synopsis: Ghost has been feeling pissed off lately, and happens to lash out on you
tags: slight angst, misunderstandings, very slight mention of violence
He knew he was not in the right headspace. With the newly added task of training new recruits, the dead-end mission, and overall exhaustion. Ghost could feel his patience nearing nothing and he could feel it in his bones that he wouldnât be able to control himself from lashing out soonâ even if it was you.Â
Thatâs why he started to distance himself and avoid you like the plague. Only responding with grunts or one-word answers. Itâs not the best action but he couldnât think of anything else. Despite the frustration clouding his mind, he still vows to never hurt you. He promised you that; reassured you that he would never ever raise his voice at you, his hand stroking your back and kissing your temple, after you told him about your past one drunken night.Â
The first time Simon came home and didnât immediately wrap his arm around you, nosing the crook of your neck, you knew something was up. You didnât push the matter though. Brushing it off as something trivial and proceeding to go your usual routine. You did notice things that you never brought up with him: heavy footsteps, the lack of teasing from him, and uncharacteristically never clinging onto you Â
What finally pushed you to visit the base was when Si, your husband who would go through all levels of hell just to be close to you and never lets a night pass without you with him in bed, suddenly tells you he will be sleeping on the couch. It baffled you. This is the same man who wrapped all his limbs around to keep you from leaving after a big fight. The same man that acts like a big baby when you tell him youâre gonna be away on a work event. Suddenly, the idea of him getting bored of you and finding entertainment with another woman intrusively swirled in your mind.Â
Were you too loud? Too chatty? Clingy? Maybe you didnât satisfy him enough. Maybe he wanted a wife available to always cook for him after work. It scared you. You love him; love him enough to change just to keep him.
You needed to talk to him. Whether he likes it or not.Â
âPrice, please. Just call him for me?â The captain looks at you, hesitating. Even though he was aware of Ghostâs thinning temper and didnât want to put his comradeâs wife in a position that could result in a fight, he also knew that you needed to solve this. He scratches his beard, nervously looking at you.Â
âSweetheart, I donât know. The man.. he.. he hasnât been the best these days? Maybe you should go home and wait for himââ. You cut him off, âhe doesnât want to talk to me! Please, just 5 minutes and I wonât even cause a scene. I promise!â With a sigh, he finally relents and tells you to stay there while he calls for your husband. You crack a smile, nodding and feeling a sense of relief wash over you.Â
Moments after being alone, a new recruit (you assume considering youâve never met this man nor did Simon ever mention him) approaches you with a low wolf whistle. His hands find your waist before you can even comprehend whatâs happening, pulling you close to his chest.Â
âWhatâs a pretty little thing like you doing here?â You freeze, and disgust starts to bubble up inside of you. You plant your hand on his chest in an attempt to pull away in fear that Simon would witness this and think differently. Before you could say to leave you alone, a voice booms out. A voice you know too well.Â
âY/N!â Simon takes three strides and he was near enough to pull the recruit away from you and land a punch. Scandalous gasps went around while the yells of other members went inaudible to you. You stood there in horror as Price stepped in, pushing Ghost away and yelling to stand down. This was not your Simon. Your Simon would never be this violent in front of youâ he was too scared to frighten you and do something to push you away. These werenât the same hands carried you as if a delicate flower he plucked as well. The hands that routinely offers to brush your hair every night and washes you every sex session while he kisses your shoulders, showering you with endless praise with a voice filled with adoration.
Ghost whips his head. His cold stare made you falter, taking a step back. Something you never thought youâd do when faced with him. You could see his mask move, undoubtedly hiding his disappointment and furrowed eyebrows.Â
âWhat are you doing here?â He seethes, roughly gripping your arm tight enough to leave a bruise.
âI-I... I wanted to see youââ Before you could even finish, Ghost groans with frustration. âI fucking told you to not come to the base. Were you even thinking? Use that pea-sized brain of yours once in a while! Just.. leave me alone and go home.â
Silence. The whole base quiets down with his words, a tense atmosphere building up. You freeze. From the corner of your eye, you notice Priceâs contort with concern and hesitation if he should meddle.Â
The pain you felt was indescribable. It was as if Ghost took your heart and crushed it with his bare hands. Your breathing got labored, your eyes flicked down, taking deep breaths to hold back tears. Before the realization has fully settled, you pull away from Ghost, mumbling something incoherent. In that moment, Ghost knew he fucked up. He hurt his darling flower. He hurt the only person he treasured. The person that stayed with him through thick and thin. The person he married, vowed in front of God to love forever and to never hurt.Â
âNo, babyâ I didnât mean toââ
You cut him off, telling him you were going back just like he wanted. You didnât even call it your home. You always do. Saying it with pride to have something to call home with him.Â
God, what has he done?Â
ę°á â ŕťęą: dare I say this man needs a break :} Second part is out. Little detail: I use âSimonâ during Y/Nâs pov and Ghost for the rest, but used Ghost for her after he yelled at her. :3

Summary: Apparently, someone called Bucky's girl a whore. He has now made it his life's mission to find out who.
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x fem!reader
*****
Bucky sat at the kitchen island, eyes narrowed, leg bouncing, and the same scene from last night replaying in his head.
Bucky drew random patterns on your bare shoulder, his nose buried into your hair. You were being quieter than usual, but he knew you were awake as he could feel your hands fidgeting.
He didnât want to press you to tell him about it, so he settled on making you feel as loved as possible, pressing kisses into your hair.
Suddenly, you broke the silence, taking Bucky by surprise.
âBuck . . . do you think Iâm a whore?â
âWha-â Bucky lifted his head immediately, trying to look at you. But you hid your face in your hands, turning away from him.
âGod donât look at me. Fuck, this is so embarrassing,â You groaned into your hands. âForget I said that.â
âNo, honey, look at me please,â Bucky gently pulled your hands down, cradling your face. âWho called you that?â
âNo, no, no one,â You shook your head frantically. âIâm sorry, just forget I said anything. I donât know what I was thinking.â
âNo, sweetheart, who- okay weâll get back to that later. But you are not a whore, okay? No woman deserves to be called that in the first place. Who-â
âNo, no one. I was just . . . I just randomly thought of it.â
Bucky wasnât convinced, but he let it slide.
For now.
âWell, I donât want you thinking these things about yourself.â He pressed a kiss to your forehead. âOkay?â
You nodded, seeming relieved and a little surprised that he dropped it that easily.
âPromise?â
âPromise.â
It was now the next morning, and you were at the gym with Natasha, which gave Bucky the perfect opportunity to figure out who to murder.
Steve walked into the kitchen with Sam trailing behind.
âMorning Buck.â Steve greeted. His head stuck into the fridge, trying to look past the shit ton amount of edible cookie dough you had made a couple days earlier.
âHow come you didnât come run with us, you lazy fat ass.â Sam teased, leaning on the island.
âDidnât feel like it.â Bucky narrowed his eyes.
Suspect 1: Sam Wilson, The Most Annoying Bird Alive
Sam had a tendency to poke fun at people, but some might not take it as well as others. For example, when a barista burst out in tears last week when Sam joked about her being âall over the placeâ with all the orders coming in. (He came in with flowers the next day)
Bucky wondered if Sam had said something that was supposed to be funny, but you didnât think it was and got upset.
A part of Bucky wanted to settle on Sam so he had an excuse to beat him up, but the more rational side of him realized that you had gone on one too many missions with him to think he was being serious about anything he said.
Tony then came in, holding a bunch of empty coffee mugs in his hand, practically throwing them into the sink.
âBruce said my mugs were âtaking up too much roomâ in the lab,â Tony rolled his eyes. âWell why doesnât he try being the goddamn genius backbone of this team.â
Bucky stared at him intently.
Suspect 2: Tony Stark, The Dick Who Canât Set His Metal Rock Music Lower Than 98
Tony had a tendency to snap easily, especially when he was low on sleep (which was basically all the time). Everyone usually steered clear of Tony when he was moody, because he would most definitely say the meanest things, but not really mean any of it.
Bucky tried to think if it was logical that Tony would snap at you and say something. However, he came to the conclusion that even if Tony had said something, you had known him for too long to take his sleep-deprived words to heart.
âWhat are you looking at, Winter Schnitzel?â Tony challenged, noticing Bucky staring at him.
âNothing.â Bucky replied, his stare shifting over to his best friend, who was grinning in amusement, but still trying to find something to eat that wouldnât give him diabetes.
Suspect 3: Steve Rog-
Bucky stopped himself, almost laughing at himself for thinking Steve would ever call a woman a whore.
Even though you always kept the fridge full of random items you would make, Steve would never say a single bad thing about you.
You and Peter were out (God knows where), which was another perfect chance for Bucky to think.
But the problem was he couldnât think of anyone.
Everyone in the compound adored you, so Bucky couldnât figure out who the hell would deliberately say something to make you upset.
He dragged his shoes across the floor, cursing Steve in his head for making him go on a âstrollâ because he apparently looked âpent-upâ.
There was no way in hell Bucky would walk around outside, so he opted to take a walk inside, using Mother Steveâs demand to his advantage to scout out potential targets.
He halfheartedly glanced around the floor, stopping when his gaze landed on you.
He immediately grinned, not caring about the fact he probably looked crazy, and started his way over to where you were.
You were talking to someone with a bag in your hand. Bucky remembered you saying something about picking up a dress from the store for your friend. Peter was next to you, and for some reason, puffing his chest out?
But, as Bucky got closer, he realized you were talking to Jacob, the little dickwad who couldnât take no for an answer,
âHow many times do I have to tell you? Get out of my way. Iâm trying to get this to someone.â Bucky heard you snap, tuning in with his enhanced hearing.
Bucky stopped, trying to assess the situation and figure out if you would appreciate him stepping in or not.
He knew you didnât need anyone to stand up for you, but his overprotective side rippled through his body, his jaw clenching and fists balling.
âBaby, stop acting- âJacob was cut off with a sharp slap.
The little bastard was taken by complete shock.
Meanwhile, Peter was still trying to look as intimidating as possible.
âJacob, what the hell is your problem? Iâve told you to leave me alone more times than I can count. How fucking thick is your skull?â
Jacob was about to reply, with probably something bitchy, but he caught sight of Bucky in the corner with the most murderous glare and stopped himself.
He instead looked down and stepped to the side, giving you and Peter room to go.
âYeah, thatâs what I thought. Beat it.â Peter growled in the most non-threatening way possible as you two left, giving Bucky the perfect chance to slide in before Jacob could hightail out of there.
âBarnes.â Jacob greeted, clearing his throat.
âCallaway.â Buckyâs blood boiled at how differently he treated other men than how he treated women. âDidnât your mother ever teach you to respect a lady?â
Before Jacob could reply, his equally dumb friend, Brody, walked past the two men.
âDamn, Jake. Barnes finally here to beat you up for calling his girl a whore?â
Bucky and Jacob both stared at Brody.
Jacob looked sickly pale, and Bucky looked calmly terrifying. Clear sign he was fucking enraged.
âOh shit-â Brody finally put the pieces together, practically sprinting away.
Bucky turned back to face a petrified looking Jacob.
âSo,â Bucky reached out, fixing Jacobâs tie and smoothing down his collar. âIt was you, huh?â
A bruised cheek, wet underwear, and hurt ego later, Jacobâs talk with Bucky was over.
Bucky threw his feet up on the ottoman, but not before telling Friday to make sure Jacob was apologizing to you, as instructed by Bucky himself.
He patiently waited for you on the couch, a wide grin appearing on his face as you walked in and cuddled up next to Bucky, but not without pressing a kiss to his lips first.
Halfway through the movie, you turned to look at Bucky.
âThank you,â You smiled.
âFor what, doll?â
You turned back to face the movie, a smile playing at your lips. âCâmon. I know that was you. He would never apologize on his own will.â
Bucky laughed, turning you around once again to pepper kisses all over your face.
Summary: Y/nâs Steves girlfriend and sheâs been taken by Hydra, will he get to her in time? Will she want to go with him if he does?
Word count: 2,237

A/N: women arenât failures or less of a woman if they have miscarriages, unfortunately and sadly itâs a natural thing.
Masterlist
Why he kept doing it was beyond him.
The first time it happened both swore that it was a mistake, second time was a mistake too. The third time was to blow off steam from a rough mission. The fourth time, a mistake.
Now theyâve lost count of how many mistakes thereâs been.
They know thereâs been too many âthis is the last timeâ before they end up in the same position.
Even though he knew what he was doing was wrong he just couldnât stop.
When he woke that morning he knew he had fucked up. In the whole time that theyâd been fucking he never fell asleep, he always headed home afterwards. He never once woke up with her in his arms. This was intimate, something that they didnât do. It was just sex. They barely kissed, it was rough, he barely touched her other than her hips or his hand on her head as he pushed her face further into the pillow, further away from his mind - from his guilt.
Finding his phone he jumped up out of the bed his heart in his throat at the 22 missed calls and the one text message. He made her have a number that she would send to him for emergencies. For when she wasnât or felt safe.
He received the number 4 in-between the many missed calls.
âShit, baby pick up.â He chanted as he picked his clothes up off the floor and shoving them on in a hurry.
âSt-Steve?â A womanâs voice came from the bed.
âGet up. Somethings wrong with Y/nâ
âShitâ
Natasha took the sheet to cover herself as she rose from the bed, her too putting her clothes back on in a hurry.
Steve ran out of the room finding the team in the kitchen, Natasha soon following. âH-has Y/n called any of you? Somethings wrongâ
Receiving a chorus of noâs his heart plummeted in to the depth of his stomach. Not giving any thought to it he took off running to the garage.
Speeding through the busy streets Steve kept trying to ring Y/n, heart rate going through the roof every time he heard her voicemail. Not even parking the car he jumped out and ran up to their apartment, Bucky and Sam quick on his heels.
âNo no no no noâ the door was open halfway.
âY/n? Baby, Iâm homeâŚâ he tried, Bucky and Sam swore they never heard Steveâs voice sound so small.
Taking small steps into the apartment he has shared with his girlfriend for the past three years he felt like he couldnât breathe.
The grey couch was tipped on its side, cushions once nearly placed on said couch now lay on the floor. Pieces of glass from the photo frames they had hung up, littered the ground. Trinkets and ornaments belonging to Y/n, that took her ages to get a nice collection going was broken on the floor amongst the mess.
But thatâs not what caused him to loose his breath, no, it was the small puddle of blood in the middle of their living room, droplets leading to where he stood and behind him.
Bucky made his way around the wall that was Steve and did a sweep of the apartment in signs of his best friends girlfriend. Sam took off in the direction of where Bucky was calling his name. Five minutes later they both emerged from the bedroom, Bucky holding two things in his hands.
âW-what does the test say?â Nat questioned quietly from behind Steve as she stood with the rest of the Avengers.
âIt-its positiveâ
No one moved as Steve hunched over and puked up.
Just as he was about to stand the phone started ringing. Bucky answered and put it on loud speaker.
âYouâve been a naughty boy Steven so we took your girlfriend. You have less then⌠ten hours to find her, hopefully she wonât be too mad at you. Hail Hydraâ the voice on the other end of the phone chuckled darkly before hanging up.
âWhat the fuck is going on?â Tony demanded.
âI-I donât know, we need to find her. I canât lose herâ
âWeâll find her donât worryâ Nat says as she put a comforting hand on his arm, Steve looked at her hand in disgust and yanked his arm away as if she had burned him.
âDonât. Ever. Touch. Me. Again.â Steve growled in her ear quietly, even Bucky didnât hear.
Her head throbbed, her whole body ached and was sore when she finally came to.
âAh youâre awake, finally. Iâm Conrad and Iâll be here to help you through this very tough timeâ
âW-where am I?â
âWith Hydra darling. Believe it or not but youâre safe, I promiseâ
âReally? You pricks attacked me and you want me to believe you when you say Iâm safe?â She chuckled with a head shake.
âI know, that wasnât suppose to happen but we didnât realise that one of Captain Americas girlfriends was so feisty, well we knew one was but not youâ he says.
âW-what are you talking about?â
âOh didnât you know? Weird. Steve has another girlfriend. You know her, Natasha also known as the black widow.â
Her heart cracked but she didnât believe him, he was a member of Hydra for Christ sake. âYour lyingâ
âHold on. Matthews turn the screen on and letâs show our guest where her hero is.â
The bright light from the tv screen she hadnât even noticed was there, nearly blinded her. Conrad told Matthews to press play, her soul felt like it had died.
There was her boyfriend on six years thrusting in and out of her best friend.
âT-t-turn it o-offâ
âNo. Look in the right corner where his jeans are, open your eyes and do it Y/n.â
Complying with his order her eyes slowly peeled open and look where he had told her. There on the floor was the jeans she had brought him when he needed some new ones, every few minutes there was a flash.
âWant to know what that is? Itâs you, you was ringing him when we came knocking. You was running and hiding ringing for him whilst he was fucking another woman. Matthews fast forward to the best partâ
The footage fast forwarded and she saw Steve sleeping and Natasha climbing out of the bed, going to his jeans and picked up his phone she saw all the missed calls but instead of doing anything she put the phone down on the bedside table and climbed back into the bed.
âSheâs not very nice is she? She knew you needed him but she didnât care, thatâs not a good friend is it?â Conrad mocked with a chuckle. âD-do you want a drink of water?â
The change in his tone confused her, one minute he was mocking her then in the next he sounded worried.
âH-here, take slow sips. Itâs just water, look Iâll take a sip.â He says âsee, itâs okay I promise.â
âW-why are you doing this?â
âIâm helping you. Iâm not really the bad guy in this Y/n-â
âWhy?â
Just as Conrad was about to respond Matthews ran into the room âtheyâve arrivedâ.
âAh show timeâ.
âWhere is she?â Steve demanded clutching his shield tighter.
âSheâs here, didnât think youâd find us so soon Cap.â Conrad says from where he was stood, a grin on his lips.
âWhere is she?â He repeated.
âBring her in, nicely I donât want any more harm coming to herâ
The team watch as the door comes open from the left side of the room and Y/n came through it with two Hydra agents by her side.
âDoll-â
âHow long.â It wasnât a question but more of a demand.
âWhat are you talking about?â Steve questions.
Instead of answering him she turned to the others âdid you guys know?â
âKnow what?â Tony asks.
âDid you know that Steven was fucking Natasha?â
Both Steve and Nat flinch as she calls them by their full names. Natasha slowly backed up as the team looked at the pair.
âD-Doll whatever theyâve told you is a lieâ
âI saw it with my own two eyes. How longâ
âDoll-â
âA year.âÂ
Steve and Natasha spoke at the same time.
âAâŚyear?â
âIt was an accident Y/n/n-â
âDonât call me that Widow. A year isnât an accident, did the rest of you know?â
All shook their heads at her question.
âY/n please, it was a mistake I swear! She means nothing to me.â
Before she could respond Natasha spoke up âI meant nothing to you?â
âNo. Please Y/n letâs go home, your pregnant babyâ
âNot anymore Iâm not. I was two months ago but I lost it, I remember ringing you all night begging you to come home but you never answered a single phone call. Probably with her.â She quickly wiped the fallen tear from her eye as she remembers that night.
The night where her happiness had left her all alone on the bathroom floor, panic raising by the second. Ringing her happinessâs father just for him not to answer, blood flowing down her legs and hands that shook something fierce. She begged and begged for them to come back, promising that sheâd do better and be the best mum she could possibly be.
Sadly her happiness had gone away.
Numbly she cleaned up the evidence of her failure, placed the baby onesie she had brought as a present to tell Steve that he was going to be a dad - back in the box it came in, she put the positive pregnancy test in the box along with the sonogram and then neatly placed them in another box, pushing it right to the back of her side of the wardrobe.
Over the next two months whenever she was alone she would take the box out and talk to the sonogram, telling the tiny bean that she loved them. She knew she should of told Steve but she had no idea how to bring the conversation up, she couldnât bare to see his face light up when she said she was pregnant just to see it fade away when she told him that she had failed as a woman and that it was no longer with them.
To her she was protecting him by keeping it away from him.
âBut it doesnât matter now does it? You guys can fuck off now.â
âNo no Y/n please we can figure this out-â
âNo. Thereâs no figuring anything out. You betrayed me, you! I didnât do anything wrong! You donât love me no more? Break up with me! You wanted to get your dick wet by some bitch that wasnât me? Break up with me!â Her voice got louder as she went on stepping further towards him, standing in front of him she felt sick at the devastating look in his eyes.
âI asked Conrad to kill meâ she smile sadly at him âyou guys need to go now-â
âY/n baby please Iâm sorry, I can be bet-â
âDonât humiliate me even more please, Iâve wanted this for a while now so please just leaveâ
Steve opens his mouth but shuts it quickly when the agents of Hydra points their guns at him and his team.
Y/n walks back over to Conrad who leads her through the door they came through. The last thing the Avengers hear is the deafening bang they were all familiar with.
In the two years that had passed since he lost Y/n, Steve stayed far away from Natasha.Â
The team had only recently begun talking to the pair again, they had lost a friend and to them it was Natashaâs and Steveâs fault.
Steve missed Y/n more than anything, sleep didnât come easy to him not now not when the memories of his betrayal was always there as a constant reminder. Not when all he remembers is the pure devastation look in her eyes or how her hand glazed over her stomach when she spoke about their baby that they lost - a baby that he did not know anything about.
He had no one to blame other than himself for every time he hears a gunshot heâs transported back to that day he lost everything. Lost his world.
On the other side of the world in a woodland area away from the civilised society sat a lonely small farmhouse, surrounded by a large fence to keep the farm animals inside.
Y/n emerged from the wooden door with a small smile on her face, dressed in her dark blue dungarees that wore a deep green stain on the knees.
She didnât lie when she said she had asked Conrad to kill her and he had agreed, when they went into the hallway she had fully prepared herself for the bullet to come, to end her life instead the bullet zoomed past her head and lodged itself in the wall.
âIâm not going to kill you Y/n, I-I want to help you leave but you need to stay quiet okayâ
âWhy are you doing this?â
âIâm not much of a bastard, come on we donât have longâ
Now in the two years since she had left she finally felt at peace, she found herself.
