Okay, so lemme get this straight.
a lot of y’all within the CoD fandom are perfectly fine with Ghost being paired with a stereotypical “American” person —
— but lose your absolute marbles at me for pairing him up with a Native American woman.
Suddenly I’m:
erasing his sexuality and “canon romance” with soap.
fetishizing my own culture.
sending my own ppl back like fifty years.
Okaaayyyyy?
I’m sensing a pattern here. Some of y’all really love to abuse the fuck outta that tumblr anon button to bash OC creators for creating BIPOC!OCs and shipping them with your favorite fictional characters, especially men.
Maybe it’s rooted in your hatred for OCs, or your extreme love for certain canon x canon romances. I don’t know, but y’all gotta chill the fuck out.
I’ve witnessed this before, particularly in the MCU fandom. A hell of a lot of y’all Steve/Bucky fans seemingly burst a hemorrhoid when Black writers pair either men with a Black!reader or Black!OC.
It is true that many of us carry heavy generational trauma due to discrimination, displacement, and attempted genocide as a result of colonialism and colonization. But that does not mean we cannot find enjoyment in certain fictional characters (that also happen to be white as well).
What to take from this? Stop messaging BIPOC — ESPECIALLY INDIGENOUS WRITERS — with the mentality that we cannot enjoy current, modern fandom topics and fictional characters.
And if Ghost being in an interracial relationship with a Native woman pisses you off THAT BADLY that Andrew Jackson would be proud, the block button is right there.
Thank you :)

I'm not really an artist, but there really is not enough love for V.I.C. out there. I could probably do a better job but this is a start. Good enough for now

The Shield 🛡️
I just started watching the show called "The Shield" and now I'm on Season 2. Vic Mackey is 🥵
I watched Gotham first so I find it hilarious that it seems as if Captain Barnes might have just been a whole ass call-back to The Shield—From the heavy contrast of anti-hero vs. Law abiding hardass, to Strike Team vs. Strike Force—
Look, even the name "Barnes" has to be a callback to how the place in The Shield is called the Barn.
Still though, I'm surprised on how little fanfic there is about Vic Mackey x Reader and Vic x OFC.

Tumblr media
It's been two hours of trying to study for our physics quiz with some girl named Vic from my class. She couldn't shut up about how her date had been with the school's quarterback, Bucky Barnes. "I really think he's the one, you know?" she had said with heart eyes as she twirled her curly hair around her finger.
Vic's notes remained untouched. I nodded and hummed while copying down equations and formulas. She obviously didn't mind my disinterest, continuing to talk about how Bucky had complimented her necklace and the perfume she wore.
Checking the time on my phone, I gratefully noticed it was time for me to head back to my dorm with Nat and Carol. "I know he has a reputation as a bit of a player, but I swear I'm the exception. You should see the way he looks at me!" her jaw dropped as if she couldn't believe it herself. "Mhm, well it was really nice working with you but I have to get back to my dorm. Catch you later?" I asked while scurrying to gather my stuff. "Yeah, for sure!!"
I bolted out of the library and down the dark sidewalk to my dorm. I enjoyed the slight autumn breeze and rustle of the leaves as I walked down the sidewalk. Soon enough I saw the lights from our building come into view, walking faster to get into the warmth of our room. I burst into our dorm, wasting no time in talking about my night.
"Natasha, that was horrible. The entire time Vic talked about Bucky Barnes like he was a God," I started setting my stuff down on our island while I talked, "She went on and on about their date and how she's sure he's the one." I imitated in a high voice. "It was disgusting. Like I get he's the quarterback but how good can he seriously be?? Anyways, I at least got some notes done. How was your night?" That was when I noticed Natasha's boyfriend, Steve and one of his friends was sitting on our couch.
"Hi Steve." I waved. Steve was smirking at his friend. He went to introduce him but was quickly cut of by a "Hi, I'm James." He grinned and stuck his hand out for me to shake. "Sorry about your study session" he said with a smile. "It's no big deal. How's the game?" They were watching college football on our living room tv. "Good, it's just in the final quarter." his smile reached his eyes and crinkled them around the edges.
