Landcaster Legacy Gen 7 Update #65
Dear Diary, There's a big charity gala I'm catering for tonight. I'm really not looking forward to serving a bunch of rich people tiny food on platters, but we need the money. Jenna picked up the shift with me, so I guess it won't be too bad. I don't know if I should ask Lacy to help though. -Violet
Violet's desperation for rent money won out, so she decided to ask Lacy to join in their catering job later. "So, my boss said we could use another person, and we definitely need the money, so what do you say?" "Absolutely not." "Are you serious right now? You aren't even trying to help with rent."
"I am!" Lacy protested. "I haven't found any good roles to audition for yet." "What do you mean? There are plenty of auditions out there. I saw one posted for a salty suds commercial just the other day." "Salty suds, really? I don't do commercials, I'm Lacy Landcaster, remember?" "This isn't gen 3!"
"Duh, but I'm a lead actress. I've been in blockbuster films; I can't do shitty little commercials." "Nobody knows who you are anymore!" Violet exclaimed. "If they find out I brought the real you back from the dead we'll get in big trouble, as far as anyone is concerned, you're a nobody right now."
Violet took a deep breath before continuing. "Look, I know you're talented, and you're used to getting whatever roles you want, but you're going to have to start from the bottom and work your way up just like everyone else does. Please, Lacy." "Fine, but I still won't help cater tonight."
Meanwhile, Jenna was out on a lunch date with Marcus, her soon to be boyfriend, at least she hoped. "So, yeah, Violet and I will be catering for the Reed family charity gala tonight." "Good luck with that, Whitman Reed is an asshole. I've had to work with his company before, it was a nightmare."
"Most unprofessional man I've ever met. Your friend Violet though. She's the one who's trying to do the whole singing thing, right?" "Yeah, why?" "I have a buddy who owns this bar downtown. They do open mic nights every Saturday. She might wanna perform sometime." "I'll let her know, thank you."
As the gala began, Jenna and Violet were both assigned to tend the bar. "You could make it a regular thing, playing at this bar every Saturday." "But who will even hear me?" "Violet, you never know who could walk into that bar. You can't be afraid to at least try. Your music is great, trust me."
"You have a point," Violet decided. "I guess I should get some songs together so I can perform next week." "That's the spirit," Jenna's attention caught to the man who sat down at the bar. "What can we get star-âŠOwen?" "What are you doing here?" Violet's eyes narrowed. "Having a terrible time."
"No, uh, Maggie's Dad is the host of this whole thing," Owen clarified. "What a shame for you," Violet muttered "Is it just the two of you here tonight orâŠ" Owen trailed off. He had to admit, it was nice to see a familiar face. "Lacy's not here if that's what you're trying to ask," Jenna clarified
Owen's face fell, "I wasn't trying to-" "Don't lie," Jenna said "She's probably out at some club partying," Violet told him. "When I asked if she wanted to join, she said no." Owen let out a small laugh, "If I don't remember, the roles were reversed in high school. Lacy used to be the sensible one."
"Well sometimes people grow up," Violet pointed out. "How's uni?" Jenna asked. "Fine, I'd rather be third wheeling Nat and Leo this weekend though. Maybe finish my term-" "Baby!" a shrill voice rang out from behind, and Owen tensed "Where's my cocktail?" "I was just-" "Conversing with the help, ew."
"Let's head back to the table. There are far more important people to talk with," Maggie grabbed Owen's hand to pull him from the chair. "I'll talk to you guys-" Owen was cut off "Come, come," Maggie chided and began to pull him away. She glanced once over her shoulder, "I want my cocktail, pronto."
"Alright, one cocktail made specially for-" Violet was cut off. "What's this?" Maggie demanded sanding up. "Mags, don't," Owen said clearly defeated. "I wanted a sparkling water; how dare you get my order wrong are you incompetent?" "You ordered - agh!" Maggie threw the drink into Violet's face.
"Maggie, you said cocktail, I was there!" Owen tried to defend Violet, who maybe had never been the nicest to him, but she didn't deserve this. "Baby, we've been over this, you have selective hearing sometimes," Maggie turned her attention back to Violet. "And maybe this will teach you a lesson."
"Hey!" Jenna exclaimed coming out from behind the bar. The floor, still slippery from the drink Maggie had just thrown, fell out from beneath Violet's feet as she tumbled towards the ground to the sound of not only Maggie's laughter, but that of everyone else in the room.
"Violet, are you okay?" Owen knelt down to check on his sort of friend. "Fine, just a little disoriented," she clarified. "I'm so sorry," Owen tried to help her up, but Violet shoved his hand away. "Just let me finish this night in peace, please." "That'll teach her," Maggie scoffed.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Jenna asked for what felt like the millionth time. "I'm fine, just ready for bed," said Violet. "What happened?" Lacy turned from where she'd been watching a movie on the couch. "Just Magnolia Reed and that stupid gala," Jenna told her. "Wait, I thought you'd be partying"
"I stayed in tonight," Lacy said with a simple shrug. "Wait, if Maggie was there, then Owen was too?" "Well, yeah he was," Violet said hesitantly. "Do you regret not coming now?" Jenna asked. "I would have punched Maggie Reed on your behalf, Vi," Lacy told her. "Still will if you want." "It's okay."
"Well, I'm going to head to bed," Lacy said. "See you two tomorrow." "Goodnight," both Jenna and Violet's voices echoed off the walls as Lacy headed back to her room. Despite her tiredness, Lacy found it difficult to fall asleep. Too many thoughts rattled around inside her head.
If she was being honest, there was a large part of herself that deeply regretted not going with Jenna and Violet tonight. If only so she could have seen Owen, just one more time.

No Such Thing (4) - Bucky Barnes
Series summary: Youâve been assigned to write a column for your school paper on the teamâs spectacular running back. You donât care very much for your universityâs football team; you just canât understand the hype, okay? Turns out your distaste for football bigheads was exactly on point: James Barnes is insufferable.
Pairing: college!Bucky Barnes x female!Reader
Word count: 3.2k
Warnings: enemies to lovers, pretty sure that's it.
SERIES MASTERLIST | MAIN MASTERLIST | Follow my notification blog @sanguine-marvelâ for fic updates!
****
"So what exactly were the circumstances that led to you landing directly on top of him?"
"Okay, that is not a question on my flashcards."
Nat set down the pile of note cards, shrugging. You pointedly didn't meet her gaze, not wanting to encourage her. Â
"I'm just saying. It took you a worryingly long time to actually get off of him. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you weren't in any rush."
You looked up from your laptop, mouth twisted.
"It didn't take me a worryingly long time. I was cold and Barnes offered no support whatsoever, besides snarky comments. For a supposedly well-muscled, star athlete, he sure crumbles like feta."Â
"So now he's well-muscled?â She raised a perfectly groomed brow. âI thought his face made you ill."
"Well, yeah. But I have eyes. Barnes has the physique of a football player, so what?"Â
"I see. And what exactly constitutes such a physique?"
"Broad-shoulders, big arms, bulky thighs. Don't you know? You're dating one after all."
"No, I know what they look like, I just wanted to see if you did too."
"Are you going to quiz me? And not on football players. I have a paper to work on if you're not going to help me study."
"We've gone over these a dozen times. Give your brain a break, will you?"
You sighed, expelling the breath slowly, then shut your laptop and set it aside, stretching in your seat.Â
"Anyway, I thought you were done with finals.âÂ
"Nope,â you sighed. âSome professors don't believe in the unofficial courtesy of not assigning ten page papers during the end of football season. Little goblins."
"Come take a walk," she cajoled. "You've been cooped up in the library cramming all week."
"It's thirty degrees out, Natasha."
"Fresh air! Then I'll make you my mom's hot apple tea."
"I think it's a dirty trick to use hot drink bribery against me," you announced, already packing up.Â
"Yes. I'm a bad, bad lady who exploits your iron deficiency."
"You are," you agreed, following her outside. "But I'll allow it."
"Hey, honey!"Â
Sam jogged up the library steps before you could make it down, catching Nat in a brief kiss and rubbing her shoulder.Â
"Hi," she returned, smiling up at him. "We were just going for a walk. Care to join?"
"Sure you should try that, Y/N?" Sam asked, grinning brightly. "I think my grandma might have a spare walker you can borrow."
"Et tu, Sam? Is there anyone that pumpkin head didn't tell?"
"Pumpkin head. Interesting. Nat actually told me."
"Nat!"
"What? You slip, Bucky catches you, and you expect me not to tell anyone?"Â
"I'm lucky I didn't break anything," you pouted.Â
"Yeah, I think landing on him mitigated all possibilities of that."
"She landed on him?" gawked Sam.Â
"Oh, yeah. Full body contact."Â
"I'm right here," you huffed. "You're making it sound lewd. Falling onto him was unpleasant."
"Is that so?" Nat hummed. "Even with his football physique?"
"I'm going to the dorm," you announced, sticking your nose up. "Some of us have work to do."
"What about our walk?" she protested.Â
"It's drier than a Triscuit out here, Natty. Any more fresh air and I'll probably get a nosebleed. I'll catch up with you later."
"Alright, but take a break, seriously."
"Yeah, yeah," you shrugged her off, beginning to walk in the opposite direction.Â
"I can text him if you need an escort back!"
"Watch it, Wilson!"
You made it back to your dorm (without slipping, thank you) faster than usual with finals winding to an end. The hall was empty, save for the hulking blond standing in front of your door.Â
Wait a second. You knew that hulking blond.Â
"...Steve?"
His head snapped to you and he rocked back a couple steps, wringing his hands slightly. Â
"Hi, hey. Y/N. Uh, sorry. I wasâNat said I should come here for my jacket, I was just about to knock. This probably looks weird, like I was just waiting, but I wasn't! UmâŠ"
"Dude, relax," you laughed, unlocking the door and waving him inside. "Come on in. I'll get your jacket right now."
Steve followed you, gently shutting the door behind him. You went to fetch the jacket that had definitely seen better days, handing it to him with a grimace.
"I really did try to get all of the ink out," you sighed, frowning at the spots of faded blue along the sleeves and collar.Â
"Don't worry about it," he assured with a smile. "I heard they're planning on redesigning next year's. We'll probably end up getting new ones anyway."
"Well, thank you again. It was nice, what you did."
"Of course. I'm glad you're okay," he smiled.Â
"Yeah. And the, um, ocean thing was thoughtful as well."
You glanced at him, watching curiously. But Steve only cocked his head.Â
"Ocean thing?"
"Ah, never mind. D'you want something to drink? Nat makes the fancy teas and stuff but I think I can manage some Swiss Miss if you're interested."
"Oh! I was actually going to ask you if you maybe, uh, wanted to go for a cup of coffee? Or tea, or something, it doesn't have to be coffee. If you're not busy. I understand, of course, ifâ"
"You're pretty endearing, you know that?"
His lips pulled up bashfully, ears tinged pink.Â
"Heh. Thank you."
"Coffee sounds great. The one on-campus?"
"Actually, there's a place just across the street that I'm a regular at. Their donuts are incredible. If you're up for it?"
"Definitely. I never turn down incredible donuts."
"Oh, good," he grinned, visibly relaxing.Â
"Did you think I'd turn you down?" you asked.Â
"Well, I mean... maybe. I know we haven't interacted much and I didn't want to assume something that's not there."
"Nah, you're not," you assured, locking the door behind you. "I like you, Steve."
"I like you too, Y/N," he returned with a broad grin.Â
The cafe was an old brownstone building with bookshelves and cozy couches with throws that had owls crocheted on them. It was considerably less crowded than the regular place on campus and smelled like cinnamon and coffee grounds.Â
"This is so much nicer," you commented as you and Steve took a seat. "Way cozier than the other place."
"Yeah, I'm really grateful we found it early on. Their muffins are life-savers after a hangover. Not-not that I get a lot of those. It's just once in a while, you know."
"I get it," you chuckled. "With a friend like Barnes, it's probably inevitable."
"Yeah," Steve said quietly, smiling slightly. "He's the one who discovered this place, actually, in freshman year. We've been coming here ever since."Â
"Well, he's got taste,â you allowed. âThat's all I'll give him, though."
"Right. I, ah, heard about your ice incident."
You sighed, rolling your eyes.Â
"Seriously, was it on the five o'clock news?"
He laughed, shaking his head.Â
"Word gets around, is all. That ice is no joke, though. They usually put frost covers on; I guess they weren't expecting freezing rain last week. Good thing you werenât hurt."Â
"Yeah, thank you! Not like I've got ballerina balance. Some of us slip on ice."Â
"They should've warned you at the very least," Steve agreed. "But, um, the lines looked great. Very clean."
"Thanks, man. At least someone appreciates my hard work."Â
"Yeah, definitely. If no one did that, we wouldn't have a field to play on. Speaking of, uh, I know you said you're pretty set on not going to any games, but⊠do you think you'd reconsider?"
"Not you too," you snorted. "I think you're the fourth person to suggest I attend this month."
"No pressure," Steve assured, holding his hands up. "Just⊠it'd be really nice to see you there, that's all."
"Mm, probably not. Sorry. It's just not my thing. I get really cold."
"Fair enough."Â
"Do you think you're going to win this one?"
"Honestly? Not to toot our own horn or anything, but I kinda do. We've done really well this season. I think it's going to be a great game."
Steve chewed his lip, shrugging a shoulder.Â
"Sure hope I didn't just jinx us."
"I doubt it. I bet you guys'll win too," you stated confidently.Â
"Thanksâoh."Â
His phone began to buzz and Steve took it out, shaking his head.Â
"I'm sorry about this⊠and, it's my ma.â He sighed. âBad timing. Do you mind if Iâ"
"Go for it, no worries."
"Thank you. Sorry," he said again earnestly before getting up.Â
You leaned back in your chair, peacefully sipping your tea. They made matcha a thousand times better than the place on campus. You would definitely have to bring Nat here.Â
You twisted around in your seat, trying to catch a glimpse of Steve. He didn't go outside, did he? He would be the type to take a call in thirty degree weather out of politeness. You craned your neck, squinting to find him.Â
"Are we sure you're not the stalker here? âCause I havenât seen you here once before today."
You startled in your seat, quickly setting down your cup to avoid a spill.Â
Bucky wasn't wearing his hideous varsity merchandise today, instead clad in a black leather jacket, pulled snug around his biceps and chest. He slid into Steveâs chair with his own cup, posture easy, eyes half-lidded like a jungle catâs. You felt your eye twitch.
âNo. Mm-mm. Nope. Not today. Shoo, fly.â
âThere's nowhere else to sit," he shrugged, despite the half-empty cafe. "I promise I won't go near any ice. I know you're still getting the hang of balancing on two feet."
"Iâm going to put this in very simple terms for you, Barnes: Piss. Off.â
"Don't you want company? Sipping matcha all by your lonesome?"
"Actually, that seat is very taken. I've got great company, thanks."
Bucky leaned back, evidently just now seeing the simple coffee and cream with a glazed donut in front of him.Â
"Oh?"Â
A grin crept onto his face, looking you up and down like heâd just won the lottery.Â
"Oh, sweetheart. Are you on a date? Did he bolt already?"
"What? No, I'm just out for coffee. With Steve. So if you don't mind, not that I care if you doâ"
"Our very own Steve? Now I know you're on a date. Look at you, scoring with Stevie. No wonder he was so secretive this morning, that sly rascal."
You could feel your face growing hot, lips pursing.
"We are not on a date, Barnes. Steve just asked if I wanted coffee. We're getting to know each other, as friends, although I wouldn't expect you to know anything about that since you've probably never gotten to know anybody of the opposite sex without prior expectations."
Bucky chuckled, and you folded your arms. He sobered then, lifting a brow. Â
"You're serious? L/N, you can't possibly think this is just coffee."
"No one ever said it was a date. Weâve only spoken, like, twice."
"Alright," he shrugged. "It's not a date."
"That's right, it's not."
"So Steve wasn't all bumbling and nervous like he's been his entire life around pretty girls he likes?"
"Iâwhat?"
"And he didn't sit you at a table instead of one of the armchairs like friends would?"
"Maybe he just likes tables better."
Bucky narrowed his eyes, smirk pulling at his mouth.Â
"You willing to wager on that?"
"Uh, no. I'm not willing to bet money on anything with you, Barnes."
"Not money. Somethin' else.â
âIâm not gonna kiss you.â
He chuckled at that, startled.Â
âIt's sweet you're thinking of me, but I ain't that big of a scoundrel, honey,â Bucky winked. âNo, how about⊠how âbout this: at the end, if it turns out to be a date, you have to come to my game. Last of the season. And you've gotta stay the whole time."
You snorted.Â
"I'm not agreeing to that."
"Because I'm right."
"Because it's stupid."
"You know I'm right and that I'll win. I understand."Â
"I am not afraid that you may be right for the first time in your life."
"Then?" he prompted.
You glanced around, checking to see if maybe Steve was listening in secretly from under a table.Â
"Alright. But I want something if I win."Â
Bucky's answering grin was a little too proud for your tastes.
"Lay it on me, L/N. Keep in mind that I would like to remain a student at this school."
"Okay, umâŠ" You scrunched your forehead in thought.
"This year would be nice," Bucky sing-songed.
"Shut up, I'm thinking."
"Oh, I know. I can hear the hamster spinning on its wheel from here."Â
"Asshole. Okay, I got it. If I win, then you have to scrub the field after the last game."
"Really? You don't want me to, I dunno, streak through the park? Make me shave my head?"
"How is that a good deal for me? Half the people here have probably already seen your ass anyway, Barnes."
"It just seems kinda tame for you, L/N. Not going soft on me, are you?"
"As if. Scrubbing paint from turf is no joke. Especially after a night of getting tackled to the ground."
"Huh. I stand corrected. Clearly, youâve put some thought into this. Itâs a deal, then. Shake on it."
"If you spit on your hand, I'm leaving."
"It's a bonding ritual," Bucky informed you, gently taking your hand into his larger one, warm, callused, and slightly dry from the cold.Â
"And no reneging when I end up being right," you added, pulling away.
"I would never.â He gave a three-fingered salute. âScout's Honor."
"You weren't a Scout."
"Oh, sure I was. Till Steve got us both kicked out."
"Right. Steve. Sure."
âItâs true. Heâs a rebel-rouser. You go with him, youâre chasing trouble. But Iâll give you my blessing anyhow.â
"Steve is just being friendly. You're going to be wrong and I'm going to laugh in your face."
"It's nice to see you're such a good sport, L/N."
"Now where's the fun in that, Barnes?"
"So you are having fun. Well, I am delightful; it's no wonder."Â
You rolled your eyes.Â
"I don't know why you're so set on this being a date. I mean, you were the one who said Steve would never go for me in a million years."
"I can hardly wrap my head around it, actually. I personally suspect witchcraft, but I can't rule out the possibility that I've fallen into an alternate universe."Â
"Nah. If I were a witch, I'd have turned you into a frog already," you shrugged.Â
"Know what? I think I could make it work. The first amphibian athlete."
"Now that's a story," you snorted.Â
"Nope, sorry. It's already copyrighted. Find your next bestseller somewhere else."
"You'd only butcher it, Barnes. Leave the story-writing to me."
"Fine, but I want ten percent royalties."
"Oh, keep dreaming. You get four."
"Eight!"Â
"Six and a half," you decided. "I'm feeling generous."Â
"Then I want a dedication page. 'To Barnes, the handsomest, most talented football all-star I know, whom I owe all my success to.'"Â
"Yeah, you know, if football doesn't work out, you could have a very promising career as a court jester."
Bucky nodded, looking over your shoulder.Â
"Lovesick golden retriever, twelve o'clock."
"Huh?"
"Hey, sorry about that. My ma wanted to know about holiday plansâŠ" Steve trailed off as he neared the table, looking between you and Bucky.Â
"He sat here on his own," you said quickly, suddenly aware of how Bucky sitting across from you in a cafe might appear.Â
"Buck, what're you doing here?"
"Getting coffee, Stevie; what's it look like? Proud of you, though, pulling enough guts to take your crush out for joe."
Steve flushed redder than his jacket.Â
"Well," chirped Bucky, cheerfully pushing in his seat. "I'm sure you kids want some privacy, eh? Rootin' for you, pal. Ice Queen, I'm sure we'll be seeing each otherâin fact, I think you can bet on it."
He gave Steve a light pat on the back and left, waving at you through the window as he passed. You glared at him, then turned your attention to Steve, who was watching Bucky walk away.
"I told him to leave," you swore, not wanting him to assume the worst.
Steve shook his head, smiling slightly as he sat.Â
"It's fine. He's a pinhead. Usually not this much, butâŠ" A crinkle formed in the middle of his brows as he studied you. "Something's drawing it out of him, I guess."
"Could've fooled me," you snorted. "Figured that was his natural disposition."
"Yeah, sorry about him. Didn't know he'd be here."
"No, it's totally fine, Steve. Wasn't your doing."
Steve smiled, nodding.Â
"Well, I'm, uh, glad he didn't put you off. It'd be a shame."Â
"Oh?"Â
"Yeah. I know I've kinda been nervous today, but, gosh, I really do like you, Y/N, and it was nice spending time with you."
You smiled slowly, nodding.Â
"I had a great time with you too, Steve. This was a great break from studying."
"Oh." Steve's face fell slightly. "A break. Right. Well, I'mâI'm glad I could help."Â
You sighed, closing your eyes. Damn that Barnes. Bet or not, you couldn't ignore Steve's kicked puppy expression.Â
"This was a date, wasn't it?"Â
"No, no! Not if you didn't want it to be."
"Steve."
He rubbed the back of his neck.Â
"I guess that wasnât too clear, huh?"Â
"I really thought you were just being friendly," you laughed, embarrassment dawning on you.Â
"That's my fault," Steve said genuinely. "I should've been clearer about my intentions. But you've gotta know, like, I don't have any expectations for this to go further, you know. And if you don't want this to be a date, no hard feelings, honestly."Â
"No, no, it just caught me off guard, is all. I haven't done this very much and I⊠am not very good at picking up on cues, evidently."
"I should've asked you properly," he insisted, shaking his head. "So there were no misunderstandings. I don't have much experience in this either, truthfully."
"You? No way."
"I was a late bloomer. Bucky's the charmer."
"Nah," you grinned. "I think you've got plenty of charm, Steve."
"Thanks," he chuckled. "It bodes well for me that you think my awkwardness is charming."
"Hey, you're a sweet guy. Maybe just call it a date next time, yeah?"
"Next time?"
"Well, sure. Why not? I had fun."
"Yeah?"Â
"Yeah. No expectations, right?"
"Definitely not," Steve assured. "And no Bucky, I promise."
"Right, heh, yeah," you nodded, then took a deep breath. Time to bite the bullet.Â
"And uh, you know what? I've decided I'm coming to the final game."
"Hey, that's great! What changed your mind?"
"Just... thought it over. Besides, I want to support you and Sam. And the team."Â
Steve's answering smile was golden.Â
"I'm glad you're coming. The games are tons of fun, I swear. Especially the last one."
"Can't wait. Finally gonna pop my football game cherry."
Steve gave you a funny look.Â
"What?â
âYou know, âcause Iâve never been to a game?â
âOh, yeah... I guess you are."
"Yeah." You cleared your throat, breezing past the joke that had fallen flat. "Walk me back?"
"Sure. Nat mentioned you have finals until next week; I don't wanna keep you from studying. I'll bring you an extra jacket on the day of the game too."
"Steve, you don't have to do thatâ"
"It's nothing, honest. I want you to have a good time. And to be warm."
"Well, that's very thoughtful of you."Â
It was quiet on the way back, similar to the trip to the cafe. Steve walked you all the way up to your floor, ensuring you got in safely.Â
"Thanks for coffee," you said.
"Sure, yeah. Thanks for being cool about the date-not-date."
"Ah, it was just a silly miscommunication," you shrugged with a laugh. "Next time'll be smoother, I bet."
You fiddled with the key in your hand, glancing between him and the door.Â
"SoâŠ"
"Well, I'll see you," you blurted, giving him a nod and slipping inside.Â
You shut the door too loud, staring at it a moment more before sighing and flopping onto the couch.
Stupid bets.