Summary: Buckyâs a powerful and busy man but he always has time for you.Â
Authorâs Note: A friend shared this tik tok HERE and I could not resist writing more soft Mob Bucky because I just love him so! Hope you enjoy and thank you all so much for reading! Much love always! â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸ Divider by my sweet Daisy @firefly-graphics thanks lovely đĽ°
Warnings: soft and sweet fluff, mentions of a small injury
You tiptoe down the hallway, hovering near his office door with your fnger wrapped in a paper towel and tears stinging your eyes.
The sound of raised but muffled voices is all you can hear on the other side and with trepidation you lightly knock.
You get no response and sigh, lifting your free hand to knock harder this time.
Request by @aryarcharon: enemies to lovers, fuckboy!Bucky, praise kink.
Summary: Bucky seems to thoroughly appreciate all women...except for you. When he finds out one of your weaknesses, he can't help but use it against you, which only makes you hate him more.
A/N: I've had major writers block + lack of motivation lately. I started this WEEKS ago and didn't have a single good idea for it again until today, so here you all go. I meant for it to be a one-shot but it sort of turned into a two-part fic on its own. Special thanks to @aryarcharon for this wonderful combination request from the smut menu!
           Itâs not very easy to get under your skin. Youâre so level-headed and even-tempered, capable of dealing with the most heinous criminals and lowlifes without ever breaking a sweat. However, there is one person who not only knows how to get under your skin, but takes pride in doing exactly that. That one person is none other than Bucky Barnes.
           As a heavy rain pours down, soaking your clothes and sending a chill throughout your body, you stand with your arms crossed over your chest and a simmering rage bubbling up in the pit of your stomach. Itâs his fault youâre stuck out here like this, freezing your ass off and probably nearing hypothermia as you wait for an extraction team. The mission went fine. You got the intel you needed, you got in and out without a hitch, and you even made it all the way back to the getaway car. The getaway car that Bucky left idling for too long, which drained the battery and now leaves the two of you standing in the rain.
           Your eyes flit over to your left, where Buckyâs carefully analyzing the machinery beneath the hood of the car, like heâs going to be able to magically fix a drained battery. Just the sight of him feeds the fire of anger within you.
           âGive it up, we donât have any way to jump it off.â You grumble, running your hands through your wet hair. Bucky lifts his gaze to glare at you. His eyes briefly travel down to your wet clothes, but he focuses back on the machinery within a second. It was already cold out before it started raining, why the hell would you have dressed in such a thin shirt? And then to only pull on an equally thin jacket over the top of it, Buckyâs decided that youâre not the brightest. Â
           âIf you had listened to me and gone in when security was in the back half of the building instead of waiting until shift change, we wouldnât have had to leave the car idling for that long.â Bucky points out, letting the hood down and closing it with a metallic thud.
           âIf you had turned the ignition off, time wouldnât have been a factor.â You retort. You know there isnât any use in arguing, itâs not going to change your current shitty situation. However, you never seem to be able to stop yourself when it comes to Bucky.
           âI was trying to keep the car warm so you wouldnât be freezing your ass off on the drive back to the compound.â Bucky huffs, moving around the side of the car to join you in standing on the passenger side. The laugh that leaves your lips is genuine, and if you werenât laughing at Buckyâs words, it mightâve been infectious enough to make him laugh right along with you.
           âDonât lie and pretend like you were keeping it warm for me, you were doing that for yourself. Youâre never that nice to me.â Itâs true, heâs never that nice to you. Any other woman? Sure, heâs a gentleman to anyone else. But to you, heâs an ass, constantly. Itâs part of his fuckboy charm. He puts on the perfect show for women he wants to sleep with, and then gets them into bed and never calls them again, forever seemingly afraid of commitment. Itâs how you figured out that youâre the one girl heâs never thought about sleeping with. Heâs never been nice to you.
           Before Bucky has a chance to continue your pointless argument, his phone rings in the pocket of his leather jacket. Heâs quick to pull it out, note that itâs Torres calling, and then press the device up to his ear as he narrows his eyes at you. You roll your eyes the moment you make eye contact with him.
           âIâve got a car coming your way, ETA is about two minutes. But, it looks like the people you stole the info from may have caught on to the ruse, so you need to move.â Torres informs him quickly. He can hear him tapping away on a keyboard as he speaks.
           âWhich direction is the car coming from?â Bucky asks, already scanning the street for signs of danger.
           âHead north of where you are right now, when you get to the construction site at the end of the road, take a left and find a place to tuck in until the car gets there.â
           Itâs less than a minute later that you and Bucky are jogging through the rain in silence. You follow a couple of steps behind him, routinely glancing over your shoulder to check for the people that are supposedly on your tail. Though you havenât seen or heard anyone yet, it doesnât mean you arenât being watched. After a short twenty seconds of you jogging behind Bucky, his protective nature gets the best of him and he slows down, switching places with you. Heâs not letting you hang around the back and be the first one to get shot at when those guys catch up.
           âI can take care of myself, you know.â You mumble as Bucky lets you take the lead.
           âYou have to, since you sure as hell donât like to let anyone else do it.â He spits back lowly. For someone who canât stand being around you, he sure knows a good bit about you.

           Bucky stands in the shower, running his hands through his hair as he lets the hot water trickle over the curves of his muscles. He let you get under his skin today. He let you distract him from the mission at hand and he forgot to turn off the damn ignition, which resulted in the two of you getting stranded in the rain. Truthfully, you barely even did anything. It was the same shit that always distracts him when heâs in the field with you. The way you can be so serious and focused on your task, yet still throw casual insults and banter with him on the side. The way youâve never acted like you were scared of him or like you even care who he once was. The way you roll your eyes. Every time he sees you roll your eyes at him, which is often, he canât help but think about making you roll them for a very different reason. God, if he could just get you out of his life, heâd be fine. Heâd be more the fine, honestly. Heâd be fucking great.
           But, youâre a part of his life whether he likes it or not. You both live in the tower, you get sent on the same missions more often than not, and youâre as close with Sam as he is. So, over the last couple of months, Bucky came up with one foolproof way of gaining a little control back in this situation. He goes out of his way to make you want to insult him, to make you want to give him shit, so he can convince himself that youâd never give him a chance. Of course, it helps that heâs a bit of a modern-day fuckboy and you canât stand that. Your take on his sex life is a bit off, but he doesnât care to correct you on it, hoping itâll make you hate him even more. You think that he sleeps around and because you think he fears commitment, you assume he leads women on and gets them into bed with the promise of something more. He does sleep around, but with no promise of commitment or anything resembling that. He lets women know up front that he isnât looking for anything, that heâs happy to have one fun night and give them pleasure beyond belief, but that itâll never go anywhere after that. Besides, who would pass up the chance to sleep with a super soldier? Heâs practically fulfilling womenâs fantasies left and right. Heâs doing his civic duty by sleeping around. Isnât he?
           Bucky had been planning to grab something out of the fridge for dinner after his shower, and then lock himself in his room for the rest of the night. Until he stepped out of his room, freshly showered, and the heavenly smell of whatever you chose to cook for everyone that night graced his senses. He couldnât help himself from venturing in not only to see what you were making, but also to try to get under your skin as much as you got under his earlier today.
           âDonât tell me youâre cooking pasta again.â Buckyâs voice rings out just as youâre leaving your sauce to simmer and thicken up on the stovetop. Your back is to him, but you know heâs approaching the kitchen with a sure plan to piss you off. As you wash a wooden spoon in the sink, your entire body tenses up when you feel him behind you.
           âYou know I like to be alone in here when Iâm cooking.â You remind him coldly, shutting off the water and drying the spoon on a hand towel. Bucky chuckles lowly before backing away from you and moving over to the stovetop, glancing down at the pasta sauce that youâve spent the last fifteen minutes whipping up.
           âAnd you know thatâs why Iâm in here.â Bucky points out. God, heâs infuriating. Heâs made it his main purpose in life to piss you off, youâre sure of it. When you finally turn to face him, you catch him eyeing the sauce with piqued interest.
           âGet away from the stove.â You say boldly, pointing your wooden spoon at him like itâs a weapon. Buckyâs eyes dart over to you with mild amusement as he assesses the situation. You need to turn the burner off, but Buckyâs seen you cook this exact recipe enough times to know that, so instead of moving like you told him to, he reaches over and turns the burner off for you. Itâs his next move that really pisses you off. A smug smile tugs on the corners of his lips as his hand ghosts over the stovetop to the edge of the saucepan, and then glides across the rim of it, gathering a small sample of sauce. âDonât you dare.â You threaten him. âIt was your fault that I ended up soaked on that mission today, youâre not eating anything Iâm cooking tonight.â
           âSoaked, hmm?â Bucky repeats the word, giving it a much filthier connotation as he raises a brow at you. You shake your head, stepping forward as he lifts his hand closer to his mouth, his gaze focused on the sauce on the tip of his flesh index finger.
           âYou know what I mean.â You huff, reaching for Buckyâs arm to stop his movement.
           âIt was my fault that you ended up soaked.â Bucky says the sentence slowly as he thinks about you being soaked in an entirely different context. You poke his chest with your wooden spoon before grabbing his flesh wrist and pulling his hand toward you, effectively stopping him from tasting the sauce.
           âWhy do you have to make everything sound so filthy?â You question, looking around for your hand towel so you can wipe the sauce off of his finger. Itâs too far for you to reach without dropping his hand, and youâre sure as hell not letting him go now.
           âI like seeing you flustered like this.â He teases. Secretly, heâs enthralled that youâre touching him right now, that youâre standing so fucking close to him. He came in here hoping to piss you off just enough to make you yell at him, to make you chase him out of the kitchen, to remind him that you donât give a shit about him so he could go to bed tonight without thinking about you. Yet, here he is, enjoying every second in your presence.
           Flustered. It only takes two seconds for you to decide that youâve had enough of being flustered at Buckyâs words and actions. Youâre always the one thatâs flustered and heâs always the one thatâs smug and cocky over getting a rise out of you. The action your body chooses to carry out doesnât seem to go through the proper channels in your brain first, so you carry it out without pausing long enough to realize that it would be a mistake.
           You pull Buckyâs hand closer to your face, look up into his eyes, and wrap your lips around his finger, sucking the sauce off as your tongue glides against his skin.
           Fuck. You donât hear the very audible sound of Bucky swallowing. You donât hear the way every single thought jumbles up into a ball of incoherent words in his mind before disappearing altogether. You most definitely donât notice the way his cock is quickly hardening, even though heâs wearing gray sweats and his growing bulge is somewhat obvious.
           You did it, Buckyâs flustered. Youâve never actually seen him like this, with blush-tinged cheeks, blown pupils, and narrowed eyes. Heâs looking down at you like he wants to rip his hand away from you and storm off, but he isnât moving a muscle. Satisfied with your victory, you drop his hand and use the spoon to tap on his chest.
           âI like seeing you flustered like this, James.â
---
           With a hand wrapped around his cock and your name threatening to crawl past his lips, Bucky chases his release less than an hour after his interaction with you in the kitchen. The image of you sucking on his finger while you looked up at him through your lashes ruined him. It fucking ruined him. Bucky works his cock with no intention of prolonging his pleasure, he wants it over with. He wants to knock out this one, shameful orgasm and then figure out a way to get you back for doing this to him, for making him want you this damn bad. He wants to have you on your knees, swallowing his thick cock with tears on your face and lust in your eyes. He wants to have you naked in his bedsheets, crying out for mercy as he fucks you so thoroughly that you canât tell where his body ends and yours begins. He wants to have you so hooked on his cock that even a day without it leaves you restless and on edge. He wants to hear you fucking beg for him.
           Only a moment later, Bucky is cumming all over his lower stomach and abs, grunting as quietly as he possibly can as he imagines his entire load filling you. More than anything, Bucky hates that he doesnât actually hate you.
---
           Itâs been two days since Bucky started avoiding you, two days since you sucked his finger into your mouth and gave him something to fantasize about. For the first time since that moment in the kitchen, youâve found yourself in the same space as Bucky.
           As Bucky finishes up his workout with various pieces of gym equipment, youâre in the sparring ring with your latest trainer. You go through trainers about as fast as Bucky goes through women. Buckyâs sure this new trainer wonât last through the week. He watches as the guy pulls his punches, leaving you with only the lightest of swings to dodge and block. Heâs going too easy on you, playing it safe so he wonât hurt you, because he doesnât think you can handle yourself if he comes at you full strength. Bucky saw the same thing last week when the guy was here for the first time. Honestly, he expected you to request a new trainer after that first session, but for some reason, here the guy is again, treating you like a little princess in the ring.
           Youâre light on your feet as you duck beneath another one of your trainerâs wide swings and then rise back up, landing a gentle punch of your own to his gut and sending him stumbling one step back. Heâs quick to hold his hands up in defeat, shaking his head at your perseverance. Youâve been going at it for over an hour now, and although youâve both been going easy on each other, itâs still cardio.
           âIâm calling it for today. Iâll be back again on Monday and you can rough me up then.â The tall, broad-shouldered man promises with a smile. You let out a deep breath and nod your head as you start to unwrap the protective fabric from around your knuckles. Taking a few steps over to the far side of the ring, you steal a sideways glance at Bucky, whoâs completely engaged in his own workout with a weight set.
           âRough you up? I donât think weâve gotten anywhere close to rough.â You joke, though itâs true. The man has been treating you like itâs your first week sparring, like youâre something to be handled with care and caution. You drop the sweaty fabric strips onto the mats before tugging your hair out of its ponytail and lowering yourself to sit on your knees on the mats.
           âIf you wanted it rough, you couldâve just said so.â Your new trainer is bold. Though he fights you like youâll shatter with his first real punch, he takes risks with his flirting. Thatâs the only reason you havenât requested a new trainer yet.
           âGood to know.â You say coyly, looking up at him with a mischievous glint in your eyes and an innocent smile playing on your lips.
           It was that innocent smile paired with the way you looked up that simultaneously twisted Buckyâs stomach into an aching knot, yet still managed to send all of the blood in his body straight to his cock. If it was him that youâd been looking up at, his stomach wouldâve been fine. But no, you were looking at your fucking trainer, the man who clearly thinks youâre fragile and incapable of making it through a real sparring match. After a few more words are exchanged between the two of you, the guy leaves the gym, promising heâll see you again after the weekend, unless you call for him sooner. Bucky briefly imagines himself hurling one of the heavy weights across the room to knock the guy out of the door a little faster, but that would cause more trouble than itâs worth.
           He was going to ignore you. Honestly, he was. He wasnât going to let himself interact with you, for his own sanity. But his deeper desires are repeating like a mantra in the back of his mind. He wants to hear you fucking beg for him. He has to have that satisfaction. Heâs thought about it enough over the last two days that heâs imagined it to the point of committing the fantasy to memory. He has to have it.
           âI was wondering why you havenât put in a request for a new trainer yet, since that one seems to think youâre too weak for a real sparring match. I get it now though.â Bucky says lowly, setting his weights down and lifting the hem of his t-shirt, using it to wipe sweat off of his brow. You narrow your eyes at him as you remain seated on your knees, stretching your arms up above your head. You know him well enough to know that heâs not done talking. âYou want to sleep with him.â
           âYou donât know what the hell youâre talking about.â You laugh. You reach for your water bottle that sits a few inches closer to the corner of the ring, grabbing it and pulling it to your chest.
           âGood to know.â Bucky repeats your words. He has a habit of remembering exactly what youâve said and using it against you in various ways. Itâs one of the things you hate most about him.
           âWhat does it matter if I do want to sleep with him? You sleep with any girl that comes within ten feet of you, you canât really judge me, can you?â You retort. Bucky watches with an amused smile on his face as you set your water bottle back down and grasp the hem of your own shirt. He thinks youâre going to lift it just as he lifted his own earlier, to wipe sweat off of your brow. In retrospect, he shouldâve left the gym when you lifted your shirt over your head, removing it and dropping it on the mats beside you.
           âYou think heâd be good in bed? He wonât even throw a real punch at you in the ring. Heâd probably fuck you so softly you wouldnât even feel it.â Bucky scoffs, letting his eyes roam down your body as youâre taking another sip of water. You sit there in black leggings and a matching black sports bra, on your knees, making him question every decision heâs ever made with your appearance alone.
           âMaybe he thinks throwing real punches at a girl would dampen the mood.â You lie. You know Buckyâs right. The guy would be a bore in bed, but you can keep up the façade for a bit since it seems to bother Bucky so much.
           âBecause he doesnât know you very well.â
           âAnd you think you do?â
           âI think I know more about you than he does.â Bucky slowly approaches the sparring ring, keeping his eyes trained on yours the whole time. You donât move from your spot on the mats.
           âList one thing.â You dare him.
           âA real sparring match with a man would do the opposite of dampening your mood.â Bucky pulls himself up on the side of the ring, sliding through the ropes with ease and coming to stand a foot in front of you. He studies the way you look on your knees in front of him. He memorizes it.
           âYou think sparring would be like foreplay for me?â You ask, already knowing that thatâs exactly what heâs insinuating. You donât know why you let him talk to you like this, why you let him cross every single professional boundary again and again. But here you are, on your knees in front of him as he stares down at you with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
           âDo you want to prove me wrong?â Bucky holds his hand out to you, awaiting your decision.
--
           Your back slams against the mats for the third time, knocking the wind out of your lungs and leaving you gasping for air. It takes you a few seconds to catch your breath before you bend your knees and run your hands over your face. When you move your hands, you see Bucky standing above you and a little to your right, looking as smug as ever. Heâs practically getting off on throwing you around like this, or at least thatâs what you think heâs getting off on. Heâs really getting off on hearing all of the heavy breaths, gasps, and soft whimpers that have been leaving your lips over the course of the last fifteen minutes.
           âMaybe I shouldâve given you a safe word.â Bucky taunts, holding out a hand to help you up. You swat it away and take a deep breath before moving into a sitting position and then rising to your feet. Youâre quick to assume a defensive position once again, though youâre learning that being on defense against Bucky is the wrong move.
           âI donât think this is intense enough to require a safe word, unless you think youâll need one.â You huff. The two of you begin moving in a slow circle around the ring, sizing each other up once again.
           âYou sure about that? How much more can you take?â Bucky challenges you. You exhale slowly as you fight to calm your racing heart and come up with a plan of attack.
           âI can take whatever you have to give me.â You mustâve spent too much time around Bucky lately, because the innuendo that just left your lips is on par with the kinds of things he normally says. He falters at the implication of your words, letting his hands fall away from his defensive position for just a moment. You take your shot, rushing forward and shoving his chest with both hands as you lock your ankle around the back of one of his knees and knock him off balance. He goes tumbling backward, but before you can break away from him to maintain your own balance, he grabs your wrists and takes you down with him. You land on top of him on the mats with a soft thud. You begin scrambling to take control of the situation, attempting to free your wrists from his hold to pin his arms down on the mats. A low laugh erupts from Buckyâs chest as he witnesses your struggle. He actually finds it adorable that you think you have even the slightest chance at pinning down his vibranium arm. He lets you try for a moment, watching as you expend a little more of your energy, before he takes charge. Bucky easily breaks your grasp on his forearms and then grabs your right hand, tugging you down to his chest. He rolls you both over in one swift move, coming to rest half of his bodyweight on top of you.
           âDo you say shit like that to your trainer? Or just me?â He has to ask. You see the tiniest semblance of jealously peeking through his question and it brings a smug smile to your lips instead of his, for once.
           âDo you need me to tell you that youâre special?â You tease, trying to free your arms from where he has them pinned down on either side of your head. He watches with poorly veiled amusement as you struggle beneath him. In an effort to gather more strength, you pull your knees up and place your feet flat on the floor, which lets Buckyâs lower body slide between your legs. Your sudden move catches him off guard and he just barely pulls his hips back before his erection has the chance to brush against the crotch of your leggings. You let out a soft sigh as you try once more to break out of his grasp and Bucky can feel his cock growing impossibly harder at your sensual sound. The next sentence that leaves his mouth is one that could take things in one of two very different directions.
           âYou look so fucking pretty when youâre struggling for me.â He says lowly. You freeze in an instant. When you meet his gaze, focusing in on his blue eyes, warmth suddenly begins to flood your body. You feel your breath hitch in your throat and a sheen of sweat form across your chest. Bucky notices every little physiological reaction he gets out of you. You liked what he said. You fucking liked it. A new boldness comes over him and he licks his bottom lip before biting into it and letting his eyes trail down to your chest. His gaze doesnât linger there, but you can see the briefest appreciation in it as you lay there and let him look you over. Bucky wants to have you just like this, in his bed. But, if he can only have you like this on the gym mats, he isnât going to waste the moment. Leaning down until his nose is almost brushing against yours, Bucky still keeps the majority of his weight off of you. He tilts his head to the side and lets his nose graze the shell of your ear. When you feel his lips against your earlobe, your eyes flutter shut and your breath hitches in your throat once again. âSo. Fucking. Pretty.â Bucky repeats in a hushed whisper, emphasizing each word. Youâre fighting to keep your legs in the exact position theyâre in, theyâre beginning to shake as you strain to keep them firm. Every single muscle fiber you have wants to take part in spreading your legs. Bucky can feel it. He can feel how badly you want to spread your legs for him, he can fucking feel it. He thinks he might want it even more than you do.
           âWhat was the safe word?â You ask in a breathless whisper. You can feel the movement of Buckyâs lips curling into a devilish smile against the shell of your ear.
           âI thought you said you could take whatever I have to give you.â He tsks. His warm breath fanning against your cheek is driving you absolutely insane, and itâs adding to all of the other sensations that are sending your body into overdrive. âYou can take it, canât you?â Youâre trembling beneath him and he fucking loves it. You barely even think about his question before you find yourself nodding your head. In the back of your mind, youâre hating the way your body is fully complying with him, but for some reason it feels so good to do exactly what he wants.
           âI can take it.â You whisper softly. Bucky pulls back to look into your eyes as his teeth press into his bottom lip.
