Treat You Better
Warnings: non/dubcon sex, questionable relationship lines (kinda cuckold-ish).
This is dark!Bucky Barnes and explicit. 18+ only.
Summary: Bucky wants what Peter has.
Note: Okay, so I mean, this fic doesn’t involve technical cheating but if you’re sensitive to it, I wouldn’t recommend reading. Also we got a very calculating Bucky and very clueless Peter. I hope y’all enjoy!
Let me know what you think!
You hated waiting. Worse, you hated waiting for Peter. Without fail he was always late. When you planned something, you always expected to do it at least a half hour later. Tonight, you had planned to go out for drinks after a long week apart. Classes and your respective obligations had kept you away from each other. Admittedly, his were more pressing.
Still, the semester started to drag by the more you were alone and you had fewer reprieves from the endless studying and inherent chaos of your dormitory. You had flagged the day in your phone and it had gotten you through the midterm stress.
But he was late. Not just a few minutes, but a whole hour. It didn’t matter, right? Drinks could wait. The bars would be open well past midnight. It was only...9:17! Mark that; an hour and fifteen minutes late.
You sighed and unlocked your phone as you leaned back on metal and leather chair. You re-read the text for dozenth time. ‘See ya at 8.’ He had sent you that. You had confirmed with a ‘can’t wait’ and heart emoji. He had sent you five hearts in return. Yet here you were, waiting on him.
You set your phone down a little harder than you intended. The spark of anger drew the eye of the only other person in the room. It was easy to forget Bucky, even when he was right beside you. He was quiet, unassuming.
When you entered he had muttered a greeting and you had returned it. You asked him how he was; he shrugged and returned a courteous but unconcerned ‘you?’ You echoed his sentiment and began your vigil.
“Sorry…” You gave a meek smile. “I…”
“It’s fine,” He assured you. His facade didn’t crack as he went back to swiping back and forth on the tablet. He had been poring over a briefing since you arrived. It didn’t seem very brief. He yawned and shifted on the leather couch.
You leaned on your elbow and stared down at the small font of your textbook. Medieval and Renaissance Art: Themes and Narratives. You rubbed your eyes and tried not to yawn yourself. You had taken the book out about half an hour into your wait. Studying was preferable to staring at your lifeless phone.
You huffed again and tapped your fingers on the table. Where was he? There was only so much you could read about the Sistine Chapel before you found yourself staring out the window and plotting your fateful descent.
“Just call him,” Bucky’s voice surprised you. His arm was stretched across the couch as he looked over his shoulder. “Kid probably forgot...almost forgot his damn suit the last time we worked together.”
“Sounds like him,” You grumbled.
“Do it,” He said, “Really. I can’t take you moping over...whatever it is your reading.”
You lifted a brow and his lips curved slightly. He was amused with himself. You picked up your phone and stood. You waved it at him with a tilt of your head and turned away. You hit Peter’s picture and waited for it to dial.
It took two tries. He picked up as you expected to be forwarded again to his voicemail and you stuttered on your greeting.
“Hey,” He answered nervously, “What’s up?”
“Um, I’m waiting...for our drinks,” You leaned on the table and tried to keep your voice down. “It’s almost 9:30.”
“Shit,” Peter cursed on the other end. You glanced over your shoulder at Bucky who was once again focused on his confidential files. “I’m so sorry, I thought I texted you.”
“Texted me?” You wondered.
“Yeah, uh, something came up,” The inflection made it sound more a question than a statement. “You know…business.”
You nodded. You didn’t miss the crack in his voice or the poorly muffled whisper from Ned. When those two were together, it was rarely business.
“I came all the way down here, Peter,” You hissed, “Now I gotta take the subway back. At night. Thanks for the heads up.”
“I swear, I thought I hit send.” He explained thinly. You frowned.
“Sure,” You didn’t feel like arguing. Maybe you were just tired. Frustrated. It didn’t matter. “Fine, I’ll see you...Monday?”
“Tomorrow!” He said sharply, as if surprised. “Promise, babe.”
“Tomorrow,” You replied unconvinced. “Sure….love ya.”
“You too, babe.” He returned, “I...gotta go.”
The line died before you could give your own farewell. You shook your head and tucked your phone in your pocket. You turned and rounded the table to close your textbook.
“You were right, he forgot,” You muttered as you shoved the book in your tote. “Good thing I didn’t sit here for an hour and a half waiting for nothing.” You said dryly. “Now that would be stupid.”
“Ah, fuck,” Bucky leaned forward and set down his tablet. You glanced over at him as you pulled on your canvas jacket. “Now, I don’t think I could forget something as important as you.”
“Please, don’t try to make it better,” You moaned, “Really. I’m just going to go home and write that stupid paper on Titian. What an exciting Friday night.”
“You want a ride?” He offered casually as he stood and stretched. He turned with his arms over his head, his lower stomach peeked out from beneath his tee. You tried not to notice the lines of his pelvis above his jeans.
“I appreciate it but I can manage myself.” You slung your bag over your shoulder. “I got a pass.”
“Come on, let me drive you,” He insisted though his voice was as detached as ever. “I got nothing better to do.”
“I don’t know, you seemed pretty entranced,” You kidded.
“It’ll be a nice break,” He said, “And hey, a step up from the subway. Instead of a train full of strange men, you’ll only have to deal with one.”
You scoffed and shook your head. “Alright, fine. You’ve twisted my arm.”
-
Bucky’s car was nice. You guessed it was a perk of working for Stark Industries. And saving the world. It was much preferable to the subway. You sank into the seat with your bag on your lap. You almost felt like a child as he turned the engine.
“So, where am I going?” He unlocked the gps on his console and brought up the address bar, “Type it in, will ya?” He steered with one hand as he pulled out. “Not the greatest without this thing...as much I don’t trust robots.”
You squinted at him but shrugged off the comment. His metal hand would’ve made you think he had a natural kinship with more mechanical. And his demeanour. The street lights flashed through the windows and lit up the lines of his face as he drove out onto the street. You keyed in your address and turned to watch the city pass through your window.
“So...never asked but you study science or whatever, too?” He prompted. You looked to him slowly. You were almost stunned by the question. Not the content, merely the speaker. You almost preferred his disinterest. You guessed he was merely making small talk.
“No,” You laughed, “I suck at science. Art. Yeah, I know, I’ll make a great barista.”
“Art, eh?” He nodded. “I like art. God, that sounds like I’m stupid.” He chuckled. “You know, during the war, there was lots of stolen art. Some hidden away to prevent that. Some never found.” He cleared his throat as he turned the wheel.
