bucky has a particularly rough therapy session one day (which isn’t so unusual, considering ‘rough’ is probably one of the kinder descriptors he’d use) where his doc spends a good thirty minutes admonishing him for being so alone and disconnected

and then that afternoon, when he walks down the corridor towards his apartment door, lyssa is leaning by the stairwell window smoking a cigarette, scowling at one of bucky’s neighbours as they rant at her about the dangers of second hand smoking

#txt #am i rewatching fatws out of the blue? yeah so what agshdjfk #ch: lyssa #lyssa x bucky #like he just stands there for a second #just stares and swallows and contemplates running away #because she’s standing there rolling her eyes as this grumpy old woman yells at her about polluting the air #insisting that lyssa leaves before she kills them all with lung cancer #and lyssa just scoffs out a puff of smoke and makes a biting remark back that has the old woman reddening in anger #and in the bickering and smoke haze lyssa turns to see Bucky frozen in the hall watching her #’are all your neighbours this caustic?’ she asks with a raised eyebrow as the old woman gives up and storms back down the hall #and bucky is sure this is a trap but he swallows the fear for not the first time and replies ‘only for you’#idk it’s the fact that ever since Steve ‘left’/died they haven’t seen each other in months #the both of them feeling so adrift and alone (bucky moreso)#after spending time together in wakanda I think lyssa became one of the few people bucky trusts tho #and they never got the chance to reconcile everything after she left in search of the reality stone #the gaping wound of things left unsaid hanging between them #(bucky observing her in the afternoon sunlight and she’s got her human glamour up but he secretly misses her natural features)#(and that thought alone makes him want to slap himself ahhsiddd)#anyway marvel oc post jumpscare over … back to tlk #fatws