           âGood girl.â You reaction is instant and visceral. A whimper falls from your lips and your eyes close tightly as your legs spread all on their own, giving Bucky the freedom to press his clothed cock against you if he so wishes. But, he doesnât. Heâs completely mesmerized, entranced by your positive response to praise.
           That was the moment Bucky realized that you have a praise kink. When you finally gathered yourself and opened your eyes to look up at him, the way he stared back down at you like he wanted to ravage you right there on the mats of the sparring ring sent a jolt of electricity through you. Yeah, you wanted him to do every filthy thing that was running through his mind in that moment. But it was Bucky Barnes. Bucky Barnes, the man who sleeps with anyone and everyone, the man who is never nice to you. You couldnât let him have what he wanted, so you came to your senses and finished the fight. You shoved him off of you when he least expected it, sending him to land flat on his back beside you, and then you scrambled to your feet, quick to put a bit of distance between the two of you.
           âHad enough already?â Bucky asked in a condescending tone, as he bent his knees and ran his fingers through his slightly damp hair, not making any moves to get off of the mats.
           âI said I could take it, I didnât say I would. Find someone else to fuck around with.â You spit the words back at him with sheer malice.
           The following week was torture. Bucky, being the little shit that he is, decided to use your praise kink against you. Knowing your secret made getting under your skin that much easier for him. It started out small, with whispered praises in passing. He was leaving the gym one day when you were halfway through a heavy core workout, and as he passed by you, he couldnât help himself.
           âLook at you, sweating and panting but still looking so fucking pretty.â He said lowly as he passed you, shooting you a smirk as the words left his lips. It set a fire deep in your stomach, which you swore was due to rage, but really, it wasnât. The heat from that fire went straight to your cunt. You finished your workout in record time before hurrying upstairs to your room and telling yourself how much you hate him while you gave yourself the pleasure you so desperately needed.
           As Bucky teased you more and more, he began to become familiar with even the most subtle ways that your body would react to him. When he said just the right things, he could see your breath hitch in your throat, your posture straighten in the slightest, and your pupils dilate as you glared at him. Your eyes showed nothing but hatred but your body sang a different tune entirely, and he was feeding off of it.
           Itâs now a few days later, and Bucky has grown even more confident in reading your body language. Youâre in the kitchen late at night, washing a mug you used earlier in the evening. As you stand at the sink with your back to the rest of the living space and hallway to the bedrooms, Bucky slips out of his room quietly. Honestly, he didnât know youâd still be up and out of your own room. He was planning to grab a cold bottle of water from the fridge and get back to his sleepless night, but there you are, in those little pajama shorts and an oversized t-shirt that almost makes the shorts pointless. When he joins you in the kitchen, youâre instantly aware of the heightened tension in the air around you both. You watch out of the corner of your eye as Bucky pulls the fridge open and retrieves a cold bottle of water. You listen as he unscrews the lid and takes a long sip, before screwing the lid back on and leaning against the island behind you. You continue washing the mug, spending way too much time rinsing the soapy bubbles off of the ceramic dish.
           âYouâre not going to look at me?â Bucky asks. His voice is tense, filled with anticipation. You refuse to turn around an face him. You finish rinsing the mug and shut the faucet off, shaking the mug over the sink to get off the excess water. As you reach to your left for the hand towel that sits on the countertop, Bucky suddenly rushes forward, reaching his arms around either side of you and letting his hands rest on the countertop. You try to act unbothered as you dry the mug and keep your breathing as even as possible. He isnât even touching you. His chest is only an inch or two away from your back but the proximity makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. âCome on, look at me.â Bucky coos. He leans down and lets his nose brush against your ear so lightly that it tickles and you pull your head to the side, away from him. As your heart rate increases and the warmth between your legs begins to grow, you start to think. He has the advantage. Heâs had the advantage for a week now and youâre sick of it. You want an advantage of your own. As Bucky waits for a response from you, your mind races back to the night you sucked on his finger in this very kitchen. You got to him that night and he stayed away from you for days after that. You want that advantage over him again, you need it. So, you let that need guide your actions. As you inhale a deep breath, you turn your head and let your cheek brush against Buckyâs, catching him by surprise. He pulls away an inch and turns to look into your eyes. His surprise quickly fades into a look of pride as he sees you doing exactly what he wanted, looking right at him. âGood girl.â
           âBuckyâŚâ You feign a whimper, setting the mug and towel down on the countertop before mirroring his position. You place each of your hands right beside his on the edge of the countertop and lightly press your ass back against him. Youâre not even a little bit shocked when his erection makes contact with your ass, you knew heâd been getting his own twisted enjoyment out of this little game. As you grind gently against him, he draws in a sharp breath and you face forward once again, glancing down at your hands on the countertop. âLook at how much bigger your hands are.â You say incredulously, noting the size difference as he peers over your shoulder. âIâm so glad we never tried to fuck, I donât think I wouldâve been able to take you.â You whisper.
           Bucky stiffens behind you and youâre sure that you actually feel his cock throb against your ass before he pulls his hips away. In a flash, his hands are gone from the countertop and heâs retreating, leaving you by the kitchen sink.
That was the moment you realized Bucky has a size kink, the moment you leveled the playing field.
Warnings: Smut, Cock Warming, Snowed In, Only One Bed
Length: 3.7k
Summary: A blizzard knocks out the power in the safehouse where you and Bucky are sharing a bed. Can Bucky keep you warm through the cold night?
Authorâs Note: It has been so cold where I live lately and thereâs nobody better than Bucky to warm me up. Iâm entering this work into @targaryenvampireslayer Blind Date Writing Challenge. I donât participate in a lot of fandom events, so this was really fun! I used the Only One Bed trope and the Dialogue Prompts âTake your clothes off. Right now,â and âAre you holding back? Donât.â Happy reading and stay warm! Divider via @firefly-graphics

âYou didnât even want to get egg rolls,â Bucky whined as you grabbed one off of his plate.
You grinned as you bit into it. He smiled back at you, but his shoulders shifted ever so slightly, tipping you off to his next move. His chopsticks swooped onto your plate in retaliation, but you were ready for him, blocking his attempt on your orange chicken.
He glared at you and you relented. He popped the chicken into his mouth with a satisfied smirk. You rolled your eyes at him and took a sip of your beer. It was a local brew. A little hoppy but not too bitter, with a surprisingly crisp taste. You loved trying beers at every new little town you ended up at. Nothing beat a cold beer after a long mission, even if it was 20 degrees and dropping outside.
It was warm and cozy inside the little cabin. This safe house was cuter than most. It had a little wood stove and lace tableclothâdefinitely grandmother-approved. The place was small, but youâd stayed at smaller ones. Although most had at least a few twin size cots. The bed here looked comfortable, but there was only one.
âItâs picking up out there,â Bucky nodded at the window. Outside you could see the snow swirling in the wind.
âThe Winter Soldier scared of a little snow?â you teased.
âOh, shut up. You wouldnât last ten seconds out there. Remember Helsinki?â
âThat is so unfair! I fell into a frozen pond!â
âI told you not to walk on that patch of ice!â
âYou were being a know-it-all.â
âThatâs because I actually know it all.â
You threw your half-eaten egg roll at him.
âYou didnât even eat it?!â
You shrugged and he glared at you as he finished it. After dinner, you got ready for bed. It had been a long day. When Bucky came out of the shower, you were already under the paisley-printed covers.
He grinned at you. âThatâs my favorite bonnet,â he said, nodding at the silky cap on your head.
âYou have favorite bonnets of mine?â
He shrugged. âIâve seen you in enough of them. I love the one with rhinestones on the headband. You look like a queen. The Kirby one is really cute, too.â
âNice try, Bucky.â You threw a pillow at him. âYouâre still sleeping on the floor.â
âOh no.â
âOh yes.â
You knew he was going to jump on the bed a second before he did it, but you didnât stop him. He looked so satisfied with himself.
âTime for bed,â you said as you started stacking pillows on the bed between you.
âAfraid you wonât be able to keep your hands off of me?â he teased.
âDonât think I forgot how you hogged the couch in Bangladesh.â
âI maintain that you rolled off of the couch by yourself.â
âWell then consider it protection from me rolling you off the bed.â
He laughed as you finished the wall of pillows, marking your territory. You were just grateful that the bed was big enough to have your own space and that there were enough blankets that you wouldnât have to share. You loved Bucky, but in your friendship you were more likely to trade insults than share the covers. Was there something more behind the words you traded? Maybe. Sometimes it felt obvious that he felt the same and other times you were certain that he just saw you as a friend.
If you were just friends, you were friends that lived and worked in very close quarters. Youâd had a lot of hands-on moments working the mission with him today. If you had a little more privacy, youâd probably be touching yourself right now thinking about the weight of him on top of you as he tackled you to the ground to protect you, his hair tickling your face as he whispered a new tactical plan into your ear. Instead you were stuck here, close but not close enough. You sighed in frustration.
âNeed a bedtime story?â Bucky asked.
âOnce upon a time, a former assassin wouldnât shut up while his teammate tried to sleep.â
âTeammate? Thatâs all I am to you?â he asked. The hurt and offense in his voice almost sounded real.
âWhat do you want to be described as?â you asked.
âJust get some sleep, princess.â
You chuckled and rolled over, soon falling asleep. You dreamt of him, of course. Of his hands on you. One warm, one cold. And then it was just his left hand. It was so cold. You let him keep touching you, of course. You didnât care if you got frostbite. You just wanted him to keep touching you.
You were pissed when you woke up before you could climax. But you quickly realized it wasnât just cold in your dream. Your teeth were chattering in real life.
âFuck. Itâs freezing,â you said.
âPowerâs out,â Bucky said. âMust be the storm.â
âCan we make a fire?â
âI checked. The stove is electric.â
âAre you sure? That thing looks older than you.â
Bucky laughed. âI think I saw a few candles in the cupboard.â He got up and rummaged around in the kitchen. He lit them and placed them around the room.
âBring one here. Maybe I can warm my hands.â
He laughed as he flopped back onto his side of the bed. âI know itâs cold in here. With the blizzard, thereâs no way weâll make it down the mountain. In the morning, we canââ
âIâm not gonna make it to morning! Feel my fingers!â
Bucky outstretched his right hand toward you, smiling in amusement at what he assumed was exaggeration. When you touched him, his expression changed to one of concern. Maybe things were worse than you thought. Maybe it really was frostbite. Bucky started taking down the pillow barrier.
âWhat are you doing?â you asked.
âYouâre right,â he said as he threw pillows over his shoulder and onto the floor.
âOooh, say that again.â
He laughed. âItâs too cold in here. You need body heat.â
You rolled your eyes but he kept moving pillows. âYouâre serious?â
He nodded as he got rid of the last pillow. He awkwardly opened his arms. You scooted closer to him. This wasnât how you wanted his arms around you, but you were too cold to deny him. He wrapped his big, strong arms around you. You relaxed into his embrace, and not just because of the warmth. He held you tight to him and you wouldâve stayed just like forever, but you were still shivering. It felt like the chill had settled into your bones. The extra warmth from Bucky was only making it more obvious just how cold it was in the tiny cabin.
âWe need skin to skin,â Bucky said.
You laughed but he didnât.
âTake your clothes off. Right now,â he said.
Maybe the frigid air was impacting your decision-making, because instead of denying him, you complied. Tried to, anyway. Your fingers were so numb from the cold that you fumbled with the hem of your shirt. He gently nudged your fingers aside and helped you out of your shirt. Youâd imagined the first time he took your clothes off a little differently, but you couldnât care about that now. Once your shirt was off, he took his off too.
He hugged you again then. Your bare skin felt electrified where it touched his. He held your hands to his chest to warm them. With his hardened pecs beneath your fingers, it took all of your willpower not to squeeze.
âIs that better?â he asked.
You nodded. You didnât trust yourself to speak. You stayed like that for a few minutes, afraid to move. Afraid that at some point heâd decide that you were warm enough. You werenât warm enough. In any sense. You needed him closer for survival, but it became increasingly difficult to tell if you needed him because you were cold or because you were horny.
âYouâre not warm enough,â he said finally. You didnât argue.
When he pulled away, the sudden loss of warmth made your body tense up. He immediately placed his arms around you again.
âI wonât let go of you anymore, okay?â
You hated how pathetic your voice sounded when you responded, âOkay.â
His arm reached between your bodies to pull his pants down. You told yourself that you werenât going to look, but your eyes had a mind of their own. You watched his fingers grip his waistband and tug down his boxers and his pants. Suddenly he was naked. Even in the dim lighting, you could see how big he was. His eyes went straight to yours to check in, but he found no objection. You looked away to be polite, but felt too awkward to look into his eyes. You turned around so that your back was to his chest. You were grateful that he couldnât see your face when he started to pull your pants down. If he was hesitant about this plan, his movements didnât show it. He was smooth and deliberate, quickly ridding you of your pajamas and underwear. When you were both undressed, he pulled you close. When you felt his cock against your ass, you shivered, and it wasnât because of the freezing temperatures.
âThatâs it,â he said. âTurn over.â
He didnât wait for you to move, effortlessly pulling you onto your back and laying on top of you. Bucky was naked. You were naked. And he was on top of you. You were short of breath just thinking about it.
âDonât tell me Iâm taking your breath away,â he teased.
âYouâre heavy,â you retorted. âI think you may need to start laying off the eggrolls.â
As you laughed together, you became hyper aware of how close your bodies were, of just how much physical contact you had. The laughing stopped abruptly.
âWhy didnât you take off my bra?â you whispered. âAfraid that once you see these youâll be ruined for all other boobs?â
âYes,â he nodded as he reached under you, large hands rubbing your back and unhooking the clasp. He slowly slid your straps down your arms. He looked into your eyes as he pulled your bra from between your bodies and threw it onto the floor.
Here you were, caged in his warmth, looking deep into his eyes like in one of your fantasies. And yet your instinct was to make a stupid joke, find some way to make this feel less serious. But you couldnât think straight with his dick resting on your stomach and his warm breath on your face.
âBetter?â he asked.
âEh. Still a little chilly,â you joked breathlessly.
âI can get you warmer,â he said seriously.
You laughed. âI donât think we could physically be any closer than we are right now.â
He quirked an eyebrow at you. âWell, technically we could be a little closer.â
âBarnes, if I go outside in the morning and find out that you cut the powerlinesâŚâ
âI canât have you dying of hypothermia on my watch. I donât have to move or anything. Just to keep you warm.â
You wanted to roll your eyes and hit him on the arm, but his sincerity caught you off guard.
âSeriously?â
âSeriously. Iâm not a fan of the cold either. Iâve spent too much of my life frozen already. We donât have to if you donât want to. I just thoughtâŚâ
âOkay.â
âYeah?â
You nodded. âAnd donât worry, when I tell Nat this story, I wonât even mention the shrinkage.â
He laughed with you and then shook his head at you.
âWhat am I gonna do with you?â he asked.
âStick your dick in me, apparently.â
He swallowed nervously. âAre youâŚ? Are you ready?â he asked.
You nodded, hoping he wouldnât question how wet you were already. You certainly werenât going to bring up the fact that you had felt his length slowly hardening against you for the last few minutes.
âI, uh, just gottaâŚâ He reached down to pump himself a few times, looking anywhere but you. You wanted to change that.
âYou can look at me, Bucky.â
His eyes found yours. Youâd never seen this expression on his face before. He was never this easy to read. Even though heâd beaten the Winter Soldier programming, he usually always kept a part of himself closed off. Those defenses were gone now. In their place was yearning. A desire so deep it was overwhelming. The way he looked at you was the same way you felt about him.
You arched your back, drawing attention to your chest. âYou can also look here, if it helps.â
He looked at your breasts for the first time. His mouth fell open in awe. You hoped you really were ruining him for other women. You hoped he would never look at anyone else like this for as long as he lived. His eyes went from your chest back to your face as he shifted between your legs. You bit your lip when you felt the head of his cock prod your entrance. It would take everything in your power not to moan. This was probably a very bad idea. But still you let your legs fall open wider to give him easier access.
When he first pushed in, you drew a shaky breath. He stopped moving, eyes anxiously searching yours. He was terrified youâd ask him to stop. Quite the contrary.
âThat all you got?â you asked.
He smirked at you before resuming his progress. Despite your earlier joke, you felt your walls stretch around him as he pushed further into you. You felt every single inch, but it was torture not being able to wrap your legs around his hips or claw at his back like you wanted to.
When he was fully seated, he stilled. You took a few deep breaths. It was dizzying, being this close to him, this full of him. It was his turn to tell you, âYou can look at me, ya know.â
You looked at him in the flickering candlelight. His hair obscured your view of his face. You reached up and tucked it behind his ear. He nuzzled his face against your hand. Your heart skipped a beat. You could feel his warm cock throbbing inside of you. He was looking at you so romantically that you forgot where you were for a moment. Your body did, too. Your pussy clenched around him. You didnât get a chance to wonder if heâd felt it. You heard him groan. Right before you felt him thrust.
His eyes darted to you, panicked. Youâd seen him panic once before, as he pulled you out of the ice in Finland. That day heâd warmed you up by the fire with plenty of hot drinks and some light teasing. You preferred the current method of warming you up. Which is why you let him hear you. You moaned for him. If youâd been less desperate for him to fuck you, you wouldâve been embarassed by how needy you sounded. It was nothing compared to the strangled cry Bucky let out with his second thrust. You expected him to keep moving, but he stopped again. He leaned in, eyes urgent.
âThe first time I saw you,â he panted, âI knew you were the most beautiful woman Iâd everââ
Your heart fluttered, but you couldnât have him saying things he didnât mean. âYou donât have to flatter me, Buckââ
âItâs not flattery if itâs true. And you are so beautiful.â
You placed your hands behind his head and pulled him in for a kiss. You werenât sure what it was going to be like, your first kiss with Bucky. Especially since that first kiss was occurring after he was already inside of you. When your lips touched, you both sighed with relief. His lips were soft. You werenât expecting that. His tongue probed your lips gently, and you gladly gave it access. He kissed you slowly, like he was savoring every second. He cupped your breast with his right hand, softly stroking it. His touches were almost reverent. It wouldâve been romantic if you werenât so needy. Thereâd be time for slow and steady. You hoped so, anyway. Right now you needed fire. You needed his touch to chase away the cold.
âAre you holding back on me, Barnes? Donât.â
That was all the encouragement he needed. He bent his head and attached his lips to your neck. He pulled the delicate flesh between his teeth as the hand on your breast eagerly squeezed. His metal hand tightened its grip on your hip. Maybe, if you were lucky, youâd have a bruise in the shape of his handprint tomorrow. Proof that this had actually happened. Proof it wasnât just the best dream of your life.
Maybe you wanted to mark him, too. Maybe thatâs why you tangled your fingers in his hair while you raked the nails of the other hand down his back. He grunted as he drove into you with renewed force, the headboard rattling against the wall.
âFuck,â he whispered. âYouâre so wet. So tight. So perfect. Even better than Iââ he stopped himself.
âBetter than you imagined?â you suggested.
He nodded.
âYou imagine me?â you asked, breathless.
âEvery day,â he confessed.
You moved your hips in time with his next stroke, taking him deeper than ever. You both cursed. With each thrust, you knew things would never be the same. With each thrust, you got more and more desperate for him to ruin you. You writhed desperately under him and he only gripped you tighter, forcing you to stay still and accept your pleasure like a good girl. He angled his hips so that he was massaging your g-spot with every thrust. The head of his cock dragged against your center of pleasure over and over again in a relentless pursuit for your climax. You wanted to beg him to fuck you harder and faster but you didnât want this to end yet. Not until he was as ruined as you were.
You took your hands away from him and brought them to your chest. You gripped your breasts tightly and moaned. He was mesmerized. You pinched your nipples and rolled your hips, putting on a show for him. You needed to know that he would never forget this. That he would never forget you. You tugged on your nipples and cried his name.
âThatâs my job,â he said. You smirked at him.
You put your fingers in his open mouth and brought them to your clit and started rubbing slow circles. You watched his eyes darken. He grabbed your hand and brought it to his mouth again, closing his eyes in pleasure as he licked your fingers clean. Instead of putting your hand back where he found it, he brought his metal fingers to your clit instead, taking over your ministrations there. The cold, hard metal rhythmically massaged the sensitive bundle of nerves until his name was the only word in your vocabulary.
You wouldnât last much longer. Youâd see to it that neither would he. You attached your lips to his neck and sucked a bruise into the skin. His fingers on your clit went from slow circles to frantic figure 8s. Your back arched in pleasure as you felt your walls tighten around Buckyâs cock. His hips stuttered as he flooded you with warmth. Your legs shook when you felt him fill you. You whimpered his name. He whispered yours. Before you could even catch your breath, it happened.
You both knew the second the power turned back on. The hum of the fridge, the rattle of the old radiator, the red âOffâ light on the coffee pot. It was like a bomb going off in the bubble youâd built. You looked at each other, startled, as if you were just realizing the extent of what you had done. For a split second, you considered pulling away from him and getting dressed, pretending none of this had ever happened. But you didnât want that, not while his cum was still warm inside you and aftershocks of your orgasm were still rocking your core. You two spoke at the same time.
âItâll probably take a while before youâre warm enoââ
âThe power could go off again at any moââ
âSorryââ
âWhat were you sayingââ
You both chuckled self-consciously.
âYou love being inside me, donât you, Barnes?â you teased with no taunting in your voice. You felt his dick twitch. You rolled your hips. âIs that a yes?â
He bit his lip and looked at you with more than lust. It was devotion.
âYes,â he said finally.
âGood. Because youâre the only one that can keep me warm.â
âWhat about me?â he asked.
You looked at him, perplexed.
âI get cold, too.â
âWhat can I warm up for you, Bucky?â
âMy ears are kinda cold,â he said.
Oh. Not exactly what you were thinking about warming up, but ok. You reached out to stroke the side of his face. He smiled and blushed, but nuzzled into your hand.
âYour thighs should be pretty warm nowâŚâ
Oh. Your thighs could keep his ears warm. You would happily straddle his face in the name of reciprocity. It was the least you could do, right?
âŚ
The next morning, you woke up wrapped in Buckyâs arms. The heat hadnât gone out again during the night, but you still felt like you needed Buckyâs warmth.