“We were on our way to Germany. We’d clear towns along the way. Some of them’d be blown out so bad you couldn’t step inside for fear of it all falling on your head.” His eyes searched the road as if he was seeing another city entirely. “Others, totally untouched. Towns just empty. The people fled to avoid the same carnage...or they were dragged out by their invaders.”
You nodded. You didn’t know what to say. He hadn’t ever spoken so much in your presence. Even with Peter around.
“Anyway, we found this one apartment. It must’ve been locked up for well over a year. Place was covered in dust but...paintings everywhere. On the couches, in the kitchen sink, just dozens of them. We had them taken back to headquarters...I knew this one CO though, had him send a Monet to my ma. She loved flowers, you know?”
“Monet?” You were stunned. You’d only ever seen the famous paintings in your textbooks and on the walls of museums. “Wow. I…”
“Don’t know if it ever got to her though,” He said. “I never did.”
You bit the inside of your lip. What could you say that wouldn’t seem entirely obtuse?
“Ah, don’t worry so much.” He shrugged. “Sorry, I get a bit heavy. That’s the past though…” He stopped at a light and looked over at you. “So, you’re an artist?”
“I guess,” You said. “I like to paint and my portfolio got me into the program so...for now, I am. Until I’m off into the world of corporate desk jobs and retail gigs.”
“Ah, I see why Peter likes you. You’re a hell of an optimist,” He joked as he hit the gas and looked back to the road.
Your phone vibrated and you reached into your pocket. “No use running from the…” Your screen lit up and you swiped up to view the snap. Your voice died as you watched the video in awe and anger. “I knew it!”
You hit lock and the screen went black. Your nostrils flared and you clamped your mouth shut in a scowl. You squeezed your phone and shook your head. Bucky’s eyes flicked to the rear view than you and back through the windscreen. He laughed again.
“What?” You couldn’t help the growl.
“You,” He smirked, “You’re...cute when you’re angry. Like a little chipmunk.” You frowned deeper. “I mean...you’re fiery. It’s...I always wondered how a girl like you got mixed up with the Spider-man but I’m starting to think you might be more formidable than him.” You narrowed your eyes and he peeked over at you again. “Look, it’s a compliment. I’m not very good at them but take it for what it’s worth.”
“Gee, thanks,” You crossed your arms over your tote, “I’m flattered.”
He pulled into your dormitory parking lot and brought the car to a stop as the gps announced your arrival. “Look, try not to stress about it. He’s young, stupid. You got your whole life to be mad at him.” He said. “Or to explore your options. Who knows?”
“My type of optimism,” You chided. You grabbed the handle and inched the door open. “Thanks. Really. You didn’t have to.”
“No problem. It gave me an excuse to get off the couch,” He leaned his arm against your seat, “Hit me up if he does it again. Can’t have a girl like you on the subway so late.”
You couldn’t help the smile and you opened the door all the way as you stepped out. “Thanks. Have a good night, Bucky.”
“You too, doll.” His vibranium fingers tightened on the wheel. “Take care of yourself. Don’t let the boy get you down.”
You closed the door and stepped back. He pulled out and around the lot. You watched him leave, his headlights disappeared into the city haze and you retreated to the gate of your dorm. What an odd night. Not exactly the end you were expecting.
-
Bucky lifted the bar, a small breath escaped him. The muscles in his right arm strained and a shock surged at the base of his vibranium arm. While he could lift the weight with his left arm alone, he worked to keep his right as strong as he could. He may have only one arm but he didn’t want to fight like it.
His time in the gym was his alone time. A sort of meditation. He could forget about everything and just be. His body was intuitive. He moved from machine to machine with ease. His body fell easily into the patterns; running, push-ups, lifting.
He set down the bar and sat up as he rubbed his right hand. The metal of his left was warm. He stretched his vibranium fingers and watched the plates slide back into place. He moved his head from side to side to work out the kink along his shoulders.
The door opened and closed. He was rarely caught off-guard but his head wasn’t as clear as usual. It hadn’t been lately. Two nights ago he had drove her home and ever since she hadn’t left his mind. When she got out of his car, he could still smell her. She smelled of strawberries. Good enough to eat.
He stood as he turned to the intruder. Peter smiled at him and Bucky had to keep from scowling. When he thought of her, he couldn’t help but think of the boy. He was a kid truly, not to see what he had right in front of him. It filled Bucky with resent. She was so sweet, so devoted to the flaky college kid, and Peter was entirely oblivious.
“Sorry, Mr. Bucky, I was just comin’ to train,” For god’s sake, the kid still called him mister.
He shook his head and shrugged as he dropped and began another set of push-ups. “Thought there was a gym at the school.” He grunted.
“Yeah…” Peter let his voice trail off as he set his gym bag on the bench. “It’s too crowded there.”
“Mmm,” Bucky lost count after ten.
He couldn’t concentrate on the numbers as his mind strayed once more. As he lifted himself up and down, he couldn’t help but think of her. Picture her below him. He felt a stir in his shorts and held back a groan. Fuck. The things he’d do to her.
She was so delicate. He could only imagine the ways he could break her with his iron touch. She’d wilt like a flow. The juices would flow from the sweet berry and fill his mouth. He sniffed and brought himself to a halt.
He rolled onto his back and stretched out each leg. His cool down exercises would help him calm down. He was getting far too worked up over Peter’s girl. Yes, Peter’s girl. He shouldn’t have to remind himself of that.
He stood and stretched out his arms. “So, how’d your little date go with the girl?”
Peter looked at him curiously as he began to warm up. “How’d you know about that?” His voice was higher than usual.
“She was here all night waiting for you,” He replied, “Friday, that is.”
“Oh,” Peter blinked and frowned. “Well, I kinda forgot we were supposed to meet.”
“And yesterday?” Bucky prodded. He should back off. It wasn’t his business.
“I, uh...we saw a movie,” Peter squinted at him. “Why are you so concerned?”
“No reason. Drove the girl back to her dorm. She seemed down,” He tried to seem nonchalant but could barely ignored the thrill it sent up his spin. “Just...I dunno, she’s a special one. You should treat her like she is.”
“You drove her home?” Peter stopped his own stretches as the thoughts wrinkled along his forehead. “Why?”
“Didn’t want her to take the subway that late,” Bucky said coolly. “Not safe, ya know?”
“Ya,” Peter nodded and bent an arm behind his head. “I guess you’re right.”
