A/N: I was on a bit of an unexpected hiatus, but I am here to stay.

“That’s it!” You slammed your lunch tray down on the cafeteria table as you huffed and sat down beside MJ. “I’m done with men. I hate love. I’m over it.”
MJ looked over at you and sighed, rolling her eyes. She didn’t believe you, especially since the boy you’d broken up with was the boy you dated not even a week after swearing off men the last time.
“What are you talking about?” Ned asked before receiving a swift kick from MJ.
“Don’t ask about it.” The girl replied through gritted teeth as she fully turned on the bench to face you. “Y/n, you know I love you, but I can’t help but think you’re being a little rash.”
“Rash?” You scoffed. “You wanna talk about rash? MJ, you broke up with Ethan Brooks in eighth grade because he accidentally stepped on your foot at the winter formal.”
“I know you’re just being harsh because you’re heartbroken, but let’s be real, Y/n, you don’t hate love.”
“Yes, yes I do. I’m never, ever, ever going to fall in love. I’m not even going to think about it. I now will live in a world of tragedy and heartbreak because love does not exist.”
You stabbed your fork into your mac and cheese aggressively. Maybe MJ was right, you thought, you might have been being a little harsh and you were very heartbroken.
You had the unfortunate curse of being a romantic, loving the idea of love and anything having to do with a good rom-com. You couldn’t help but fall in love with everyone you’d ever had a romantic moment with. You just loved the experience that came with being in love.
However, now sitting heartbroken and eating your feelings in mac and cheese, you really really didn’t like the idea of falling in love and would have rather fallen off the face of the earth than like another boy.
MJ sighed heavily, reading your body language and knowing you wanted nothing more than to curl up in bed and watch a sad movie.
“Y/n, I know you’re sad, but look on the bright side, you have more time to hang out with us. We’re going to the movies after school today.”
You looked between your three friends, smiling shyly. “Thanks, guys, but I really just feel like being alone.”
“Oh, come on, Y/n.” Peter sighed, giving you a nudge with his foot. “I know you secretly want to pig out on popcorn and see that new horror movie.”
“I don’t think so, Peter. I really don’t feel good.”
Peter pouted, giving you puppy dog eyes. “Please, Bug, come on. You blew me off last week to go out with Brad and we’re best friends. You owe me one.”
“I thought we were best friends.” Ned spoke up, earning another swift kick from Peter. “Ow! What is with you guys and abusing me?”
You smiled, rolling your eyes at your friends. Especially at Peter, who seemed serious enough to use the only face you couldn’t resist and a nickname that always seemed to keep your attention on him.
“I’ll think about it.” You caved, taking another bite of your food.
“Don’t think. Just say yes.”
“Are you seriously going to be pushy right now, Parker?” You raised a brow at him. “I am heartbroken. Sick with sadness.”
“I’m just saying, the best way to get over someone-”
“Is to get under someone.” Ned stated proudly, cutting Peter off.
“Ew, no!” Peter gave Ned a light shove. “I was going to say that the best way to get over someone is to be around people who care about you.”
“Or burning his personal belongings before he asks for them back.” MJ added, stealing a fork full of your mac and cheese. “We could always burn Brad’s stuff and roast marshmallows over it.”
“I like MJ’s idea way better than going to the movies.” You agreed, pointing to the girl beside you while you locked eyes with Peter.
“We’re not going to burn his stuff!” Peter exclaimed as MJ frowned. “I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to burn someone else’s property and we already made plans to go to the movie.”
“Well, damn.” You frowned. “Now look who’s being harsh.”
MJ began to chuckle beside you as Peter began to frown.
“Harsh would be me forcing you to go to the movie.”
“Oh yeah, and badgering me to go isn’t forcing me right, Peter?” You raised a brow at him as you finished the last of your meal.
“At least I’m asking and not physically forcing you to go.”
“That is true.” You shrugged. “I guess I’ll come, but if I am having a terrible time, you have to take me home.”
“Always.” Peter smiled, nodding as he reached forward and grabbed your hand. “It’ll be fun, Bug. I swear.”
You shrugged, squeezing the boy’s hand as the bell rang loudly. You pulled away quickly, catching a glance at your now ex-boyfriend and the girl attached to his arm as he walked past your table. You cleared your throat, corralling your things together as you rose from your spot on the bench.
“I’ll-I’ll, uh, see you guys later. I’ve got to get to Chem. I can’t be late again or I’ll get a detention.” You stammered, feeling the tears prick at your eyes as you pulled your books in your arms.
“Let me walk with you.” Peter offered, noticing the sudden change in your mood as he rose from his seat and rounded the table to where you stood. “I have to get to Bio next door anyway.”
You nodded silently, surprised when you felt Peter’s hand press lightly against the small of your back as he guided you through the crowd in silence.