The rest of our night was spent watching football, eating snacks and drinking wine or beer. When the game ended and everyone started yawning, Steve and James decided to go. "Bye," Nat kissed Steve goodbye, before stepping back from the door with me and Carol. James waved with a boyish grin on his face before leaving with Steve.
The next day we were heading to a football game, one of the last before thanksgiving break. Being pre-med I didn't go to many games, and I couldn't help but wonder if I would see the infamous Bucky Barnes. Nat and Wanda led me to the change rooms to help Thor sort out his hair, something I would usually do for him prior to the game, but today he said it would be better to do it here since I was coming anyway.
Once in the changeroom I saw many familiar faces, Tony, Steve, Sam, Peter, Pietro and now James. I caught James' eye and waved. He waved back with that same attractive grin. I started braiding Thor's hair while everyone else got ready for the game. Soon it was time for me to find Natasha and Wanda so I could sit down and watch the game. Thor and the rest of the team bid me goodbye as I left.
"So, what do you think of James?" Wanda asked, earning an elbow to the side from Nat. I quirked my eyebrow at her actions, "He's nice, and cute." "She's blushing!" said Wanda. "I am not! I'm just wearing a lot of layers, it is fall you know." "There's Steve!" Nat called, pointing to the field as the players started to come out. "Does anybody know what number James is?" I asked innocently. Nat just shook her head.
After the game, we went back down to the changerooms so Nat could see her boyfriend and Wanda could see her brother. "Y/n! Your braid held up amazing today! Thank you!" Thor bellowed as soon as he noticed us. "You're welcome Thor! I'm glad it worked." I said with a laugh. I found myself alone as Nat and Wanda left, but not for long.
"So, I heard your study session went pretty bad. Want a different partner maybe?" I turned around to see James. "Are you offering to help me study physics James?" "Maybe I am doll," he smirked, "I promise not to brag about Bucky Barnes or any football players. Scout's honour." he said, holding up one of his hands in a very serious manner. I couldn't help but laugh at his antics. "Well with a promise like that, you sure do make it hard to resist." I smiled. "It was that bad, huh?" he seemed closer than he was before. "Yes! The entire time she went on about Bucky and how amazing their date had gone. She said he was a known player but that he had a special spot for her or something. It was crazy. She even told me he was the one. Last time I checked, playboys don't have 'the one'" his smile seemed to dim at this. "Yeah, I guess you're right, doll." I loved that nickname. I felt butterflies everytime he said it. "Well, I'll give you my number, maybe you'll have better luck the second time around?" he offered. His confidence didn't seem as high as it was before. "Of course!" I said before handing him my phone and taking his. I put Y/n with a flower beside it before handing it back. He had put in his contact as 'James'.
A week later, James and I found ourselves in the library, notes open, with drinks and pens scattered everywhere. We had been talking daily in the days leading up to this and he seemed like a really sweet guy. He was raised by his single mother, Winnie, who he adored, he had a sister named Rebecca and he's been playing football with Steve since they were 11. They seemed like great friends, I couldn't help but wonder why I hadn't met him sooner.
Three hours in, our drinks were gone and my head felt all foggy. James was an incredible study partner. He chatted with me every now and then, always a welcome break from copying down notes. He was smart and helpful without being a nuisance like Vic. "Thank you," I said. He looked up at me with tired crystal blue eyes. "For being an amazing study partner." I smiled. He smiled softly, "I didn't talk too much?" "You did perfect. 10/10. We should definitely do this again." he grinned and let out a low laugh. "Alright then. I think it looks like you found a new study buddy." "That I did."
Me and James kept up our study sessions for weeks, and the habit of texting daily. We made frequent visits to a cute cafe on campus, usually spending an hour or more per week. During those hours we tended to do more talking than anything. My phone pinged with a notification,
James
Text me when you can. Not urgent, just need to talk.
