okay but with your latest FI blurb, when Ari comes looking for you and finds you all wrapped up and Bucky, and he tries to carry you off to bed but you snuggle more into Buck, quietly murmuring, “no, you left me.”
tasteful angst to fluff !!
After trying and failing a few more times to take you away, he leaves and you burst into tears, all sad and feeling forgotten, at least Bucky is there to comfort you !! but deep inside, you know you want to back to Ari and eventually leave him and sneak into Ari's bedroom, seeing him still awake and watching a movie.
"C-Can I... May I come in, please?" You sniffle, nervously twiddling your fingers.
Ari can never stay mad at you, especially because it's his fault too. "Of course, duck. I was waiting for you." He opens up his arms and you quickly shuffle into his hold, snuggling into his bed and breathing in his scent. "I know you can't go to sleep without saying goodnight."
"Yeah, uhm 'm sorry." You blink up at him, those tears coming back. "You left me, and I had no one. Bucky came and he's so nice—"
"Oh, baby, I'm sorry." He pulls you close, kissing the top of your head. "I'm so sorry I made you feel that way. You're my best girl, you know that? I love you more than anything." For all the sinful reasons.
"I forgive you, but the guys... I don't wanna talk to them tomorrow."
Ari hides his smile, your grudges never lasted long, he doubts you'd last until the afternoon. "That's okay, duck. I'll be your messenger, yeah? You don't even have to look at them." He covers your eyes, making you giggle. "I'll just guide you around like this, that way they don't burn your pretty eyes with their gross faces."
"Not gross! They're handsome!"
"Handsome, huh? Then, what about me?" He crawls over you, both his hands braced on either side of your head. "Am I handsome, duck?"
He loves watching you get all nervous and flustered, avoiding his close gaze by staring at the ceiling.
"Y-Yes... you know it..."
"Mhm, but I want to hear you say it."
"You're—You're h-handsome..." You barely manage, squirming under him. "You're pretty... super pretty... okay?"
Ari smirks proudly, "Okay. But you're prettier. The prettiest gal I've ever seen."
hey baby did you do a drabble about a reader getting her princess parts checked by her very caring step!bro?
hmm maybe !! It could be on the fraternal instincts masterlist (or the drabble tag: fi drabble), or my stepbro!curtis fic/tags. I also wrote a little drabble about bunny!reader getting checked by Hunter!curtis (on the masterlist)