Bad Batch Cuddles
Rating: G
Word Count: 1.9k
Pairing: gn!reader x bad batch
Warnings: None, just fluff
Summary: Reader is a medic for the Bad Batch who suffers from chronic nightmares. The Bad Batch learns that cuddling helps and they are on the job. This is how that came about.
[Part 2]
Masterlist
Nightmares are nothing new to you; youâve dealt with them for as long as you can remember. Itâs tiring, the constant interruption of any sleep you attempt to get. Your coping mechanisms, ones youâve learned through hard experience, only do so much night after night.
When the war starts you join as a volunteer medic. You figure why not put your skills to use where they were needed the most? It did nothing to help you sleep, the nightmares are only that much more vivid now, but you think itâs a fair trade for the lives you save every day. Itâs your passion, and you wouldnât give it up for anything.
The GAR moves you around at any given moment depending on what it needs. Sometimes youâre on a Venator-class star destroyer serving under a Jedi general. A few times you work on one of the Republic medical stations with the Kaminoans (you werenât sure how to feel about them if you were being honest.) But your longest stint anywhere, and where you were still, is working with Clone Force 99. They tell you to call them the Bad Batch.
You think itâs a bit funny, but you do it anyway.
Theyâre the ones who help you discover that nothing works to keep you asleep through the night quite as much as cuddling with someone else.
The first time you have a nightmare around them, you wake up in a cold sweat, heart pounding, in the little cot set up for you in the Havoc Marauder.
You slip past the boys still asleep in their bunks and make your way to the cockpit.
Itâs cooler in there, causing you to shiver when you step through the door. The blur of stars in hyperspace is as mesmerizing as ever, and works to calm you down.
You sit it in the copilot seat. Itâs always a good idea to leave the pilots seat open in case something goes wrong. And considering the Bad Batchâs propensity for things going wrong, itâs more likely than you care to admit.
Hours later, when your eyes are dry and hurting, you finally feel like you can go back to sleep. A quick sneak back to your cot and you lay there for the rest of the night.
Hunter asks you about it the next morning.
âOh man, I didnât mean to wake you up.â Curse your inability to be stealthy! Of course you would wake up the one with enhanced senses!
âNo worries,â he assures you with a smile. âYou weâre getting restless before you woke up, wanted to make sure you were okay.â
You gave him an awkward smile. âNothing to worry about, it was just a nightmare.â
Should you tell him that itâs normal? It would probably be a good idea. But what if he thinks constantly being woken up is too much of a hassle and wants a different medic? You were supposed to be helping them, not making them loose sleep too!
âI figured as much; it happens to all of us.â
He claps your shoulder and walks away before you could say another word.
Since then, one by one, the rest of the boys all find out about your nightmares. Wrecker is sitting up in his bunk one night when you jolt awake in your cot and end up meeting his eyes. Crosshair stays back with the Marauder during a short resupply where you proceed to fail miserably at taking a nap. Tech is tinkering with something in the cockpit when you come in one night.
Youâre not actually sure if heâs been to sleep at all yet, which only makes you feel a little better about accidentally disturbing him.
âYou know,â he starts as soon as you walk in, âthere are many studies about the psychology of chronic nightmares and their causes in nat-borns. Do you know if you have any hereditary diseases or other underlying sleep disorders that could contribute to your condition? If we scanned your brain, we could see if thereâs a physiological reason for it. As a medic, it would be simple for you to do.â
Youâre so astonished, both by his concern and the heat crawling up your face, that you can only giggle before going to sit on the floor next to him.
âHate to say it, but Iâve done that. Nothing physiological,â you sigh.
âThen it is psychological?â
âNot that Iâve ever discovered.â
Tech looks up in surprise. âI find it quite fascinating that nat-borns can have something wrong with them for no discernible reason.â
You snort. âSuppose being a genetically enhanced clone has some perks then. At least you know exactly how and why youâre different.â
âIâve never heard someone say being a clone is a good thing.â Techâs voice goes soft, and your heart breaks a little for him.
Being a medic has let you see the humanity in the GAR soldiers, that theyâre so much more that just clones. You also see that you are one of a few who think so.
You lean your head down on his shoulder, causing him to perk up.
âPerhaps what you need to alleviate your nightmares is to sleep with someone.â
âTech!â You sputter, trying to keep your voice down. âYou canât just say that!â
âYou misunderstand, I did not mean that in a sexual sense, though that would also work.â
The sound that leaves your throat is absolutely mortifying.
âThe sensation of touch releases oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. These hormones make you experience feelings of happiness, relaxation, improve your mood, and lower levels of depression. In your case, theoretically, it may help alleviate your nightmares enough to sleep soundly through the night.â
Once again, you felt astonishment flood through you. Itâs hardly a lot of research that Tech did, but the fact he did it for you had you feeling warm and fuzzy inside.
âSo youâre saying I should cuddle with someone?â
âIn laymanâs terms, yes.â
âAre you volunteering?â Youâre hoping you didnât sound desperate, because if cuddling is the answer after all this time youâre gonna hold onto these boys like a gundark does itâs next meal.
Wait, thatâs morbid.
âIf you feel like it would help, it will also make a good experiment to see how such a release of hormones could affect us clones and you differently.â As he stands he offers his hand to you. âWell, what are you waiting for?â
When you follow him back to his bunk you have no idea that it will be the best night sleep you can ever remember having in your life.
It only goes uphill from there when the others find out what helps you, touch starved as they are.
Tech likes to sleep on your chest, partly for his own comfort, but youâre also convinced he documents your heart rate and respiration for his own study. You notice that he changes small things about the way he lays depending on how well you sleep some nights, like he wanted to see what brings about the best results. And if you cuddle him just a bit more when you catch on, well neither one of you says anything.
Wrecker is the most enthusiastic about this turn of events. He is the most tactile out of the four of them, so nights with him are the cuddliest. With him, he loves to be the big spoon, and youâre not complaining in the slightest. You feel so small in his arms. Itâs the warmest and safest place you can ever be, and on the odd night you still wake up heâs holding you just that much tighter and assuring you that heâll fight off every nightmare you have and keep you safe.
Hunter has to figure out which position sets off his senses the least, but he learns for you. Itâs slow going, but eventually you both figure out that you laying on top of him is the best. You get a nice body pillow that hugs you back, and he gets a person shaped weighted blanket that actually manages to calm him down. The night you try that position you both sleep so well that it takes Hunter a few minutes to let you go when he wakes up, which is lovely since he usually has to move during the night.
CrosshairâŠ.
Well, Crosshair makes it perfectly clear that he doesnât want any part of cuddling with you. The rapport you have already built with him as a medic is not ideal, but at least heâs civil with you now. You didnât want to do anything to jeopardize that, so you leave him be.
The others take turns sleeping with you each night if they can. You rotate around their bunks so much you hardly sleep in your own cot anymore; the only times you do now is when they're off on a mission that you canât join them on, even if you do double as a field medic for them.
Everything changes one night, though.
Itâs another resupply when Crosshair stays behind that the others are trapped in town for the night because of a sandstorm. As capable as they were â a sandstorm wouldnât have slowed them down much, honestly â Hunter didnât want to needlessly risk it. So, he, Tech, and Wrecker stay in the town, leaving you and Crosshair alone in the Marauder.
Youâre nervous for it, though youâre not certain why exactly. Maybe itâs the antsy feeling that grows in you the closer it came to go to sleep. You knew a nightmare will come tonight.
âHey⊠Crosshair?â You stand a few feet away from where he cleans his rifle.
âNo.â
You almost wince. You suppose itâs a bit obvious what you want to ask him.
âRight, sorry.â
You putter away to the bunks and proceed to strip away Wreckerâs, Techâs, and Hunterâs (not Crosshairâs; never Crosshairâs) blankets and pillows to toss onto your cot. Itâs something you do when theyâre all away â a poor approximation to being in their arms, but it smells like them and itâs warm, so you make it work.
When Crosshair comes in from locking down the Marauder he takes one look at you and scoffs. âYou look pathetic.â
You crack your eyes open. âBetter pathetic like this than pathetic because of a nightmare,â you mutter before closing your eyes again.
âYouâre going to give us a bad name if you keep looking this pathetic.â You hear before the blankets are ripped away from you.
âHey!â You jolt up and try to grab them back but heâs already tossing them on the floor.
You freeze when he pulls the last remaining cover up and slides into your cot next to you. Youâre staring at him in shock when he scoffs again and practically manhandles so youâre tucked into his front, chest to chest.
When your hands shakily move around to hold his middle, slowly in case he pulls away, he puts his around your back and pulls you closer.
You let yourself melt into it, lest you miss your chance to accept what heâs never offered before. Whatever has come over him, youâre going to take full advantage of it. Your legs tangle with his and in Crosshairâs arms you can finally sleep knowing no nightmare would dare to disturb either of you.
âThank you,â you whisper into his chest as you drift off.
âDonât mention it,â he whispers back, voice softer than youâve ever heard. âEver.â
And after that night, Crosshair is one of your favorites to sleep with.

To Realize
Main Masterlist
Pairings: Natasha Romanoff x Fem!Stark!Reader
Summary: Natasha's been connecting all the dots about how she feels about you, it's up to her to how she'll handle the situation.
A/N: This was supposed to be a oneshot until... I wanted to base it on the whole Black Widow movie :"))
Warnings: none, let me know if there's any.
⟠â*ïŸ:â*ïŸ:â *â.*:ïœ„ïŸ .: â*ïŸ: .â⟠â*ïŸ:â*ïŸ:â *â.*:ïœ„ïŸ .: â*ïŸ: .â
Your last interaction with your father didn't go well, he simply told you that Secretary Ross is now after you and Natasha after helping Steve, and Bucky to get in the Quinjet while T'challa was after them.
Quickly tackling the king of Wakanda on the ground, while Natasha shot something at him to give Rogers and his friend time to take off, as soon as the jet flew away, you removed your arms that are restraining him.
"Your father will hear about this, and you too Miss Romanoff." The exact words that came out of T'challa, and now you're on the run with Natasha, considered as a global fugitive.
Your father looked at you with disappointment when he mentioned that Ross will be chasing you and the latter, you looked at Natasha before she took your hand and leading you out, taking you to who knows where.
⟠â*ïŸ:â*ïŸ:â *â.*:ïœ„ïŸ .: â*ïŸ: .â⟠â*ïŸ:â*ïŸ:â *â.*:ïœ„ïŸ .: â*ïŸ: .â
"You miss your daddy?" Natasha spoke while driving, you chuckle at her words then resting your head against the car window. "Hmm, kinda, so what are we doing here in Norway?" You ask the latter.
"Well, you've noticed that Ross is after our asses after assaulting the King of Wakanda, and helping Steve and Barnes escape the airport, I believe we should lay low, right?" She propped her elbow by the window, resting her head on her knuckle as she drives with one hand. "Oh? I didn't know that." You replied sarcastically, making Natasha roll her eyes.
"What I mean is, why Norway of all places?" Now you're kindly asking, arms crossed over your chest and slowly drifting off to sleep, exhausted after hours of traveling, without Daddy's private planes, sports car, and Quinjet also.
Natasha noticed how your voice softens, a long yawn coming out of your mouth, and quickly glancing at you. "Ross has no jurisdiction here, his boys would stay away from here for the time being." She answered, you softly nodded and replied with an 'okay' almost a whisper with how silent it was.
In a split second, you're already fast asleep at the passenger seat, both arms hugging yourself and your head resting against the window. Nat maintained her eyes on the road as she attempts to reach for a blanket she stashed in the backseat, after few shifts in her place, the Russian managed to grab the cloth.
She gently placed the soft blanket over you, and now focusing herself on driving, for some reason, she has always felt this warm feeling in her heart when she's alone with you, adoration maybe?
Your peaceful state while you're in deep slumber, and hearing your soft snores as she admires the view of the landscape, she would offer everything she has just to stay like this most of the time.
The thought caught her off-guard, why would she want to spend all of her time with her friend's daughter? She shrugged the thought off from her mind, she knows what love feels like, she felt it with Bruce until Hulk decided to drive off somewhere they won't find him.
She did get sad because of it, but she chose to move forward and move on, successfully removing any romantic feelings for Banner, focusing on her work as an Agent and an Avenger.
But why is she feeling this way with you? Her heart melts when she sees you getting all excited when you've successfully upgraded your techs, how she would automatically smile when her eyes would catch you smiling, and how she feels warm when you're there to ease her mind when a mission didn't go as planned.
She's now connecting the dots, using the silence and peace surrounding her, she got time to think about herself and her feelings towards Tony Stark's daughter.
⟠â*ïŸ:â*ïŸ:â *â.*:ïœ„ïŸ .: â*ïŸ: .â⟠â*ïŸ:â*ïŸ:â *â.*:ïœ„ïŸ .: â*ïŸ: .â
After half an hour of the drive, you slowly wake up from your nap, looking around the surroundings you're in the middle of the woods, Natasha's still driving. "Good uhh... Evening?" You greeted Nat with your groggy voice.
Natasha stopped the car beside the safehouse, which is a caravan and you don't mind, you can't really call your father to get you a 5-star hotel to stay in. "Did you manage to replenish your energy?" She asked, unbuckling her seat belt and you did the same.
Getting out of the car, she has her gun out and you also have one on your hand, staying alert until both of you heard a loud snore in the room. Natasha immediately returned to her relaxed posture before heading into where the sound belongs, and she found her contractor sleeping.
Kicking his foot that is off the bed, the man immediately woke up. "You're sleeping in my bed." Natasha commented, "I'm not even under the covers." He replied, then his eyes trail at you, awkwardly looking away noticing that the two seemed close.
"I've got what you asked for, fake IDs, drivers licenses, and some VISAs, also for Miss Stark too, just like what you've told me to do." He says as he handed out the fake identifications to Natasha, while reading, the Russian frowned upon what she just read. "Really? Fanny Longbottom?"
"That is a legitimate name." He defended himself, them Natasha handed your fake IDs, taking a good look at them and you're amazed about how real they seem to be. "Thank you...?" You softly spoke.
"Rick, Rick Mason." He introduced himself, and you shook his hand also introducing yourself, with little chit-chat soon after the man left leaving you and Natasha alone.
⟠â*ïŸ:â*ïŸ:â *â.*:ïœ„ïŸ .: â*ïŸ: .â⟠â*ïŸ:â*ïŸ:â *â.*:ïœ„ïŸ .: â*ïŸ: .â
An hour has passed it's already dark out, you're currently sitting by the front door, knees up to your chest, and you already felt homesick, Natasha's company is nice honestly, but the feeling of being far away from your father and home sucks.
Natasha looks at you while you're way too busy gazing at the woods, she knows you aren't used to this type of setup, running away from authorities, and far from home, she felt bad for you.
She walks up behind you, making sure you're aware of her presence before placing a hand on your shoulder. "I'm going to watch a movie on my laptop, feel free to join me, I'm also eating the ice cream we bought at the convenience store earlier." She softly spoke before leaving you alone.
Minutes after, you finally stood up from where you are sitting and closing the front door, almost dragging your way to Natasha. Two bowls of ice cream in front of her, and her laptop already on, she was waiting for you.
You placed yourself beside her, head resting on her shoulder then she plays the movie on the screen, lazily taking a spoonful of the cold treat in your mouth, and eyes glued on the screen, but you weren't paying attention to the movie, you're spacing out.
"Hey, Y/N? Are you okay?" Of course, not, Natasha knows damn well you aren't okay, she thought that it's a dumb question. "Of course, why wouldn't I be?" You answered just like your father, she paused the film and causing you to look at her. "No, you're not okay, and that's okay." She says before taking you into her arms.
You're surprised actually, Natasha isn't usually the one who initiates physical contact but here she is, her arms wrapped around your body. You needed this, you needed to feel home and somehow being hugged by Natasha feels like it.
Burying your face at her shoulders then you knew you're melting in her arms, it almost brought the tears out of you, as if her touch is enough the lift the burden you've been feeling.
Natasha feels like home.
You try not to think anything about the affection she just gave, but damn, you think you'd go batshit crazy if you won't get to experience this again.
⟠â*ïŸ:â*ïŸ:â *â.*:ïœ„ïŸ .: â*ïŸ: .â⟠â*ïŸ:â*ïŸ:â *â.*:ïœ„ïŸ .: â*ïŸ: .â
Let's be clear here, you've had a crush on Natasha while she's still Natalie, then as soon as Fury revealed that she is some secret agent, you were so amazed that you started liking her, though she didn't contact after that.
You weren't part of the Avengers initiative, but you did join them in the battle of Sokovia, but she and Banner have a thing going on, so you've decided to set those feelings aside. Which you successfully did for a few months, and after Bruce flying who knows where maybe you can make a move?
So you did, you would jokingly flirt around Natasha, and your father would give a questioning look then you slowly back away, but you were also a great friend to Nat, it's just that you can't seem to get all romantic with Natasha.
Just as much of a playboy your father is, that's all his, you suck at this type of thing, so Nat probably thought you're just a caring and affectionate person.
⟠â*ïŸ:â*ïŸ:â *â.*:ïœ„ïŸ .: â*ïŸ: .â⟠â*ïŸ:â*ïŸ:â *â.*:ïœ„ïŸ .: â*ïŸ: .â
You gently pull away from Natasha's grasp, and she looks at you with her emerald eyes. "Better?" She asked, placing a hand on your cheek softly caressing your skin. "Much better, thank you." She smiled with your answer, the next thing you know is that you're way too close to her, and you're looking at her plump lips.
This would be a perfect time to make a move.
You hold the back of her hand that is on your cheek, slowly closing in, and Natasha is leaning closer, so near that you could feel each other breathing, just when your lips were about to touch hers... the power died.
Nat cleared her throat and awkwardly moving away, removing her hand away from you and she stood up. "I'm just going to check the power generator." She says before going outside.
Her face turned red as soon as she was out of your sight, she got way too vulnerable with you, she almost kissed you but she sure knows she's going to like it but no, not at a time like this.
She tried to get the power back on, only to find that there's no more fuel in the generator, she came back inside finding you eating ice cream in the corner, and probably waiting for her to come back.
"I'm going to a gas station, do you want to come with me?" She asked, you nodded before getting off your ass and bringing yourself into her car, there's this awkward tension between the two of you, and as soon as she started driving, the silence swallowed the two of you.
"Can I turn the radio on?" You asked her, she simply nodded while eyes fixated on the road, you played the radio, and Sia's Cheap Thrills came on. "Damn, even here? When is this song going to die?" You commented.
Natasha taps her fingers on the steering wheel according to the beats, despite hearing the song over and over whenever you would turn on the radio, you still liked it.
Midway through the song, you felt chills on your body, and as soon as you look at the window beside you, suddenly you see an RPG heading towards the car.
"Natâ" Before she could react it has already hit the car causing an explosion, now the vehicle is hanging on the edge of the bridge, and with one wrong move it'll head straight down to the water. "Ooh, fuck that hurts." Hissing as you try to collect yourself and trying to fight the headache it caused.
Natasha on the other hand is in pain and boy, she's mad. "I'm pretty sure Ross has no jurisdiction here, and you should know that I'm a better shot when I'm pissed off," Nat spoke before firing few bullets at the person, you look at her and biting your lip, finding her hot.
"Wow, that's hot..." You spoke under your breath but Natasha heard, glaring at you. "Really? At a time like this?" She says, before heading out of the car when you tried to get out Nat stopped you. "How long can you hold your breath?" She asked. "Last time I beat Sam it was a good 4 minutes and a half."
"As soon as this psycho comes close enough, I'll push you into the water, it's not after us." She says you look at her as if she's speaking lies. "Nat, I'm not leaving you hereâ" before you could protest, you felt her lips against yours it was quick but you know damn well, that Natasha kissed you.
"I'll meet you down there, I promise." She says before a shield comes charging towards her, and managed to avoid it, yet it hit the car, now you're falling off the bridge and you suddenly noticed a small case on her hand.
You quickly got out of the car before it could hit the water, then you swam heading to safety where the one who ambushed wouldn't see you.
Closing your eyes hoping that Nat would come back to you in one piece, there's no way you'll let her die after kissing you, of course, you wanted to fight but your body just wouldn't.
You can't risk losing Natasha now.