That was weird. I went downstairs to talk to Wanda and Nat about it. "Have you guys noticed anything weird with James?" I asked. They shared a look that made me feel like they knew something I didn't. "Guys?" "Y/n, I think it's better if he tells you." Wanda said with a slight frown. What could have happened? Was he okay? I immediately opened my phone and told him to meet me at our cafe in ten minutes.
"Y/n?" he asked, seeing me at our usual table. I stood up once I saw him. He looked gorgeous, with a black coat, fresh jeans and a plain white tee. His hair looked a little messy, like he had just gotten up. "Are you keeping something from me? Are you okay?" "Y/n-" "No! If there's something wrong, I deserve to know James! I'm your friend, I know you don't have to tell me, but I care about you and-" "Y/N!" heads turned from other tables and the chatter died down for a moment after James had yelled. "Y/n, I am not sick, and I'm sorry for yelling. My name is James Buchanan Barnes. Bucky Barnes." I looked at him wide eyed. I was shocked. He didn't seem like a playboy, or self obsessive. Or anything Vic had described. Except for charming.
"Okay." "That's it? I've been guilty about this for weeks y/n/n." "And you should be! You technically lied to me. Why didn't you just tell me J- Bucky?" He kept avoiding my gaze. "Because then you would know I was a player and self obsessed." He seemed shameful and his face lacked any trace of a smile, instead it had traces of guilt.
"You don't seem like a player or like that at all. I actually really like you." I'm sure I was blushing at this point, and his head shot up from where he was looking at his shoes. "Really?" "Really. You're sweet, you care about your team, friends and family, especially your mom and Rebecca. You would do anything for your family or your team. You're giving and caring and you technically pretended to be someone you aren't just so we could see where this goes." "You think this is going somewhere, doll?" he smirked. "Maybe." I shrugged.
Tentatively he spoke, breaking our silence. "Y/n, would you like to go out with me?" "Hm...." I pretended to think, making his eyes widen. "Yes!" a breath of relief escaped him, and he stepped forward to wrap me up un a hug. I felt him place kisses to my hairline before he pulled back and smiled as he looked into my eyes.
I would never get tired of this view or this feeling. His cheeks were slightly flushed, and his hair was still messy. Crystal blues peered down into my own eyes. Pure adoration covered his face. "Well Barnes, where to?" "What do you mean doll?" "Didn't you just ask me out?" I giggled. "You mean like you want to go right now?" "Why waste anymore time, Bucky?"

Tumblr media
“Who is that?” Victoria taps Andy’s arm with one hand and points towards a woman talking with Carina.
Andy glances towards their way, “one of Carina’s doctor friends, she’s helping us with the clinic. Y/N Y/L/N, I think, why?” She turns to look at Vic, who is fully immersed with Y/N.
“No reason.” She whispers.
Y/N is holding a box of supplies brought from the hospital. Carina asked her to help out when the idea of a clinic at the fire station started, and of course she had to say yes. Helping people is the reason she became a doctor.
“Where should I bring these?” She takes a better grip of the box. It’s full of latex gloves and sheets for the examination chairs.
Humming, Carina looks around the barn. All the fire trucks have been taken out for the preparation of the clinic. “Take them to Victoria and Andy,” she points towards the two, who quickly look away when they notice this, “they’ll help you out.”
“Okay.” With a smile, Y/N starts walking towards them. “Hey, where should I bring this box?”
“I can take it.” Andy grabs it out of Y/N’s hands and sets it down to a table near them. “Thanks for helping out.”
“Of course. I’m Y/N, by the way.”
“Andy.” She smiles.
The two turn to look at Victoria, waiting for her to introduce herself. “Uh, right, yes, hey, I’m Vic. Well Victoria actually, but you know, most people call me Vic.” She rambles on with a short laugh, rubbing the back of her neck. Her face has suddenly gotten warm and her hands clammy. She wipes her palms to her pants.
“Nice to meet you two.”
