him, as your lips are upon that man’s own. He turns, walking away still clutching the bouquet. 
Bucky Barnes and you — best friends through college. Maybe that shouldn’t change. 
Bucky nods to himself, his feelings probably arose because of the time spent together and your friendship growing deeper. So he tucks this little crush upon you away, and decides that best friends is what you both are meant to be. 
--------------------------------------------------
Seven months after graduation, Natasha nurses your busted lip. Vodka on the table is also for drinking she tells you. It soothes the ache from your broken heart and lip. 
Your phone still unresponsive from the one person you need. How many texts does it take for a best friend to respond?
“I could call him.” Natasha offers as you shake your head. 
“I, my texts should be enough, I left him calls as well.” You explain, “Could, could you ask Steve where is he?” 
Natasha studies your face, she knows you’re hurt over Bucky not responding. Brock Rumlow was the furthest thing from your mind and heart.
“I will,” She promises and your phone rings, your best friend’s face flashing across the screen. 
You take the call knowing the odd time difference between the two of you had her more on edge. 
“Hey,” You greet. 
“Don’t hey me, did you report him?” She all but yells. 
“I don’t want to associate any further—,”
“Bullshit, you absolutely should report that piece of shit unless Barnes has murdered him already, so you cannot call the cops cause then he will be in jail.” She cuts you off. 
“I don’t think he knows yet.” You admit, Natasha looks at you, quietly speaking to Steve and updating him about what occurred. 
“What do you mean? Is he okay? Because Barnes would not let that asshat breathe. Hell I’m taking the next plane out of Melbourne.” Her nails on the keyboard resound.
“No, no, don’t! Just, okay, look Nat patched me up and she also said vodka’s good for the pain as well so I’m fine and he’s, he’s probably busy…” You defend Bucky, once again. 
“Babe, he has been busy awful lot since he started dating that bimbo bitch.” She clicks her tongue, annoyed at the man. 
“Look can we just, drop the whole thing, I, I think I need to sleep, and you need to get to work.” You remind her. 
“Just leave me messages through the day alright and no memes or links coherent language only.” She warns you. 
“Yes alright coherent language only.” You promise. 
Nat comes by with a plate of food, placing it in front with a fork. You stare at the pasta for a minute. 
“I called Steve, he got through, Bucky is out with her…” She trails off.
“Oh, did Steve say anything?” You hesitate to ask, Nat shakes her head. 
“He knows you wouldn’t like her to know so he just made sure Bucky would check his messages.” She gnaws at her bottom lip struggling to say something.
“What?” You look at her. 
“You should really report him, this wasn’t the first time was it?” She states you look down at your hands. 
“No.” You close your eyes at the admission.
“How long have you kept things from us? From Bucky?” She places a gentle hand over your forearm. 
“He, he was very particular, no where where anyone would know. Started two months ago. I tried breaking up after the first time but—,” Your vision blurs, the tears are harder to hold back. 
“Do you want me to take pictures? I know we can file a case, or at least a restraining order…” Natasha tries to coax you to listen to her but you just shake you head.
“I can’t I don’t want more trouble, Nat. It’s over he’s gone. The fight was more about him shifting to L.A. and me not wanting to follow.”
“Are you in love with him still?”
“I never was, I just, I thought I could learn to love him and then he just tried to beat it into me…” You shudder in remembrance. 
Natasha leaves the topic, knowing that it was difficult to walk away even let alone relive the ordeal. 
It is four days later at the scheduled game night that you see Bucky, you don’t greet him.
He furrows his brow when you move away from the living room to the bathroom before he can take a good look at you. 
“Where’s Rumlow?” He questions and the room turns silent. 
“Did you not see her messages?” Steve crosses his arms. 
“What messages?” Bucky retrieves his phone.  
“Barnes, when did you last speak to her?” Nat questions then scoffs as Sharon wraps her arm around his wrist pushing the phone down. 
“A few days ago, why?” He answers, running a hand along Sharon’s arm. 
“Bucky.” She pouts. 
“What is it baby?” He questions, being distracted from the conversation at hand by his girlfriend. 
“Bucky you should go speak to Y/N.” Steve adds with a bit more seriousness. 
“What happened, is she, is Firefly alright?” He looks up in worry.
“Ugh, she always wants your attention.” Sharon whispers loudly, “Does she not have her own boyfriend?” 
“Don’t you have better things to do than cling to Bucky’s arm? Or is your default personality trait whiny girlfriend only?” Natasha uses the same tone as Sharon. 
Sam covers up his laugh with a cough. 
“Bucky.” Sharon whines again then moves away to go to the balcony sniffling and tears welling up. 
“Crocodile tears.” Nat rolls her eyes. 
“Nat.” Bucky gives an exasperated look, chasing behind Sharon to mend things. 
“Steve, please let me punch him.” Nat pleads. 
“You know she doesn’t want us to tell him, how has he not responded after the texts? We all got them.” Steve sighs taking another sip of his beer. 
You return, wiping you eyes, for any stray tears or mascara. 
“Whats got her in pain now?” You ask, a look of disdain taking over. You try not to stretch your lip as the sting from the cut still presents itself. 
“Nat called her whiny.” Sam chuckles. 
“Nat…” You sigh. 
“What, it’s about time we call her out.” She shrugs. 
“How are you holding up?” Sam questions, eyes on your busted lip. 
“Eh, been better will be better soon I guess?” You shrug and wince as the pain in your shoulder blade presents itself. 
“And now she’s making a face at me!” Sharon accuses you and then goes back to the balcony. 
Bucky’s heavy sigh echoes through the room. 
“Firefly, can you not? I know you all don’t like her much but I do okay? Christ some best friend you are,” Bucky turns back to once again console his girlfriend running a hand through his hair in frustration. 
“Some best friend?” Your cold tone makes Bucky turn to face you, a quip ready on his exhausted tongue, he doesn’t get to speak because he finally takes in your appearance. 
The bags under your eyes, the redness housed within them, the busted lip you have and the slight wince as you take a deep breath. 
“I’m going to kill him.” Bucky connects the dots in his mind. 
“No need, these were days ago, I needed you and you were not there James.” You accuse, tears brimming once more. 
“I, Steve said to see my texts but I had none from you… Steve why did you not say anything?”
“You could have called me. You, I left you voicemails, crying sobbing, asking for you. For your help. You weren’t there. They didn’t say anything because I wanted to tell you but then again, your time and devotion is pre-booked. Let me know when a slot opens up, I can summarise the whole thing in two minutes, the least I can do as some best friend.” You sneer, walking towards the door in no mood to stay any longer. 
Bucky mechanically follows you, 
“Firefly, I—, I swear I don’t have any messages, I’m not lying!” 
“You could have called!” You accuse.
“I was out—,” Bucky tries to grasp your hand.
“Like I said, I know you’re too busy, for me.” You press the call button several times more waiting for the elevator to come up faster. 
“That is no excuse, I’m so sorry, I just, please stay, we can talk.” His hand reaches to grab your shoulder. A painful sound escapes you and you flinch away from him. 
“Where else did he hurt you?” Bucky’s tone holds no emotion, you look up at his face, the stoic expression masks his feelings but the anger in his blue eyes is reaching its summit. 
Your eyes shift to the elevator when it dings to signal the opening of the doors. 
“You aren’t leaving.” Bucky informs you. 
“I do not want to talk about this.” You tell him, feeling like your heart might break again.
“I do. I need to know what did he do, because he won’t be breathing after I’m done with him.” 
“It doesn’t work that way.” Your eyes shift to Sharon who rolls her eyes at you, then puts on a pout when Bucky turns to look at her. 
“Bucky,” “Not now Sharon.”
Bucky turns back, but you’re inside the elevator. He steps ahead to join you, the doors begin closing his fingertips just graze the border where the sensors would have the automatic doors reopen. 
He’s pulled back by his arm by Sharon, you look down. Heart breaking again, that you can’t even be prioritised by your best friend. He won’t even fight for you.
Bucky catches the quiet sob that escapes past your lips at wrapping itself around his heart squeezing upon it.  
“Do you have any semblance that someone else could have bigger problems that you?” Bucky looks at Sharon, taking his arm out of hers. 
“Baby,” She begins her fake tears again. 
“God, not with this again. Sharon, seriously please.” Bucky groans in frustration. 
“You want to spend all your time with that stupid bitch.” She complains as Bucky turns to press the elevators if he is fast enough he can catch up to you. 
“She’s my best friend. She needs me.” Bucky glares at Sharon. 
“No, she does not she managed to find help elsewhere four days ago, she just wants your attention.”
“What the fuck did you say?” Natasha verbalises the question brewing within Bucky. 
“I-, no I said nothing! Nothing!” The blonde stutters in defence. 
“Oh I’m going to smack this fucking bitch—,” Nat is pulled back by Steve. 
“Did you delete Firefly’s messages and voicemails?” Bucky’s voice is low and cold, almost similar to what yours was towards him. 
“I—, no,” Sharon gulps audibly, sweat breaking across her forehead.
“You have one more chance, did you fucking delete messages my best friend left for me, at a time she needed me?” Bucky’s hands form fists. Sharon had kept asking to take pictures on his phone, then sending herself the ones she liked thats when she must have deleted all of your communication to him. 
“Bucky, it’s always, Firefly this and Firefly that, what about me?” Sharon defends, trying to move close to Bucky. 
The elevator dings, opening on the floor. Bucky crosses the threshold. 
“I’m going to send the elevator back up, I want you out of my life. My house key can be dropped off here at Natasha’s, don’t you dare try to contact me or anyone. It is over.”
Sharon’s final plea falls on deaf ears as the doors are closed and Bucky lets out a heavy sigh. He brings out his phone trying to call you as he jogs through the crowd towards the nearest station, checking the watch he knows the next train leaves in ten minutes. 
Bucky calls out your name through the station, his breathing erratic. You have your hood up, not wanting to be spotted by him. 
You can hear his calls, the way your phone vibrates in your pocket a frantic echo of his own booming voice. 
“Firefly.” Bucky finally breathes, standing behind you. 
You say nothing as you turn to face him. 
“I’m sorry, I really am so sorry, it is no excuse she deleted the messages, fuck, I should have called. I should have been the one there. I’m your best friend. I should have caught on earlier.” He tenderly cups your face between his hands, guilt seeping into his bones. 
His thumbs wipe your tears, you don’t want to have a public meltdown. 
“Come on let’s get you home, I think we still have time to grab ice cream from Mrs. Lorena’s store.” His warm hands leave your face, but the warmth returns on your hands as he intertwines them with his, you want to cry all over again. 
Bucky takes charge of leading you through the night train, you both stand in favour of the elderly couple who need the seats. They look at the two of you warmly. 
You feel small, your hand never leaving his, he stays close with almost a protective stance over you. 
Bucky notes the change in your demeanour. How you’re hiding away, flinching at loud sounds. 
It eats at him how these small things had inculcated themselves into you the past months you were with Rumlow. He didn’t care about the consequences, he will beat the shit out of that fucker. 
Your mind races, back to the night you first went out with Rumlow. Somehow your mind kept comparing what he did to Bucky. As though your tall brunette best friend should be the standard of all men. 
