Hidden Feelings

Summary; The Hellfire Club does not like Eddie's girlfriend Alice one bit, she's bitchy, and rude and Eddie always seems miserable. They think he deserves better.

Y/n is new to Hellfire and in love with Eddie but knows he's off-limits so keeps quiet.

Dustin just wants his two friends to be happy but it's all just hopeless... Right?

Warnings; angst, Alice is a bitch, miscommunication, manipulation tactics (Alice) swearing, mutual pining, angst to fluff. AU ❤

Likes, comments and reblogs are always welcome ❤ I do not give anyone permission to copy my work 💫💞

❤💫

They could hear Alice and Eddie fighting from where they were seated. It was so loud it reverberated off the walls.

Y/n winces as Eddie storms in slamming the door irritation clouding his features and he joins them.

"Sorry, I'm late". He murmurs and as the campaign starts he isn't his usual exuberant and dramatic self which worries her.

Dustin exchanges look with Gareth and her and she walks over to Eddie when he calls for a quick break and gently touches his arm.

His beautiful brown eyes meet hers and her belly fills with butterflies.

"Are you okay Eds?". He softens and nods planting a smile on his features, all dimples.

"I'm fine sweetheart, are you ready for movie night? Harrington let me pick the movie. Get ready for Nightmare on Elm street".

Jeff shakes his head before she can answer Eddie back.

"You're fine? You've been late for the last two meetings man, every time I see you, you're fucking miserable because of Alice".

Eddie avoids the group's stares and swallows.

"Just drop it alright dude, I've had Alice in my ear all day. Don't need to hear shit here too".

Dustin bites his lip and nudges her to say something. The only trouble is that shes head over heels in love with Eddie and anything she does say would not be nice about Alice one bit.

Alice didn't deserve Eddie, she was always getting down on him, keeping that beautiful smile from his face.

Dustin, Robin and Steve constantly encourage her to tell Eddie how she feels but she can't.

Yeah, Alice is a bitch but she's still Eddie's girlfriend and that makes him off limits. He doesn't feel the same and she needs to accept that.

No matter how much it hurt.

The campaign continues but there's tension in the air and she hates it. Ever since Eddie started dating Alice a month ago all she's done is cause tension.

Once the game is completed she helps Eddie clear up with Dustin, Lucas and Mike.

"Do you think I should dump Alice?". Eddie asks her and she freezes because she desperately wishes to say yes but stops herself.

"It's really up to you Eddie, not to me or any of the guys. Only you".

He's silent for a moment and plays with the rings on his fingers, he's stressed she can tell and she places her hand on his to calm him.

Something crackles in the air when their skin makes contact. It's heady and intoxicating but she resists the desire to move closer.

Eddie stares at her for a loaded moment.

"I'm not the good guy in this situation at all y/n, I was in love with someone when I got together with Alice".

She looks up at him shocked then immediately knows who it will be. Chrissy Cunningham, according to Gareth back in middle school Eddie had a massive crush on her so maybe those feelings have returned.

"I mean yeah that's a bit messy Eds but she treats you like utter shit, she's mean to everyone here all the time and I hate how she yells at you all the time. You deserve better". It just slips out and she cringes.

Before Eddie can reply the boys join them excited for movie night.

💞💫💞💫

Alice hated her. She made that known from the minute they met and never let her and Eddie be alone for even a second.

At lunch, she sat beside Eddie which was usually Dustin's seat but Alice wouldn't budge from Eddie's side.

"Oh, y/n I was just wondering if you and Steve were a couple. You're both single aren't you?". She frowns shaking her head.

"We're both single yeah but we're just friends". Alice bats her eyes and giggles.

"Silly me. Why not date him though? Steve is very handsome". Alice asks confused.

"Yeah but I just don't feel that way about him". She watches Alice's eyes light up and it makes her uneasy.

"But you're in love with someone?". When she doesn't answer Alice smirks,

"Oh my god, you are? Who is it? Do we know them, surely you can say?"

What is she playing at? There's something like glee in Alice's eyes and she realises that is a game.

Alice knows how she feels about Eddie and is toying with her, knowing she won't say anything about it.

"Leave her alone Alice". Eddie snaps and the temperature plummets as Alice turns an icy glare onto him.

The bell ringing is her saviour because she is so close to snapping herself and gets up hurrying away quickly.

"Y/n, wait". Eddie catches up with her and she offers him a small smile. " Jesus H Christ, I'm sorry about that sweetheart".

She shrugs. She's used to Alice being a bitch to her.

"It's okay". He's quiet for a second looking like he desperately wants to say something but is conflicted.

"Are you in love with someone?". He eventually inquires and she feels flustered.

"Eddie, it doesn't matter". God, please don't ask anymore she begs silently.

"You are? He guesses correctly. Who's the lucky guy?". Something in his tone makes her pause, she can't put her finger on what is though.

"It doesn't matter, he doesn't feel the same way Eds". She's quick to say and hopes the conversation is done because if he guessed how she felt she would be mortified.

"Then he's an idiot". He murmurs and walks away, she watches him go longing to say how she feels.

💖💫

She's sick the next couple of days and spends most of it cuddled up in bed. Eddie, Robin and Steve join her for movies and popcorn which is very sweet because she naps through most of it.

Mostly they just keep her spirits up.

Eddie seems lighter than he has in ages but the sickness takes it out of her before she can ask what happened.

She figures she will find out what's going on when she goes back to school on Thursday as there is an extra Hellfire session this week.

So she just relaxes with the three of them unaware of the shit storm on it's way.

💫💖

Nancy keeps her busy at lunch working for the school newspaper so she doesn't see any of Hellfire or find out why Eddie is in such a good mood.

Alice seems to be extra pissed today and directs most of the ire her way for some reason and corners her after school as she is just about to head to Hellfire.

"We need to talk". Alice grabs onto her arm and she scowls.

"Get off me!". She pulls free of Alice's grip and glares at her.

"You think I don't know how you feel about Eddie you sneaky little bitch! I bet you were quick to poison his ear about me". Alice is inches away from her face and seething.

"What the fuck are you talking about? No, I haven't but yeah Eddie deserves better than you".

Alice laughs. "And you think that's you? You're pathetic babe. You and all that Hellfire shit".

Furious she decides to walk away before she does something she regrets, like slap the smirk of that bitches face but she's not a violent person so she tries to reign her temper in. Alice follows her.

"You think I don't know what those Hellfire freaks think. They don't like me? Tough shit. Alice hisses, I told Eddie all about your crush and he wants you out of the group, he's disgusted by it but just too nice to tell you himself".

She stops walking. Her heart beats fast, anxiety filling her.

Eddie knows how she feels and now she's humiliated but something irks her.

"No, he's the head of the group, he'd tell me himself". She's certain of that but falters under Alice's sneer.

"That's what you think. Hand in your Hellfire shirt tonight and leave Eddie alone. I don't know why you ever thought Eddie would want you". She snorts then leaves.

Y/n wrenches the shirt off trying very hard not to cry and heads into the auditorium where Eddie and the rest of Hellfire are setting up.

"Omg, you'll never believe what happened... y/n?". Dustin asks excited features slowly turning confused at her tears but she focuses on Eddie and drops the shirt on the table. He takes it looking at her puzzled.

"Sweetheart?" Alice walks in looking smug.

"Alice told me everything, that you want me out of the group? Do you think I wanted to fall in love with you knowing you don't feel the same way and never will?".

Eddie grips the shirt and looks at her in wonder.

"You love me?". Tears roll down her cheeks and Alice giggles.

"I told her how you felt Eds that you are so disgusted by her being in love with you and were too scared to kick her out of the group because you don't feel the same".

Eddie gapes and moves to hold her.

"No sweetheart". She backs away from him and Dustin swivels around to Alice.

"You bitch". Y/n doesn't understand what's going on she just wants to leave and runs out the door missing the way the auditorium erupts in a whole lot of shouting.

💫💞💫💞

Max won't let her miss movie night so Steve picks her up with Robin while she sits quietly heart still aching from what transpired yesterday.

Since it's Hellfire night and that can run on she comforts herself that she can avoid Eddie even though she's really missing him.

As they head inside Family Video Steve hugs her tightly.

"Go to the store room there are some new movies in. Pick whatever you like". She thanks him and kisses his cheek.

As she enters the back room and clicks on the light Dustin is there and Eddie. What the hell?

"This is for your own good" Dustin yells at her and locks the door behind him.

"You little shit". She yells and turns back to Eddie sighing.

"Sweetheart will you please let me explain myself. What Alice said was a pack of lies. I dumped her on Monday".

This stops her in her tracks. He dumped her?

"What? You did?". He nods.

"When you were off sick, I've been growing more and more tired of her shit. She was ragging on you and Hellfire and I lost it, she made me so fucking miserable, I had enough".

She listens intently and he gently cups her cheek.

"Remember, when I said to you how I was in love with someone when I got together with Alice? I never stopped. Wouldn't have mattered if Alice was the perfect girl and not a fucking nightmare. Could never get the girl I loved out of my head".

He smiles warmly and she feels hope for the first time in a while that her feelings aren't so one sided after all.

"I told Alice we weren't working and could never work because I'm in love with you and I was sick of hiding It from you. I never thought you'd feel the same way princess but then you told me you did and I was so happy but Alice had told you all of those lies".

She leans into him and he kisses her hair.

"So you had no idea how I felt?". She asks him and he shakes his head.

"Not until you said, I'm sorry baby. I should have just told you how I felt but I thought that you liked Harrington so I tried to move on, Alice guessed how I felt and told me I'd have no chance".

She swears.

"I love you, Eddie, I'm so in love with you but I never said it because I didn't think you felt the same way. Then you started dating Alice and I thought I lost my chance".

He closes his eyes beaming happily.

When he opens them, they are so full of love that she feels like an idiot that she never noticed before and kisses him.

"We are both idiots". He chuckles warmly and she nods through happy tears.

"Yes, we are".

Dustin shouts asking if they have sorted things out and opens the door when they both shout yes.

Eddie ruffles Dustin's hair and they join movie night hand in hand.

❤

The Hellfire Boys seem delighted that she and Eddie are together, they are both so much happier now they don't have to hide how in love they both are.

Alice also thankfully doesn't bother them again either and they finally get their happy ending.

❤💫❤💫

The Moment~ Eddie Munson

Anonymous asked:

Would it be possible for this request (only if you have the time ♡) if the reader comes to the high school to visit dustin and mike in the cafeteria to see how they are and Eddie sees them and is just instantly in love. You can take it from there lol So sorry if this is a sucky request lol thank you ♡ LOVE you’re writing

m-rae23 ~ palomam18 ~eddiesprincess86 ~figmentofquinn ~gloomybrieyxb ~hqtetsurou ~ theintimatewriter ~slightlyvicked

" is your sister coming back today?" Mike as he and Dustin made their way to the cafeteria. Dustin nodded, " Yeah she's taking a break from college and moving back into her old room. I haven't seen her in a year, man I can't wait to see what she brought me"

After graduating Hawkins High School, you were accepted in college in Chicago wanting to do something with film. You were known face in Hawkins, you used to the girl that wore glasses and wore a pony tail as you strutted through the hallways of Hawkins High School. You were a book worm and one of the smartest kids in the school.

" What about me?" Mike mumbled as he took his tray in his hands walking to the Hellfire table with Dustin by his side. " She possibly forgot about you" Dustin shrugs.

" Who are we talking about Henderson?" Eddie says as he opens his lunchbox taking the snack he packed for himself as he opens it.

" My sister" Dustin says. Eddie scrunches his eyebrows as this is the first time he's hearing about this. He didn't know that Dustin had a sister and has never seen her before. Mike nods, " She's pretty cool and really nice" Mike says.

" Why is this the first time I'm hearing about your sister?" Eddie ask as he throws some of snacks he was about to eat towards Dustin.

" She's been away to college, she's taking a break and said she missed me"

" And me" Mike nods as he twirls his fork in his lunch in disgust.

" She graduated from here about a year ago, I believe she was in the same year as Steve" Dustin nods as he remembers how you and King Steve used to throw insult at each other, at least that's what you told him. Eddie tries to remember if he seen you around but doesn't really know what you look like but Mike beats him to it before he can ask.

" She always had glasses and her hair in a pony tail. She always had a book in her hands and always knew the question to every answer" Mike says, " Right?" He nudges Dustin. Dustin nods.

Eddie sits trying to remember you when he thinks back. Then just like that, he does. He remembers the way you walked through the halls with a book in your eyes sight and headphones in, walkman by your hip. He remembers the black round glasses and how you wore every color of the rainbow of your scrunches. He remembers sharing a class with you and you would sit in the front, but he remembers the way you would shout at Steve when he tried to bother you.

He remembers you.

The doors to the cafeteria open and it makes the whole cafeteria silent as eyes fall on you. You no longer carried the pony tail you used to have. Your hair was long and past your shoulders. You didn't have glasses on, you wore contacts in your eyes as your eyes roamed the cafeteria for your brother. You wore a Motley Crue shirt with blue shorts pairing up with white converse on your feet. You were no longer the book worm.

Gasps and eyes stared at you wide eyed, mainly Eddie's mouth dropped at the sight of you. He forgot his snack as it remains on the table untouched. His eyes are wide as he stares at your body. You were beautiful.

Your eyes landed on a cap at the table that you knew it was your brother. Dustin giggled as he stood up from his seat as he runs to you, throwing his arms around you. He leans his cheek into your stomach, squishing himself.

You made an oof sound when he collided glancing down at your brother.

" Good to see you, Dusty Bun" Dustin doesn't really care that you used that nickname but he looks up with a wide smile. " I see your teeth are coming in, growing into a big boy. Aren't we?" he chuckled.

" It's been too long" Dustin says.

" Y/N!" Another pair of hands wrap around you, you laughed hugging him to the side. The both of them grew so big over the year that you last saw them. " Look at you boys, all mature and grown up. I can't believe it"

" Better believe it" Mike says as he smiles at you. Eddie watches the interaction between the three of you and he can't help it but stand up from his seat and makes his way over to you.