“You know, Bug, it’s okay to say things aren’t okay.” He finally said as you made it into the outer corridor of the cafeteria.
You bit your lip at his words, holding back the tears as you glanced over at him so he could finally see your eyes and cheeks red with pent up feelings.
“I’m fine.” You choked out, swallowing the lump that formed in your throat.
Peter pulled you aside, out of the way of the walking students. His eyes, you could see as he rested his hands on your shoulders and forced you to look at him, were full of concern.
“I know you’re not. You want to talk about it?”
You couldn’t help it, the warmth and care in his brown eyes caused your tears to begin to fall as your hand shot up to wipe them quickly.
“You must think I’m pathetic.” You laughed uncomfortably as you spoke, “I’m crying over some stupid boy and you have to watch.”
Peter shook his head, his expression clearly showing the confusion in his mind as he looked at you.
He never found you pathetic nor would he ever. On the contrary, he found you to be the most amazing person he’d had ever known, and not just because you were best friends. Watching you cry, he realized something he’d never wanted to take a good hard look at.
You were the girl he’d always wanted to be with and you’d always kept him on the sidelines. You were everything he’d ever wanted and yet you always kept him as the best friend, the shoulder to cry on, the boy who often kept you afloat.
For a girl so in love with romance and cliches, you’d never realized how much of a walking cliche the two of you were.
Not that Peter was upset. He would never be upset by that, especially when you still allowed for him to be so close by your side.
“Oh, Y/n.” He pulled you into a hug after giving you a moment to clean yourself up. “I would never think you were pathetic. You’re the best person I know.”
You sniffed, bringing your arms around him to embrace him back before pulling away and looking up at him.
“You really think so?”
“I know so.” He gave you a shy smile as he glanced down at you.
Your eyes traveled from gazing into his and looking to the spot on his shirt that you had now stained with tears and mascara.
“Even if I stained your nice white shirt with my make up?”
Peter pulled away, looking down at the shoulder of his shirt as he tugged at it to see the stain better. He sighed, chuckling lightly as he looked at you with a smile as warm as the look in his eyes.
“I have other shirts. I didn’t really like this one, anyway.”
“Peter, that’s your favorite one.”
Peter shrugged, letting go of the fabric between his fingers as he looked at you, wiping away the last remaining tear that clung to your cheekbone. “I’ll just have to find a new favorite then.”
You swallowed a bit, your hand reaching up and resting on his wrist as you smiled shyly, sudden feeling nervous.
“I should probably get to class.” You said softly, your voice barely above a whisper.
Peter’s hand fell from your face quickly as he became aware of the new energy between you two.
“Yeah, yeah.” He cleared his throat harshly. “I should get going too.”
You nodded, allowing for silence to fall between you two as you quickly rushed to class, giving him a small wave before walking into the classroom.
The rest of the day felt uneventful and monotone with spurts of sadness and confusion here and there. You could feel the heartache of your breakup settle in every once in a while, especially in moments in which you let your mind wander while watching your ex-boyfriend now flirt with the girl beside him.
When your mind wasn’t wandering with thoughts of pain and heartbreak, it was full of thoughts of Peter and the moment you shared in the hallway.
It wasn’t that you’d never had a moment like that with Peter before, you’d had plenty of moments in which he comforted you while you were upset and visa versa. You were best friends, of course you’d have your fair share of comforting moments, such as the time when you spent a week at Peter’s house after his uncle passed away.
However, while you sat in class with your pen between your lips as you watched and counted down the minutes to the bell ringing, you couldn’t shake the feeling that that moment in the hallway meant something more to you.
As the bell finally rang, you practically ran out of the classroom and into the hall, only to run into the person you were looking for.
You feel backwards and onto the floor, slightly shocked by your bottom hitting the ground as Peter’s hand shot out towards you as he bent over.
“Shit, Y/n, you okay?” He asked as you grabbed his hand and allowed for him to help you up.
You dusted yourself off before picking up your bag. “Yeah, I’m fine.”
“What were you running for?”
“I was, uh, looking for you. We’re supposed to go to a movie, right?”
Peter nodded, starting to walk towards the front entrance of the school, his hands shoved into his pockets as you walked closely beside him.
“Are you feeling better?” He asked after the silence between you felt too heavy for him to bear.
“I don’t know.” You shrugged. “I don’t know how I could really feel better while having to see my newly ex flirt with another girl not even 24 hours after our breakup.”
“I’m sorry, Bug.”
“It’s not your fault.” You shrugged, kicking a rock that sat on the sidewalk in front of you. “He can do what he wants. He’s a single man now.”
“I wouldn’t call him much of a man.” Peter admitted, taking a look in your direction.
You kicked the rock again as you approached it, watching it bounce and tumble down the sidewalk and into the grass.