--------------------------------------------------
You weren’t going to call Rumlow back, realising that maybe the reason you were comparing him to Bucky was because you were in love with your best friend, your Bucky. 
The conversation was going to be simple, carry a bouquet of his favourite flowers, a letter in your hand filled with your confession. Your nerves singed with each step towards his door. 
You rang the bell, once, twice; then you heard the laughter and kisses. Your heart sunk, you scrambled to hide at the other end of the hallway. 
Bucky came into view with Sharon, the business major. They make their way to his door, lips meeting ever so often, you feel each one deliver a crack to your heart.  
Maybe, maybe you were meant to be best friends only. The door closes and you can hear their sounds, you move past the corridor and exit the building. 
Nodding to yourself, Bucky Barnes and you best friends through college. 
--------------------------------------------------
“Firefly?” Bucky waves a hand in front of you, you blink, looking around. 
“Huh?” You speak before realising. 
“I asked where is your key ring?” Bucky looks at you in worry. 
“Oh um,” You fish around for the familiar keyring handing it to him.
Bucky opens the door at sets down the bag of groceries. How long did you space out for?
“So, here is your mission, should you choose to accept it,” He brings out your favourite ice cream tub from the bag.
Your face breaks out into a grin, a laugh finally reverberating in your chest rather than sobs. 
“Is it to eat this ice cream and talk to your idiot best friend.” Bucky holds up two spoons as an offer. 
You grab one, then grab the tub and make a run for the living room couch. 
“Oh no you don’t!” Bucky chases after you, you twist around the last minute your foot and his tangling with the fluffy carpet under the coffee table, you both land on the couch. 
Bucky is above you as your foreheads collide and the tub of ice cream rolls onto the floor. 
“Are you okay?” He questions, as you rub your forehead and his, the ache dies down slightly of the impact. 
“Sort of,” You wince, then look at him. 
The two of you lock gazes, heat blooms between you both. Red tinged cheeks. 
Bucky had wondered how it would be, to hold you this close. 
You had wondered how it would be, to have him in your arms.  
Both of you break out of your thoughts and scramble to sit up. Ankles still caught in the carpet, you both slide down the couch, ending with your straddling his hips. 
His hands move to your hips and yours wrap around his neck. 
Bucky feels your warm breath fan across his face, how is it you fit so well against him, as though you belong next to him. 
You feel his fingers gently squeeze your hips, how is it that your arms encircle him as though he belongs between them, next to you. 
You feel something poke your thigh. Bucky’s eyes widen. 
“Um, is is that…” 
“No um, no,” 
Bucky panics at your suggestion quickly moving you from his lap to beside him on the floor. 
The spoons clatter to the floor between his legs. 
The sigh that leaves from Bucky’s lips has you laugh, he joins in. Shoulders shaking and heads thrown back in mirth. 
Your head on his shoulder and his resting on of top yours. 
Laughter and giggles filling the apartment after months. 
--------------------------------------------------
It is another month later when you all are at your weekly game night at Bucky and Steve’s place. 
“Barnes, who are you taking to the wedding then?” Sam questions between shuffling the deck of Uno Cards. 
“What wedding?” You curiously look up Bucky sighs, shoulders deflating. 
“Maya is getting married, and insisted I bring someone along, and well they wanted to meet my girlfriend but I’ve broken up.” He explains, placing a chip in his mouth. 
“So just tell them?” You quirk an eyebrow. 
“You remember Maya right?” He looks at you with an incredulous gaze. 
“And Mr. Barnes here hasn’t told her, he’s broken up. Wanted to show off the whiney girl.” Sam announces. 
“Winnie Barnes would not approve.” Steve adds quietly and Bucky groans. 
Nat gives you a look before looking down into her phone. You blink a few times not understanding what that look meant. 
Your phone chimes, your eyebrows furrow at the message. 
Best Friend: go as his fake date to the wedding, his family adores you. 
Me: who even told you? 
Best Friend: not important. 
You look up with a glare at Natasha. 
Best Friend: don’t glare at her. She’s an innocent baby.
Me: I’m not doing the fake date thing. Not with Bucky, it will be hard. 
Best Friend: come on, he looks at you the same way. 
Me: he doesn’t. and also bye. i’m not having this conversation again. 
You place your phone back, looking up at the four of them staring at you. 
“What?” You question, picking up your seven cards. 
“Do you have any solution for Bucky?” Steve wonders, you look at Nat, she shrugs innocently. 
You narrow your eyes at her. 
“Let me think.” You bide your time. Bucky inhales deeply, seeing his own set of cards. 
Your phone chimes again, you control the groan that whats to leave you.
Best Friend: listen, just trust me okay? When have I said something that turned to shit? 
Me: its only twice your plans have not turned to shit.
Best Friend: ouch. this won’t turn to shit come on, help him out. I’ll ask Nat to let you win. 
Me: as if I need to be let to win.
Best Friend: she has 4 draw fours. 
Me: what the fuck?
You look up and Nat discreetly shows you proof. 
“Say the word and you get them.” Nat whispers. 
More encouragement comes through from your best friend. 
“What if, Bucky, you take a fake date…” You clear your throat. 
“Maya will catch on its a fake date and then it will be a mess, I just will fake a work thing.”
“What if I go? As your um fake date?” You offer, placing your cards face down near the space between you and Nat. 
“Are you sure? I mean they may believe it…” Bucky trails off in thought. 
“I mean, only if you’re comfortable… Just Maya will be upset if you don’t go at all and not having a date should not stop you—,”
“No, I think it should work, we know each other well enough to pretend to be in love.” Bucky grins. 
You try not to wince, “Yup, yeah, won’t be hard to pretend.” You agree. 
“Thank you, Firefly.” Bucky beams for the remainder of the game even as you beat his ass with your exchanged cards. 
--------------------------------------------------
BestFriend: so who wants to bet on they return as an official couple? I place a 100 bucks. 
Natasha: add my 100 to that
Sam: nah man they’re too scared to admit it. 
Steve: they won’t damage the friendship. 
Best Friend: Oh lil Samuel and lil Steve ya’ll better be ready to pay up. 
--------------------------------------------------
You grasp the handle of your suitcase a little tighter as Bucky’s car pulls around the corner. You walk closer to the edge where he could park for a few moments as you would load up your things. 
Bucky set the car into park stepping out and greeting you with a wide smile. You return the gesture, he envelopes you into one of his warm hugs. Easing your nerves. 
“Here give it to me and you can hang the dress near the suit.” Bucky takes your small suitcase and you open the backseat door his navy suit hanging from the hook, you place your own dress near it. Checking for any folds and then getting into the front seat with him. 
“So um,” He says after a few moments of silence. 
“Yeah?” You look at him, he seems nervous. 
“We need to get our stories straight…” He hints you nod.
“When did we start dating, first date, who asked who?” You list, he nods. 
“Guess watching those rom-coms proved to be useful.” He chuckles, you swat his arm lightly. 
“Okay so we sort of confessed a few months ago, but we were scared to ruin the friendship.” He offers, which in a sense was true for him, though he never confessed. Even though he had fallen for you. 
“Yes and we decided to date other people, but those didn’t work out so we decided to give it a shot cause the feelings never went away.” Which was true you think, at the back of your mind you were in love with him. 
“Okay, yes so we’re dating since a month and a half…” He offers, you hum in agreement. 
“Yep and first date…” you pause to think.
“Ice cream parlour.” He offers, you smile that was actually your first outing as friends. 
“Yeah, and you had the cherry stuck to your nose with whipped cream.” You begin to laugh. 
“Oh right miss, whipped cream moustache.” He gives you a look, chuckling as well. 
“Oh right, you looked like a clown.” You roll your eyes. 
“And you were my sidekick.” Bucky teases. 
“Alright, alright, and we both confessed, got each other flowers and stuff.” You admit, you had put the flower in resin. 
Bucky grips the wheel, he had gotten one flower’s petals from the bouquet preserved. 
“Yeah, that, that sounds romantic enough.” He clears his throat. The earlier tension seeping back into him, was this a mistake? What if he said something stupid. 
“Hey, um, Buck?” Your hand rests on his shoulder. 
He looks at you at the stop sign. 
“If, if at any point you feel the whole faking thing gets too much lets you know keep a safe word and we’ll you know revert to being best friends and try to exit that situation okay?” You offer. 
“You’re perfect you know? I was nervous what if it gets too much for either of us and this yeah the safe word is sensible.” He agrees. 
“So whats our safe word?” You question. 
“Draw-four.” His mouth twists as though he can taste the loss against your multiple draw fours that you saved just for him at the one on one game. 
You can’t help but laugh, “Okay, draw-four it is.” 
Bucky shakes his head, shifting the gear as the green light comes into view. 
“Also, Firefly, I want you to be comfortable I know what the fucker did might linger or come back at random moments, I know you’re doing well with therapy but if it gets too much or if anything triggers you, please tell me. I will get you out of that situation or help you as you need okay?” He says, you feel your chest constrict at the intensity of him caring about you.
“I will, Bucky, I promise.” You give his hand a squeeze oer the gearshift. 
--------------------------------------------------
The two hour journey to the venue has you both slightly tired, mostly hungry. The rehearsal dinner was the event you both had to dress up first for, as you both enter the venue. 
A squeal has you both turn. 
“Maya.” Bucky grins opening his arms for his cousin to come crashing into him. 
“I thought you were going to ditch my wedding.” She complains but then bounces excited, “Now introduce me to your date!” her eyes turn to you, widening. 
You offer a smile your congratulations to her caught in your throat as she screams excitedly once again. 
“Oh my god, I knew it! I knew this would be best friends to lovers! James you did good! Wait till I tell Aunt Winnie and Becca!” Maya cheers pulling you into a hug. You hug back and Bucky scratches the back of his neck giving you a nervous look. 
Maybe it would not be hard to convince them that you both were in love he thinks…. The only problem was how does he convince himself not to blabber to you. 
You feel Maya’s excitement seep into you as well when she pulls away, jumping slightly. 
“Congratulations!” You cheer. 
“Girl, you have to tell me how did you both realise.” She raises a finger up in warning. 
“I will, I will.” You give a promise to the bride. 
“What is all this commotion?” Winnie Barnes steps out of the room that Maya was in, her smile widening as she spots her son. 
You admire them as they hug after months of staying apart. 
Winnie pulls away from the hug, running a hand over Bucky’s hair and then cupping his jaw. 
“Ma, don’t cry you saw me yesterday on video-call.” Bucky wipes her tears. 
“Not the same,” She pats his head, placing a kiss on his forehead.
“I love you.” He engulfs her in a hug again. 
“I love you too, sunshine.” She smiles warmly. 
“Now where is this mystery date of yours, hiding things from your Ma,” She gives him a small glare, Bucky widens his eyes. He scrambles to turn and his hand is outstretched towards you, you intertwine your fingers with his, stepping next to him. 
“Bucky, you better not be lying.” She looks between the two of you, his grip tightens on your hand.
“We’re not, Mrs. Barnes—,”
“Sweetheart, Winnie for you always.” His mom corrects you, a warm smile. 
