#Look I just think Bruce deserves to be gently kissed awake by his BF

[puppetmaster13u]

Have a tiny wip of Bruharvey

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...Honestly he couldn’t tear his eyes away, watching as the flush spread across Bruce’s entire body. He ignored the grumbling muffled in the back of his mind, giving all his focus to his boyfriend. And oh how that made a blissful feeling wash over him, that they were together once more, no longer any secrets between them. 

   Harvey couldn’t hold back the no doubt goofy looking grin, kissing Bruce again. “Mornin’ doll.” The nickname rolled from his tongue easily, just like when they were holding each other during those late nights studying or whispering quietly of the changes they wanted to do for the city. 

   He got a small smile, still tinged with a hint of sleepiness. “Mornin’ Harv.” Fingers curled around his, and he basked in the bliss of the simple action, simply relaxing.

36: “I could treat you better.”

WARNING: abusive boyfriend, shitty & unedited writing

‘Are you coming for movie night today?’

You felt your lungs freeze in fear before anxiously typing back a response to Bucky.

‘Uh… Was that today?’

‘Yes. Can you not make it?’

You weren’t sure how you were going to get out of this one- you never missed a movie night before. And since it was a team required activity done only once a month, per Tony’s rules, you had to have a “really fucking good reason” to not make it to one.

But you couldn’t tell your teammates the truth.

The truth about…. Earl.

You took in a deep breath and typed back a response, trying to seem as nonchalant as possible.

‘No I definitely can! I just have a lot of errands to run, so I might be an hour late.’

Bucky’s response came almost immediately.

‘Alright. Look forward to seeing you, doll.’

Your timing had to be perfect. 

You had to arrive home by six, cook Earl dinner and get him out of the house by six fortyfive, arrive at the Avengers tower for movie night at seven and return home no later than at eleven pm. You repeated the plan in your head as you took the taxi back home, breathing a sigh of relief when you saw that it was five fifty.

“Where the hell were you?” snapped Earl, slamming the door upon entering. You kept your mouth shut and shrugged, continuing to cut the vegetables in front of you.

“I had to go out grocery shopping for your dinner.” you replied effortlessly, hoping that he wouldn’t see through your lie.

Thankfully, he only grunted before sitting in front of the couch, his feet up on the table and his hand reaching over to open the beer bottle. He was quiet tonight, which was rare, so you glanced at the clock once more before quickly putting the lasagna in the stove. 

“Dinner’s ready.” you called out, pouring him a glass of water as he walked over.

He ate quickly and forced you to give him a goodbye kiss before taking his coat and exiting the door, telling you that he would be back by eleven. The moment you heard his car drive off, you ran upstairs and changed into something more casual before grabbing a taxi to the tower.

“Hey, you made it!” called out Tony, looking up from his chair.

The rest of the group greeted you as you took off your coat and hung it on the rack. The only open seat was next to Bucky, so you sat down next to him on the leather couch and tried to ignore how close your bodies were from touching.

“I’m so glad you were able to come, doll.” whispered Bucky, leaning over.

“Want some snacks?” offered Sam loudly, holding up a packet of sour gummies and a bowl of popcorn from the floor. You thanked him quietly before taking the bowl and placing it on your lap.

“Can I have some?” asked Bucky, gesturing to your popcorn. You nodded and held up your bowl, causing your fingers to brush against his when he reached over. You prayed that it was too dark in the room for him to see the nervous expression on your face and returned your attention to the movie, determined to get Earl off of your mind for a while.

About an hour into the next movie (which Natasha chose with no debate from the others due to the stern glare she gave them), you could feel yourself getting tired and leaned backwards onto the couch. Your neck was at an awkward angle but you were too exhausted to care, falling asleep within seconds of closing your eyes.

Bucky diverted his attention from the screen when he noticed that you were being more quiet than usual, only to see you sleeping in an obviously uncomfortable position. He hesitated then reached his arm out to pull you closer towards him, allowing your head to rest on his shoulder. 

Smiling at the incoherent murmur you gave him, he also took off his jacket and draped it over you so you wouldn’t get cold. Steve gave his best friend a knowing look and Tony only smirked at the sight, causing Bucky to blush and pretend like he was invested in the movie once more.

Bucky didn’t move until the credits rolled and the lights came back up, revealing a content Sam, confused Bruce, amused Thor, sleepy Steve, annoyed Natasha and somehow already drunk Tony.

“Are you gonna wake her up?” asked Sam teasingly, motioning to you.