“Are MJ and Ned going to meet us at the theater or what’s the plan?” You asked, trying to derail the conversation from the topic you had no interest in rehashing.
Peter pulled a hand from his pocket and rubbed the back of his neck before putting it back in his pocket. He should’ve known you’d ask about the other two people who were supposed to be in attendance to your evening out.
“MJ had to go to detention since she’s behind on her sketchbook work for art class. You know how she is, likes to draw people in detention for whatever reason. And Ned went home sick after lunch. He made the mistake of eating the meatloaf.” He lied, surprised he thought of something believable off the top of his head.
In reality, he paid MJ twenty dollars to refrain from going to the movie and to lie about her whereabouts, something she never had trouble at doing, and he promised Ned that he’d spend the rest of the weekend helping him build another Star Wars lego model even though Peter wanted to grow out of the habit of playing with legos.
You frowned a bit, having hoped you could’ve had some much needed girl time with MJ and wanting the funny commentary and banter of Ned during a movie that would normally terrify you.
“Oh. Well, that sucks, but it’s okay. At least we’re still going together.” You raised your frown into a slight smile.
Silence fell between you once again, leaving the only audible sound to be the wind and your heels hitting the ground in unison as you walked towards the movie theater.
“Don’t worry about paying tonight. It’s my treat.” Peter stated as the theater came into view on the horizon.
“Oh, Peter, you don’t have to.”
“No, I want to. Just let me treat you to a night out. I feel bad that you’ve been having a rough day, so it’s the least I could do.”
You reached out and grabbed his arm, stopping him in his tracks before you engulfed him into a hug with your arms tight around his neck and your perfume filling his nostrils.
“Peter Parker, you are truly my best friend and the love of my life.” You announced proudly, not realizing that the words warmed Peter in a way he’d never experienced before.
“I love you too, Y/n, but I cannot breathe with you choking me out like this.” He said softly, pretending to wheeze as you pulled away, giving him a shove.
“You are so dramatic.” You chuckled, starting to walk down the sidewalk once again.
“I’m dramatic?” Peter scoffed as he jogged to keep up with you. “Aren’t you the theater nerd?”
“Doesn’t mean you’re not also a drama queen.”
“I’ll have you know, I am very good at keeping my cool.”
“Tell that to Flash Thompson and your little rivalry.”
“Flash is an asshole.”
“I’m not saying he isn’t,” you argued, “all I’m saying is that you get a bit dramatic with him. I like to think he’s secretly in love with you.”
“Ew, gross.” Peter shook his head. “Flash is the last person I’d want a dramatic romance with.”
“I think Flash is the last person anyone wants to have a romance with.” You laughed.
Peter was glad that it seemed your spirits were lifting as you finally made it to the theater. He could feel his own spirits lifted by your bettering mood which left him not needing to worry as much.
He didn’t know whether it was the elation in mood he was feeling between the two of you or the instinctive urge to keep you close and protected that had him reaching for your hand as he opened the door to the theater to let you in first, but as you walked through the corridor, he grabbed it without thought or hesitation.
You didn’t know what possessed him to grab your hand either, but you found yourself refraining from questioning it, wanting to feel the warmth and caring touch of someone else. Though your spirits were lifted a bit, you still felt lonely deep down.
“Are you okay?” Peter asked, glancing down at you as he grabbed the tickets from the girl at the ticket counter and began to guide you towards the snack bar.
You nodded, unsure of what to say as Peter continued to watch you closely. You held your breath, suddenly nervous with his eyes on you before you were saved by his eyes travelling to view the menu far above your head.
“I’m thinking we get a large popcorn and two sodas.” He thought out loud as you frowned. “Unless, that’s not what you want?”
You blinked, shaking your head quickly as you spoke. “No, no, sorry. I got lost in thought. That sounds fine. I’m not that hungry, though.”
“How are you not hungry? You ate two bites of mac and cheese at lunch and then pushed it around on your tray.”
You shrugged, pulling your hand from his and crossing your arms over your chest. You were somewhat building up an appetite, but every time you did, you suddenly felt sick by your own intrusive thoughts about your heartache and break up with a boy you knew you shouldn’t have been crying over.
“I guess I’m not really in the mood to eat too much.” You finally said.
“Well, I’m still getting the large and if you ask for any, I won’t give you some. You already said no.” Peter teased.
“Oh, you would never say no to me.”
“You wanna bet?” Peter raised a brow as you reached the front of the short line.
“I’ll bet you a bag of overpriced M&M’s.”
“I thought you weren’t hungry.”
“I am always hungry for M&M’s.”
Peter smiled with a light eye roll. “Alright, but you can’t eat any until we determine who won.”
“Deal.”
You smiled as he turned away from you, ordering your snacks and you began taking each one from him before he carried the popcorn and his drink and you carried your own drink and the bag of M&M’s you were so excited to win. You watched your feet fall to the ground to his in unison as you two stayed silent, trying to navigate the hallway for the theater your movie was in.