" Well, Well, Well, what do we have here?" your head turns to a new voice and chuckle fully knowing who it was standing. Dustin talked about Eddie a lot, describing him to a T. He talked about how Eddie took him in with Mike, how he looked after them and how much Dustin admired Eddie.

" Eddie, this is my sister Y/N Henderson" Dustin wrapped an arm around your waist, a little tight as he noticed the look on Eddie's face. Your eyes roamed Eddie from the mop of curls around his head to the brown eyes that were shining, to the dimple and that smile, to his vest that held pins in them from various bands he listened to, to his Hellfire shirt, to the chain on his pants to his Reebok shoes.

" Eddie Munson at your service" Eddie smiled as he bowed down to you and you noticed the bat tattoo on his arm. He was so pretty.

You giggled causing Mike and Dustin to frown as they look between Eddie and you.

" No" Dustin pointed a finger at Eddie, " Absolutely not."

Eddie glanced down at the smaller Henderson confused on what he means but the smile he has lingers there. He can't help it but be in awe of you, his heart raced when you locked eyes with him.

If anyone else was looking at Eddie right now, you would say that his eyes were in heart shape eyes, he had a dreamy look on his face and he looked like he was ready to be in a puddle.

" It's okay, Dustin" you tell him rubbing his shoulder.

" You can't be serious, Eddie" Mike mumbled putting his arms across his chest as he glanced at Eddie and then at you. You too were looking at Eddie with your own heart shape eyes.

" Shut it, Wheeler" Eddie say as he holds out his hand for you. You glance at his palm facing up, and you put your hand into his. He brings it up to his lips laying a kiss on your hand. You can feel the calluses from his guitar playing as Dustin mentioned to you.

Your cheeks paint a hint of red feeling his lips on your skin.

" Nice to meet you, sweetheart" the nickname makes your knees weak. Dustin is stomping his foot in the back.

" Nice to meet you too, pretty boy" Something changes in Eddie as he hears you call him pretty. He has never in his life been called pretty before and it makes his heart flutter. He likes it when you call him that. You think you had upset him, ready to apologize when he grabs a hold of your wrist and drags you out of the lunchroom.

" Eddie! Y/N! NO!" Dustin shouts.

"Where are we going?" you ask Eddie as he drags you out of the high school.

" You up for an adventure, sweetheart?" There it goes that nickname again. He leads you to his van and opens the door for you.

" Such a gentleman" he rushes to the other side after he closes your door and gets into the van. He looks at you, " I think I'll like you, Henderson."

" I think I'll like you too, Munson" you says, sending him a wink. Eddie could melt in his seat if he wanted but he grips on the wheel tight as he looks at you with awe.

There was defiantly a spark there. He starts the van and drives off but you watch in the mirror as Dustin and Mike run out of the school yelling as they chase the van making you laugh.

Eddie was sure it was going to be his favorite sound.

INTIMATE | steve harrington

+ steve harrington x henderson!reader

summary: after running away from the russians, you and steve have a conversation in the mall bathroom, and some feelings are confessed

warnings: a few kisses (in this case, ew, right?) and a lot of fluff!

word count: 0.7k

a/n: english is not my first language, so let me know if there are any mistakes; gif is not mine, i found it on pinterest | masterlist here.

YOU WERE PRETTY sure the bathroom ceiling was spinning. Or maybe you were spinning?

After evading the Russians with the great help of Dustin and Erica, you, Steve and Robin were on the bathroom floor, throwing up everything.

“I- I need to drink water.” Robin speaks, swallowing the remaining saliva in her mouth. Standing up towards the bathroom exit door.

"Are you okay?" Steve's voice sounds from the other side of the door.

“Unnnhmm”

“Are you still groggy?” He says with a laugh.

"Maybe?" You say, returning the laugh. “For a brief moment I thought I was going to die drugged around Russians and two idiots.”

"But Henderson has arrived, that kid knows everything."

"He's a freaking Einstein, without a doubt."

"For sure... It's just not more than the sister." Steve answers you, stealing a shy laugh from you. You were never so grateful for being apart because you were blushing like crazy.

A silence settles in the mall's bathroom. A silence that isn't awkward, but… comfortable?

Steve slides under the door, coming face to face with you.

"Hi." He speaks with a small rogue smile on his face. His eye swollen and purple clearly apparent.

"Hey." You reach out slightly to touch Steve's eye. "You took a beating, Harrington."

"Oh, don't tell me." Steve speaks with a sarcastic tone, earning him a light shove on his shoulder.

“You have no idea how much I wanted to punch you when you said Dustin's name in that room. You should be thankful that your eye is black enough.” you say, looking at the empty bathroom as you speak.

"Sorry about that." Steve says with clear regret in his voice. He was so stoned that he couldn't quite rationalize when he spoke your brother's name to the Russians.

"It's okay, Harrington."

“Hey…” Steve clears his throat before continuing, “Can I ask you a question?”

"Yeah. But maybe I won't answer it.” He laughs and seems to hesitate before finally asking

"Why since we met you've only called me Harrington?"

"Because your last name is Harrington, idiot."

“Oh, don't tell me, Henderson. But come on, I know it's not just that. I mean, why don't you call me Steve?"

"I do not know. I feel like it's very intimate.”

"Intimate? Oh, come on. We are intimate.” He responds by gesturing with his hands.

"No, we are not." You say laughing and shaking your head.

“What is intimate to you?”

“Someone who is closely bound together by affection and trust.”

“And aren't we that? Because honestly, Henderson, I trust you way too much. And you know, you're way too pretty for anyone to see.”

“That is not the meaning of affection, Harrington. You're an idiot."

"And you are beautiful."

God.

Steve was approaching, so slowly it looked fast. He tucked a loose strand of her silky hair behind her ear.

“So so beautiful.”

"So so idiot."

And suddenly, solid lips against yours.

His kiss was a mixture of desire and desperation. You hesitated for a moment, too surprised by what was happening, but when you came to your senses, you advanced against his lips.

Steve's hands cup your cheekbones as you wrap your arms around his neck at the gum to pull him closer (if that was even possible.)

“How did idiot Henderson manage to have such a hot sister, hm?” Steve says, returning to your lips, placing several kisses.

"Oh, shut up." You smile against his lips as the bathroom door opens:

"You must be making fun of my face." Your brother says into the open bathroom door, while behind him, Robin and Erica have a satisfied smile on their faces. “Robin left you two alone for 5 minutes and you are already making out!”

You get up with a smile on your face, walk past your brother and pat him on the shoulder twice, heading towards the mall.

Steve, meanwhile, tries to do the same, but is stopped when a fist wraps around his arm.

"I'll kill you later, Steve." Dustin is serious.

"Ok. You will have your chance.”

Eddie Munson x Reader

Summary: You and Steve are siblings, Robin and Nancy are your girl best friends and Eddie is your guy "best friend" and y'all decided to go for a swim at the lovers lake in the afternoon.

Word Count: 1k13

Notes: You and Eddie are both 18 years old. Your gender doesn't matter in this fanfic.

~Enjoy<3~

You're at the lovers lake with Nancy Robin Steve and Eddie. Steve and Eddie are in the lake swimming and you and the girls are gossiping.

"So, y/n, anyone caught your eye?" Nancy asked you with a little smirk.

"Nah I don't think so" You reply unsure.

"Liar!" Robin replies shocked by your response.

"What?" You reply also shocked by Robin's response.

"What WhAt? You definitely have a crush on Eddie!" Robin yells-whispers.

"I agree with Robin. And he also definitely likes you back" Nancy adds.

"I don't know what you're talking about." You lie.

"Oh cut the bullshit! We can see how you guys look at each other. Friends don't look at friends that way." Robin says and you knew that was true.

But you wouldn't admit it. Because if you'd say you liked him you'd lie. Because you didn't just like him. You didn't just have feelings for him. He didn't just catch your eye. You fell in love with him. You couldn't stop thinking about him. You'd make scenarios all the time in your head with you and him. Not anything sexual. Just you and him. Just being with him was enough. Well not exactly but you know what I mean.

"Yeah maybe because we are best friends. And just imagine how Steve, would react if I even kissed Eddie." You comment.

"Oh fuck Steve! Plus, we can tell you're lying." Nancy says.

"Okay then! What's going on between you and Steve?" You reply knowing she will also lie.

"What do you mean what's going on between me and Steve?! Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Besides, I'm with Jonathan!" Nancy says raising her voice.

"Then where is he?" Robin asks.

"He just couldn't come this time all the way from California. He will next time tho. Now y/n stop trying to change the subject!" Nancy replies.

"I am not!" You reply lying again.

"Yeah sure. Oh look! Your boyfriend is coming over!" Robin says winking at you.

"ROBIN. BUCKLEY." You yell.

"What did she do this time?" Steve says.

"Nothing" Robin says laughing.

"Aren't you guys gonna swim? The water is perfect!" Eddie says.

"In a bit" Robin says.

"Same" Nancy adds.

"I wanna go in now but I'm way too bored to get up" You say.

"Nah you're going in" Eddie runs up to you.

"Huh?" You say confused.

Eddie picks you up and runs with you in his arms towards the lake.

"If you drop my sibling I will kill you!" Steve yells at Eddie.

You two were laughing so hard so were Nancy Robin and Steve. All of a sudden, Eddie jumps in the water with you.

"Wow the water IS perfect!" You say.

But the water wasn't the only thing that was perfect. Just think about it. You were in the love of your life's arms, he was admiring your face with his big brown puppy eyes and you were admiring his, with the sunset in the background.

"God you're beautiful." Eddie tells you with a smile on his lips.

You try to reply but you're shocked by his comment. I mean, he has called you pretty and stuff before but beautiful? That was new. You loved it. What you didn't realize tho was you blushing.

"And even more gorgeous when you're blushing." He adds.

"Thank you but I'm not blushing. I mean, why would I blush? I don't have any reason to-" You lie again but you get interrupted.

"I know you love me sweetheart." Eddie interrupts you.

"I- Uhh don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't lie to me sweetheart. And you don't have anything to worry about. I love you too." Eddie says looking in your eyes then to your lips and then back up to your eyes.

You get the courage and lean in a bit. And with that, he leans in a bit more and kisses you. It was finally happening. The love of your life was finally kissing you.

You could hear Robin cheering for you guys.

"I KNEW IT. I KNEW YOU HAD A CRUSH ON HIM. WOOO" She cheers-yells.

"DID HE JUST KISS MY SIBLING?" Steve reacts shocked.

"I think so, yeah" Nancy says smiling.

You guys stop kissing and start laughing because of Robin's and Steve's reaction. You look at each other and smile. Your smiles could literally reach your ears.

"I love you y/n Harrington" Eddie confesses.

"I love you too Edward Munson." You reply.

"Alright lovebirds come on out it's getting dark." Nancy yells.

"Just a sec." Eddie replies. "I have one last question for you Harrington."

"Hit it." You say knowing what the question would be.

"Do you wanna be my (boy/girl/your gender)?"

"Is that even a question?"

"I'll take that as a yes" Eddie says taking you out of the water, and with that he put you down and kissed you again. His lips were so soft and big. You didn't want him to stop. You just wanted to feel his lips on yours forever. So did he. But with Steve there, you couldn't.

"Are you guys a thing now? So you're gonna come over at our house all the time and I'll have to see you guys kiss and cuddle and shit? Because my single pringle heart wouldn't be able to take that." Steve interrupts you.

"Yeah pretty much" You reply.

"Well shit." Steve mumbles.

"Oh don't worry. For the more than kissing stuff we'll be at my trailer, isn't that right princess/prince?" Eddie says while smirking at you. putting his arms around your waist and placing a little kiss on your shoulder.

"Yup." You reply blushing.

"NO. I'LL WATCH YOU ALL THE TIME." Steve yells with everybody laughing at his reaction.

"Oh c'mon! Let them have fun! Besides, they're 18 years old! they can do whatever they want!" Robin says.

"I agree with Robin! You were fucking around at the age of 17 soo-"

"Okay okay that's enough. Fine you can do whatever you want with my sibling but I swear to God Eddie if you hurt them I will kill you man."

"I have no intentions of hurting them man. I love your sibling and I will do whatever it takes to make them happy. Because they're the love of my life and they deserve the best."

"Omg I love you." You say shocked.

"I love you too sweetheart" He replies, kissing you again. "Wanna sleep over to my place tonight?"

"Sure"

This was the best day of your life. And it was also about to be the best night of your life.

Fic Rec for February

I feel like I have expanded my reading horizons a little this month. Still mostly short one-shots, but you'll find some multi-chapters fics in there. And even a bit of smut to celebrate the Lovers' holiday.

S! i just finished scrolling through your entire subastian tag (and i mean who wouldn’t) and i can’t help but thing that even tho he’s the biggest and most beautiful sub no matter how beefy he is that it was really exemplified during his beefiest CW era (bc playing a big strong man all the time made him want to be taken care of more often) OR his fresh/pam and tommy era (bc the absolutely siiiize difference between him and chris) what do you think

Subastian is my FAVORITE in any form like-

Big, sweet Seb

gif by @/sebastianstaan

gif by @/rakshasa

Or tiny™️ Seb

But, I do admire your thoughts...

It would be so, so interesting to think about the effects his body composition/body build and current role(s) have on his submissive tendencies (which isn't even considering his body dysmorphia which would also impact him, so... yeah. There's an essay to write here lol).

Like, the example you give--that playing such a strong character might make him want to be cared for more than usual. Though, specifically for Bucky, I would actually wager that maybe it makes him feel the stronger need to be taken care of because slipping into the mindset of a tortured, haunted victim of brainwashing can be exhausting. He has to be so emotionally resilient-emotionally strong. Not just physically strong. And I'm well aware that Seb isn't a method actor but that doesn't mean that he's not going through emotional labor with his roles. So, I can imagine him going home at the end of the day with Chris and just wanting to curl up in Chris' lap as if he's not a grown man who weighs basically 200lbs for CA:CW. He just wants to feel small, safe, and cared for.

