Frayed Edges

Fandom: Marvel (Mob Boss AU)

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x F!Reader

Summary: You and Bucky used to be so in love and so… ignorant of the roles you had to play, which lead to you breaking up. But that didn’t seem to keep you away from each other since you now act as Bucky’s nurse whenever he gets hurt. Based off my mini fic here.

Stitched Together | Pull the Thread | In Stitches | Bucky Barnes Masterlist

He was pissed off. His entire body hurt and he was really pissed off.

Sam dropped him off at your place. Bucky didn't want to deal with anyone else right now. He told Sam he'd call him when he'd need to get picked up.

He limps up to your door, grimacing at every move he makes. The stab wound in his stomach hurt like a bitch and he needed your help ASAP.

He knocks on your door, ringing the doorbell with urgency. The door swings open and your eyes widen, "Holy shit, Bucky!" You pull him inside and he groans in pain.

Bucky takes a quick glance at your table, seeing two sets of plates set out, "You expecting someone?"

You open your mouth to reply and there's a knock at your door, "Shit," you murmur, "Go to my room. Don't make a sound. Hurry!"

He obeys without a word. As soon as your bedroom door closes, you rush to your front door and pull it open, "Hey, dad! Sorry, was in the bathroom."

"It's alright, Bug," your dad kisses your head and enters your home, the bag of takeout in his hand. You take the bag from him and head to the dining table.

"Nice! Sushi!" you feign excitement, silently praying that, for whatever reason, your dad doesn't go to your room to find your ex boyfriend, now mob boss, bleeding on your floor.

"You still like the dragon roll, right?"

"Yup!"

"Good," your dad joins you at the table.

"Um, I have to finish some online training class really quickly and then I'll join you in a bit."

"Yeah, yeah. No problem. Go finish up. I'll be here," your dad waves you away and you rush to your bedroom, locking it behind you.

You head to the conjoining bathroom, as see Bucky cleaning his wound. “Why the fuck did you think coming here was a good idea?!” You whisper angrily at the bleeding mob boss in your home.

“I didn’t know your dad was coming over!” Bucky loudly whispers back in response.

“Exactly! You didn’t know which is why the smart thing to do would’ve been to call or text me to let me know you planned on coming!”

The mob boss scoffs, “Well sorry, I was a little too busy trying to not to die from a stab wound!” He gestures to his punctured skin.

You pinch the bridge of your nose and sigh, “Out of nights you get hurt, it had to be the night my dad and I have dinner together.”

Bucky rolls his eyes, “My bad. I’ll make sure to schedule my stabbings at a more convenient time.”

“Idiot,” you mumble as you grab your first aid kit from under the sink, and gesture for him to sit on your toilet.

You work in a quick and efficient silence. Bucky doesn’t make an effort of conversation because he knows you prefer silence when you work.

Despite your annoyance with him, you're still gentle. You apologize for the stinging of neosporin.

He watches you with an observant gaze, a softness in his eyes. A sense of longing fills him in the pit of his stomach...or maybe that's the feeling of the needle you're sewing him up with.

Bucky still can't believe this is where life has lead you both. You help save lives, he, on occasion, ends lives. You're light, while Bucky lives and works in the dark.

He knows coming back into your life was dangerous, but he couldn't help it. He just missed you so much and was desperate to have you back in any capacity. Even if he can't have you the way that he wants.

You finish up, taking off the bloody gloves you wore and throwing them into the trash, “Stay here. Take some meds. I’ll check up on you, but please be quiet. If dad finds you, he’ll kill both of us.” You state with concern and seriousness.

He nods and gives you a shy smile, “I’ll be fine, sweetheart. Go enjoy dinner with your pop.”

You stand with a sigh, “Just text me if you need anything. I’ll pretend it’s America or something.”

“Got it. Thanks,” Bucky says as he slowly stands from your toilet after you stitched him up.

He watches as you quickly clean up and exit your room. He listens to the distant sound of you and your dad talking.

Bucky’s shoulder slumps as he lets out a shaky sigh. He wishes it never came to this, sneaking around and pretending like he still didn’t love you.

Because he does. He always will, even if you two are now worlds apart from each other, on opposing sides, never meant to be.

Sometimes I legit feel like Dark Souls is what saved me lol

[starcastic-artificer]

most people don’t know this but in summer I secretly switch to my alter ego: hater of bugs

[alienducky]

Ok, so I was quickly looking something up so I could tie up a loose plot thread on my OC's backstory (she's an Eisner, I'm pretending Jeralt had siblings who lived normal lives, and I wanted to work out how many times his great/removed niece she would be), and I just

No shade intended to the wiki writer, but 300 plus years is now referred to as several, huh?

