Poison for the dragon ask game :)
Hello!! Thanks for the ask! Ask game is here.
Poison: share a snippet that’s all about relationships (good or bad).
Have some Zephyr Kas and Madge hehe. Under the cut as always
“Zee-zee was late for lessons.” Madge pipes up, and adds: “Kas got worried.”
Zephyr whirls in shock to stare at Kas. “You were?”
“I – I wasn’t –” Kas sputters, his skin turning the color of ripe tomatoes. “Auntie asked us to check on you!” he protests, but too late, there’s already a grin spreading across Zephyr’s face.
“You were!” Zephyr crows with delight, pointing. “You were worried –” he turns to Madge, wiping away a fake tear – “look, he actually cares, I’m so touched I could cry!” Madge just nods along. Isn’t it obvious?
“Was not!” Kas snaps, shoving past them to stomp back towards the main road.
Zephyr sprints after him, calling out: “You so were!”
“Not!”
“Were!”
“Shut up!”
“Kas Zayin cares about me!” Zephyr shouts to the sky, hands cupped around his mouth. He just barely manages to dodge a swipe from Kas, clutching his stomach all the while, bent over double from how hard he’s wheezing.
Madge stares at the two of them charging down the road, slip sliding in the half-frozen dirt, Kas chasing after Zephyr, and sighs, fisting her hands on her hips. “Honestly,” she mutters, shaking her head.
Her big brothers can be so silly sometimes.
As the grey clouds overhead part to let sunlight slice through – it seems it won’t be raining after all – she hurries after them with a call of “Wait up!”, cold hands shoved in her coat pockets, Zephyr’s gleeful laughter echoing through the midmorning air.

Indecent Proposal (15.2)
Indecent Proposal masterlist
“We gave you the chance to handle this,” Steve angrily glares at Natasha. “For years we protected you and paid you well. All we asked for was for you to put your dog on a leash.”
“Steve, I told him to stay away from you, and the girl,” Natasha nervously rubs her tired eyes. For half of the night, she tried to convince Steve and Bucky that the nurse at your doctor’s practice has nothing to do with an investigation. “I swear, he’s out of town. Whoever that woman is, she’s not one of us.”
“Oh, we know that she’s not one of us,” Bucky huffs. “She’s a civilian he hired to spy on Y/N and us.” He grits his teeth remembering how scared you were the last time Rumlow stood in front of you. “Five hundred bucks and she was willing to tell him everything he wanted to know.”
“That’s…illegal,” Natasha shakes her head. “I told him to stay away from her, and he hires some woman to spy on your girl. Fuck.”
“Yeah, fuck!” Steve growls. “She’s a junkie, Natasha!” He blonde wildly gestures with his hands. “Imagine, she had drugs with her! According to that woman, Rumlow told her to get information out of Y/N. He instructed he to use the drugs she shoots into her veins to loosen Y/N’s tongue!”
“No,” Natasha sits down to cradle her head in her hands. “How could he do this? I believed he was a good cop. You know, not someone like me who forgot about their dignity and honor a long time ago. All the things I did for money.”
“You’ve got a good life thanks to us,” Bucky huffs. “Don’t act as if we are the big bad guys in this game. Our business is not legal, but without us, chaos would consume Brooklyn, maybe even the whole of New York. We keep the normal people safe.”
“Yeah. The heroes in shiny armor and shit,” Natasha sarcastically says. “It’s just.” She sighs deeply. “If you are a dirty cop, you feel bad sometimes. Especially when you work with someone like Rumlow. And now, I find out he’s even worse than me. I’d never hurt a woman, or an unborn child to get information.”
“You know that we would never do such a thing either,” Steve snaps at Natasha. “We never asked you to hurt people, Natasha. All we asked for was to look the other way or manipulate evidence.”
“What will you do now?” She lifts her head to look at Bucky. “Am I expendable now?” Natasha quirks a brow. She made peace with the fact that she would end up dead in a dirty alley sooner than later.
“You’re not expendable, no one is,” Bucky’s features soften for a split-second. “We know that none of this is your fault, Nat. We only ask you for permission to go after Rumlow. We owe you that much.”
Steve huffs and crosses his arms over his chest. He didn’t agree with Bucky but promised to let him take the lead. Natasha and his husband have a past, and he trusts Bucky’s instinct when it comes to the redhead.
“He dug his own grave, didn’t he?” She replies. “I tried to stop him from messing with you two. He didn’t listen to me, or anyone else. If he only did his job, I’d ask you to leave him alone. But Rumlow crossed one too many times to go after you.”
“Good,” Steve simply says. “We will make it look like an accident.”
She nods before looking at Bucky again. “He’s a man possessed, and I don’t know why. I tried to dig a little deeper but found nothing. Maybe you got more luck.”
“I don’t give a shit about his reasons,” Steve spats. “He tried to get close to our pregnant fiancé more than once. This time, he paid a junkie to hurt our girl to get information. This has nothing to do with an investigation.”
“I know,” she snaps back. “I just didn’t want him to end up dead. Okay! I worked with Rumlow for over five years. He trusted me with his life, and that I’ll have his back. It’s not easy for me to let him down!”
“Enough you two,” Bucky yells. “This is about Y/N and our unborn child.” He spits while talking. “This isn’t about revenge or shit. We need to protect her. Let’s find out why he’s after us in the first place.”
“Anything yet, Jensen?” Steve impatiently paces behind the tech expert's back. “We don’t have all day. I need answers.”
“We need answers,” Bucky sighs. “Jake, anything you can give us to calm my husband down?”
“Hmmm…” Jake adjusts his glasses while staring at the monitor. “Nothing on that nurse, slash, junkie. She got arrested a few times.”
“Let me guess,” Steve sneers. “Rumlow arrested her the last time.”
Jake shrugs. “Yup.”
“What about Rumlow and his past? Why is he so obsessed with us? I get that he wants to solve a famous case, but he’s chasing our girl around town.”
“There’s not much to find out about him,” Jake grumbles. “Nothing exciting.”
“No dirt?” Bucky presses on.
“No debts. No fishy transactions,” the tech expert shrugs. “He has a clean slate, guys. Whatever he’s hiding, Rumlow does it very well.”
“Jensen, dig deeper. Find something. Anything,” Steve says. “We need more information to bring him down. Because my beloved husband told our insider that we won’t kill him.”
“Yet,” Bucky corrects. “I promised to not kill him yet. If we can bring him down without killing him, fine by me. If not…he’s dog food.”
“Bucky, the voice of reason,” Steve laughs. “That’s a new one…”
“Where have you been all day?” You yawn. “I’ve missed you. It was so boring without you around. So…what did you do?”
“Nothing important,” Steve watches you press your back against Bucky’s chest. He smiles when Bucky kisses the crown of your hair. “Stevie and I had a few things to discuss with a business associate.”
“Okay,” you smile at Steve. “Now that you are here, can we have a movie night? What do you want to watch? Or do you prefer sports?”
“We can watch whatever you want, doll?” Bucky kisses your hair again. He moves his hand to your still flat belly, imagining you all swollen with their child. “Right, Steve?”
“Of course,” Steve joins you on the bed. He’s still pumped up, and angry but he’ll try to tame his anger for you and Bucky. Tonight, he’ll let Rumlow live.
Tomorrow is another day…