Bucky finished up and grabbed his hoodie from the bench. He drained the last of his water and watched the kid as he began a set of sit-ups. He made it halfway to the door before he turned back. He neared the kid and stood over him. He looked down as Peter fell flat.
“What?” Peter asked.
“You really upset the girl,” Bucky said, “I doubt whatever you were doing with that friend of yours was worth it.”
“What do you care?” Peter leaned on his hands as he sat up. “She’s my girlfriend.”
“Then start acting like it,” Bucky snapped.
“Hey,” Peter hopped up to his feet. He still had to look up at the super soldier. “I don’t appreciate you getting involved, Mister.”
“Mister?” Bucky scoffed. “Ah, kid, you need to grow up. Women get tired of boys. Quickly.”
“I’m not a boy,” Peter snarled. “You need to back off.”
“Tell your girl the same,” Bucky didn’t know why he said it. It just seemed right. A bit of revenge on her behalf. A little jealousy always put things into perspective. “She’s very talkative.” Bucky let his voice linger in the air. “...Very...friendly.”
“Leave her alone!” Bucky was surprised by the kid’s strength. He very nearly stepped back as Peter shoved him.
“Oh don’t you worry. It was all innocent,” Bucky smirked. “She’s loyal, almost to a fault. But you’re pushing her to her limit. One of these days--”
“One of these days what?” Peter spat. “Why don’t you mind your own business, old man?”
“Key word being man,” Bucky countered. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
Bucky patted his shoulder and backed away. He draped his hoodie over his shoulder as he pulled open the door and glanced at the kid as he stepped into the hall. Their eyes met in unspoken challenge.
The door closed between them and Bucky chuckled. His chest fluttered wildly as he pictured her face. Imagined how her body would feel against his. He’d just have to wait until the kid slipped up again.
-
“How many times do I have to repeat myself until you hear me?” You pulled away from Peter.
You had been entirely content until he spoiled it all. Nestled up together on the couch watching a movie on Netflix. The compound lounge was empty and peaceful. Or at least, it had been.
“I forgot,” Peter’s hand brushed your lower back as you stood and turned on him. “I’m sorry.”
“You forgot. Again. Big surprise. Anything to do with me, you always forget,” You evaded him as he rose and reached out to you. “Goddamn it, Peter. I told you about this two months ago. I’ve reminded you constantly and you just don’t even care.”
“I can tell Happy to reschedule the whole thing.” He pleaded as he followed you around the sofa.
“That’s not the point, Peter,” You growled and turned on him. He nearly tripped as you bore down on him, your finger in his face. “I’m tired of feeling like this. Ignored. A burden.”
“You’re not--”
“I am. Fuck, Pete, I don’t wanna be your biggest priority but I at least wanna be on the list,” You spat. “I mean, we both have our lives, our responsibilities. We knew that when we got into this but...you never treated my time like it was worth anything.”
He tried to grab your hand and you shoved him away. His eyes rounded in hurt.
“Peter!” You exclaimed, exasperated, “Or should I call you the amazing Spider-man, hmm? Our greatest hero. You can’t do any wrong.”
“You can’t hold that against me,” Peter shook his head.
“I don’t, Peter,” You lowered your voice. “I don’t expect you to drop everything for me, I just expect you to give me something. Anything.” You sighed and crossed your arms. “We’re on different roads, Peter. We can’t turn back now.”
“No, you...Please,” His face drained of colour. “You can’t mean it.”
“I can’t live like this. I can’t try anymore, not when you don’t.” You pressed your lips together and sniffed back your tears. “I might not be a hero but I can’t handle it all. School, you, work. I...You should enjoy it. College. We only get these years once and obviously I’m just an obstacle.”
“Don’t say that,” He neared and you hung your head. “I...can change.”
“People don’t change, Peter,” You let him hug you, his chin on your head. “Not for others. One day you’ll be ready for a relationship, I will too. But now…” You slowly drew away and hid your face. You grabbed your purse from the table. “I don’t think either of us are ready.”
“Please don’t leave,” Peter’s voice cracked as you pulled on your jacket. “Please…”
“Go save the world, Peter, it’s what your meant to do,” You opened the door and looked back at him. “But it’s not for me. This life...you’re much braver than me.”
You closed the door behind you. The hall was cold, it sent a shiver up your spine. Or was that the pit in your stomach. The twist of your insides as reality struck you across the face. It was over. Two years, done. Even if you had seen it coming, it still hurt. Inevitability was just as painful as chance.
The tears began to fall when you reached the elevator. You wiped your cheeks as you waited for the doors to ding. You were startled as a shadow appeared at the edge of your sight. You turned and brushed away the last of your tears with your sleeve. But it wasn’t Peter.
“Hey, you okay?” Bucky neared and you shied away. You sniffed again.
“I’m fine, I…” Your voice was nasally from crying.
“What’s going on?” He asked kindly. He stared at you and his blue eyes sparkled. “What did he do?”
“I don’t wanna talk about it,” You looked past him. “It’s...stupid college kids, you know?”
“Youth is...dramatic,” Bucky said lightly. “Doesn’t mean you don’t have a right to feel the way you do.”
You looked at him. He wore a leather jacket over his tee and his usual combat boots. He was on his way out too.
“What are you doing up?” You wondered. “It’s a bit late, isn’t it?”
“You telling me it’s late,” He scoffed as the elevator doors chimed and slid open. He waved you in ahead of him. “What about you, young lady? Out after dark?”
You laughed. “You got me,” You resigned. “I’m headed home. To sulk alone.”
He nodded and the elevator began its descent. You took out your phone and fiddled with it nervously. The silence that rose was tense. You were both thinking of what to say but neither could muster a word. You tucked your phone away and sighed as the elevator stopped.
“Hey,” He followed you out, “Wait, come on, it’s almost midnight. You need a ride?”
“I’ll be fine, really.” You assured him as he kept stride with you. “I’d hate to treat you like a chauffeur.”
“I don’t mind. Really.” He stepped ahead of you and blocked the door. “I wouldn’t feel right letting you take the subway this late. Alone.”
You squinted at him. Why did he care so much? While the gesture was nice, you weren’t so sure about his intent. Wait, this was Bucky. He was an Avenger. A hero just like Peter. Did you really prefer the underground creeps to him?
“I…” You bit your lip and peered through the glass doors on the other side of him. “...dunno.”
“Or maybe…” His lips twitched before he grasped his thought, “You wanna join me for a drink? I was just headed to this bar down the street. One drink in exchange for a ride. Fair trade, right?”
“A drink?” You raised a brow.