(Also, generally, I can so see much softer scenes for Chris and Seb during Marvel filming because of the added layer of connection between there characters Steve and Bucky. Y’know?)

And when he drops all the bulk for Pam & Tommy and Fresh by extension (re: roles that aren't superhuman people), I can totally see the size difference working its way under his skin. He just wants to know what it feels like. He's got a craving to be thrown around and make him feel lighter on his feet. He wants Chris to let loose and do a number on him... maybe it's the lessened bulk but also, maybe it's some of that reckless Tommy Lee energy that he's been trying to embody lately.

(Personally--I'll tell you a secret--I have the HUGEST (pun intended) soft spot for big subby Seb. I mean, Sebastian always has subby energy but just Look at those gifs of Seb bts for CA:CW!! He's so fucking ADORABLE. I just- *squeezes fist* wanna make him sob from pleasure. I wanna see those pretty eyes cry. I wanna see him crumble. He's so big, so you know he'd fall hard coming down.)

(Thinking about it more though... I think Seb probably radiates the softest energy when he was beefy for Bucky in Civil War because he could have been a little uncomfortable being so huge, so he might have tried to make himself smaller, tucking his shoulders in and smiling more and such. We know how sweet he is. He probably didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable by looking like a Big, Scary Man..... that's just a conspiracy though lol)

In conclusion: Good Thoughts! I'm so sorry I can't devote more time to this! College is kicking my ass lmao

It's your friendly Sam Wilson Anon back with another question so we can continue to fill the Sam Wilson tag with even more content !!! Just finished my 12th rewatch of TFATWS aks CAATWS it got me thinking. If you have seen TFATWS, What are your top 3 Sam Wilson scenes ? And what are your top 3 underrated Sam Wilson scenes ?

Thank You 💙😊

Okay, so, I've had this ask for a million years. Which is bad of me, I should have answered it when it came in, but the questions in it bogged me down because the panicky stressed flaily voice in my head was like "YOU'RE GOING TO ANSWER THIS WRONG AHHHHHH", but I'm shoving down that voice and I'm going to answer all the friendly Sam Wilson Anon questions I have.

SO, HERE GOES NOTHING!

MY TOP THREE SAM MOMENTS IN TFATWS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:

1. Sam and Sarah's Talk in The Truth and Sam Bringing the Community Together to Help Fix the Boat

I love how they check up on each other in this scene. I love how both of them know each other too well but also try to be there for each other in ways that aren't overstepping. I love the small moment where AJ and Cass walk in and Sarah reminds them to give lunches to a few boys who need them. I love knowing the fact that Sarah cares and notices when kids are going hungry and does something because she knows those kids need help. I love that she's just like her mom 🥺 I love that Sam finds a way to fix the boat by telling people that they need the help and the community proves that the Wilson family can lean on them in times of need. It's a beautiful moment for Sam and his sister, Sam and his family, and Sam and his community.

2. Sam Training in the Truth

I know this list is very The Truth heavy, but that's just because I like that episode as a whole. I like Sam's training montage because this is when Sam makes Captain America his own. He decides he's going to shape what Captain America is and prepares himself for the role he wants to make it. He watches the reactions of his nephews and sees the inspiration this brings to them. It's a wonderful, beautiful moment of Sam affirming what he wants to be and putting in the hard work to prepare for what he wants to be. I just love it.

3. The Party at the End of One World, One People

Rarely, is there such a moment of pure joy in the MCU like this. From On and On by Curtis Harding to the montage of people excitedly hanging out with Sam to the genuinely warm atmosphere throughout, it's just such a wonderful, celebratory moment. IDK, it's perfect. Sam and Bucky literally walk off into the sunset. I love it so much.

Underrate Sam Wilson Scenes in No Particular Order:

1. Sam Wilson and Bucky Hanging Out in Infinity War for No Reason

Why is Sam hanging out with Bucky outside? I have no clue. Do these two dorks probably have some place they should be instead of just hanging out together before the end of the world? Probably. But it nods to something about the in between of movies. Much like the airport scenes in Civil War and "Can You Move Your Seat Up?"s of it all, it nods to a growing friendship that built over time that wasn't on screen, so I think it's a great scene for subtle reasons and underrated because it's not a huge scene.

2. Sam at the Party in Age of Ultron

"I'm not actually sorry. I'm just trying to sound tough. I'm very happy chasing cold leads on our missing persons case. Avenging is your world. Your world is crazy."

I kind of love this because Sam allows boundaries for himself. He Gets to choose what he's doing and what he feels he can take on. He's secure enough in saying he doesn't want to be an Avenger at the moment. He becomes an Avenger later, but that's his choice too, one he makes understanding what that entails fully because he's been someone who's helped the Avengers and not technically been an official part of the team. I also love his talk with Steve in general and how we get to see Sam just hanging out on his off time at a party.

3. Sam and Rhodey Discussing the Secovia Accords

"So let's say we agree to this thing. How long is it gonna be until they LoJack us like a bunch of common criminals?"

I have a lot of different feelings about Captain America: Civil War and the Sekovia Accords in general, but I will say that Sam Wilson makes fantastic points about why he doesn't trust the Accords and why they shouldn't take them at face value as a net good. People always talk about Team Cap and Team Ironman or whatever, but the people who make the best arguments against and for the Accords are Sam and Rhodey imo.

Penholdergate is pretty much bones at this point, but I'm bored so

Now, I'm not saying that cryptic game the ST writers had going on was actually at all related to the pen of possibility from Anne with an E.

Initially, I thought it was weird they put this emphasis on it being a penholder. Like yes, you can put pens in it, and it can be referred to as such, but idk. I've just never heard it actually be called that, especially when it's surrounded by expo markers on a whiteboard? But anyways, whatever.

Could it all be a joke? Yes. Could it be hinting at something we have to look at deeper in order to figure out? Perhaps.

But, because I literally couldn't think of anything, my brain went straight to the pen of possibility and that took me on a whole different trip.

When promoting season 3 of Anne with an E, Amybeth hinted at the pen of possibility playing a significant role, even sneaking the pen emoji in a q&a, which she posted a week before the final episode aired.

Basically this whole penholder fiasco reminded me of AWAE in general, which makes this the perfect opportunity for me to ramble about how it could end up being one of many inspirations for ST5.

Them casting Amybeth and the Duffer's making a point to say they were big fans of AWAE means it's on their radar at the very least.

I’m also fairly certain they've watched it after recently finding out that, the first time Vickie was mentioned in ST4, during the boobies scene with Robin and Steve, the song Object of My Desire plays.

I kid you not, when Amybeth was announced for the role, I made a playlist of songs I hoped could potentially play during a Vickie scene (because they were released on or close to 1986). And Object of My Desire was one song in particular that I thought would be a cool easter egg/homage to AWAE, since the title matches fairly on point with Gilbert's letter to Anne in the last episode of the series.

If you haven't watched AWAE, I highly recommend it. It's surprisingly very queer and just beautiful all around. There's a lot of care put into all the storylines, both romantic, platonic and familial. I can see why the Duffer's would be fans because AWAE very much follows similar rules of storytelling as ST.

If you also aren't aware, the show is based on Anne of Green Gables, which is a book from 1908. It ended up being an 8 part book series, spanning decades from Anne's childhood to her adulthood, and with a lot of adaptations made based on it over the next century. One TV mini-series from 1985 in particular is especially beloved.

The original book from 1908 has also been referenced in ST itself, with Hopper having read it to both his daughter and then El later on.

And so it wasn't much of a surprise that the creator of AWAE wanted to do something different than the dozens of versions before it, by going more in depth into what was truly going on back then, but most likely wasn't explored fully for that very reason. And even despite all the backlash from Anne purists saying they ruined the story with woke-ness, the writers didn't give a fuck (sound familiar?).

Also, I want to say that a popular headcanon for Anne is that she was queer, as the writing of her does feel very much like she loved Diana in a way that wasn't acceptable back then (she talks about dreading the day Diana goes off and gets married, like she has literal nightmares about it...). With the books being written in the 1900's, and written by a woman, it wasn't an option to even tell a story from that perspective, without it being at most subtextual.

So honestly, if Anne and Gilbert hadn't been so perfectly written in AWAE, I may very well have shipped Anne and Diana more, similar to how I did with the books and a few of the other adaptations. But alas, the straights won this round.

Personally, I felt this version was building up Diana and Ruby, if anything. The way Ruby's crush on Gilbert was kind of a running joke throughout the series, only for her to drop him completely at a moments notice after developing a sudden crush on Moody? Idk, very comp-het of her. And Diana is like Mike Wheeler only 10x worse. Her entire arc was focused on her need to be normal: her disgust when finding out her aunt was a lesbian in s2 (ITS NOT NATURAL), only to start a fling with Jerry in s3, whom she kissed in private, but basically hurt in the end, when he realized she didn't like him beyond the kissing part. She also had a lot of resentment for the future her parents planned for her, which was finishing school and then marriage.

But honestly, the framing for them alone was just, interesting:

Still, even though I would argue Diana and Ruby were queer-coded, I don't think it was guaranteed to pan out as endgame in the end. Especially seeing as Ruby died in the books. So maybe the show getting cancelled was for the best...

Now, Cole on the other hand, was very much gay in canon.

Within the span of one season (s2), they introduced Cole, somehow managed to make it very clear he was gay, without saying it outright, and in a way that felt natural despite the time period that the show was set in (AWAE also had a lot of emphasis on the words weird/different = gay/freak). Although he went through hardships, Cole did get a happy resolution to his storyline at the end of the season, and I think that's what makes AWAE (and hopefully ST) so special.

Not only did we get a glimpse into Cole's perspective as a gay kid growing up in the late 1800's, we also got a more unfortunate perspective, their teacher, Mr. Phillips. Mr. Phillips experienced dangerously toxic levels of internalized homophobia, going as far as to take it out on Cole, essentially punishing a younger version of himself through projection. Whenever he caught Cole doing something perceived as feminine or out of the norm for men in those times, he would make a spectacle out of it and humiliate him.

He had also just jumped into a relationship with Prissy, the eldest girl in the class (ewwww). Although it seemed like he was interested in her romantically when things were still fairly casual, it's in moments of privacy you can see there is an internal struggle going on there. And as he and Prissy get more serious, talking about marriage, these confrontations with Cole are happening simultaneously with Mr. Phillips getting more and more dejected from reality and his impending heteronormative fate.

Although it wasn't clear to Prissy why he didn't love her the way she deserved to be loved, the audience knew it was because he was gay. Fortunately for her, instead of marrying him and being miserable for the rest of her life, Prissy ran out of the wedding, which lead to arguably some of the most beautiful shots in the entire show.

I can't end this mini gay AWAE analysis though without mentioning the beauty that is Gertie and Joe. It was revealed at the end of s1 that Diana's aunt, Josephine Barry, was lesbian, still mourning her love Gertrude, who had just died a year or so prior. But honestly, I'm going to stop there. That's all I'm gonna say because if I talk about them I'll get too emotional (THEY WERE ROOMMATES!).

Now, Anne and Gilbert. Like I said, if they weren't written and framed to very clearly be endgame all along, maybe I wouldn't have been so on board. But they were, and so here we are. (s/out to antis who are convinced all bylers only ship Mike and Will bc they're 2 boys. Newsflash, people ship byler bc of how they were written/framed to be endgame, just like Anne and Gilbert here. If it weren't for these sorbet bitches, I wouldn't have started shipping Byler in the first place. So, you can blame the straights for this one!.)

For those that haven't read the original books, Anne and Gilbert get together midway through the overall series, with the last couple novels even being from the perspective of their children (they had 7 total).

Now when I say endgame framing, I mean endgame framing.

Although back then, couples did get married fairly young, AWAE was based on the events of Anne's life at a really young age, spanning from 13-16, so marriage was just not in the cards for this adaptation.

Because of this, they used cinematography, specifically the framing of Anne and Gilbert, to hint that they would end up together, ie. them standing before a threshold in the finale of every season:

There's even a shot of them standing in front of the tunnel of love, where you can see a couple that resembles a future version of them walking in the background, foreshadowing the inevitable.

There's a lot of shots like this, and while neither of them are reserved to being exclusively on one side of the frame at all times (besides the threshold shots), it's clear the framing of them in general was intended to capture a chemistry building up over the years, which would eventually lead to a payoff, making all these little moments even more special once you can finally look at the story as a whole (remind you of anyone?).

For those who haven't seen AWAE or just want a refresher for the sake of this analysis, here goes:

During the first season, Anne and Gilbert more so embody the academic rivals to lovers trope. It isn't until the end of that season, after budding heads with Gilbert, that Anne realizes she has feelings for him. Unfortunately, it was too late, as he had apparently left town and probably wouldn't return ever again. Or so she thought.

She runs into him before he leaves, gets all overwhelmed, happy to see him (to his surprise) and they end up chatting over tea. They apologize to each other, argue over who should be apologizing, listen to each other's feelings and concerns, have their classic 'anyway' 'anyway' moment, and end it with a staring contest/their breaths catching, aka endgame coded behavior (remind you of anyone...)

In the first half of the second season, they stay in contact via letters. What I find funny is the way Bash teases Gilbert about the letters to Anne being romantic, all while Gilbert insists that she is just a friend. And at the same time Anne is rambling (unprompted) to Marilla that the letters between her and Gilbert are not romantic WHATSOEVER!

Then, in the second half of s2 they reunite and Gilbert basically implies that he came back to Avonlea bc of her. They start traditions together (Christmas episode my beloved), and even stand alongside each other fighting for what's right (getting Ms. Stacy her job back after being unjustly fired) and it's all just very wholesome (with a mix of academic rivals conflict). The season ends with Bash and Mary's wedding, the last shot being Anne and Gilbert standing in the threshold of the church entrance, talking about the future, with Gilbert repeating back something he overheard Anne say in a rant just a few episodes prior:

Gilbert: Tragical romance and all?