They move on from the mess that was Victoria’s introduction, to her luck. She doesn’t know what came over her. Suddenly it felt like she forgot how to function like a human being. She’s yelling at herself inside her head for embarrassing herself like that.
“The clinic is a really great idea, I’m sure it’ll help out a lot of people.”
“Yes!” Victoria almost shouts, snapping Y/N and Andy’s attention to her. She clears her throat. “It is- yes, a good idea. And we’re so grateful to have doctors…like you, helping us out with it. So great.”
Y/N nods slowly. “Of course, I love to help out.”
“Yeah.” Victoria’s eyes are wide as she stares at her. “Well,” she points at the box, “I better go put that away.” Picking up the box, she speed walks away, ignoring Andy who is following right behind her.
“What was that?” Andy asks as they arrive to the supply room. Victoria starts putting the supplies to their own places in the shelf, shaking her head while doing it. She has a mortified look on her face. “Vic?”
“I don’t know!” She throws her hands in the air. “I don’t know what that was. My brain just froze up.”
A small grin grows on Andy’s face as she stares at her. “You like her.”
“I just met her.”
“Well, you think she is attractive.” Rolling her eyes, Andy starts organizing the supplies with her. “That’s adorable.”
“No, that was absolutely horrible.” She glares at Andy, who just starts laughing by herself.
The next day comes by and the clinic opens for the first time. Every fire fighter and the few doctors who decided to volunteer are full of anticipation as they wait for their first patient to arrive. Victoria is standing by the door between the barn and the lobby of the station, her eyes moving through the whole space.
“Waiting for someone?” Andy comes up behind her, making her flinch. “A doctor perhaps?”
“No.” She crosses her arms her chest, taking few steps away from Andy.
Humming, Andy nods slowly. She leans against the door frame. “Maya told me she’s running a bit late.” Victoria turns to look at her with her brows scrunched up. “Just saying.” She mumbles with a smirk before walking away.
She sighs, walking over to Travis to wait with him. They organize supplies that have already been organized to look busy.
”Hey, Vic!”
Victoria turns around quickly, almost making a metallic tray fall from a table. “Y/N!” She takes hold of the tray, stopping it from clanging around. “Hi! You- you’re here.” Laughing, she rubs the back of her neck.
“I’m here.” Y/N giggles.
Travis’ attention instantly shifts to them. His eyes are wide as he stares at Victoria’s mannerisms around Y/N.
“Has there been patients yet?” Y/N looks around the clinic, happy with the outcome.
“Uhh, no, not yet.” Shaking her head, she has a tight lipped smile on her face. “Thank you for volunteering, it’s great to have you around. As a doctor!” She adds the last part quickly. “It is great to have doctors around. To help us, with..with this.”
Stepping next to Victoria, Travis takes control of the conversation. “Hi, I’m Travis.” He shakes Y/N’s head. “You’re Carina’s friend, right? Y/N Y/L/N?”
“Yes! It’s nice to meet you.” She has a wide smile on her face. Finally, the first patient walks into the clinic. “First visitor,” she smiles, “guess I better go help out.”
Before she can walk away, Travis grabs her arm. “No, no, Gibson is going to him. We are all going to Joe’s after our shift, would you like to join us?” Victoria turns to look at him with wide eyes.
“Sure, that sounds fun.” Another doctor calls for her. She gives the two a smile, “I have to go, but I’ll see you later,” and leaves.
“We aren’t going to Joe’s after out shift?” She whispers once Y/N is out of reach.
Travis smirks. “Now we are.”
Everyone is excited once Y/N walks into the bar. Travis and Andy, who both saw how affected Victoria was by her presence, decided they’d help the two get together, getting everyone else on the team to help.
“Over here!” Andy shouts, waving her hand in the air. Y/N walks over to them, sitting next to Victoria, the seat that was left empty on purpose. “We already ordered you a drink.”