“Totally friendly, I promise. But you seem like you could use one,” He smiled, “I always heard it was bad to go to sleep angry.”
You stared at him as you thought. You dragged your tongue along your bottom lip as you weighed your options. You were on edge and you knew it would only get worse once you were home to stew in your self-pity.
“Alright, I suppose a drink is the least I can do,” You accepted. He turned and opened the door and waited for you to pass through. “But wait…” You stopped before the second door, “Should you be driving if you’re drinking?”
“Yeah, uh, my tolerance is...the serum kinda cancels out the alcohol.” He moved past you and grabbed the second door.
“So you drink for the taste?” You stepped out onto the street and he followed.
“It’s actually pretty sweet without the burn,” He shrugged. You walked side by side down the pavement. “And I like the bar. Small, quiet. As much as I hate crowds, it’s comforting, you know?”
“Ah,” You let him lead you to the corner and he stopped you at a small door under a plain wooden sign. “Oh, this place it cute.” You looked up at the simple moniker.
“Yeah, Peter said it was a hipster joint but I don’t really know what that means.” Bucky opened the door, once more gesturing you through. You frowned at the mention of your boyfriend. Ahem, ex-boyfriend. He noticed and winced. “Sorry, I wasn’t thinking.”
“It’s fine. It was my decision…” You shook off the sudden wave of gloom. “Look, let’s get that drink and forget about it. That’s all I wanna do.”
You entered and he followed closely behind. The bartender recognized him as you approached and Bucky greeted the woman as ‘Laura’. You smiled at her as she poured another customer’s drink. She turned to you as you dug out your wallet.
“I’ll have a gin and soda,” You said above the low din, “A lime too, if you have it. And uh, whatever he drinks.”
“Actually, I’ll try that,” He intoned, “Sounds interesting.”
You waited for your drinks and handed over your cash. You left the change as a tip and Bucky led you to a table in the corner. He sat and you did the same, dribbling a little gin down your fingers. You sipped through the thin straw and shook the moisture from your hand.
“So, how’s school?” He asked before another deathly silence could rise.
“Oh, it’s school,” You rolled your eyes, “Mostly papers and seminars. Nothing interesting. I mean, come on. You don’t wanna hear about the lameness that is the life of an art major.”
“Yeah? You’d be surprised how much paperwork is behind fighting the bad guys,” He replied, “Plus the mishap with Sam’s wings...that’s not going over well.”
“Mishap?” You prodded. “What exactly happened with the wings?”
“Well, airports don’t take well to unidentified air crafts in their zones,” Bucky chuckled, “We kind ran into some heat over Heathrow…”
-
One drink turned into two, which turned into a tequila shot and a third. Bucky was surprisingly good company. A nice distraction from the grief brewing at the back of your mind. You had thought of asking for that ride but the thought of being alone made you sick. Or was that the alcohol?
You giggled as you finished off your third gin and hid your mouth behind your hand as a belch threatened to rise. Bucky was entirely sober as he watched you lean back heavily in your chair. As a university student, you envied his tolerance.
“Another?” He offered as he looked to the bar.
“No, no,” You raised your hand, “No. I can’t handle anymore.”
“Lightweight,” He teased and you scowled. “There it is.”
“What?” You wiped the irritation from your face.
“That little furrow,” He pointed between his brows, “The chipmunk face.”
“Stop!” You whined and reached for your phone. 2:37 am. Holy shit! “Oh my god, it’s so late. Or early, I guess.”
“So it is,” He glanced over at your screen, “Last call already.”
“I should...go,” You stood with a wobble. You steadied yourself and untangled your purse from the back of the chair.
“Yeah, we should probably head out,” He rose and stretched his arms and grabbed his leather jacket.
“Urgh, I can’t wait to lay down,” You pulled on your canvas jacket as you followed him to the door. “What a long night?”
You yawned as you stumbled out onto the sidewalk. He was quick to catch you. His arm around your waist as he turned you in the right direction. “Careful,” He warned as he led you down the pavement. “Can’t have you messing up that pretty face of yours.”
Your cheeks burned and your lashes fluttered. You reached up to rub your neck as the heat spread. “Ha, you’re too sweet.”
“And you’re...drunk,” He chuckled as you leaned into him without thinking. He smelled of sandalwood and sweat. A hint of alcohol clung to him, too. “Come on, let’s get you back while you can still walk.”
“I’m not that bad,” You protested and elbowed him.
“Sure,” He said dryly and you sneered at his doubt.
He turned you into Stark Tower, through the two glass doors, and towards the elevator. It wasn’t until you were in the rising box that you realized you were going in the wrong direction.
“Wait…” You slurred as his arm slipped, “Why aren’t we...your car?”
He squeezed your ass and your squeaked in surprise. He turned to pin you against the elevator wall. His metal fingers pushed a stray hair back and you gasped. He leaned in as your heart hammered in your chest.
“Bucky,” You grabbed his forearm as it snaked around your hip, his hand kneaded your ass hungrily.
“You’re so fucking sexy, you know that?” He pressed his lips to yours sloppily and crushed you against the wall. You froze as his metal hand drifted down and cupped your breast. He pulled away as the floors ticked closer to the top. “Peter’s a stupid boy...how could he ever let you go?”
“He...how do you know that?” You breathed.
“Not hard to guess,” He smirked, his arm once more around your waist as the elevator doors opened and he as good as dragged you out. “Don’t worry, baby, we’re gonna show him what he’s missing out on.”
“Bucky,” You said weakly. Your head spun and the warmth of his arm hypnotized you. You felt safe; wanted. “We shouldn’t…”
“It’s okay, baby,” He pulled you around the next corner, “It’s just a little bit of fun. I know you uni girls…”
Another corner and another. He spun you against a door and his mouth was on yours again. He turned the handle as he held your hip with one hand. He devoured you as he urged you backwards into the room and kicked the door closed behind him. You clung to him to keep from stumbling, your lips working against his.
He reached up to slide your jacket down your shoulders. You let him as a small voice told you not to. His touch was hot. Intoxicating. Your jacket fell to the floor with your purse. He bunched the hem of your shirt up with his fingers. Up along your stomach and chest. He pulled away as he tugged it over your head, his eyes intent on your lacy black bra.
“Jesus,” He whispered.
Your mind was hazy, his broad shoulders blurred as he nudged you back. Your legs hit something and you fell onto the bed with a gasp. You felt him pull off your shoes, then your socks. His fingers worked deftly at the fly of your jeans as you lifted your head to watch him. This had to be a dream.