Anne: Remains to be seen.

Essentially, they foreshadow their own fate (REMIND YOU OF ANYONE?)

What follows is the third and final season, which means endgame was fast-tracked and so what we got was peak mutual pining/misunderstanding/jealousy tropes, ending with the classic letters tragically unreceived until the very last second trope.

Initially, at the start of s3, Anne pushes Gilbert towards Ruby, by confronting him about the take notice board in a conversation that leaves both of them slightly hurt and confused. Because according to Ruby, while Anne talked to him about her, his eyes were full of romance. Only Gilbert wasn't smiling because of Ruby, he was smiling because he thought Anne was talking about herself and their future, about the two of them taking notice of each other. The moment Anne says Ruby's name, Gilbert's face falls, no longer interested (*cough* van scene *cough*)

In the following episode, Anne pushes Gilbert away even more, insisting she doesn't need him, but it was only because she was frustrated that she needed a man accompanying her in order to travel. But Gilbert took this as her not needing him at all, and was pretty much just defeated at this point. He'd hoped they could use this opportunity traveling together privately to get closer, but now he's starting to think maybe Anne truly doesn't feel the same. And so he decides to give her the cold shoulder, and proceeds to attempt his 'moving on from my true love' era. He then meets Winifred Rose only a couple scenes later, who he begins courting soon after. They even go out to tea a couple of times...

Mary's sickness and passing is something both Anne and Gilbert struggle with, as they have come to associate each others families as their own. So despite the recent tension between them, they quickly go back into a flow of mutual understanding.

When Gilbert gets upset upon realizing, that if he continues with his passion of becoming a doctor, he'll have to deal with people dying and not being able to save everyone, Anne quickly comforts/encourages him for being the kind of doctor people would want to bring their loved ones to, because he cares so much (Caring deeply will always be the right thing). You can see this means a lot to Gilbert. Then when rehearsing the dance for the carnival, Gilbert messes up the formation of the dance to get closer to Anne, where they enter their own little world. Time slows; it's electric. We then see both of them flustered over what they're feeling afterwards.

The rest of the season is filled with misunderstandings, but also moments that parallel to previous seasons, where they work together to stand up for what's right (Who knew, we'd make such a good, T-E-A-M) and all of these feelings basically build up, making both of them wonder if maybe the other could actually feel the same way.

So, when Gilbert is offered the perfect future, the Sorbonne in Paris (his dream school) completely paid in full by Winifred's father if he agrees to propose to her, his first instinct is to track down Anne to ask her what she thinks. When he finds her, she's drunk at the ruins with all their classmates, celebrating finishing the queens entrance exam. But she's confused and quite frankly speechless over the fact that Gilbert felt the need to get her input at all. The choice seemed obvious to her. And that's when we have this long awaited moment happen, where it's basically confirmed Gilbert does indeed return Anne's feelings, that she's literally the one thing holding him back. Unfortunately, Gilbert interprets Anne's hesitation and confusion as rejection. And Anne also sort of interprets this as making him choose between her and his dreams which, she obviously doesn't want to get in the way of.

But it doesn't matter. Because Gilbert still can't go through with marrying Winifred. He spends the whole day before confronting her, visiting places all over the Island, specifically places that remind him of home (Anne). He even goes to the destroyed Avonlea Story Club (*cough* Castle Byers *cough*) and takes one of the sea shells there from Anne's abandoned collection and brings it with him. We then see him looking conflicted between the ring he's supposed to propose to Winifred with, and the sea shell that symbolizes his love for Anne.

It isn't until the opening scene of the series finale that we see Gilbert calling off his impending engagement to Winifred. (I care about you very much / But not as much as for a certain someone?)

Just before this, in the second to last episode, Anne wrote a letter to Gilbert revealing her true feelings, because their talk at the ruins made her start to believe he could feel the same. But the letter (tragically) never gets to Gilbert.

In a last ditch effort before leaving forever potentially (again), Gilbert also leaves Anne a letter revealing his true feelings, which Anne also never receives (even more tragically if you can believe that).

And all this miscommunication comes to a head at the very end, when Winifred reveals the truth to Anne, and Diana reveals the truth to Gilbert. What follows is them both running to find each other, where they kiss, only to once again go their separate ways, pursuing their dreams, with Anne going to school in Charlottetown to eventually be a teacher/writer, and Gilbert to Toronto to study medicine. They make plans to write each other. (I have follow up questions! / So do I!).

Even though the show ended there, because of the books and all the hints the show left along the way, we know that they end up together.

So, as you can see, the pen lived up to its name as the pen of possibility. I also think the comment Anne made early on, about how Gilbert doesn't have a way with words, was meant to ironically hint at the fact that he very much does have a way with words, and that Anne, and we the audience, would find out soon enough.

But like I said, it's entirely unlikely that the ST writers were hinting at the pen of possibility, like SOO unlikely it's unreal. That wasn't even my main point making this. There just honestly hasn't been much to go off with this whole penholdergate thing, and the tag is so dead anyways, so i figured, why not? And I really just needed an excuse to bring up how similar the style of these shows are when it comes to narrative choices, especially the set up for shirbert and byler, because like I said, full serious, I never would have put so much consideration into Byler if it wasn't for how endgame coded they were, just like Shirbert.

Specifically the way Mike looks at Will, it just feels very, very similar to the way Gilbert looks at Anne.

Nevertheless, I still think this adds an interesting layer of possibility to the whole lettergate/pocketgate theory for ST5. After all, we know Will is good at painting, and it's his love language, which is why he gifted Mike a painting in the first place. In contrast, we're given these implications that writing is Mike's love language. He also attributes it to romantic feelings, which is why he feels he has an obligation to reserve letter writing to El, his girlfriend. But because it is his love language, there's an element of truthfulness that he can't fully submit to. He couldn't 'in good conscious' go through with it fully, by ending his letters to El with, "love Mike", as it would have contradicted the whole truth of this being Mike's love language.

I feel like the only way for them to properly resolve this whole storyline, is to let us see a letter from Mike. Perhaps a letter ending with, 'love--?. Perhaps a letter addressed to Will?. (Just as long as he doesn't rip it up before he even reads it or step on it and lose it outside, crumpled in the dirt, never to be found. Iykyk. Those were tragic times in Anne nation.)

As you can probably tell by now, there's a shit ton of things the ST writers could pull from AWAE for inspiration, but we won't know if they have done so officially unless it ends up being listed on the updated whiteboard for ST5. If it isn't, then we can rule it out and move on. But if it is (genuinely possible), then I wouldn't be surprised to see some of these elements above paralleled, either with literal parallels or just narratively in a broad sense when it comes to certain characters dynamics and their inevitable fate...

39 | Vecna's Curse

Series: Trouble In Hawkins (Steve Harrington x Henderson! Eddie Munson x Henderson!)

Word Count: 2.2k

Warnings: None

Today Skylar was actually going to work since Robin was scheduled to be with Steve and her. "Long time no see." Robin smiles as Skylar come in. "I was gonna talk to you at the game but..." Skylar glances over at Steve working. "I get it." Robin looks over at him. "So did you at least talk to Vicki?" Skylar grabs her arm. "Yeah, I saw you two talk for a little bit." Steve walks over to them. "She heard me say Tammy does sounds like a Muppet then she laughed. And it wasn't a like a cheap, fake laugh either. It was like... It was a real, genuine laugh." Robin tells them as they put up movies. "Of course. It's my Muppet joke. It's hilarious." Steve says making Skylar roll her eyes. "My point is Vicki laughed and everything was just like... it was perfect."

"But?" They both ask her. "But I'm having this problem where it's like, I should stop talking. I have said everything I need to say. But then I guess I get nervous, and the words keep spilling out, and it's like my... my brain is moving faster than my mouth, or... or rather my... my mouth is moving faster than my brain. I'm digging this hole for myself, and I want to stop digging, I'm trying to stop, but I can't. And I'm doing it right now, aren't I?" Robin rants so Steve and Skylar stop to stare at her. "Yeah, you are." They tell her. "I'm hopeless." Robin leans against the wall as Skylar goes to the other side of the store to put movies away while Steve joins Robin, "Eh. We both are." He watches Skylar work.

"If only we could just, like, combine." Robin looks at him. "Combine?" He asks confused. "No, think about it. I know exactly what I want, and I've found the girl of my dreams, but I can't get the courage to ask her out. Meanwhile, you go on a million dates. And you have no idea what you want. Well you do but you don't know how to get it back..." Robin explains to him and he agrees. "So if we just combined, all our problems would be solved. Because, I mean, alone, let's face it..." She says. "We totally suck." He agrees. "Totally and utterly. Ooh, I think I found our morning movie." Robin leaves him.

"Doctor Zhivago." Robin grabs the movie. "You know Steve doesn't do double VHS." Skylar rejoins the two. "But it's about doomed love." She tells them and under their breath they say it's relatable. "Precisely." Robin hears both of them. "Also, Julie Christie is b-b-bonkers hot in this. Like, seriously, the most beautiful creature. I have ever seen in my life." Robin turns on the tv. "We're in the Forest Hills trailer park in east Roane County." Skylar's head snap towards the tv. "We don't have a lot of details now, but we can confirm that the body of a Hawkins High student was discovered early this morning. Police have not released the name although we are told they're currently in the process of notifying the family." The reporter says.

"You okay?" Robin sees me messing with my fingers. "No... I'm worried because I know that trailer." I fidget with my fingers more and slightly pace as we continue to watch the news while we work. Some time later in the day Dustin and Max rush in. "How many phones do you have?" Dustin asks us. "Someone was murdered." Steve tells him. "How many phones do you have?" Dustin asks more annoyed. "Two. Why?" Steve asks. "Technically three, if you count Keith's." I add. "Yeah, three works." Max tells Dustin. "What are you doing?" Steve asks as Dustin takes his bag off and pushes it across the counter then crawls over. Robin and Steve complain while I watch Dustin get on the computer. "What are you doing, man?" Steve asks annoyed.

"Setting up base of operations here." Dustin tells him. "Base of operations?" Robin repeats as Max joins us behind the counter. "Get off." Steve tells Dustin. "I need it." He tells him. "Need it for what?" Steve asks. "Looking up Eddie's friends' phone numbers." Dustin says making me now worry again. "Oh Eddie. Your new best friend you think is cooler because he plays your nerdy game?" Steve rants making me look at him. "Ed, yes. I never said that." Dustin looks at him too. "Seriously, you guys, maybe on a Monday you can play around like toddlers, but it's Saturday. It's our busiest day." Robin cleans up.

"Robin, I empathize, but this cannot wait until Monday." Dustin starts to write down numbers. "Calling Eddie's friends is an emergency?" She gets sassy. "Correct!" Dustin tells. "Can one of you tell me what's going on with Eddie?!" I shout at them wanting to know. "Max?" I look at her and she sighs before telling everything that happened last night and this morning. "Do you have any clue where he could be? You two are always hanging out late." Dustin looks at me. "The only places we hangout are at The Hideout, Arcade, where the band practices, but mostly his place." I tell them. "I'll go get Keith's phone." I leave them.

Dustin, Max, and Robin call all of Eddie's friends while Steve and I attend to customers. As he helps a chick he tries to flirt but when she brings up her boyfriend I can't help but laugh some. "You're telling me out of the millions dates you go on... not one girl you can have a decent relationship with?" I ask as he comes back after walking the girl to the door. "What about you, huh? You and Eddie?" He messes with movies. "We're friends." I tell him. "I've heard that before." He says making me glare at him so I walk away from him.

"Sky, do you know Reefer Rick? Where he lives? Last name?" Dustin asks as I join them. "Sorta, no, and no." I tell them. "Bet the cops know the last name." Steve speaks up. "What?" Max asks. "Cops. I mean, listen, if this Reefer Rick is actually a drug dealer, I guarantee you he's been busted at some point. Means he's in the system." Steve explains to us. "The cops? Really, Steve? That's your suggestion?" Dustin stands up. "I think they should be filled in on what we know, what's going on." He says kinda pissing me off. "You think Eddie's guilty, don't you?" I cross my arms. "Whoa. I believe in innocent until proven guilty, all that constitutional shit. I just, you know, don't think we can rule it out."

"That's precisely what we're trying to do here, Steve." Max says making Dustin agree, "And maybe we'd have a little bit more luck if you spent less time trying to find a girlfriend and more time trying to find Eddie." Dustin raises his voice. "Somebody has to attend to the customers." Steve tells him. "Especially if they're babes, right?" Robin gives him a look making him rant and I get an idea as he talks. "What are you doing?" Max asks as I get on the computer. "We don't need a last name. Look, twelve Ricks have accounts here." I show all the Ricks in our system. "That's a lot of Ricks." Max looks at it with everyone gathering around. "Let's just narrow it down." I go through the list till we find one where the movies give him away. "2121 Holland Road. Out by Lover Lake, in the middle of nowhere. Sounds like the perfect place to hide." I look back at them so we close up and all get into Steve's car.

By the time we get to Ricks house it was dark out. "Dustin, really?" I ask as he keeps ringing the door bell. "Okay. Well, that's settled. I guess it he's not here." Steve says so I look at him. "You're really getting on my nerves." I say making him look at me hurt. "Eddie! It's Dustin! Look, we just wanna talk, okay?" Dustin keeps shouting as I walk around. "Guys..." I see the boat house. "Maybe he's hiding in there?" I suggest and walk towards it first. We carefully walk around it then go inside. "Hello? Eddie? It's just us... there's no cops with us." We look around. "What are you doing?" Dustin asks as Steve uses an oar hitting the tarp. "What are you doing?" Dustin asks again. "He might be in here." Steve tells him. "So take the tarp off." I whisper yell at him making Dustin agree. "If you're so brave, you take the tarp off. And what scared I'm gonna hurt your boyfriend?" He says making Dustin glare at him with me. "They're friends!" Dustin whispers yells at him. "You're so jealous of Eddie it's ridiculous." I say making him laugh.