(I'm super grateful to the wiki btw. I was not looking forward to trying to find the one throw away line where he off handedly mentions a war between Faerghus and someone he fought in and then trying to work out years from that and the other off hand/scattered info you find lying around the monastery)

[livvyofthelake]

when everyone on letterboxd loves a movie i hated i feel like jesus on the cross. you’re telling me you liked this movie. what are you an incel? christ alive

[britcision]

Hey by the way I just wanna throw this out there because I’ve been thinking about it

Just… some analysis but also commentary on said feeling about people telling you you’ve always annoyed them below the cut

Shuro’s in one hell of an overwrought mental state right now. The woman he loves has not only died, he arrived too late to revive her and learns that the people who did revive her MAJORLY fucked up

They’re probably going to have to mercy kill her, and he doesn’t know if she can ever be revived, because Laios beat him down here

(Don’t worry about how anything might actually have gone if Shuro got there first it’s irrelevant, the point is he’s overstimulated and in a shitty place)

Why is this relevant?

Because he probably doesn’t actually mean what he’s saying

He’s lashing out at the first and closest target, and trying to make all of his problems Laios’ fault in case that makes them go away, and frankly probably didn’t actually expect Laios to pay attention to the “we were never friends” when he is explicitly saying “I’m going to kill you and bring Marcille to justice”

When neurotypicals say things like “I never actually liked you you’ve always annoyed me”, it is very rarely The Secret Truth And Everything Else Was Fake

It’s an exaggeration, and yeah, it is meant to be hurtful, but if it’s said in a heated moment like this? It’s probably not worth going back and trying to evaluate every interaction you ever had, looking for clues

Because it’s probably not true. Your friends that you spend a lot of time with probably have a choice in spending that time with you specifically, or someone else (or alone)

If they keep choosing to spend time with you, there’s something about you that’s worth it, even if you have some annoying qualities

And yeah, we can all be annoying - including your neurotypical friends

Those right there are the hurty panels, because it’s a pretty big trigger for a lot of people; that your friends never really liked you

But the important panels come later on

There’s the actual frustration underneath (and listen I don’t actually think Shuro’s neurotypical I think he’s been forcibly taught heavy masking by his dad)

“You’re the only one who gets to act totally sincere all the time, and everyone else has to take on the burden of dealing with you.”

High masking friend to low masking friend behaviour. And again, once the fight is over and they’ve calmed down, Shuro can name what he’s actually feeling.

It’s not that Laios has always only annoyed him and he faked the whole friendship. It’s that he’s frustrated, spiralling, and jealous of how uncomplicated Laios makes all these complex issues seem by being blunt

Because for Laios (for a lot of us), it is simple. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Why wouldn’t you just tell someone if you were annoyed by them?

Well, if you’re used to having the burden of managing other peoples’ feelings for them, for one. What if your friend gets angry when you try and tell them they’ve annoyed you? What if they blow it into a bigger fight?

And the really important part of all of this, and I swear it’s part of why we got this whole fight and heart punch in the first place:

Shuro 1000% guaranteed does not hate Laios for always being annoying. He’s still in a pretty shitty place, but he’s had his meltdown, blown off some steam, and when it comes to the actual truth?

They’re still ride or die

If Laios survives the dungeon, with or without Falin, Shuro will ride to the rescue and do what he can to keep them safe

(And possibly still narc on Marcille’s ass, he made no promises there)

If someone you love and trust says they’ve always hated you in a heated fight, or that you’ve always been annoying, you don’t have to believe them

Because once everyone has calmed down, if you can ask again “hey, did you really mean that? I’d like to not annoy you, can we fix it?”

Yeah, they’re probably not going to have the massive list of all your personal failings that the trigger puts in your head (if they do, well, you’re probably better not being friends because that is petty bitch behaviour that we do not stan)

They might have a couple things they don’t like

You might have a couple things they do too

Then you can decide together if you wanna keep hanging out anyway and try and do better

Deadass though, having a completely frank discussion, when neither of you are upset, will get you much closer to the truth than a screaming fight

Anger is a liar and will push you to say whatever you think will hurt the worst, no matter how you really feel

The truth is never that black and white, or that easy

Tl;dr: never trust what someone says when you’re fighting more than what they say when you’re calm

You’re not going to get a real answer until the adrenaline fades, and a very honest “I still like you and would like to be friends” is a pretty solid first step once you’ve both calmed down

Do not let the squirrel brain hold onto and covet words spoken in anger to hurt you. Kick that spiral in the ass and hey, if you talk about it calmly later and it turns out it was true? At least you know now and won’t waste more time on it

But that’s gotta be better than just taking it as read, holding onto it, resenting the person, and losing them as a friend anyway

Oh god, this chapter is hurting me.... the adhd/autism feeling of not realizing that you're upsetting and annoying the people around you until they treat you like you're a bad guy for doing it.... aaaaaaa

[snekdood]

yknow what the worst part was about the mosquitoes infesting my apartment? the first one i saw, so innocently, thinking it just got in somehow, was a male and i was complimenting it on its cute fuzzy antennae. and then they infested. and then i developed contempt for them whenever they're even near my house.