You giggled as he lifted your pelvis and glided your jeans down your legs. He stood and your vision cleared for a second as his eyes met yours. You glanced down at your body, the lacy bra and panties were all that were left to you.
“Stay there, baby,” He purred and you dropped your head. You couldn’t have moved if you tried.
You heard him moving around. You looked over as he emptied his pockets on the dresser and peeled off his leather jacket. He turned back to you and winked. His tongue poked out as he came nearer and pulled off his tee. He bent to unlace his boots and quickly kicked them off. He circled the bed as he undressed, watching you like a scavenger.
Your head lolled back and forth as you tried to keep track of him. The shadows blurred in your eyes and you closed them to still the ripple in your vision. You flinched when he touched you. His metal fingers were cold along your thighs as they crawled along the flesh. His other hand was warmer but rougher as it slid around your waist.
He lifted you and held you against him as he climbed up on the bed. He walked on his knees across the mattress and laid you down beneath him. His kiss was even more fervent than before. His tongue desperate as it slid past your lips. He ground his pelvis into you and you felt his erection through you sheer panties.
He parted and sat back on his heels. His hands explored your body as his eyes followed them. You looked down and gaped at his naked body. His cock was slightly curved but large. Your eyes rolled back as you wriggled beneath his touch.
"You're so precious, baby," He whispered as he reached around and popped open your bra with a flick.
You pouted as he tugged your bra from your arms. You caught it and he pulled it away easily. It dropped over the side of the bed and you shivered at the touch of his fingers along your hips. He guided the lace down your thighs and past your feet.
He tossed the panties away and bent over you. His lips trailed along your neck, shoulders, chest, and stomach. He hummed as the tip of his nose traced the line of your pelvis and you squirmed. His dark hair hung around his head and tickled you.
"Bucky," You breathed. "What are--"
You gulped as he kissed just above your pussy. He pushed your legs apart and bent them over his shoulders. The muscles of his shoulders rippled against your calves as he bent closer.
His slipped his tongue along the curve of your lips and pushed deeper. It was cool and sent a tingle along your thighs. You squeezed his head between your legs without thinking. His fingers danced along your ass and edged around your pussy.
He delved between your folds and you trilled. The sound was startling. Was it really you? His tongue moved from your clit to your entrance and back again. He swirled around your bud and suckled. He didn't let up, each flick of his tongue had you trembling.
You reached down to push away his head as the heat built. Instead your fingers buried in his dark hair and urged him deeper. He tickled your folds with his finger and circled your entrance. He pushed inside and you arched your back beneath him.
He drew his finger in and out before adding another. His mouth continued to play with your clit as he worked his hand. The pressure mounted and you moaned through your teeth.
His tongue and fingers moved faster. You could hear your wetness, feel it as he lapped it up. The knot unwound and you disassembled all at once. You whined as your orgasm radiated through you.
You twisted beneath him as he slowly parted from you. He looked down at you as you pressed your legs together and your hands fluttered over your torso. You closed your eyes and the after waves swept you away.
He chuckled and stroked his cock as he pulled your legs apart and dragged you closer. He rubbed his tip along your folds and it sent a shiver through you. You opened your eyes and watched as he pressed himself past your entrance. His head stretched you as he leaned over you.
He held himself up with his elbow beside your head as he slid into you. You gasped as he filled you to your limit. Your eyes went wide at the storm of lust and pain. He smiled down at your tortured delight.
"Yeah, baby," He pulled back slowly and eased back in. "You like that?"
You bit your lip and he cradled your head in his hand as he moved carefully. You shyly touched his hips; nudged him weakly as he worked against you.
"I can tell you like it." He whispered, "A girl like you needs a real man, eh?" He sped up just a little, "He can't fuck you like I can." He picked up again and you let out a mewl. "That's it, baby."
Your legs bent around him and your nails dug into his skin. Once more you felt the spring winding. His mouth smushed against yours and he nibbled your bottom lip as he parted and kissed along your cheek.
"Say my name, baby," His hips rose and fell in rhythm. "Say it."
"Bucky," You breathed.
"Again," He sped up.
"Bucky," You rasped as the heat licked at your skin.
"Louder," He urged as he rocked into you harder and harder. "Louder."
"Bucky," You raised your voice and he pushed himself up.
He grasped your hips as he sat back, his thighs against yours. His flesh clapped loudly against yours as he crashed into you. "Keep going," He hissed.
"Bucky!" You exclaimed as the tide rose higher. "Oh, Bucky, Bucky, Bucky…"
You yiped as the swell burst and you came with a violent shudder. He kept going until you were weak and breathless. Your fingers knotted in your hair.
He slowed and lingered in you. He wiggled his hips and you twitched.
"Turn over, baby," He rubbed along the back of your thigh. "I wanna see that pretty little ass."
He pulled out of you and you trembled as you struggled to move. You rolled over and raised yourself up on your knees. Your arms shook as you struggled to stay up.
He slapped your ass and you nearly fell forward. He seized your hips again and pulled you back against him. He entered you in a single motion. Your pussy squelched around him and you moaned.
All pretense was gone. He pounded into you and you fell down to your elbows. His pelvis crashed against your ass and he bent over you to fondle your tits. You purred and pushed back into him, longing for more.
His metal hand went to your throat and he sat up. He took you with him, your back against his muscled torso. His grip tightened as he fucked you without pause. His other hand found your pussy and his fingers twirled around your clit.
"Are you gonna cum again, baby?" He growled in your ear. You nodded and his fingers slackened just a little. "Let me hear it." His breath was hot along your temple. "Let me hear you cum."
"Ah, ah, ah," You panted and closed your eyes as another orgasm broke through. "I'm cum--cumming."
You shook and he caressed you through your climax before dragging his wet fingers along your stomach. His metal hand choked you as his other hooked around your shoulder and he forced you down harder onto his cock.
"Fuck, baby, can I cum in you? I'm gonna cum," His lips brushed over your hair.
"N-n-no," You wheezed and clawed at his hand. "N-not inside."
"Inside?" He snarled and sank into you completely. His hips twitched and he gave several long thrusts. He came as you batted helplessly at his metal hand. "God, baby, you feel so good."
He slowed and lowered your bodies together so that he was on top of you. He pushed inside as deep as he could and you cried out as he hit your cervix.
"You like it when I fill you up?" He ran his nose along your ear. "Hmm?"
You buried your face in the mattress and steadied your breath. He kissed the back of your head and pulled out of you carefully. You felt the stream of his cum and yours as it leaked between your thighs. You shook your head and the cloud grew thicker.