"Maybe he heard us. Got spooked and ran." Robin like at what Max found. "Don't worry. Steve will get him with his oar." Dustin gets sassy. "I know you think you're being funny Henderson, but considering everyone in this room has nearly died a hundred times, personally, I don't find it funny in the slight-," Steve gets cut off by Eddie popping out from under the tarp shoving him up against the wall holding a broken bottle to Steve's throat. "Eddie! Eddie! Stop!" Dustin and I yell at him. "Eddie! Eddie! It's me and Dustin. This is Steve. He's not going to hurt you, right, Steve?" I try to calm him down. "Right. Yeah." Steve tells him. "Steve, why don't you drop yen oar?" I tell him so he does but Eddie doesn't stop. "He's cool. He's cool." Dustin speaks up. "What are you doing here?" Eddie asks. "We're looking for you." Dustin tells him. "We're here to help." Robin adds.

"Eddie, these are our friends. You know Robin, from band. You know Max, she lives across from you. Of course you know Steve, he broke my heart. And you know Dustin." I slightly laugh. "We're on your side." Dustin tells him. "I swear on my mother. Right guys?" Dustin says so we all swear on our mom. Eddie lets go of Steve and slowly sits down out of it so when I past Steve I rub his arm going over to Eddie. "Eddie... We just want to talk." I bend down in front of him reaching for the broken bottle but he moves it from me. "Okay." I say as Robin comes over. "We want to know what happened." She tells him. "You won't believe me." He sniffs. "Try us." Max tells him so he starts from the beginning as we stand around him. "Her body just, like, lifted up into the air and, uh... And she just, like, hung there. In the air. And her bones... Uh, she... Her bones started to snap. Her eyes man. It... it was like there was something, like, inside her head, pulling. I... I didn't know what to do, so I... I ran away. I left her there. You all think I'm crazy, right?" Eddie scoffs.

"No. We don't think you're crazy." Dustin tells him. "Don't bullshit me, man! I know how this sounds." Eddie shouts. "We're not bullshiting you." Max tells him. "We believe you." Robin lets him know. "Look, what I'm about to tell you might be a little... difficult to take. You know how or say Hawkins is... cursed?" Dustin starts. "They're not way off. There's another world. A world hidden beneath Hawkins. Sometimes it bleeds into ours." I try explaining to him. "Like ghost and shit?" Eddie asks. "There are some things worse than ghost." Max adds. "These monsters from this other world... we thought they were gone. But they've come back before. That's why we needed to find you." Dustin tells him. "If they're back again, we need to know." Max tells him. "That night did you see anything?" Robin asks. "Dark particles, maybe? It would almost look like dust swirling around." I ask him and he shakes his head no.

"No, there was nothing you could see or, uh... or touch. You know, I tried to wake her, man. She couldn't move. It was like she... she was in a trance or something." Eddie explains to the five of us. "Or under a spell." Dustin speaks up. "A curse." Eddie looks at him. "Vecna's curse." I add and they look at me. "Who's Vecna?" Steve asks. "An undead creature of great power." Dustin says. "A spell caster." Eddie adds. "A dark wizard." I add too.

🔥 Dangerous Game 🔥

Chapter 21

Amaya POV

“Ok Nick, I got it.Don't stress yourself too much, at your age it's not good for you” I answer seriously while Natasha next to me chuckles amused.

"Have I to laugh?" Fury replies, his voice sounds bored in my ears.

“I would say yes.You know I'm an extremely funny person, my jokes are always quite successful among my friends"

"Oh, do you have friends?" he retorts, making me laugh.

"Do you see?You got this humor from me” I chuckle.

“Seriously Snow be careful with those two and when you're in Washington I want you, Natasha and Steve in my office.Agree?"

"Roger"

So saying I hang up.

"It's all right?" Steve asks as he approaches followed by Bucky.

Both are majestically beautiful.

Steve is wearing a jeans and a simple white t-shirt while Bucky is in total black as usual.

Sexy as hell.

“Yep!Fury reminds us to be careful and once in Washington he wants to see us in his office” I tell him, pointing first to me and then to him and his wife.

"Did he tell you why?" asks Nat curiously.

I shake my head in response.

Mine is a lie, I already know what Fury wants to talk to us about but I really don't think it's my duty to tell them.

The old Nick plans to retire as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and he offered me to replace him.

And although I'm flattered by it, I can't accept it, I don't think I'm the most suitable person.

But someone else is…and I proposed Steve's name.

I really hope he accepts.

"Hey Snow" calls a voice behind me, waking me from my thoughts.

I turn around smiling.

“I didn't know you were part of the mission too” I tell Sam as he approaches us.

Once at my side he wraps my shoulders with his arm and then gives me a kiss on the top of my head obviously getting a disapproving look from Bucky.

"Hey man, don't look at me like that" Sam teases, tightening his grip around me.

I roll my eyes.

Here we go again.

"Anyway, to answer your question Snow, I didn't know anything either but since I got rid of my commitment with Stark earlier than expected, Fury asked me to help you" Sam resumes.

"Excellent" I reply, giving him a smile and then freeing myself from his embrace, I go to one of the guards who is in front of the RAFT entrance door.

“How long does it take for the inmates to be ready?We have to be in Washington in a few hours” I ask quite impatiently.

We have been here for almost half an hour now but not even the shadow of those two idiots.

“They're almost ready Agent Snow.An agent of the S.H.I.E.L.D. is making a final check on the security protocol.They'll be out in a few minutes”

For a moment I remain speechless from the words of the guard.

"Sorry?How did you say?An agent of the S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

The guard looks at me confused.

I turn around looking for Steve.

"Steve please can you join me?"

I scream in his direction and in less than a second he is already by my side.

"What happens?" he asks me making his eyes bounce between me and the guard.

"You and I are still in charge of this mission, aren't we?"

Steve nods in confusion.

"So why have I just been informed by a guard that in there, along with the two inmates, there is an agent of the S.H.I.E.L.D. that is supervising?"

Steve looks at me again, in his eyes there is the same confusion present in mine.

The guard moves uncomfortably under Steve's serious gaze.

"I received direct orders from Director Fury to have Agent Scott enter the RAFT to pick up the prisoners" he stammers anxiously.

Steve jerks his head in my direction.

"What?!?!?" I ask with perhaps a little too much aggression because the guard takes a step back.

Now this poor man seems to be more scared of me than he was a moment before by the famous Captain America, in fact, pretending indifference, he takes a step to the side positioning himself a little closer to Steve.

Away from my wrath.

The guard seems to want to give an explanation but in the meantime the large armored doors of the prison open.

Lucas Scott comes out of them, looking more beautiful than ever, his blond hair shines in the intense light of this morning at the end of August.

And even if the heat is stifling enough to stick your clothes on you, him in his haute couture suit and perfectly knotted tie looks like a model straight out of a fashion catalog.

Damn Fury!

He wills pay for this.

Lucas approaches with sure-footed and obviously he is not at all surprised by our presence.

Behind him are at least a dozen gunmen, each carrying an AK-47, all meticulously aimed at the two handcuffed men.

Pierce and Rumlow.

Rumlow's eyes are immediately on me, he gives me a slimy smile that makes me shiver despite the scorching sun beating down on my skin.

“Captain Rogers.Agent Snow.My men and I are ready to get on your jets”

Lucas speaks coldly, right now for him we are just people he has to work with.

He refers to us as if we were soldiers, mere subordinates.

Obviously I didn't expect him to jump for joy seeing me again but I don't understand why he has to behave so coldly even with Steve, he has always respected and treated him as a friend.

I feel the anger cloud my brain, the blood is pumping furiously into my heart.

Between Fury's lies and Lucas' behavior I feel like I've been outclassed, like I have no authority.

“I don't know what you think Agent Scott but Captain Rogers and I are in charge of this mission.Here you don't give orders, you just have to follow them"

I speak abruptly, spitting the words between my teeth.

And if so far he had done everything to avoid my gaze now Lucas is forced to look at me, his gaze runs all over my figure as if he were studying me.

"Do you have something to say?" I ask, taking a step closer to him.

"Fury..." he begins but I cut him off immediately.

“I don't give a shit what Fury might have told you.I am in charge, me and this man by my side.Your little part ends here.Now tell your men to get on the jets.Move"

Lucas looks me intently in the eyes and without showing the slightest emotion he just murmurs "Yes ma'am" and with a nod invites his men to escort the two prisoners on the jets.

Steve who hasn't breathed a breath since Lucas appeared through those doors approaches me until he is by my side.

"Are you okay Amaya?" he asks me in a gentle voice.

His big hand just squeezes my shoulder.

I lower my head looking at my feet and run my hands through my hair, snorting loudly.

“What the hell does Fury think doing?Why didn't he tell us anything?" I ask, looking up at my friend.

"Maybe because he feared your reaction?" he tries to make me think.

"Yes, ok but what is the need?Are we five not enough?Do you think we can't handle these two assholes?" I ask as I watch the blonde next to me direct his gaze behind him, distracted by something.

I fearfully follow the trajectory of his gaze, already knowing what I will find.

Bucky keeps his hands clenched in fists, his glacial gaze is turned towards the shoulders of Lucas who is barking orders to his men.

Sam talks to him calmly, surely he will be trying to make him think and stop him from punching what he insists on calling a rival.

Sam gets even closer to him by placing a hand on his shoulder, he's really working hard to keep him at bay.

Of this I'm sure but obviously Bucky is stubborn and conceited and that scares me.

Too much.

Bucky runs a hand through his hair shaking his head at Sam's words and as soon as his eyes perceive mine, planted on his figure, he gives me a bitter smile.

I pinch the base of my nose between two fingers.

“Oh my fucking God!Please tell me it's a nightmare” I murmur, looking away from this absurd pantomime and plunging my face into my hands.

"A day.I would like to live just one fucking day without any fucking drama" I exclaim exasperated.

Steve chuckles in amusement.

"I don't find anything funny in it Captain" I mumble wearily.

"Stay calm.If you want, I'll talk to Bucky” Steve reassures me.

"No way!Don't try!We are not five, we are adults and we are working.Bucky must learn to trust me, my love.We can't go on like this" I answer, turning my back on him and walking already exhausted towards the jets.

This is going to be a really bad day.

Shit!

I move further and further away from Steve and pretending a certainty that does not belong to me at the moment I reach out to the rest of my team.

“Natasha, if that's okay with you, could you fly the jet that will host Pierce?Could you Steve instead pilot the other?" I ask.

They both nod.

"Thank you.I feel safer to make them travel separate.I know they can't do anything but I prefer those two to stay as far away as possible” I add.

Sam nods and then asks me “What about us?How do we divide?"

"I'm going with Steve" I exclaim confidently.

I'm not going to let Rumlow fly without me for even a minute.

Sam nods and then looks at Bucky.

"This means that I will go with Romanoff" Sam muses aloud as he stands alongside the former Russian spy.

Bucky watches me and without saying a word passes me and gets on the jet that will carry Rumlow.

Obviously.

I sigh shaking my head and followed by Steve I head for the jet.

Fortunately Lucas decides not to follow us and out of the corner of my eye I see him as he greets Natasha with a nod and gets on the jet with her.

Steve waits for everyone to take their seats to start the engines and take off.

Rumlow is sitting right in front of me, flanked by two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and both his wrists and his ankles are constrained in large steel chains.

His slimy gaze continues to be planted on me but I'm not intimidated.

I return his gaze without fear.

Bucky at my side is as tense as a violin string but I honestly don't know what to attribute the stiffness of his posture to, if he's nervous about our closeness to Rumlow or seeing Lucas again.

I feel like an epic headache is about to explode.

And the deafening silence that reigns inside the jet's cockpit doesn't help.

I let my gaze wander for a moment observing the other four men armed to the teeth who stand behind the prisoner.

Then I turn my attention back to Rumlow.

I smile bitterly.

"What are you thinking Snow?" he asks me with his strong New York accent.

"Shut up!" exclaims the guard beside him hitting him with the butt of the rifle straight in the stomach.

Rumlow groans as he bends his torso slightly forward.

"Stop it" I bark at the agent who looks at me as if I were crazy.

I return my gaze to Rumlow and smile at him almost amused.

Bucky by my side is tense more than ever but he doesn't dare intervene, his lips are closed in a straight line.

"I was thinking that I made a big mistake when we were in that old abandoned warehouse" I reply and we remain to carefully observe each other.

"I should have put a bullet in your head when I had the opportunity" I add calmly as if we were talking about sports or the weather and not taking the life of another human being.

"You see it?You're not that different from me honey.You are and will always be a murderer" he replies.

I know what he is doing.

He wants to make me nervous but his words have no effect on me.

I know who I am.

I laugh in response and his gaze hesitates for a moment, unable to decipher my reaction.

"If I was like you you wouldn't be here Brock" I answer and then get up and walk towards Steve.

"How soon will we land Rogers?" I ask, stopping behind him and placing a hand on the back of his seat.

“We'll be in Washington in 10 minutes” he replies.

I nod and then take a seat next to him.

Steve turns to me.

"How is the situation behind?" asks slightly worried the Captain.

“Rumlow is the usual idiot.No a big deal” I murmur crossing my arms over my chest and sinking into the leather seat that creaks under my weight.

Steve nods but his gaze remains tense.

His perfect jaw is tense, his eyes as blue as the ocean stir a thousand worries.

I know perfectly well what worries him.

“Steve I asked you to escort Rumlow with me to prevent Natasha from staying with him.Pierce is incapable.He is harmless.Rumlow only needed his financial backing.Nat is safe”

Steve nods and then sighs.

"I know it.I understand your choice and accept it.Although the most selfish part of me would have liked to fly with her” he admits with a chuckle and scratches at the back of his neck.

As if his worries were a stupid thought…but it isn't.

I understand him.

If only I had any chance that Bucky ever agreed to fly with Natasha I would, I would have pushed him to go with her.