She cups your cheek as well. 
“So he finally came to his senses.” She teases. 
“We both did…” You add with a smile, looking up at Bucky, admiring him. 
Bucky looks down at you, your gazes transfixed upon each-other his blue eyes inviting. 
Bucky wants to be lost in your eyes, drowning in their deepness. Submerging himself in the affection that they currently hold for him. 
A flash has you both turn and shake your heads. 
“I need one for the album.” Maya reasons and Bucky sighs. 
“Send me a copy?” You offer trying to dissipate the tension. 
“Why don’t you both settle into your room? And no funny business.” Winnie warns, you both pale. 
“Ma, I would, no—,” Bucky stutters, a blush coating his cheeks. 
Winnie looks at you, before laughing. 
“He better be treating you right, sweetheart, if not just tell me. I’ll sort him out.” She gives him a warning look. 
Then Winnie cups your cheek, “I am so happy you’re with him.” She says earnest. 
Guilt gnaws at you, Winnie probably would be heartbroken if she knew you both were lying through your teeth. 
“Sir, Ma’am, your room is ready, we’ll have the luggage delivered to your room in the next ten minutes.” The receptionist hands you the keycards. 
“Well go freshen up I’ll see you both at seven-thirty for the rehearsal dinner.” 
With a final hug to Winnie and Maya both of you sauntered into your room. Bucky looks at the bed. The only bed. 
“Um, I’ll take the sofa.” He offers. 
“Bucky that sofa is not even going to fit your legs…” You inform him. 
“We’ll just make a wall of pillows?” You offer.
“Are you sure?” His mind wanders to the night you were in his arms, straddling his lap. 
He coughs to remind himself; not to let his mind wander astray. 
You nod, at what you don’t know, it’s not like you both haven’t cuddled or been in each other’s physical space before. Road trips you both pretty much sat next to each other fell asleep listening to songs so why was this different? 
“Is it cool if I shower first?” Bucky turns to the bathroom, “Oh fuck me.” He mutters. 
“What?” You follow his line of vision. 
What kind of hotel was this? 
The wall between the bathroom and bedroom wasn’t opaque it was a glass, a very transparent glass. The door was made on frosted glass, but again you would be able to understand what was going on. 
You gulp audibly. 
Bucky opens the door to check if there is a curtain or towel to cover the pane. 
The bathroom proves to be larger, inside, the toilet seat away from the view only the glass shower and bathtub can be perceived from the glass. 
You peek from the glass as Bucky rests his hands on his hips as he looks around for a solution. 
“Shower with swimsuits?” He offers an idea. 
“Bucky I didn’t carry one…” You scratch the back of your neck, suddenly everything feels incredibly warm.
“Underwear then…” 
“How about we just shower while the other one faces away? Or lays in bed…” you counter. 
It seems plausible, Bucky purses his lips, then nods. 
“So um, you lay down, stretch your feet out and I’ll um, shower first then I’ll lay down…” He runs a hand through his hair and then over his stubble. 
You nod, grabbing your phone and turning to the bed. 
Bucky grabs his toiletries and powers through going to the very open bathroom. Maybe the hot water will fog up the glass? 
You immediately text your best friend and Natasha about the one bed and very daunting bathroom situation but they just send stupid laughing emojis in response. 
You groan. 
Some friends they are, the shower runs and from your angle on the bed you can’t see a thing apart from the ceiling of the bathroom, you sigh. 
It would just be easier to admit to Bucky you have feelings for him. You can’t risk your friendship though. 
Bucky sighs in content as the droplets hit his skin. The warm water taking away the stress of the day and tenseness in his shoulders. He watches the rivulets trail from his body to the anti skid flooring. One hand on the wall. 
His mind briefly wonders what would it be like to have his ex here and then he dismisses the thought. Sharon and he were supposed to be a one off a distraction from his growing feelings for you. 
Then she got clingy, demanding every waking minute of his to be hers to fill with herself and her own needs and wants. 
Bucky sighs again, the suds of soap now turning clear. He grabs the towel, checking the glass sure enough it is fogged up by the heat. 
He puts on his boxers and jeans as he exits and your voice catches in your throat as a lone rivulet makes its was down his neck then chest then abdomen, ending just over the taut band of muscles and you feel as though the world is in slow motion. 
“Take a picture it will last longer.” Bucky teases bringing you out of your staring. 
“I h-hope you didn’t use up all t-the hot water.” You stutter get up grabbing your set of things from your bag. 
The outfit for tonight was a simple purple jumpsuit that brought out your curves, and chest. Long sleeves but very comfortable. 
Bucky lays down, texting Sam and Steve finally about what was happening. They both offered him advice on avoiding the shared bed but then the picture of the couch he sent had them agree with your pillow wall idea. 
As the shower runs he feels himself grow less confident in his plan to have you both pretending, he was so sure he’d slip up. 
When you exit Bucky’s lips part the deep purple of the jumpsuit bringing out the colour of your skin and eyes. The neckline of the outfit was probably his favourite, it was low, and accentuated your chest as the sleeves were the ones that had slits on them. 
It showed skin but in a way that was risqué but classy. 
The fabric hugged the curve of your hips and Bucky wanted to pull you close to him just so he could feel your warmth. 
“Take a picture it will last longer.” You tease him and he shakes his head, observing you do your make up. He’d seen it before the way your tongue would poke out in concentration as you picked which eyeshadow to use or if the colours were going well with what you were wearing. 
You turn to him once you’re done, 
“Can you see if these are even?” You sit next to him on the bed closing your eyes. 
Bucky’s eyes are on your lips and not eyelids. He traces their outline with his gaze, appearing so soft and so inviting. 
“Bucky? Is the eyeliner equal?” You open your eyes as he looks up at your confused expression. 
“Yes, um w-was just ma-making sure they were equal…” He stammers out quickly getting up and to further aid drying his hair. He was growing it out again. 
The two of you make it downstairs, Bucky’s arm slips around your waist before you enter. Pulling you close to his warmth. You smile up at him. 
“You look beautiful.” He admits looking down at you with a smile that sends flutters through your stomach. 
“You look quite handsome yourself.” You offer him an equally butterfly inducing smile. 
Bucky knows his heart will break this weekend but if he gets to pretend to be yours then its worth it. 
You look up at Bucky stealing a final glance before walking through the door. You suddenly realise that maybe, maybe basking in this pretend would at-least give you a taste of happiness, even if the magic would end come Monday morning. 
As the two of you find your seating next to Rebecca, who also is elated at you being the secret girlfriend. The dinner begins to go by without a hitch. 
Emotional words are said in the practice speeches and the love between Maya and her to be husband, Marcus; is felt through all the attendees, tying them all together. 
Bucky has his arm around the back of your chair, as you all wait for dessert. He doesn’t realise it when he begins to trace soft patters along your mid back. You lean into his comforting touch, allowing him to continue. 
When you look up at him, your breath hitches at how intently he looks at you. Those azure eyes taking in every bit of your own eyes. 
“Oh come on, just kiss already.” Rebecca’s voice stops the patterns being drawn upon you. 
“W-what?” You look at her in confusion. 
“You both look like you want to tear into each other.” She rolls her eyes, “Just kiss we’re all adults. Well except the kids table in the corner but,” Rebecca shrugs. 
Bucky leans in deciding to kiss your cheek just to shut his sister’s mouth. You then turn to face him just when his lips were to brush you cheek. 
His soft, slightly chapped lips brush over yours, his eyes widen for a moment. Then he closes them, his hand cups your jaw. You feel that damned fluttering feeling again, as you kiss him back. Your palm resting on his chest. His heart thundering wildly against his chest.  
The kiss lasts for a few moments, that feel as though time was slowed down, all too soon you pull away from him. Biting your own bottom lip and a deep blush creeping across your chest and neck. 
“What did you just start dating?” Rebecca comments, “That looked like a middle schooler’s kiss.” 
Bucky tries to make sense, you try to make sense as well. Because what the fuck, you both just kissed each other. 
“We aren’t into PDA.” You defend with a sip of your drink to soothe the nerves. 
Your hand rests on Bucky’s knee, a grounding action that the two of you needed. 
Back, in the room; he begins to undo his shirt, he’s halfway done when he pauses. 
“Firefly?” 
You turn to face him, the make up from your face gone. 
“Bucky?” 
“Was, was the kiss okay?” He fidgets with the cufflink as he undoes it. 
“I um, guess yeah? Why?” You bring your eyes back up to his, 
“No, no, um Rebecca’s comment just well, what if we don’t appear that comfortable?”
“Do we practice kissing?” You wonder, god just dig a six feet deep hole and bury yourself in it. 
“I, thats not, I’m not—,” He lets out a frustrated sigh, closing the space between you two. 
Your ears begin a ringing at the way his cologne floods your senses. 
Bucky’s warm hands cup your cheeks,
“I’m not, not trying to take advantage of this but um, maybe we could table kissing? Because I guess handholding and all of the other things we’ve done as, as best friends, so…”
“Yeah no um, yeah I get what you’re saying,” you agree. 
“No kissing then.”
“Nope, no kissing.” 
With the rule established you both wind down for the night the pillow wall is built and the covers are pulled over your frames. 
Exhaustion tugs at your body but sleep seems to be at its wits end not wanting to arrive to you. 
Bucky shifts around in bed, staring at the pillow wall. That should not have been the first kiss between the two of you. 
His mind is running a mile a minute, he wonders if you’ve fallen asleep. 
“Bucky, you awake?” Your soft whisper has him tug one pillow away. 
“Hey,” His soft smile greets you with his hair tousled and eyes craving sleep. 
“Hey,” you smile back, your eyes on the verge of sleep, a few strands of your hair curling around your forehead. 
“Can’t sleep?” He wonders and you nod. 
“You too?” You ask and he nods. 
“Do you want to talk till we fall asleep?” You offer as a plan. 
“Sounds like a plan.” Bucky’s heart feels warm. 
It is quiet for a moment before Bucky decides to tell you about his promotion at work. It’s hardly been time at the firm but they recognise his potential. 
You reach across the wall and hug him, Bucky grins and wraps his arms around you, relishing the moment. 
“Thats great! I’m so proud of you!” You cheer him on, he grins. You both slowly pull away from the hug. Returning to your respective sides. 
The conversation flows from there, about what his new responsibilities would be and how he would have to divide his time. Both sets of eyelids get heavy and Bucky dozes off mid conversation, you chuckle lightly. Brushing his hair back and then slumber find you as well. With your hand resting on his cheek.
--------------------------------------------------
It’s very warm for the cooler spring day that was predicted. 
Bucky is usually feeling like a furnace but today he is exceptionally warm as well. Not that he is complaining but something about the warmth is inviting. 
A soft whimper presents itself to Bucky and his eyes peel open. You’re pressed against flush him, his head was buried in the crook of your neck, an arm around your waist. Your arm resting above his own. 
“Firefly…” He tries to coax you out of slumber. 
“Five more minutes…” You mutter sleepily, shifting around till you face him and your head rests on his chest. How do you have a death grip on him to not let him escape he doesn’t understand. 