“Hey, Peter?” You caught the boy’s attention as he walked through the open door of your theater, a fistful of popcorn in his hand as he looked at you.
“Yeah?” He began walking backwards as he faced you and tossed the popcorn into his mouth.
“Can I have some popcorn?”
“Yeah, sure.” He nodded as he spoke through his mouthful of popcorn and held the bucket out to you.
You began laughing, taking a few pieces of popcorn and popping them into your mouth.
“Why are you laughing?” Peter asked as you were giggling beside him now following him up the stairs of the theater before looking down at his bucket. “Oh. I guess you can have those M&M’s after all.”
“We just made this bet! How’d you forget already?” You chuckled, walking past him and into an aisle, picking the perfect seat in the middle of the theater.
“I-I don’t know! I got so involved in the popcorn I forgot.”
“I guess that’s one way of saying you want to marry a food item.” You teased as he rolled his eyes and took a seat beside you.
“You know, I’m not going to get mad cause you’re going through it, but when you’re over it, I will get you back for this.”
“How? You’re already a victim of premature Alzheimer’s. You won’t remember this by the time I get a new boyfriend.”
You reached over, grabbing a handful of popcorn and beginning to eat the pieces one by one as you watched Peter closely.
“You know, sometimes I hate you.”
“No, you don’t.”
“How would you know?”
“Cause you don’t even have a mean bone in your body. Flash bullies you mercilessly and you don’t even say anything back.”
“Is that a bad thing?”
“No.” You shook your head. “It makes you a good guy. And we need good guys in this world.”
“You think I’m a good guy?” Peter raised his brow as you nodded wildly at him.
“Of course I do.” You leaned over, placing a hand on his. “You’re not just a good guy, but a guy too good for this world, you know? You deserve the world, but the world doesn’t deserve you.”
Peter leaned in close to you. “Sorry, I don’t think I heard that.”
You could feel your breath hitch as he leaned in, his face a few mere inches from yours. It wasn’t that you were scared, but nervous at your excitement at the thought of him kissing you.
Peter could feel your anxious energy as he leaned in close, the urge to kiss you in the way he’d always wanted to growing strong as he moved his head so your lips were lined up to his ear. It wasn’t that he wanted to kiss you, but he didn’t want to take advantage of your loneliness in that moment.
You leaned in close to his ear, your nostrils now full of his shampoo as you spoke softly. “I said that I thought you were such a great guy that you deserve the world, but the world doesn’t deserve you.”
“You mean that?” He answered back, his voice as soft as your own.
He did dare lean back or move his head from the position it was in for fear that he’d kiss you so soon. The words you were saying were ones he always wanted you to say, but never thought would come out. He wanted to be everything you ever wanted, but your words now felt somewhat short yet so close to that sentiment.
“Of course I do.” You replied, your own urge to kiss him rising steadfast in the back of your mind.
You couldn’t tell if it was your loneliness or the sudden dimming of the theater lights that had you realizing that all you wanted was to cross the line of friendship with Peter, a line you never realized was made to be crossed when it came to your friendship.
Every touch, every sweet nothing, every thing about him you loved began to swirl around in your mind as you pulled away from him and gazed into his eyes before planting your lips on his, pushing him back into the armrest of his seat.
Peter was shocked by the gesture as he leaned into the kiss, his hands resting on your cheeks before you pulled away from him breathlessly.
“Y/n, I-”
“Peter.” You cut him off before giggling. “Go ahead.”
“Bug, I don’t want you to think I’m taking advantage of you and your feelings about your breakup even though I really like you and-”
You cut the boy off with another kiss, not wanting to hear what he had to say. You knew he was going to give you some speech about how you might not know what your feeling and so on, but you didn’t care. You knew that you kissed him and you liked it and that it felt more right than any date with Brad.
You pulled away, putting a hand over his mouth before he could speak as you began to instead. “Peter, I know how I feel. I like you too, okay? Now, can we just take advantage of the fact we’re some of the few people in here and just hang out?”
Peter nodded, pulling your hand off of him. “I think I’d like that.”

Bucky Barnes x f!Reader
Summary: You really love animals, Bucky not so much. A random TikTok brings to light exactly what Bucky thinks of you.
Word Count: 1,776
Warnings: Being told no to getting animals, a couple swear words here and there, blink and you miss it suggestiveness, and a very strange TikTok
A/N: Happy Valentines Day everyone! I watched this TikTok months ago and absolutely lost it when I saw it, so definitely give it a watch! Dividers made by the lovely @firefly-graphics
A Mutual Weirdness Masterlist
Days off were a rare occurrence for Bucky. Rarer still were days off that coincided with yours, and it practically required cosmic intervention for both of you to be off on a weekend. This was the first Saturday Bucky had off in almost two months and he planned on spending it doing absolutely nothing.