You rolled over as the bed shifted and you watched as Bucky's vague figure walked to the dresser. You sat up and squinted at him as he turned back with something in his hand. His phone was pointed at you as he neared.
"Bucky?" You blinked in confusion, "What--"
"Say hi," He smirked as he moved the lens up and down your body. Your mouth fell open as he turned the camera back on him. "Who's an old man now, Petey boy?"

some call it chemistry — (trinity/detox) - lily2
[ prompt ] : sasha notices someone glancing at her best friend during their friend's performance and decides to try and make magic happen even if trinity isn't feeling the gesture too much: atleast at first.
[ author's note ] : I've been writing trinity a ton lately because she's one of my favorite queens and I will always love a florida girl with bias and I mentioned on my tumblr if there's any good pairings and someone mentioned detox and trinity would be just a match in plastic heaven and couldn't stop thinking about it so here this is, song below helps to set the mood and was mentioned, couldn't help myself! I reccomend highly listening to "two to make it right" by seduction for purposes of the fic, it's mentioned throughout the fic.
— *.✧
Sasha isn't stupid.
It was an odd first thought to have when considering what may or might not come of her possible intervention, it was difficult to not be atleast a tiny bit intruiged when she noticed a seemingly familar face in the crowd staring and glancing over at her best friend for the entire chunk of the night.
She knew first hand how the Russian herself sometimes be a bit oblivious, Shea always made fun of her once they fully begun to date of how she would consistently drop hints to the blonde, how every move in the game was to impress Sasha, make her smile, finally let her figure out that indeed Shea Couleé, likely the most wanted girl in all of Chicago, Illinois hell— America, was in love with the sweet, quirky, vocal girl who called Brooklyn home and Russia the motherland.
"She's been staring at Trinity all night." She whispered in a hushed tone to her girlfriend who was dancing around in her heels, as if someone would sniff their conversation out over Peppermint performing and giving her soul on stage, as she did always, Shea turned a bit concerned, "Who? If it's someone you think might pose a threat." Her words quickly gaining momentum beginning to scan the expression in Sasha's face before she quickly snickered, kissing her hand, attempting to divert any possible violence.
"No, no! I mean Detox, she's been giving her the side eye and the little glances all night, Trinity is comply distracted by the alcohol and performance obviously but, something in me says to maybe, try and set them up?"
Shea definitely felt her curiousity get the best of her as she took a sip of her vodka soda, her feet still moving along the floor as she took a glance at Trinity who was dancing wildly with Monét just across from them, she seemed just a bit tipsy but she was a southern girl: she could definitely handle her hard liqour especially if it meant seeing one of her best friend's perform on stage despite her meager dancing ability.
Her eye's peaked over at Detox who leaned against the bar, sipping a gin and tonic and occasionally speaking in uninterested, mumbled conversation to Alaska who already seemed drunk as can be, slugging against her shoulder, on the bar stool attempting to not break it with her stiletto's. A small grin across her lips forming when she indeed, looked back to Trinity who was lipsynching to the performance, staying on her feet, Shea surprised she could even move let alone attempt "dancing" in her skin tight dress, the lights reflecting on the iridescent fabric and material.
"Babe, I think you're on to something here." Her brow cocked in surprise as she pressed their lips together, Sasha very happy to receive a kiss before she pushed the blonde along to play matchmaker since she was the one who was doing some spying and cracked the code.
Casually walking through the crowd, stopping to greet and press some cheek kisses to Aja, Farrah and then bumping into a clearly drunk Katya, toppling onto Sasha in comfort: she attempted to make some idle conversation, Sasha unable to keep herself from just walking right past the constant pressure of conversing. Her Russian counterpart smiled before chugging her straight vodka as she grooved, taking Sasha's hands, "I know we both have really cute girlfriends but you'll always be my favorite!" She yelled over the music as they moved in a awkwardly endearing waltz position, Sasha giggling, not wanting to be rude or too obvious with the fact she was on a bit of a time crunch.
Eastern Europeans don't usually get this intoxicated so quickly.
Trixie seemed to come in at just the perfect moment, apologizing for Katya's state though Sasha truthfully didn't mind, she just had a mission and knew she would kick herself if she didn't get it done tonight.
"Hello!" Trinity yelped, hugging her best friend the minute she started barely walking in the same direction as the duo who were making an attempt to dance across the packed floor of the bar, New York City was crowded and Sasha knew it well enough that it didn't bother her too badly, Monét smiled and welcomed Sasha into their corner of the floor.
"Oh don't worry, I'm not dancing!" She yelled, Trinity frowning in disappointment, "Bitch I ain't drunk, I've had only two, Shea doesn't have to worry about me licking your face or any of the weird shit Alaska does." Monét cackled, remembering how much anger leaked from Trixie's face last week when Alaska decided to take out all her sadness through alcohol which ended up with Katya and Alaska comfortably at a distance performing with eachother until the idiosyncratic girl decided to lick Katya's cheek right on stage.
It was a loud uproar and reaction from an already intoxicated crowd, just laughter, screams and smiles though Monét mentioned that she had never seen such a visual representation of smoke blowing from the fumes quite like Trixie's reaction.
"Speaking of Alaska—" an almost perfect segway of events, "I've been with Shea the whole night of course but, I've noticed you definitely have sometimes attention the whole night." She said near her ear, Trinity stopping to dance as Monét kept singing, though her ears pricked open, "Oh girl if it's Alaska, I wouldn't trust her with anyone drunk."
Trinity had to agree, finishing off her drink with a slow chug, "Jesus, am I so ugly people only find me attractive when I'm drunk!" She cried out more in exaggerated pitch than genuine concern. Sasha shook her head, Trinity always looked stunning and utterly beat for the god's, a perfect understanding of makeup and clothing coordination.
"Alaska's best friend over there though..." She smirked, Trinity tilting her head, definitely pondering who exactly she meant by that though Sasha alertly pointed to Detox under her chin, immediately all sense of respect and normality seemed to drop as her cheeks flushed a bright red, grabbing Sasha's wrist.
"You're kidding right?"
Sasha's silent pose and the grin that begun to stretch across the corner of her lips was enough of an answer. "Shit..." She gasped before handing Monét her empty drinking glass, "I'm gonna go real quick." The Floridian huffed out as her friend groaned aloud, "I knew she'd leave my crusty ass the minute she finds someone who can possibly buy her more alcohol."