âI didnât tamper with the generator,â Bucky said. âBut I should have. I shouldâve warmed you up like that when you fell into the lake.â
âWhy didnât you?â
âWould you have let me?â
You nodded.
âYou would have?!â
âI bought the Kirby bonnet for you,â you confessed.
âWhat?â
âI know how much you like playing Mario Kart with Sam. I thought youâd like it. I thought maybe itâd make you like me.â
He scoffed. âAre you kidding? By that point, I was already in loâI mean, I, uh. I really do love Mario Kart, youâre right.â
âNice save.â
âLet me take you out on a proper date.â
âOne condition.â
âAnything.â
âHas to be somewhere warm.â
You shared a laugh.
âWhereâs the fun in that?â he smirked.

đSimon has himself a merry little Christmas - for @glitterypirateduck's cod holiday challenge
Simon opens his eyes to an empty bed on Christmas morning.
His breath catches in his chest when his hand slides across the sheets, instinctively seeking the warmth of your body, only to discover your side of the bed empty.Â
His rational, tactical, professional mind tells him you've probably just gotten up with the baby. That for some reason, he slept too deeply and didn't wake up when she did this morning, like he usually does. You're in the guest room, Emmaline's room, now, or in the kitchen. Maybe you're already drinking your first cup of coffee. You're fine. The baby is fine. Nothing is wrong.Â
But his heart... his heart screams. Terror ices his veins, adrenaline and fear taking control of his gross motor skills, legs twisting beneath him as he stumbles out of bed and races for the door. Theyâre fine, theyâre fine, theyâre fine-
âSweetheart?â His voice betrays him. He sounds stressed, anxiety piquing, frantically turning the corner into the kitchen. Not again, he canât do this again, this canât happen againâŚÂ
Itâs empty. The front door is still locked, and so is the patioâs, twinkling Christmas tree glowing in the late dawn light. His mind splits. Check Emmalineâs room, theyâre probably in there, get control of yourselfâŚÂ andâŚÂ the glock 19 is closest, should still be under the top shelf, call Price, mobilize the team-Â
âSimon?â He whirls at the sound of your voice, air rushing out of his lungs, drawing into a relieved laugh. Emmaline is on your hip in a green, white, and red striped elf costume, complete with a pointed hat, jingle bell dangling from the top. âMorning.â You smile, and so does the baby. âSantaâs elf wanted to surprise you.â Youâre still a little sleepy, eyes tired, and he does a double take when he realizes youâre in your underwear and one of his t shirts.Â
âIâm⌠surprised.â Bloody hell. His brain isnât working, his mouth rendering him stupid, still caught in fight or flight, and your lips subtly twist before your eyes soften, realization soft across your features.Â
âAre you okay?â You question, and he nods, not trusting himself to not say something else moronic, flailing in the silence, failing. Itâs been weeks since heâs felt like this, inept, clumsy, senseless, too easily settled into a life with you after that pipe burst in your flat and practically delivered him a holiday miracle, a treasure deposited right into his lap. âHere,â you push Emma into his arms, soft fingers over top his as you hand her off, looking up at him with that level trust, adoration that youâre always providing him, in your eyes. Just holding Emmaline settles the anxiety in his heart, soothes the raw buzzing thatâs tearing through his head, and you smile, butting your head into his shoulder and placing a kiss there. âWill you take her while I get dressed?âÂ
âYeah.â He croaks, as you squeeze his forearm, turning away. âSweetheart,â he calls, stopping you in your tracks. He wants to tell you he thinks he loves you; he thinks heâd die without you; he thinks youâre the greatest thing heâs ever had, ever held, thinks you saved him, but nothing comes out. You hold his gaze for a second, and then two, before whispering.
âI know⌠me too.â Of course you do. You pause, cocking your head. âCould you make some coffee? Gonna be a long day.â You raise an eyebrow towards the Christmas tree, where all of Emmaâs gifts sit perfectly arranged, and he nods. He can do that.
âJust three scoops of this,â he tells Emma, portioning out the coffee into the filter as she babbles at him from her perch in his other arm. âMama likes it pretty strong, doesnât she? And then some water, like this.â He pours the pitcher into the machineâs reservoir, flicking on the power and listening to the gurgle as he makes his way to the couch. He bounces Emma on his knee, little hands waving in the air, trying to grab the end of her hat and gnaw on it. The tree sparkles behind her, lights and ornaments all aglow, and she giggles when she tips herself forward, planting onto his chest with both hands. âEasy, baby girl.â Rolling onto her back in the crook of his arm, she squirms, smiling up at him, finger extended towards his chin. âWhat is it, eh?â He leans, and she pokes his cheek, cooing with a satisfied grunt. She fits so naturally in his side, just like you do, and he settles into the cushions, relaxing, allowing her to explore, tactile touch padding across his face, little fingernails scratching at his stubble.
âYou two look cozy.â You murmur with a yawn, cup of coffee steaming in your palms. He smiles, and Emma lifts her head to look for you, tracking the sound of your voice. You perch at his other side, knees tucking up next to his hip, nestling your head against his shoulder, fingers tracing Emmalineâs cheek. âWhatcha doing sweet pea?â He brushes a kiss across the top of your head, and you sigh, arm wrapping around his stomach. "This is nice."
"It is." He agrees. It's more than nice, it's everything. Everything he didn't know was possible, everything he didn't know he wanted. It's nice, spending Christmas with his girls, cuddled up together on his couch in front of a Christmas tree that's loaded with presents for the baby. A Christmas, the holiday he used to shun⌠now brought back to life by you. Nice is a good word to describe it, but others flit through his mind as well: perfect, redeeming, salvation.
Purpose.
He takes a ragged breath, and you lean back to look at him, waiting.
"It's more than nice, sweetheart, it's... I... never thought, never dreamed this could happen in my life. You and Emmaline, you're... everything to me." He pauses, cradling your face, watching how your eyes shimmer with unshed tears. "I want," he swallows the lump in his throat. "I want you to stay. I want you to be here. Always." He needs you to stay, needs you like he needs air to breathe, needs you like he's never needed, never wanted, anything before in his life. He'd give you the world, if he could, wrap it up nicely and put it beneath the tree, but he doesn't know how to say that, how to explain.
He's grateful he doesn't have to.
"I'll be here, Simon. I'll be right here. With you." You take his hand, clutching onto him tightly. It's selfish, what he wants. Stupid. But he's not a good man... he's yours, and he'll be as wicked, as awful as he must to keep you and Emmaline safe. You're the only good thing about him now, and he'd dig himself free from a shallow grave all over again, just to crawl home to you. You've changed him, deeply. Fundamentally. Taught him the truth of love, of healing, your grief not so much different from his own, and he knows he'd die for you, he'd die for you ten thousand times.
Emmaline babbles at the sound of your voice, and you smile at her, not bothering to wipe away the tear that tracks down your cheek. "We're here. We'll stay. As long as you want us."
And christ, if that isn't the best Christmas gift he's ever be given.

"Can I suck your dick?"
Simon had just lined himself up at your entrance when those words left your mouth and he became as still as a statue when they registered in his mind. Positioned underneath him on the bed, you looked up at him with slightly wide eyes as if your request shocked even yourself. It was something you had thought about for quite some time; how Simon always seemed to give and yet rarely ask for anything in return, and you wanted to change that.
You just didn't think you'd blurt your thoughts out so suddenly like that.
Surprised, Simon leaned back to look at you while his hand still gripped his hardened cock. Shifting under his gaze, you propped yourself up on your elbows as you waited for his answer. You wished you hadn't said it so suddenly like you did, but the thought most likely would have never passed your lips if you had attempted to do it any other way.
"That what you want?" he asked.
Though he questioned you to ensure that was something you wanted of your own accord, you could see the dark glint of want in his eyes. Saw the way his tongue lightly wet his lips and how his hand squeezed the tip of his cock like he already imagined your mouth around him. Eagerly, you nodded as you pushed yourself up into a sitting position, mind already racing about how you were supposed to do it properly.
"Yes... please."
After placing a short and heavy kiss on your lips, Simon slipped to the side, reversing your positions. He propped himself up on the plush pillows near the headboard while you sat between his legs where his thick and powerful thighs kept your corralled like an animal. With one hand still holding himself, Simon reached for your face with the other as he caressed your cheek with his thumb.
"Take your time, yeah?" he prompted. His dark eyes looked at you adoringly while his hips impatiently bucked under his own stimulation. "You can stop whenever you want."
Once again you nodded as you breathed out a simple confirmation before your hand replaced his. While you settled between his legs, you slowly stroked at him as you thumbed over the smooth jewelry of his piercings. Eventually your lips brushed against the warm tip of his cock, wetting your mouth with his precum.
As your mouth gently dropped open, you tried not to think too hard about everything. Simon always told you that type of stuff was supposed to come easy and natural, to not force it and just let your desires take control. So you did just that as you slowly lowered yourself onto him, mouth opening impossibly wide in order to accommodate the sheer girth of him.
He tasted salty, almost refreshingly so, and you couldn't help but swirl your tongue around his glands in an attempt to soak up more of that flavor. Simon's thighs tensed on either side of you, and his breathy sigh didn't go unnoticed by you. You wanted more, to draw out more of those pitchy moans, to make him feel just as good as he always made you, so you pressed forward to take more of him into your mouth. He brushed against your soft palate similar to how he always pressed against your cervix, and the unfamiliar feeling made you gag.
"Easy sweetheart," he warned as he gently pushed you back. "Go slower... yes, fuck just like that..."
Eventually you found your rhythm. Whatever you couldn't take in your mouth you used your hands to make up for as you bobbed your head along his length. Simon's breathing became strained like he had to hold himself back from fucking up into your mouth like a madman, but you noticed that every time your swirled your tongue around the piercings on his glands, it forced his hips to buck ever so slightly.
A tingling sensation settled over your lips the longer you worked at him and your jaw began to ache from the awkward position but you pushed forward. You felt his hand rest gently on the back of your head, carefully guiding you along him as he aided you in setting a pace that felt good but wasn't too much for you. His quieted moans eventually transformed into unrestrained grunts as you brought him closer to the edge. The warmth of your mouth and soft lips around him was enough to drive him to insanity, and just as his stomach tensed, just as he was about to spill into your mouth, he gently pulled you off of him.
Panting, you sat back on your haunches as you gave Simon a glazed yet confused look. A long stream of spit dribbled down your chin and you quickly wiped it away on the back of your hand as you tried to catch your breath in order to ask him what was wrong. His cock glistened with your saliva and it seemed to twitch in frustration at the sudden absence of pleasure.
"C'mere," he said, his voice dark and husky. His hands were already on your waist where he excitedly pulled you closer to him, forcing you to straddle his hips.
"But I wasn't done," you attempted to retort.
Simon chuckled at you as he once more lined his cock up against your heat, drawing a sharp gasp out of you. In an attempt to keep yourself steady, your hands came up to rest on his shoulders as he ever so slowly lowered you onto him, sliding into you with ease due to how well you slicked him up.
"You can suck me off properly another time, sweetheart," he said with a tight jaw. He hissed as your cunt began to swallow him, tight muscles pulling him into you like he never belonged anywhere else. "Did you really think you could make me feel that good and get nothin' in return?"
Your head fell forward and into his shoulder with a soft gasp as he bottomed out, filling you with ease and to the brim. As he began to gently move you up and down, his hips bucked up to meet you halfway where he kissed your cervix with each thrust.
"Fuck... no, no. I reward my girl for bein' good, yeah?"
bucky barnes is the type of guy that gravitates towards something softer during sex. he's not one for the animalistic and transactional sentiment of doggy, often finding it unfulfilling and loutish. instead, the intimate and tender actions of missionary are something he much prefers.
just you bare back to the sheets, arms and legs lazily enveloped around bucky's hovering body - his lower half nicely slotted between your spread thighs. cock snuggly wedged in you, tip kissing at your cervix.
he's so far inside - your walls melting around his girth, holding him comfortably within the warmth of your sweet, pretty pussy. he's slow with it, the roll of his hips almost non-existent, just keeping himself plunged inside. nothing but a slow and leisure pace. taking his time.
he'd be close to you, almost folding you in half. the tops of his upper thighs pressed up against the underside of your own, elbows anchored either side of your head, carrying his weight. his forehead tucked into the crook of your neck, muttering tender, loving praises into your skin. reassuring his niceties with trails of kisses, tilting your head back further into the pillow to allow him more space to your throat.Â
he'd admire the vulnerability of it all. to see your face while he's so deep inside of you. to see your eyes soften and brows twist, features becoming pliant under his enamoured gaze. to see you clamp on your lips when you try to keep it down. none of it would go unappreciated.Â
he'd feel so much love for you. so much care in that moment. the way you look up at him, eyes so trusting and full of warmth, fingers mindlessly grazing his scalp - it all sends him to a place of comfort. a place of solace.Â
the roll of his hips would remain unrushed, winding into you with no deliberation, no pattern - no purpose other than to feel you. to hold you. his lips on yours, lazily working over them. swallowing each other's sounds, moans muffling against your tongues.Â
he'd whisper against your lips, words hoarse and murmured, telling you how beautiful you look - how pretty you sound. praising and complimenting you while he's so fucking you so slow and deep.Â
he would temporarily divert his attention elsewhere, trailing a messy line of soft, wet suckles along your jaw and down the other side of your throat. going along your collarbone til he reaches the tops of your tits. he'd pepper the soft, supple skin with kisses, featherlight and weightless, just faint pecks going around - avoiding the nipple.Â
his weight would shift, now balancing on his left metal arm, the other sliding down your side to hook behind your arching back, bringing you closer to his face - holding you there. worshipping your tits.
the sounds of hushed moans and wet clicking fill the room, just strangled breaths muffling as he fucks you nice and slow.

The idea of getting your full name spooks him, cause what if he gets captured and some enemy agent sees? It's just too much of a risk for him. But initials are safer. Twice as much if they're hidden behind roman numerals.
So he reveals his new ink one day, during a quiet moment a few weeks after he gets it once it's healed up. He explains what the roman numerals are (they correspond to letters of the alphabet: A would be I, B is II, and so on) and what they mean, and you spend so long marveling at Simon's dedication that it takes you a minute to notice something... strange.
"There's no number for my last name."
He takes your hand, puts it over the numbers, and puts his forehead on yours.
"That's cause I'm hopin' you'll let me put the number 18 there, love."
hand holding with simon during sex would be so fuckin' adorable.
the golden glow from the morning sun shining through the curtains, peaking through a gap in the blinds. simon's body protects you; it cages you in. he envelopes his brawly body, shielding you as he begins to thrust and grind into your slicken and wet walls. the pulsing sensitive throbbing around his girth had him frustrated with his eyebrows furrowed together with delirium, watching you arch your back and grip his hands tightly.
he tenderly kisses down your neck, coating you in love as he continues to push and drive his thick hips into you slowly and gently, filling your cunt with his warm heat. your bodies, although warm, don't turn sweaty or sticky, a perfect medium, with his scent covering your skin, marking you and claiming his territory. simon can't help himself, letting out a chuckle at the soft sight below him.
you always take him so well, gratefully accepting each inch so perfectly and slowly. you pulse and throb and squeeze, moaning quietly for more and letting out quiet, hushed whimpers when he grinds up against that one spot that sends you over the edge.
the wet sensation of your slick rolling down in droplets has him grunting quietly, your collarbone dripping with love as he pumps into you again and again, making sure to fill you up, your warm slit tightly squeezing around him as he seeps his load into you.
A/N: There is a scene in this that was wholly inspired by one of @littlemiss-yeehaw's latest smutty sketches, check out her blog and comment on the sketch that you think I used! This is a continuation of the request submitted by @stuckysbike, thank you again for submitting it and trusting me to give it a go! I've decided that day 12 will simply be the gift that comes tomorrow (today technically, in less than 24 hours): Needs & Wants Bonus Chapter.
           You canât deny that you look a little bit like a Christmas gift all wrapped up in your short little burgundy bathrobe. Youâve just finished showering and doing your skincare, and youâre flipping off the bathroom light switch when you hear the softest knock at your door. You stand still for a moment, wondering if you actually heard what you think you heard. The only person who ever comes to your door is one of the girls, and even then, they never knock, they simply let themselves in. You hear the knocking sound a second time and your feet begin carrying you away from the bathroom, across your room, and straight to the door. When you pull it open, Bucky stands before you, looking like he has a million things to say but very few words to utilize.
           âBucky?â You say his name like you arenât even sure itâs him, but obviously it is. His eyes are quick to coast down your figure, taking in the sight of you in that little burgundy robe with the tie around your waist fashioned into a bow. You look like a fucking gift. Someone to unwrap me like a Christmas present. The first wish from the list in your dirty letter to Santa flashes through Buckyâs mind as he memorizes every detail about the way you look right now.
           âHow much did you have to drink tonight?â He asks, narrowing his eyes at you as he finally focuses his gaze on your face. You scrunch up your cheeks and nose in annoyance. You canât believe heâd have the audacity to knock on your door and ask you something like that.
           âWhy the hell are you here asking me that?â
           âBecause if you had a lot to drink, then your letter to Santa ending up underneath my bedroom door mightâve just been a momentary lapse in judgement. But if you didnât thenâŚâ Bucky lets his voice trail off as he studies your expression, looking for any answer to the countless questions he has swirling around in his head.
           âMy letter? Under your door?â You ask incredulously. You immediately begin backtracking in your mind, remembering how you started cleaning up the kitchen and totally forgot about the letter you left sitting on the coffee table. One of the girls or Sam mustâve grabbed it and slid it under Buckyâs door as some stupid prank. Your face falls as you realize he very well couldâve opened it and read it. âWait, you didnâtâŚâ When your shocked eyes look into Buckyâs, he almost wishes he hadnât read it.
           âSo, you didnât slide it under my door.â Bucky confirms. Why is there a hint of disappointment in his tone? Are you imagining it? Was he hoping that you had? Wait, why the fuck did he decide to knock on your door? Just to ask how much you had to drink and to find out if you gave him the letter yourself? What would he have done if it really had been you? By the time you pull yourself out of your whirlwind of thoughts, you see Bucky giving you one last look before turning on his heel to head back to his own room. All inhibitions flee as you start moving without thinking. There isnât one thought left in your mind when you reach out and grab Bucky by the arm, stopping him in his tracks. He tenses up as soon as your hand meets the fabric of the sweatshirt thatâs covering his flesh bicep, but he doesnât pull away from you. Instead, he turns back to face you as your hand falls away from him.
           âYou read it.â You say softly, not quite sure where your mouth is about to take this unexpected conversation. Bucky nods, his eyes scanning yours for any sort of reaction. âIt was a joke letter, just a stupid game Nat wanted us to play.â Bucky nods again, maintaining eye contact with you as you fiddle with the bow at the front of your robe.
           âRight, I canât imagine youâd actually want someone to cum down your chimney.â Your words written on a piece of paper were dirty, but somehow hearing them leave Buckyâs mouth makes them absolutely filthy. You can feel the blush creeping into your cheeks, turning them a soft shade of pink, as you stare up at the man with your lips slightly parted in surprise. A small smirk tugs on the corners of his lips. You donât quite like how heâs enjoying your surprised reaction, so you decide to try and get a similar reaction out of him, just so youâll be even.
           âWhy not? It was on my list, wasnât it? I also asked for three orgasms in one night, if I remember correctly.â Now Buckyâs the one with the parted lips and a raised eyebrow. He probably wouldâve even blushed if all of the blood in his body hadnât rushed straight to his cock. âWhat was the other thing I asked for?â You canât remember what else youâd written in the letter, but now youâre sure that Bucky does. Bucky stares at you for a moment, taking in your pink cheeks, your playful gaze, and the way your arms are currently crossed over your chest as you toy with him. He decides to take the leap.
           Bucky slowly reaches out with his flesh hand, giving you every opportunity to either swat his hand away or step back and close the door on him, but you donât. You follow his movement with your eyes, watching as his fingertips first brush over the fabric around the neck of your robe, and then begin to trail down the front of it lightly until he reaches the bow. He grabs one of the ends of the tie, his eyes flitting up to yours before he makes another move. You donât say a word. You donât move a muscle. Youâre actually holding your breath. So, Bucky continues. He tugs on the end of the tie with just enough force to unravel the bow and loosen your bathrobe right there in the doorway of your bedroom. Youâre still fully covered, but one move and the front of it may fall open and reveal your naked body to the man in front of you. Bucky reaches out with both hands now, as he takes one step forward, limiting the space between the two of you to just a few inches. He wraps his fingers around each side of the opening of your robe, holding them in place so nothing is bared to him, but wanting nothing more than to throw it open. His actions suddenly remind you of the forgotten wish on your list: someone to unwrap me like a Christmas present. Realization spreads across your face and Bucky gives you a soft smile as your eyes meet his.
           âIs this what you asked for?â He questions, rubbing his thumbs over where he holds the fabric of the robe in between his fingertips. You swallow hard and nod slowly. âI know you can use your words, just like you did in the letter.â
Fuck.
âThis is one thing.â You answer softly. Bucky could stop here. He could let go of your robe and let you shut the door on him. But the way youâre looking up at him, letting your teeth sink into your bottom lip as you patiently wait for his next move, it makes it impossible for him to stop after only fulfilling one of your wishes. Besides, he hasnât even fully unwrapped you. It wouldnât be fair to you if he stopped now.
So, Bucky lets his instincts take over, throwing his rational mind out the window. He looks into your eyes one last time, and you can tell from the lilt in his brow and the serious expression painted on his face that heâs making sure he has your permission. The slight nod that you give him is all he needs. In one swift movement, heâs pulling you against his chest by the front of your robe. When you practically crash against him, he lets his vibranium hand rise to cup the side of your face. His eyes are the most mesmerizing blue, making it simultaneously hard to look into them yet hard to look away. Bucky canât stop himself from placing his cool, vibranium thumb over your lips, and then dragging it down until it just barely sits between your parted lips. He wants to see how youâll respond to his touch.