I Said No (Wanda x R): Pt 5
Pt 1, Pt 2, Pt 3, Pt 4, House Map
Summary: Movie theater, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and the county fair
âWe can come back to get the rest. I donât understand why youâre doing that.â
Wanda watches you struggle trying to carry everything you brought from the store but two bags that Wanda herself is carrying.Â
âBecause, my young Padawanda, it is one of the most important rules of the Jedi Code. One must never make a second trip to the car lest he be a nerd.â
âOh my gosh! Have you seen Star Wars?â You and Wanda turn your heads towards the porch where Sam and Peter reside. Peter runs down to you in excitement. âWhich ones have you seen?â
âOnly like all of them!â you answer, just as excited as Peter to have someone else here who likes the movies. Laura finds them boring, Clint thinks theyâre too long, and Nat says sheâs not a child. You tried watching them with Cooper and Lila but they fell asleep halfway through. So no one can blame you for getting excited. Unfortunately, the little bounce that accompanied your answer causes a few things to slip from your arms, but Peter, given his incredible reflexes, catches them all before they touch the ground. âThe force is strong with this one,â you tell him.
âAnd a second trip is what makes you a nerd.â Sam mumbles under his breath on his way over to help by taking the bags from Wanda. âWhatâs on your neck?â He asks her. Her hand flies up to her neck only to find it sticky.
âItâs what happens when you mess with a Jedi,â you answer for her in a silly voice making Peter laugh. You also make Wanda blush as she recalls how it happened, but you donât see this since you and Peter are already making your way to the house. Sam, however, does notice Wandaâs face and recognizes that look, leaving him stumped. Wanda only snaps out of her trance when the door closes behind you and Peter.Â
âI donât get it,â he says to Wanda. âWhat is it about her? Is it the confidently flirty but still kind of geeky thing that does it for you ladies?â
Wanda, embarrassed at being caught, heads to the house ignoring Samâs questions. She can still hear him as he yells after, âDonât walk away! I need to know if nerds are the thing now!â
Sam catches her in the kitchen along with you and Peter putting things you bought where theyâre meant. Instead of asking Wanda anything, he turns his questions to you and Peter, who you all find out has a girlfriend now. Sam guesses his ânerds are inâ theory correct based on that and soon he is agreeing to watch Star Wars with you, Peter, and Wanda. He threw Wanda a subtle wink when neither you nor Peter were looking as if to say âyouâre welcomeâ for including her in those plans. Clint, coming in from the side door, catches the ending of that conversation and groans.Â
âNo! Laura! Peter and Y/N found an interest they can both be annoying about,â he goes to complain to his wife. Later though, he as well as everyone else joins you to watch the movie. You and Peter thoroughly answer all of Sam and Pietroâs questions and hush everyone at your favorite parts, mouthing the lines along with the scene. Wanda ends up not watching the movie anymore but watching you and she begins to wonder if maybe Sam was right.
***
âHow much longer?â you find yourself asking the next morning trying not to sound as out of breath as you are. Youâve been jogging for you donât know how long now but it feels way longer than what Nat had promised it would be when she woke you up at six in the morning.
âAnother mile,â she answers, no sign of struggle in her voice as if this is a cakewalk. You suppose it is for her since sheâs had to slow down numerous times for you to catch up.
âAnother mile?!â
âHey, you said you would keep up today,â Nat reminds you.
âYou know you canât trust anything I say during my havenât-had-caffeine-yet hours. Donât I get points for trying?â
âLike your little green friend says, âDo or do not, there is no tryâ,â Nat retorts.
âI knew you were paying attention last night!â You increase your pace to jog beside her. âYou can act too tough to like Star Wars all you want around everyone else, but Iâll always know the truth.â You can see her shake her head from the corner of your eye. You donât say anything for a moment, but being one who cannot let the quiet linger too long, as Tanya would attest to, you speak up. âSo, howâs your little green friend doing?â
You turn your head for a second to show Nat you were genuinely looking for an answer and in the next sheâs practically running away from you. She went fast but not quick enough for you to miss the little redness creeping up on her cheeks. You have never in your years of knowing her seen her blush before. You have seen her sweat after a sparring match with Clint, get a bit of a sunburn, and get so angry she looked like she would pop a vein, but not one of those times were her cheeks turning a rosy color. Aww, Romanovâs in love. Once youâve come to that conclusion, you go to tease her. Wait, where did she go?
âYou asshole!â You yell at Nat who you finally find casually leaning on the car door watching you storm up to her. It took you an hour to find the car after losing the trail you were on trying to find Natasha. She doesnât even flinch as she reaches over and pulls a twig out of your hair. âWhat happened to you?â
âYou left me!â You huffed, walking around to the passenger side while Nat got in the driver seat unfazed. Truth be told, after 30 minutes without any sign of Nat, you thought she was putting you through some kind of test. You were getting paranoid, so itâs not surprising you took a tumble when you swiftly tried to avoid an attack from what turned out to be a squirrel running up a tree. But youâll just keep that to yourself forever.
You head straight to the shower when you get to the house ignoring the morning greetings from those you pass on the way. âWhatâs up with her?â Sam asks Nat in the living room. âShe hasnât had her caffeine yet.â
You let the shower wash away your moodiness which, you can admit to yourself alone, stemmed for the most part from embarrassing yourself. Afterwards, you head to the kitchen ready to eat whatever everyone had for breakfast, but come up empty. You guess theyâd finished all of it if the plates and pan left out to dry say anything. You open the fridge looking for something to eat. Maybe there is something in there you can heat up. Unlike Laura, Wanda, and self proclaimed chef Pietro, you cannot cook to save your life.Â
âWhatâs cooking, good looking?â Speak of the devil. Maybe he can make you something? You know all it would take is some batting of the eyelashes and a compliment. No, Wanda said no. But there is nothing in the fridge to heat up and you were hungry. Wanda would surely understand it was for the greater good, right? Already breaking the first rule, I see.
Caught red handed, you look over Pietroâs shoulder to see Wanda walking into the kitchen to join you two. Sheâs raising her eyebrows at you waiting for an answer.Â
âOkay, new rule,â you say. Pietro is confused at what he assumes is your response until he sees that you arenât talking to him. âNo more reading my mind,â you say sternly, pointing at Wanda.Â
Pietro smirks. âYeah, I donât need you to hear what goes on Y/Nâs mind when she is thinking about me,â he says to Wanda. Both you and Wanda roll your eyes. âSam is asking for you outside,â is all she says to him and off he goes with a groan.You groan as well, the chance of getting someone to make you food leaving with him.
âYou could have just asked me, you know?â Wanda says, leaning against the sink.Â
âI thought I said no mind reading,â you remind her. She chuckles when you close the refrigerator door and hit your head against it in defeat.
âI wasnât,â she defends. âI was serious when I said he canât cook. I may have saved you from food poisoning.â
âMaybe, but I would have been full and happy for a moment. Since you chased away my shot at food, I think you should make it up to me by making me some breakfast,â you try, leaning against the fridge.
âOh? I should, should I?â You nod confidently thinking it might just work, but she tears that thought away when she continues, âCause I remember you still needing to make it up to me when you didnât buy the ice creams.â
You frown, âI thought youâd forgotten about that.â She smiles, with nose scrunch and all, shaking her head. âFine, you want to go to the fair? Iâll take you to the fair tomorrow!â
âA fair? I want to go!â you hear Cooper shout. He is coming in through the back door with Lila who looks just as excited and with Nat who does not. You ignore Natâs face when you tell Cooper that you can all go to the fair. He and Lila run off in excitement to tell the others. Nat glares at you as she takes a seat at the kitchen table.Â
âSee,â you turn to Wanda. âNow I have to take you for sure. Make me some food now, please,â you beg her, drawing out the word please. She squints her eyes like sheâs thinking about it and then, âOnly because you asked so nicely.âÂ
âThank you,â you throw her a huge smile at which Wanda rolls her eyes.
âBut if you are going to be here,â she says pushing you away from the fridge, âyou are going to help. Youâve got to learn how to cook for yourself.â And you do just that. You nod along intently listening to all her instructions, not wanting to miss a thing. Sometimes youâd interrupt to make a joke and when one is about her brother, she playfully punches you. You are so immersed in your little bubble, you forget Nat is not too far away watching your interaction with curiosity. She has you try the food first and you could almost moan. You notice a blush creeping up on Wandaâs face and suddenly sheâs avoiding your eyes.The food is so good and you were so hungry that maybe you did let out a little noise of satisfaction. Before you could say anything, another voice interrupts, âWhatâs this I hear about a fair?â
You turn slowly recognizing the tone your cousin uses. Itâs the who-made-these-plans-without-asking-me-first tone. You smile at Laura, mouth full of food. You see Nat point at you but Laura was already looking at you. âYeah, I think she knows it was me, Natasha.â
***
A few uneventful hours go by and you are bored out of your mind. You have a sudden urge to go out seeing as the sun was still shining. You pull out your phone having an idea of what to do to kill some time. You scroll through your phone to see what movies are playing at the only movie theater in town. You see that the next showing is for a horror movie.Â
âDo you like scary movies?â you turn to the group playing Uno in the living room. Pietro gets up in excitement when you mention going to the movie theater. Sam agrees to come as well and drags Peter out the door when Peter wants to stay claiming itâs to keep the kids company. You are about to head out with everyone but you notice Wanda still sitting on the couch. You wait for her to get up when Pietro says, âYeah, good luck with that. Sheâs too chicken to watch scary movies.â
Wanda, offended, gets up quickly from the couch, âAm not. I just think theyâre boring.â
âSure,â Pietro chuckles as he heads out the door.
âYou donât have to come if you donât want to,â you tell her. You think she is going to stay, but she starts heading out the door to the car.Â
âYou sure thatâs not enough butter, Y/N?â Peter asks you when he sees how much butter heâs already put in the bucket at your insistence. He can feel some of it through the bucket already.Â
âFine, thatâs good. You grab some napkins. Iâll hold the bucket,â you tell him after you see his eyebrows scrunch. You all go to the designated room and pick a row to sit in having pretty much any seat you want since it was practically empty. You sit down next to Peter and notice Pietroâs eyes falling to the empty seat on your other side. He aims to sit next to you but his sister who was sitting next to Peter before beats him to it. He throws her a confused look as he shuffles his way down to sit in her abandoned seat. âReal subtle there, Wanda,â you say, amused more than anything.
âI can see the screen better from here.â You let her bad excuse slide and turn to the screen as the movie begins to play. Between you, Peter, and Pietro, the popcorn is gone in record time. The jumpscares begin halfway through the movie. Peter holds the empty bucket as a safety blanket which you find adorable. You donât even know if Wanda is watching the movie. Sheâs got her eyes somewhat hidden behind her fingers. You want to tease her, so you reach to take her fingers away from her face, but another jumpscare happens and she takes your hand in her free one. You feel her squeeze the life out of your hand in anticipation of another jumpscare.Â
Your palm begins to sweat and you start to feel uncomfortable with all the butter on your fingers, so you slip your hand out from hers. She turns to you in question. âSorry, my handâs full of butter,â you whisper. She reaches over you to ask Peter something. Without a word, she leans back in her seat with napkins in her hand and cleans all the butter off your hand before taking it in hers once more, this time interlacing your fingers. She turns her focus back to the movie. You feel you should just do the same, so you follow her actions. You let her hold your hand for the rest of the movie until the lights come back up.
Wanda shouldnât have watched that movie. It is much too dark in the bedroom. It is much too quiet. She can hear Natâs soft breathing from beside her. The silhouettes of various items around the room are creeping her out. She doesnât think she is going to be sleeping any time soon. Maybe some tea will help. She gets up quietly trying not to wake Nat, but when sheâs at the door, Nat asks, âWhere are you going?â
âThe bathroom,â Wanda lies easily. Sheâd rather not let Nat know that she couldnât sleep because of some scary movie. What kind of superhero would that make her? As she heads downstairs, she wonders if you were still awake. She turns down the hallway to peek into the living room and sure enough you were still awake watching television. She walks over to you behind the couch. âWhat are you watching?â she asks. You feel your soul leave your body not having heard her approach. She giggles as she walks around to sit next to you. âSorry.â
âItâs okay, just warn a girl next time.â She turns her attention to the show. âItâs Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Itâs really good. I used to watch it with Laura when she would babysit while my mom was at work. Some of the jokes I wouldnât even understand but Iâd laugh âcause she was laughing,â you reminisce.Â
âYou and her are very close.â
âYeah, well, sheâs practically the only family I have. My mom passed not so long ago and seeing as there was never a dad in my family picture, my aunt and uncle took me in. I donât have any siblings and neither does Laura so, sheâs kind of it.â You add, âWell, apart from Clint, Nat, and the kids of course.â
Another two scenes go by on the show before you ask, âDid you have a nightmare or could you not fall asleep?â
Wanda looks down embarrassed so you add, âI promise Iâm not teasing. Iâm just asking.â
âI couldnât sleep. It was too quiet and dark and Natasha was already asleep, so I thought I would come down here,â she replies.
âOh, so you thought I would definitely put you to sleep. Wow, I donât see how this friendship is going to work if you think I bore you to sleep,â you tease. Upon seeing her tired smile, you take pity and pat your thighs and gesture for her to lie down. âCome here.â
When she lays her head on your lap, you begin running your fingers through her hair. You hear her yawn and a few minutes later you find her sound asleep. Careful not to wake her, you reach over to the blanket you were meant to use on you and throw it over her body instead. Another two episodes play before you fall asleep.
***
You wake up once again with a sore neck and you feel that your body might be as well, but when you remember the reason, you donât find it in yourself to complain. You look around prepared to see Nat in gym clothes holding a coffee cup but you find the living room empty apart from you and Wanda. You look out the window and see the sun is barely about to rise. Surprised to have woken up before anyone else, you decide to make the most of it but you are quickly sidetracked getting distracted by Wandaâs sleeping form. âI can feel you staring,â she says, her voice husky which you try hard not to find attractive. She turns her head to look up at you with sleepy eyes. âFriends donât do that.â
âI was not staring. I was admiring,â you respond. âAnd friends can admire their friends.â
âWell mine donât the way you do.âÂ
âAinât that a shame.â You boop her nose with your finger making her scrunch her nose.
âThey do, however, let me sleep,â she jokes. She turns her head back as if she was to go back to sleep and you decide this might be the best time to get up. You gently lift her head from your lap and swivel your body off the couch. âWhere are you going?â she whines, when you place a pillow under her head.
âI am going to wake Nat up for once in my life,â you reply with determination. You stretch and shake your legs trying to get the feeling back in them.
âGood luck with that,â is the last thing Wanda says before closing her eyes and going back to sleep. You head to the kitchen to start the coffee pot and then make your way upstairs. Luckily, the door was left open so you donât make any noise on your way in. You tiptoed your way to Natasha and bent down so your face was eye level to hers. You honestly canât believe youâve made it this far since she is the lightest sleeper. This is the spy they chose for the Avengers? You giggle to yourself imagining the face Nat is going to make when you scare her. Oh, if they could see her nowâŠthey would be satisfied with their choice, you think as you try to choke out, âUncle. Uncle.â Nat somehow has you in a choke hold and you are tapping furiously on her arm. Once she realizes itâs you she lets go.
âY/N, what the hell! I could have hurt you!â she yells at you as youâre coughing. You stare at her unbelievably, rubbing at your neck, and once you can speak again you say, âThen what was this to you? Some light foreplay?â
Once you both settle down, she realizes you were up before her. You take some exercise attire out for yourself from your luggage. You might not like to exercise but gym clothes are sure comfy to lie around in. âYou gotta keep up, Natasha. You donât want the boss man to catch you slacking. Oh, Iâm also making coffee so donât worry about that.â
âWhatâs got you in such a good mood?â she asks, her eyebrows furrowing. You smile in turn. âI donât know what you mean. Iâll catch you downstairs.â
You leave her to change and head downstairs with your clothes. You go to the kitchen first and make two cups of coffee. Then you go to the restroom to change. After she finishes changing, Nat goes to the kitchen and sees you were not kidding. Natasha takes her cup of coffee to the living room as she always does and finds Wanda asleep on the couch. She sighs as things start adding up. She guesses this is the reason for the lack of a grumpy attitude from you so early in the morning. She wants to say something but Nat would rather take a motivated Y/N over Y/N complaining every five minutes on their hike. So, she doesnât say anything for now.
You actually keep up with Nat this time and to top it off you donât talk too much like you always do. Nat thinks itâs because you're in a good mood giving you motivation, but the reason for keeping her pace and keeping quiet is your fear sheâll leave you again if you say something to set her off and lose her like yesterday. Nat even goes as far as giving you a compliment at the end. Well, semi-compliment, but her âNot too bad, Y/Nâs are few and far between so you return to the house feeling proud of yourself.
This time youâre the one saying good morning to everyone when you enter. You see a few of them still eating breakfast in the kitchen. You hope there will still be leftovers by the time you come back down after showering. Knowing how some of the guys eat, it is going to have to be a quick shower. Laura sees you eyeing the food and says, âDonât worry, we saved you a plate.â And here you thought Wanda was the mind reader. âWanda told us you were grumpy yesterday from not catching breakfast so we made sure to make more.â That explains it. You smile, happy someone kept you in mind. Now you can shower in peace. You thank her and head upstairs.
âYou saw that, right?â Laura turns to Clint and Nat who walked in not too long before you left.
âSheâs been like that all morning. Not one âAre we done yet?â or âWhy do you hate me, Natasha?â on our hike,â Nat replies in a hushed tone as if itâs so unlike you to be agreeable in the morning.Â
âDo you think it has anything to do with a certain somebody?â Laura felt the need to ask.
âWell she didnât just find a love for exercise,â Nat sarcastically says.
Clint sighs, âDo you think we have to talk to her again?âÂ
Nat goes to respond, but Laura cuts off whatever Nat was going to say, âNo, if anyone is going to talk to her, itâs me. And itâs not going to be some crappy âno datingâ rule type of conversation. You two are great when it comes to getting someone to talk with your intimidation, but save that for your job, which speaking of, Wanda is your coworker, so you may want to talk to her as well if you had to talk to Y/N because last I remember it takes two to tango.â
Nat and Clint stare at Laura in shock, embarrassment and guilt rightfully taking over their bodies. âAre we clear?â Laura asks them though itâs more of a statement leaving no room for argument.Â
âYes.â âYeah.â
Upstairs, you make your way to the guest room to grab some clothes. Wanda is sitting on the bed reading her book. She is still dressed in her pyjamas, which makes you smile. The sound of her turning the page shakes you from your thoughts and saves you from staring a bit too long. Wanda smirks without bothering to look away from her book and you know she caught you.
âMorning, Iâm just gonna get some clothes,â you explain as you move to where your bag is. Wanda speaks up while you zip your duffle closed, âIâm sorry for bothering you last night.â
âCome on, Wanda. You could never be a bother,â you say sincerely, giving her a smile that she shyly returns. âAlright, the shower is calling my name.â
âYeah, I can hear it screaming,â she jokes and laughs when you take mock offense, âHey!â She goes back to reading when she sees you heading out the door but you call her attention once more, âOh! Thanks for telling them to save me a plate.â
âOf course,â she replies like it wasnât even worth mentioning. You nod at her and then go to shower, closing the guest room door behind you.
A few seconds later, the door opens up again and Wanda amusedly says, her eyes never straying from the page sheâs reading, âDid the shower call the wrong name?â
âNo, it was definitely calling Y/Nâs and mine too, Iâm sure, but I wanted to talk to you first.â
Wandaâs head diverts to the door at Natâs voice.Â
âAnd you needed back up for it?â Wanda looks over to Clint who awkwardly stands behind Nat.
Clint clears his throat, âWell it was only fair if Y/N got both of us, you did too.â
Wanda straightens her posture as she places her book beside her. âAh, so this is about Y/N. I had a feeling.â
Nat and Clint come into the room, Clint closing the door behind him. Nat goes to sit on the end of the bed and Clint stands behind her. âLook, we were wrong to tell Y/N what to do or rather not do. She is an adult and has the right to do whatever she wants, but you have to understand sheâs someone who tends to get ahead of herself and we didnât- we donât want anyone to get hurt,â Nat starts.
âSo youâre saying she is getting ahead of herself with me? That what? Come two weeks, sheâll realize she doesnât want me?â Wanda starts to get visibly upset.
âNo, thatâs not what-â Clint tries to speak but Wanda is not done talking. âEven if that was the case, it would be her choice. It would be my choice.â
âWanda, you are not going to be here in two weeks. You are not going to be here in a few days,â Natasha calmly says trying to reason. âLook, we love Y/N, okay? But she often finds herself making mistakes-â
âSo I would just be another mistake?Â
âNo, you would be a dangerous one,â Nat says trying to get something through to Wanda.
âI would never hurt her.â
âNo, maybe not intentionally,â Nat continues, and when Wanda looks like she is going to argue, Clint interrupts, âWanda, just let her finish.â Wanda takes a breath to calm herself down and then nods for Natasha to carry on.
âBeing in our lives more than she has to could get her hurt. Even this morning, I hurt her when she was probably just trying to play some stupid prank. Being around us is dangerous. Why do you think Clint kept all this a secret,â Nat motions around the room. âWhy do you think I was so upset about her and Yelena? Why do you think we havenât said anything to Y/N before? Those other girls arenât you. Those other girls arenât Yelena. I donât even know where she is right now. We live different lives. Say things do work out with Y/N. Much like I donât know where my sister is, there will be times she wonât have a clue where you are or if youâre okay. When Clint and I say we donât want anyone to get hurt, it goes both ways.â
âWan, have you seen my blue shirt with the buttons?â Pietro storms into the room like a man on a mission, not even bothering to acknowledge Nat and Clint are in the room as well. âI know I packed it.â Not until he reads the hurt in Wandaâs eyes does he read the room and like the protective sibling he is, he is quick to get defensive. âWhatâs happening here?â
Her brotherâs interruption could not have come at a better time. Wanda didnât know how to respond to Natâs explanation. She was feeling herself choke up, Visionâs voice springing in her head again. Sheâs happy to have Pietro here so willing to jump in to defend her but she doesnât want to drag him into it, so she clears her throat and says, âNothing. We were just talking.â He still looks unsure, so she gets up from the bed and offers, âIâll help you look for it.â Her eyes plead for him to let it go. Luckily, he does and heads out the door. Clint and Nat watch Pietro leave and Wanda stop by the door. âYou donât have to worry. Y/N made it clear to me that weâre just friends,â she says in defeat, then turns to follow her brother.
âWell, that went well,â Clint says sarcastically.Â
Wanda spends the next two hours helping Sam, Peter, and Pietro get ready. She helps Sam pick an outfit first seeing as he was the first to shower. She has to pry one of Peterâs t-shirts from his hands saying heâs twice Peterâs size and he cannot pull the nerdy look. She helps Peter next. Itâs mostly just styling his hair he needs help with. At last she helps her brother after having knocked on the bathroom door four different times telling him to hurry up.Â
âHow does the one with superspeed take an hour in the shower?â Sam asks rhetorically. Sam, Wanda, and Peter are on the bed in Cooperâs room watching Pietro straighten out his shirt.
âHey, it takes time to look this good,â Pietro says as he fixes his collar. All three of them nearly roll their eyes. âDo you think Y/N will like this shirt?â
âYeah, if it was on Wanda, maybe,â Sam snorts. Peter holds back a chuckle while Wanda tries not to react.Â
âYou look nice,â Wanda says, not wanting to tear down her brotherâs confidence. Everyoneâs attention is drawn to the closed door when someone knocks. They hear you ask if you can come in. Pietro responds, âOne second.â He goes to lean against Cooperâs desk casually and all three on the bed try really hard not to laugh. Peter has to shove his face in a pillow. âOkay, come in.â
You let yourself into the room, your eyes falling on Wanda immediately. âNot that you donât look nice in them, but do you really plan on wearing your pjs to the fair?â you tease her. âI mean, youâll for sure be turning heads, if thatâs the plan.âÂ
She replies, âI was waiting on the shower. Someone was taking their time.â She points her head in Pietroâs direction who gives you a nod in acknowledgement and a ââsup?â Samâs mouth forms a line trying so hard not to laugh out loud. Peterâs face stays hidden behind the pillow but you can see from the side of his neck his face was getting red. You feel like you walked in at the wrong time given everyoneâs behavior. You tell Wanda, âYou might want to hurry. Clint says weâre leaving soon.â With that you turn to leave wondering what you had walked in on.Â
When you shut the door, everyone in Cooperâs room excluding Pietro bursts out laughing.
âWhat the hell was that, man?â Sam asks between fits of laughter.
Peter gets up and leans against the desk to mimic Pietro, ââSup?â Everyone laughs again, Pietro leaning over to slap Peter in the back of the head.
***
They take the family car and Natâs car to the fair. Sam and Peter ride with Nat while the rest of you ride with Clint driving. As you wait in line to buy tickets, you lean over Wandaâs shoulder, who is standing right in front of you with her back to you, and say âI meant to say this earlier but you look nice.â
She smiles and then turns around to face you as you take a step back. She jokes, âI thought I looked good in my pyjamas but someone implied it wasnât appropriate for the fair.â
âOh definitely not appropriate. It was way too sexy. We couldnât have that around the children,â you reply making her giggle.
âYou donât look too bad either,â she returns the earlier compliment, taking in your outfit as you shuffle forward with the rest of the line. âYour outfit is very nice.â
âOh, this. I just threw it together.â No, you didnât. You took your time with it. âBut thanks,â you wave her off. When you reach the ticket stand, you rush in front of Clint to pay for yours, Wandaâs, Lauraâs, Natâs, and the kidsâ tickets. You explain to him when you are all walking together that you kind of owed Wanda for something and you were the one who promised to take the kids here much to Nat and Lauraâs displeasure so you kind of owed them too.Â
You make it inside the fairgrounds. A giant banner that reads âWESTVIEW COUNTY FAIR!â greets you overhead. Everyone gets excited upon seeing the banner and all the lights in the background. Well, everyone but Nat and Laura, Nat not ever a big fan of fairs and Laura not a fan of taking care of kids at a fair. Out of all the lights shining on the fairgrounds, your favorite is the one shining through Wandaâs eyes as she takes everything in with wonder.Â
âSo what do you want to do first?â you ask her.
She turns to you and almost looks embarrassed. âI donât know. Iâve never been to a fair.â
âWhat?â you ask in shock. She shrugs not knowing what else she could say. âWell, itâs settled then. We are not leaving until you get the whole experience. Letâs go buy some wristbands for the rides. We are going on every single one.â Her eyes widen and the wonder in them from earlier shifts into nervousness. âItâll be fun, come on,â you reassure as you drag her to another line, leaving everyone else behind.Â
You and Wanda get on every ride but the ferris wheel telling her you have to leave that one for last. You even ride some twice, but you get hungry and ask Wanda if she wants to eat yet. She agrees that she could take a break for food. You try various things the fair offers wanting Wanda to try everything. âYou Americans like to fry anything you can,â she comments as she takes another bite of her fried oreo. She hums as she finishes it off. âI understand why,â she says, making you laugh.Â
You spot Laura and Nat sitting at a table near the stage where some band is playing music. You and Wanda head on over. Soon everyone regroups there, finishing off the food they bought and watching people dance. Clint pulls Laura to dance with him. You all sit at the table watching them with a smile when someone obstructs your view of them. You look up to see a tall guy in a black cowboy hat smiling down at Wanda beside you offering his hand out asking her to dance. She looks at you, unsure of what to say. You give her a smile that admittedly took you a second to form and nod encouragingly for her to accept. She smiles politely at him and takes his hand. You watch them dance, your eyes only ever straying when you see Wanda going to look at you. You watch when he leans down to tell her something in her ear and she laughs. You wonder what he told her that was so funny. Your eyes roam over him. Heâs handsome, youâll give him that. He has a nice face, good posture. You note he is also respectful with his hand placement when dancing, so you can appreciate that. It seems like Westview County has their own Steve Rodgers. The thought bugs you.
Someone blocks your view once again, only this time you are kind of thankful for it. You look up to see Pietro asking you to dance. âWhy not?â you say, wanting to do anything rather than stare at Wanda dancing with some guy. He pulls you to the dance floor. You enjoy your time dancing with Pietro though you get dizzy from how quickly he spins you. Youâre a little disappointed your dance is cut short when Lila taps your arm asking if she can dance with Pietro. You smile at her saying of course she can. With your distraction gone to dance with Lila, your eyes search for Wanda once more but you cannot seem to find her. You feel someone grab your hand and you are spun into that someoneâs arms. Your eyes fall to familiar green ones and you smile, âSmooth moves, Maximoff.â
âThank you,â she says with a smile as she starts to sway with you to the music. âYou let me dance with a stranger.â
âYouâre dancing with me now and we were strangers not so long ago,â you rebuttal.Â
âBut at least we know each otherâs names.â
âDid you not get his name?â you ask.
âI never asked for it,â Wanda returns simply, shrugging. You find it hard to believe that his name never came up so you say, âThat was a lot of talking for him to not have given you a name.â
âYou saw us talking? I would not have guessed you were paying attention. Every time I looked at you, you turned to look away,â she teases you.
You swallow, choking on the embarrassment of getting caught. âDoesnât matter. His nameâs probably Brad or something. He looks like a Brad.â
She laughs then catching on to your tone she asks, âY/N, are you jealous?âÂ
âWhat? Me, jealous?â you ask, astonished. She nods, smiling like she has her answer. âWanda, I could never be jealous of some Brad. Dance with a Marcus and then maybe, but a Brad? Pfft. No.â
She just laughs and pulls you closer. You let yourself go and dance with her until whatever song the band is playing ends. âLetâs go play some games. I feel like shooting something,â you say, making her laugh loudly.Â
Everyone decides to play with you as well so you all head over to the different stands. Nat wins the shooting game, Clint coming in close. He wins the popping the balloons with darts game. They give their prizes to Cooper and Lila. Peter and Sam spend some time with the hammer and bell game; Peter hitting the bell every time garners some attention especially from some girls which frustrates Sam. Pietro wins a fish when he plays ring toss. It seems like everyone but you has been winning something. Even Wanda won a stuffed panda she gave to Lila after playing a water shooting game. You were getting frustrated trying to knock some blocks off a stool. Youâve spent a good $20 on this game already. Wanda catching your frustration decides to help you out. When you are down to your last ball, you try your best to focus and throw the ball. Two of the three blocks fall down. The last one is teetering on the edge. You think youâve lost but a second later it falls over. You shout with glee. You ask the attendant for the keychain that has the letter W on it.
Wanda watches you with a smile as you approach her. âThank you for that,â you say, and when she tries to play naive, you continue, âI know you knocked the last block.â
She gives you a sheepish smile. You hold out the keychain to her. âI figure this only rightfully belongs to you. May it proudly hold your keys until you lose it.â She tries to say no but you take her wrist and place the keychain in the palm of her hand. âIt has your initial. You have to keep it.â
âIâm pretty sure the W is for Westview County,â she counters.
âA happy coincidence.â You donât take no for an answer and she finally smiles and thanks you, putting her new keychain away so she doesnât lose it. You look around to see the others still distracted with the games but you also catch your cousin yawn. You know this means youâre leaving soon so you grab Wandaâs hand and head over to the line for the ferris wheel.
You thank the attendant when he checks you have your belt on and pulls the bar to your lap. The wheel starts turning and when you are midway to the top, it shakes a little as two people get on the final empty cart. The shaking makes Wanda nervous. She grabs your hand almost protectively as her posture turns into one that looks ready for a fight. You turn your palm over to interlace your fingers and rub your thumb on her hand to try to soothe her nerves. âHey, itâs okay,â you say. She turns to you and you see her irises are red. âThey always do this. Weâre okay. Just donât rock the cart and weâll be good.â
She takes a breath willing herself to relax. The red in her irises fade back to her green. She sits back and the ferris wheel moves again, this time not stopping for people to get on. You keep holding her hand squeezing it from time to time in reassurance. You can see Clint and everyone from the ferris wheel and point them out to Wanda. The only ones to see you are the kids who wave to you. You wave back.Â
âDo you come to the fair every year?â Wanda asks.
âPretty much. Thereâs not much else to do,â you shrug. She ponders this for a moment and then, âSo youâve brought dates to the fair before, Iâm guessing.â
âYeah?â You say more like a question wondering where she was going with this.
âIn the movies, people on dates always kiss on the ferris wheel. Did you kiss them?â
âWanda,â you say her name but it comes out more like a warning.
âSorry, I was just wondering,â she mutters, then turns to look back at the fairgrounds.Â
âNo, I didnât.â You answer sincerely. She looks back at you. You explain, âThe two other people Iâve taken to the fair on a date were too afraid to get on the ferris wheel.â
âYou said âotherâ,â she says smiling at you.
You look at her confused. âWhat?â
âYou said âthe two other peopleâ meaning other than me. So is this date?â she raises an eyebrow, an amused expression on her face.
âA friendly date,â you say, making her frown. She huffs in defeat letting go of your hand and hold the lap bar instead. The night had been going so well, you didnât want this one thing to ruin it, so without letting yourself think it over, you wait until you get to the top of the ferris wheel. You lean into her space and look her in the eye to show her you are serious when you say, âDonât tell Nat or Clint.â She looks confused but the confusion quickly turns into a pleasant surprise when you gently grab her face and lean in to kiss her. It doesnât last long enough to give her a chance to kiss you back. You pull back with a cheeky smile and say, âI did promise the whole experience.âÂ
The kiss may have ended too quickly for Wanda but it was long enough for a few people to catch it. One of them being your cousin whose kids were pointing to you and Wanda on the ferris wheel in excitement. She just shook her head in amusement when she saw you kiss Wanda. The other person to catch you was Wandaâs brother who, when seeing you kiss his sister, just whines, âNo, Y/N.â