He made a point to sleep in and stay in bed as long as he possibly could. Once the grumbling of his stomach finally won out, the day would start off with a giant breakfast followed by a long, hot shower. The remainder of the day would involve him sitting on his ass while enjoying a good book or watching TV. He’d stay where he was until he needed to eat and that’s the way he liked it.
Today, he wanted to make some progress on the strange Romanian murder-mystery novel Wanda had recommended. She swore up and down that it was one of the best she’s ever read, but so far Bucky was not impressed. The pacing was too slow, the characters were too dull, and the murder itself was not all that intriguing. He would have stopped already if it hadn’t been for Wanda pestering him about it.
He had been laying on the couch completely immersed for almost an hour trying to solve the case before the lead detective when you came rushing into the room. You climbed into his lap and sat there staring at him, eyes unsettlingly wide. Bucky peered back at you over the top of his book, suspicious as to what could possibly be running through your head. A small smile started to appear on your face, but you remained silent.
“Can I help you?” Bucky asked after a few minutes without any change to your expression, which was growing more and more manic-looking by the second.
Your eyes seemed to snap back in focus as he spoke and the rest of your face became serious. “So I had an idea…” you said cautiously, suddenly far more serious than he had ever seen you look before. “What if we got chickens? Not too many, just like three. I think three is a good number.”
Bucky stared at you in disbelief. “We live in an apartment. Of course you can’t have chickens,” he said flatly. You rolled your eyes at his response.
“Obviously not right now, but in the future when we’re not living in an apartment. You know, after you and I get hitched and find a house we like.”
All of the confusion and concerns Bucky had were thrown out the window as he processed what you said. You want to buy a house with him? You want to marry him? The thought of being with you forever made his heart skip a beat and filled him with an overwhelming urge to kiss you. He realized you were still watching him expectantly, waiting for an answer. “S-Sure, I guess. I never really liked chickens though -”
He wasn’t even able to finish his sentence before your lips were pressed against his.
“You are the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!” you yelled, kissing him all over his face between thank you’s.
When you broke apart, an excited squeal left you that had his ears ringing. You laid down fully on his chest and started rambling about how nice it would be to have some land so you could have a nice big garden filled with every fruit and vegetable imaginable, a decent sized back patio or porch for friends to come over, and plenty of space for the chickens to have a giant coop. You even started listing out possible names for the chickens. Your seemingly endless ramble ended unexpectedly as you trailed off mid-sentence, gasping slightly after a moment. You picked your head up just enough off his chest to look him in the eyes.
“If we have enough room, can we also have goats?”
Bucky groaned, “Don’t push it, Doll. I’ve barely agreed to the chickens.” He pulled you back down onto his chest and placed a gentle kiss on the top of your head before he continued reading.
It was almost a week later before Bucky had his next day off. He decided to plan a long-overdue date night. It was nothing fancy, just a casual dinner at a restaurant you liked followed up with dessert. After you left the restaurant, the two of you made your way through a stretch of Central Park. He had intended for it to be a romantic walk, full of hand-holding and kissing that maybe could lead to something else once you were back at the apartment. Instead, it quickly turned into one of the worst decisions of his life.
Everything was going according to plan until you spotted the raccoon family of three hanging out in the tree not far off the path. Bucky didn’t even need to look at you to know you were staring at them with the same heart eyes you always stare at animals with.
The raccoons were in a relatively low tree branch, each snacking on some food they had scavenged from a nearby trash can. You pulled Bucky off the sidewalk and into the grass. Your excitement grew with each step you took towards the tree.
“Bucky look at their little hands! How cute are they?” You whisper yelled, practically jumping up and down with excitement. You were so focused on them that it gave Bucky the chance to watch and appreciate how enamored you were. While it drove him nuts sometimes how many animals you wanted, it never stopped being adorable to him how passionate you were about them. Bucky had no doubt you’d manage to sweet-talk him into more than he’d care to admit, but if it meant seeing you smile like this every day then it’ll be worth it. He was so lost in his thoughts of what your future may hold that he hardly heard what you were saying to the raccoons. It wasn’t until you finally turned to look at him that he tuned back into what you were saying.
“Do you think raccoons would make good pets?”
Without a word, he picked you up and slung you over his shoulder before turning to walk away, shaking his head as he did.
“Oh my god, babe! Look at this baby cow!” you gushed, bursting out of the bedroom and into the kitchen where Bucky was making breakfast. “It’s so fucking fluffy, I need it.” The emphasis on need left Bucky scoffing as you shoved the phone into his hand. You stood there and stared at him, grinning ear to ear as you continued to ramble about the baby cow.