When you part your lips a little more, Bucky knows heâs done for. He wonât be going back to his room at all tonight, he fears. He watches you so closely as his thumb slides past your lips, slipping into your mouth and rubbing over the surface of your tongue as you wrap your lips around it and suck. Fuck. He wishes heâd done it with his flesh hand so he could feel your mouth. Or maybe itâs best that he used the vibranium hand, because if he felt what his vibranium thumb is experiencing right now, he mightâve ended up wanting you to suck him off, and he doesnât remember seeing that on your Christmas list.
You let Bucky pull his finger out of your mouth with a soft pop of your lips, watching as lust floods into his gaze. In this exact moment, you just want to thank whoever it was that slipped your letter under his door. You have a feeling they did you the biggest favor.
Just a second after Bucky has removed his thumb from your mouth, youâre turning on your heel and heading back into your bedroom, trusting that heâll follow you without a word. You hear the door click and then the sound of the lock turning just as you reach the foot of your bed. Youâre just about to ask Bucky to finish unwrapping you when heâs suddenly right behind you, letting his hands slide over your hips to pull you against him as he leans down and presses his lips to the side of your neck. His mouth is so distracting that you donât even notice what heâs doing until your robe begins falling off of your shoulders, coming to pool at your feet on the floor. In Buckyâs head, heâs mentally crossing off the first thing on your list.
âYouâll sit on my face.â Bucky says boldly, moving around you and climbing onto your bed like heâs done it a thousand times before. He positions himself on his back, with his head resting flat on your pillow, and his eyes flitting over to get a look at you. The way his gaze trails all over every inch of your naked body lights a fire inside of you, that you think may only be extinguished by riding an orgasm out on his face. So, you donât question him or second-guess yourself. You do exactly as he wants, carefully positioning yourself to straddle his face. He was planning to take it slow, figure out what you like and what you donât like, drag you up the hill to your first orgasm slowly. But as soon as he saw your glistening cunt, hovering mere inches above his face, he couldnât keep himself from gripping your thighs and pulling you down hard. His tongue made contact with your entrance first, and he dove into it with a fiery passion, first dragging his tongue around it in circles, teasing you effortlessly. When you felt the first dip of his tongue inside you, your hands flew to the wooden headboard, holding onto it so tightly that you worried it might splinter.
âBucky, oh my god.â You moan, letting your right hand float down to tangle in his hair as he licks a line from your entrance, through your folds, and straight to your clit. When he finally starts licking and sucking the sensitive bundle of nerves there, you know you wonât last long like this. Moans and whimpers start falling from your lips freely, spurring Bucky on and encouraging him to hold you in place as he works you closer and closer to the edge. âIâm going to cum.â
Bucky almost laughs against your clit, but he controls himself and continues sucking and swirling his tongue right where you need it most. He almost laughed because of how fucking easy it was to get you on the verge of cumming for him. He knew he was good at this, but he didnât know youâd be so ready and willing for him to please you. When you go tumbling over the edge, waves of pleasure rock through you so hard that you nearly put all of your weight on Buckyâs face. Truthfully, he wouldâve welcomed it, but he also has other plans that he wants to carry out.
As you hover above Bucky, catching your breath and trying to calm your trembling thighs, Bucky places a soft kiss against your clit before sliding his hands up to your waist and helping you move to lay on your back next to him.
âThat was number one.â He whispers, crawling over you and pressing his lips against your jawline. He lets the tip of his tongue slide over your cheek teasingly, and when he nears your lips, you can nearly taste yourself on him. He uses his knee to nudge your legs apart while continuing his ministrations along your jaw and neck, drawing soft exhales from you with ease.
âLet me catch my breath first.â You laugh lightly. Buckyâs fingers are already diving between your legs, gently slipping back and forth over your folds as he gathers your wetness and spreads it around.
âThat wasnât something you put on the list, catching your breath after any of the three orgasms.â Bucky points out, focusing the pads of his middle and ring fingers over your already overly-sensitive clit and applying a light pressure. âI think you can handle this.â He coos. Fuck. Your back is already arching, causing your tits to press against his still-clothed chest. You start to wonder why the hell he still has his clothes on, but your train of thought is immediately derailed when you feel his middle finger slip inside of you without a warning. Itâs been so long since anyone has done this to you, and even since youâve taken the time to do it to yourself, so the stretch that you feel gives you a stinging pain that causes you to draw in a sharp breath and tighten around his fingertip. âOh, youâre so fucking tight. How are you going to be able to take my cock, huh baby?â You arenât sure what gets the loudest moan out of you, his finger plunging into you as far as he can send it or his words. He plans to fuck you.
âIâll take it.â You promise, not even thinking about what youâre promising. Bucky chuckles lowly before pulling his finger out of you and shoving it back in, beginning to fuck you with it over and over again.
âYouâll take it.â Bucky agrees, adding a second finger as he looks down into your eyes and watches the way your teeth once again sink into your bottom lip. âYouâll take it if you want that last thing on your list.â
Bucky Barnes promising to cum inside of you is the very last thing you expected to get for Christmas. Itâs only a couple of minutes later when heâs thrusting his two fingers in and out of you in such a coordinated manner that youâre seconds from another orgasm. Bucky curling his fingers inside of you is what sends you careening over the edge, your second orgasm crashing in so hard that you reach down and grasp Buckyâs hand, holding it still as you roll your hips, riding your high out on his fingers yourself. Heâs in awe of you. Heâs in awe of every little movement, every little sound, everything you do as you cum for him.
âThatâs number two.â Bucky whispers against your neck, pressing a soft kiss to your smooth skin as you finally release his hand and let him slide his fingers out of you. As soon as your breathing begins to slow back to a normal rate, Bucky is pushing himself off of the bed and pulling his sweatshirt over his head. You prop yourself up on your elbows, taking in the curve of his shoulders, the soft scars where vibranium meets skin, and the heaving of his chest. When he pushes off his sweats and boxers, letting his cock spring free from its confines and finally stand fully on display for you, your mouth falls open. âRemember, you said youâd take it.â Bucky reminds you, wrapping his hand around the impressive length and stroking it slowly as he crawls back over you on the bed. âTurn over.â
Once he has you laying on your stomach, he leans down over you, letting his warm chest press against your bare back. You feel his hard cock resting against your ass as he inhales the sweet scent of your shampoo, closing his eyes and wondering to himself if youâve always smelled this damn good. The next few seconds are both a blur and seemingly happening in slow motion as Bucky guides you to slide your knees underneath you and raise your ass up for him. Feeling the head of his cock brush against your entrance has you seeing stars, not even from pleasure, but from anticipation and pure adrenaline coursing through your veins.
âBucky, please.â You moan, pushing your ass against his length, begging for him to fuck you already. He chuckles lowly once again but obliges, rubbing the tip of his cock back and forth through the wetness coating your folds a few more times before finally slotting his cock into you. You feel every inch as it disappears inside you. You feel it move in the slightest every time Bucky so much as takes a breath. He buries himself to the hilt and then stills, his breath fanning across your neck as you bury your face in your pillow. The grunt that rumbles past his lips sends a rush of heat through your body, traveling straight to your cunt, which then flutters around his shaft.
âOh, fuck, baby.â He groans out, squeezing his eyes shut and dragging his cock out of you slowly. When he thrusts it back in a second later, he canât bear to stop again. He starts fucking you so hard that you canât do a damn thing besides moaning out his name and gripping the bedsheets with both hands. Itâs a sight Bucky vows never to forget. âThis is what you wanted for Christmas, huh? Is this what you wanted?â
âYes! God, yes, Bucky.â He loves the way you sound when youâre at his mercy like this. He picks up the pace of the snapping of his hips, watching as your knuckles turn nearly as white as the sheets heâs fucking you on.
âThatâs it, take my fucking cock just like that.â Never in your wildest dreams could you have conjured up with a dirty talking Bucky Barnes. Heâs filthy. He continues thrusting into you, over and over, relishing in the feeling of your pussy pulling him back in every time he tries to pull out. âYouâre going to let me cum inside of you, arenât you? Thatâs what you want for Christmas.â
âYes, please. Fuck, donât pull out.â
âGood girl, thatâs it baby.â Â Just a few more thrusts from Bucky have you fighting to hold back your orgasm, and he can tell. âDonât fucking keep it from me, let it go.â He demands, gripping your hips and pounding you into the mattress. Your third orgasm of the night begins with his cock fully seated inside of you. He fucks you through it, chasing his own high as he listens to the dirtiest sounds fall from your parted lips. âFuck, Iâm cumming.â He says the words only half a second before he starts filling you up, fucking his cum in as deep as he possibly can.
A couple of minutes later, Bucky is still laying on top of you, pressing soft kisses to your shoulder and neck as you enjoy the warmth and closeness he offers.
âThat was number three.â He whispers, letting his lips ghost over your skin.
Request by @littlemiss-yeehaw: jealous!Bucky, fake dating, handjob.
Summary: Bucky pretends to be your new man when you run into your ex in public. However, the little act of pretending sparks something inside of him that he didn't know was there.
A/N: The first request I wrote from the smut menu had to be from my Tumblr best friend. Not only does she pre-read nearly everything that I post, but she keeps me from deleting my blog on a near daily basis, and she keeps me sane. I hope you all enjoy it as much as she did. If it wasn't for this girl, my blog would've been deleted before Needs & Wants was ever completed lmao.
           Youâve decided that no one in the world looks more out of place than a super soldier in a grocery store. Specifically, a super soldier in the produce aisle of a small local market. He looks like a bull in a China shop as he scours through a bin of tomatoes to find ones he approves of. He holds one tomato in each of his leather gloved hands as he compares them carefully, acting like choosing between the two is every bit as difficult as deciding whether someone lives or dies in his usual line of work.
           âTheyâre pretty much the same, Bucky, and we only need two. Just put them in a bag.â You say with a sigh, resting your elbows on the handle of the shopping cart that youâve been pushing as youâve trailed behind him. Though youâre the one carrying the teamâs grocery list, Buckyâs been the one pulling things off of the shelves and setting them in the cart. You originally suggested each of you taking half of the list and splitting up to get the shopping done faster, and to avoid the pointless arguments and annoyances youâd face in each otherâs presence, but Buckyâs only response to your idea was a furrowed brow and silence. So, youâve been following him around with the shopping cart safely between the two of you.
           Bucky starts to put both of the tomatoes down and pick two different ones just to bother you, but he takes the high road and bags the two heâs already holding instead. Heâs usually assigned to grocery shopping with Sam, which he definitely prefers, but with Sam off to visit his family this week, he ended up being stuck with you.
           âWhatâs next?â Bucky asks, setting the plastic bag of produce in the cart and then casting you a sideways glance. You cross tomatoes off of the small piece of paper in your hand before moving on to read the next item.
           âWeâre done with food items, next is ibuprofen, melatonin, and some feminine products.â You answer, lifting your gaze to meet his as you tap the pen against the piece of paper absentmindedly. Bucky nods curtly and starts leading the way down the aisle, knowing all of the aisles with medication, first aid, and toiletry type supplies are on the opposite end of the store. You follow a few feet behind him, missing your usual shopping buddy, Wanda. Though itâs a menial task, you always seem to have a fun time when the two of you are on the grocery schedule for the week. Bucky is a stark contrast to your far more bubbly, lighthearted friend.
           Youâre lost in thought as you turn a corner and enter the pharmacy aisle, not paying any attention as Bucky looks through various types of over-the-counter medications. It isnât until you hear a voice one aisle over that you straighten up and tuck a stray lock of hair behind your ear. The voice sounds familiar, so familiar that you find your ears straining to hear it better so you can identify it. Is it an old friend? Someone from SHIELD? You canât be sure, but youâre starting to think it isnât a friend by the way your nerves seem to be rising with every incoherent word that they mutter. You leave Bucky standing at one end of the aisle as you walk ahead, trying to get closer to the source of the voice. Youâre nearly at the opposite end of the aisle when suddenly, the front end of another shopping cart appears and quickly turns in front of you, almost colliding with the front end of yours. You stop abruptly for two reasons. The first reason being so you donât cause a pileup on aisle thirteen. The second reason being because you now see whose voice was causing your heart rate to elevate and your stomach to twist into a knot. Your fucking ex-boyfriend.
           âOh, wow, hey!â The man before you extends the greeting so casually, as if he didnât waste a year of your life with meaningless words and empty promises. He raises a hand to rub the back of his neck, his eyes darting over his shoulder just as a pretty blonde woman steps into view. Oh. âThis is uh, this is my girlfriend.â He gestures to the woman before looking back at you with a wary glance, clearly trying to gauge how you feel about him committing to someone new so soon. The woman offers a small smile and wave as she introduces herself by name, but it all goes right over your head. Youâre frozen like a deer in headlights, unable to tear your eyes away from the piece of shit behind the cart full of organic produce and a questionable amount of wine.
           Buckyâs watching everything unfold from a few yards behind, acting as if heâs still deciding between a name brand bottle of ibuprofen and a generic version of the same. He gives you a few seconds to soak in the obviously awkward social situation as his eyes analyze your body language. Youâre tense, your grip on the handle of the shopping cart is so tight that your knuckles are turning white. Itâs been ten seconds since the woman introduced herself to you and you still havenât uttered a word. Bucky glances to his right and notices the selection of condoms, lube, and pregnancy tests spread over the shelves next to the medication section. He only takes a second to weigh his options: let you continue to flounder in front of your shitty ex and his new victim or offer you an easy reprieve while simultaneously sending your ex into a mental spiral. His gloved hand wraps around a couple of boxes of pregnancy tests and he pulls them off of the shelf, signifying heâs chosen the latter.
           âOh, trying for a baby?â Your ex jokes when Bucky approaches from behind you and drops a handful of pregnancy tests into the cart.
           âNo, itâs just smart to have a few of these on hand when we only ever fuck raw. Do we know you?â Buckyâs tone is calm and even, like heâs just said something completely within the ordinary. It breaks you out of the trance you were in and you blink your eyes as you feel the heat from Buckyâs body enveloping you in warmth. He cages your body between his and the cart, his chest brushing against your back as he places his hands on either side of yours on the shopping cart handle. You donât see the way his lips curve upward into a shit-eating grin as your exâs face falls at both Buckyâs unfiltered words and the public display of affection heâs witnessing.
           âArenât youâŚâ The man addresses Bucky with slightly widened eyes and an unsure voice. You almost laugh at the effect Bucky has on the poor guyâs demeanor, and the fact that Bucky towers a few inches over the man is just icing on the cake.
           âBucky.â Your ex has just realized that not only are you grocery shopping with the Winter Soldier, but youâve also been letting him fuck you.
---
           Your week has been full of unexpected moments, but two stand out in particular. The first moment was when Bucky so calmly chose to play the role of your fake boyfriend at the grocery store three nights ago. Nearly every waking moment since then has been spent replaying it in your head, wondering why he decided to step in and do that for you, why he decided to take such a blunt approach and tell your ex that the two of you prefer unprotected sex, and how the hell he acted as if nothing happened immediately after the interaction was over. The second moment is unfolding right now. Your eyes are locked in on your phone screen as you mull over the text thatâs displayed there.
           Are you free tonight? Would love to sit down and catch up, want to talk about things.
           You donât have the number saved in your phone but you know exactly who it is. Itâs the same shitty ex you ran into two nights ago, the same one who now thinks youâre fucking the Winter Soldier. Before youâve even considered responding, a second message from the same unsaved number rolls in.
           Iâll be at the bar we used to go to, the one off of 83rd street, in an hour. Hope to see you there.
           The way your face scrunches up in confusion at the sight of the two texts on your phone screen piques Buckyâs interest as he steps off of the elevator and uses the collar of his t-shirt to dab sweat off of his neck. Heâs just finished a pretty strenuous workout and had every intention of heading straight to his room to shower and spend the rest of the night in there, but he canât ignore the feeling of some kind of invisible string tugging him in your direction. It was only two nights ago that he pressed himself against you in the grocery store and pretended like he knew what itâs like to have you in his bed.  It was only two nights ago that you became a near constant thought in the back of his mind.
           âDonât tell me he texted you.â Buckyâs voice catches you off guard. You lift your gaze from your phone screen and lean back into the couch cushions, attempting to look perfectly at ease in his presence. Truth be told, youâve been a little on edge around him since the night in the grocery store, but you donât know why. Maybe because he saw you in such an embarrassing and vulnerable moment, in your own personal hell.
           âHe didnât text me.â You lie, watching him carefully as the elevator doors close behind him and he takes the few steps across the room to reach the sectional youâre currently lounging on. Itâs odd to see him sink into the opposite end of the piece of furniture so comfortably, like heâs such a normal guy. You donât think youâve ever seen him sit in the living room of his own free will, and itâs a sight to see.
           âYouâre a bad liar.â Bucky huffs. His expression turns thoughtful as he thinks back to his encounter with your ex that night. The corners of Buckyâs lips curl up into a smile when he remembers the way the guy practically shrank when he heard that the two of you like to fuck raw. âWhat does he want?â Bucky seems to have a sixth sense about this shit, so you decide to go with it and tell him the truth, see where it gets you.
           âHe said he wants to catch up and talk about things.â
           âRight after seeing you with another guy.â Bucky points out, hoping youâll see where this is going. You shrug your shoulders and cross your arms over your chest.
           âI guess so, or maybe itâs unrelated. People break up and then discuss it later for closure sometimes, itâs a thing, Bucky.â
           âSo, youâre going?â
           âI havenât decided yet.â You answer honestly. You watch as Bucky nods slowly, as if heâs digesting the information and deciding what to do with it. He uses the collar of his t-shirt to wipe a bit of sweat away from his neck again, drawing your gaze down to the flexing of his bicep. Youâre quick to avert your gaze back up to his eyes, but the satisfied smirk on his face tells you that he caught you looking.
           âWeâre going.â Bucky decides, sitting up a little straighter on the couch and running a hand through his sweaty hair. The bewildered look that takes over your face says it all.
           âWhat the hell do you mean weâre going? Thereâs no we here, itâs just me.â
           âI meant exactly what I said, weâre going.â
---
           You stand in the garage of the compound, where everyoneâs various vehicles are stored away safely. Your fingers pick at the frays of your black jeans absentmindedly as you lean against a concrete pillar, waiting for Bucky. You know you should just get in your own car and leave without him, thereâs absolutely no good that will come out of letting him tag along for this. Yet, something in the back of your mind is tugging at you to stay and wait for him, to see what might come of this. Looking up at your reflection in the car window a few feet away from you, you take in the sight of your little ensemble. Youâre wearing dark jeans paired with a tight little long-sleeved crop top that shows the tiniest bit of your midriff. You wanted to wear something fairly plain yet something that showed a little skin, so this is what you settled on.
           Unbeknownst to you, Buckyâs outfit for tonight will go well with your own. Heâs wearing dark jeans as well, but with a dark t-shirt and black leather jacket. As the elevator carries him down to the lowest floor of the compound, he has a brief second of clarity where he asks himself what the fuck he thinks heâs doing. First, he went against every rational thought in his mind when he pretended to be your boyfriend in a damn grocery store. Then, he spent two nights thinking about what it mightâve been like if he actually had been fucking you raw like heâd told to your ex he was. Those two nights ruined him. You ruined him. It took less than 48 hours for his mind to become completely preoccupied with you.
           When the elevator slows to a stop and the doors slide open to let him into the private parking garage beneath the compound, his eyes fall on you instantly. Fuck. One look at you and heâs immediately decided that youâre not taking a car, no, youâre taking his bike. Hell, youâre dressed near-perfectly for it. The only issue is that bit of smooth skin you have showing beneath the hem of your little top, heâs not going to take you out on his bike and risk ruining that perfect skin of yours with road rash.
           The ding of the elevator draws your attention to your right, where Bucky is stepping into the parking garage looking totally different than when you saw him upstairs half an hour ago. His messy hair has been washed and dried, his flesh and metal biceps are hidden within the sleeves of his leather jacket, and his neck is no longer glistening with a sheen of sweat. Youâre unashamedly focusing on the way his jeans are accentuating the muscles of his thighs when he starts stripping off his leather jacket.
           âPut this on.â He says as he holds the jacket out to you with one hand, reaching into the back pocket of his jeans with the other to fish out the key for his bike. Your eyes widen as you stare at the jacket in his outstretched hand. Shaking your head, you take a step back from him.
           âWhy?â
           âBecause youâre not riding on the back of my bike with skin showing, itâs not safe.â
           âThe back of your bike? Bucky, weâre taking a car.â You say defiantly, crossing your arms over your chest. Bucky canât ignore the way your breasts are slightly pushed up by the action, a hint of cleavage peeking out over the lowcut neckline of your top. He quickly averts his gaze back to his motorcycle that stands a few feet in front of you both, a sigh leaving his lips at your stubbornness.
           âJust put on the damn jacket.â He says, looking over at you one more time, but this time with a softened expression. You donât know why you comply and take the jacket from him, but you do. Itâs warmed from his body heat when you slip your arms into it and the way it engulfs you and pulls down on your shoulders with a bit of weight is almost comforting.
           The motorcycle ride to the bar, however, is anything but comforting. The only other time youâve ever been so close to Bucky was that night at the grocery store when he cozied up behind you for show. But this felt different. This involved your chest pressed against his back, your inner thighs brushing against his hips, and your arms wrapped around his torso. This felt intimate. It felt the same way to Bucky and he couldnât ignore it, no matter how hard he tried. When he stopped at a redlight in the city, you let your hold around his abdomen relax for a moment. Your hands slid down to rest on the tops of his thighs as you remained pressed against his back, and he was praying for the light to turn green again before one of your hands had a chance to shift and find out how hard he was beneath the fabric of his jeans. He can only blame himself for the torture, since he was the one that insisted you take the bike.
           When you turn onto the right street, youâre quick to tap Buckyâs thigh with your hand, completely missing the way he tenses up beneath your unexpected touch. You use that same hand to point to a small parking garage across the street from the bar that youâll be heading into, and Bucky gets the signal. Itâs only two minutes later that heâs parking his bike on the third floor of the garage and trying to keep his eyes off of you as you stand beside the bike, removing your helmet carefully. Some part of him canât help but think that youâre being so careful because you want to look your best when you waltz into the bar to meet your ex, and he fucking hates it. He has the sudden urge to mess your hair up and send you in there looking like shit. But that urge only makes him think about all of the ways he could mess your hair up. He could grab you by it and pull you against him, he could run his hands through it and rake it into a ponytail while youâre on your knees for himâŚshit. He just volunteered to drive you to the bar to meet your ex. He canât do a damn thing.