I'm sorry this took so long. I got sidetracked and then when I started I got stuck and in my true fashion, once I started writing, I couldn't stop and I couldnât leave you without taking you to the fair. So, I hope the length of the chapter makes up for the wait. Oh, Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there doing their best to be good moms! I created a house map of how I picture the inside to look, you know without the fine details.
Next chapter bring your bug spray, youâre going camping.

Miss American Pie
Chapter Five: This Will Be The Day (Finale)
Warning: this series features a romantic Yelena Belova x Fem!Reader pairing.
Summary: Everyone has returned but the battle for humanity against Thanos wages on.
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

You wake in a coughing fit, the rubble surrounding you sears your lungs. âNatasha.â You call into the rocks and flickering lights. Clearing your throat, you try again. âNatasha!â
âHere, Iâm here.â Her voice is rough, pained.
You push yourself toward the sound, through the dust you can make out her hair. âYou ok?â
âMostly.â Sheâs laying face up, a few scratches visible.
âWhat the hell does that mean?â
âI canât move.â She nods at the piece of collapsed cement. âMy leg is broken, you should go.â Nat says, staring up at the sky.
âI shouldâve never let you go to Vormir. Iâm so sorry, I didnât know.â You try uselessly to budge the blockage over her leg.
âWhat is Vormir?â She asks.
âDoesnât matter.â You swallow the lump in your throat. âHow much do you remember?â
âThe red room.â
âDo you remember getting out?â
âNo one gets out.â She shakes her head.
âWe did.â You inform her. âYelena did.â
âYelena?â Her gaze finds yours. âYou know Yelena? Is she here?â
âYes, I know her.â You press your lips together. âSheâs not here though.â
âThe rest of this building is coming down. If you were really trained in the red room you have to know that.â Natasha frowns. âYou need to leave.â
âNot gonna happen.â
âDonât be a hero.â She whispers. âLet me go, itâs ok.â
âNo, itâs not.â You argue. âI wonât do it again.â
âWhat about Yelena?â Natasha gives you a pointed look.
âSheâll understand.â This is what she would do.
âHey,â Natasha pushes herself up on her elbows. âWould it be a good thing or a bad thing if a giant man in a metal suit carrying a smaller man and a raccoon appeared behind your head?â
You turn toward the man in question. Scott Lang. âIt would be a good thing.â
âââââââââââââââââââââââ
Natasha is taken somewhere safe. She canât fight.
As the strange doctor and his disciples start opening portals you see that youâre not alone. Through one comes Alexei, Melina and Yelena.
Her white suit is pristine, dirty blonde hair held away from her face in ponytails.
On shaky legs you move toward her, taking your rightful place at her side. Facing what lies ahead together.
Yelena catches your hand, âthis isnât much of a welcome home.â
You canât help but laugh, âpretty cool way to die though.â
âVery,â she agrees. âNatasha?â
âShe is a little worse for wear.â You warn her, âbut aliveâŠand safe.â
Yelena gives you a watery smile, squeezing your fingers. âAnd you?â
âA tower fell on me.â
âOf course it did.â
Thanosâ army is nothing to scoff at. Giant airborne creatures hover over his troops. Larger monsters stand in their ranks, space ship overhead ready to destroy.
Steve is almost unrecognizable, covered in dirt, his shield battered and broken. But you know it is time when he gives the order. âAvengers, assemble.â
Fighting is easy, itâs what you know. What you were trained to do. Fight to stay alive, fight for what you believe in, fight with Yelena; for Yelena.
The two of you move together like a well oiled machine. Like riding a bike, even after all this time you could never forget.
âWeâve got company to the left.â Yelena says through gritted teeth, kicking at the alien creature beside her. Dropping an empty cartridge to the ground and reloading her gun seamlessly, firing several shots.
Despite everyoneâs best efforts they just keep coming. âDo we have a plan here?â
âGetting there,â Steve replies. âAnybody have eyes on the gauntlet?â
âYeah!â Clint rushes past you with the glove in hand. âWhat am I supposed to do with it?â
âGet it out of here!â Tony insists.
âWhatâs happening?â Alexei shouts over the chaos. âI still donât have ear piece.â
âJust keep their army away from that guy in the tank top.â You grunt, falling backwards from the force of one of Thanosâ soldiers colliding with you.
âWe have to get the stones back where they came from.â Rhodey reminds everyone.
âThe time space tunnel is completely collapsed.â Tony points out.
âThat isnât our only time machine.â Lang cuts in.
âDoes anyone see an ugly brown van out there?â Captain Americaâs voice hums through the ear bud.
âI do,â a female voice chimes in. âBut youâre not going to like where itâs parked.â
After grappling for far too long, you manage to knock the creature from you. Using your knife to dismember it.
âNext time, we get the cool laser guns.â Yelena yells loud enough to be heard by everyone on the network, as she hauls you to your feet.
âFriday, please add laser guns for the ballerinas to my grocery list.â Stark gives his smart ass remark.
âWhatâs the word on the van?â Rhodey wonders.
âWorking on it now.â
The ship at Thanosâ disposal begins raining fire, no regard for their own troops.
âWeâve got people going down!â Rocket hollers.
âClint,â you call into the microphone. âHowâs that gauntlet?â
âMoving down the field.â The archer replies, âIâm alright too, thanks for asking.â
âGood.â You bite back a smile.
Hell continues breaking loose around you. Glowing circular orbs unfold in the air above, providing coverage from the missiles. Youâre not sure if this is winning or losing. It feels like a bit of both.
âââââââââââââââââââââââ- Thanos and his army are dusted away. Leaving you surprised and still swinging as the shock wears off.
You won. You. Won.
And you lost.
You lost Tony Stark. The man youâd barely known, but offered you clarity that will stay with you forever.
You lost the Natasha youâd come to know over the five years that Yelena was gone. Some parts of the redhead stripped away for the price of the stone.
But sheâs still here. Waiting in the wings to be greeted by Yelena and their little makeshift family. You share a look of understanding when your eyes meet over the blondeâs shoulder.
Others come, Banner refuses to leave her side. Despite the fact that Natasha doesnât remember him.
Clint falls to the ground at her feet. Breaking down at the sight of his friend, his family alive and well. She doesnât remember him either, but welcomes him into her arms somewhat awkwardly.
Her expressions flicker from happy to overwhelmed. Hesitant to open herself up to the possibility that she is wanted, needed and loved.
Too confusing for the girl who only remembers the red room. Adjusting to this life will take time.
Everyone begins clearing out, their jobs finished. Rushing home to reunite with their loved ones. Tomorrow will bring about new challenges. The world is in shambles, and so are you.
Steve decides that he should be the one to return the stones. His goodbye tells you that he has a bit more in mind. But this is his life. His choices, not yours.
âWell, I guess we should head out too.â You say after a while. Your car is gone, lost in the wreckage from the explosion.
The setting sun is eclipsed, causing all of you to turn your gaze upwards just in time to see the shipâs door open.
âIs that a raccoon?â Melina asks, pointing toward Rocket.
âDo you want a ride or not?â Rocket shoots back.
âNot the avengerâs super jet, but it will do huh?â Alexei smiles, this is his dream.
âThis is better!â A manâs voice carries down from the interior.
âWell,â Yelena shrugs, âif you say so.â She leads the pack up the ramp and onto the ship.
âFanny and the pigs will be expecting dinner soon.â
âHow are they?â Melina asks, âhave you been taking care of them.â
âThat was me!â Alexei says proudly, bending at the waist to gather Natasha into his arms. âAye honey,â he grunts, hoisting her up. âYou are only little girl in my heart.â
Nat pushes against his chest in retaliation.
âDo you mind if I hitch a ride too?â Clint asks.
âThe extra stop will cost you,â Nebula stares blankly at him from her seat.
âThey always do.â He remarks, trotting up the ramp.
Bruce paces at the foot of the metal grate, watching the rest of you load up. âI gotta hang back, make sure Steve gets there in one piece.â
âAfter what happened with Scott the first time Iâd say thatâs probably the best bet.â You agree, standing near the entrance.
âYeah,â he smiles, kindly. âKeep me posted on Nat, will ya?â
âI will,â you return the smile.
âIâll see you around.â
You nod, âIâll see you.â
The captain of the ship introduces himself as Star-lord, and after a moment without response, Quill.
âAny requests?â He asks, finger hovering over the control panel.
Alexei creeps over to the younger man, quietly relaying a message.
âAlright,â Quill nods. Stroking the keys until a familiar set of notes ring out.
âA long, long time ago-â The singer croons.
You let out a chuckle.
âI can still remember how that music used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, that I could make those people dance. And maybe they'd be happy for a while.â
âWeâre really doing this?â Yelena puts a hand to her head, the corners of her mouth turning upward.
âBut February made me shiver, with every paper I'd deliver. Bad news on the doorstep, I couldn't take one more step.â The melody carries on.
âItâs your song.â Natasha turns to her sister.
âI can't remember if I cried. When I read about his widowed bride.â Melinaâs eyes are far away, carried back to their years in Ohio. Before the world had been so cruel.
âSomething touched me deep inside, the day the music-â
âDied.â Yelena joins in, lulling her head to the side to gage your reaction.
You sigh, all of this beyond surreal. But you allow yourself to live in this moment, because you might not get another. âSo bye, bye Miss American PieâŠâ
âDrove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry.â The roaring chorus of voices fills the silence youâve grown used to. Fills the parts of you that were empty for so long. âAnd them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye. Singin', âthisâll be the day that I die.â
âThisâll be the day that I die.â Yelena sings, her face alight with a childlike glee.
ââââââââââââââââââââââ-
Melina, Natasha and Alexei stay with you for a while. A few weeks as Natasha heals and becomes acclimated to her life.
She claims to hate the attention, but deep down you know sheâs full of it.
The Ohio house is bursting at the seams with five adults, nine pigs and one dog.
That isnât enough to keep visitors at bay. Namely Clint, his wife Laura and their three children.
Things feel a bit off when everyone begins moving out. Alexei, Melina, and their pigs return to the farm outside of Saint Petersburg.
Natasha finds herself drawn to New York, with Bruce and the makeshift building heâs using as a lab.
You adjust to the steady thrum that is daily life, with Fanny and Yelena.
After dinner you load the dishwasher, drying your hands on the nearby tea towel before selecting a cycle.
âSo how does it feel?â Yelena asks, leaning against the doorframe.
âHmm?â You turn to face her.
âBeing a hero.â She clarifies, a smile playing at her lips.
âIâm not-â
âOh cut the crap, Y/N. You saved the world.â Yelena narrows her eyes at you.
âI did it for you.â You say simply, because itâs true.
Yelena closes the space between you, âwhy?â
âYou know why.â You whisper as she cups your face in her hands, gently stroking her thumb over your cheek. âItâs ok if you wouldnât have done the same.â
âIâd do more for you, and worse.â She assures you. âBut do you really want to spend the rest of your life fumbling around feelings in the dark when you could have someone who-â
âI want you. I only ever want you.â You beckon her closer. âAnyway I can have you, that will be enough for me.â
Sometimes wires get crossed and you want things you never have before. And she provides them before you have a chance to ask. You give back to her tenfold, so that neither glass is ever empty. That is love. True love, the only way youâve ever known it.
âI am yoursâŠin every way a person can belong to another.â Yelena breathes, âand then some.â

i choose you
pairing: Loki x gn!Reader
summary: Youâre hanging out with the Avengers when the game turns into either/or questions and you have to pick between Steve and Loki, but you have the biggest, most secret crush on Loki, so you say Steve. Loki convinces you to change your answer.Â
warnings: noneÂ
word count: 2.6k
a/n: I wrote this for day 28 of swoon june: domestic. And this is the most swoon worthy thing iâve written the entire month lol
                         ***
âBanana pudding or french fries?â Natasha asks.
âFrench fries,â Tony says immediately. Clint agrees. Loki nods his head in agreement as well.
âPudding,â you say. Steve hums his agreement.
âPudding is delightful,â Thor agrees.
âMy turn.â Clint grins, and you and Nat share a look. You know what this means. Itâs going to be another ridiculous question.
Clint turns his head in your direction. âThis one is specifically for y/n.â You donât know what question he intends to ask, but you can read that teasing glint in his eyes. âSpend the rest of your life with Steve or Loki?â
You laugh. âWhat? Thatâs not like the other questions.â
âYes, it is. You just have to make a choice.â
âMake a choice?â You laugh again. It sounds uncomfortable to your own ears. âYouâre being ridiculous.â
âAm I?â Clint retorts. âItâs a simple question. Loki or Steve?â
You glance at Loki and find him still watching you from his place on the chair next to the sofa where you are currently perched on. You flick your gaze to the rest of the Avengers around the room, either on the same sofa as you or one of the other chairs. The movie night turned into truth or dare and then random questions as the night wore on, and now itâs two-thirty in the morning and clearly, your crush on Loki isnât as hidden as you thought it was.
âI know whoâd I choose,â Nat says. âItâs not a hard choice. Weâve all seen Steveâs muscles. Those rock-hard abs.â
âAnd his chiseled jawline,â Tony adds.
âCâmon, y/n, we all answered the questions. I donât get why this is such a big deal.â Clint leans forward from the chair diagonally across from you.
You know hesitating isnât good, but you also know that admitting to your crush on Loki is not good. You donât want all the teases. You just want the feelings to go away and stop complicating your life.
âThe hesitation says a lot.â Tony is staring at you now, and youâve never been able to hide anything from him. And youâre lucky Nat decided to drink tonight, or sheâd be reading all your secrets too.
âFine. Fine. Cap of course. The whole star-spangled thing is... eye-catching.â
The laughs sound out and Clint smirks. You donât look at either Steve or Loki as the game continues.
âAlright Thor, whatâs your question?â Clint asks, allowing the game to continue, and youâre so grateful. The game goes for another hour, and you find the questions easier when theyâre not about Loki and so itâs fun to make fun of the other Avengers and listen to their laughs. Itâs so joyous here, and youâre glad to be a part of it.
âWell, I hate to be the responsible adult here, but Iâve got a 7 am meeting, Â so letâs call it a night.â
âTony? Responsible?â Nat laughs.
âOnce in a lifetime achievement. Youâre all lucky to be witnesses.â
The teasing continues as they leave the living room for their floors. You donât notice youâre following Nat to the kitchen until youâre both putting your glasses in the sink.
Nat nods to you and leans forward. âYou canât fool me.â
You blink. âIâm tired. Talk in the morning?â
âGlad you know I wonât let this drop.â Her eyes soften. âBut yes. I will let you sleep first, figure out your story.â She winks.
Thereâs movement from beside you. and you donât have to look to know itâs Loki.
âWant me to walk you back to your room, or should Loki do the honors?â
You know youâre blushing. but you look to Loki and then back to Nat and glare at her. âIâll let you walk me back.â
Loki moves quicker than youâre expecting, stepping toward you with a small smirk on his face, mischief and something softer in his eyes. âWrong choice, darling.â
And oh, oh, youâre gone. Your breath catches and you donât really think you can feel your heart anymore and is it possible to be instantly five degrees hotter? Itâs his voice that does things to you that should be illegal and the way he moves toward you with such intent, and whatever he asks you know youâll give it to him.
Your back hits the fridge, and youâre helpless to look away from his eyes, his cheeks, his lips, his chin, his eyes, his lips.
âWant to reconsider your answer to that question and a previous one tonight?â
Your heart is pounding in your chest, throat dry, and the chill of the fridge isnât enough to cool you off.
âWhat?â Youâre barely capable of coherent thought right now. Lokiâs leaning in now and your brain is white noise and is your heart pounding straight out of your chest?
âMe or Steve?â You stare at his lips as they form those words and have to swallow before dragging your gaze back to his eyes, flashing green and entirely serious and oh, oh no, he canât play with you like this. Doesnât he know what he does to you?
âWhat would my answer change?â You arenât breathing correctly anymore and you donât know why you donât just admit that duh, itâs Loki. Itâs always Loki because itâs so obvious now as you can hardly control your reactions to him.
âWhether or not I kiss you goodnight.â
Your eyes go wide, your mouth falls open, and your heart stops beating, lungs stop working, brain stops processing.
Natâs laugh is what brings you out of it. âI think you broke them, Lokes.â
Loki doesnât take his gaze off you, and thatâs what kicks your brain back online. Heâs not laughing or smirking. Heâs serious. Maybe just to satisfy his curiosity, but you know how few in his life actually choose him and you want him to know that you do. You choose him. Over everyone.
You bite your lip a second before taking a breath and answering.
âOf course itâs you. Didnât want to admit it because of all the teasing so I said Steve. But itâs been you for a while now.â You look away and shrug, not sure you want to see the rest of his reaction as his expression didnât change as you spoke.
âOf course?â And he sounds confused so you meet his gaze now.
âWouldn't seriously choose anyone else.â You mumble out, embarrassed by it because Nat is still there.
âLetâs get you to bed.â Loki holds out his hand. Itâs instinct to grab his hand, and itâs warm and calloused yet soft all at once, a contradiction just like him. And when Loki pulls you to his side and you can feel his body against yours, your brain blanks out again.
Itâs a silent walk back to your door, and you wonder what Loki thinks of you now, but itâs three-thirty in the morning and you donât quite care anymore so you keep his hand in yours as you step from his side to punch in your door code. (It helps you sleep better to have a code on your locked door, despite knowing that you are beyond safe in the Avengers tower.)
âGoodnight, darling.â He brings your hand to his lips and presses a kiss to the already warm skin, his mouth warm against your hand and itâs a moment that should remain unbroken forever and it seems to go on for just that long, but Loki raises his eyes to meet yours and then itâs over and his hand is slipping from yours and you step forward, not quite sure what youâre doing but knowing you donât want this to be over. But Loki knows better than you what you want and as your fingers touch his face and your palms slide along his cheeks heâs already in your personal space with his face inches from yours.
âYouâre tired, love.â And you know heâs right. You know that youâre only doing this because you donât want this to go away in the morning, not because youâre ready. Youâre not one to rush into things. And you definitely donât want to rush this if tomorrow you wake up and itâs still here and Loki is still serious.
âYouâll be here in the morning?â you ask.
âYou choose me. Iâll choose you.â His breath is warm against your cheek, and you sag forward into him letting your hands fall from his face and your head fall to his chest.
âYou donât knowââ
âWhat that means.â He finishes your sentence and places a hand under your chin and tilts your face up so that he can look at you. âI hope you know what your words mean and that you donât use them in vain because I would never lie to you.â
Heâs serious, his words fanning across your cheek. And you swallow, bite your lip to keep from saying something unintelligible. You just nod quickly over and over again.
âThe morning then.â He smiles, soft and warm, and leans down to press a kiss against your forehead. âSleep now.â
He steps away, and you feel the absence of his touch down to your very soul. But itâs okay because youâll see him in the morning. So you turn and you open your door and you donât look back. For this to work, there has to be trust. And you trust that these late-night words and touches will mean so much more in the morning.
                           ***
The morning comes, and Loki finds you after breakfast right as Steve invites you on his morning run. Sometimes you join him, depending on how youâre feeling, and after staying up so late last night youâre not really feeling it, but Steve wouldnât be Steve if he didnât try to encourage you to go running with him, listing the benefits of running. And you know heâs right, thatâs usually why you give in, and this morning youâre on the verge of giving in when Loki walks in and wraps his arms around you.
His arms slide around you, and the warmth of his body boils you alive. Youâre blushing, and it only gets worse when you meet Steve's eyes and he raises a brow.
Loki rests his head on your shoulder, his dark hair tickling your neck. âGood morning, darling.â
His voice is still raspy from sleep, and you turn and his grip tightens and youâre so not okay right now but yep, yep, heâs still in his pajama top and bottoms with his sleep mussed hair and holy hotness, did he even brush it or did he just finger comb it, and oh, how you wish that it could be your fingers running through his dark hair. It has to be soft right? Oh, please let it be soft.
âI'll see you for our run tomorrow,â Steve promises and leaves the kitchen, and youâve already forgotten what Steve was talking about, but you manage a nod and thatâs all.
âYouâre tense,â Loki muses.
âYouââ You clear your throat. âYou have your arms around me.â
Loki pulls away, leaving you feeling cold. He comes to stand in front of you. âI thought weâd agreed to do this.â
âDo what?â You shake your head. âI got like four hours of sleep. I don't really remember everything that was said.â You bite your lip as you move past him. Thatâs not entirely true because you remember most everything that was done and said by Loki, but youâre not sure of the meaning behind any of it.
âOh.â
You turn back around once youâve poured yourself a glass of water for your suddenly dry throat. Loki looks contemplative and a bit discouraged.
Loki looks up at you with a sudden grin. âWell, you said youâd choose me over Steve. Every time.â
You know youâre blushing again, and itâs ridiculous but all you can answer is, âYes, thatâs true.â
âAnd then I said I choose you. And that is still true.â
âRight.â You open and close your mouth for a moment, looking for the words. âAnd that means what exactly?â You take a breath. âBecause for me it means that like I...I want to date...you.â You watch his reaction, and his smirk has you burying your face in your hands with a groan.
âQuite eloquent.â He comes up beside you and takes hold of your hand, the warmth of the contact shooting through you and causing you to raise your head. âBut I appreciate the honesty.â He brings your hand to his lips and then releases it and steps away one step. He leans on the counter and looks up at you, blue eyes now serious. âI would like to woo you. make you mine. I believe you midgardians do call it dating.â He smiles.
You nod and proceed to stumble over your words. âYeah, no, yeah, that, uh, is good.â
Loki laughs and turns his head away as he moves into a standing position.
You know your face must be redder than Thorâs cape at this point, and you feel like youâve been laying out in the sun for far too long but youâre overjoyed too. Loki wants to date you. Last night wasnât some sleep-deprived misunderstanding. Youâre on the same page.
âSo like if we went out for hotdogs in Central Park and ice cream, thatâd be our first date?â
Loki tilts his head with a questioning smile. âYou really want our first date to be disgusting hot dogs from an unsanitary street merchant?â
You laugh because youâre nervous. âNo. I know you donât like hotdogs. I know that. I justâŠâ You take a deep breath. âI don't need anything fancy. I don't want anything fancy. IâŠâ And your smile goes soft. âI just want to spend time with you. Actually, Iâd be more fine with ordering in hibachi and turning on the PS4 and crushing you at Star Wars Battlefront, and then going out for ice cream. Bad or awkward things tend to happen when I go out with the Avengers.â
Loki laughs. âYou do seem to be our bad luck charm.â
âRight, and I don't want to mess up our first date. So letâs stay in.â
âThat sounds wonderful.â Loki smiles, and your heart flutters in your chest. He's still in his pajamas just as relaxed as can be in the kitchen as the two of you plan your date, and it's unbelievable in a sense that last nightâs game turned into this.
âI should go get dressed.â He moves forward. âIs it frowned upon to kiss on the first date?â
You shake your head, and he takes a step closer.
âRight, and the date begins when exactly?â He tilts his head and narrows his eyes and that shouldnât be as attractive as it is.
âNow,â you say, blinking up at him.
He smiles, slow and sexy, and you find yourself leaning toward him. He steps close, a hand on your waist.
âI'm going to kiss you now.â
âYep.â
He dips his head down and his hand comes up and tilts your chin up. His lips are warm against yours and you melt against him. He slides his hand from your chin to your neck before sliding around to your shoulder, providing his arm as a cushion for your head. Itâs the softest, most gentlest kiss, and you never want it to end but end it must as all good things do.
Loki pulls away with a small soft smile on his lips and you lean up and kiss him again, just a simple press of the lips to his. He grins and laughs. And you laugh too, staring into his blue eyes and hoping that that kind of a kiss will happen a hundred times again. Youâll never tire of it, never tire of Loki. And you get the feeling he feels the same about you.

