I think Robert is realizing in real time that he has a habit of offering loyalty and support to people he doesn't fully trust.... Also, he might have a type.
“Odd to think about the whole thing considerin' we're technically the same fucker at the end of the day. But could give it some time.”
[ Pretty much the same as you said on your answer to mine, gotta get through the fact that it's technically yourself ahaha~ That and the fact that my Bucky has incredibly high trust issues, even with himself oops. ]
he didn't turn to face the other, he just kept reading the comic book he had picked up not even five minutes ago. ❝ ---- you're not that stealthy, you know... ❞ he called out to the other. his ears had picked up the sound of boots on the floor, nearing him, but he knew the other tried to be quiet. after a moment, he placed his comic book down and got to his feet, finally turning toward him. ❝ did you need something, buckaroo? ❞ he asked, though he cringed almost immediately afterward. ❝ oh god, i'm not saying that again. ❞

it had started slowly with bucky giving her a half smile or a nod whenever she was around when he returned from a mission. each one would give wanda butterflies but she just put that down to having an upset stomach from all the snacks she'd been eating recently. subtle acknowledgement of her presence had turned into him somehow finding her whenever he returned and that's when she noticed the pattern starting to form. she didn't want to think anything of it but... it was hard for her not to when seeing him seemed to make her mind quiet.
it was late one night when wanda was up reading one of her books in hopes that it would calm her mind enough to allow her to sleep. she didn't notice it at first, too focused on reading about japanese mythology. the witch missed the sound of heavy boots approaching her room and the man that had come to a stop in her doorway. it took her a few moments to realise bucky was there and her eyes seemed to light up as a soft smile slowly appeared on her features.
she took off her glasses and set them aside along with her book before standing up. she didn't bother to smooth out her skirt before she walked across the room and wrapped her arms around his middle without even thinking about it, face burying into his chest. ❝ you always come back... ❞ she murmured into the fabric of his shirt, the realisation hitting her with the force of a freight train.
@winterbirthed asked : ❛ 10 . a kiss against a wall .
⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ʜᴀᴅ ʙᴇᴇɴ ꜱɪɢɴꜱ. stolen looks when no one else was watching, fleeting touches when they passed in the corridor. there was a palpable tension between the scarlet witch and the winter soldier, there was no denying it. wanda found herself thinking about bucky when she least expected it, her mind wandering to what it might be like to have those hands on her. her thoughts were getting more and more unpure as the days went by. the tension reached a breaking point during a briefing.
the romani couldn't seem to get her mind in the right place, unable to take her eyes off of him and unable to focus on a single word that was said. she finally ended up having to excuse herself so she could compose herself. wanda walked down the corridor slowly, running a single ring adorned hand through her long dark tresses. she suddenly found her back against the wall and she instantly recognised who was holding her there.
❝ bucky... ❞ she breathed out, his name a lilting melody wrapped in her prominent accent. her gaze dropped to his lips for a second before she met his again and she stopped hesitating. elegant arms wrapped around his neck and she closed the space between them, eyes fluttering closed as she poured all of her pent up frustration into the hungry kiss.
It had been a rather long day for Johnny. Earlier on in the day, he and Ben had gotten into a rather heated argument, all stemming from the big guy not taking a joke and so to cool off, he had left. Most of his day had then been spent just flying around the city, looking for any sort of crime that needed stopped or any sort of help he could give.
It was getting late now however and as much as he would have liked to keep flying, his energy was starting to run low. Since he was still in a mood with the thing, he figured why not go see one of his favourite guys. It didn't take him long to reach Bucky's place as he flamed off, just as he entered the open window to the winter soldier's place.
Without much of a warning to the other, Johnny slid his way over the older gent's lap, eyes looking at the other before he move closer, pressing his chest against the other for a hug.
"Can't a guy come visit his favourite war hero every once and a while?"
HE COULDN'T HELP BUT smirk. roy was well aware, had heard it enough to know. hell, he worked for his ass enough to know. “ nice face. i'm sure it'd look a lot better with me on it, though. ”
kissing or sitting, either way the point was there. granted, yes, he did have a preference. that just depended on how the night shook out.
The door opened with a loud crack, messy bodies crashing against it as they reached her apartment. That date went well, but they both knew it wasn't their talk that fascinated both of them, but what would happen after dessert. He walked her back to her place, looked up a the Sherwood Florist fluorescent lamp that meant they arrived at destination. A few lames jokes from Dinah, a lot of flirting from him, &... she was pulling him by the collar with all the strength in the world for a passionate kiss.
Perhaps she liked him better when he wasn't talking. She closed the door with an expert kick, his hands all over her body, her floral dress being the light barrier between their skins. "That date was terrible..." she muttered against his lips, feeling herself hot, fingerprints burning her skin for more. She was sure he replied something, but nothing relevant in this exact moment.
He unbuttoned his shirt, while she shrugged off of her own leather jacket, her blue light eyes landed on his bulge. He smirked, proud of himself. ( why did she always fall for those stupid dirty batboys ? she hated herself for it. babs better not know about it ).
"Good girl, take it all." Another damn smirk of his. The blonde blinked slowly, stepped closer & dropped his crotch, feeling him getting harder every second. She hoped he would soon figure out she wasn't some innocent brainless blonde. "Like that, huh ?" She tilted her head, squeezed slightly, then zipped down his jeans. Dinah might be small, she knew he would follow her gestures ; she led him to her couch & pushed him down ( it had seen way too much already ).
She took a step back to watch him, teeth coming to bit her lower lip with some satisfaction, & a bright light in her eyes. Hands reached under her dress, the second later her knickers were down her ankles. She proceeded slowly, still with passion & anticipation, but she wanted it to be intense. She straddled his lap.
She was ready & from the way it stood... he was too.