I hate that he and Rumlow are so close.

They are two hotheads and nothing good could ever come from their proximity.

"Here we go" Steve exclaims after a few minutes of flight catching my attention again.

I look in front of me where a long landing strip opens up where the two vans that will take us to the courthouse in Washington are already waiting for us.

We land gently, Steve as always is a great pilot, and after a few moments we are all together again.

Steve immediately joins his wife, whispering something in her ear.

Natasha smiles softly and nods in response.

Bucky remained on the sidelines and his cold and icy gaze is divided between the prisoners and Agent Scott.

Sam approaches me smiling.

"What a mess, huh?" he chuckles giving me a shove.

I roll my eyes in response.

Then I turn to my friend who suddenly got serious.

“I had to hold him back earlier.Literally.That man has serious self-control issues" Sam murmurs, indicating Bucky with a nod of his head.

“For a moment I was afraid he was going to punch Lucas” he adds.

"Do you think I don't know?" I reply angrily.

Sam raises his hands in defense.

“Woah calm down!I don't mean it's your fault”

He tries to apologize but I stop him immediately with a wave of my hand.

"I know it.Sorry.It's just that this situation makes me nervous.I just want to finish fast and go back to New York”

Sam smiles and kisses my forehead.

"It's going to be okay Snow" Sam murmurs softly as I rest my head on his chest.

The strong, steady beating of his heart helps me relax.

"The vans are ready" Steve exclaims.

I raise my head and find him beside me.

I didn't even hear him coming.

"Okay" I exclaim as I approach the vehicles with my friends.

"Steve you go with Natasha" I tell him smiling.

"Are you sure?" he asks me seriously.

I smile again, nodding in response.

“You two and Wilson can escort Pierce.Bucky and I will take care of Rumlow” I say turning to Bucky and smiling at him briefly.

I am tired and at this moment I would like only support and comfort from my man.

We both stand still and watch our friends go away.

I cross my arms across my chest, carefully observing every move of every single person present.

Pierce gets into the van, his gestures slowed by the chains surrounding his ankles.

Right after he is followed by two agents and then it's Natasha's turn, Sam and Steve go up last.

I frown in confusion.

One man is missing.

I point my gaze to the other van just in time to see Lucas, together with two agents, escort Rumlow inside the van but without coming out of it.

Great.

I shift my gaze to Bucky and find him observing the same scene I just witnessed.

"James?" I whisper.

His hard, icy gaze moves immediately to my face.

I observe for a moment his beautiful features.

The perfect jaw, the long hair pulled back into a messy bun that touches his neck.

Some rebellious tufts brush his cheek.

It's nice to hurt and as always I feel butterflies stirring in my stomach.

I really love this man too much.

"Do you love me?" I ask him in a choked voice.

His eyes after a moment of confusion soften.

Anger and tension disappear, leaving room only for an infinite sweetness.

His big hands wrap around my face, his thumbs gently caress my cheekbones and then I see his face drop towards mine.

I close my eyes waiting for that sweet contact that today I have missed more than ever.

My hands go up his chest until they cling to his tags.

And just as I imagined a moment later his lips are on mine.

A light kiss, full of love.

He kisses me a couple more times, always kindly.

Then he walks away from me and my eyes slowly reopen.

"I love you more than anything else in the world, my little robin" he replies, smiling with so much love that I feel my legs trembling.

“Don't think I'm angry with you Amaya...it's just that I'd rather you weren't here” Bucky admits with a sigh.

I laugh staying close in his embrace.

"I bet you're more worried about the man without handcuffs" I tease him.

His laughter reverberates through my ear resting on his broad chest.

"More or less" he replies laughing.

We break away from our embrace and holding hand we walk towards the van.

A man is holding the hatch open for us.

Once on board, the driver immediately starts the engine.

For the first few minutes an awkward silence envelops us.

Embarrassing only for some of us because Rumlow is smiling radiantly, he looks like a child anxiously awaiting Christmas morning.

"This trip will be less boring than I could have imagined" he chuckles amused getting a death stare from every person present.

We travel in silence for about ten minutes until Rumlow's voice sounds amused inside the cockpit.

"Did you really leave a good man like Lucas for someone like Bucky?" he asks, giggling amused.

“I mean Lucas is a perfect agent, a sweet and good guy.How could you have preferred your parents' killer to him?I really don't explain it” he adds, pretending to be confused.

The agent to his right quickly pulls out a truncheon to silence him but I block him with a wave of my hand, I really want to see where he wants to go.

Bucky moves nervously by my side, I try to calm him by placing my hand on his thigh, squeezing hard.

Lucas' eyes do not miss even a moment of my every movement.

And our gazes, in a completely instinctive motion, meet and intertwine.

All this under the smug gaze of Rumlow.

I remain silent, trying to curb my impulse to punch Rumlow until that hateful smile disappears.

“Is it about sex?Does Sergeant Barnes fuck you better?" he insists.

Bucky grinds his teeth and I tighten my grip on his thigh trying to make him understand not to give weight to his words.

I am so focused on my boyfriend that I am not aware of Lucas' reaction in the least.

It is as if everything happens in slow motion but despite this I still could not stop it.

His gaze always so kind are contracted with anger, his right hand is tight around Rumlow's neck while with his other he takes the gun from its holster and points it straight at the center of his forehead.

The guards next to the prisoner watch the whole scene with their mouths open, also incredulous at the violence with which Agent Scott is reacting.

Rumlow continues to smile as if he enjoys his reaction.

"What is it...did I hit on the key to the whole thing?" he mumbles as Lucas's hand tightens even more his grip around his neck.

I get up quickly throwing myself between the two men.

"Lucas?Lucas listen to me!He's not worth it, believe me”

I try to make him think by trying to catch his eye.

I place both hands on his chest with light pressure and Lucas suddenly seems to recover.

He blinks quickly focusing on the man in front of him, then turns in my direction and as soon as he notices our proximity he walks away as if burned.

"Don't touch me" he hisses, violently pushing my hands away from his chest.

I involuntarily whimper in pain from the thrust and that's enough for Bucky's ears as he stands up and approaches hard-nosed in front of Lucas.

"Touch her again and I'll break your neck" he murmurs between his teeth.

The two men are chest to chest and I'm sure if I don't separate them it won't end well.

I grab Bucky by the hand and pull him back but he looks like he is pinned in place.

"James?Nothing happened, he didn't do anything to me” I whisper.

Lucas and Bucky continue to challenge each other with their eyes as Brock throws his head back laughing.

“God this is better than I ever imagined” he chuckles.

I drop his words and focus on Bucky again.

"Babe c'mon, let's sit down" I pull him back to me and he lets himself be dragged back onto the seat.

After making sure he has calmed down sufficiently I sit next to him, Lucas sits in front of us turning back to Rumlow.

"Another word.Just another word" threatens him but the man in handcuffs doesn't care in the least, his attention is back on me.

We remain to observe each other and despite the surreal situation that has arisen I have only one question that buzzes non-stop in my head.

“I have a question for you.Why did you do that?" I ask straight away.

Lucas and Bucky whirl in my direction, neither of them expecting me to interact with Rumlow.

And seeing his expression not even him expected it.

"What do you mean redhead?" he asks me intrigued by my curiosity.

"Why did you do that.You had everything.Respect, access to confidential files, a great salary.You could have had a brilliant career.But you chose to be on the side of the bad guys.Why?"

"Who says we're the bad guys Snow?"

I smile.

"Answer a question with another question.Coward” I spit through my teeth.

Rumlow stiffens.

“I'm not a coward.You are.You are so afraid of your own government that you don't dare to rebel.We had courage instead”

I have the point.

“This I grant you.It takes courage to have your men slaughtered.Men who trusted you.Men who followed and obeyed you for how long?Six years?"

"Eight" Rumlow interrupts me.

I smile.

"Eight years.Eight years and you sacrificed them as if they were meat for slaughter.On your conscience you have dead, widows, orphans, parents and friends who cry for them...how can you live in such peace with yourself?" I ask sincerely curious to know how the mind of a madman works.

“They are collateral damage.It's all for a just cause, for a greater good” he replies with a fiery gaze.

"Collateral damages?Superior good?Jesus Christ Rumlow are you serious?I'll tell you one last thing" I murmur staring him straight in the eye.

“If it had been up to me I wouldn't have granted you any trial, you don't deserve it.You don't deserve to live and if only I had nothing to lose I would have already killed you with my own hands.You will pay for every single life you have taken from this world and I promise you that I will do anything in my power to make every single day of your life be a fucking hell”

Bucky grabs my hand intertwining our fingers, I know he's trying to comfort me and calm me down.

I reciprocate the squeeze.

Rumlow no longer speaks and the entire journey continues quietly to the courthouse.

Once on the spot, Steve and I make sure that everything goes ok, together with the armed guards we escort both prisoners to the courtroom where the trial will take place and once we are sure that everything goes ok we head to the Triskelion.

We are about to get into the van that will take us to Fury when I notice a person out of the corner of my eye.

"I'll be right back" I say to my friends, walking away quickly.

"Where are you going?" Bucky yells behind me but I'm already too far away to answer, too far away and too focused on my goal.

Stopped in front of the entrance to the court is Lucas who is talking to some men.

"Lucas?Do you have a minute?" I ask him staying a few steps away.

He turns his gaze towards me, he seems tempted to ignore me but after a few moments he apologizes to his interlocutors and joins me.

“Sorry gentlemen.I'll join you in a minute”

I hear him murmur.

When I find him in front of me, I feel as if I have lost word, I just observe him without knowing what to say.

"Do you need something Snow?" he asks me coldly bringing me back to reality abruptly.

"I...I..." I stammer.

Lucas snorts impatiently.

"I have no time to lose.I have work to do” he exclaims, turning his back on me and walking away.

“I'm sorry” I yell behind him pinning him in place.

"I'm sorry" I repeat, moving a few steps closer.

Lucas keeps his back to me.

“I didn't want you to suffer.I was wrong and I regret it every single day.You were close to me and I broke your heart...but I swear it was not my intention!I didn't want to” I whisper in pain, feeling all the weight of my guilt fall on my heart.

“I know my apologies are useless but I've always cared so much for you…I care so much for you.Hurt you was the last of my intentions" I add, lowering my head and with hunched shoulders I turn to go back to my friends.

"I'm sorry too" Lucas whispers behind me.

I turn slowly in disbelief at the words that have just left his lips.

"You have nothing to apologize for Lucas"

"It's no true" he interrupts me.

“I was aware of your real feelings Amaya but I ignored them, I wallowed in a lie hoping you might change your mind about me someday.I was presumptuous and took my frustration out on you.I blamed you without you having a fault, taking it out on you was easier than facing reality.I wouldn't blame you if you hated me”

I look at his eyes, so clear and sincere.

“That's ok Lucas.I don't hate you, I could never do that”

I smile at him trying to make him understand how sincere I am.

For a moment we remain closed in an embarrassed silence but then Lucas smiles at me and holds out his hand.

"Friends?"

"Friends?" I answer uncertain.

"Just friends, I swear" he adds with a laugh.

I laugh too, grabbing his hand and squeezing it.

"Friends" I repeat pulling him towards me and hugging him.

"I'm sorry" I repeat with my face sunk into his chest.

His expensive cologne tickles my nostrils.

"I'm sorry too Snow"

We part smiling and Lucas's gaze goes to the van behind us.

I follow his gaze with a sigh.

"Are you going to have problems because of me?" Lucas asks me looking into my eyes.

My gaze remains fixed on Bucky who is watching me with a death stare.

I shake my head returning my attention to the man in front of me.

“Bucky still has some trouble trusting people.Including me” I say shrugging.

Lucas lifts a corner of his lips.

“I hope you will forgive me but Barnes is an idiot.The ways you have shown him that you love him are countless and even of some importance and yet he continues to do so.Instead of him I wouldn't be so pissed off”

I laugh.

“Yeah, he's often an idiot but...he's my idiot” I admit.

Lucas laughs with me.

"Ok, now I have to go before he decides to come here" I say holding out my hand to Lucas again, he grabs it and squeezes it tightly.

“Yeah, I think it wouldn't be great if we got into a fight now”

“I guess” I reply laughing.

We say goodbye one last time and aware that now Bucky's anger would await me, I return to the van.

Bucky waits for me with his arms crossed outside the vehicle, I walk past him without saying anything.

A moment before being able to step on the van his hand in Vibranium tightens around my wrist.

"So?" he asks furiously.

I jerk my wrist out of his grip but to no avail, his fingers are locked around my wrist.

"So what?" I ask angrily.

Bucky's gaze tapers.

"What did you say to each other?"

I look at him in shock.

“I don't think I have to tell you what we said to each other.I needed to talk to him.To apologize to him.He is a very important person to me”

A flash of pain passes through his eyes.

I know how insecure he is but I don't want to lie to him.

We promised never to do it again.

“No more lies, remember?Lucas was important to me and he always will be, he's a good friend but nothing more.And I can't help it if you can't accept it.If you find it hard to believe.That's it”

Bucky lets go of my wrist like he's just burned.

"You don't owe him any apologies" he mutters grumpily looking everywhere but not in my eyes.

I laugh at his statement, catching his crystalline gaze again.

"Don't be ridiculous.I dumped him immediately after having sex with him.I ditched him for the man I told him several times not to worry about.Apologies are the bare minimum.Now if you're done being a capricious child, I have work waiting for me”

So saying I turn my back as I get into the van and sit next to Sam.

My friends watch me without knowing what to say, in their eyes I can clearly see their pain for me.

Obviously they have heard everything and the tense air that has been created makes them uncomfortable too.

"I'm sorry guys" I whisper a moment before Bucky goes up and sits next to Steve.

Away from me.

Perfect.

I lean my head against the side of the van, closing my eyes.

I almost regret not being Agent Zero anymore.

Bucky POV

We arrive at the Triskelion in less than fifteen minutes.

Amaya kept her eyes closed the whole trip.