hi nat!! i noticed requests were open and remembered ârandomlyncrying during/after sexâ angst being mentioned and i justđđłđ
ive had personal experience with that (mostly bc being vulnerable and intimate is scary yet cathartic for me, its not even necessarily sad crying or happy crying its just Strong Emotions) and i was wondering if u could do some like smut to hurt/comfort kinda with that specific scenario pleaseđ€ maybe with risotto or abba bc i just want to be fucked AND comforted by a big strong goth man!!đ©đ
overwhelming - risotto x reader (2k)
warnings: crying during sex. afab reader. neutral pronouns.Â
Everything about Risotto is overwhelming. The way he looks at you; the colours of his eyes. The low, gravel voice â the way he speaks only when he thinks he has something worth hearing. The touch of his hot, large hands on your skin â his width, his height, the knowledge of what he could do to you--
Itâs even more overwhelming when you are beneath him in bed.
His body caging yours; the scarred, muscled chest and how it seems to heave in and out as he breathes. The scent of him â leather and iron and smoke â wrapping all around you, until he is everywhere. In your nose, in your mouth, his face flashing across your head as you pull him down into another kiss and he worries at your bottom lip, insistent and hot and needy.
Big hands run all over your form; taking his time to enjoy the way you feel, the curves and divots of your figure, the softness of you beneath his own calloused, work-weary hands. You feel like you fit into his grip perfectly â like you were made for him. You inhale sharply as his hands spread your legs apart, exposing the heated, slick valley of your sex to the warm air of the bedroom.
It always seems to be warm when Risotto is around. He kicks out heat merely by existing; and you cling to him in bed for it, grateful to be reminded of his presence.
âYouâre so beautiful,â he dips his head to murmur, his voice deep and dark. Whenever he speaks, you feel a rush of desire go through you to pool at the apex of your thighs; there is something about the sonorous bass of his voice that makes your toes curl and that echoes through you, making you feel as though you are the only person in the world. âLook at yourself, tesoro.â
You do not see what he sees â but you do see the worship in his eyes. The hunger as he presses your legs further apart and leans into you, as you feel his hard cock press against your thigh insistently.
He is a careful man, despite his profession, and he knows that what he has between his thighs is too much for many people. He never sheaths himself inside of you straight away; even now, when you are fair pooling slick on his already messy sheets, one of his big hands is cupping your mound.
Calloused thumb rubbing over your clit, coaxing heat and sighs and little rocks of your hips. One large, lone finger â sliding inside of you, rubbing against your walls with the practise of a man who knows your body as intimately as he knows his own. Your head rolls back and you display your neck for him; vulnerable, and needy, and utterly his. He does not leave your neck unmarked â his lips are on you in moments, sucking love-bites, nipping bruises, his finger still pumping in and out of you.
Two fingers. You tangle your own grip into his silvery pale hair and pull his mouth to yours so that you may kiss him â he tastes like iron, always. You do not find it unpleasant; blood is a taste that you have grown to appreciate, because it reminds you of him. Three fingers, and you hear the wet squelch of your arousal, feel it dripping out of you with every rock of his hand. His thumb has stopped teasing your clit, but the rough heel of his hand is now continuing the onslaught of pleasure. With every thrust, it rubs against the swollen bud, and you feel your stomach begin to tie itself in knots.
He pulls them out of you with a slick gush, the hand formerly buried inside of you coming to lift your leg so he can slot his hips in between you. His fingers are dripping wet, but he has eyes for nothing but you beneath him. Rose-red irises meet your own, as if to ask you; âis this alright? Do you need me to stop?â
For an assassin â for a man feared around Italy, though they do not know his name â Risotto is never anything but gentlemanly with you. He asks your permission, holds you afterwards, kisses you and soothes you and murmurs your name filled with affection even when you are around the other members of your team.
âSpecial treatment,â some of them huff, rolling their eyes â but they shoot you sly smirks. They do not begrudge their capo his happiness â not in such a business as theirs.
âRisotto,â you breathe, looking up at him. âPleaseââ
The please is enough. Your other leg is lifted gently, hitched up so he can press your knees to your chest. Youâve had to experiment with positions plenty, in order to find things that are comfortable with Risottoâs height and his size and your own limitations â but this one always makes him seem to hit you deeper, further. His cock head pushes against the tight ring of your entrance, catching on you--
And his eyes meet yours as he begins to press himself inside of you. There is so much tenderness contained within them that you are almost lost for words. You would not think that eyes like that could make you feel so utterly adored â when you had first met Risotto, they had filled you with fear. Now, though, you look at them and you see all of the things that Risotto is too afraid to say out loud, contained within their multitudes.
Heâs slow as he hilts himself, letting you feel the stretch of your walls around him. Heâs always slow with you â like heâs afraid you will break. People who see him out and about, you know, never imagine how careful or tender he is.
Your head tips back again, into the pillow, as you see stars. He always fills you up. Itâs indescribable, how right that he feels inside of you. You feel like he was made to slot inside of you â every time this happens, you donât feel quite right until his heavy balls slap against your sex and he has bottomed out, filled you up, and the two of you are as connected as it is possible for two human beings to be.
Your breath catches as he pulls out, as he seeks to find a rhythm that works for both of you. In this position, you cannot quite get purchase on his shoulders â but Risotto sees to that himself, his big hands entangling and entwining with your fingers to press your held hands either side of your head.
The position is intimate, his eyes staying glued to yours even as he slips into a rhythm. His face is softer than you usually see it as he looks down at you; his sculpted lips tilted at the corners in a way that makes your breath feel like it doesnât fit properly in your lungs.
You adore him so much.
Everything about him makes you feel like you are free-falling through a summer sky. You are, youâre sure, not supposed to be so deliriously happy with anybody, when youâre in a career such as your own. You should not be allowed to love him so freely and deeply â but the world has said you are. The world has dropped Risotto Nero into your lap in all of his occasionally awkward, stoic, handsome glory.
His hips flex in and out. He slides easily, through the slick glide of your sex â stoking up hunger and need, the tight little ball of tension inside of you that signifies your release. You hear the sound of him fucking you, the slap of him bottoming out, and you lose yourself entirely in the sensation of Risotto filling you up.
The world seems to fade into nothing but the place where the two of you are joined; nothing else important, aside from Risotto inside of and above you, his breath unsteady in his chest. The heat thatâs gathering low in your belly, as he chases your release along with his own--
After his earlier ministrations, itâs no wonder that yours creeps up on you faster. Your ball of tension is the first one to take too much pressure, to be unable to do anything but explode into pieces â and it does so in a great rush that has you wailing, your mouth opening, as your mind seems to blank out into nothingness at the same time as every feeling in the entire world seems to hit you all in one go.
Youâre crying?
Youâre sobbing.
Your shoulders are shaking, your lip wobbling, your throat so dry that you can barely gasp air as it feels as though every emotion that you have ever experienced seems to come around to visit you again, the feeling entirely overwhelming. You canât think. You canât breathe--
Risottoâs eyes are wide and full of concern, blood and ink gone to uneasiness that this is all his fault. Your eyes are blurry with tears, but you see him open his mouth to speak nonetheless.
âHey, hey--â his voice is quiet, through the haze of your tears, his hips stilling inside of you. âTesoro, amore, cara mia--â
The pet names just make your bubbling sob get worse; your breath short. You donât know what it is! Youâre not upset, youâre not angry, youâre not even so happy that you canât help yourself.
Youâre just feeling so, so, so much.
âRisotto,â you breathe out, hiccuping, and your legs are gently dropped from your chest. âRisotto, Iâm--â
âPlease tell me if somethingâs wrong,â he murmurs, low and dark. âIâll stop, Iâll do anything--â
âN-no,â you shake your head, aware that he is still buried inside of you â that your tears are stopping him reaching his full completion. âI-itâs not thatââ
He pulls out, carefully, and you miss the feel of him inside of you like a physical ache, even though he is still on top of you. He reaches down and kisses your cheeks, chasing the tears away. A half-laugh bubbles up through the heaving of your chest and the tears clogging up your throat.
âPlease tell me,â he repeats, again, all concern. His hands are still entangled with yours, as he leans down and puts his face very close to yours. If you stretched forward, just a little, you could rub your noses together, and the thought makes you smile despite yourself and despite the tear-tracks still drying on your face. âAmore, I promise I wonât be angry at you--â
âItâs just-- s-so much--â You say, eventually â lost for words, because how does one explain quite why they started crying with no real reason to? It had simply felt like everything had washed over you in one go, and your heart had not been able to handle it. Something about your orgasm had pushed forth all of your feelings, whether good or bad, and they had scrambled inside of your chest until all you could do was let tears roll down your face.
âIâm here,â he says, soft and slow. He lets go of your hands. Large arms wrap around you, pulling you up so youâre pressed against the broad expanse of your chest. âIâm not going anywhere.â
Heâs so warm. Your cheek rests against him; hard muscle and scar tissue. You can hear the beating of his heart, and in the end itâs that â steady, constant, true â that makes the tears finally stop leaking down your face. Your breath calms.
A big hand comes up to stroke through your hair, reassuring.
âIâm always here for you,â he says. âForever. Through anything.â
âI love you,â you say, all in a rush. You two avoid it; itâs hard to deal with constants when youâre in a business like Passione. âI love youâ is not in the vernacular of an assassin â but neither is âforeverâ, and Risotto had said it to you as casually as breathing--
âI love you too,â Risotto says. His voice does not quaver. He is certain and sure; as strong as the arms around you, the chest youâre pressed to, as strong as his convictions always are. He means it.
And you are so, so very glad that he does.

Setting/Characters: The first half-ish of The Avengers in 2012; Reader, Steve Rogers, Nick Fury, Natasha Romanoff, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Thor, Mentions of Loki, Phil Coulson, and Clint Barton, OC!Agent Anderson
A/N: Hereâs One Shot Number 2! I was thinking of making it longer and adding the actual Battle of Manhattan, but I dunno if Iâm gonna do that. I just wanted these to be One Shots of first meetings and other smaller events. I didnât want to do scene-for-scene two parters. If you want me to, I can, I donât mind doing it, I just wasnât planning on it. Iâve kinda been slacking today, which is why I havenât cranked out more than this one, but Iâll see if I can finish one more for tonight. Tomorrowâs another late night for me at work, BUT! Tomorrow night FATWS comes out! So I will be doing the next Episode! I also donât have Friday off this week, so the Parts might bleed into Saturday, but they will come this weekend!
Reminder that this has nothing to do with FATWS the show, but I donât have a title for my FATWS Series, which is what these are based off of, so this is what theyâre called for now! If you have any ideas for names, feel free to send them in! Iâm just too lazy to come up with something clever for the whole Series.
Thank you so much for reading! As always, not betaâd so please excuse any mistakes! Be kind to yourselves and others! Stay tuned and enjoy!

cjsinkythoughts Masterlist
You were exhausted, coming back from an assignment that lasted a little over two months. Itâd been your first one since you were assigned to help Steve adjust, and you were guessing theyâd keep you on desk duty for a few months before sending you back out again. Which frustrated you to no end.
But then you got back your personal cell phone from a fellow agent and, seeing you had a few voicemails - which you never had - you flipped it on.
âHi, Y/N.â Your lips turned up at the man you started growing close to over the past year. âI-I know youâre on a mission right now. I mean, you just left last week. Anyways, I justâŠI hope youâre doinâ okay. You probably wonât get this until later, butâŠstill. I hope youâre safe. I, uh, I got that book. The one you were joking about me getting. The U.S. History for Dummies one. It goes farther back than I need to know, but I still read all of it. It helped. I wish you were here though. But I know youâre working. And thatâs important. Um⊠I guess Iâll see you in a few months.â
The phone beeped before the next message played. âI took your advice. I got a sketchbook and some other stuff. Thereâs a ton of new supplies. Iâm kinda excited to try them out. Maybe theyâre not new but theyâre more accessible now than they used to be. And I found a gym. In Brooklyn. Itâs kinda run down - a hole in the wall type place - but they donât do memberships and they donât care how long you stay as long as you pay for your time. So thatâs nice. I guess. AnywaysâŠhi. I donât think I said that earlier. Itâs Steve, by the way. But you probably guessed that. UmâŠthatâs all. I just wanted to let you know. Stay safe, honey. Abbyssinia.â
You listened to the next couple ones, all along the same lines. Steve telling you about his day; about the dog he was allowed to pet on his run or the different coffee he tried this morning at your previous suggestion. You snickered a little, shaking your head. You would never guessed that Hitler hitting, Nazi punching Captain America was soâŠsoft. Cute.
His last voicemail was from earlier that morning, and it made her brow furrow. âHey, honey. I, uhâŠGod, I really wish you were here. I was told youâd be getting back last week, but then they said it might be another couple weeks because something happened? I hope nothing happened. Please be okay. Iâve really missed you. I know itâs only been a year, butâŠyouâre the only familiar thing I have right now. I guess Fury was right to choose you since you were the first person I saw. Thereâs a, uh, problem. Furyâs got a mission for me. Some guy named Loki stole the Tesseract. Which was HYDRAâs secret weapon. That blue cube thing. I was just getting used to laptops and fast food and thisâŠitâs just a lot. Overwhelming. You were always good at making things less intimidating. Iâve gotta go. Some SHIELD personnel are picking me up now. Weâre going toâŠsomewhere. Iâm sure you would know, but they havenât exactly told me. Hoping to see you soon, Y/N. Please be safe.â
You frowned at the information, looking up at one of your fellow agents, Anderson. âHey.â He turned his head towards you from his conversation with the copilot. âIs something going on at HQ?â
âThe Helicarrier.â Anderson corrected. âFury just called it in. Something with the Tesseract. And some guyâs mind controlling people. Heâs got Barton, apparently. The director is bringing a few people on board; Banner, Stark, Romanoff. Rogers, too, I heard. He wants you to be there ASAP, so weâre going there now.â
Letting out a sigh, you rubbed your eyes and nodded. âAlright. Letâs go see whatâs going on.â
*************************
Fury met you as you walked off the jet, lugging your duffle bag over your shoulder. You were still in your clothes from the mission; a human trafficking ring in Guam. Dirty, torn up jeans along with a white tank top hugging your torso and a flannel, unbuttoned, over your shoulders. One of your sneakers had a hole in it, too, and you were walking with a slight limp from the dislocated kneecap you got a few days prior.
âAgent.â He nodded in greeting, passing you a file. âThe others are waiting. We just brought in Loki.â
You chewed your cheek, narrowing your eyes as you scanned the information in the file. It had personal files of the others, but you didnât need to look through those. You knew Natasha very well, considering she taught you half the things you know, along with Barton. You knew Stark - of course you did - especially after you helped set Natasha up to be his secretary a while back. Banner you were also knowledgeable about, seeing as you went undercover to find him when he first took off and had been part of the tracking team on him ever since. Thor you had learned about after his fiasco in New Mexico from Coulson. And, last but certainly not least, Steve Rogers, who you knew better than any file could explain.
âWalk me through this; Thor and Loki are the real Thor and Loki? Like, from Norse myths?â
âApparently so. You know about the New Mexico incident with the two last year, donât you?â
You nodded, pinching your lips together tightly. âWell, yeah, but I thoughtâŠI dunno. I guess it just didnât click. So,â you tucked the file under your arm securely, raising an eyebrow at Fury. âWeâre fighting a god? An actual god?â
âWith an army of aliens.â He confirmed.
âWonderful.â You huffed as the two of you turned a corner, making your way onto the bridge, just in time to hear Stark talking to Banner about him turning into the Hulk.
âDr. Banner is only here to track the cube.â Fury butted in. You crossed your arms behind Fury, leaning on your good leg. âI was hoping you might join him. Before you do, this is-âÂ
âY/N! Youâre back!â
You shot a grin to the blonde, who perked up upon seeing you. âHi, Steve. Just in time, too, huh.â You nudged Natasha slightly. âHey, Nat. Sorry about Clint.â
She shrugged. âIâm just glad youâre here to help.â
âIâm sorry.â You looked over to find Banner frowning contemplatively at you. âDo I know you?â
You opened your mouth to answer, but Fury beat you to it. âFormalities later. Y/L/N, weâll bring you up to speed-â
âIâll get there, sir. How are you boys planning on tracking down the Tesseract?â You questioned, nodding in the two geniusesâ direction.
âIâd start with that stick of his.â Steve suggested, turning to look at the duo as well. âIt may be magical but it works an awful lot like a HYDRA weapon.â
âI donât know about that, but it is powered by the Cube.â Fury stated. âAnd Iâd like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys.â
A tall, broad as hell blonde looked at Fury, confused. âMonkeys? I do not understand-â
âI do!â Steve jumped in, pointing at Thor, before leaning back in his seat at the silence that came after his exclamation. âI-I understood that reference.â
You chuckled and shook your head, winking at Steve when he smiled bashfully at you. As the two scientists - was Stark a scientist? - started heading out, Steve hopped up, padding over to you.
âYouâre back early.â
âLate, technically.â You shrugged, letting him pull you in for a hug, your hand rubbing his back. âI got your calls.â
He pulled away, his ears turning red. âOh, yeah. I, uhm-â
You sniggered. âItâs fine, Steve. You can call me whenever you need to. Iâm just sorry I couldnât answer you sooner.â
âYou were working.â He shrugged half heartedly. âDid it go okay? Are you okay?â
âYes, Steven. Iâm fine.â You rolled your eyes just as a yawn threatened to escape your lips. âIf not a little tired.â You tapped on the star against his chest. âNice suit, by the way.â
âHa ha.â He grinned, eyeing your own clothing. âYouâre matching me.â He tugged on the red, white, and blue flannel hanging from your arms. âYou also look like shit.â
You snorted. âWow. What a gentleman. Letâs get this whole Loki situation over with so I can go to bed, yeah?â
He chuckled a little with a nod. âSounds like a plan, honey.â The two of you started out of the bridge. âYou should shower first, though.â
âYouâre a bully, you know that?â
âIâm just sayinâ!â
âIâm just sayinâ!â You mocked with a huff. âLeave me be, Rogers.â
His laughter was cut short, making you look over at him curiously, only to find his slitted eyes studying your movements. âWhy are you limping?â
âRelax, Captain. I just dislocated my knee. Itâs fine. Shit happens on missions, you know that.â
âIs that why you came back late?â
Shaking your head, you lead him to one of the private rooms the Helicarrier had so you could shower and change. âNo. I just needed a little more time. Thatâs all. Now letâs focus on the problem at hand. We can talk more later.â
He hesitated, leaning against the doorway and watching you set your bag on the small cot. âOkay. As long as youâre alright.â
Your heart jumped a bit at the concern laced in his tone, the apprehension in those blue eyes - which you found out had some green in them - making your breath hitch slightly. âI am.â You spoke softly with a firm nod of your head, trying to assure him and his worries. âI promise.â
âIâm gonna go check on Banner and Stark, then. Come find me when youâre done.â
You cleared your throat to recover yourself, throwing him a cheeky grin. âAye, aye, Captain.â
He rolled his eyes with a smile, before turning and walking out, leaving you alone and confused.
What was that? Youâd never had that reaction to anything. Your heart doesnât race whenever someone walks in the room. Not like it did with him. What the hell did that even mean?
You shook your head, clearing your throats. You didnât have time to dwell on that now. You doubted it was anything more than a fluke. You were just tired and seeing someone familiar, who was genuinely excited to see you was like a breath of fresh air after your operation. Thatâs all. Yeah.
With that decided, you headed to the shower, head spinning with new thoughts of this problem with the God of Mischief and that stupid blue cube.