“Firefly… we gotta get to breakfast…” Bucky manages to free his hand and brushes his thumb over your cheek bone. 
Honestly he wouldn’t leave the bed if he woke up to you everyday. 
“Shhh, the dough is resting.” You grumble, shifting closer.
“The dough?” Bucky grins amused. 
“I’m the dough, must rest in the oven.” You complain again. 
“I thought you’re my Firefly.” Oh he’s going to ask you about this. 
“I can be two things.” You pull away looking at him. 
Bucky looks at you, waiting for the sleepiness to leave you. 
“Bucky?” You ask, then look down at your intertwined bodies, well you clinging onto him. 
“Firefly, good morning.” He chuckles and then you move away from him all too soon. 
“Why didn’t you wake me earlier?!” You sit up on your side, face hidden in your hands. 
“Because the dough needed to rest.” He says matter of factly
“What dough?” You question, then it hits you the drunken analogy you had come up with your best friend and Nat, 
“Oh that no, um, i’m, i’m going to the bathroom.” 
You grab your phone and things as quickly as possible, Bucky remains laying in bed you know he’s still laughing, the endearment is clear in his demeanour but you have half a mind you’re going to be called dough from now on till you spill the reason.
Me: i sleepily blabbed to him about resting the dough.
Best Friend: you know this is why I too up night classes here, to stay awake for the fresh batch of well rested dough stories. 
Nat: 🤣🤣 So how was the resting of the dough on the very hot oven?
Me: i hate you both. It was a drunken analogy about Bucky being warm.
Best Friend: that made you want to be dough resting in the oven. 
Nat: so when will you get to baking? Now that you have rested. 
Best Friend: oh I think very soon, Bucky’s probably stiffly up to the right temperature. 
Me: i will smack you both. stop it. 
You groan silently. Keeping your phone on the counter. Useless, your friends are useless comedians at your expense. 
Breakfast passes by in the hotel as an uneventful affair, Bucky and you decided that meal times without family intervention would be on best friend mode so the conversation was mutual topics and trying to see if you could squeeze in a marathon of harry potter movies to commemorate the time you did the same in college a year ago. 
The ceremony is at five which gives you a few hours to kill before absolutely needing to get ready. 
“Do you think we should ask your mum or Maya if she needs any help? It just feels weird being just a guest…” 
Bucky’s hair is falling upon his forehead when he looks up at you. Unthinkingly you reach over to help move it, and for a moment he wants to just have your fingertips run through his hair as he lays next to you. 
“I, yes, we should.” He wonders if you can hear his heart beating almost as if it will leap out of his chest. 
And you both find yourselves barely making it in time to get changed for the ceremony. Bucky takes over ironing duty since he knows your absolutely need to wash your hair before an event otherwise you don’t feel yourself. 
In the nick of time you make it, Bucky eternally grateful you had his cufflinks set up and he helps you zip up the dress. 
You both are panting by the time you reach the attached ballroom. With just two minutes till the bridal march. The wedding planner shoos you both off with a glare as if Bucky and you never helped set the decor because five people of her team fell ill. 
“Shouldn’t have fixed that centrepiece.” You grumble as Bucky snickers before you settle into the seats. 
“Firefly, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t have left it unfixed.” He whispers leaning in, 
“I would.” You whisper back. 
“You’re too nice.” 
“I’ll break it. Let the reception begin.” You warn him. 
He wraps his arm around your shoulder bringing you close. 
“I think the dough needs some rest.” He teases. 
“James.” You warn, the redness of your cheeks only urging him onward. 
“Sorry dough, won’t bother you.” Bucky says, giving you puppy eyes. 
“James—,” Your voice caught in your throat at his proximity. He licks his lips, eyes on your soft ones. You’re wearing that red lipstick from the brand you frequently stayed up at night to order from, and he could lie and say the shade does nothing for you because your lips seem so inviting the shade of red adding to your allure. 
If you ask him for his heart he’d give it to you right there, he’d get on his knees and beg you to have it. 
The bridal march breaks his reverie and both of you stand up with the crowd as Maya walks down the aisle with her father, looking every bit of an angel in her wedding gown. 
When you look at her fiancé, your heart lurches, he’s crying tears of joy watching her close the final bit of distance between them and their forever. 
As her father gives her hand in her to be husband, the intimate look of hidden smiles they share almost has you look away. 
Bucky watches the ceremony play out, Maya and Marcus have to say their vows now and he knows they were best friends before Maya admitted her feelings and they have been together four years before they got engaged. 
“I believe the couple have prepared their own vows.” The minister gestures and Marcus’  best man hands him his folded papers. 
“Maya, I met you in high school and you were instantly my best friend.” Marcus begins. 
“We made a list of promises of what we would do and a set of friendship rules, you may not remember but I still have those pieces of decorated cardboard.”
Maya laughs, recalling the memory. 
You look up at Bucky, recalling the moment from where you both turned into each other’s best friends. 
“The first time as best friends when we had an argument was over where would we go to for college, because in all honesty you and I can only function if we’re close enough to share our one braincell.”
Their entire bridal party laughs at the joke. 
You recall the time you were paired with him to play Charades and the two of you sucked so horribly that the entire group banned the game.
“That day I was so angry but when I went back home I saw those cardboards. I knew college could be done anywhere but my best friend? I couldn’t leave her. That is the best damn decision, I made, well that and proposing to you and today standing in front of you, vowing to be by your side, even when you hate me leaving my clothes scattered on the floor, loving you even when I may be annoyed at you for not being able to pick a place for dinner,” 
Maya lightly swats him, then wipes a tear. 
You stare at Bucky catching the smile on his face, you wonder what he thinks about, then you feel him about to look at you so you look ahead. 
“To cherish you even when things around us may push and shove us to not remember what we’re together for, to nourish and nurture our love, our life, 
to work on myself to be the best I can be for you. To support you in everything you need me to support you, to catch you if you stumble, to be held by you if I tumble. I vow to be your best friend, love and husband as long as time is ours.” Marcus gazes lovingly at his bride. 
Bucky tears his eyes away when he hears your sniffle. You wipe your tears with the back of your hand. His hand shifts to wipe your tears and to hold you closer. Press his lips to your temple in promise. 
“Marcus, how am I supposed to speak now?” Maya complains with a chuckle that masks a small sob. 
Her groom shrugs innocently making all the teary eyed faces laugh. 
“My Marcus, the day you entered my life, was the most ordinary day I thought but little did I know your doodle of a covalent bond in my notebook would be setting up the reaction for an extraordinary life ahead where I get to stand at the altar with you.” Maya looks up at him, Marcus smiles at her, eyes getting watery. 
“When I admitted my feelings to you, I was scared to lose you. So scared that I was going to hold my silence. Then you brought those damn sliders from the place we went to as best friends and I knew I had to tell you how much more love my heart held for you.”
Buck looks down at you, every memory with you playing in his mind, taking in Maya’s words and replacing them with moments he has with his Firefly. 
“I vow to not nag you for your clothes strewn across the floor.” 
Bucky adores you as you laugh. Then looks back at the bride and groom. 
“I vow to be brave when you need me to for myself and for you. I vow to let my fears show so you can be brave for me and yourself. I vow to cherish you for who you are and who you become. To nourish and nurture our love, our life. To work on myself for being the one you need through any stage of life we are at; to be your best friend, love and wife as long as time is ours.” 
You gaze up at Bucky when his hand moves in your periphery, you catch the redness of his cheeks, he cried as well. Your hands ache to offer comfort.
Bucky gazes at you, both of your visions blurry from the tears. 
“Beautiful words, now I ask you, Marcus Finnegan, do you take Maya Barnes as your lawfully wedded wife?” The minister questions Marcus.
He places the wedding band on her finger.
Bucky grasps your hand in his, fingers curling around the space between yours. You look from the half intertwined hands to Bucky questioningly.
He isn’t going to let you go, no. 
If he had gotten to you first that night, maybe if he was brave enough he could have prevented the heartbreak.
“Now I ask you, Maya Barnes, do you take Marcus Finnegan as your lawfully wedded husband?” The minister questions Maya.
She places the wedding band on his finger.
You curl your fingers around his hand, letting tears flow down your cheeks. You hope with all your heart you’re interpreting his gesture correctly. If only you had gotten to him first that night.
“I present to you family and friends, by the power vested in me, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes-Finnegan. You may now kiss the bride.” 
The cheers and clapping around the ballroom die down into a dull buzz, Bucky cups your cheek with his left hand, pulling your lips onto his own. The kiss filled with a longing and hunger that you both carried for months. Salt mixes with the taste of his lips. Fears slowly let gone off as you grasp his left hand that rests upon your cheek.
When the two of you pull away for air, hidden by everyone standing to keep clapping for the newly weds allowing you both to be tucked away in your little corner.
“Why didn’t we say anything?” Bucky laughs through the tears.
“I was scared to lose you.” You rest your forehead against his, Bucky wipes your tears as you wipe away his own.
“Firefly, I’m never letting you go. Should have walked upto you and that fucker.” He finally admits, confessing his entire plan to you.
“I kept thinking of doing the same when you were with her, showed up with your favourite flowers too. Have it preserved back home…” 
“I’ve kept it preserved too.” Bucky admits, joy ceases his heart at your elation.
Your lips meet again, this time with lesser longing than before but the need to have each other ever present. Bucky’s lips peppered kisses all over your face, drawing out laughter from you. 
Each mirthful moment tucked away for him to keep. 
Your head resting on his chest as his arms around your waist, the slow notes of the song cascade around the two of you, Bucky had you on the dance floor from the first song, dinner left for later. 
You tilt your head back looking up at him with so much adoration.
“Waited so long to have you look at me this way.” He admits.
“Always looked at you this way when you weren’t looking.” You confess.
“Never looking away from your gorgeous eyes, Firefly.” He promises, his lips ghost over yours, as you rise on your tip toes even with heels to kiss your Bucky.
He finally got to you. You finally got to him.

Zemo didn't get along with very many Avengers (or any of them at all, in fact), but you were different -- you treated him with kindness and humility.

Dear Professor Snape, we have accepted the fact that we had to sacrifice an entire Saturday in detention for whatever it was that we did wrong. What we did was wrong. But we think you're mad for telling us to write an essay explaining to you who you think we are. What do you care? You perceive us as the way you want to perceive us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a chosen one, and a criminal, yes? That's the way we saw each other at seven 'o clock this morning. We were brainwashed.

Syllabus and Tea
Helmut Zemo x Reader Imagine
{ Part of @dragon-kazansky’s 5K Followers Celebration }
Tumblr media Tumblr media
--
The only thing you despised about being an assistant professor was reviewing and updating your syllabus. However, it was always made better by the simple act of fellow professor Zemo. For a while, both of you were off-limits to the other, but as time went by and a friendship developed, so did feelings. With the start of a new semester quickly approaching, your syllabus and tea lunch meetings start running longer. It's not until Zemo properly asks you on a date that you realize that the suave European professor had been building up the courage to ask you out with every tea he brought you.