I know she is not sleeping, she is simply avoiding any eye contact with me.

Once we get out of the van, we head inside the large building.

Amaya greets many people by giving them only a slight nod, so do Steve and Natasha.

They are practically at home here in Washington.

Sam greets us by telling us that he would go up to the accounting floor to say hello to an old friend.

And I honestly don't know what to do, I don't know anyone here in DC so I just follow my friends with my head down.

I think about what happened before and obviously I feel terribly guilty, I feel guilty for treating Amaya that way.

It's just that I just can't accept that she and Lucas can resume having a relationship, even if it's just a friendship...and all this because I'm fucking jealous.

We keep walking until we reach the elevator.

"Amaya!" exclaims a girl approaching us.

Amaya smiles at her and the two women embrace.

"Hi Dana" she smiles at her amiably.

The girl smiles back and then turns to Steve.

“Captain Rogers, Natasha.I would like to congratulate you on your recent wedding.You are really a wonderful couple” the girl squeaks visibly excited to be able to speak to two people of the caliber of Steve and Nat.

"Thank you.You are very kind” Steve replies as Natasha smiles at her.

Dana turns back to Amaya and her gaze rests on me for a moment.

"Hi" I greet her politely.

"Dana he is..." Amaya hesitates uncertainly as if she doesn't know how to introduce me.

"This is Sergeant Barnes" she mutters at the end.

Sergeant Barnes.

Can't she even present me as her boyfriend?

If she had punched me in the nose it would have hurt less.

“Nice to meet you Sergeant.I am Dana"

"My pleasure" I reply leaning forward and grabbing the hand she is holding out to me.

Then the elevator doors open and we all go inside.

“Dana how are you?How is Michael?" Amaya asks gently.

"We're fine.Two weeks ago we moved in together” the woman replies visibly excited.

"That's great" Amaya exclaims in response.

The two women exchange smiles and the elevator doors open again.

We have arrived at our destination.

Dana reaches the desk located in front of Fury's office door.

Now I understand .

She must surely be his secretary.

She fumbles at the PC for a few minutes and then grabs the phone by typing a couple of numbers.

"Director?Agent Snow is here" she exclaims confidently.

"Ok" she murmurs after a moment putting down the phone.

“The director will see you shortly.You can take a seat here.Can I bring you something while you wait?Coffee, water?" asks Dana politely.

We all refuse and she walks away devoting herself to her work.

The four of us sit in silence until Nat stands up.

"Where are you going babe?" Steve asks.

"I've changed my mind and I'd like a coffee, can you come with me?" she asks him.

I know what she is doing, she wants to leave us alone.

I thank her with my gaze and she gives me a short smile.

Amaya for her part doesn't seem so keen to be alone with me.

Once we are alone I get up from my chair to go and sit next to her.

Amaya moves uncomfortably in place but she doesn't move away, she just stays silent.

"I was an idiot, I'm sorry"

"You know what's the thing that hurts me the most Bucky?" she asks me without even looking into my eyes, completely ignoring my apologies.

“That despite everything we have been through, although I have forgiven you, although I have shown you both with deeds and with words how much I love you, you are always convinced that I can cheat on you with Lucas.Do you really have so little respect for my feelings for you?"

I start at her words and with confused look I turn completely towards her.

"I don't think that" I tell her sincerely.

It's true that I tend to freak out seeing her with him but I honestly never thought she would ever cheat on me.

I'm just jealous of him.

Simple and stupid.

I know that she loves me but I also know how much Lucas loved her and God only knows that he is not in love with her even now.

“So why are you acting like a fucking kid?Listen to me James, I love you but if we have to go on like this I don't think it will work between us” Amaya whispers looking down at her hands.

She tortures her fingers nervously and her poor lower lip is repeatedly battered by her teeth.

Her pain shines through in her every gesture, in her every breath.

And I...I feel my heart shattering, a heart that in recent times had started beating just for her.

My little, sweet and fragile robin.

"Are you serious?" I ask in a choked voice and she nods unable to speak.

I feel a lump tighten my throat.

"Amaya I..."

I am about to answer her but the door of director Fury's office opens.

I forget what I was going to tell her.

"I'll wait here" I just mutter aware that Fury has specifically requested the presence of Amaya, Steve and Natasha.

Amaya gets up going straight into the arms of the man in front of her, they exchange a short hug and then enters his office without ever looking back.

Meanwhile, the Rogers also arrive and the two are preparing to quickly enter the office.

As soon as the door closes behind the director I get up and start walking back and forth under the watchful eye of Dana.

"Can I get you something Sergeant?" she asks me with a friendly smile.

Her blonde hair falls in soft waves on her shoulders and her eyes as blue as the sea stare at me intently.

“No thanks” I reply as I approach her desk.

She interrupts what she is doing by looking at me curiously.

"Is there anything else I can do?" she asks me while remaining polite and professional.

I shake my head while standing in front of her workstation.

Established that I do not want anything, she brings her attention back to her PC keyboard and gets back to work.

"How long have you and Amaya known each other?" I ask on impulse, regretting it almost immediately.

Why the hell did I ask her?

Now she will think that in addition to being strange I am also a meddler.

Dana smiles.

"I've been working for Fury for five years, so we've known each other for a while" she replies.

She then crosses her hands under her thin chin and leans forward.

"You're still together, right?" she asks, taking me by surprise.

"Yeah...we had some problems but now we're together again"

Dana smiles and then returns with another question.

"So is it all true?"

"What would be true?" I ask not following the thread of her speech.

"That you ran away together on the night of Captain Rogers' wedding" she murmurs as if she revealing a secret with scandalous implications.

I lean my head back bursting out laughing and the poor secretary's cheeks turn red.

"Sorry if I was intrusive but here in Washington people don't talk about anything else" she chuckles embarrassed.

I wave a hand in front of her face.

"Don't worry.Everything is fine.So…have we been the best gossip in recent times?"

Dana laughs and nods happy to have found complicity with the person directly involved in the gossip.

“It's so romantic” she then sighs.

"Romantic?" I ask giggling.

"Absolutely yes!" the blonde eagerly replies from across the desk.

"That is, your love story is wonderful.Passion, intrigue.A love that seemed over but then you found each other again.A love like this is really something rare.Soul mates” she adds, sighing dreamily.

"You believe?" I ask, revealing a little of the uncertainties that are currently overshadowing my heart.

Dana leans even further forward.

“Amaya is a very pragmatic woman and rest assured that if she has exposed herself so much to you it only means one thing…that she really loves you.We often found ourselves talking about men, at least I talked about them and she just listened to me.She never got too out of balance, her life was just work and work...but since you entered her life I have seen a change in her.A positive change” Dana murmurs softly, almost touched that her friend has finally found someone to love.

We smile then a voice behind me captures my attention.

“Stop hitting on the poor woman Barnes!Or I'll have to report it to your girlfriend” Sharon exclaims, joining me.

She is wearing a black dress and her vertiginous heels are ticking on the marble floor.

When she reaches we hugs.

"What are you doing here?" she asks me after saying goodbye to Dana that diligently got back to work.

“Fury has summoned Amaya, Steve and Natasha.I wait for them to finish”

Sharon smiles at me.

"What do you say if we have a coffee together while waiting?" she asks.

And even if I don't feel in the right mood, I can't deny it.

"Of course!Let's go"

We leave the Triskelion immersing ourselves in the sweltering heat of the city and head to the bar, sitting on the sidelines and finding some relief from the scorching heat thanks to the air conditioning.

We place our order and start sipping our coffee in silence.

“So...you want to tell me what's going on?Or do I have to take the words out of your mouth?" she asks me leaning her back against the chair and crossing her arms to her chest.

I laugh pretending to be casual.

"There's nothing wrong Sharon, really" I murmur but her gaze leaves me no way out.

"Really?" she asks, narrowing her gaze.

I roll my eyes but still don't answer.

Sharon remains silent.

She knows me all too well and she is waiting for me to decide to speak.

"What do you know?" I ask fiddling with a sachet of sugar.

Sharon smiles.

“I know about poor Agent Scott's broken heart.Of your love escape in Wakanda"

I sigh letting my gaze wander between the tables.

"Are things not going as you hoped?" Sharon asks softly leaning her elbows on the table and leaning towards me.

“I think I'm screwing everything up Sharon...again!I have a horrible temper.I'm afraid Amaya is getting tired of me”

Sharon laughs.

“Do you find it funny?Do you think it's the Karma for what I did to you?" I murmur sadly.

Sharon shakes her head.

“Don't be stupid James.I laugh because you are absurd.How can you think Amaya is getting tired of you?That woman loves you so much.And you love her.What's the problem?"

I scratch the back of my neck embarrassed.

“I freaked out this morning.Lucas was on a mission with us, she rushed to apologize to him and when I saw them laughing and hugging each other I lost my head” I admit full of shame.

"I understand" Sharon murmurs and then takes another sip of coffee.

"You and I are friends, right?" she asks me.

I nod.

“Why can't Lucas and Amaya be?Even if it annoys you to admit it he was very important to her and you have to accept it"

"Yes I know but it's not easy..." I burst out like a capricious child making Sharon roll her eyes.

“Do you know that it was Amaya who begged me to forgive you?Literally” Sharon says, looking at me with a sly smile.

"What?"

"Mmh mmh" she nods.

"The day of the attack on the Triskelion.She told me that I was too important to you and that she didn't care if I hated her, the important thing was our friendship" Sharon murmurs, pointing first at her and then at me.

I am shocked.

Amaya had never mentioned any of this to me.

"She put sideways her feelings because she loves you so much that she just wants your happiness" adds Sharon placing her hand on mine on the table.

And only in that moment do I see it.

"And this?" I ask with a toothy smile.

I grab Sharon's left hand looking at the huge solitaire that shines on her ring finger.

I watch her as she blushes and chuckling pulls her hand back from my grip.

“His name is Josh.We met on New Year's Eve and it was love at first sight.Last week he proposed” she announces excitedly.

I'm really happy for her.

"You couldn't wait to slam it in my face, wasn't it?" I tease her by nodding my head towards her hand.

Sharon laughs heartily, her eyes sparkling with pure joy.

"Maybe" she replies with a sly smile.

We laugh together.

“I'm really happy for you Sharon.Really"

"Really?" she asks hesitantly.

"Of course!You are one of the dearest people I have and knowing that you are happy fills me with joy.You deserve all the happiness of this world Sharon” I answer her with my heart in hand.

"So you will come to my wedding?"

"You can count on it" I answer with a wink.

We stay a while longer chatting until my phone rings.

I check the display.

It's Amaya.

I reply immediately apologizing to Sharon.

"James where are you?" she asks me in a dull voice.

I close my eyes sorry.

I am making suffer the only person who does not deserve it.

“I'm with Sharon.Are you done with Fury?"

"Yup.Nat is preparing the jet to return to New York.You...are you coming with us?" she uncertain question.

As if I could ever let her go without me.

"Wait for me doll, I'll be right"

I end the call and surprise Sharon staring at me intently.

“Fix things Barnes.Amaya is your soul mate, don't screwed up"

I return to the Triskelion with Sharon and after saying goodbye I head to the top of the building where the runway is located with the jet ready to take off for New York.

They are all on board already so I am going to go up quickly.

Natasha is already at the controls while Steve and Amaya are sitting in the back seats.

"It was time Barnes!" Nat exclaims over the sound of engines starting.

I take a seat next to Amaya, fastening my belt.

Once we have gained altitude I turn to Steve who seems quite nervous.

"What's up brother?Are you ok?"

Steve moves uncomfortably in place.

My gaze goes to Amaya who is giving our friend a sweet smile.

Natasha puts on the autopilot and joins us sitting next to her husband, giving him a look full of pride.

"What happens?" I ask sincerely confused.

Amaya answer to my question.

“Fury has decided that he's time to enjoy his retirement.And he asked me to replace him”

I open my mouth in amazement even if all it makes sense.

Amaya was like a daughter to Fury and it's more than understandable that he wants her to follow his footsteps.

But that doesn't explain Steve's mood.

"And?" I urge Amaya to keep going.

"Amaya refused, proposing Steve in her place" continues Natasha visibly excited.

I turn my gaze to my best friend.

"Are you the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D.?" I ask excitedly.

Steve nods smiling.

"Oh my God man that's great!" I exclaim laughing and undoing my belt I get up to go and hug my best friend.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. is lucky to have a good and righteous man like Steve in charge, I'm sure he's going to be a really good director.

The flight proceeds pleasantly even if Amaya and I interact as little as possible.

She is right.

We cannot go on like this, we absolutely have to face this situation and make a final decision.

After returning and celebrating Steve's new role at S.H.I.E.L.D. we go to our room.

The day was really long and hard.

I follow Amaya to her bedroom door and stop behind her.

“If it's not a problem for you, can I come in?I left Alpine in your room this morning” I murmur.

Amaya looks at me dazed.

"Sure.Why do you ask?"

I shrug just staring at her.

Amaya shakes her head and opens the door.

As soon as we cross the threshold Alpine runs towards us, rubbing on the ankles of both and meowing softly.

I drop to my knees to be able to pick him up.

“Hi buddy” I whispered to him as I caress his little head.

He in response begins to purr.

Amaya approaches us stopping a step away from me, she reaches out her hand just enough to caress Alpine.

I observe her from above enjoying her beauty.

Her red hair like the flames of hell is gathered in a messy bun, her long, light lashes almost brush her cheekbones every time she blinks.

On her lips there is the shadow of a very sweet smile.

Alpine nibbles the tip of her finger making her laugh heartily, her head tilts back as she squints in amusement.

Her crystalline laughter fills the room and rings like a choir of angels in my ears.

This is my second favorite sound, first place goes to the sound of her moans whispered in my ears.

Amaya lifts her intense green gaze at me and smiles at me briefly, as if she is tired.

"I'm going to take a shower" she whispers awkwardly but before she can turn her back I grab her by the wrist.

Holding her tightly, I gently rest Alpine on the bed and then bring my attention back to her.

