"I’m the Alpha, you’re the Omega” || JemmaAgentofSHIELD & MarvelMuses
Bucky could smell the distress in Jemma’s scent and knew he couldn’t leave her again. Not for a long while at least. Maybe this mission would be the last of the dangerous ones for the team for awhile.
He tried not to think too hard about what he would do if Coulson tried to order him on another mission tomorrow. It wouldn’t end well but he was sure the director knew that as well as he did.
Bucky held Jemma tightly. “I’m here, Jem. We’re safe. Everything is going to be okay. I promise,” he whispered softly in her ear. They stood like that for nearly ten minutes, no one interrupting. When Bucky finally pulled away, he cupped her face in his hands. “I love you,” he said firmly, kissing her gently.
She couldn’t touch enough of him. She wanted to be able to touch all of him, reassure herself it was him and this wasn’t some fevered dream. It might have been just a hour but it felt like a lifetime, knowing what Coulson had asked of him.
She felt wetness on her face as he held and knew she was crying again. She knew he was already worried enough and what he had just been through, he didn’t need her blubbering over it all.
He pulled her face for him to look at it and she stared up at him as he spoke those words. It made her heart clench with happiness and sorrow. She kissed him back, her hands on his wrists. When their kiss broke, she mumbled against his lips, “I love you more.”
Finally it was May who spoke up, “Ya know, we still do have to escape the HYDRA base you two,” she said, looking exasperated. Skye stood behind her, looking shaken. She’d never heard or seen Jemma cry like that, not even after Ward....or even when Fitz had been in the coma.