"Would you like a dance?" The black girl smiled genuine as she held out a hand, dramatically painted like a victorian gentleman, Sasha couldn't help but cross her arms at the thought of it, she knew how jealous and tense her own lover could get, "Hey! I know Shea and have for decades, I am definitely not trying to get you, I could never do that to Nina." She explained innocently, harmlessly, waving to Shea who kept a good but resentful distance.
Shea already giving her massive side eye, pointing at her and making gestures towards her throat at Monét bitterly, she knew her NYC sister was simply playing around and absolutely trusted Sasha's intuition however she couldn't help but feel a twine of jealously as if her and Sasha hadn't danced for the last two hours with arms only around eachother.
"We can dance but no licking my face."
"Consider it done bitch!"
*.✧
Leaving her friend's for themselves, Trinity pushed her way through best she could, unable to really process this all and convinced this was some kind of set up or joke Shea had for Sasha to simply deliever the punchline. It wasn't that she didn't feel like she was good enough or pretty enough, Trinity had the wallowing self confidence others wish they could chanel even 2% into, that wasn't the concern.
But Detox, it definitely seemed just a bit out of her league.
They weren't that much older than eachother, Trinity was younger by a year it was more that she was completely smitten hearing about her almost a year ago, entranced by the idea that someone loved plastic surgery as much as her finding that an impossible feat and then only meeting her through Alaska about six months ago where it was revealed the "Queen of Southern California" was actually born in Orlando, just as Trinity was.
"It's Trinity!" Screamed Alaska in excitement as Detox turned, taking a sharp breath in to appear as calm and sedated compared to her best friend as possible, "Yes it is! You gotta slow your roll girl." She mumbled comfortingly, rubbing her shoulders as she waved her off, "As long as she's driving me home, we're all good!" A finger in front of Detox's nose, quickly getting deflected with a scoff.
"Can't believe I gave up alcohol for you, fucking bitch."
Turning to Trinity she smiled, beginning to piece together that it was probably the doing of Monet or Sasha judging by their time together and proximity to eachother, she definitely wasn't disappointed, she just had hoped this could've happened without Alaska needing to breathe on her neck, literally and figuratively.
"Sorry about her, I have to be her damn sitter for the night since Roxxy is off in Orlando tonight without me."
"If you buy me some alcohol, I'll definitely forgive you." A wink leaving the corner of her right eye as Detox sprung into action, truly making an attempt to seem convincingly flirty back without making it cheesy or dense. "Pick your poision, I know everyone who works here so if they make it bad, I can complain like the bitch I am." Gaining a laugh from Trinity she couldn't help but smile, tuning out Alaska who also begged for alcohol.
"Suprise me." She breathed out gently, their eyes gazing though the moment always seemed to be ruined by the blonde's tantrums, Trinity wasn't offended, she couldn't count the number of times Sasha had probably carried her out a bar or three after a good night out.
"Manhattan please and a water if possible." She spoke as she handed the bartender a twenty, asking for no change as she invited Trinity to sit with her, the girl smiling and pulling out the chair so she could sit, watching her dress as she hopped up on the bar stool, the two exchanging awkwardly endearing glances. The energy extremely tense but the expressions clearly expressing nothing but need and want.
"So, I have to be a nosy bitch—" she started as she handed Trinity her drink, "Was it your friend who sent you over?" Referring to Sasha, she seemed sweet enough but wasn't sure if this interaction was going to be horrid or something worth taking up further.
"Yes, she mentioned you stared at me all night." A sip from her drink, an approving nod to the alcoholic beverage. Detox was a bit taken back by her honest response, Alaska beginning to doze out on her back, locking their hands so she could be sure she didn't let her be taken off by a stranger.
"Did she?"
"Yup, I didn't believe her hence why I came, I thought it was too good to be true is all." Honesty was truly the best policy when it came to Trinity, why try and beat around the bush when you could just get to the point, make out, buy some alcohol and go home happy or atleast mildly satisfied for the night.
A roll of the eyes from Detox, who ran a hand through her blonde hair as Trinity grabbed her free hand, "I expected more confidence from someone who can't even pinch herself." She had to laugh wildly at that, "Oh fuck off!" She screamed, hitting her shoulder teasingly.
"You're one to talk."
"Bitch atleast I am, I've never seen you so quiet, you're always making some snide or witty comment."
She couldn't argue with that, she never felt so much riddled anxiety trying to speak to someone like Trinity, even when they had first meet it seemed like some twist of fate, too good to be true.
Hilarious, stunning, a bit blunt but always honest and caring of her friends, full of silicone and always had a comeback in the palm of her hands ready and prepared.
"Dance?" Already finished with her Manhattan, Trinity stood and held her open hands out for Detox to take, the blonde nervously glancing back and forth at Alaska who was begining to get drowsy. "Don't worry about her, bring her with us and we can drop her with Sasha, you know her motherly insticts."
"Perfect." She laughed, taking her hand as she grabbed onto Alaska's shoulder who was dancing along to the tune, the music dying out in Detox's ear as Trinity lead her to the left of the floor, handing Alaska to Sasha with no words exchanged expect a nod, now they were alone to dance as the music set in, a new song starting.
"Jesus christ, this is a throw back." Detox laughed as she was still holding onto Trinity's hand, not wanting to let go though she danced along to the beat, the brunette impressed, "See you can dance!" Detox shrugged, sliding across the floor in her heels easily, she could pick up movements but didn't consider herself a dancer, Trinity she knew had two left feet unless she was about to pass out from alcohol poisoning or was grinding on someone.
❝ From the start its plain to see
you're suffering from a serious broken heart,
You know that its a shame
But I'm here to ease your pain. ❞
The music perfectly moved in as she took Trinity's waist, the other girl nervously inching away, "Trust me, trust me." She whispered before moving the hair from her forehead, "Trust the dancer who bought you a very overpriced cocktail." She couldn't argue with that logic.
❝ Do you know that
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it out of sight
I can see it in your eyes
You feel the same way I feel about you. ❞
Feeling the rhythm of the music, singing loudly and feeling Trinity singing along to, she grabbed her hands and led her in a four corner movement, assuring she was doing just fine though Detox's added body rolls only made Trinity tense up twice as hard, unable to match her energy or refined skill, no matter how badly she claimed she couldn't pick up dancing.
❝ Some call it chemistry
I call it you should be with me
Cause I know together we can really turn this mother out. ❞
"You're really good at this!"
Detox had to amusingly snicker, "I'll send my thanks to Roxxy and Mayhem, taught me everything I need to know I guess." Relaxing her muscles Trinity felt herself slowly open up a bit more, everyone already looked a fool or was so adjusted to alcohol that they couldn't care how ridiculous she would look.