He eventually had to cut you off, “Doll, we’ve been over this a dozen times. You don’t actually want a cow, you just want a cow you can hang out with. Now sit down and eat your eggs before they get cold.” He scooped out some scrambled eggs onto a plate before placing it at your usual spot at the counter.
You grumbled slightly before sitting down on the barstool, stabbing your eggs harder than necessary with your fork. “You didn’t even acknowledge how cute it is.”
“It’s very cute. But I’ve already agreed to quite the menagerie so I have to put my foot down somewhere. I’ve already said yes to the chickens and it’s at least maybe on goats, and possibly a pig if we have enough room.”
“I’ve already said yes to the chickens and maybe on goats and pigs,” you said mockingly. “What difference does a cow make if we’ve already got all of those?” you asked, mouth full of food.
Bucky stared at you, shaking his head and sighing. “You’re lucky I love you, woman.” He pressed a kiss to your forehead and sat down to join you for breakfast.
It was almost a month later before the two of you finally were able to have a quiet night together. The evening had been spent cooking dinner, making a mess in the kitchen as you did, followed by making a different kind of mess in the living room not long after. Now, the two of you were laying in bed together winding down for the night. Bucky was reading while you laid there scrolling mindlessly on your phone. You giggled from time to time, pausing to show him a funny meme here and there, but for the most part, the room was quiet.
It wasn’t until you were in full-on giggles that Bucky leaned his book against his chest and stared at you waiting for an explanation.
Once the giggles died down, you rolled slightly to be closer to him. “You have to watch this wack ass video.” Your laughter started up again before you even hit play.
Bucky watched as the guy in the video kept pulling out stranger and stranger animals. He chuckled throughout the video, but it wasn’t until a thought struck him at the end that he really burst out laughing.
“That’s going to be you in five years if I haven’t already married you and kept your psychotic ass from getting an unreasonable amount of animals.”
Your laughter died and you stared at him reproachfully. “Bucky, baby...do you think I’m psychotic?” Somehow you managed to sound unconcerned by the possibility of being psychotic. If anything, you seemed almost amused.
“Honestly? I think you’re on the brink of snapping sometimes,” he said with a slight shrug.
You stared back at him, not fully sure if he was joking or not. The serious look on his face confirmed he wasn’t joking and you couldn’t help but laugh. “Good to know you think I’m one mental breakdown away from snuggling with a possum, you jerk,” you teased, placing a quick peck on his cheek.
Bucky turned to fully face you, looking you dead in the eyes. “Be honest with me, if the possum was replaced by one of those raccoons we saw a couple weeks ago, how unreasonable would that seem to you?”
Your face felt hot and you stuttered for a moment before going quiet. “I guess that’s fair,” you mumbled, eyes rolling slightly. “But raccoons are cuter, you can’t blame me for wanting to snuggle one.”
“I know, you fucking weirdo. Now come here,” Bucky said, grabbing you and pulling you into his chest. He pressed a kiss to the top of your head and a comfortable silence fell over you. A few minutes later, Bucky spoke again.
“For the record though, possums and raccoons are both firmly on the ‘no’ list.”

28. Part 2
Clinton decided to bring such news at such a weird moment, he bought news to his son but bought those kids that Chris dislikes and the white lady. I don’t know what Clinton wants me to do, I understand Chris and what he is going through. I know my baby does not want to bother with him or anything to do with him because of this. Joyce is just as stupid because Chris has made it clear, he doesn’t want to know those kids. They look nothing like my baby anyways so that is good, I feel bad because they all look under ten and they look at Chris in awe, that is their brother but Chris doesn’t want to know. Putting Chris’ jacket on as I walked outside, I can hear the basketball out here, he must be out here. I don’t miss the cold in VA at all, here I am outside with slides on. I am so damn cold, Chris is here with just a tee on and shorts. If he gets ill, I don’t want to know. Chris and his love for dog’s, playing basketball with them as they chase him from one part of the court to the other. I can never get away from dog’s since being with Chris, he has them everywhere. Closing the gate behind me, Chris threw the basketball to the other side of the court and shuffled his way to the wall on the side of the court, watching him sit down on the wall.