           You hand Bucky your helmet and immediately start smoothing down your hair, seeing the look of disdain he gives you but choosing to ignore it. He had no obligation to be here with you tonight, but he insisted, so he has to put up with it.
           âYou donât have to go in with me, I can do this on my own.â You say, hoping Bucky will choose to wait for you in the parking garage rather than go inside the bar with you.
           âWhat are you planning to do?â Bucky asks, swinging his leg over as he dismounts the bike and joins you on the concrete floor. He stands in front of you, slipping his gloves off and resting them on the seat of the bike before reaching under the chin of his helmet to undo the strap there. Your eyes drift to the veins on his flesh hand and golden accents on his vibranium hand as you formulate a believable response.
           âHear him out, give him closure or whatever heâs here for.â
           âWhatever heâs here for?â Bucky repeats your words almost sarcastically, scoffing beneath his helmet. When he pulls it off and rests it on the seat next to his gloves, you can see heâs scowling. âWhy are you playing dumb? Heâs here for you.â
           âNo, he isnât. Heâs with someone else now, and he thinks I am too.â You point out. A low chuckle rumbles past Buckyâs lips as he runs a hand through his hair and starts toward the concrete staircase on the other end of the floor.
           âThatâs exactly why heâs doing this, because he thinks youâre with someone else and he canât stand it.â Bucky sounds so sure of himself, as if heâs experienced something like this before. In fact, he sounds so sure that it makes you wonder if he really has experienced this before.
           âYou think heâs jealous? You saw the girl he was with, didnât you?â You question, falling into step next to Bucky. His leather jacket still sits heavy on your shoulders but giving it back to him hasnât even crossed your mind yet. Buckyâs hoping youâll forget about it and keep it on when you walk in and sit down across from that piece of shit ex youâre here for.
           âShe doesnât have shit on you and he knows it.â His words leave your lips parted and your eyes widening in surprise as he reaches the staircase and starts heading down in front of you. As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them. For the most part, youâve only ever heard him talk about you with an air of annoyance or indifference, but you could swear that what he just said was almost complimentary. If you could see the grimace on Buckyâs face, youâd know you were right. When he saw the blonde in the grocery store, he wanted to laugh at the way the guy had downgraded after losing you. She was pretty, sure, but you glow like the fucking sun even on your worst day.
           âSo, what should I be doing here tonight then?â You ask, knowing Bucky probably has a plan in mind if he came all this way just to witness whatâs about to go down.
           âShowing him that you donât need him, that youâre better off without him.â You reach the bottom of the stairs and step out onto the sidewalk across from the bar. Bucky turns to face you as you scan the area for a crosswalk.
           âAnd how do I do that?â
           âFor startersâŚâ Bucky says, stepping closer to you and grabbing the front of his leather jacket that youâre still sporting, âkeep this on.â
---
           Buckyâs been standing at the bar for the last fifteen minutes, nursing both a beer and an aching jaw. The ache is from how hard heâs been clenching his teeth together since your ex strolled in and took the seat across from you at a little two-seater table across the room. Of course, the guy showed up without his new girl. And, of course, heâs been trying like hell to get you to smile and laugh at whatever half-assed jokes heâs been cracking since he sat down. Bucky knew the guy wasnât after closure.
           He watches with a less-than-pleased look on his face as the guy leans his elbows on the table and rests his hands a little too close to yours, but you donât pull away. Youâre sitting facing Buckyâs direction, yet you havenât once let your eyes flit up to meet his. Itâs infuriating. Bucky strains his ears to pick out your conversation through the din of the usual bar chatter around him. He listens intently as the guy tells you that it was nice to run into you at the grocery store, that he didnât know if heâd ever see you again, that he missed the way you laughed. What a fucking ass. If Bucky remembers correctly, from overhearing gossip among the team, the guy had you nearly head over heels for him, and then one day he pulled the rug out from under you in and instant. He never even gave you much of a reason why. He simply called you up, ended the relationship over the phone, and a week later you heard through the grapevine that heâd met someone else. Why you felt compelled to meet the guy here tonight, Bucky will never understand. He doesnât think the prick deserves even a minute of your time.
           âSo, youâre really seeing someone else now?â The manâs voice is like nails on a chalkboard to Buckyâs sensitive ears, but he continues to focus on your conversation anyway. Bucky has to know how youâll respond. He watches out of the corner of his eye as you push a stray lock of hair back over your shoulder, over the shoulder of his leather jacket, and then you blush. Why are you blushing? Buckyâs heart starts to race in the slightest because he canât figure out if youâre blushing at the idea of you and him being together or at your ex prying into your personal life.
           âYeah, he uhâŚat the grocery store, heâŚâ You stutter through your answer. Like Bucky previously said, youâre a bad liar. The pink showing through the skin of your cheeks darkens another shade as you look away from your ex. Your eyes finally land on Bucky, whoâs now standing at the bar facing you head-on. He holds your gaze assuredly and gives you a small nod, letting you know that youâre saying the right things. Somehow, just making eye contact with him and getting that small nod of approval calms your nerves.
           âRight, I remember. I guess I kind of thought that was a joke.â
           âA joke?â You ask, a bit offended at your exâs confession. He rubs his hand across the back of his neck and lets out an awkward laugh before leaning back in his chair comfortably and taking a sip of his drink.
           âYeah, I mean the guy said you only ever fuck raw. You never once asked me to fuck you raw. It just didnât sound believable.â Huh. Youâre silent for a moment as you sip on your own drink and let your gaze float back to Bucky once more, unaware that heâs just heard every word that the man said. The two of you stare at each other with some kind ofâŚtension in the air between your table and the bar. Honestly, if you and Bucky were actually together in some alternate universe where you didnât find each other incredibly annoying from the start, you think you would love to let him fuck you without protection. Something about it just sounds so filthy and enticing. But when you imagine it with the man thatâs currently sitting in front of you, the man who promised you a lifetime and then kicked you to the curb like a broken piece of furniture, you cringe. No, you never asked him to take off the condom, and you probably never would have. Truthfully, that shouldâve been a sign.
           Buckyâs eyes analyze the two of you as you put on a tight-lipped smile and then relax in your seat, fiddling with the zipper of the leather jacket draped around your frame.
           âIt didnât sound believable?â You ask softly, looking up through your lashes in a way that makes Buckyâs cock twitch, and heâs not even the one youâre looking at. When you do flit your eyes over to him, he can sense the change in your demeanor instantly. Youâre not coming off so lighthearted and timid now, youâre giving off an air that says you-donât-know-who-the-fuck-I-am anymore. âWhen I look at you, I canât even fathom the two of us having unprotected sex. It never once crossed my mind to ask you for that. But when I look at him?â You let your gaze travel over to Bucky once more, and this time your ex catches on. He turns in his chair, scanning the bar behind him until he sees the super soldier leaning against the bar with a smug smile on full display. âWhen I look at him, I canât stop imagining it.â
---
           Buckyâs leather jacket weighing on your shoulders, his body warmth seeping through his t-shirt and offering you reprieve from the wind thatâs hitting you both head-on, his right hand reaching back to grip the side of your thigh as he weaves his bike skillfully in and out of traffic on the way back to the compound. All of those things are mixing and swirling together to create a near suffocating tension. Youâre focusing on keeping your helmet from bumping into the back of his and even more than that, on keeping your mind out of the damn gutter. What youâd said back at the bar, the final thing youâd said before your ex realized he had no chance at getting back together with you, it was true. When you look at Bucky, you canât stop imagining him fucking you without anything between your body and his. You donât know when that started or when it might end, but itâs true. So, you left with him, climbing onto the back of his bike much more willingly than you had earlier in the evening. Not because you wanted to be close to him, but because you wanted to get home as fast as possible so you could get the hell away from him. Where on earth did this new found attraction come from? Why was your mind betraying your body with every single glance in his direction? Fuck physiology.
           Bucky can almost hear you overthinking behind him as he turns off of the interstate and onto a quiet, private road leading up to the compound. Hell, heâs overthinking too. He heard what you said at the bar, and he saw the look in your eyes when you said it. Had you been thinking about him the same way heâd been thinking about you since that night at the grocery store. No, thereâs no way. If you really had been, then you wouldnât have wanted to meet up with your ex tonight. Bucky lets out a breath and slows the bike as he nears the entrance to the parking garage. Neither of you said a word when your ex stormed out of the bar, nor did either of you when you made the walk across the street to the public parking garage and started the ride back home. Itâs been silent, unbearably silent for too long.
           When Bucky finally parks the bike among the various vehicles owned by your friends and colleagues that reside upstairs, it seems as though you canât get away from him fast enough. You swing your leg over and dismount the bike quickly before slipping your helmet off and taking a few steps over to the wall to set it on the shelf it originally came from. Youâre halfway to the elevator when Bucky speaks, stopping you in your tracks.
           âThe jacket, sweetheart.â He says coolly. When you turn around, you see him still sitting on the bike, looking down at the helmet he holds in his hands. It almost bothers you that he isnât looking back at you. He can call you sweetheart but he canât lift his eyes to your face? You let out a deep sigh before walking back over to him and standing a foot away from him and the bike. You strip off the leather jacket a bit reluctantly before holding it out to him. You have to admit you feel a bit like youâre missing something without it on now. Bucky takes it without glancing in your direction, and as soon as you turn on your heel to walk away, you can hear him dismounting the bike and setting his own helmet on the shelf. Youâve just hit the button to call the elevator down to the garage when he decides to speak once again. âYouâre a bad liar.â
           âWhat?â
           âYouâre a bad liar. I donât know much about you, but I know that.â Bucky says. You stand in front of the elevator but you canât tear your gaze away from him when heâs speaking so ominously. You watch him carefully as he turns away from the shelf and faces you, but still doesnât lift his gaze to meet yours. Instead, he smooths out his leather jacket before laying it over one arm and tucking the keys to his bike into the back pocket of his jeans.
           âWhat does that have to do with anything?â You question, crossing your arms over your chest. Your eyes dart back to the screen above the elevator. Itâs still so many floors away from reaching you.
           âI knew you were lying when you told me he hadnât texted you. I donât even think your piece-of-shit ex believed you at first when he asked if you were really seeing someone new, you couldnât even get a full sentence out. Youâre a bad liar.â The words pour out of his mouth with ease, as if he pre-planned the entire speech. When you donât say anything, he finally lifts his eyes to meet your narrowed stare. A shiver runs down your spine, but you blame it on the fact that youâre no longer wearing his jacket. âWhen I look at him, I canât stop imagining it.â When Bucky repeats your words so perfectly, you can feel all of the color draining from your face. âWhen you said that, you didnât stutter, you didnât hesitate. You werenât lying.â
           âYou think I was being honest?â The question leaves your lips with a hint of anger edging each word. Bucky merely shrugs in response, tilting his head to the side as he waits for you to answer your own question, since itâs obvious that he thinks you were being honest. âYou think I look at you and imagine you fucking me raw?â
           âDo you?â Bucky taunts, licking his bottom lip before drawing it between his lips and pressing his top teeth into it. Your gaze darts down to his lips against your better judgement, and when your eyes settle back on his, all you see is a reflection of what youâre sure your own eyes are showing. Lust. He thinks about it. He thinks about fucking you raw. In this moment, youâre sure. In fact, heâs thinking about it right now.
           Your feet start moving before you even have a moment to consider the action, theyâre carrying you straight toward him, ignoring the elevator thatâs just arrived to take you away from him. When you stop a few inches in front of him, heâs staring down at you with a raised brow and building anticipation. He wants your answer.
           âYes.â You breathe the word out. In an instant, Buckyâs dropping his jacket to the floor and tangling his flesh hand in the hair at the nape of your neck as his pulls you into him, crashing his lips against yours. Itâs a kiss that takes your breath away and fills your lungs with a fiery burn, yet you donât want to break for air. You kiss him back, moving your lips to suck along his bottom one as you tilt your head to the right to give each of you better access. Bucky languidly drags the tip of his tongue along your top lip before snaking it lower and letting it delve into your mouth. God, he mightâve imagined fucking you but truthfully, he forgot to imagine kissing you. He never wouldâve thought it could be this good. His vibranium arm wraps around your lower back, pulling you closer into him until his body warmth begins sending tingles across the surface of your skin. Once he has you flush against him, that same cool metal hand begins unwrapping from your back and traveling down until itâs in place to grip a handful of your ass, hard. When you gasp into the kiss, Bucky pulls back and bites down on your bottom lip. Fuck. If you donât stop him now, he wonât be able to stop himself from having you right here in the garage. As if youâre reading his mind, you place both hands on his chest and pull your head back until thereâs an inch of space between your mouths. While your eyes are focused on his pink nose and swollen lips, your mind is focused on what you feel pressing against your thigh. Heâs fully erect, his cock straining against the front of his jeans just from kissing you. You could overthink this, let your mind weigh all of the pros and cons of whatâs happening right now, and then convince yourself to be responsible and go upstairs to your own room, pretending this never happened. But for some reason, your right hand is already coasting down his chest, over his abs, and sliding between your lower bodies. You find yourself palming the outline of his cock, offering him such a perfect amount of pressure and friction that he canât help but lean his hips forward and press his cock further into your touch.
           âIf you donât stop nowâŚâ Bucky rasps, but his eyes flutter closed and he bites down on his lower lip before heâs even finished the sentence, your sensual touch getting the better of him.
           âIf I donât stop now?â You encourage him to say what he wants to say, but you canât fight the teasing smile thatâs beginning to play on your lips.
           âIf you donât stop now, you wonât be able to return all of those pregnancy tests on your next grocery run.â You laugh lightly as you lean in and press a soft kiss against Buckyâs jawline, continuing to rub his erection through the taut fabric of his jeans.
           âAre you thinking about fucking me raw, James?â You tease. Bucky groans before opening his eyes and pulling you away from his jaw by your hair. He doesnât stop you from slowly sliding your hand back and forth along the outline of his cock, but he makes sure youâre looking right in his eyes before he speaks again.
           âRight here in this damn parking garage.â
           Without a single thought in either of your minds, Bucky lets you push your palms flat against his chest and walk him back until he stumbles onto the seat of his motorcycle. In one swift movement, you slip your hand past the waistband of his jeans and boxers and the warm skin of your hand comes into contact with his hard length, without anything between the two of you. Bucky lets out a heady groan and his hands begin moving all on their own, working to unbutton and unzip his jeans to give your hand as much space as possible. As soon as he has his pants undone, you shift your hand and wrap it firmly around his cock, giving it a slow stroke inside of his boxers. When you near the head of it, a bead of precum drips onto the side of your thumb and you smile to yourself as you spread it back over the smooth tip of his cock. What is it about having a man this way that makes a woman feel so damn powerful? Bucky looks at you with a mix of annoyance and awe at the way youâre working his cock so effortlessly yet turning him into putty in your hands. Heâll let you have your fun for now, and then heâll show you that he can have the same effect on you.
           The moment your eyes lock onto his, he slides his right hand along the side of your jaw and pulls you in for a kiss, the taste of your lips and the feel of your hand stroking back and forth along his hard-on is nearly enough to send him over the edge, and he inhales sharply, tugging his lips away from your own.
           âIâm not going to have much use for those pregnancy tests if we keep going like this, am I?â You ask jokingly, as you remove your hand from Buckyâs pants and raise it up to your face. Bucky runs a hand through his hair as he blows out a breath and watches you intently. Your thumb, still a bit shiny and wet from his precum, ventures dangerously close to your mouth. You keep your eyes trained on Buckyâs as you use that same thumb to tug down your bottom lip before sliding it into your mouth and sucking.
           âOh, fuck.â Bucky groans, his rationality fleeing as his own flesh hand delves into his pants and begins mimicking your actions from a moment ago. The way your eyes follow his movements, your pupils blown wide with lust as you watch him touch himself, itâs too damn much for him. He grabs you by the hair once again, in that desperate, needy way that youâre quickly growing to love, and pulls you against his chest, kissing you as fervently as the first time. However, this kiss doesnât last. He pulls away from you in an instant and suddenly, his hand is on your shoulder, pushing you down to your knees. Before you reach the floor, he uses the toe of his boot to slide his discarded leather jacket across the floor to cushion your knees. So fucking thoughtful.
           Bucky stands up with you on your knees in front of him and his bike resting on its kickstand behind him. His eyes never part from your face as he pushes his already undone pants and boxers down his thighs just enough to free his cock from their confines. Your breath hitches in your throat as soon as you lay eyes on it, as soon as you lay eyes on the sheer size of it. Bucky doesnât make a move to stop you as you reach up with both hands and take hold of his length, using one hand to begin stroking it from the base to the tip while your other hand grips his thigh. Your eyes widen at the way it looks even bigger in your hand, which is a mental image that Bucky will probably be recalling every day for the rest of his life. Youâre more than ready to lean in and take him in your mouth, to experience every second of what itâs like to suck him off, but his gentle touch halts your movements. His flesh hand softly cups the side of your face as he lets his thumb caress the skin over your cheekbone.
           âYouâre so much bigger than he was.â You whisper, your eyes traveling up Buckyâs torso until youâre getting lost in his gaze. Itâs true. Your ex wasâŚwell below average in this department. But Bucky? God, Bucky is so far above average itâs actually making you wonder if you can even fit half of him in your mouth. Bucky chuckles lowly before tracing your bottom lip with his thumb, and then copying your earlier move. He slips the pad of his thumb between your lips and watches with hooded eyes as you eagerly accept it, sucking on it gently. Fuck. Heâs so ruined. Only a moment later, heâs standing there with his head thrown back and a string of curses are falling from his mouth as you bob your head back and forth, letting his cock slide along your tongue and brush against the back of your throat repeatedly. Heâs fully lost in the pleasure of your mouth. Heâs so lost, in fact, that when you grip his thighs with both hands and lean into him as far as you possibly can, letting your nose brush against his lower stomach and your throat tighten around his shaft as you gag, he lets out a groan that reverberates through the parking garage and sends a fresh wave of heat straight to your core.
           âFuck, do that again.â He rasps, finally looking down at you as you pull your head back until only the tip is resting on your tongue. A smile plays behind your eyes as you dare to look up at him. He canât help himself. Both of his hands move to run through your hair, encouraging you to do exactly what he just said. You repeat your actions, moving your head forward and taking his entire length in until you gag a second time. But this time, Bucky holds your head still there for two seconds. His eyes squeeze shut as your throat grips his cock tighter and tighter, the sensation bringing him so close to the edge that he abruptly pulls back and leaves only half of his length for you to taste. âJust like that, shit.â Another minute of your mouth doing exactly what Bucky wants and heâs fighting with every cell in his body to delay the inevitable. He wanted to fuck you raw, truly, it was his intention from the moment you admitted you thought about it. But having you like this? Having you on your knees for him, telling him that his dick is bigger than the last piece of shit you were with? God, heâs so close to cumming in your mouth that it almost hurts.
           âIâm so fucking close.â He groans the words out as if heâs in pain, as if heâs holding back because he doesnât want to cum in your mouth. That just wonât do. So, you release him from your mouth with a pop and start working him with your hand as you tilt your chin up to meet his gaze.
           âYou donât want to cum in my mouth?â You ask innocently, looking up at him through your lashes. Itâs the same way you looked in the bar earlier and he feels his last bit of resolve crumbling. He could easily cum in your mouth, but thatâs just not what he needs right now. In that desperate, needy way that you love, Bucky grasps your hair and pulls you to your feet. A whimper leaves your lips as his cock slips out of your hand.
           âNo.â Bucky says calmly, turning you around and pushing your back forward until your hands land on the seat of his bike. âIâm going to give you a reason to use one of those damn pregnancy tests.â
           Heâs swift in pulling down your jeans and panties with both hands, and then lining his cock up with your entrance and making you think heâs going to fuck you. But no, Bucky lets the tip of his cock gather the wetness that youâve been sitting in since you left the bar, and then he begins chasing his release with his own hand. You let out a needy whine, pushing your hips back against him and hoping his cock will just happen to notch inside of you and slide all the way in, but Bucky isnât going to let it happen until heâs ready.
           He has a plan. Heâs going to fill you with his cum first, then use his fingers, his tongue, and his cock to fuck it back into you after. The next time your run into your ex, Bucky wants you to be so fucking pregnant that the guy loses his goddamn mind.

He first met her when he was seven.
The day started off as the same as those that came before; wake up, have breakfast, get ready and head to the east wing of his home to begin his tutoring. Have lunch, carry on with the schoolwork, and be done for the day.
Even after he said his goodbyes to Mrs Mars he was still stuck in a routine.
Day in and day out.
However that day was different because it was Friday. Every Friday his best friend Steve came to stay over for the weekend, every weekend they caused havoc. Not that Winnie or George minded, all week they saw their son miserable until his friend arrived on Fridays at 3pm, not a minute earlier and not a minute later. Sadly that hadnât happened for three weeks as Steve and his ma had to go to Staten Island for a family emergency.
To Bucky Staten Island was on the other side of the world, so when he found out that Steve had to leave for a few weeks - well he kicked off.
He destroyed everything that was in his path, crying and begging his ma to stop Sarah from taking his best friend away. Promising her that if she let Steve live with them that he would be on his best behaviour, forever and ever he promised her.
Once he had exhausted himself out and grew tired the whole house went quiet.
For the three weeks that he didnât see Steve he was quieter, he sulked at his desk and at the dinner table. He was restless, and as the Fridays approached and went by his attitude only grew worse.
Winnie nearly cried in response to hearing Sarah saying that her and Steve would be leaving the next day. Winnie oddly enough found some comfort in knowing that Steve was acting the same way as her beloved James. Winnie had decided that she wasnât going to tell James about how on that Friday he was going to be reunited with his best friend, keeping it to herself and her husband in order to surprise him.Â
A seven year old Bucky made his way in to the kitchen glaring at his mother when she told him that he needed to come with her, they made their way to the front door just as a knock cut through the silence.