“Thank you, and thanks for inviting me.“
“Of course!” Travis smiles, his smile is wide and full of mischief, but to Y/N it looks like a normal smile. “We like to have you around, especially Vic.” He throws his arm around Victoria’s shoulders, shaking her whole body.
She chokes on her drink, getting a concerned look fro Y/N. “No!” Victoria coughs, putting her drink down. Then she starts panicking. “I mean yes! Of course I like having you around,” she laughs, “but like the normal amount. The same amount as everyone else here.”
“I like being around you too.” She states, which makes Victoria smile.
“Oh no!” Maya exclaims loudly, looking at her phone. “I need to go home, Carina texted me that there’s a family emergency.” She stands up, though the doesn’t look worried at all.
Y/N frowns. She’s pretty sure Carina is still working. Andy stands up with her, “and I’m her ride, so I guess I have to go too. I’m so sorry.” The two leave the bar.
Suddenly Jack has to leave and Dean with him, then Ben says Miranda just texted him, although his phone is in Y/N’s lime of sight and it didn’t light up even once. And very soon after that Travis has to go home too, leaving Victoria and Y/N to the bar alone.
Victoria has a glare on her face. “They planned this.” She mumbles, dropping her head onto her hands.
“You think?” Y/N giggles, sipping her drink.
“I’m so sorry.”
“Is there a reason why they planned this?” Her voice is questioning, but the look on her face shows she has an idea what’s going on.
Pressing her eyes shut, Victoria groans. Of course she knows why this happened. Rubbing her face, she lifts her head to look at Y/N. “Yes. I-“ she sighs, “my brain shuts down anytime I’m near you, because I think you’re very beautiful, and I think I caught feelings the moment my eyes met yours.”
Y/N smiles, her cheeks turning warm for a change. She looks down to hide it. “That’s good to hear, because I feel the exact same way.” Smiling, Victoria grabs her hand. Maybe it wasn’t so bad to embarras yourself once in a while.
“Are you sure this is going to work?” Victoria asks, making Travis groan. The question has left her mouth at least ten times during the last hour and he is starting to get annoyed.
“It will, Vic! Stop worrying.”
“I am proposing to my girlfriend, of course I’m worried!”
Taping down the last piece of paper to the fire truck’s aide, Travis sighs and turns to take hold of Victoria’s shoulders. “You are proposing your girlfriend who you love dearly, and who loves you. She won’t say no.” He looks deep into her eyes. “Stop worrying.”
“Stop worrying.” She mumbles, wiping her palms to her pants. Looking at the truck, she smiles. It looks great.
Andy walks into the room. “Okay, everyone! The trucks are ready to go,” she looks at Victoria, “are you ready?”
“Yeah, I’m ready, lets go.” They all cram into one of the fire trucks B-shift let them lend.
Andy drives the truck near the ambulance bay, out of sight for anyone who is by the door. Victoria is the only one who gets out, one of her hands is in the pocket of her work pants. She’s gripping the small box tightly.
She smiles as Carina and Y/N walk outside, the latter with a confused expression on her face. “Hey,” she smiles back at her, “is something wrong? Is there an ambulance coming?” Y/N tries to look over to the entrance of the bay, but Carina pulls her backwards, being part of the plan.
“No!” Victoria walks closer to her. “Everything is okay. I, uhm, just had something to tell you.”
Glancing at widely smiling Carina, Y/N furrows her brows. “Okay.”
“We’ve been together for over a year,” Victoria starts, taking a shaky breath, words are still hard to come by around Y/N, “and I love you so much. I’m so glad I met you, even though I made a fool out of myself.” She laughs. “I feel like I’m doing the same thing right now.”
Y/N tilts her head with a smile. Her eyes are starting to get teary eyes the longer Victoria talks.
“And,” she clears her throat, giving a signal to the truck, “I’d love to wake up everyday next to you and make a fool of myself for the rest of our lives.” The truck’s siren turns on as it starts moving towards them.
Y/N gasps when Victoria drops down to one knee and pulls out the ring box. The other firefighters jump out of the truck once it’s right behind her. There’s a large banner on the side of it that says Will you marry me Y/N?