I don’t know what to say to him, I am on my husband side and if he doesn’t want to be there then so be it but what can I say “let me guess they sent you out to tell me to come back in? They are so wack, I have the world’s stupidest parents” I don’t like to see him sad “I know baby, I understand you so much because I go through the same bullshit but your dad does want you to come back in, he has something he wants to tell you” Chris dragged his eyes away from the ground and to me “I don’t want to know, he can go back to his trailer. You wasn’t there but those stupid kids hugged me, I was like what the fuck but I didn’t do anything but stand there. I don’t know them like that and he knows it, he is pushing it in my face and it’s getting me angry. My mom is stupid, she stood there with the woman he left her for. Why is everyone so dumb” placing my hand on his shoulder “I am sorry baby” Chris held my free hand and pulled me towards him, he wrapped his arms around my waist and rested the side of his face on my stomach “I just want my own family now, I want to do things my parents didn’t do. Like my dad not teaching me how to be a man” looking down at Chris “why are you getting yourself worked up for? Stop it” moving my head to the side, he is getting all teary eyed now “you just don’t know how much you need those life lessons when you’re younger, I could have been normal if I knew how to be an adult. Shit is just a guessing game, I be googling how to be a man” Chris moved his head back, looking up at me “you are a man, you’re my man. You’re doing the perfect job in being a husband, you didn’t need him Chris. You took your time but look at you Chris, it’s a shame that we are in our thirties and it took so long but we made it. We are having our own family, our child will adore you as much as I do. I know you don’t want to know but I will be with you, just hear him out” I don’t like my baby sad at all.
Opening the bathroom door “you really waited for me” I chuckled, Chris wouldn’t go in the dining room without me “well I want you with me, I feel like I get ganged up on if I say the wrong thing. It’s happened before” wrapping my arms around Chris’ torso “I got you Chris” moving back from the hug, holding on to his hand “at times I am like I love my dad and then there is moments like this where I just hate him, I shouldn’t be angry with him. Anger is not good” staring at Chris’ face, I just wonder how he will react to the news he will give him. Chris seems to be very angry at his dad right now “I am annoyed that the white bitch and her white ass son met you” squeezing his hand laughing “stop it, just stay quiet and just go with the flow. I will be with you, nobody will gang up on you” turning the corner “I am glad you came back Chris” Joyce said “well I can’t have you crying about it, I just want to hear what he has to say and then I go about my day” I was going to move my hand but Chris didn’t let me, Chris and I sat down at the same time “I made mistakes Chris, I know but I am trying to make amends” Clinton is like my dad, besides the drinking but he’s useless.
If Clinton and Joyce are smart enough then they would have Chris in a room on his own, why have this “I have recently found out that I have Leukemia and I am very scared about this journey, I may not make it out alive and I will be going through treatment. I know I haven’t been around for the most part of your life so you may feel no difference even if I was to go” staring at Chris’ face, he didn’t even flinch. I am shocked to see Joyce actually crying “you’re the same nigga to go to the newspapers to speak on me, said that Rihanna wasn’t good for me. You made money by doing that, if you want money then I am the wrong nigga to come too. You and those kids” I cringed, Chris let my hand go “Chris, don’t be so rude” Chris stood up “you’re pathetic crying for a nigga that didn’t want you, I always tried with you dad! You made out like you didn’t want the fame but deep down you did, what do you want me to do now huh? You dying so you want me to forgive you? My mom may do but I don’t, you never saved my ass when I saw the shit, you was never fucking there. You think I will let these have a good life, fuck you” I see Clinton getting very angry every time he speaks on the kids “you need to let it go son, you’re becoming very bitter for this” Chris shook his head, seeing Chris’ hand ball up in a fist. Getting up from the chair “let’s just go” I said to him “let it go? This is why I am letting you go, you can die in your trailer. You did nothing for me, saw me on the weekends but yet you knew mom was getting beat, those kids will be trailer shit like you” Clinton stepped forward so quickly, I moved back “no, don’t you dare hit my son!” Joyce stepped in front of Chris “not my baby!” she spat “I told you, I said for you to come on your own! Now please, just go!” Joyce sobbed out saying.
Chris really hasn’t moved from his position, his fist still balled up. Tootie escorted Clinton and the family out “Chris, I would never let him hit you. I am sorry” Joyce touched his cheeks with her hands “Chris, baby” pushing the chair out of the way “I will see to Tootie” Joyce rushed off, holding Chris’ wrist “Chris, it’s ok. He’s gone now” walking around him “come on, baby. I know you want to cry, let it out” Chris heaved out, his fist loosened “come here” wrapping my arm around his neck, it broke my heart to hear him cry on my shoulder “this is all his fault Chris, don’t feel bad ok? He did this to you because you wanted him and he was never there, he is now there for those kids and it hurts you. I understand” feeling myself getting choked up “everything is going to be ok baby” Chris moved back from me walking off “don’t follow me” he said lowly, he wants to be alone and I don’t want to be in his space. This whole VA trip has turned so terrible, pushing the chairs in. Let me clean up, that will give him time and space “Christopher!” hearing Joyce shout, this family is a mess and I complain about my own, hearing a bang of some sort “oh god” I said to myself, rushing out of the dining room. I hope he is not decided to start breaking things “leave me alone, you set me up. I hate you” Chris said to his mom, I gasped seeing the hole in the door. Did he just do that “I won’t have you breaking things!” Joyce shouted at him “this is my house, I can do what the fuck I like. You don’t own me, if I want to break things I will” I don’t like this side to Chris at all.