“Wait Amaya.We need to talk”

She stiffens but continues to keep her gaze fixed on mine.

I let her go and sit on the edge of the bed, she imitates my gestures and sits beside me.

"You're right.We can't go on like this Amaya” I murmur with my heart galloping furiously in my chest, rumbling in my ears.

We remain silent until a shy whisper from her rouses me from my fears.

"What did you say?" I ask.

She spoke so softly that not even my hearing could decipher what she said.

"Have you decided to leave me?" she asks this time in a higher tone.

Her voice trembles even though her gaze is serious.

I turn completely to her with an incredulous look.

"What?No!What...what are you thinking about Amaya?"

I watch her as she lets out a shaking sigh.

“Amaya I want to apologize to you, I really hope you can accept my apologies.Today I was unforgivable.But I know that words alone are not enough.I need to work on this side of my character, we both need someone to point us on the right path to make our relationship work”

Amaya stands up just to sit astride me.

She strokes my cheek, bringing a lock of hair behind my ear.

"I'm serious when I say I want you all my life but I think we need help" I say.

"What do you mean?" my little robin asks me while her fingers play with the tags around my neck.

"I'm saying that maybe doing couples therapy isn't such a bad idea.Maybe you could ask your therapist if she is still willing to help us” I tell her.

I'm hesitant, I've never had a good relationship with psychologists and shrinks but for Amaya I would do anything.

And I've come to the conclusion that we can't do it alone, we both have problems and skeletons in the closet that are completely different from any other couple.

Professional help is the best way to go.

"Really?Are you serious?" Amaya exclaims, opening her eyes wide in amazement.

I nod smiling at her.

“I love you Amaya and I can't lose you.I can't.I want to do everything to make what is between us work.Do you agree?Do you want...do you want to give me this chance?" I ask scared, waiting for an answer from her.

Amaya throws her arms around my neck and squeezes me tightly.

"Yes, of course I agree" she whispers in my ear.

She detaches from me and smiles at me, her eyes are bright but shine with hope.

"Together we will do it"

"Together we will do it" I whisper on her lips repeating her words.

And then I kiss her.

I kiss her softly.

All I want is to live with my little robin, to live together happy and free from all worries.

I squeeze her back against my body dipping my face into her neck and inhaling her sweet scent deeply into my lungs.

"I love you Amaya" I whisper on her delicate skin.

"I love you too James"

"Forever my little robin?"

"Forever.I will always be yours”

And with this exchange of sweet hopes I am sure that we will face with determination all that life has to offer us.

"So...what do you think if we take that shower together?" Amaya whispers sensually, bringing her lips to mine.

I get up of bed holding my beautiful woman in my arms.

"I was hoping you would say it" I answer her kissing her and with her in my arms I go to the bathroom.

Once I cross the threshold I put her back down and watch her as she sensually undresses.

When she is completely naked she invited me to follow her in the shower.

On her body, her small and firm body, the water flows gently flowing between her breasts and then disappearing between her thighs.

She lets down her hair and winks provocatively whispers "Do you want to get a move Sergeant or do you want to stand there staring at me?"

I wet my lips with the tip of my tongue and then run my teeth along my lower lip.

"Oh doll get ready because tonight you're gonna scream a lot"

Amaya looks at me with her beautiful languid eyes.

“I was hoping you would say it” she whispers, smiling slyly.

I smile too and take off my t-shirt.

Maybe after all God doesn't hate me that much.

You're welcome my love 😏

Soooo I know this was meant to torment with beautiful gifs of men, however, my brain took it to a whole other level and this piece is about 2k. Don't come for me, it just happened haha. 🥴

Smut below the cut

Warnings: orgy, explicit sexual content, oral (f receiving), double penetration, voyeurism, exhibitionism, cum play, cumshot, jealous Steve, reverse harem, sensory deprivation, bound hands, choking, dirty talk, praise, degradation, explicit language.

Beta'd by the lovely @sparkledfirecracker but all mistakes are my own.

You whined desperately, tugging on the silk ties binding your hands. It was thrilling to be bound and blindfolded, but you knew this time was different. This time you were being punished and you didn’t know what to expect.

“Remember your safe word, Angel?” Ari’s voice caressed your ear before placing a soft kiss beneath your lobe. You nodded slowly, biting your lip nervously. Would you need your safe word?

“Don’t think she deserves a safe word,” you heard Steve chime in. You squirmed from your seat atop his desk. His voice was hard and angry. It made you uneasy. He was unpredictable when he was mad.

“Oh come on, Steve,” Curtis said. He was seated on your other side, his fingers trailing down your bare torso, towards the apex of your hips. “We can’t leave her without a safe word. She might have misbehaved but she’s still our girl.”

“Plus the little slut’ll be putty after the first time she can’t come,” Ransom snarled. His voice was further away, almost like he was seated on Steve’s couch.

"Good point," Steve agreed. You were trying hard to track his movements but Curtis' fingers trailing down your skin made it near impossible. Ari's hand cupped your knee, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

He began placing soft kisses on your neck and shoulder. Curtis dipped lower, making you lift your hips, "Behave, little dove, Steve’s already upset.”

The door opened and you were suddenly nervous. Who else was here? You knew all your men were accounted for. Mike, despite his silence, had been seated at Steve's desk when you had been dragged in here. And everyone else had spoken up to acknowledge their presence.

“Thank you for joining us, Lee." Steve greeted the charming Sheriff. It probably shouldn't have the effect that it had but Lee's arrival made you clench your thighs, trying to relieve some of the throbbing.

Flirting with him had been a bad idea but you couldn't help yourself. The power that oozed from his being and the heated way he watched you. Ari didn't usually mind your flirty manner but Steve … he didn't tolerate it.

How were you to know Steve was going to come by Ari's office to bring you both lunch. Perks of dating multiple men, someone was bound to bring you food everyday. Maybe if Lee hadn't had you pinned between his body and the wall, Steve wouldn't have been as mad but who knew, with him. The commanding voice as he called your name from across the office made you all tingly just thinking about it.

“My pleasure, Rogers. What can I do for you?" His gravelly voice made you shiver and clench your thighs again.

“Sheriff making you excited, little one?” Ari growled. There was no point in lying to him. His hand on your knee gave you away every time you squeezed your thighs together. You nodded, eagerly. Ari clicked his tongue, wrapping his huge hand around your throat, squeezing lightly. “Curtis open her up. Let Lee see what he does to her." He ordered.

“Have a seat, Sheriff. Our girl seems to have forgotten her place. Thought you'd like to watch as we remind her.” Steve said in a smug voice.

Curtis tossed one of your legs over his lap, spreading you wide.

“I don't know, Rogers. Seems like she's excited to see me. Look how she's dripping all over that desk.” Lee said in a gloating tone, "pitiful that five guys aren't enough to handle one girl."

Ransom snarled and it sounded like there was a struggle before he plopped down on the couch. “Shut your mouth, Bodecker. Otherwise, I won't hold Ransom back next time." Steve spat. "Ari, spread her other leg over your lap. Mike, have a taste.“

You heard Mike stand up and round the desk. Rough hands cupped your face, making you look up even though you couldn't see. “Behave yourself, doll, and don't come until I say so."

He waited for your nod before he kissed you hard. Tongue invading your mouth possessively. Your body arched as he gave your nipples a firm twist before pulling away.

There was a brief moment of pause before Mike's lips found yours. He continued kissing his way down until he was kneeling between your knees.

Your hips lifted as his mouth closed over your cunt. He began to eat you out like you were his favorite meal. Ari's lips found your right nipple, sucking and biting at it.

Curtis, in turn, sucked on your ear lobe before kissing along the curve of your neck. His facial hair scratched against the soft skin. Your whole body was alit with pleasure. You couldn't concentrate on anything, the dull, roaring your ear, sealing you into your own little world. The only thing you fought to remember was not to come. You couldn't come. You mustn't come.

But it was almost impossible the way Mike was ravishing you. The coil was beginning to unravel. Your thighs trembled as they tried to close around Mike's head but Curtis and Ari both had a tight grip on them.

You bit down on your bottom lip, fighting the blooming warmth in your abdomen. “That's enough, Mike,” Steve commanded and you groaned at the loss of his tongue. Your impending orgasm faded into nothing.

Steve lifted you off the desk, untying your hands before guiding you somewhere. Another pair of hands grabbed your waist, and you were pulled forward, gripping onto firm shoulders, from the soft wool beneath your hands, it was clear that you were on Ransom's lap.

His cock was out, pressed against your swollen clit. You ground your hips down, and Ransom snarled "Don't you dare kitten. Can't act like a greedy whore and then try to suck up to me with that pretty pussy.”

"Ransom,” you whined, “I'm sorry." He chuckled humorlessly and kissed your pouty lips. He lifted you up and guided you down onto his length. Your eyes rolled back, savoring the way he stretched you out, the ridges and veins stroking your warm walls. “Don't move, baby, otherwise, Ari's gonna hurt going in.”

You let out a gargled groan, knowing that Ari was going to hurt no matter what. He was one of the biggest out of your boyfriends, him and Ransom. Steve knew that the two of them were a combination that wasn't one you usually took on. He truly was mad.

Ransom hissed as you clenched around him in anticipation for Ari. You rested your head on his shoulder, waiting patiently. Cool liquid hit your backside and Ransom spread your cheeks, allowing it to glide down to your puckered hole. A thumb rubbed it over the skin, moistening it.

"So pretty," Steve mused.

"All spread out like that. Fuck," Mike growled.

“You know what would make her even prettier?" Curtis chimed in. The other two hummed, "If we painted her back with our cum."

Lee groaned, having surprisingly been quiet to that point. "I think Bodecker likes the idea, Curtis,” Mike said smugly.

“Sorry, man. She's ours.” Steve chuckled.

“Enjoy the show though. She's about to be ruined. “ Curtis gloated. You heard him come closer before he kneeled on the couch beside you.

You felt Ari step behind you. His cock glided between your cheeks, nudging your hole with every pass, not pushing in yet. "You gonna be a good girl for me?"

“Yes, Ari,'' you responded, pushing your hips back. "Kitten," Ransom warned. You muttered an apology, waiting for Ari to push in.

Ari spanked your left cheek, then the right. The sting distracted you from the burn of him pushing in. You felt impossibly full, biting your lip hard until he fully seated himself. Neither man moved for a moment, and you were bursting with a need for more. A hand rested on your lower back.

“Relax, doll. Remember no cumming till I say."

“I promise, Steve. I'll be good." You panted. He kissed your temple. Ari pulled out and pushed back in, Ransom pulling out as he did. The two men found a rhythm that had you holding onto the back of the couch tightly. Waves of pleasures washed over you and you moaned loudly with each punch of their hips.

They used you as their personal toy and you loved it. Nothing made you happier. Ransom grunted in your ear, fingers digging into your waist. Ari had a firm hold on the flesh of your ass, smacking it occasionally before grabbing a handful again. You heard Curtis moans with some slurping noises. Mike was sucking him off. That image made a wave of fresh arousal seeped out of you.

From the way the two men were speeding up, you could tell they were both close. You began to rock your hips, trying to help them along.

Steve's hot hand on your back was the only thing keeping you from not forgetting that you couldn't come. No matter how much you needed to. The pressure was building again but you kept your body tightly wound up, thinking of literally anything else.

Ransom came first, his body tensing up with a shout. Ropes of cum filled you up. Before you even had an idea what was going on, Ari's hands hooked beneath your thighs, lifting you off of Ransom and straight onto Steve. You let out a choked moan, nails digging into his thick pecs.

“Fuck, doll. You feel so good,” Steve rolled his hips up. Somehow he and Ari were in better sync. You knew you weren't going to last long and you just hoped Steve was feeling merciful. "I know you’re my good girl. My pretty doll. Think you deserve to cum?"

"Mhmm, yes Steve. Anything for you. Just please let me cum," Steve kissed you, softly.

“Okay baby," he whispered, “you're gonna cum when I cum, deal?"

You nodded, quickly, grabbing his shoulders and the three of you began to move in quick fluid motions. Ari's body pressing against your back, trapping you against Steve's hard chest.

Now that the weight was lifted off your shoulders, you allowed yourself to melt into them. The fuzziness in your brain intensified with each stroke of their cocks. You swore you could see stars.

Everything was becoming too much, you couldn't think straight. There was nothing you loved more than being used like this. "Fuck, Steve. Feels so good."

"Yeah, angel? You still like us more than Lee?” Ari growled in your ear. You clenched hard, whimpering, not sure if it was Lee's effect or how good it felt to be stuffed full.

"I don't know, Ari. Seems like she's still affected by Bodecker."

“No, no, no," you chanted, afraid that Steve was going to get mad again, “I want you. Just you guys.”

Steve gave you another kiss, silencing you instantly. “Don't worry, doll you're ours."

"And you're going to be reminded of that fact all night long," Ransom said, stroking your cheek. Your body tightened with need. "Would you like that baby?"

His question made you whimper needily and you moaned his name. Ransom chuckled, loving that he could pull that reaction from you without even being inside you.

Steve's thumb found your clit, making it hard to focus again so you simply nodded, burying your head into his neck. Ari's hands tightened on your ass and it wasn't long before he came with a roar. He was always the most vocal of all your lovers.

Steve guided your face up to his and kissed you. The two of you were ensnared in a deep kiss, as the two of you tumbled over the edge. You came so hard, your vision went white. Steve's lips were the only thing keeping you grounded.

You barely registered the hot cum painting your back or the way Ari filled up your ass. Steve’s hips continued to fuck up into you, combining his cum with Ransom's. You slumped forward, body so worn out. This wasn't over, you had a long night ahead of you but you knew that Steve had proven his point. His hand rubbed your back comfortingly, especially when you whined from Ari pulling out.

"Did so good, doll. My sweet girl," Steve praised, “Curtis, escort Lee out, We have to get home."

“Alright Bodecker, up. Round two awaits us at home and it's a private showing.”