âOpen the door sweetieâ she told him, ignoring the glare that was coming from her only son.
Not wanting to be in trouble with his father again he complied with his mothers instructions.
Hand on the door handle he opened the door, the frown he wore day in and day out for 21 days vanished when he sees his best friend standing there.
âS-Stevie?â
âBuckyâ
âYouâre back?â
âI amâ
âI missed you.â
âI missed you too.â
Both Winnie and Sarah watched on as their sons talked and as Bucky pulled Steve into a bone crushing hug - which didnât last long as Steve started to scuffle up Buckyâs hair, then both of them started to wrestle with one another.
âCome in Sarah, Iâve missed you my friendâ They left the two seven year olds wrestling in the foyer.
Their wrestling match came to an abrupt end when Steveâs asthma got the better of him.
He was playing in the backyard with Steve when he felt eyes on him, Bucky chose to ignore the feeling thinking it was just one of the staff members keeping an eye on the pair.
âBuck get the ballâ Steve shouted slightly out of breath.
Nodding he turns to where Steve was pointing, frowning at not being able to see it straight away. âSteve I canât find it!â
âDo that means I win this round?â Steve shouted back.
âNo! Why did you have to kick it so hard?â
âBecause Iâm the best!â
âNo youâre not! Iâve found it!â
Bucky bends down to grab the ball, ball under his arm he stops when he hears someone talking. He knows he shouldnât go and check it out but heâs never really listened to his father, so he drops the ball again and climbs over the fence that separates the woods from his garden.
â-Miss Ladybug come backâ
He watches a girl; a little bit smaller than him with wild bushy hair, the dress she wore was ratty and ripped on the bottom. He notices dirt on her arms and neck and that she wasnât wearing any shoes.
â-Mr Ant that tickles, what have you been up to today?â
âAnts donât talk.â
âYou scared me!â
He watches her spin around to face him, his eyes widen when he sees the dark bruise around her eye and her bottom lip having dried blood on it.
However even at seven years old he likes the bright colour of her eyes.
âI-Iâm sorry. Iâm Bucky whatâs your name?â
âY/n, Duckyâs a weird nameâ
âItâs Bucky not Duckyâ
âCan I call you Ducky?â
âFine. But I get to call youâŚum Bunny!â
âBut my names not Bunny itâs Y/nâ
âMy names not Ducky but Iâm letting you call me that. So Bunny what are you doing?â
The girl waves him over and smiles âLook Miss Ladybug and Mr Ant are friendsâ
âThey canât be friendsâ
âWhy not?â
âBecause it doesnât make sense, Miss Ladybug should be friends with other ladybugs and not ants.â
âThey can be friends.â
âThey canâtâ
âYes the can!â
âWhatever. Why donât you have shoes on?â He asks changing the subject.
âI donât have any, what are you doing here?â
âWhy donât you have any shoes?â
âMy parents are poor.â
âMine are richâ
âOh. I guess you live in that house over there?â
âYeah, whereâs your house?â
âOn the other side of the woods. Itâs super small and poorlyâ
âHow can a house be poorly?â
âI donât know but thatâs what my mama says. Do you want to play fairies with me?â
From where they were stood they called hear Steve calling for Bucky, he watches as her smile fades slowly.
âIâve canât, got to go back to my friend. I can see you tomorrow?â
âOkay!â She beams up at him.
âBye Bunnyâ
âBye Duckyâ
She watches him as he walks away, her tiny arm still waving side to side long after he climbs over the fence.
âBuck what took you so long?â Steve questions from his place on the ground.
âI-I met someone Stevieâ Sitting down next to his friend.
âWhat do you mean?â
âHer names Y/n-â
âHer? A girl?â
âYes a girl. Sheâs pretty Stevie, b-but she had bruises on her face and arms I thought it was mud at first but I got closer-â
âYou met a girl that is pretty?â
Rolling his eyes âstop butting in! But yes, real pretty. I like her eyesâ
âBucky loves a girl, Bucky loves a girl-â Steve sings as he runs around the garden.
âNo I donât!â Bucky shouts as he runs around after the blonde.
The next day Bucky leaves Steve in the living room so he could draw, his asthma had worsen over night so he wasnât up to playing games.
âGo and see your girlfriendâ
âSheâs not my girlfriend!â
âBut you love herâ
âI donât love her Steve! Stop saying that. Iâll be back soon okay?â
âOkay, have funâ
Climbing over the fence he wasted no time in going to the spot he had saw her the day before, frowning when he couldnât see her.
âY/n? Bunny?â
âUp here Duckyâ
He looks up and sees her sitting on the branch of the many trees that filled the woods.
âWhat are you doing up there?â
âHidingâ
âFrom what?â
âThe monstersâ
âWhat monsters?â
âThe worst kind of monstersâ Heâs about to reply when she drops down from where she was perched âthey call themselves the tickle monsters!â
She laughs at his deadpanned look. âHow old are you Bunny?â
âSix, you?â
âSeven. Can I ask you something?â
âOkayâ
âWhat happened to your face?â
âMy father is not nice. He drinks special juice and gets madâ
Bucky stands and watches her twiddle her fingers, feeling bad about asking her that question but he was curious.
âHe gets mad and hurts me, I donât know why but I donât think he likes me very much. Do you like me?â She continues and asks.
âI like you. Youâre my friend Bunnyâ Smiling when he sees her smile.
âIâve never had a real friend before. Your my friend Duckyâ
âI have another friend his name is Steve, he gets poorly a lotâ
âWhy?â
âIâm not sure but heâs greatâ Bucky states as he picks up a twig off the ground.
âWould he be my friend too?â Y/n asks and copies what he did, waving the twig around in the air.
âMaybeâ
âI would like that.â
Y/n took him to her favourite spots in the woods, introducing him to the animals she named. He liked it, liked her.
âItâs getting colderâ he says as they walk around.
âIt is. You should go home, Iâll walk youâ
âWhat about you?â
âIâll stay out later my mama is at her job and I donât want to go home just yetâ
âWhat about food? You need to have dinnerâ
âIâll eat some berries like always, father doesnât know how to cook not like my mamaâ
âYou can come with me if you want, my ma wont mindâ
âIâm dirty but itâs okay. Will I see you tomorrow Ducky?â
âYour smelly too and yeah Iâll see you tomorrowâ
âYouâre smelly!â She giggles.
âIâll see you tomorrow Bunnyâ
âSee you tomorrow Duckyâ
The next day after Bucky, Steve and their parents got back from church he ran into the kitchen to ask the cook to make him some sandwiches. Saying his thanks he leaves Steve once again to go and see his Bunny.
âBunny what happened?â He says as he see her in the same spot they keep meeting in.
One side of her face was swollen with dried blood splatters darted across her face. Her left eye was completely swollen shut and her lip had been split again.
âDucky youâre here! Iâve been waiting agesâ
âIâm here Bunny but what happened?â
âI thought you wasnât comingâ
âY/n what happened to your face?â
âMy father got mad last night when I came home. I like your clothesâ
âI had to go church, why was he mad?â
âHe ran out of his special juiceâ she shrugged one shoulder.
âHave you had any food today?â
âJust a few berries. I wonât be able to play today my arm really poorlyâ
âI brought you some sandwiches the cook made themâ
âYou can eat them Duckyâ
âItâs for you, eat and Iâll take you to my home and have my ma look at your armâ
âI canâtâ
âWhy not?â
âIâm dirtyâŚI donât want to get mud in your home, Iâll be okay promiseâ
âDonât be silly Bunny, eatâ
He watches as she carefully undoes the foil that kept the sandwiches safe, her eyes going up to his he smiles and nods. âWeâll have to take the long way round I donât think you can climb the fenceâ
âIt will get better just like last time Ducky, Iâll be okay. Thank you for the foodâ
âMy ma can help sheâs a nurseâ
âI-IâŚIâll be fine Ducky I swear itâ
Bucky wasnât having any of it. He was going to drag Bunny home to get his maâs help whether she liked it or not. He didnât know why but he felt such an overwhelming urge to protect her, he didnât want her to have bruises on her pretty face anymore or see her pretty eyes sad.
Heâs only known her for a few days and all he wants is for her to be safe.
Bucky watches silently as she devours the ham sandwiches, regret washing over him when he realises he forgot to bring a drink with him for her to have.
âThank you Ducky, it was very yummyâ she says as soon as she swallows the last bit of food.
âItâs okay Bun-â
The rest of his sentence dies on the tip of his tongue, Y/n looks at him with wide eyes, the fear drowns him whole at the monstrous booming voice coming from the other side of the woods.
âY/n! Get home now you bitch!â
âI-I-I have t-to go. Bye Buckyâ she whispers as she stands up on shaky legs.
âBunny come with meâ he whispers back afraid to speak any louder the monster will get him and his Bunny. He leans on his knees to hold her good hand as a way to get her to stay with him and not to go towards the voice that echos over the silent woods.
âI-I canât-â
âGet back here you fucking cunt!â The voice sounds again, angrier and louder this time.
âBye Buckyâ She pulls her hand away and takes off running towards the monster that awaits her. Bucky can only watch, scared for his friend, his Bunny.
The woods fall silent once again.
On Monday after he was released from Mrs Marsâs clutches he runs into the kitchen to ask the cook if she could make sandwiches once again. Saying his thanks he runs through the doors and into the garden and over the fence.
âBunny?â
No response.
Looking up in the trees to see if she was hiding again his shoulders sagged in defeat when she wasnât there.
So he waited. And waited. And waited.
It was getting dark and truth be told he was kind of scared of the tall trees that looked mean and scary in the darkness.
Reluctantly he left, slowly putting one foot in front of the other just to see if sheâll come back to see him, before he knew it he was back at the fence.
Tuesday he did his whole routine and once again asking the cook for sandwiches he takes off to the woods.
âY/n? Bunny itâs DuckyâŚâ
No response.
This time he ventured further in and went to the places Y/n had shown him, coming up empty he made his way back to the spot. The hope he had disappearing when she wasnât there waiting for him.
So he waited. And waited. And waited.
Like the day before he took his time in reaching the fence, however moving just as slower in hopes of hearing her voice.
It didnât happen.
It was Wednesday and like the past two days he repeats his actions. Frustration and sadness are the only emotions he feels when he sees that sheâs not there once again.
Bucky repeated his actions for two weeks straight. On the first Friday he had even took Steve over the fence in hopes that if she senses that he brought his friend with him that sheâd come back to him. Steve thought he was going crazy, honestly. He generally thought that Bucky had made the whole thing up just to mess with him.
It was Saturday and it had been almost three weeks without seeing her. Bucky thought Steve was right about him making it up, he thought that maybe she was his imaginary friend but she looked, sounded and felt so real.
Bucky promised Steve that this would be the last day that he ventured out into the woods to try and find her. After helping Steve over the fence he climbed over and both made their way to the designated spot.
Theyâd been out there for a while when Steve spoke up.
âBuck come on sheâs not realâ
âBut she is. I know she isâ
âLetâs go please itâs really coldâ
He was right, the winter air was getting colder now. Nodding he turns around and helps Steve off the ground, walking back in the direction of his home Steve speaks again.
âWhat did you say?â
âWhat?â
âDid you not just say something?â
âNo what did you hea-â
In the distance he hears the voice that he had been wanting to hear for three weeks now, the voice belonging to Bunny.
âD-Ducky!â
He spins around and his heart drops. Sheâs there, getting closer to him and Steve. Her smile takes up most of her face as she limps as fast as she could towards the two boys.
âBunny!â He says just as he takes off running towards her. His legs pushing him faster than ever before.
Once she was in reach he wasted no time in pulling her into his chest and wrapping his arms around her, just like he seen his father do to his ma.
âSweet Bunny youâre hereâ he lightly pants into her bushy hair.
âIâve missed you Duckyâ
âIâve missed you too Bunnyâ
Steve stands just off to the side watching the scene in front of him. Sheâs real and his best friend isnât crazy he thinks to himself.
Bucky slowly pulls away from her, his smile fading at seeing the damage and pain caused to her face close up. A cough from the side of them have their attention taken away from one another to the blonde standing there.
âY/n this is Steve my best friend, Steve this is Y/n my Bunnyâ
âHi itâs nice to meet youâ Steve says waving awkwardly.
âHi. Will you be my friend too?â Y/n asks shyly, burrowing in closer to Buckyâs embrace.
âYeah but you have to be mine tooâ
âYes!â
Bucky smiles before turning his full attention to Y/n. âBunnyâŚwhat happened?â
âI wasnât allowed to come out. I was naughtyâ
âD-did your father do this?â
âYeah. Hey look I lost two teethâ she smiled baring her teeth, and sure enough she was missing her two front ones.
âWhere did you lose them?â Bucky chuckles.
âI donât knowâ she shrugs with a giggle.
âBunny Iâm going to take you to my ma and sheâll take care of your faceâ
âItâs fine Ducky I promiseâ
âDucky?â Steve questions with a small laugh following.
âHis name is Ducky and Iâm Bunnyâ she says proudly.
âThatâs cute!â
âSteve. Shut up. Bunny come onâ
Both boys have to convince Y/n to follow them and accept help, Bucky notices the limp she has was getting worse as they walked back to the fence and he worries that if they go the long way around sheâs going to be in more pain so he tells his two friends that heâs going to help Y/n over the fence first then heâll help Steve.
Easier said than done.
After struggling to pull himself over the fence for what felt like the hundredth time he gently took Bunnyâs hand in his and marched off as if he was on a mission.
âD-DuckyâŚwhat if your ma doesnât want to help and we canât be friends anymoreâ She whispers as the trio get closer to the huge house.
âShe will help you I promise and weâll always be friends Bunny donât worryâ
Steve opens the door that leads into the kitchen and holds it open for the two, shutting it behind him he follows closely. Ignoring the muddy footprints that Y/n leaves behind her.
The trio follows the sound of music that comes from the living room, when they reach the room they see Buckyâs parents slow dancing to the hum of the song.
Bucky rolls his eyes.
Steve looks down at his shoes.
Y/n watches with a smile gracing her lips, her eyes following their movements.
âMaâ Bucky says loudly startling the couple.
âJame-oh my goodness, James who is this and what happened?â Winnie starts before her eyes land on Y/n. Detaching herself from George she moves closer to the girl.
âThis is Y/n she needs help Maâ
Winnie lands on her knees with a soft thud in front of Y/n, her hands going slowly and gently to the little girls arms - noticing her hand linked together with her sons. âHello sweetie, Iâm Winnie Iâm going to clean your wounds for you okay? Would you like to come with me please?â
âO-okayâ she says hesitantly her eyes going from Winnieâs to Buckyâs who nods and smiles at her.
Winnie takes her free hand in hers and waits for Bucky to untangle his fingers from the girl, she leads her upstairs to the bathroom, speaking softly to the girl as they go.
âThis will sting sweetie but Iâll be as gentle as I can be, let me know if Iâm hurting you okayâ she says after sheâs sat Y/n on the closed lid of the toilet.
âOkayâ
Winnie takes a few wipes from the packet and moves closer to the girl who sits there swinging her legs back and forth. Slowly wiping the ray of cuts that cover the girls face she canât help but wonder who would hurt such a beautiful creature.
âMy son James, he didnât do this did he?â Hating herself for even asking but she had to be sure.
âNo Miss, m-my father is not niceâ
âYour father did this?â Halting her movements she watches as the girl nods. âWhereâs your mother?â
âMama goes to her jobâ
âWhere does she work?â
âI donât know. I havenât seen her in two weeks, do you know where she is?â
Oh how Winnieâs heart breaks.
âI havenât sweetie, does your father hurt your mama?â
âYes. Did you know that Duckyâs my friendâ
âDucky?â
âBuckyâ
Winnie chuckles which causes Y/n to giggle âyou call him Ducky?â
âYes and he calls me Bunny. Why did you call him James Miss?â
âCall me Winnie darling and because James is first name, his middle name is Buchanan but Stevie calls him Buckyâ
âAnd I call him Duckyâ Y/n giggles loudly.
âYou do. Sweetie do you have any more cuts that I need to clean?â
Winnie watches as her face drops and as she scoots further back on the toilet. Clutching her tatty dress a little tighter in her tiny hands.
âI-I can help you Y/n, itâs okay I promiseâ
âYo-you wonât be mad?â
âNo my love I wonât be madâ
Y/n pushes herself off the seat until she stands up, her eyes finding the tiled flooring more interesting as her hands pull the bottom of her dress further up her thin body.
Winnie had to slap her hand across her mouth as she sees the unmistakable light red lines of scars mapping across the girlsâ very thin, bruised thighs.
âSw-Sweetie, i-is there more?â Her heart cracking as Y/n nods again, pulling her dress further up until Winnie had to help in pulling the whole ratty thing off her.
She fights with herself trying to keep the tears at bay as her eyes dart around from one scar to the next. She fights off the thought of how any of them happened out of her head, she knows if she let that thought in she wouldnât be able to sleep ever again.
âM-my father gets mad when he runs out of his special juice. Itâs my fault because Iâm a stupid bitch a-and a worthless cuntâ her eyes go to the ceiling as she remembers the words that her father calls her most days.
âNo no no my sweetie, you are none of them things you hear me? Y/n you are such a sweet girl, oh come here my sweet babyâ Winnie says as she brings the girl into her warm embrace gently wrapping her arms around Y/nâs slim body, pressing light kisses to her forehead. She lets the tears fall freely.
Since Y/n wasnât so use to feeling of loving hands on her she tenses up. She was confused by Winnieâs words and affection all she wanted was her Ducky.
After a while Winnie pulls away, wiping her tears with the backs of her hands she stands up on shaky legs. âIâm going to run you a nice hot bath, it will help. I promiseâ she turns to where the bathtub sat when she felt small hands tug lightly on her dress. Looking down she sees Y/n standing looking scared.
âItâs okay, here take my handâ
Filling the bathtub full of water she lets Y/n pull her underwear down and Winnie helps her into the tub.
âIâm just going to ask George to get some clothes for you and Iâll help you wash your hair okay? Iâll be right back I promiseâ
âO-okayâ
âBucky whoâs that girl?â
âY/nâ he says as he watches his ma and Bunny go upstairs, he starts to follow when his fathers hand stops him.
âI know but who is she? Where did you find her?â
âIn the woods-â
âYouâre not suppose to go out there!â George scolds.
âI know! But I did and sheâs my friend nowâ
Bucky really doesnât understand what the big deal is, okay so he disobeyed his fathers order of not going over the fence but if he didnât he wouldnât have met Y/n.
George sighs and crouches down to his sons level âson what would have happened if you fell or hurt yourself and me and your mother couldnât get to you huh? Listen son Iâm not that mad at you okay, I just worryâ
âI-Iâm sorry dadâ
âItâs okay. Do you know whoâs hurt her?â
âHer fatherâ he spits out in disgust âhe drinks special juice and he hurts my Bunny!â
George is puzzled by what this special juice could of been before it clicks, sighing at the memories of him calling the alcohol that his father use to drink when he was younger comes up after so many years of repressing the memories.
âOh son-â
âItâs not fair dad, why does he do it? Sheâs amazing and pretty and funny and weird and sheâs my friend and sh-sheâs my Bunny-â
âJames breath! Come on son breathe with me a-and Steve, watch what weâre doing. There you go, oh come here sweet boyâ George says seeing the tears fall from his sons eyes, pulling him into his arms he lets his son cry.
He hears sniffles coming from the side of him and he sees Steve crying too so he wastes no time in opening his arms for his unofficial adopted son for him to run into the hug too.
They stay in the hug before Bucky pulls away first, wiping his tears âdad can we go up and wait for ma to finish? I-I want to be with Bunny p-pleaseâ
âOf course, come onâ he holds his hands out for his sons to place theirs in his before moving towards and up the stairs.
George and Steve sit down on the wooden floor as they watch Bucky pace back and forth, his eyes going from the bathroom door to the floor and back again.
âDad whatâs taking so long?â
âIâm not sure son, itâs okay though your mother knows what sheâs doing donât worryâ
âItâs been so long thoughâ
âBucky come and sit down and tell me why you call her Bunny, ay?â
âShe calls him Ducky, Georgeâ Steve giggles and George has to stifle his laugh as Bucky glares at Steve.
âDucky, um strange. So Bunny?â
Bucky rolls his eyes and sits down next to his father âshe calls me Ducky because she said Bucky was a strange name, I call her Bunny because sheâs cuteâŚlike a bunny.â He shrugs, lightly tapping his knees with his fingers.
âI think Bucky loves Bunnyâ Steve tries and fails to whisper to George.
âI donât love her Steven!â
âYou sure James?â
âI. Do. No. Love. Her!â Bucky growls.
âBoys calm down, Steve stop winding Bucky up about him loving Bunny and Bucky just admit you love herâ George laughs which gets slightly louder as Bucky starts hitting him.
âI do not! Thatâs gross! Girls are grossâ
âGirls arenât gross Jamesâ
âYes they are. Bunnyâs yuckyâ
Steve and George share a look full of mischief just as they start chanting âBucky loves Bunnyâ.
âI hate you both!â Bucky says standing up to begin his pacing again.
âBuck weâre only messing with youâ George starts âyour right girls are gross and yuckyâ
âDad can I ask you something?â
âOf course you canâ
âCan Bunny live with us? Iâll be extra good and I wonât ask for anything for my birthday or for Christmas I promiseâ
âI-Iâm not sure son-â
âWhy not? Please dad-â
âBecause she has parents Bucky-â
âHer dad hurts her!â
âShe has a mother?â
âYeah but-â
âBucky-â
âIâll run away and Iâll take Bunny with me.â
Sighing whilst sliding his hands down his face George is about to reply when the bathroom door opens, Winnie waving him over.
âIs Bunny okay ma?â
âShe is darling I just need to talk to your father for a secondâ
âCan I see her?â
âNot yet, sheâs in the bath. George can you go and get some clothes from Jamesâs room pleaseâ
âOf course my loveâ
Bucky and Steve watches as George heads down the corridor and slipping into Buckyâs bedroom, not long after he comes back with a red checkered pants and a woolly sweater and some socks.