masterlist | crossposted on AO3
âAnd then he told me that I am never honest about what I want and that I think too much,â you explained, drawing quotes in the air with your fingers.
Nat scoffed, getting a mug out of the cabinet in the office kitchen. âWhat a way to break up with someone,â she commented, turning on the coffee machine before turning to face you, âAnd how do you feel about it?â
You shrugged, âI knew things with Dreks would turn sour once I moved away but I did not expect it to happen this quickly.â
She nodded, not saying anything, and immediately you felt awkward.
Nat did have the reputation for being a good listener and maybe being a little noisy in the office you were working at but maybe it had been too quick to actually tell her the story of your most recent breakup?
âAnyway, uh, thanks for letting me rant about him,â you tried to save the situation, nervously shifting on your feet and trying to keep your hands from fiddling with the buttons on your dress.
âAnytime!â she smiled brightly at you, taking a sip of her coffee, âI am sorry that happened to you, especially since youâre so new to the city. Hey, maybe you could join me and a few of my friends for poker night tonight? I am hosting.â
âOh, uh,â you paused, surprised by her sudden offer and trying to figure out if it was genuine or just caused by your awkward demeanour. You did not want her to think you did not have any friends. âI ⊠I actually have something planned for the nightâ â sitting in my empty living room and sobbing because I donât know anyone in this big city â âmaybe next time?â
The woman in front of you nodded, her curls bobbing with the movement, âThat sounds good! I hope you have fun.â
âMe too,â you muttered into your cup, âMe too.â
*
âCan I buy you a drink?â
âNo thank you.â
âYou sure, doll?â the man eyed you up and down, a slimy grin on his face that made you shudder â and not in a good way, âYou and I could have a good time.â
âNo,â you replied, making sure to meet his eyes, âI am not interested.â
âShe said no, Clarke,â another voice piped up behind him, deep and demanding and positively surprised, you watched as Clarke huffed and ⊠left. With no protests whatsoever.
Who the hell was that?
âSorry âbout that,â the newcomer said, sitting down on the barstool next to you, âClarke is a pain in the ass.â
Your eyes roamed over him, your pulse still racing from the excitement. He was older than you, old enough to be your father probably and yet your first thought was that he was handsome. There were a few scars on his face, reaching up to the top of his head but his dark eyes had a twinkle in them that intrigued you and his lips ⊠stars, those lips looked so kissable.
The nameless man casually lifted a hand, ordering a beer for himself and you caught yourself staring at his fingers for way too long than was appropriate. Your tongue darted out to wet your lip as your mind conjured up images of those very fingers deep inside of you as he coaxed an orgasm out of you.
âHere you go, Boba,â the barkeeper put a bottle across the counter and the man next to you nodded in thanks.
âYou waiting for someone?â the man, Boba, asked, his eyes drifting over your form but instead of this icky feeling that you had gotten with Clarke, you felt ⊠flattered by the way his eyes lingered a little on the low neckline of your dress.
âNo,â you replied, crossing your legs, highly aware of how the hem of your dress rode up on your thigh, âWhy?â
âNot every day we have a woman come here dressed like that,â he shrugged, taking a chug of his beer. His Adamâs apple bobbed and you felt your cheeks heat up at the sheer hotness this man was exuding.
Stars, you needed to get laid.
Your eyes fell to the short black dress you were wearing. Sure, it might have been a risky choice to dress in one of your dressed from your clubbing days in the big city but you ⊠you had wanted to feel a little more like your old confident self. The one Dreks had liked so much.
You frowned.
âNo, I just â Iâm new here and just out of a relationship and I â sorry, I donât know why I am telling you all this ââ
âItâs alright,â Boba chuckled, grinning from ear to ear, âWhy donât you tell me all of it, hm?â
*
âSo, let me get this straight,â he rumbled, his eyebrows knit in confusion, âThis Dreks left you because you got a job offered in another city and you were too successful for him?â
âAnd because he thinks that I am not honest about what I want,â you added, taking another sip of your drink. It was getting late and you and Boba had wandered from the bar to one of the booths, accompanied by a few rounds of drinks.
He was funny and kind and so handsome you noticed yourself hanging onto every word that came from his very pretty lips. The way his eyes had widened when you had told him you had never ever played pool had been so funny you almost fell off your bar stool and it had been only his big hands on your waits that had kept you upright and they were so large and you wondered if he was proportional or â
âAnd are you?â
âAm I what?â you mumbled.
âCompletely honest about what you want,â he tilted his head, his lips closing around the bottle. His dark eyes were holding your gaze and you felt completely naked in his presence. In a good way.
âNo,â you breathed, squeezing your thighs together at this adventurous turn of events, âNo I donât think I am.â
âUp for an adventure?â Boba quipped, âEach one of us says something that completely honest. You start.â
Another sip of your drink later you gathered the courage to lean forward, knowing that your neckline was low enough he could see down your dress. âIf I am completely honest,â you whispered, âI think you are very handsome. A-and sexy.â
Your breath hitched as you watched him lean back, his legs spreading ever so slightly and stars was that â was he hard? He was. Oh stars, he was and he was big and you wanted nothing more than palm him over his jeans and â âIf I am completely honest, I can see that youâre not wearing a bra and that your nipples are hard.â
A whimper left you, a sudden instinct to show him more filling your head.
âIf I am being completely honest,â he continued with a growl, leaning forward so close you could smell his cologne, âI want to touch you very inappropriately.â
âMaybe I want you to,â you countered, swallowing nervously as you fiddled with the straw in your drink, âM-maybe I want to touch you too.â
He cocked an eyebrow and you swore there was a waterfall between your legs.
âReally?â a warm hand fell to your thighs, his thumb brushing over your inner thigh, âYou want to be touched by a man that is old enough to be your father in a bar full of people.?â
You never say what you want. Just once in your life, I want to see you be honest and upfront about what you want.
âYes,â you breathed, âYes, I want that.â
He took in a sharp breath, his nose nudging against yours and you wanted to kiss him. You wanted to kiss him so bad and when his lips brushed only slightly over yours you knew you would never get enough.
âUp for another adventure?â
You only knew this man for a few hours. And yet as you saw the twinkle in his eyes you wanted to do everything he told you to and more. He was an adventure. An excitant and someone you could be unapologetically yourself with.
âTake off your panties,â he instructed you, before nodding to the corner, âAnd I will teach you how to play pool.â
Before you knew what you were doing, your hands went under your dress, your butt wiggling as you hooked your fingers into the thing you were wearing. Bobaâs eyes were wide in surprise but it did not take long before a smug grin formed on his lips. His eyes went to your legs, watching as you pulled the lace from out of your dress.
Your cheeks were blazing and you were glad for the darkness of the pub and the fact that you were sitting in what seemed to be the boring part of the pub. All the other guests were in the other room that was dedicated to live music while you were in the one for sitting and talking and ⊠playing.
The black lace looked even more delicate in his hand and you squeezed your thighs together, your core pulsing, as he pocketed them.
âThe safe word is pineapple,â he said, looking at you open and honest, âIf at any point you want to stop, you say that, okay?â
âOkay,â you nodded, standing up and climbing over his lap, knowing that it afforded him a peek of your dress riding up. He growled. You giggled when one of his hands closed around your upper thigh, his thumb almost brushing against your core.
âReady, old man?â you teased him, swaying over to the abandoned pool table.
A hand landed on your ass, swatting the flesh and you squeaked, the noise being covered by the music from the other room.
âGo on, try and tease me, little one, you will see what it gets you,â the man threatened behind you, his hand squeezing your butt again, âI will fuck you so good, you wonât try to tease me again.â
Your hip bumped against the edge of the pool table and you watched with a smile as he got one of those cues for you. âAlright, show me what you know and weâll work from there, hm?â
You bent over the pool table, trying to line up your shot and gasped as you felt his warm body behind you. Warm hands closed around your hips, subtly pulling back against a rather large bulge and your eyes fluttered.
âAm I doing it right?â you asked quietly, trying to focus on the white ball in front of your cue.
âA little to the left,â Boba answered, his hands squeezing your flesh and you bit your lip to not make a sound. The hem of your dress was riding up and you squirmed, feeling how rough his jeans were against the back of your thighs. Your breath came laboured and you knew you had missed the shot but stars you did not care.
âYou missed,â he whispered into your ear, pushing his hips into yours and you whimpered.
âYes,â you pushed back, shamelessly rubbing yourself against him, âShould I try again?â
His teeth nipped at your neck, âYou can try again or I can take you outside and fuck you, whatever you prefer.â
You had never stood up so fast in your life.
There was a grin on his face, making him seem years younger, as he pulled you to the back of the pub and out into an alleyway. It was completely abandoned and dark, just perfect for what you had in mind because as soon as everything was clear, you threw yourself against him.
He kissed even better than you had thought, demanding and dominating but also so tuned for what you liked. Whatever made you gasp, Boba repeated it until you swore he could make you see stars with just his mouth on yours.
While your hands were on his back, trying to get him as close as possible and feeling the soft fabric of the flannel he was wearing, Bobaâs hands were busy getting access to your body. One hand had pulled down the neckline of your dress enough to bare one breast to his eyes before guiding on your legs up against his hips.
ââm clean,â you gasped between kisses, âAnd on the pill.â
âWhatâre you saying, little one?â he growled, rolling your nipple between his fingers. The cold night air made everything even hotter and you felt like your thighs must be glistening with how wet you were, âWant me to fuck you bare?â
There was hesitation in his eyes although no judgement and you shifted, unable to not grind against him enough to get that much-wanted friction on your clit.
âYes please,â you whimpered, leaning your head against the brick wall, âWant you to come inside me please.â
âKriffinâ stars where have you been all my life?â he asked, nipping at your bottom lip. While one hand was under your butt, the other worked at his belt and you whimpered, shamelessly circling your own clit while he was freeing himself. You felt like you were going to explode if he did not fuck you right now.
âPlease,â you whispered, arching your back and pushing your hips closer to him, âPlease, I need it so bad, I ââ
âHush now, little one,â he growled, deep and guttural, and you moaned when you felt his cock between your folds, âLet me take care of you.â
Nothing sounded better than that.
With your leg hitched high on his hips you strained to stand on your tiptoes, whining when he continued to rub his tip through your wet folds. You could hear the cars driving on the other side of the building and a street lantern a corner away served as a minimal light source.
âYou sure?â he asked, his hot breath fanning over your neck, âWant me to fuck the thoughts out of you, little one? Fuck you better than any of these young ones ever will?â
âP-please,â you nodded eagerly, mouth moving sloppily against his, âPlease, Boba.â
âGood girl,â he breathed, slowly pushing inside of you. You whined, the sound high in your throat and Boba planted his lips on yours, muffling your sounds. His hips moved slowly, rocking his cock inside you with every thrust until he was fully seated inside you.
âGotta be quiet unless you want everyone to know how good Iâm fucking you. We donât want that, donât we?â
Your eyes were wide as you shook your head, your breath trembling as he thrust inside you again and again. He was big and the grunts that left him as he worked himself inside you made you clench around him even more.
âThat feel good?â
âY-yes.â
âYou ready to come for me, little one?â his hand wandered between your leg, rough fingers brushing over your clit again and again as his mouth sucked at your neck, âI canât fuck you for long out here. Not as long as I want to. So, I need you to come around my cock like a good girl, yes? Can you do that for me?â
Eagerly you nodded, feeling the impending explosion already approaching faster than it ever had and when his fingers pinched your nipple and your clit at the same time all that left you was a silent scream. âFuck, yes,â he growled, speeding up his thrusts, âFeel so good clenching around me, ready for my come?â
âUh-huh,â you nodded, still clamping around him as your vision blurred from pleasure and alcohol. Shit, had it ever been this good with Dreks?
Boba buried his face in your neck, groaning as he pushed deeper inside you than before and coating your walls with his come. âSo good for me,â he murmured, planting kisses on your shoulder, a gesture that you more than happily reciprocated.
Now that the passion had subsided, everything became quiet and loud at the same time.
It quieted down between the two of you but suddenly the sounds of the outside world started to seep in. There were the sounds of the cars driving down the streets, the wind howling and the leaves in the trees rustling. You could hear people from in front of the pub, taking smoke breaks while the live music sounded through the streets.
You did not how to feel. There was absolute elation at what you had done. You had never felt this good in your life, your mind and body stimulated so much it made your knees weak. But now as he pulled out of you with a  wet sound and you both winced at the discomfort, you knew that you were also open to rejection.
And yes, you might have been unapologetically open about what you wanted but you also did not want him to just leave you now.
âYou okay?â he asked, gently pulling your dress down before reaching up and adjusting your neckline, âDo ⊠do you need a ride home?â
And in that dingy alleyway at the back of a pub, completely fucked out, you both smiled at each other and you nodded.
âThat would be nice.â

A Stark Halloween Party // Tony Stark x Plus Size Reader
Word Count: 1788 Warning: Light insecurity
There's this one girl. She wasn't a girl. She was a woman. She was bigger than other women. She was different. She loved herself. That's what drew big time tech billionare Tony Stark to her. He liked that she was confident. She was sometimes sarcastic under her breath when she thought no one could hear her. Tony realized that she was very similar to him. Tony didn't treat her like he treated Pepper. Pepper had actually decided to go to a law firm instead of working with Tony.
He knew y/n would be slower than Pepper in heels. He would only order her to stand beside him and write his work notes while he was in his lab. She would make him laugh. That wasn't easy for him since the New York incident. He loved to see her every day at 10am. Being confident was a great thing to be around Tony Stark.
Another thing about him, Tony always loved parties. No disaster would get him down when it came to a celebration or charity. Halloween was a big shen-dig for him. He was a man who liked costumes, too. He made everyone's costumes better yet he had someone else make the costumes; not that he didn't have an idea of the costumes but he couldn't sew. He decided after the computer generated the costumes to go and switch them up himself and give everyone Tony Stark appointed costumes.
He had called everyone in the compound to the main conference room. Everyone was surprised that Tony called everyone since there was nothing on the news or on the tv monitors hanging around the place, lately. He explained that he wanted to throw a Halloween bash. He started giving everyone their costumes and that their outfits will be sent to them when they get made. It was 2 weeks until Halloween. He could do it. He even thought about making them dress up as each other but after he chuckled about that he decided to go with traditional costumes.
Tony named off announcing the costumes explaining he used a generator so they won't guess he chose legitimately to give him and y/n similar matching costumes. or get annoyed if they didn't like the costumes he picked.
Steve. Sailor.
Natasha. Angel.
Y/n. Princess.
Clint. Ghost Face.
Thor. Pro Wrestler.
Peter Parker. Vampire.
Sam. Police Officer.
Scott. Devil.
Rhodey. Storm Trooper.
Wanda. Jessica Rabbit. (Mostly because of the hair)
Vision. Michael Myers.
Bucky. Werewolf.
Happy. Superman.
Loki. Plague Doctor.
and himself. Prince Charming.
It was a bit harder than he thought to give them all costumes. They all practically live in costumes. He chose the most ironic costumes he could. He however made sure he and y/N were matching. He wouldn't tell he didn't generate the costumes. Only FRIDAY knows.
Once everyone got their costumes, they're of course was arguements of why they got the costume they got. Tony rolled his eyes. "Deal with it." He smiled at y/N and went and left to go to his office. He ordered a famous designer to create the costumes except the princess one. He wanted to design that one himself.
"I can't believe I'm even coming to this party," Loki complained.
"Your face will be covered, Brother," Thor responded.
Loki groaned.
"I am stronger than any wrestler," Thor thinks. "I do not trust technology."
Steve looked at Natasha. "I considered joining the marines. I preferred to be an army soldier though."
Natasha was in shock and crossed her arms. "I am no angel. I would rather be a ninja."
Steve chuckles, "Tony's not going to change his mind."
Natasha rolled her eyes, "I blame the computer more than him."
Wanda looked to Steve and Natasha, "My costume is the most sexist outfit..."
Vision looks at her with a soft smile, "I would love to see you in that costume."
Wanda then forgets all her worries about being so sexy and caresses his cheek, "You ok with your costume babe?"
Vision nods, "I will wear whatever is given. I haven't ever celebrated Halloween before."
Wanda smiles, "Ok."
Vision tilts his head, "Who is Michael Myers?"
Wanda calmly describes the psycho to him.
Vision thinks, "I see..." He said that a lot.
Scott looks to Clint, "I'm just glad to be a part of this team."
Clint nodded, "I was going to take my kids trick-or-treating this year..."
Scott laughed, "Well maybe it won't be on actual Halloween."
Clint nodded, "Hope so." He wasn't too fond of his costume. The devil? Really? He disapproved.
Natasha looked at Clint, "Really? you think you got it bad? I've never worn a dress before. A white one at that."
"Computers aren't against you," Happy interrupted Nat and Clint.
Happy liked the idea of being Superman. Finally, he is a superhero like everyone else around him.
Happy looked at Peter who was over excited for being invited to his first Avenger/Tony/"Adult" party. "Are you alright kid?"
Peter nods and flops down on the couch. "Oh yeah. I am excited! I also love that Tony is making our costumes. He always makes me great costumes. You think I can invite MJ? and/or Ned? Do you think Mr. Stark would mind?"
Happy shrugged, "I don't think he would mind."
Bucky was quiet standing in a corner not caring either which way. but trying to think of what a werewolf costume would look like.
Rhodey thought a storm trooper would be cool. Star Wars is a classic afterall.
Sam was neutral about his outfit. He didn't care one way or another about being a police officer. He was trying to imagine himself in it. He could be a police officer. He loved helping people and saving the day. He felt like a police officer anyway. Just with the metal wings.
y/N was being quiet. She was worried now that her costume wouldn't fit once Tony gives it to her. Talk about embarassing. She hurriedly rushed up to her room to avoid anyone else. She wasn't an insecure person since middle school. She was surprised her confidence was currently faltering.
"Looks like the computer thinks you and I should match," She bumps into Tony.
"Tony... I didn't see you... sorry," y/n told him.
"Are you alright?" Tony arched his brow.
"I was wondering if... maybe I could pick my own costume. I mean I'll still be a princess... I just..."
"What are you afraid of... you don't want to match with me?"
"Tony... I'm not feeling well. I am going to my room," She left.
"Hmm... hey... y/N, wait!" Tony didn't understand why she wasn't happy or glad they matched.
She looked in the mirror and immediately went to bed after sighing loudly. She needed to get her mind off of the party. She wasn't even happy that she was even invited to one of the biggest shen-digs of the year.
She was very quiet during her work the following days. Tony was concerned. He had FRIDAY keep an eye on her for him. She was just anxious and didn't try to keep up with him anymore. She wasn't even wearing heels anymore.
The costumes came in from the designer. Tony already had everyone's measurements so he had sent them out. He didn't have y/n's so he tried scientifically to decide the size of her costume. She would never tell him or let him near her with a measuring tape. She would rather disappear than have ANY of the Avenger's Family know her size, especially Tony. She had a crush on her boss. Who wouldn't? He was Tony Freaking Stark. Tall, dark, handsome, rich, smart, and a superhero.
Everyone is glad how their costumes turned out. They fit just right and were amazing. Tony definitely appreciated the styles and the designs worth every penny. Everyone was happy with their costumes.
The night of the party y/n didn't come to the party hall. He went to her room and knocked on the door. She was crying on the edge of her bed with the dress in her lap, makeup running down her cheeks. "Why aren't you dressed?"
"I can't fit it."
"W... did you try it on?" She shrugs then sighs and shakes her head. "No..."
Tony just stared at her. "O....k. Come on I'll help you. If I have to wear poofy sleeves you have to wear the poofy dress."
She blushed nodding and stood up and he helped her dress into her costume, sucking in her stomach as much as she could so he doesn't see her 'girth'.
As a Prince and Princess, Tony and the reader smiling
"You look sexy in that costume," Tony smiled softly at her.
She blushed deep, "You're drunk and that's inappropriate Mr. Stark..."
"Call me Tony. Please... You've been here for 6 months... You're always with me. You know me better than anyone... You have pretty hair, y/n... and such soft, delicate figure... You are so beautiful. Now will you come downstairs and be with me at the party?"
She giggled, "We are at the party."
He smiled, "I made sure we matched."
"What...really?"
He nodded, "I wanted to be with you. I chose all the costumes. The generator was just me. Don't tell." He laughed. "You are my date on purpose."
y/N's eyes widened, "You wanted me to look like a giant marshmallow?"
Tony looked offended, "I wanted you to be mine."
"Wait... like me... and you?"
"Me and you..."
"What why? I'm not as hot as the other women you..."
"NEVER say you are less than anyone else. Where's the y/N I am used to that doesn't care what others think about how she looks? and Especially bimbos from my past. They don't matter. It's the past. This is the future." He takes her hand and puts a palm against her palm and smiles down at her.
" You know... you are such a catch. I'm attracted to you and all your beauty and snark. Yeah, I notice you. You have an old timey type of beauty like a princess... and I am your Prince. Well, I would call myself a King. You do everything for me. You know me better than anyone has ever..."
"He is so egotistical," Bucky said.
Tony rolled his eyes. "She is a Queen. My queen; not a princess."
Steve smiled soft. "She is sweet as can be. Princess was a perfect outfit for her. She better watch out for him. He will corrupt her." He laughs.
y/n grinned wide at Tony insecurities all gone and leans up and kisses him. "My Tony?"
"My y/N..." Tony kisses back passionately.
Everyone claps.

Little Hands (V)
Series Masterlist
Bucky treats you to a day out.Â
This is an entry for @star-spangled-bingoâ 2021. Word count: 1625. Square filled: âLucky (Clintâs dog)â
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader
Warnings: Police. Sad child.
A/N:Â This is so late and I am so sorry. Let me know what you think! And massive thank youâs to anyone who is still reading this disaster.