Hunting Roses - Chapter 2
Tumblr media
AN: This is a yandere Zemo fic. That means that it will have dark content. I do not endorse these relationships and behaviour in real life. This chapter contains spoilers for past Marvel movies, arguing, General Ross being an ass to everyone especially Wanda, mild coarse language, X men movie spoilers, and implied minor character death.
The atmosphere in the room was incredibly tense when General Ross introduced himself and stated the purpose for his presence, you couldn’t be the only one who noticed that Wanda seemed to be trying to make herself as small as possible.
Ross’ speech began as if he was complimenting the efforts of the Avengers over the past couple of years but something about his tone warned you that that would change very soon.  Unfortunately, you were right.  Ross spoke about the damage that the Avengers had caused in the past and how one hundred and seventeen governments across the world had agreed on the importance of the Avengers being regulated by the UN.  If an Avenger failed to comply with the Sokovian Accords, they would face legal repercussions.
Ross seemed to delight in emphasising the title of the Accords once he’d noticed Wanda’s reaction the first time.  Your control over your temper was already thin because the Accords sounded a whole lot like the Mutant Registration Act that had almost become law a few years ago.
When Rogue and Wolverine had been kidnapped from the train station by Magneto, Sabretooth, Mystique, and Toad, you had been in the car with the Professor and Jean.  Magneto’s warning about the dangers of the Mutant Registration Act stayed with you to this day.  You blinked and refocused on the meeting as Ross finally finished speaking.
“In my experience, I have found that the best way to encourage people to see your point of view is not by insulting them nor is it by pressing on a tender wound, General.”  Rhodey’s tone was courteous and his words were polite but everyone present in the room could hear the warning hidden in his words.
Knowing the type of person Rhodey was and how much the armed forces meant to him, you felt your respect for the man grow. 
“You are treading on very thin ice, Lieutenant Colonel,” Ross warned, “any further words from you or any other Avenger may be treated as insubordination.”
“And when exactly did the armed forces gain the right to enforce what points of view we can and cannot argue in the United States of America?”  Your tone wasn’t as nearly as pleasant as Rhodey’s was.
“In light of the contributions that you have made to the Avengers and SHIELD during your time with both organisations, you have been granted immunity.”
All the Avengers turned to face you and some of them had betrayed looks on their faces.  You didn’t blame them in the slightest.
“Hang on Ross,” you stood up straight, “there are people around this table who have prevented far worse tragedies than you or I could possibly imagine.  So why then am I being granted immunity?”
Ross placed the Accords on the table with a thud, “I’ll see myself out then, shall I?”
The question was clearly rhetorical and Ross left the room.
“Well that was a mess,” Sam spoke up, casting a weary glance at the large amount of bound papers that made up the Accords.
Wanda’s hands dropped to her lap and she focused on the table as discussion broke out about the necessity of the Accords.  Seeing Wanda’s lip trembling, you refrained from shouting at the other Avengers about how they were focusing on the wrong thing at the moment.  Instead you walked over to where she was seated and you pulled her into a hug.
Wanda clutched at you tightly as you held her as if you were the only thing anchoring her to the Earth in this moment.
“It’s all my fault,” Wanda’s voice was so faint that you needed to strain to hear it but once her words registered, you shook your head.
“No, it’s not Wanda,” you spoke reassuringly as her tears dampened your shirt, “truthfully, I’m surprised that something like this didn’t happen immediately after New York.”
“There were many politicians arguing for it then,” Tony responded, leaning back in his chair with a sigh, “Pepper fielded quite a few journalists who supported the initial idea and SHIELD fielded the rest.  There were of course other politicians against it and it appeared to be dropped and forgotten.  Whether that’s because the politicians were associated with SHIELD, HYDRA or they opposed it morally, I don’t care.  I care that it’s affecting us now.  The pool of politicians supporting us has decreased by a lot and even though they are thankful that we’ve saved family members and communities in the past, the ones that still support us are starting to agree with the necessity of the Accords.”
“What are your thoughts on this (Name)?” Clint asked as you released Wanda but stayed standing by her side.
You grimaced and shook your head, “The only way I could see something like this maybe working and it’s a big maybe is if we had liaison officers who worked with us and the UN but…” you trailed off and sighed, “even that idea isn’t fool proof.  Our liaisons could be biased or influenced against the people we’re trying to save and because they’re our liaisons, we can’t go to help those people.”
“Are you seriously suggesting that people in the UN are corrupt?” Rhodey scoffed, “You’re talking about the most powerful body on Earth.”
“SHIELD was once one of the most powerful intelligence agencies in the world and HYDRA managed to infiltrate them,” Sam reminded him.
“Plus, I can’t speak for everyone here but I think it’d be extremely arrogant to think that we’ve managed to catch all the HYDRA members, allies, and sympathisers in such a short time.  HYDRA was huge in the 40s and they’ve had half a century to learn from their mistakes and hide in plain sight.” Steve added. You shot both him and Sam a grateful smile.
“That’s the thing,” Tony rebutted, “this is about us learning from our mistakes.  We need to be put in check and who better to do that than the UN?”
“Exactly,” Rhodey agreed.
Sam rested his elbow on the table and gestured to you, “(Name)’s got a point.  People’s interpretations of the Accords could place us in danger and let’s not forget about the Mutant Registration Act that was almost passed a few years ago.  We have quite a few members on the team with powers,” you barely supressed your trembling as you realised where Sam was going with this “and it wouldn’t be much of a stretch for certain people to claim that they’re a danger to society.  It’s possible that the UN would act and demonstrate that they aren’t threats but there’d be people who would remain unconvinced and they could refuse assistance from those Avengers and then claim they didn’t do their job properly.  There’d be a public outcry to reinstate the Act and overwhelming support for it.”
Vision cleared his throat and looked up from the Accords.  You had been so occupied that you hadn’t noticed he was actually reading them, “Our very strength incites challenge.  Challenge incites conflict.  And conflict... breeds catastrophe.”
“Boom,” Rhodey agreed with a surly tone.
“Once I realised what my weapons were able do and actually doing, I shut down that side of the business and I minimised the catastrophe.”
“You chose to do that Tony,” Steve argued warily, “(Name) and Sam are right.  If we sign this, we risk not being able to help the people who really need it and we also risk being puppets.  We may not be perfect but the safest hands are our own.”
“You gotta make this hard, don’t you Rogers?” Tony blew out an exasperated breath, “If we don’t do this, it’ll be done to us later.  That’s a fact.  It won’t be pretty.”
Wanda heard Tony’s unspoken message, “You’re saying that they’ll still see me as responsible and they’ll come for me.”
“We’d protect you,” Vision swore.  You felt a stab of jealousy at his promise.  Why hadn’t he promised you that when he discovered the parallels between the Act and the Accords?
“Maybe Tony's right.  If we have one hand on the wheel, we can still steer.  If we take it off...” Nat mused.
You opened your mouth to reply but Sam beat you to it, “Aren't you the same woman who told the government to kiss her ass a few years ago?”
You snorted at the memory and Sam’s language as Steve’s phone vibrated on the table.  You knew that it was bad news the second he looked at it.  “I’ve got to go.”  He announced as he stood up and walked out of the room.
“I need to get some air,” you declared and left the room.  You were so distracted that you didn’t realise that you were outside the compound until you felt the wind whistling through your hair.  You hadn’t actually intended to go outside.
Your mind was whirring as you inhaled the fresh air.  No matter how you looked at it, you were in a dangerous situation and while Wanda may have Vision’s protection if things went south, you didn’t.  And while you knew that you could count on the Avengers for support, you knew that the bonds holding the team together had been fractured by Ross presenting the Accords and the following argument, which was probably still ongoing.  The way the situation seemed to be unfolding now, it was becoming increasingly clear that the Accords would be pitting your friends and teammates against each other and you had no desire to go down this path again.
Calling on your powers, you reappeared in your room in the compound and packed what you absolutely needed.  Taking one last glance around the room and feeling a deep sadness well up inside of you, you swung the backpack with your things over one shoulder and hoisted it so the strap rested comfortably on your shoulder.
You focused on your memory of the partially hidden back pathway of Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters and your powers responded to the image in your mind.  Had you left five seconds later, you would have seen an unfamiliar car travelling up the driveway that led to the compound, and perhaps if you had seen that car through the window, you would have met Helmut Zemo under very different circumstances.

Not His | Helmut Zemo x m!reader
Anonymous asked: Fuck, I love it when you get all possessive- zemo x male reader
summary: Zemo can't help himself when he sees you and Logan getting just a little bit too close for comfort.
tws: swearing, smoking, jealousy, possessiveness
Zemo didn't like it one bit. You and Logan, all cosy and close on the soft warm grass, whispering and laughing together and sharing cigarettes. He didn't like it one bit. He hated it, actually, as he needed everyone in the world to know that you were his, and only his. He hated the fact that Logan had an arm around your shoulders to keep you close and that he had given you his jacket to sit on so that you were a little bit more comfortable; you were Zemo's boyfriend, not Logan's, and fuck, if Zemo didn't nearly pick a fight with Logan right there and then.
He had been stood with Sam and Bucky as they talked to Professor X about something; Zemo stopped paying attention when he saw you with Logan, and hadn't paid any attention since. Sam seemed in a good mood. Bucky didn't. Zemo didn't pay much mind, his jaw clenching when Logan grinned at you like you meant everything in the world and then some, he clenched his fists as he stuffed them into his pockets; he wished that he had not been dragged along to this meeting, as if this is what you and Logan were like every time you got together, he wasn't sure if he could keep himself in check every time.
He waited though, he waited until Logan got up and left, presumably to get another packet of cigarettes, and then he finally made his move; he straddled your waist, pushing you down onto the grass as you grinned and tugged him closer.
"Zemo," you chuckled, leaning up just enough to rub the tip of your nose against his. "What's gotten into you?"
"You're mine," Zemo hissed, grabbing your wrists and pinning them above your head. "Not his. Mine. My boyfriend."
You bit at your lip, tugging at the soft flesh as you tilted your head to the side. "You're jealous? Of Logan?"
Zemo clenched his jaw, moving down just enough so that he could press a kiss to your neck, right where your pulse was. "Why wouldn't I be? I've seen the way he looks at you, how he smiles at you. It's like he doesn't even care that you're my boyfriend."
You couldn't help but to moan softly when he bit down on your skin, sucking it into his mouth and groaning softly. "Fuck... don't you think Sam and Bucky will need you with them?"
"I don't care," he growled, pulling away and laying his hand against your throat as he swallowed thickly. "Do you?"
"I won't if you choke me while you kiss me," you admitted, and when he started to squeeze your throat, you couldn't help but to grin.
Your smile didn't fade when he kissed you, such a harsh kiss that it made your head spin as you did your best not to get too excited, it was as if the entire world melted away, the only thing you cared about was needing him to keep kissing you like that and to keep that pressure on your throat; but when he pulled away, you couldn't help but to whimper softly, needing and wanting more.
"You are mine," Zemo snarled. "You're my boyfriend, Logan can fuck off."
You couldn't help but to laugh softly at how possessive he was being, at how fucking hot it was when he got like that; you weren't even trying to make him jealous, but you knew that you would now. "Fuck, I love it when you get all possessive and jealous... what are you gonna do when Logan gets back?"