âWill this be okay?â
âYes, thank you. How about you take the boys downstairs and start doing dinner? Make enough so that Y/n can join usâ Winnie smiles trying not to look George in his eyes knowing that heâll know that sheâs been crying and she really didnât want the boys knowing that their friend is covered in scars.
âCome boys you can help me, you have to make sure I donât burn the house downâ
Bucky waits until Steve and his dad is a little further down the hallway, turning to his mom he cocks his head to the side. âMaâŚis she really okay?â
âShe will be James, you should be proud of yourself for bringing her home to get helpâ
âYeahâŚMa I already asked dad but can Y/n live with us? Iâll be extra good I swear!â
âWe-I-Bucky please go downstairs and help your father and Stevie with dinnerâ
Huffing loudly he nods and heads to the kitchen.
Winnies heart breaks as the hope vanishing from her sons eyes at the prospect of Y/n living with them. She couldnât lie that the thought of having her in their home where she was safe and protected hadnât crossed her mind, sadly she knew she just couldnât kidnap the child no matter how bad her home life was.
âThese belong to James but you can wear them, letâs get you cleaned up before we have some dinnerâ
After carefully cleaning Y/nâs body with the sponge and lavender body wash Winnie took her time in washing the girls hair, slowly untangling the knots apologising every time she snagged a rough one.
Once cleaned, dried and wearing warm clothes Winnie started on brushing Y/nâs hair, taking her time once again as the girls hair was curly and bushier than before.
âAll done my sweetie. Letâs go and get some food in our tummies, yeah?â
âA-are you sure Miss?â
âOf course, you must be hungryâ
Y/n nods and holds out her hand for Winnie to take, the woman does so with a smile on her lips and leads them downstairs to the kitchen. Steve was the first one to notice Winnie and Y/n standing at the archway he had to blink a few times to make sure it was really his new friend standing there.
âBuckâ Steve whispers towards Bucky.
âWhat?â He whispers back.
âLookâ
âWha-Bunny!â Bucky noticing the blonde staring off so his bright blue eyes followed, landing on Y/n. Dropping the cutlery on the side he rushes over instantly pulling her in for a hug. âYou smell nice an-and your hair isnât wild no moreâ
âI had a bath Ducky!â She beams proudly, hugging him just as tight as he was.
Winnieâs eyes found Georgeâs smiling sadly at her husband as she moves closer to him.
Steve stands there for a few minutes before slowly moving towards his friends and wrapping his arms around the pair.
âItâs called spaghetti and itâs niceâ Bucky says showing Y/n how to twirl her fork around the food, after he had to stop her from picking up the food with her hands.
âIt looks like wormiesâ she giggles.
âItâs nicer then worms Bunnyâ
She soon gets the hang of twirling the spaghetti around the fork and everyoneâs taken back by the fact sheâs the first one to eat every last bit of the home cooked meal.
âWould you like seconds Y/n? Thereâs plenty more leftâ George says already standing up to place more on her plate.
âSeconds?â She asks.
âIt means you can have more Bunnyâ Bucky informs her.
âI-I-am I allowed Ducky?â
âYeah, do you want so more?â
âYes. Itâs very yummyâ
George piles more food on her plate, feeling rather proud of himself that someone likes his cooking - at the weekends the staff have the two days off and normally Winnie takes over cooking, on the rare occasions that George cooks everybody complains about it being burnt or undercooked.
âThank you Mrâ Y/n whispers before digging in again.
Her plate is once again empty before anyone elseâs.
Y/n sits patiently waiting for Bucky to finish, her eyes fluttering around the room looking from one thing to the next when her eyes dart straight to Winnie whoâs sitting there chuckling, Y/n has no idea what is funny but she starts to giggle too smiling widely at the woman.
âDarling whatâs so funny?â George asks from his seat at the end of the table.
âSweetie look at James for meâ Winnie tells Y/n so she does. Bucky bursts out laughing when his Bunny looks at him with spaghetti sauce covering her lower faceâŚand somehow a bit on her eyebrow.
âBunny youâre messy againâ Bucky laughs, taking his napkin and lightly and as gently as he could he starts rubbing the sauce off her face.
âSorryâ
âItâs okay Bun, allâŚcleanâ
âIt just means that you enjoyed your dinnerâ George tells her.
âIt was yummy. Thank you Mr Duckyâs dadâ
âYou can call me George sweetheartâ
After dinner was done, they move into the living room, Bucky helps Y/n onto the couch and he sits next to her. Steve sitting on the other side of Y/n.
âMa, dad can Y/n live with us now?â
âJames Iâve told you itâs not that simple sonâ George starts before looking over at Winnie silently begging her to help him out.
âYour fathers right darling, she has a mama who is probably worried about herâ
âBut-â
âNo buts James-â
âPlease Maâ
âItâs okay Ducky, my father has gone away until Wednesday Iâll be okay and Iâll get to see you tomorrow and the next dayâ
âSweetieâŚwhat do you mean? Whereâs he gone?â Winnie asks.
âHe said he had to go to Mexico for work, do you know where Mexico is? Itâs super far away!â
âAnd whereâs your mama?â
âIâm not sure Iâve not seen her in two weeks Miss Winnie doesnât know where she is, do you know?â
âN-no I donât sweetheart. Is there anyone at your house?â
âNoâ
âWho would be looking after you whilst your father is away?â Winnie then asks.
âNo one, I have to go to my spot in the woods like beforeâ
Winnie looks at George in what can be described as horror. George looks at Bucky who just shrugs.
âThe spot you took me to Bunny?â
âYeahâŚdo I go now Ducky?â
âNo!â Winnie and George shouts causing the three children to jump further backwards in their seats.
âNo, we meant you can stay with us until Wednesday w-when your father gets backâ Winnie says quietly.
âYes!â Bucky cheers pulling Y/n under his arm âitâs going to be so much fun Bunny!â
Y/n giggles and nods.
Winnie tucks Y/n into bed in one of the spare rooms, she sits on the bed looking at the little girl as she brushes her hair out of her face.
âAre you okay sweetie?â
âYeah, thank you Miss Winnieâ
âYou donât need to thank me darling, would you like me to leave the light on for you?â
âNo itâs okayâ
âOkay, Iâll leave the door cracked open a little bit for you, okay?â
âOkay.â
âNight night my sweet girl, Iâll see you tomorrowâ she bends down and places a kiss to the girls forehead. Winnie freezes by the door staring into the darkness as she hears-
âNight night mamaâ
She meets George in the living room where she breaks down crying, telling him what she had saw on the tiny body belonging to Buckyâs friend, her husband holds her and cries himself.
A few glasses of wine later they head to bed themselves, Winnie stopping as she sees Y/nâs door fully shut, opening the wooden door she smiles at seeing her son in bed with Y/n, holding her tightly in his arms.
George comes up behind her, placing his hands on her hips and smiles. Whispering to her that they should go to bed, Winnie closes the door quietly.
âNight night my sweet Bunnyâ Bucky whispers into the darkness, kissing her forehead lightly, he heads off to dreamland.
gimme simon âghostâ riley w a stepmom! reader !!
simonâs daughter had came from a previous marriage that didnât end well. their untimely divorce was due to simonâs deployments. simon decided to take custody of her monday through friday, and his ex wife getting the weekends.
when heâd met you, he knew heâd be in for a world of change. you were sweet, caring, and knew how to make a mean ass dinner. but most importantly, you were so kind and thoughtful to his daughter. anytime you went to the store you made sure to grab her something, or when it was time to drop her off youâd sometimes have the courtesy to meet miaâs mom here and there.
âdaddy!â mia grinned, her short brown hair swaying in the ponytail youâd put it in this morning. she jumped up into her fatherâs arm, mustering the biggest hug a five year old could muster. âi missed ya sâ much!â simon chuckled, pressing kisses to her cheek. mia giggled at the affection, trying to push simon away.
you walked into the room and a warm smile adorned your face. you walked up to the two and kissed simonâs cheek, showing you were now in the room. ââhereâs my wife!â your eyes widened at the word simon used for you. usually, he was never this talkative or hyper, but you guessed mia brings out that change in him. today was a saturday, meaning mia had to be dropped off at her momâs.
simon let mia down, she hugged your legs and you picked her up yourself. âyouâre becoming such a big girl! you used to be so little.â you reminisced. youâd first came into simonâs life when mia was just two, a little girl. âis your bag packed for mamaâs?â you asked. miaâs face fell and she hid her face in your neck. âaww, whatâs wrong?â you asked, sitting on the couch and sitting mia on your lap. âi donât wanna go to mamaâsâŚâ mia replied, playing with your knotless braids.
âwhy is that, sweet girl?â you asked, patting her back gently. âmama is mean. youâre nice, youâre like my mama.â mia says, not knowing the impact those words had on you. âis that so?â mia nodded. âhow about when you come back to daddyâs, we can go out and eat ice cream and go shopping. maybe we can go see a movie too.â you beamed. mia perked up at this, looking jovial. âokay!â and she gave you a hug with all the love she had in her 5 year old body.
you might not be her real mom, but the bond will forever be there.
Warnings: Pregnancy, vague birth talk, mild panic attack, if I missed anything sorry
(Honestly I have given birth in a hospital, but it was complicated so I didn't get to experience a normal after birth situation. So if this is incorrect, sorry!)
Here is part twođ¤ Hope you all enjoy it! It's a bit short, and sweet. I do plan on doing some blurbs/continue eventually. Thank you all for reading!
Part One
Beautiful art/rendering from @ave661
The next few moments are a blur to you both, for different reasons. Simon parks the car in front of the emergency entry, barely allowing for the car to come to a complete stop before heâs out of the car. You barely register as he slides on a black surgical mask when he comes around the car to open your door. Next thing you know heâs leading you inside, talking to a woman at the front desk and getting you into a wheelchair. You are filling out some paperwork as you are wheeled through the hospital, in between contracts that are consistently spaced apart now.Â
Simon keeps murmuring small words of encouragement to you, but heâs scared shitless. Pretending to be brave in this moment for you, yet he feels anything but brave.Â
There are a lot of questions that you give answers to as best you can. Simon can barely keep up⌠there is so much moving around and plans being spoken between nurses. The next thing he knows you are in a hospital bed, donning a gown, being told your doctor should be here within 5 to 10 minutes.Â
âIâm going to check your dilation now, okay?â A young and sweet woman that is apparently your nurse for now speaks up.Â
You just nod your head, watching as she gets the stirrups ready for your feet to go in. Once ready she guides your feet to the correct sport before reaching for a pair of gloves.Â
You glance up to Simon, who is as quiet and still as a ghost. Standing to the left of your bed, fists clenched so tight you wonder if his fingers are going to lose feeling soon.Â
âSi?â You question.Â
That breaks his stone resolve. It was like a switch flipped in him, as he forced his mind to catch up with what was happening.Â
He finally tore his eyes away from the nurse as her hand began to disappear under your gown. When his eyes fell to you and your outstretched hand he immediately grabbed your smaller hand into both of his large ones. Kissing the back of your hand through the material of the mask.Â
âYou âkay love?â Simon was gentle, from his touch to his tone.Â
âYes⌠just a little uncomfortable,â you said just above a whisper.Â
âI bet so sweetheart.â He brought a hand to brush some hair back from your face. âYou are doing great,â he encourages you.Â
âLooks like you are about 5 centimeters dilated! Great news mom and dad.â The nurse tore off her gloves and put them in the trash before typing away on the computer in the room to update your chart.Â
Simon felt all of the air rush out of his lungs. Dad?? How did he not think before that he was about to be a dad. Sure⌠he understood what was happening, but there was something about hearing this nurse call him dad that struck a chord with him. His ears filled with static and he stiffened all over again.Â
You watched as his pupils shrunk, he pulled his hands from you and stood straight as a board beside you.Â
âSimon?â You softly called to him. Nothing.Â
His eyes were trained on the wall behind the nurse who was innocently typing away on the computer.Â
You called for him two more times, watching his chest speed up with more and more rapid breaths. You said his name one more time quite loudly, which got the nurses attention. She looked up at him, staring past her and noticed the signs of a panic attack blooming in him.Â
Simon wasnât in the room with you now, his mind lost on his past.Â
âSir?â The nurse gently started working her way to him.Â
Before she could fully make it to him, a contraction started up for you again. You wailed out in pain, and as quick as Simon zoned out and started panicking he stopped. Hearing your pain pulled him from his dark mind.Â
âSorry,â he muttered, truly embarrassed.Â
âItâs okay sir,â the nurse spoke softly. âWould you like to sit down for a moment?â
âIâm fine, just make sure sheâs okay.â He left no room for argument.Â
Resuming his spot at your side, ignoring whatever that was just happening to him. He gently kissed your hairline through the mask again while speaking to you sweetly until the pain subsided. Once your breath had started evening out your tired eyes fell onto Simon. The nurse nodded at him before finishing typing what she needed and mentioned the next steps that would be happening before excusing herself from your room for a moment. Her words went in one of your ears and out the other for you.
âYou okay?â You asked, squeezing his hand this time to comfort him.
âDonât you worry about me, love,â Simon said apologetically.Â
You gave him a nod, but internally you were freaking out about his reaction. Your mind rolled back a few moments before he started panicking, trying to figure out what happened.Â
Simon has had a few moments in your time together where certain things trigger him, which is beyond understandable. The memory of the nurse calling you mom and dad moments before finally registering with you. That small thought had your heart instantly feel heavy, and not in the best way.Â
You felt your eyes get glossy, this same feeling of shame bursting through your chest. Your mind reminding you how unfair this all is to him, he never got the choice about IF he wanted to be a father⌠hell you didnât even give him a notice that he was going to be a dad. Your brain was all muddled, but the only thing standing out to you is that you canât remember why you never told him. It all seemed so silly now, who cares if you had an argument. Who cares that he was working. It was your responsibility to tell him that you were pregnant, to let him know that he was going to be a dad, and especially to give him the option to be involved or not.Â
You gently removed your hand from his, allowing it to fall into your lap with your other hand. Eyes falling to your lap, unable to stop the tears from falling and trying your best to shield them from Simon. Even though you knew he would notice, how could he not?
âAre you hurting? Want me to call for the nurse?â Simon got the words out quickly, reaching for the button to call the nurse.
âNo.. Iâm okay,â you whispered with a shrug.
His brows frown down at you, clearly you arenât okay. Your small sniffles provide proof of that. Simonâs spine straightened, eyes taking you in as his mind moved a mile a minute trying to come up with a solution.Â
âDo you remember at the apartment, the promise you made me?â Simon asked softly.
You sniffled out a small âYeah..â
âThat if you have something you need to tell me, you will do it. Yeah?âÂ
You nod your head softly before meeting his eyes briefly.
âWhat is it baby?â He asked, hand reaching into your lap and interlocking your fingers together.
âIâm just so sorry,â you respond quietly. âAnd I know you told me to stop saying sorry but I truly am.â
âLove,â Simon began, but you cut him off. âI didnât give you the opportunity to come to terms with all of this. I just sprung it all on you, and-â
Simon knelt beside you, making him eye level with you.Â
âDo I wish I would have known before? Sure love⌠but mainly because I hate you have done all of this alone. It eats me alive. I am supposed to be the one taking care of you, but I was selfish. Never made sure you knew what you were to me. I will never let that happen again, okay?â
âThen what just happened to you?â You whisper. His hazel eyes squint a little, but they never leave yours.Â
Simon was silent for a while which heightened your anxiety. Thatâs when the beginnings of another contraction started. Your hand squeezing Simon as you rode through the pain. You barely register his voice, soft and sweet, talking you through the pain.
âDonât you worry about that sweetheart, but after this. And we have our baby⌠I will be sure to explain everything to you okay? All you need to know is I am here, and I canât wait to be a father to our child.â Simon knew he owed an explanation, but now wasnât the time.
Simon tugged his mask down enough so he could press a kiss to your hairline while using his free hand to wipe away the last few tears from your wet cheeks.
âGood evening,â your doctor enters the room and announces himself.Â
Simon gently clears his throat as he straightens the mask on his face before standing up to take his proper place beside you.
You didnât feel 100% better, but knowing he would explain more. You fixed your mental state as much as you could, you knew this way was about to be the toughest thing you have been through.Â
There was some small chat between your doctor, Simon and you. Talking about the birth plan, checking your dilation, planning the next steps as well as you could. Before you know it you are pushing, and pushing. Simon is next to you the entire time, feeding you ice chips and doting on you constantly. âYou are doing so good, lovie.â - âThere you go, my strong girl, you got this.â - âYou are so perfect, sweetheart.â - âAlmost there love, you are doing great.â
Somewhere between the tears, the pain, the constant pressure and with help from nurses and doctors. You hear cries. Your body feels instant relief, and the joy that bursts across your chest is unlike anything you have ever felt. Your eyes fall to Simon, heâs standing stiff as a board. Eyes never leaving the newborn as the nurse gently cleans the babyâs body as the doctor finishes up with you. Before you know it they are gently laying your baby onto your chest.
âCongratulations mom⌠a beautiful healthy baby girl!â The nurse whispers excitedly to you as she pulls your hands back, ensuring you have the baby.Â
You canât hold back the few tears that fall, âSheâs a girl.âÂ
Your nose taking in her smell, your lips gently brushing her head. A perfect baby girl. After a few moments of silence, you look for Simon. His hands shoved in his pockets, standing to your side, eyes on your baby girl.Â
âWe have a baby girl, Si.â You canât help the smile on your lips.Â
Simonâs chest rose and fell rapidly, taking everything in. He was a father to a baby girl.Â
âSheâs so small,â Simon comments softly.Â
âShe sure is,â you praised. âAnd perfect.â Your finger found her hand, letting it wrap around your finger. You looked at the small amount of hair on her head, her eyelashes, her cheeks, her fingers, just taking her all in. After about 5 minutes of silence, a nurse speaks.
âCongratulations you two, would dad like a turn holding her?â She asked politely as she reached for your daughter.
âHere Si,â you encouraged. Gently handing the baby to the nurse. Watching her carefully as she took the baby from you, walked around the bed to Simon and she patiently stood in front of him.Â
Simon of course wanted to hold her, but she was tiny. He had only really ever been around one baby before, his nephew and he couldnât for the life of him remember him being this small. His blurred eyes took in her features, she was beautiful.Â
âI uh-â he cleared his throat. âI donât know if I can. Sheâs so small and Iâm so-â he gestured to himself. Clearly uncomfortable with the idea of his hulking frame, meant for killing to hold this sweet innocent baby. His sweet innocent baby girl.Â
âYou can hold her, just trust me, you can do itâ you encouraged. âLook at me Simon.â
He almost had to force his eyes from your daughter so he could look at you. Your sweet face, eyes tired but shining happily, encouraging him. You almost took his breath away, beautiful as ever. If you believe in him, maybe he should believe in himself.
âI love you, you can hold her. Look at her Si, our daughter, she wants her daddy.â You swallowed hard, not entirely sure if that is what he needed to hear or not.
Barely a moment went past before he held his hands out towards the nurse. She showed him exactly what to do, she never let go of the baby until she was certain that he was ready. Before you knew it there he was, as still as he had ever been, barely even breathing as he held her.Â
You couldnât believe it, seeing her tiny body being held by such a mass, that is Simon. A singular hand of his is almost the size of her whole body. You felt warmth bloom across your chest watching him with her. The way his stiff shoulders eventually relaxed more. How he leaned into her, smelling her tiny head, followed by whispers you couldnât hear.Â
âI canât believe I have a daughter,â Simon chuckles out with a wet laugh. âI am so proud of you baby.â He then turns to you, âYou did amazing.âÂ
Brown eyes filled with unshed tears hold onto yours that are allowing tears to fall freely. âWe did amazing, SiâŚâ you said truthfully. âJust look at her, sheâs as much me as she is you.âÂ
Simon pulled his eyes back to the sweet baby in his arms. âYeah I guess so, huh?â He could even see that the tiny wisps of hair on her head were definitely the exact shade of his.Â
It was then the nurse popped back up, âAnd what are we naming her mom and dad?â She asked innocently.Â
How have you both forgotten you need a name for the baby?Â
âUh- well we havenât quite decided yet,â Simon answered quickly.Â
âThatâs perfectly okay! No rush,â she responded politely. âLetâs finish getting her and mom all cleaned up. Then Iâll get you to your room. How does that sound?âÂ
Simon looked at you, you nodded at him with a grin.Â
âSounds great, thank you.â He responded politely.Â
The nurse went back to him to grab your daughter, hands out waiting. Only Simon didnât budge. His eyes were solely focused on the baby in his arms.Â
âSir?â She questioned gently.Â
Simon almost startled before looking at her, then down at the baby again, and back to the nurse.Â
âI just need her for a little bit, then you can have her back. How does that sound?âÂ
Simon actually grumbles, no words, just grumbles.Â
Fuck, you love him. âSimon,â you almost laugh. âLet the nurse have her baby.âÂ
He doesnât give in immediately, a minute or so passes before he huffs and gently hands her over to the nurse.Â
âThank youâŚâ the nurse smiles at him. âThe doctor will be right back to assist you with another nurse. Iâll meet you both in your room.â She turns to you. âOkay?â
âOkay,â you say to her, eyes not leaving the baby.Â
A moment goes by and you turn your head to Simon to find his eyes already on you. Nothing but pure adoration for you.Â
âYouâre going to be the best daddy ever,â you whisper to him truthfully.Â
âI can only promise you that I will give it my all,â Simon says honestly. Hand nervously touching the back of his neck. âI only wish to give you both the best life possible.âÂ
Both of your eyes are unwavering, holding each other trying to convey emotions you canât quite say out loud. You arenât naĂŻve, you know this will be hard, of course raising a human together wonât be easy. If there was anyone in the world you would be willing to go through this with, it was Simon.Â
âI know this was all⌠unexpected, but I donât think I have ever felt happier than I feel at this moment. Right now.âÂ
âDitto, love.â You can hear his smile. âDitto.âÂ