❝ In my mind there is no doubt
That one & one equals me & you
Don't you know that it takes two
Two to make it right. ❞
Trinity took it upon herself to turn around and shake her hair before running a hand down her dress and gently grinding on her partner's waist, recluctent at first before Detox wrapped her hands from behind around her neck, clearly approving.
She turned and threw her arms around her neck in return, staring intensely into her own eyes and mouthing every single word of the song as if she was Michelle Visage herself, though it was definitely a classic but the music absolutely gave her a new energy considering the lyrics and every new and horny ambition she felt running through her body. She owed Sasha as much money as she wanted after this.
❝ I don't believe in fairy tales
But I believe some things were meant to be
Why should we be alone
When we could have each others arms to hold. ❞
Their fingertips lingered on eachother's waist though Trinity was definitely the braver one from the duo, spinning her partner around with a quick speed before holding her with confidence, "Hope I won't make your friend's jealous." She said referring to Alaska and Roxxy, blowing Alaska a kiss as she jumped for joy seeing her two friend's dancing together.
The three always stuck around eachother since childhood she mentioned when they first met though she never knew the extent of their friendship.
"Oh trust me, they know me well enough to know who I've been pining for the last six months."
"Really? Who."
She needed to hear it first hand and know tonight wasn't just a waste of her time and Detox's, there was no way she had just grinded on the girl for no damn reason, the blonde bit the inside of her cheek, responding with a firm, "It's hard to say when she's dancing so sweetly in front of me." The god awful scent of hard liqour and cheap perfume dying down when Trinity learned into her face, wishing she would just knock her into a wall and kiss her already, time was a wasting until she had to go back to California, though she always made time for New York City.
"You're a real flirt, I like that."
"And I've been staring at you all night praying you'd kiss me so I guess we're even."
Detox didn't want to say she felt three entire weights drop off her shoulder when Trinity planted her lips on hers but it was difficult to say otherwise. Her red lipstick unintentionally brushing onto Detox's brightly colored pink lipstick though she wouldn't bitch about it, hell how could she. "Thank God for Sasha being nosy." She breathed out before slamming their lips together again, her hands toying with her hair, completely intoxicated forgetting she even had alcohol.
When she was pulled away after a solid minute she couldn't understand why, though they had kissed on that dance floor for about two minutes, having no boundaries now, every wall crushed down and thrown into the abyss. Her head leaned into the crook of Detox's neck since with heels she was still taller as she was without them, humming the song to herself with their hands dropped at eachother's hips.
"You wanna ditch?"
She had expected the question to come sooner or later, she loved her friends but if she could score especially score with someone who also showed a genuine interest in her, she would yank her own ass out of that bar and sprint in her white heels if she had to.
"Come to my hotel with me, if I can kiss you all night I don't want it to be in a gay bar playing Seduction, no offense." Her face changing to a gentle rose pink across her cheeks as a permanent smile was drawn on her face, Trinity could only nod and tighten her grip, interlocking their hands.
"None taken, just promise me you'll turn a blind eye if I steal that lipstick shade you're wearing right now."
"Consider it a done deal."

Careful Confessions
A/N: Please let me project my own insecurities in writing through this little self-indulgent reader-insert drabble.
Tagging some Gladio babes that I know of: @louisvuittontrashbags @hypaalicious @cupnoodle-queen
You look at yourself in the mirror. You study how Gladio’s black button-down shirt draped around the entirety of your small frame as it fell just above your knees. You slightly peel it off over your left shoulder, and with a portion of skin barely exposed, you see a Monet masterpiece: lilac and pink bruises dotted your skin like a watercolor painting. You can’t help but smile.
If this is what it means to make love with Gladio, then by all means—gods be good, you’ll let him make a gallery of love bites out of you.
Your fingers begin to trace the marks in your neck, down to your chest, until you reach the curve of your waist and the layer of flesh that hugged your stomach. It’s as if all the fat in your body decided to convene in that section without your knowledge. Your smile dissipates like vapor.
A cringing feeling punches you in the gut. You wince at the sight of yourself, all painted in flaw and blemish. There are slashes of every shape from past wounds that travelled across your thighs, and stretch marks that striped the surface of your hips. Your body is a collection of your stories inked permanently in scars, and last night, Gladio has read each and every single one of them.
In the mirror, you could only see a disaster of a person. You wonder if Gladio sees you that way, too.
“Hey there, beautiful.”
As if to protest against the impending insecurities about to plague your thoughts, you hear Gladio’s voice. From the reflection in the mirror, you watch him rise from the bed and move closer in his naked glory, snaking his behemoth arms around your waist. Your height difference is like a crushing jab to your existence. “I look so tiny in your clothes. Like I shrunk.” “You look adorable in them,” he whispers in your ear. “Now, what’s really bothering you?” He looks at you in the mirror so intently, curiously, like he’s already reading your mind. “How can you love someone like me? Look at all of this.” You chew your lower lip, hoping it could ease the weight of the words you just spit out as you wait for Gladio to pass his judgment. But he doesn’t judge. In fact, he’s taken aback, his own heart swelling that you don’t see yourself the way he sees you. His mouth tentatively opens, a brief second of calculating his words, and purses into a smile. “All your scars are stars,” he squeezes you in his arms, gently and firmly all at once, his gaze still fixed on you. “And you’re made of galaxies, and I want you to revel on yourself the way I revel on you.” Your heart nearly leaps out of your chest. “Did you just make poetry out of me?” He laughs and the rumbling of his chest sends shivers down your spine, and he nuzzles his face on the crook of your neck. “I sure did. And also, I love you.” Eyes still fixed on the mirror, you ask, “Would you still love me even if I put on some weight?” “Even if you think you’re at your worst, I will love you.” “Even if I grow another arm?” “Even if you grow another leg. Or another ear.” “Really?” “Really really.” Gladio carefully spins you so he can meet you face to face, handling you like you’re made of fragile glass. “Look, I won’t bow out in assuring you everyday that I love you, even if it means I have to write cheesy poems on the fly about your greasy hair or that food that always seem to get stuck between your teeth.” You look up at him, tears threatening to spill from your eyes. “What did I do to deserve you?” He presses a kiss on your forehead. “I could ask you the same thing.” “I love you, Gladio. So, so much I can feel my heart ache.” “And I love you, too,” he smiles, cupping your face with such tenderness in his hands. “I will love the shit out of you. Always.”
His lips crashes into yours before you can even breathe another word.