Morning brings a new perspective, a new ease in the way Bucky moves around Ana. He pretends he doesnât know that you witnessed the way they bonded last night, and for that benefit you donât bring it up. Itâs discussed and laid to rest with the intelligent smile you give him, one that he lets dissolve through his sternum and curl around his heart. Tendrils of soft hope, wisps of quiet connection, strengthening the friendship youâve established and glinting with promise of something more.
Something more might have to wait, but Bucky thinks youâve made it clear that it is there, on the horizon, awaiting you both. A future, one that, on his part, also involves the little soul that sits on top of the kitchen island, swinging her legs into the cabinets. Children are early risers, and so are superheroes, but today, on this cool morning, Anastasia has them beat.
So, itâs just the three of you. Bucky, and Anastasia, and you. Youâre cutting up fruit and washing berries for the pancakes heâs making while you also remotely monitor the tea. A minty brew, warm, topped with honey and lemon, sharp enough to wake lingering drowsiness while still soothing, syrup-soft. You know your stuff, and Buckyâs glad to have a change of pace after a fast week of too much too strong too sweet coffee, even if he chooses to have it that way.
This particular change of pace would give him whiplash if not for the fact that he got a good nightâs sleep, Anastasiaâs nightmares notwithstanding. It has strengthened his resolve to find her a child psychologist, somebody who can help her better than he can, once this ordeal with Tobias Zola is over and they are all safe.
He needs to keep her safe. It was her motherâs â no, her final caretakerâs â last wish and request, and now that they are tied by blood, it has become his. She really looks so much like him. Her hair hasnât developed the same brown yet, itâs still a shade lighter, with hints of golden for the lesser age, the summer sun bleaching that has yet to pass. Itâs curly like his never was, likely an affectation of whatever female contribution is in her genetics.
Her genetics. Bucky shakes his head at the frying pan. He doesnât want to sound like one of the scientists that put her into this situation, into this cruel, cruel world.
A clearing of your throat breaks him out of the thought bubble, and he flips the last pancake out of the pan and onto a plate, much to Anastasiaâs delight. The ensuing giggle is the closest thing heâs heard to laughter from the kid. Thatâs not good. Children need laughter. He makes himself, and Ana, a silent promise to be more uplifting.
âDo you think we could leave the Compound, today?â You ask, out of nowhere, as you place the assorted fruit on the table. Ana, whose hands is halfway to the strawberries, stops as she waits on Buckyâs answer. Clearly, this is something she wants, too. Who is he to deny them?
âSure. Fury might want us to take some security measures, but we should be fine.â
-----
Thatâs how they wind up at an ice cream parlor by 10 am, after the security has been cleared with Fury and Sam, and the only addition to their little team is Lucky, a dog apparently shared by Clint and his protĂ©gĂ© in the city, one Kate Bishop. Theyâve been told that while not a trained security dog, Lucky has sensors that will let Kate know if theyâre in danger, and she can provide and send further backup. The rest of the Avengers are busy with tracking down leads to Zola.
Bucky knows he can protect you and Ana just fine, should need be, and isnât worried about the fact that the only bodyguard theyâve been provided with is canine. Ana has bonded with the dog and walks with one hand in the fur by its shoulder and the other in his own hand, her eyes flitting between the sights of the city and her companions. Her caretakers. Her guardians.
The ice cream place is a little business that another one of Steveâs children is working at on weekends. is a head shorter than Bucky, and terrifies the living wits out of him. Sheâs one hell of a people watcher, she has a sweet tooth and a thing for Jane Austen, and the world is lucky her foremost interest is in dessert making and not something far more nefarious, like say, espionage.
She greets Bucky at the door with a hug and shakes both your and Anaâs hands, and lets you all sit outside so you can be with Lucky. The rusty fall sun makes Luckyâs fur shine like spun gold and light Ana up in hues of ruby and topaz, and you turn your face to the light and sigh.
For a moment, the world is quiet. For a moment, the scent of sugar crystallizes on his face like the sensation of rightness does. And when it ends, itâs not with a crash landing. Itâs a gentle reorientation. You open your eyes, look at him with immeasurable affection. Ana pets Lucky. Vivien says, âLet me know when youâre ready to order, Uncle Bucky,â and puts a menu on the table.
You decide on a mango ice cream shake, Bucky wants an Oreo sundae, and Ana, of course, demands the largest dish on the menu, the one whose picture is emblazoned across a good quarter of the laminated card. A massive ice cream and berry split.
When your order arrives, Anastasia laughs for the second time. Bucky thinks he should say something, make a joke, conversation, but in this moment, nothing else could feel so forced. Heâs a man of few words and many services. Thatâs how he chooses to love, and Ana can see that. You can see that.
It's why you nod affirmingly when he meets your eyes over Anaâs mountain of ice cream. You carry entire sentences in your glances, words of silent confidence, the fuel he is feeding on right now.
-----
Ana is happy. The world, if for a few hours, is right. He knows it cannot last, even now, walking back to the car after a morning and afternoon of joy, arms laden down with bags of new things, treats he never had but can now provide. Despite the resignation that has started to weigh on him, he reminds himself: his daughter has a home. She will be safe, and he will take care of her, no matter what it takes.
-----
The car ride back is louder than he anticipated. You give the music a go, playing something by Raveena, a sweet voice he likes but that Ana talks over, making quite the chaotic symphony that he likes even more. Lucky contributes the occasional bright bark that makes Ana laugh, pausing her incessant chatter, if momentarily.
Mostly, she talks about what she saw, the things she has now started to process, asks questions about the stores she did not previously have the luxury to, presumably because her previous guardian didnât have the means, and besides, they were on the run.
Heâs grateful to her. Irene. Before he was confused but now it is obvious: Ana is his daughter, and he wants her as much as any other parent does their child, even if the way she was thrown into her life was unconventional, to say the least.
Looking at her in the rearview mirror as she twists in her seat to reach Lucky in the back, he knows he will move heaven and earth to remove the threats in her path. It makes him dangerous. It makes him a father.
âYou okay?â You ask, following his gaze, and Bucky smiles, eyes returning to the road.
âNever better.â
Your hand finds his where it takes a break from the steering wheel to rest on his knee. He twists your joined hands until he can hold yours. Squeezes it, as if to say, thank you. As if to say, weâll all be okay.
-----
Turns out, heâs wrong, and this is why you should never rely on routines. Promises are made to be broken. When they get back, the NYPD is waiting, and not to update them on the case. He sees the waiting handcuffs, and he knows you do, too.
You make the right move, trying to usher Ana out of the room with some excuse or other, but itâs too late. Her instincts have latched onto the fact that something is very, very wrong.
The DA says, âJames Buchanan Barnes, youâre under arrest as a suspect in the murder of Irene Orlov,â and Ana screams, and screams, and screams.
Bucky tries not to close his eyes, knows itâs too late to put his hands over his ears as cuffs close around his wrists. Besides, he needs to show that he understands the charges, and yes, theyâre reading him his Miranda rights, and yes, he understands.
Heâs innocent. And his team will prove it. But itâs no use arguing with these people, so he goes silently, even as he hears Sam, Steve and Nat going at it with the police chief in the dull background of Anaâs roar. Itâs no use. The police wouldnât be here without reason, and theyâll let him go when his team finds them reason to.
Everything is going to be okay, he tells himself. It has to. Because he doesnât know what heâll do if it isnât.
Bucky sees you, tear-sodden and holding onto a distraught Ana, in the reflection of the glass doors before they slide open.

Kiss Me

A/N: For the mistletoe anon.
âI donât get why you two put up the Christmas decorations so early?â Bucky glances at Natasha as he settles down on the sofa next to Steve who passes him a bottle of beer.
âOh thatâs all Y/Nâ Nat pokes you in the side gently, âshe insisted.â
âExcuse me SuperGrinch but I love this time of year okâ you protest catching Natâs finger and bringing it to your lips for a quick kiss.Â
Wanda chuckles from her position sprawled out on the floor. âDonât listen to them, Y/N, I love what youâve doneâ she says and you beam at her compliment.Â
The team was huddled in front of the crackling fire that Tony had started a few hours ago. The lights were dimmed and everyone was enjoying a quiet evening in the Tower. You glanced towards the large floor length windows and noticed how the city lights in the distance lit up the sky then dispersed in a soft haze. Its glow not extending very high into the boundaries of terrestrial observatories but instead seemed to coexist as scattered light with the sky as star studded and inky black. The sight never seems to take your breath away.
You glance back to Natasha who has now moved to the bar to make yet another batch of something delicious and mildly intoxicating for everyone. The dazzling sight of her overwhelms the glow from the heavens. The sound of Peter talking non-stop about MJ seems to die down to a soft hum as you unashamedly stare at your girlfriend.Â
She looks delectable in her loungewear and a commanding air or self confidence. Her outfit matches yours perfectly and youâre not sure if sheâs actually wearing your clothes or her own.Â
You feel a tingling in the pit of your stomach just gazing at her. Her hair cascading in soft curls down her shoulders and you bite your lower lip knowing exactly how soft her skinâŠ
She catches your eye as she mixes up her concoction and holds your gaze. Her velvety green eyes sparkle with softness, discreetly scanning over you as her delicious plump lips curve into a smile you recognise as lust and approval.Â
As Natasha continues to rake over your figure with her eyes, you hear Wanda softly hum to the tune of âhere comes the brideâ. Itâs just soft enough that only you can hear it and you look in her direction she sends you a toothy grin. You just roll your eyes at her before throwing a cushion which hits her square in the face.
You glance back to Natasha who is now leaning with her elbows delicately perched against the counter. Her hips are jutting out behind her and your eyes are magnetically drawn to them. Again she catches your eye and this time youâre greeted with a raised eyebrow. Her mouth twitches a little as she leans further into the counter deliberately using it as leverage to accentuate her figure even more.Â
You canât contain the blush that rises to your cheeks. When the continued back-andf-forth, the spark, the excitement between the two of you become too much you abruptly rise from your spot to join her in the kitchen.Â
She notices you, of course she would, she always does. When you wrap your arms around her from the back she breathes in deeply and lets out a contented sigh sagging against you.Â
âYou look beautiful,â you whisper. You donât miss the slight shiver that rumbles through her body. She smiles and nods at your words. âDeliciousâ she says in an equally hushed tone as she takes your arms to wrap them tighter around herself. You feel goosebumps rise along the places she touches. âHmm, say again?â you question. She spins around in your arms and laces her fingers together behind your neck. âI was going more for delicious tonight but I donât mind beautiful.âÂ
As if an electricity current passes from her body to yours you pull her even closer until your noses touch. Her eyes shine an ethereal glow, luminescent like a Vermeer. âBaby I know youâre deliciousâ you smirk. âOh do you now?â she responds playing with the baby hairs on the nape of your neck. âAlthoughâŠâ you make as if thinking about something, ââŠit has been 2 hours since I last tasted you maybe I should check again to see if youâre still just as delicious?âÂ
âAre you trying to talk your way into getting a kiss from me?â she fake gasps.Â
âI would neverâ you respond. âI meanâŠI wasnât the one sexily lounging around here under the pretext of making drinks to lure a helpless lover away from safety into a secluded area to have your way with, now was I?â
She chuckles into your shoulder. Motioning with her eyes to the mistletoe advantageously dangling from the light above the counter top she scrapes the fingers of one hand against your skin. âIf you need an excuseâŠâ trailing off her words and locking eyes with you again.
âI donât need an excuse do I?â you challenge.
Brushing her nose against yours she moves her hands to your forearms. âYou never need an excuse to kiss me, my love.â
 You tighten your arms around her, bringing her closer and kissing her deeply. Your skin feels hot against hers. Daring to lick her lower lip she lets out the tiniest of moans and it makes you smile into the kiss. Cradling your face in between her hands, meeting the pressure of your lips on hers, her tongue moves in rhythm with yours. You reach your hands up to tangle in her hair and pull slightly. Again she moans and that smile, or rather a wicked smirk takes residence once again on your face.Â
She pulls away a little. âWhat?â she asks breathlessly her pupils blown with lust.Â
âYou were right. You taste absolutely delicious.â

@snarkyship is a true genius. I commission this Stark Family Portrait and I couldnât be happier. I wrote a little fic to accompany this fabulous Picture. hope you all enjoy.
Stark Family Picture Day

  Tony sighed over the counter in the communal kitchen. He had been there since dawn when he asked Jarvis what day it was. Then his trusty AI informed him of an importance of this month. Now he was stuck with what to do now.
 âHey Tony whatâs got you down?â
 âHey Capsicle, Iâm doomed.â
 âOh come on Tony, it canât be that bad you are an Avenger.â Steve smiled as he got out food to make omelets for the Team, and greeted the in coming members. âMorning Nat, morning Bruce.â
 âMorning Steve, whatâs wrong with Tony?â Bruce greeted heading to the stove to put the kettle on for his morning tea.
 âNot sure I found him like this.â Steve stated cracking some eggs into a bowl.
 âHis and Lokiâs anniversary is this month and he has no idea what to get him.â Nat answered pouring a large mug of coffee.
 Tony shot up in his seat and stared slack jawed. âHow could you possibly know that?â
 âItâs my job as a shield Agent and Pepperâs PA to keep tabs on you. So it is well documented when you clumsily asked Loki to be your boyfriend during the Lord of the Rings Marathon where you bought out the AMC Theater for the day.â The Spy shrugged ignoring the fact that all her team mates stared at her in horror. All were now wondering what she had on them in those SHIELD files.
 âSo Tony, you have and anniversary coming up? Have you though about what Loki might like?â Steve coughed drawing the conversation back to the main topic.
 âNo, I donât. What does one give a god especially one that has magic and can make anything appear out of thin air?â Tony waved his arms in frustration.
 âThat is a tough one but Iâm sure anything you get him will be fine. Loki loves you Tony.â Bruce tried to be supportive.
 âI hope you will be putting more thought into the gift you give me next month for our anniversary.â Nat gave the Gamma Doctor a pointed before wandering out of the room to start her routine before heading out to work.
 âHa, Iâm not the only one in hot water now!â Tony crowed at the look of devastation in his science-broâs face.
 âTony, knock it off. Now in my day it was the thought that counted most. You should find what Loki cherishes the most. You find that then you can present to him in a meaningful way. Itâs true heâs a prince and probably has had his other lovers throw jewels and meaningless expensive trinkets at him to win his affections. You know Loki better because you love him and he loves you.â Steve pointed out.
 âYeah, Lokes complains a lot about his life in Asgard and that there were many who wooed him just to get to Thor. At night when itâs just the two of us and RC snuggled between us he sighs soft and says what a perfect night it is. He never elaborates but I think it means that he likes just the quiet nights with us.â The genius eyes went glazed as he recalled the many nights he cuddled with his god. Then the idea hit him. âHey Spangles, can you paint or do you just draw?â
 âHuh,â Steve was caught off guard and almost dropped the omelet he was flipping. âI paint from time to time.â
 âDonât lie babe you are in your studio whenever can get the chance.â Bucky laughed entering the kitchen. âAll the paintings in our apartment Stevie did.â
 âGreat! Can you do a portrait if I get you a picture?â Tony asked digging in to the ham and cheese omelet.
 âYeah, it might take two weeks maybe less depends on if we get called out or if SHIELD needs me.â The captain estimated placing another plate in front of his boyfriend.
 âAs long as itâs done before the end of the month weâre good.  Jarvis start looking through my photos and pull out any possible portraits.â
 âYes, sir.â
 âDelicious breakfast as usual Capsicle. Iâll get you the photo as soon as I find one.â Tony dumped his empty plate in sink and ran off to his lab.
 Two hours laterâŠ
 âNone of these are good enough J.â
 âSir, might I suggest you take a new photo of you and Prince Loki.â
 âYeah and RC too, because sheâs our baby. We canât have a Family Portrait without all the family members. Whereâs are RC now?â
 âShe is currently with Alpine in his play room.â
 âCool, I think I got the perfect outfit in mind.â Tony grinned as he ran to his emergency closet in the lab. Tony had put in the closet when he realized he destroyed a lot of his clothes during his inventing and building phases. Also there was a suit or two for the days he forgot he was supposed to be in a meeting and had to make a rush to the board room.
  In the penthouseâŠ
  It had been a quiet morning with no call outs, no calls to Asgard and no need to go anywhere. Loki decided to enjoy the peace and quite lounging in his soft Asgardian casual clothes on the couch reading his motherâs spell journal.
 âHey there, Bambi! Itâs Picture Day!â
 âAnthony, what are you on about?â The prince looked up from his book to see his lover carrying their cat into the living room.
 âWell Picture Day refers to the day school kids take pictures for the yearbook and photos are bought for family distribution. Anyways I want to have a family picture that was honest. I never had that growing up because Howard was an asshole and Maria, my mother, was frail. She loved me but she couldnât express it because she was always ill. Now we have our own little family and I want a picture to put in the lab.â
 âYou want to take this picture now? Anthony, I look a mess and how did you get the bow on the cat?â
 âAww, you look gorgeous, love, as always. Anyways, I put a bow on our baby because RC loves to look pretty for her daddies. Donât you sweetie.â Tony scratched under the kittyâs chin as they sat on couch next to the god.
 âMew,â RC purred.
 âFine, you win, where would you like to take the picture? Also what are you wearing? I donât believe Iâve seen that outfit before, and what is on your feet?â Loki set his book aside and took in his loverâs appearance.
 âOh you like? I dressed in red and gold to match my shoes. I had these shoes made based on my Iron Man suit. I thought maybe putting them on the market for kids but I liked them too much to share. So I have a life time supply in the lab. If you want I can have a pair made for you.â
 âNo thank you. They clash with my outfit. Now letâs take your picture.â Loki said taking the cat in his arms.
 âOkay, okay. Let me get out my phone.â Tony fished his Stark Phone out of his back pocket and held it out to make them all fit in the frame. âOkay say cheese!â
 âClickâ
 âOkay letâs see how that one turned out.â Tony looked at the photo to see him smiling a black blur and a bland look on Lokiâs face. âNope we got try again. This time smile Loki and RC you need to stay still so we can see you.â
 And it went picture by picture they have yet to take a family portrait.
 âShit I only got half your face.â
 âAnthony your thumb is on the lens.â
 âRC Stay still!â
 âAchoo! Ow! I dropped on my foot!â
 âDo not eat my hair you Retched Creature!â
 âOkay I set it up on a tripod. Now say cheese.â
 âCHEESE BROTHER!â Thor popped up between the two men who stared at shock at the blond god.
 âNext!â Tony rolled his eyes as Loki vanished his brother to where ever. Tony didnât ask where the Loki sent Thunder god. He rather liked staying in the tower and wanted to keep it that way.
 âMeow!â
 âNo RC! Donât chase the bunny!â
 Three Hours LaterâŠ
 âOkay, this is it I can feel it. Now Jarvis is going to take the picture the bunnies are secure in their room. The penthouse is locked down, so no unexpected guest and RC is filled of milk to keep her calm and relaxed. And I promise after we get this picture I will have Jarvis order you favorite meal from the Thai Palace down the street and Iâll rub your feet, while we watch you favorite Harry Potter movies.â
 âOh Anthony you spoil me. I love you.â Loki sighed as a soft smile graced his face and he leaned into his lover as Tony joined their hands together. RC who was seated now on the godâs shoulder leaned in and purred soaking up the love of her people. The genius couldnât be happier in that moment as he had his to precious family members with him and the grin on his face was wide and bright.
 âClick.â
 Two Weeks LaterâŠ
 âSir Prince Loki and Mr. Odinson have returned from Asgard.â
 âGreat, I got everything ready. Tell Loki that I have dinner ready and waiting.â
 âYes, sir.â Tony had the table set with Lokiâs Favorite food from the five star steak house, they go to. He paid extra to have the chef come over and cook for their anniversary.
 âDing.â
 âThank you, Jarvis. Evening Anthony, never in my life had been so glad to leave Asgard. He talked for hours at the council over stagnant topics. Whatâs all this?â
 âWell my hard working God of Mischief, today is our one year Anniversary and I have planned the perfect evening. Dinner, a bath and I installed a movie screen in our bathroom so we can enjoy the movie of your choice during the bath and then I plan on us making love until dawn.â Tony pulled Loki over to the dinner table, watching as the godâs magic removed the armor and replaced it with comfortable Asgardian wear.
 âYou lovely little man, you spoil me so; I donât deserve it or you.â The Raven pulled the billionaire into his arms and planting kisses all over the manâs face.
 âYes you do, because I love you and I got you something, well I got Cap to make it, but it was my idea.â
 âYou didnât have to, dinner is more than enough.â
 âNo, I wanted to. Now close your eyes and Iâll get your present.â As Loki closed his eyes Tony ran out of the room and grabbed the portrait from where he hid it. He placed it on the wall then Jarvis turned on the lights illuminating the painting. âOkay open them.â
 âOh Anthony! Itâs wonderful.â Lokiâs eyes became all misty seeing their little family together and there was so much love radiating from painting. âItâs perfect.â
 âHappy Anniversary Reindeer Games.â
 âHappy Anniversary, my Man of Iron.â Loki whispered pulling Tony in to the sweetest kiss they ever shared. They didnât hear the click sound of Jarvis capturing the moment with the sunset background. Another memory to save for another day.
 The End.