“Just ask her out already, old man.” sighed Natasha, getting up from her seat.

“Yeah, it’s getting painful to watch you practically drool over her.” slurred Tony.

Bucky rolled his eyes, choosing to ignore his friends’ comments before shaking you awake. You opened your eyes slowly before letting out a loud yawn, clearly still tired.

“W-what time is it?” you asked sleepily, burying your face back into Bucky’s shoulder. 

“About midnight.”

Your eyes flew open and you stood up immediately in panic, marching over to where your coat was hanging and digging out your cellphone. Your dreaded fears were hitting you in waves as you turned on your phone to see eleven missed calls and thirty messages, all from Earl.

Shaking, you opened your phone and began to read them.

‘I’m home and I don’t see you anywhere.’

‘Did you go out?’

‘Where the fuck are you?’

‘You are starting to piss me off, (Y/n).’

‘Why aren’t you answering my fucking calls?’

Each text you read from him was more violent and frightening than the previous one, and it took everything in you to burst into tears on the spot. Tucking your phone back into your pocket, you slipped on your coat and began rushing towards the elevator, only to be stopped by Bucky.

“Hey (Y/n), why are you in- Are you okay?” he asked worriedly, seeing the tears gathering in your eyes.

You sniffled and blinked the tears away, frantically nodding.

“Y-yeah, I just um, have to get home before-” you said as you continued making your way down the hall.

Bucky followed closed behind you and stepped in front of you once more, blocking your way.

“Before what?”

You closed your mouth, realizing that you had said too much. Feeling the dryness of your throat, you took in a shaky breath and tried to slip past him. But Bucky just gently grabbed you by the wrist and pulled you backwards.

“Before what, doll?”

“Before Earl gets mad.” you whispered, finally telling Bucky the truth. You diverted your gaze to the floor in shame, feeling the hot tears rising back up to your eyes.

“And what happens when Earl gets mad?” growled Bucky, realizing that his suspicions about your boyfriend being a complete asshole who didn’t deserve you were true. 

“He…. He takes it out on me. He throws things and yells at me and he gets… violent.”

Bucky felt anger immediately coursing through his veins, his hands suddenly itching to hurt this asshole and teach him a lesson. Breathing deeply, he pushed away his anger and pulled you into a hug when you started to sob uncontrollably. His heart broke at the sight of his girl crying and he pressed a kiss onto your forehead, murmuring sweet nothings into your ear. 

“Don’t go back to him. Stay here.” said Bucky, pulling away from you.

You let out a week laugh at his suggestion.

“I live in his house, Buck. My things are there. I have no one else to turn to if I leave him.” 

Bucky shook his head in disagreement.

“You have me.”

You looked up at Bucky in surprise, not expecting him to say such a thing.

“I could treat you better, doll. But more than that, I love you and I will protect you from anyone and everything. Stay here with me, doll. You can move into my room, away from Earl.”

You felt a single tear slip out of your eye as you spoke.

“You love me?”

Bucky gave you a small smile, lifting your chin up and brushing the stray tear from your cheek.

“I do.”

You tentatively pressed your lips onto his, tilting your head back and tasting the saltiness of your tears from crying. But you couldn’t care less, because you could only focus on Bucky- his warm touch, his comforting aroma, the sweetness of his lips. When you pulled away, Bucky laced his fingers with yours and looked into your eyes.

“Does that mean you’ll stay?”

You nodded with a smile.

“Yes, I will.”

BONUS SCENE (cause Earl is a dick and deserves to get his ass handed to him):

Earl woke up with a loud groan upon hearing the heavy knocks at his door, jolting him awake from his usual schedule of drinking beer in front of the television until mid-noon. Annoyed, he turned off the football game and walked over to the door, wondering who it could be.

Realizing it was probably you, a smug smile spread across his face as he swung open the door.

“Finally you came home, bitch-”

The rest of the sentence died in his mouth when he saw the Avengers standing in front of the door, fully in gear and with murderous looks on their faces. 

“You’re Earl, right?” asked Tony, causing Earl to slowly nod in fear.

“Great.” replied Bucky, cracking his knuckles.

“We have to talk.”

a/n: woAh two things: 1) the asshole bf’s name is Earl because of Waitress the musical, ugh I love that show and 2) I hope this wasn’t too “off” the request? Idk, I think it still worked out and adhered to the request but maybe the anon wanted it to be more of a secret that Bucky loved the reader??? idk idk idk