"I'll show him that you're mine," he threatened. "If I have to."
"Fuck," you breathed out. "If you're not careful we're gonna have to go find somewhere private."
Zemo dared to laugh a little, shaking his head as he dared to move off of you, inviting you to sit on his lap with your side against his chest as he put one arm around your waist to keep you steady, the other on your thigh. His voice was little more than a growl as he dared to speak, "you behave, and I'll get my plane and we can do whatever you want."
You tried not to grin at such a bargain, nodding as you leaned into him, pressing your face into his neck as you closed your eyes and put your hand on his chest. "You know I'm all yours, though, right? Like, I'd never look twice at Logan - he's hot, sure, but he's my friend and that's the only way I'll ever love him."
"I know," he hummed. "But I can't help it."
"I don't want you to," you whispered, gently kissing his neck, right where his pulse was. "I like it when you're jealous and possessive."
if you liked this fic, REBLOG IT - you SHOULD reblog it.

IT IS COMPLETE!!! ✨
For years since my buddy @imalsonotsure/ @three-stacked-raccons was kind enough to draw this portrait of Academic!Zemo, inspired by the events of my fic from sokovia with love (specifically a scene in ch. 4), I’ve sworn that I would find all the pieces to get as close to fully replicating the outfit as I can on my chibi!Zemo doll:
Tumblr media
behold, the art in question!! ^ link to the original post here on Toni’s blog so it can receive the love it deserves
And at last, it’s finally come together!!
Tumblr media
it’s not completely detail accurate to the art’s colors, but I was so excited just to have the main pieces, I had to put it up! LOOK AT HIM IT’S SO CUTE 🥰 🖤💜🖤
Tumblr media
this is a small close-up shot, just because. he doesn’t have a bow tie in the original art or the fic, but it was so cute I couldn’t resist (and I’m sure, knowing Zemo, he’d be very tempted to throw it on just to complete his “who, me? I’m just a harmless little history professor 🥺” cover as they infiltrate the library).
this was a lot of fun to finally dress him up in, and it means a lot to me to finally get to pay tribute in a way to a piece of art that I’ve adored ever since it was posted 🖤 thank you again for your time and your talent, Toni! Love you, friend! 💖💖💖
as for me, expect more silly dress-up shenanigans, especially as we get closer to Halloween 🎃🦇 thanks for humoring me in the meantime 🖤

Zemo!!! ?? Zemo😏 ????? 😗OMGG I’ll tell you this was an unexpected plot twist, like Steve playing the piano! And the memory was so sad because Steve touching her is making her remember her professor. (But I hope Zemo makes more of an appearance and stirs up more chaos 😈). Omg and i wish I had what she had in the end of the chapter🫠! Overall thank you for the update on both stories, Roo! 😊
This gal can't catch a break but I'll also take an orgasm, pls. Thanks for reading.

Chapter Twenty: Time Will Be Immortalised
Eight Months Ago. 
They all stood at the foot of Thor’s grave. Nia placed a single flower near the headstone. Her hand pressed upon the apex, “God, Thor, did you have to be so horrible?” She grumbles. 
Loki stands solemnly between Bucky and Y/N. Her head resting against his arm and Bucky’s palm intertwined with his own. 
The vampire sighs, looking at the grave. Stephen and Emery stand a few feet behind Loki. Though he had an off feeling about the dead vampire, he had hoped this would not be the outcome. 
“He made bad choices.” Y/N reasons, Bucky wants to scoff. His displeasure at her words traverse across the steadily growing bond. Y/N’s gaze meets his blue eyes. 
“He didn’t take care of you as he had promised. Do not make excuses for his choice of actions.” Loki looks down at Y/N. 
“I—,” She begins but Bucky shakes his head. 
“Poetess, things would have been much different if he held focus upon you.” The warlock reasons. 
“He’s right, even if I did not know the truth of Loki leaving you. Thor did, I would have understood why he was being protective.” Nia stands, turning away from Thor’s grave. 
Y/N stays quiet, eyes lingering upon the headstone. 
‘Thor Odinson — brother, first love, and friend. Immortal in memory.’ 
Nia did not want to write soulmate, he didn’t deserve that title. 
“He did possess good qualities, it is a shame they were outshined by the bad.” Stephen adds, Nia joins them. 
“Any bars nearby?” She questions Loki, this was their hometown, built by them over years, most of the land owned by them. 
“In the town square there are five, Meade’s is decent, good hard liquor.” Loki chuckles as Nia grins. 
“Pretty good tab we’ll be stacking up.” Emery chuckles then looks at Y/N. 
“You okay?” They ask her, she nods in response. 
Having Emery know everything made their friendship even more strong. Y/N could tell them everything. They could ask the questions that Y/N could answer while still preserving her recovering mental health.
The bond thrums Y/N and Bucky eye Loki curiously. 
“You three go ahead, I want to take them to Mum’s resting place.” Loki gestures with his head towards the path which leads to the destination in mind.
“Very well.” Stephen intertwines his hand with Emery's, they blush. Y/N has a knowing smile upon her face. Stephen chuckles.
Emery meets her gaze, their happiness shining through the smile they harbour.
Nia checks her phone for messages from the law firm, nothing new, no fires to put out. She sighs, tucking the device back and following Stephen to the bar.
Loki, Bucky and Y/N remain back.
“I know I should have asked the two of you before—,”
“We’d like to meet her.” Y/N interrupts, quelling Loki’s nervousness.
Bucky smiles as well, “We would be honoured to meet the woman who raised our mate.” 
Loki smiles, leading them to the grave that has flowers bordering it.
“These were her favourite, we had a garden back home.” Loki touches the petals as the flowers sway in the wind. “Mother, this is Y/N and this is James, they both are my mates.”
Bucky and Y/N look at each other and then at the grave, then Loki,
“You have a wonderful son.”
“So full of love.”
Loki smiles hearing their words as he kneels placing his lips to the headstone.
“She is proud of you, you know?” Bucky adds with a smile. 
Loki nods, “I wish she could have met the two of you.”
“We wish we could have met her too.” Y/N places a palm on Loki’s shoulder. it trembles despite her best effort. 
She attempts to use the spell that would allow him to feel her embrace.
The spell spurs in and out, flickering like a broken lightbulb.
Bucky feels her frustration. Loki is about to tell Y/N that it is okay, she needs to rest. When his mother’s embrace takes over.
Y/N stares at Bucky’s warm hand placed upon her own. Eyes closed in concentration to stabilise her spell. She sighs, the inability to perform magick frustrating her to no beyond.
“Just a matter of time, you will get back to it.” Bucky whispers, peeking at her with one eye open, “Then we can have a magick battle to see who is the better spell caster.” He grins focusing back on the spell after her frown is turned into a smile.
“You both are not doing anything reckless.” Loki pipes up.
Y/N giggles, Bucky looks at her and winks, “Of course, we won’t.”
“I felt the wink, Warlock. Witchling, you better not be agreeing with him.” Loki mutters.
“Good, the bond works then.” Bucky laughs, drawing more laughter from their mate.
“Little troublemakers.” In a blur Loki has the two of them flush against him in his arms, lips brushing over their foreheads.

Seven Weeks Ago.
Y/N had avoided speaking to her quote unquote mother for as long as she could. Clark and Miles suggested she get it over with, but Sierra surprisingly told her to take her time. The moon ruled over them, as Celestials there was a bond of a higher calibre. 
Y/N purses her lips, as she trudges to Clark, moving away from where Bucky and Miles were discussing types of divination. 
“Keeping secrets?” Clark chuckles, gesturing for her to sit, she shakes her head.
“What do you know about power transferring? I read in one of the books that we can store powers in inanimate objects or other…. beings.” She keeps her gaze steady.
“Who do you want to transfer your powers to?” He places the book on the side table.  
“I’m not sure if I want to but I’d like the option open.” Y/N admits, fingers drumming against her thighs. The thoughts she was having, the aversion to magick that suddenly was thrust upon her only to take Alexander down.
It felt alien to her. Not a part of herself as it should feel. 
“Transferring is no easy feat, razor sharp focus and the person should accept your powers before the spell.” Clark writes upon a piece of paper, handing it to Y/N.
“This book is in the library, you can take it. I hope you think it through before giving away your abilities.” He regards her, knowing he was hard upon her.
“It doesn’t feel as though it is my own.” She admits out loud for the first time. Fingers run over the written words upon the paper. She sighs.
“You can work on it, as part of the coven–,”
“Am I part of it? I didn’t have a traditional initiation, I just practised and learned to protect. I know you’d save them over me.” Her words silence the High Priest.
“I will admit your journey has not been the easiest.” Clark wonders what words are correct, soothing in this situation. It doesn’t come easily to him.
“It hasn’t.” Y/N agrees, biting down on her bottom lip to stop the tears. 
Weak. The word rings across her mind.
“Giving up isn’t the way.” He advises, reaching out to place a comforting palm over her forearm.
“I’m not giving up Clark, I just, I feel disconnected. I went through so much with everything. I don’t belong in this world in this way. I can’t push myself to work with something that doesn’t seem to want me.” Y/N looks up at him, hoping he understands. 
Clark nods, “If you want to practise or have questions let me know. Learn to cloak the object you do pick. If it is another witch or warlock I suggest speaking to them first about it.” 
“Thank you.” 
Tumblr media
Bucky’s leg bounces as he watches Y/N approach the dinner table. Loki places a gentle hand on his knee. Reassuring him silently. Two weeks after the meeting with the Celestials and things were going well for the three of them. Date nights, days, falling further in love. Exploring aspects of their bonds one on one and together. 
Things were looking further upwards and onwards for all of them. Y/N and Bucky both recovering from the traumas of the past year. Healing. 
The bonds no longer looked decaying and broken but now gleamed gold, fragments repaired. 
“You’re not going to hurt her by your decision.” Loki assures yet again, the sinking feeling Bucky has quells in the slightest when he feels the love rush across the bond. 
Y/N grins at the two, her loves, her mates. 
Recovery wasn’t an easy road in the slightest but things seemed better, felt better. She takes her place at the table. The mahogany is covered with different dishes for dinner. 
Impeccably plated and micro greens used for garnishing. 
Loki cooked, she deemed then her brows furrowed. It was Bucky’s turn to cook today, she looks up at the warlock who regards her and allows his own unease to trickle past his carefully guarded walls. 
“You can tell me… what happened?” Y/N reaches towards him, Bucky’s fingers intertwine with her own. Giving a squeeze he grounds himself. 
She had her own decision to share, but what had Bucky worried would take priority. 
Loki grasps Bucky’s other hand, “Whenever you’re comfortable.” 
Y/N squeezes Bucky’s hand, he nods. Pursing his lips and then closing his eyes. She gazes upon Loki; he offers a smile that is assuring but she notes the hint of his own anxiousness. 
“Whatever it is we’ll get through it okay? We’ve been doing so well since everything went down months ago, even the pending conversation with Moonmy.” Y/N recounts, attempting to ease their worries. 
“I have decided that I want to turn. I’m close enough to Loki’s apparent age and I think it is time.” Bucky’s words are met with happiness from his bond with Loki. The vampire is smiling at his mate.