Just a Negotiation

^chose this photo because armsđ„”
This will most likely be my last submission for #shamelesshoesforchris. Iâve enjoyed this challenge SO much! Thank you @stargazingfangirl18â and @navybrat817â for hosting such an awesome challenge! This is the longest fic Iâve written so far. Iâm such a hoe for Steven Grant so heâs the star of this one. I hope you enjoy it!
Prompts:
âCan you just not right now?â
âI donât deserve youâ
Words: 6.8k
Rating: Explicit(I canât seem to help myself)
Warnings: Smut, angst, reader not admitting feelings, Steve being Steve, language, unprotected sex, lil cockwarming
âAh, fuck! Right there, Steve! Donât stop!â
âCouldnât stop if I wanted too, sweetheart.â
He grabs your hips and bounces you on him even faster. Planting his feet on the floor so he can meet your thrusts.
Usually heâs the one on top and youâre just along for the ride. But today he told you he wanted you to ride him. He didnât have to tell you twice.
Heâd already made you come twice with his fingers and mouth. So itâs no surprise that you can already feel yourself on the precipice of pleasure once again.
He leans back from sucking on your neck. âYou gonna come for me,Y/N? I can feel you squeezing my cock.â
You moan in reply. You arenât able to form any words at the moment. Heâs hitting your g spot with every thrust. You tangle your hands in his hair and slam down on him hard one last time as your orgasm hits you like a freight train.
âFuck, Y/N. Yes! Feels so good. Youâre gonna make me come.â
His thrusts become even harder and faster than before. You know heâs close.
You lean forward and bite his earlobe as you clench down on him, âCome on, Captain. Fill me up. I want it.â
At your words he throws his head back and lets out a loud groan, coating your insides with his spend. His thrusts come to a stop as he rests his forehead against your chest, trying to catch his breath. You run your hands through his hair, your own  breathing coming back to normal.
He brings his head up and leans in for a kiss. He pulls away and smiles. âSo, same time next week?â He chuckles as he lifts you off of him and stands you up. âSorry but I have a mission to get ready for. I think most of your clothes are in here, although I think your shirt is in the living room.â
âYou and I both know we wonât last until next week, Rogers.â You start gathering your clothes, dressing as you go. Youâd never admit it to him, but it always hurts your feelings a little bit when he kicks you out so quickly after your trysts.
Once heâs dressed in sweats and a too tight shirt, he comes over for a goodbye kiss. âThatâs true, Y/N. You canât resist all of this.â He gestures down his body with a chuckle.
You laugh at him. âUnless I have other plans.â You head out of his bedroom in search of your shirt. He follows you and leans against the doorway to his bedroom with his arms crossed, an amused expression on his face. âAnd what plans would that be?â
You finally locate your shirt and put it on. You head for your purse by the door. âI donât know, but I could. My life doesnât revolve around you, Rogers.â
You hear him chuckle. âOkay, tell that to my cock, sweetheart. Youâve been over here every night for the past 2 weeks. Not that Iâm complaining.â
You turn around and face him. âI just wanted to create the illusion that I had a life. You know where to find me when you need a release.â
He gives you a smile that makes your knees feel weak. âThat I do, Y/N. Have a good night.â
âGood luck on your mission!â
You wave and open his front door, glancing in the hall to make sure nobody is around. Once you realize the coast is clear, you close the door behind you and head back to your room.
You always hate this part. Your walk of shame. Some part of you always feels a little bit like a cheap whore. Although you agreed to this. So really you have nobody to blame but yourself.
See, you and Steve agreed awhile ago to become friends with benefits. It started with you complaining about going through a dry spell. He offered to help out. You know since heâs such a helpful kind of guy.
At first you declined his offer, stating you didnât want to ruin your friendship. He understood and that was that.
Then a few nights later you had the worst date you had ever been on. You came back to the compound in a horrible mood. Youâd really thought this date wouldâve been a guarantee for sex. Then the guy turned out to be a total douche. You told him you had to âgo to the bathroomâ and you made a beeline for the exit.
You stomped right up to Steveâs room and banged on his door.
He answered and looked confused to see you standing there. âDidnât you have a date tonight? Itâs not even 8:30. Is everything ok?â
You push your way inside and shut his door. âListen, Rogers. Iâm going to be real with you. The guy was a douche so I left early. So I was wonder-â He cuts you off. âHe didnât hurt you did he? Cause Iâll kill him if he did.â
You smile at his willingness to protect you. âNo, Steve, he didnât hurt me. He was just some self entitled, trust fund prick who thought the world revolved around him. I couldnât stand another minute of him telling me how amazing he was. So I left and came straight here. I wanted to know if your offer still stood?â
His brows furrow. âYou mean the offer about ending your dry spell? Yes, that offer still stands.â
You surge forward and crash your lips onto his. He reciprocates quickly and wraps his arms around your waist. After a few minutes of urgent kisses he pulls back. âWait, wait. I just want you to know that Iâm not interested in a relationship. With our line of work, I just donât have time for one.â
You nod in understanding. âThatâs great, Steve. But Iâm trying to get some dick, not a relationship. And besides, thisâll only be a one time thing.â
That was the first lie you told yourself. At first it was only going to be a one time thing. But the sex turned out to be fucking phenomenal. So one time turned into two that turned into three and so on.
The next lie you told yourself was that you werenât going to catch any feelings for him. Which you hadnât for the first couple weeks into your negotiation. Then that all shot to hell. Heâs Steve Rogers for goodness sake. How could you not fall for him?
Which leads you back to now. You know you should cut it off with him. But you canât. You did a stupid thing and fell in love with him. And heâs let you know more than once he doesnât have time for a relationship.
You finally reach your door and sigh in relief you didnât run into anyone else. You and Steve have done a pretty good job at keeping this thing between you guys a secret. You plan to keep it that way.
You open your door and turn on the lights and just about jump out of your skin. Sitting on your couch is none other than your best friend, Nat. âJesus, you scared the shit out of me!â
She stands and heads towards you. âSorry, bug. Couldnât resist scaring you. So, howâs Steve?â
You can feel the blush heating up your face. You turn and head towards your kitchen. âWhat? Nat, itâs 2 in the morning. Why would I know how Steve is? I was just working out some frustrations in the gym.â You grab 2 bottles of water out of the fridge and turn to toss her one.
She catches it and just gives you an amused look. âOh come on, Y/N. Iâm a trained assassin and spy. I know you guys are hooking up.â She twists the cap off her water and takes a sip.
âHow did you find out?â Thereâs no use in denying it. You canât lie to her. She knows you too well.
âWell besides the fact that you guys are always near each other and finding ways to touch each other? I walked to his room a few weeks ago to go over some paperwork with him and heard you guys. I gotta say, Steve has a dirty mouth on him.â
You groan as you head towards your couch. âWell we did a good job keeping it a secret up until now.â
She joins you on the couch. âHow long has this been going on for exactly?â
You think for a minute. âAbout a year, give or take.â
She gapes at you. âYouâve been fucking Rogers for a year and Iâm just now finding out about it? I mean is it just fucking? Are you guys in love? Why didnât you tell me? Whatâs he like in bed? How big is it? I thought I was your best friend?â
You grab her shoulders and shake her a little. âWhoa calm down, Nat! First of all, yes. Itâs just fucking. I didnât tell you because Steve and I agreed to just keep it between us because we didnât want to complicate things any further. And heâs the best Iâve ever had okay? His dick is amazing and has probably ruined me for all other guys. And you are my best friend. Iâm sorry I didnât tell you sooner. Do you forgive me?â You give her the best puppy dog eyes you can muster at 2 am.
âOf course I forgive you, bug. But you didnât answer all of my questions.â She smirks at you. You give her a confused look. She just rolls her eyes. âAre you guys in love?â
You look down at your hands in your lap. âI mean, I am. Heâs not. He doesn't want a relationship right now.â You raise your head and look at your best friend. âBut yes, Iâm so in love with him it hurts. And if this is all I can have with him, then Iâll take it.â
She tilts her head to the side as if contemplating something. âHave you told him how you felt?â
You about spit the water you had in your mouth out before quickly swallowing it. âWhat? No! Of course I havenât. He doesnât love me. Iâd just be setting myself up for failure.â
âHow do you know that? How do you know he doesnât feel the same? Maybe heâs scared to tell you. Come on! This is Steve we are talking about. Tell him! Whatâs the worst that could happen?â
You just stare at Nat in disbelief . âUm, he could hear me! And he wouldâve told me by now. Right?â
Nat just shrugs her shoulders. âNot if he was afraid to tell you for the same reasons youâre afraid to tell him. Come on, Y/N. Yeah it might be hard to do but at least if you tell him youâll know once and for all.â
She does have a point. If by some miracle he does feel the same then this could be the best thing that you ever do. If he doesnât feel the same then at least you can cut ties and move on. You were tired of crying yourself to sleep at night over it. You look back at Nat. âOkay, Iâm gonna do it. Tomorrow Iâm gonna tell him and then Iâll know.â
She smiles and hugs you. âThatâs great, Y/N. But itâs gonna have to wait until he gets back from the mission heâs going on tomorrow.â You furrow your brows. âOh shit, thatâs right. What kind of mission is it?â
âJust a simple undercover one. Itâs just him and Sharon going. They have to pose as a married couple to try to get in good with some illegal drug smugglers. We think theyâre involved with HYDRA. So they are going to check things out. Should be back in a week or so.â
âWonât that be awkward with the two of them? I mean they dated for awhile.â
âIt shouldnât be, I mean they split on good terms. Promised to stay friends. Iâm sure itâll all work out fine. Besides itâll give you plenty of time to work up the courage to tell him your feelings.â She smirks and stands to head towards the door.
You roll your eyes at her and bid her goodnight.
As she shuts the door behind her you canât help but to think sheâs right. It will take you the whole time heâs away for you to work up your courage.
Itâs been 3 weeks since youâve seen Steve. He came back from his mission today. You had psyched yourself up the whole time he was away.
Thatâs what led you to knocking on his door only hours after he got back. You hope you gave him enough time to debrief and shower the mission off.
Here goes nothing. You knock hesitantly.
The door swings open and Steve greets you with a smile. âY/N! I didnât expect to see you so soon but Iâm glad youâre here. I need to talk to you.â He leans down to give you a hug and leads you inside.
âReally? Thatâs great cause I need to talk to you too.â You head to sit on his couch and look at him expectantly.
âYou do? Okay then you go first.â He offers as he sits next to you.
âNo, no. You go first. I insist.â You pat his hand, encouraging him to speak so you could hurry up and spill your guts to him.
âOkay, so something happened on the mission. Between Sharon and I. I think thereâs still something between us. Nothing physical happened because I didnât think that was right considering what you and I have going on. But I think we want to give it another shot.â
Your heart falls into your stomach. You do all you can to keep your smile. âOh! Well thatâs great news, Steve.â
âIt is? I mean youâre not upset? I wanted to talk to you and put an end to this whole friends with benefits thing before I pursued anything with her.â
âWhy would I be upset? Consider it ended. I mean it was just a negotiation between friends right? Thank you though, Steve. That was very considerate of you to talk to me about it first.â
He gives you his 100 watt smile. âOf course, Y/N. I mean I know weâve been having sex but youâre my friend first and always. Unless you think thereâs any reason I shouldnât ask her out?â
He looks at you expectantly.
âNope, I donât see any reason why you shouldnât. Who knows? Maybe this will lead to that happy ending you're always talking about.â
He looks just the slightest bit disappointed but the look is gone almost as fast as it appeared. âOkay, great. Now you said you had to talk to me? Whatâs up?â
Oh shit, you canât tell him now. You quickly pull some excuse out of your ass. âOh, um. I was just wondering if youâd spar with me? Iâm getting a little lazy in my fighting and I think you could help me?â
âOf course. Iâd be happy to. How about we start tomorrow? Say 8am?â
âSure! Thanks, Steve. I gotta get going. Promised Nat Iâd watch a movie with her. But hey, good luck with Sharon.â
You get up as quick as you can without it looking too suspicious. He stands up and walks you to the door. âYeah, thanks. So Iâll see you in the morning?â
You open his front door and turn to look at him. âYou bet!â
You shut the door behind you and high tail it to Natâs room.
Just as you're about to knock, the door opens. Nat looks startled that youâre standing there. âY/N, hey. I thought youâd be with Steve.â
You push her back inside and slam the door shut. âI was with Steve. And guess what, Nat? He ended things between us. Heâs asking Sharon out again. Says he thinks thereâs still something there.â
Nat pulls you into a hug. âEven after you told him how you felt? Iâm going to kick his ass.â She pulls away and heads towards the door.
âWait, Nat. No, I didnât get the chance to tell him. After he told me he wanted to end things I couldnât do it. He wants to be with her. I just want him to be happy. And if that doesnât include me then so be it.â Youâre doing your best to not cry.
She rolls her eyes. âOh come on. Donât cry on me now. I mean itâs not like they made it work the first time. Iâll give it 2 weeks before they break up. Then you can tell him how you feel!â
Now itâs your turn to roll your eyes. âYouâre insane if you think Iâm telling him anything now. And Iâm not betting on his relationship to fail.â
She puts her hands on your shoulders. âTrust me, bug. In a few weeks thisâll all be over and youâll be in his arms instead.â She winks at you.
âAll right, Sharon and I have an announcement to make! We wanted you guys to be the first to know since youâre our family. Weâre getting married!â
You were going to kill Nat. 6 months ago she told you this wouldnât last. Now here you were in the middle of one of Tonyâs extravagant parties, hearing Steveâs engagement announcement.
You could feel your heart shattering into pieces. Because of course you still loved him. Those feelings havenât gone away. You blink back your tears as you hurriedly search the crowd for Nat. You find her and sheâs already giving you an apologetic look.
You had to get out of there before the tears fell. You turn around and head towards the elevators as quick as you can. You need some air. You get in and turn in time to see Steve looking at you with confusion. The doors close before your tears fall. Thank god. You hated crying and especially in front of people. You push the button for the roof. You let yourself have a good cry until the doors open again, signaling your arrival.
You head over to the railing and look out at the grounds. You never shouldâve agreed to that whole friends with benefits thing. If you hadnât, you wouldnât be in this mess.
You wipe your tears away on the back of your hand.
About 10 minutes pass before you hear the elevator doors open. âSo this is where you ran off to.â
You whip your head around to meet Steveâs blue eyes. He walks toward you and leans on the railing next to you. âWhyâd you take off? They brought out champagne to celebrate. I know how much you love champagne.â
You chance a glance at him, hoping itâs dark enough that he canât tell youâve been crying. âYeah, I just needed some air. Sorry about that. Why did you follow me? Shouldnât you be with your new fiancĂ©e?â
He smiles at that. âYeah well you looked upset. I wanted to make sure you were okay. And sheâs busy showing everyone her ring anyways. Probably doesnât even realize Iâm gone.â
You return his smile. âWell, Iâm happy for you. If anyone deserves their happy ending, itâs you.â
He pulls you into a hug. âReally? You mean that?â
You pull away and step back. You can feel the tears coming again. âOf course I do, Steve. Youâve done so much. You deserve all the happiness you can find.â
âThanks, Y/N. That really means a lot.â
You turn and look out at the grounds again. âSo, have you guys set a date yet?â
He chuckles and turns to stare out at the grounds with you. âActually yeah. Weâre getting married in 2 weeks.â
You turn towards him with wide eyes. âHoly shit, Steve! 2 weeks! Are you crazy? Whatâs the rush? Thatâs a whole lot of planning in such a short amount of time.â
He looks at you and rubs the back of his neck. âI know. But Sharon wants to get married at the Plaza. The only date available anytime soon is in 2 weeks. It was either that or we had to wait 3 years for the next available date. I even pulled the Captain America card. Thatâs what got us the spot we have now.â
âWow, well good luck with that.â You pat him on the shoulder.
âActually I was wondering if you could help out? Iâm going to ask everyone to pitch in. I know itâs a tall order but with everyone on board, I know we can make it work.â
âOf course. Whatever you need me to do. But I really have to pee so I think Iâm gonna go.â You start heading back towards the elevator. âJust let me know what needs to be done!â You step inside the doors as soon as they open and push the button to make the doors close before he can follow.
You cry as you descend to your floor. You canât believe Steveâs getting married. You shouldâve just told him how you felt. Maybe he wouldâve chosen you. You scoffed at yourself. âYeah right. Chosen me over Sharon Carter. Get real. Iâll never be in her league.â You think as the doors open.
You hurry to your door, not surprised to see Nat standing there.
âThere you are! Are you okay?â She opens her arms and lets you fall into them. You cry on her shoulder. She rubs her hand up and down your back. âCome on, letâs get you inside. Nobody needs to see you like this.â You pull away from her and open your door with your key.
Once inside you let loose. âWhat the actual fuck, Nat! You gave it 2 weeks! Well guess what? Theyâre getting married in 2 weeks! Yeah! Apparently Sharon just has to get married at the Plaza and that was the only date available.â
âIâm sorry, bug. I really didnât think they would last. Let alone get married. I really thought he loved you too!â
âCan you just not right now? We were both wrong. I admit I was also hoping it wouldnât last long. But itâs done, itâs over. Can we just not talk about it anymore?â You had raised your voice, letting the tears continue to fall.
She just gives you a sympathetic look. âSure, Y/N. Letâs talk about something else. Did you happen to see who Sam was getting all cozied up to?â
You smile and wipe your tears away yet again and engage in the gossip with your best friend. You give her a hug and apologize for yelling.
The next 2 weeks flew by.
You and Nat were currently on your way back to the compound from Sharonâs bachelorette party. She had invited all the girls so you decided it was a great opportunity to get drunk. Even Nat let loose and had too many.
You were in the elevator with her on the way to your floor. You were leaning on each other and laughing at god knows what. The doors open and you both stumble out. You manage to catch yourself on the wall but Nat falls to the ground.
âOh, shhiiit, babe! You ok?â You slur as you attempt to pick her up. Thank god Sam and Steve choose this time to turn the corner.
âNat! Dammit are you ok?â Sam asks as he helps her up. She leans against him and starts laughing. âWillssoon! I need to pee really bad. Take me to my room!â She points in the wrong direction. Sam turns to Steve. âIâll take this one if you take that one?â He nods his head in your general direction. Youâre still laughing at Nat falling down. Steve nods. âI got her.â He turns towards you as Sam navigates Nat to her room.
âHey there, Y/N. You have a little too much to drink?â He asks as he goes to grab your waist. You flinch away at his touch and almost fall down in the process. âDonât you have your âfiancĂ©eâ to take care of?â
Steve rolls his eyes at you. âSheâs staying with a friend tonight. The wedding is tomorrow and weâre not supposed to see each other. Now let me help you get to your room please.â
He goes to grab for your waist again and this time you let him. All you want to do is sleep and you know heâll get you to your bed faster. It takes him no time at all to help you to your door and again help you unlock it since you couldnât seem to get the key in the lock. He leads you inside and sits you on the couch. âYou need to drink some water and take some pain pills. You stay here and Iâm going to go get those for you.â
âThanks, Stevie. Always doing the right thing. Always choosing the right girlfriends. I knew thatâd never be me.â You kick your heels off as best you can and wrap yourself in your blanket on the couch.
Steve comes back with the water and pills. âWhat do you mean it would never be you? What are you talking about?â
You snatch the pills out of his hand and swallow them down with the water he offered you. âI just knew Iâd never be your girlfriend. Nat lied to me. She told me you felt the same about me. But I knew deep down you didnât. Why would you? Iâm just Y/N. Youâre Steve! Handsome, amazing, funny Steve. And it doesnât hurt that youâre the best Iâve ever and will ever have in bed. And you have a really nice penis.â You start giggling as you lay down. Sleep was starting to take over.
Steve crouches down and touches your cheek. âHow do you feel about me, Y/N?â
You smile sadly at him. âWhy I love you, Steve. But that doesnât matter. You have Sharon. Your happy ending.â You close your eyes and feel yourself going under.
Steve sits back and stares at your now sleeping form. You love him. Did you mean it? Heâd always heard from a drunk mind comes a sober heart.
He could feel his heart rate increase. What did this mean? You loved him? Why didnât you ever tell him? Wait. Why was he worried about this? He was getting married tomorrow. He should be worried about the wedding going smoothly.
He shook his head and stood up to head back to his room. You couldnât have meant it. You were drunk. You didnât know what you were saying.
Those were the thoughts swimming around Steveâs mind as he tried to catch some sleep.
You wake up on your couch. âHuh, I donât remember getting to my room last nightâ You think as you grab your phone to check the time. Itâs 11. The wedding starts at 1. Shit. If you were going to make it on time you needed to start getting ready. Did you even want to go?
Just then you hear a knock on your door. You throw your blanket off of you and go to see who it is.
You open your door to reveal Nat with 2 cups of coffee. âHere, thought you might need this. Do you feel as bad as I do?â
You take a sip of the coffee. âActually, no. I feel fine. Although I donât remember getting back to my room last night.â
âOh, yeah. I ran into Sam in the kitchen. Steve helped you to your room. Sam helped me to mine. Apparently I fell down and you were laughing at me.â
You snort into your coffee. âSorry. But that explains why I donât feel bad. Steve always makes me drink water and take pain meds when I drink too much and I always wake up feeling ok.â
She glares at you. âAt least he was nice enough to do that. Sam just dropped me inside my door and left. I woke up on the floor this morning. He thinks itâs hilarious. Thatâs ok, Iâll remember this the next time he gets shit faced. So you want me to pick you up at 12:30 and we can go together?â
âActually I donât think Iâm going. I know itâs going to piss Steve off but I donât think I can watch him get married. Itâll hurt too much.â
âOkay then Iâm staying here with you.â
âNo youâre not. Youâre going. We donât need Steve mad at both of us.â
âBut youâre my best friend. Rogers will get over it. I want to be here for you.â She grabs your hand and gives it a squeeze.
âThatâs really sweet but Iâll really be ok. How about you leave the reception early and sneak a bottle of champagne back and weâll share it?â You smile at her.
âOkay deal. But Iâm only going to stay until they cut the cake. Iâll bring you a piece along with the champagne.â She gives you a wink and heads toward the door. âI know that today is hard for you, bug. Just remember that I love you.â
You smile and blow her a kiss. âI love you too! Now go on and get ready before youâre late.â
As soon as she closes the door behind her you let the tears fall. You knew today would be hard. You just hope heâd eventually forgive you for missing his wedding.
You go take a shower and change into some pajama shorts and a shirt youâd stolen from Steve. Your heart was hurting and all you wanted to do was lay in bed.
You crawl under the covers and hope that sleep will claim you and give you some relief from the pain.
Youâre startled awake by a pounding on your door. You glance at your clock and see that itâs 12:55. Nat. She must've decided to skip the wedding. You throw the covers off of you and hurry to the door.
âNat, I told you to go to the wedding, Iâm fine.â You say as you open the door. But itâs not Natâs green eyes looking at you. Itâs Steveâs blue ones. Heâs standing there in his tux with the tie undone.
âSteve? Uh, pretty sure youâre getting married in like 5 minutes. What are you doing here?â
âCan I come in? I just called off my wedding so Iâm pretty sure I have some angry people looking for me.â
Your eyes widen but you step aside to let him in. âWait. Why did you call off your wedding?â
He turns around and puts his hands on his hips as he looks at you. âDid you mean what you said?â
You furrow your brows and cross your arms over your chest. âMean what, Steve?â
âLast night. You donât remember what you told me?â
You search through your brain for any recollection. âUm, no. Care to enlighten me?â
He takes a step toward you. âYou told me you love me. I need to know if thatâs true.â
Your eyes widen. God damn tequila. You knew you shouldâve stopped after 4 shots.
âWell since itâs apparently out in the open, yes. It is true. Of course I love you.â You can feel your hands shaking. Nervous about what heâll say.
âWhy didnât you ever tell me?â
âI was going to! But then you told me you were going to ask out Sharon so I knew I didnât stand a chance.â
He furrows his brows. âWhat? Why wouldnât you?â
You turn away from him as you speak. âBecause, sheâs perfect. Sheâs beautiful, funny, a total sweetheart. Sheâd give you the shirt off her back if you needed it. Sheâs considerate of others. I couldnât compete with that.â You wrap your arms around yourself. You can once again feel tears welling up.
Steve walks up and turns you around to face him, placing his hands on your shoulders. âYeah, youâre absolutely right, Y/N. She is all of those things and even more. But do you know what sheâs not?â He brings his left hand and cups your cheek. âSheâs not you.â
Your breath catches, your heart rate increases. âWh-what? What are you saying Steve?â
He just smiles at you and pulls you closer. âIâm saying that itâs not her that I love. Itâs you. It just took me awhile and your drunken confession to figure it out. Iâm sorry it took me so long. I think Iâve always loved you.â
Now the tears are falling for a completely different reason. You reach up and thread your fingers through his hair. âGod, you have no idea how long Iâve waited to hear you say that.â
He smiles and leans in and presses his lips to yours for a sweet kiss. You gladly reciprocate and smile into it.
Steve groans and pulls you flush up against him. One hand on your cheek, the other on your lower back.
You barely pull away, your lips still touching. âSteve, make love to me please.â
He pulls back a little more to look you in the eye. âY/N, are you sure? That wasnât my intention when I came here.â
You nod your head. âI know it wasnât. But weâve only ever fucked before. Iâve always wanted to know what it would be like to make love instead. So please?â You give him your best puppy dog eyes.
He lightly chuckles before pulling you back in for another kiss, this one more urgent than the last.
You pull him as close to you as possible and start walking backwards towards your bed.
Once you feel your mattress hit the back of your knees you break the kiss for some much needed air.
You waste no time and start undoing the buttons of Steveâs dress shirt. He takes his jacket off and starts unbuckling his belt to help you along. You lift up on your tiptoes to steal another kiss once you get the shirt unbuttoned. You push it off his shoulders and run your hands down his muscular chest. You quickly unbutton his slacks and pull those along with his briefs down his toned legs until they are pooling at his ankles. He quickly kicks them and his shoes off. You take this opportunity and grab his hard, aching cock and start stroking him up and down.
He groans and pushes you away and grabs the hem of his your shirt and gives you a look. âAre you sure you want to do this, Y/N? Iâm willing to wait.â
You shake your head continuing your slow strokes. âThatâs nice and very noble of you, Steve, but Iâm not.â
He shakes his head with a smile and pulls the shirt over your head and drops it into the growing pile of clothes. He pushes you down on the bed and climbs on top of you, stopping once he gets to your exposed breasts. He looks up at you as he takes a nipple into his mouth, sucking and biting lightly. Thatâs all it takes to get you to start squirming under him. He takes his right hand and moves it between your bodies until itâs settled at your clothed core. He starts rubbing your slit, your wetness soaking through your shorts and onto his hand. âSteve, please, no teasing. Just need to feel you.â
He grunts and sits back on his haunches and gazes down at you. âSo goddamn beautiful. I donât deserve you.â He hooks his fingers into your shorts and pulls them down and off your legs, tossing them somewhere behind him.
âI could say the same about you, handsome.â
He smiles down at you and gives his cock a few languid strokes before moving back over you, leaning in for another heated kiss. He rubs his tip over your soaked slit, making sure to get nice and coated. âYou ready, sweetheart? Ready for me to fill you up?â
You whine and mewl underneath him. âYes, Steve, please.â You buck your hips and rub up against his cock causing the both of you to let out a moan. Steve pushes the head of his cock against your heat and slowly pushes in. You whimper at the stretch and pull him down for a kiss. He grabs your right hand and places it beside your head, intertwining your fingers as he bottoms out inside of you.
You throw your head back and moan his name, feeling so nice and full. He takes his right hand and cups your cheek, making you look at him. âAre you ready for me to move, sweetheart?â You can only nod as you roll your hips against his, needing some friction.
He pulls out slowly until just his tip remains before slowly gliding back in. He keeps up his leisurely pace, making you feel every drag of his cock against your walls. You wrap one leg around his hip, making him go even deeper. You plant your other foot on the bed and meet his thrusts. âThatâs it, sweetheart. Pull me in deeper. You like feeling me stretch you out? Like me filling you up over and over?â
You moan out and grip his hand tighter. âYes, Steve! Please. Harder. Need it harder.â
He happily fills your request and starts thrusting into you with more force, causing your body to move up the bed. You remove the hand that was tangled in his hair and place it on the headboard above you, keeping yourself from hitting it. âFuck, Steve. Yes! Please donât stop!â
He starts kissing up your neck, his thrusts never faltering. âIâm not gonna stop until you fall apart underneath me, Y/N.â
You shiver at his words. You can feel the coil in your belly threatening to snap at any moment. He leans down so his mouth is next to your ear. âI can feel you squeezing me, pretty girl. You gonna come for me? Come on, Y/N. Come all over my cock.â
You shake your head and move so you lock eyes with him. âNo, donât wanna come. Feels too good. I want it to last.â He just smiles and leans in for a kiss before pulling away to look into your eyes again. âCome on, Y/N. Wanna feel you come. Please?â
You moan at his begging. You can feel your legs shaking from holding back. You just want to last a little longer.
He moves his mouth back down to your ear. âIâve got you, sweet girl. Come for me. I love you so much, Y/N.â
That was your undoing. The coil snaps and you come apart. A tear escapes at the intense orgasm and from Steveâs words.
Steve only lasts a few more thrusts before he pushes his face into the crook of your neck and comes with your name on his lips. His body gives out and he falls on top of you, careful not to put all of his weight on you.
He smiles into your neck and places a sweet kiss there. You sigh in pure happiness and run your fingers through his hair. You both stay like that for a few minutes with him still buried deep inside you, enjoying the intimate moment too much to move.
He lifts his head and gazes down at you with a big smile on his face. âThat was amazing. The best sex weâve ever had.â You nod in agreement. âIt really was. Weâre gonna need to do that again.â You giggle as he playfully rolls his eyes at you. âYouâre insatiable.â You shake your head. âNo, Iâm in love.â He smiles and pulls you in for another kiss.
Suddenly a thought pops into your head and you pull away. âWhat if I wouldâve said no?â He gives you a quizzical look. âWhat do you mean?â
âWhat if I didnât love you? What if I had just been drunk and was saying stupid things?â
He just shrugs his shoulders. âI guess I was just really hoping you meant it.â
âYou called off your wedding on hope?â
He shakes his head. âNo, I called off my wedding because I realized that Sharon wasnât what I wanted. I wanted you.â
You feel tears well up in your eyes again. âI love you so much, Steve.â
He leans down for another kiss. âI love you, too. Youâre more than just a negotiation to me, Y/N. I hope you know that.â
You nod your head and cup his cheek. âI know that now.â
He tucks some hair behind your ear and whispers, âYouâre my happy ending, Y/N.â
The tears fall at his admission and you pull him down for another perfect kiss. Glad to finally be wrapped in the arms of your love.