[wow-an-unfunny-joke]

Aaaaaaah why am I having genuine like physical reactions to the asexual pride flag?????? This is so stupid!!!!!

[mooshkat]

this message is fucking haunting me

[daz4i]

did you know that when someone blocks you on spotify and you have a playlist saved from them/a blend with them, every time you go into your library on the app there's a blink and you miss it blank playlist appearing then disappearing. ofc you wouldn't know that who the fuck blocks someone on spotify

[shmingleping]

Ok but why is it that I can't go even one fucking day in this house without seeing at least one spider all up in my stuff??

It's not just gross, it's horrifying. I'm incredibly arachnophobic, just thinking about it makes me itchy and uncomfortable. BLEH.

WHY WONT THEY FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE ?!?!?

[tootiecakes234]

Katsuki “asking” you to move in with him

You were almost back home when you got a call from your boyfriend. He didn’t even greet you when you answered.

“Where are you?”, he grunted into his phone.

“Well hello to you too handsome.”

“Yea, yea… where are you? I’m at your place to pick you up and ya ain’t here.”

“Heh… maybe if I knew you were coming over I would’ve been home. Why didn’t you text me and let me know. I don’t have any clothes packed or anything.”you informed him.

He does this all the time. Just comes over to your house and tells you that you’re coming back to his place with him. So very demanding.

“You have a dresser full of clothes in my room, your toothbrush and all your toiletries… what do ya need to pack?”

“Ya got me there. I’m almost there. I got stuff to drop off then we can leave.”

When you get through the door Katsuki is digging through your fridge.

“Why do you never have groceries in your house?” He questions you.

“Because I’m never here sir. They always go bad because I have a needy boyfriend that wants me at his house 25/8.”, the sarcasm drips out of your voice as you head to drop off the things you had bought.

“ Tch…. Needy. Please. You’re the one always complaining that we don’t spend enough time together.” He states.

“This is true.” You shrug your shoulders. “Anyways I’m ready. Let’s hit it.

“It’d be easier to spend time together if you just moved in with me” he mentions all causally as you guys head out to his car. You pause a little and look at him a little baffled.

You and Katsuki had been dating for about 8 months but you didn’t know he felt that seriously. Maybe he was just joking, so you shake it off and continue on like he didn’t say it.

The next thing you know you’re at his house getting ready for bed.

Kats comes to the bathroom and leans against the counter while you’re in the middle of doing your skincare.

“Do you wanna say something?” You ask because he’s just sitting there staring at you.

“Do you not wanna live with me cuz you could’ve just said that when I mentioned it earlier instead of fucking ignoring me.” He asked it harshly but you could hear the vulnerability in his voice. Like he didn’t want to bring it up but it was bugging him bad enough that he had to say something.

“I- uh…”

Apparently you were taking too long.

“Just forget it.” His eyes fell from yours and he started moving away towards his room. “Are we watching the next episode of that stupid show of yours? If not-“

“I didn’t think you were serious Kat.” And you reach your hand out to catch his arm before he can leave.

“I thought you were joking or something. Also it wasn’t a question so I didn’t know you were waiting on an answer babe.” There’s a small grin pulling at your lips when he looks at you again.

“Why the hell would I joke about that? And it was obviously a question…. So answer it dammit.”, his brows were furrowed and he was scowling a little.

Poor nervous boy.

You reach both of your arms up and wrap them around his neck. Then you lean in and press a kiss to his pouting lips.

“Katsuki Bakugo *kiss* I would absolutely *kiss* love *kiss* to move in with you *kiss*”

His arms have wrapped around you waist pulling you tighter to him.

“About damn time. I’ll have people come over to pack your shit tomorrow.” And this time he leans in to give his a deep kiss. His tongue reaching out to invade your mouth.

When he pulls back you’re all twinkle eyed and dopey in love. It takes a second for reality to catch up to you.

“Tomorrow?? Kats I have a lease and I don’t want movers breaking and throwing my things around. I’m gonna need at least a week or two. And I’m gonna have to pay-“

“I’ll pay for the lease break and you have til this weekend. If ya don’t want movers I’ll get our shitty friends to come over and help. Ain’t waiting no two weeks.”

“This weekend? It’s Wednesday. That only gives me 2 days!” You reason.

“Yea and I don’t wanna give you that so count your blessings princess. And I’m done arguing about this.” He sweeps you up bridal style and carries you to bed. Then He dumps you down onto it.

“Now how about we start christening your new place,” he says while hovering over you with a sexy smirk playing at his lips.

Hmmmm….. and just like that you forgot why it was you weren’t moving in tomorrow. He could be so very convincing when he wanted to be.