“Oh.” The word leaves past her lips with such heartbreak her mates both lose their smiles.
“Are-are you not happy?” Bucky begins to pull his hand away from her own.
Y/N tightens her grip on his hand, “Bucky, I am happy, I just, I wanted to discuss something with you and based on your decision I don’t think what I had in mind will work out. I’m happy for you, I’m glad you’re taking this step and Loki and I both are here for you during your transition and after it.”
“What did you want to discuss?” Bucky counters, not allowing her to be dismissive. 
“It’s nothing, I–,”
“Witchling.” Loki shakes his head, “You need to share whatever it is that is bothering you, with us.”
“Exactly, Poetess. How are we to provide you with the tools necessary or be there for you in the way you need us to be there if you don’t tell us?” Bucky unlaces their intertwined fingers cupping her cheek. 
The book and her notes weigh heavy on her chest. 
Loki and Bucky exchange a glance then gaze back at their mate. Observing her internal turmoil. Watching her swallow before gesturing with her index finger for them to wait. She heads upstairs.
Loki follows her footsteps with his hearing, “Her reading room.” He watches Bucky’s brows furrow attempting to decipher what was there that had a profound impact.
“She has been in there quite a lot, I deemed it was for her return to her course.” The warlock reasons. 
Y/N returns, a thick book and notes in hand, post-its sticking out of several places and handwriting strewn across the pages haphazardly. Loki denotes the different coloured pens adding to the notes.
“I um, I was reading up on how to transfer powers.” Y/N begins placing the books and notes in front of the two. Bucky takes her notes and Loki opens the book to the first sticky tab annotation. 
“Transferring powers is not uncommon, but you will require training.” Bucky assures, “I think you will be able to do it.”
“I, um, yes, yeah, practice is required but it’s straight forward.” Y/N agrees, her fingers intertwine as she fidgets nervously. Shifting her weight from one foot to the other.
Bucky hums as he reads over her notes, “This is good extensive research. I’m pleased and an object that can be kept safe so that no one may steal and–, oh.”
Loki’s gaze moves from the book to the page Bucky is reading. 
‘While transferring powers to inanimate objects is the far more common and reversible practice it is not lost that a witch or warlock can provide another living being – either animal or human with their powers, provided permission is sought and the recipient of the powers is willing.’ 
‘Supernatural beings such as witches, warlocks, werewolves and vampires may be considered as recipients; this practice is lesser known and explored. It is deemed, however, to be an irreversible spell.’
Bucky’s azure eyes find Y/N’s nervous gaze. Loki gazes upon her as well. 
“Why?” The two of them ask her together. 
“I don’t feel connected to my powers… I know I did the magick when it was required but,” she looks to her warlock, “You had your initiation, a coven that cherished you as their own and not a pawn that was needed to fight battles and only trained in a manner of dire circumstance.” 
“You’ve been doing well, gaining control.” Loki counters, he feels her heartbreak before she vocalises it. Bucky winces, this wasn’t the reaction she expected or hoped for from them.
“It doesn’t matter if I’m getting better… I just, I appreciate the powers, I appreciate what flows through my veins but it’s second nature or rather basic instinct for all the other warlocks and witches I know. For me it's…” She takes a deep breath. 
“Does it feel as if it's more of a burden to you?” Bucky offers, his heart cracking as she nods. His Poetess’ entire demeanour feeling as if she’s admitting defeat. 
“Did you want to transfer your powers to an object?” Loki shifts the focus, they needed to know what she was thinking and how to get through this together. 
Y/N says nothing just swallows the lump forming in her throat, her eyes flashing towards Bucky and then back to her fidgeting hands. 
Bucky looks at Loki, the two gaze down at her notes. Finding the small scribble at the corner.
‘Ask Bucky… if he says no then consider Midnight’s old collar.’
“Did you want me to be the one to receive your powers?” Bucky questions, thumb brushing over her handwriting on the paper. She doesn’t answer. 
“Witchling…” Loki’s voice is pleading; making her look at him.
“Okay, you know what? We’re going to the living room to discuss this, this isn’t a conversation where you need to feel small or thinking you’re asking something you aren’t supposed to,” Bucky tucks the notes back in the book. He then walks towards his mate, gently taking her hand and guiding her to the couch. The three spent the most time either reading, talking or binge watching shows and movies. 
Y/N easily falls into place across Bucky’s lap, Loki follows suit settling next to them, his hand holding hers, kissing her palm. Bucky allows Y/N to nuzzle against the crook of his neck grounding herself before they continue the conversation. 
“You don’t have to be afraid alright?” Loki assures, “No matter what choice Bucky makes, his feelings towards you won’t change nor will he feel forced to choose for you.”
Bucky feels her nod, his palm rubs up and down her back soothing her. 
Loki presses a soft kiss to Bucky’s temple, “You do know you won’t be forced to choose.” 
“I know, I want to hear our mate out completely and help her research further before taking an informed decision together.” 
Y/N takes a few more grounding breaths, lifting her head from Bucky’s neck and she faces the two of them. Her explanation falls from her lips the feeling of disconnect, the way it doesn’t feel nurturing. As though it was a chore to teach her rather than a tradition of passing down knowledge. 
Bucky understands every word, knowing what it is to have a coven that nurtures their baby witches and warlocks rather than just prepping them for battle as if a lamb to slaughter. 
Loki understands nodding along to everything, a worried pit forming in his stomach at the prospect of her regretting the decision. 
“It’s okay if you say no…” She shrugs, “I just, I think I was supposed to be normal?” Once she’s done she looks at both waiting for a response. 
“You’re anything but ordinary, witchling.” Loki kisses her nose making her giggle. 
“Look, I’m not saying no, but I did consider the fact that I would lose my powers when I turned.” Bucky begins, “It’s not to say that I don’t mind losing them, but my powers are another thing that connects me to my coven and Grandmother. I know I would probably have some other kind of ability in place if it is part of my transition but I doubt it.”
“Celestials are known to retain their abilities after the shift.” Loki adds.
“I could transfer my powers to an inanimate object,” Bucky looks at Y/N, “It humanises me, then you could well transfer your powers to me.” 
Her features light up.
“Provided the two of you research this in depth and are equally prepared.” Loki adds, “Also if her transfer doesn’t work can you reabsorb your powers from the inanimate object?” 
“I will be able to, it’s reversible.” Bucky assures, tucking a stray strand of hair behind Loki’s ear. Then brushes his lips against Y/N’s cheek. 
“Will you be telling Moonmy?” Bucky raises a brow. 
“I guess she already knows…” Y/N shrugs, “It doesn’t matter if she says no, either way I want to do it.”
“If you had undergone a better time as part of the coven would you still feel the same way?” Bucky questions her, Y/N ponders over it, replaying all the interactions she saw between the other members and the stories Bucky told her.
“I wouldn’t feel disconnected if I had that kind of witchy upbringing.” Y/N admits.
“Okay.” Bucky nods.
“Dinner then research?” Loki offers, his mates both nod.
Tumblr media
Present.
“Professor?” One of Loki’s students cuts through his thoughts of the past five weeks. He refocuses into the present, plastering on a smile for the student. 
Questions answered for his students yet Loki’s own worried curiosity knows no bounds. He retires to his office, heading straight for the alcohol. 
“Pour me a glass.” Bucky’s whisper travels across the floor to Loki. He places another glass filling it with the amber liquid. 
The vampire waits for his warlock to join in, Bucky opens the door, closing it softly. In a few strides he’s pressed up against Loki. Wrapped in each other’s arms. Their mutual worry over their mate quelling in the slightest. 
“It will be alright.” Bucky whispers, “It has to be.” 
“It will be my warlock.” Loki runs his fingers through Bucky’s hair, he sighs leaning for more support onto his mate. 
Grasping onto his blazer lapels, blue eyes meet green ones. Loki leans in, his lips meet Bucky’s own. The soft gesture is comforting enough to quell the growing anxiety. 
They part when their phones vibrate and chime in unison. 
The dates had aligned; it was the phase of the lunar cycle when Bucky would be completing his conversion. It was also the night they would be transferring the powers before Loki would complete the process and turn Bucky into his own kind. 
Bucky’s nerves were shot but in a good way. Excitement of being the same creature as his mate, having the chance to deepen the bond he shared with Y/N. There was a part of him that was melancholic over the loss of his original powers. 
The blue markings on his left arm glow in response to his call. He traces the lines with his eyes. 
Loki gently raises Bucky’s palm to his lips, tracing the lines to his elbow. 
“Loki.” Bucky whispers, red rims surround his vampire’s eyes, “Loki.” he says yet again with need.
Loki pulls Bucky closer, nose tracing the juncture of his chest and neck, “You smell divine, our mates blood mixed with yours and mine.” open mouthed kisses have Bucky whimper. His shirt unbuttoned, Loki sinks to his knees. Undoing the jeans, Bucky hisses as the confines upon him are released. 
Loki brushes his lips over the tip, Bucky’s fingers tangle in his hair. 
“Mate, you’ve come at the right time.” Loki speaks, Bucky’s eyes snap open and towards the door.
“I,” Y/N’s hand is frozen on the door knob, arousal brims through the two bonds
“Poetess I-,” Bucky’s words are cut off as Loki takes his length in his mouth, cheeks hollowed, a wicked gleam in his eyes.
‘Get inside.’ Loki’s voice instructs in her mind. 
Y/N scrambles inside, locking the door. She moans at the sight of her mates. Bucky beckons her closer. His lips meeting hers in a bruising kiss, teeth and tongue and moans as Loki continues his movements, varying speeds enjoying the sounds he draws from Bucky.
The scent of Y/N’s arousal urges Loki on, one hand caresses Bucky’s balls. The other moves along her inner thigh, the skirt allowing him leverage. Her soaked panties have him moan around Bucky. 
The three moan in unison. 
Loki’s thumb draws circles over her clit, the fabric adding another layer of sensations that have her whimper into Bucky’s mouth. Bucky’s arm wraps around her waist, holding her flush against him. 
Their sounds grow needier, Loki times his head bobbing to the thrusts his fingers provide to Y/N. His sweet mates unravelled for him. Bucky tugs on his hair. 
Y/N moves as Bucky lifts her in his arms, facing Loki. Her dripping cunt soaking his cock her legs thrown over Loki’s shoulders. His fingers now move on her clit.
Loki takes Bucky back in his mouth, their mixed arousal only urging him onward.
She falls apart first with a cry, her head thrown back against Bucky’s left shoulder. Bucky places kisses over her neck as he moans against her sweet spot as he cums. Loki swallows every drop they give him.
Slowly the two humans calm down, Loki kisses them deeply each stated to an extent.
“What brought you to my office?” Loki questions his witchling.
“I um, forgot…” Y/N’s cheeks flush, drawing laughter from Bucky. 
“Perhaps another set of orgasms might jog your memory.” Loki offers, Y/N squeals before she’s placed on his desk. Bucky and Loki both gaze at her glistening folds. 
“We’re the luckiest aren’t we Loki?” Bucky’s large palm traces up her thigh, spreading her legs further apart.