Chris and Joyce are literally going back and forth, I don’t want to get involved but this is too much “please stop this, this argument is getting nowhere” walking by Joyce “I told you to not follow me” Chris said “you right, you did and I did because I heard the bang and then I see you did that, just stop it. For me, just go to the games room. I don’t want this, I will come down with some food and we will talk” Chris turned around to walk off “he does really listen to you” Joyce said behind me “I am so angry at this situation, this could have all got avoided” Turning to Joyce “I don’t want to be rude or disrespectful but why!? Chris sees that man as a guy that never helped him when he needed it, whatever Clinton wanted from him he did it the wrong way. Why bring those kids, why set him up in such a way. Both of you did it to him and you still are, you got to back me up here Tootie” I know for a fact it wasn’t just me thinking the same shit “I did say it was a bad idea, Clinton and Chris have never been close. He was there in the background and Chris does blame him for not helping, he shouldn’t have felt like he needed to be a man at the age of fifteen if Clinton showed him the way. My brother’ mind was messed up from the jump, he is now settling down but I agree with Rihanna, it was wrong” I am glad I am not the only one.
Walking down the steps into Chris’ games room, I hope he hasn’t decided to trash the room. I got him a plate of food though, nothing looks ruined down here. Breathing out a sigh of relief, seeing Chris asleep on the couch with Cartoon Network on. Placing the plate on the table and his drink, sitting down next to him. Taking the remote out of his hand, reaching my hand up and placing it on his forehead. His head is a little warm “Chris” moving my hand away from his forehead “Chris baby” placing my hand on his leg and shook him “huh” he bought his head forehead “what happened?” he looked at me all spaced out “nothing, just waking you up. I got you some food, it’s cold down here. Eat so we can go to bed, take some painkillers and sleep” Chris cleared his throat stretching out his body “did you make this now?” Chris’ voice all husky “yeah, I made it for you. It’s fresh, what you trying to say?” Chris shuffled off the couch a little “nah, I was just asking. You put effort in for me” he opened his can of Sprite first “well I made some chicken for myself too, I ate that already and then I came here” holding my hand out, I am thirsty myself now. Chris moved the drink away from his lips “what?” he questioned “I am thirsty, give me the drink nigga” Chris chuckled “don’t drink it all” taking the can from him “your left enough saliva on the rim” side eyeing Chris “you’re the same woman to swallow my cum and be sucking on my tongue and you complaining about saliva, girl bye” moving the drink away from my lips trying not to laugh with the drink in my mouth, he is such an ass.
I hate wearing baggy clothes but I ain’t got the choice because baby Brown wants to make an appearance, I just feel the bump getting bigger. What if the baby is huge, I hope my body snaps back into shape. Furrowing my eyebrows as I stood to the side, I love seeing my stomach like this. I love being pregnant, to think I have a mini us in my stomach but if my body doesn’t snap back into shape, I will be depressed. Hearing the bedroom door close “did you speak to your mom?” I shouted to Chris from the bathroom, my nipples are huge and I mean I had big nipples already “yeah I did, why are you naked again?” picking up the tee from the side “because I like to stare at my body, what did your mom say? Did you lock up the home?” placing the tee over my head “already find your home creepy so you better have” pulling the tee down “I did, I checked it and it’s fine. I said sorry to my mom and she said sorry to me, she is hurting to know I feel the way I do, I don’t like speaking about it to my mom because it happened to her and it’s bad memories but that shit happened to her and then mentally I got scarred. We hugged and then she went bed, spoke to Tootie while I locked up. Now I am here” I am proud of him “I am happy with you, it’s not Joyce’ fault. She is gullible and I don’t think she thought he would do such a thing” Chris looks so tired so I won’t ask for sex, sucks for me I guess.
Sitting Indian style on the bed looking at Chris “why are you not getting in bed?” Chris asked as he placed the covers over him “I just feel like staring at you while you sleep, creepy right?” Chris pulled a face at me “it is, turn the table light off and get in bed” shaking my head “how are you feeling now?” reaching over and grabbing onto his hand “I feel kind of bad because he is my dad still and I would shed a tear if he did die but then I feel used, like he only wants me for other things. I feel like my family want to forget things that happened but I can’t, I can’t just hide what I felt then. I felt so helpless and I looked to my dad but he did nothing, I just want to forget it but I can’t. I think it’s more with the way he is about it. I am sorry I punched the door, I knew I was going to do something stupid that is why I wanted you to not come to me, I don’t want to disappoint you either Robyn. I want to be the best me to you” smiling at Chris “you already are, I just don’t want you to hurt yourself. Your knuckles are sore now too” Chris moved his hand away from my hand to look at his knuckles “it will go down, thank you for sticking by me” sighing out “I messed up once and I wouldn’t do it again, trust me” I just want Chris to be ok.