“We are.” Loki agrees, “Have your fill my Warlock. I’ll have her moan around my cock.” 
Y/N clenches around nothing, preening under their intense gazes, words having her grow wetter. 
Bucky takes a seat on Loki’s chair, lips tracing her folds as his lips then latch upon her clit. Loki traces her parted lips with his cock before slowly sinking into her beautiful mouth. 
<><><>
Everything was set up, candles arranged in the shape of a crescent. Y/N sitting at the centre of it. Bucky’s jaw clenched as the air became heavier around them. 
Iridescent glimmers shift through, candle light adding to the glow. Embers casting shadows across their features and the walls. 
Loki attempts to quell the growing unease across the bonds. Disallowing his trepidation to trickle to his already worried mates. 
Y/N bit her bottom lip, eyes meeting his then drifting to Bucky. The warlock gives an encouraging nod. His spell was done, he was left without powers, they were encased into a necklace he had bought for Y/N.
She blinks, the white glow returns. Loki swallows, shifting towards Bucky. The warlock grabs his hand. Then let it go.
It was time. 
The charged air seems to move. Loki watches, the flames of the candles shift into circles. Burning full moons. 
Bucky swallows, feeling the first of the powers wrapping around him. His eyes close. 
The charged air recedes into nothing, the flames return to their normal shape. Y/N’s eyes open first, no glow present. Her eyes move to Bucky. Loki waits, their breaths held.
Bucky falls to his knees, wheezing and then his eyes open. White crescents visualise across his irises and then fade back to blue. 
‘She may have given you her powers, but they do not make you a celestial.’ The voice rings across the room. The necklace shatters into pieces and blue lines form along the broken fragments. They move towards Bucky wrapping around his left arm. 
The moon gave him back the markings of his old coven. The three of them stare at one another for long moments.
Loki and Y/N move then, helping Bucky up. The warlock only stares at his arm, the lines do not fade as they used to but now remain as a constant as though a glowing tattoo. 
Her hand reaches to touch the line, she had done it before, but this time she feels nothing. 
No flow of magick. Nothing weighing down upon her, making her struggle to stay afloat. A responsibility she wasn’t encouraged or nurtured to bear.
No sense of connection to Bucky and Loki beyond the soul bonds.
The way it should have been. The way it felt before her awakening as though there was something between them but now it was more, deeper and defined.
“Hey, hey, hey.” Bucky gently grasps her face, wiping her tears away with his thumbs.
“I don’t regret it. I just, it feels peaceful?” Y/N looks up at him, he nods.
“I just feel my magick, not the Celestial one.” Bucky admits his own eyes glazing over with tears, “Even if I don’t retain it when I turn it's okay.”
Loki pulls the two of them into his embrace. 
Kissing every bit of their faces, taking away the tears that flow. Salt on his lips, his mates cradled in his arms. 
Nia, Stephen and Emery join them hours later. In the last of the night, Bucky consumes the last vial of Loki’s blood mixed with Y/N’s. The taste wasn’t blood-like, the bit of ironish rust taste one would get when trying to curb the bleed of a paper cut.
“This next part may hurt.” Loki says, setting the glass down.
“It definitely will hurt.” Stephen pipes up.
“Does it have to be this way?” Emery questions, their own transformation pending. 
Stephen reaches out to them, gently stroking their arm to soothe them.
“It has to be a sort of clean death. Not to say other forms of killing don’t work. They do but this is swifter.” Nia explains nursing another glass of alcohol. Y/N looks at her in worry. 
“Nia…”
“Doesn’t affect me. Perks can’t get drunk.”
“Nia.. still.”
“Drop it, your boyfriend’s about to turn into a vampire. We’ll discuss this later.” Yet again Nia tables the discussion.
The loss of Thor doesn’t hurt as much. It’s the betrayal, Nia missing the signs. Signs she was fucking good at noticing.
“Just do it.” Bucky exhales, eyes meeting Y/N’s worried ones, “Just a nap, Poetess.” 
“Just a nap.” She affirms, walking back to him. 
“It’s going to hurt like a bitch.” Nia reminds Y/N, she nods.
“My blood runs through him, so I know he will awaken, I’ll be there to hold you through it. Unfortunately you know the experience of the breaking of a bond.” Loki strokes her cheek, “I’ll keep the bond fully open so it may help quell the despair.”
“Or you end up feeling mine.” She mutters.
Bucky laughs, “Look, he fully deserves to feel it.”
“Bucky!” Y/N lightly hits his chest.
“Rude.” Loki rolls his eyes but he smiles at the banter.
“Hey you were the one deciding for us before. This is just karma.” 
Y/N laughs at Bucky’s retort, Loki grumbles under his breath.
“Alright, alright, it’s a bit of time away from Bucky.” Stephen assures, pointing at the clock.
Loki grapes Bucky’s face gently, palms moving to his jaw. 
“I trust you.” Bucky assures, “I love you both.” He looks between his two mates, smiling.
“I love you.”
“I love you, thank you, for trusting me.” Loki places a kiss on his forehead.
Y/N and Emery close their eyes. The cracking sound has them flinch. 
At first Y/N feels nothing and then the bond rips apart, her chest heaves. Loki grasps onto her pulling her against him where the two remain near Bucky. He opens the bond he shares with Bucky to the bond he shares with her. 
The certainty of his soon to return to life status begins to wash over the turmoil in Y/N’s chest. Her sobs begin to quiet and tiredness takes over. Loki rocks her back and forth, her hand not leaving Bucky’s own. 
Sleep finds her after an hour still not letting go of Bucky. Loki feels the vampire aspect take over Bucky stronger, the warlock markings begin to gleam and change. The parallel lines once linear now wrap around his arm.
Y/N is placed in the farthest room as it gets closer to Bucky’s awakening. Nia and Loki remain in the house to prevent things from going south in case the bloodlust is too much for Bucky to handle.
The former warlock stirs, groaning, his hand reaches for his neck rubbing over where he could feel the ghost of the bone breaking. Bucky’s eyes open, black with red rims, a deep hunger manifesting in his belly. As he licks his lips they are dry, parched. The thirst is taking over. He suppresses it, walking to the mirror to observe the changes he’s gone through. 
The short sleeved V neck fits him, his features seemingly sharper and defined but not taking away from what he was born as a human with, it wasn’t as though he was fully changed. 
When he touches his face with his left hand he notices the biggest difference. The three lines of his tattoo now wrap around his arm in swirls.
The middle line has a small crescent at his wrist and a star akin to the northern star is now over his cubital fossa. At the centre of the star however, is a crescent moon with a tiny sprig of lavender.
Pride swirls in his chest as does a familiar happiness, Bucky turns, Loki stands at the door with a bottle in hand.
“Welcome back, James.” Loki greets with a bright smile, their bond thrums. Bucky almost knocks his mate over when he’s by his side in a blur. Loki chuckles, wrapping his mate in his arms.
“Loki.” He breathes, melting into his embrace. 
“You need to feed.” Loki reminds and the thirst comes back tenfold.
“I need to see her.” Bucky argues.
“Warlock, she’s still human.”
“She’s my mate.” 
“And you will know then to feed before you see her.” Loki’s eyes turn black with red rims in response to the defiance, “Quell the beast within, James. You do not want to accidentally hurt Y/N.” 
Bucky clenches his jaw, pushing away from Loki, “You didn’t tell me it was this hard, curbing the need to be with my mates.” 
“You’re a half mated newborn, two basic urges are strong.” Loki hands the bottle to Bucky.
The latter drinks the blood in large gulps, sighing in content as the thirst quells. 
“Better?”
“Maybe after two more bottles.” He jokes, Loki chuckles.
Two more bottles are consumed, Bucky wipes the corner of his lip. 
Enhanced hearings pick up soft careful steps and then a ‘oof’ along with a whined out call of Nia’s name.
“You will wait patiently for Bucky to come to you.” Nia chastises Y/N, She huffs in response literally being dragged away as though a child.
“I need to see him.” She reasons when Nia pauses in the room.
“I know, but you need to let him feed,” Nia looks to the side, “Well you’re in luck, impatient little human he’s on his way.”
Nia stops at the door, “There are about 5-6 gatorades in the drawer.”
“For what?”
“Stamina, you have to keep up with two vampires now.” Nia laughs, easily dodging the pillow thrown her way. 
Y/N sits at the edge of the bed. There is a knock at the door. Her heartbeat picks up, as does the rustling of pages within her chest, as though pages being turned to reach the favourite part of a beloved novel.
Loki smiles at Bucky, noticing the anticipation of the bon trickle through the bond. 
“Come in…”
Loki turns the door knob, he enters with an encouraging smile. Y/N doesn’t look at the door but at Loki as he stands before her. Cupping her face.
“He’s fed, taken to the change well. Eager to see you and bond if you’re willing. He’s told me to pull him away if you do not want to tonight.” Loki explains, Y/N nods.
“I’m ready. I trust him.” She whispers. 
Bucky sighs in contentment.
Loki shifts, Y/N looks up at Bucky. The blue flickers in and out of focus as he tries to keep the beast at bay. Her eyes fall to the markings. The star gleams in the slightest and then the lavender sprig. 
Bucky’s fists clench, “Poetess.” he calls out to her, voice hoarse, needy. 
“Bucky.” Y/N says with equal need.
In a blur she’s pressed against the mattress, a breathless laugh leaves her before Bucky’s lips find her soft ones. Her scent thrums through his senses. The beast within him wanted more. 
Bucky’s hands wander over her frame, drawing moans from his mate into his mouth. Her hands grip at his t-shirt arching against him. He nips at her bottom lip. Bucky moans at the taste of her blood. 
“You’re so fucking divine.” He hums, “Loki was right, a goddess, we’re blessed with a goddess.”
Y/N preens at the praise, Bucky allows the beast to take over, the spot under her left collarbone calls out to him. His thigh grinds against her core.
He raises his head looking at Loki who watches them with a lust filled gaze, “Claim our mate, James. You can have her this once alone, because after that she isn’t leaving from between us for a long time.” he smirks.
Bucky returns the gesture, “Hear that Poetess? You’re going to be worshipped. You’re going to feed our hunger the way no other could ever.” He kisses the spot of their bond. Y/N hums, the pheromones clouding every sense their needs brimming across the bonds.
Bucky’s fangs break through the skin, tears brim over as the bond forges between the two. Golden, gleaming, bright. Strong. Bucky feels whole, his bonds complete. The magick thrums through him as well. As before, stronger now.
Y/N breaks out of the haze of the bond, her chest feeling full, the love prominent and everything she needed it to be from both of them. Her hand moves to Bucky’s new markings, thumb brushing over the crescent on his wrist. Both vampires watch the outline of the same crescent form in her eyes then fade away. 
Clothes are scattered over the floor, their mate worshipped between them. Bonds thrumming happily, sighs and moans fill the room. Y/N falls apart between them and is put back together by her mates.
The tangled mess of limbs, she lays between the two. Bucky’s chest against her back and Loki’s chest pressed to hers, she’s on the precipice of sleep with a smile on her face. 
“I love you both.”
“I love you both.”
“I love you both.”