With a teary laugh, Y/N starts nodding. “Yes, yes, of course!” She jogs to Victoria and jumps into her arms, the others cheering by the sidelines. Some other doctors have come outside when hearing the commotion. “I love you so much.”
The two kiss before Victoria slips the ring to Y/N’s ring finger. She giggles. “You’re my fiancee.” She states, feeling ecstatic.
“I’m your fiancee!”
The others come to them with wide smiles, hugging them both, which ultimately leads into a big group hug.

Congratulation... Captain?
Andy x Fem!Reader
AN: next chapter will contain smut
Chapter 3
"19!Line up in the barn!" A strict voice calls. The team lines up, all in a row, so that everyone is facing each other and Andy walks imposingly through the centre of the row. "We currently hold the record for speed and thoroughness! We want to keep it that way." She walks slowly past each individual, checking their equipment, state of health and attitude. Jack watches the scene from above without anyone noticing and smiles. He is almost healthy again for work after falling on the ground.
Andy walks past you, stops for a moment and looks you in the eye.
"Excelente como siempre". (Excellent as always) You immediately look down at the floor and Andy moves on. "90 minute workout, now! 19!" Andy shouts.
"19!!!" Everyone joins in and gets to work.
Andy also trains, going through the ranks to make sure everyone reaches their full potential.
"Looks good" She comes over to you and smiles. Fancy a round of training together?"
"sure" Andy lies down and you support her knees "if you can do 30 without hesitation I'll buy you a drink in Joe's bar" You grin confidently, but you don't miss Andy's raised eyebrows. She starts right away, looking deep into your eyes, which makes your cheeks unconsciously glisten red.
After 25, she continues, but has to pant a lot more.
"I hope you can handle a lot," Andy stands up with a broad grin, discreetly out of breath and drinks some of her water.
"30…not bad" you smile as you unconsciously look at her for a long time then go into the changing room to change and take a shower. As you stand in the shower, Andy stops in front of the closed door, already showered and with her back to the door, looking up thoughtfully as she is distracted by Vic. "Is Y/N doing well? Is she fit?"
Andy goes to her locker and changes. "Yes, She's fine." As soon as everyone had finished, the first call came. You go into Car L19 together with Andy.
"so what exactly did the woman mean? A cat rummaging through her garbage in her garden?" You look outside in amusement and stifle a laugh.
"Well, maybe it's a wolf in sheep's clothing." You both have to laugh and when you arrive, the woman is already standing in front of the house.
"Dios mío, está en el jardín e incluso tiene bebés. Hay que llevarlos al refugio de animales". ("Oh my goodness, she's in the garden and even has babies. They need to be taken to the shelter!)
"ok ok, nos ocuparemos de ello" (ok ok, we'll take care of it)," Andy tries to reassure her and looks into the garden. "Fetch the cage, she says she even has kittens." You try not to let on and nod, get the cage and you both go into the garden.
"dónde se supone que está exactamente?" (where exactly is she supposed to be?) Andy asks and the woman points to some undergrowth behind the composter. As Andy approaches it, she makes a huge leap backwards, when suddenly the supposed "cat" hisses at Andy. She scrambles backwards on her butt to get some distance. You look at her in complete irritation and try to understand what is happening.
"that's…a…a…raccoon! Un condenado mapache! (damn racoon)… A fucking full-grown raccoon!" Andy freaks out completely and tries to get her breathing under control. You approach him and put the cage down. "Well, you're a sweet mama." You grab the raccoon and her kids and put them in the cage.
The two of you on the way back, absolute dead silence interrupted by your sudden laughter. "A raccoon?" Andy can't help but grin and join in with your laughter. "yup…raccoons…" Andy looks at you and can't take her eyes off you, but she notices and stops, her expression more serious, and looks out the window as she whispers. "Tu risa suena tan dulce" (your laugh sounds so sweet)
Your laughter becomes softer and you swallow, finnaly ariving at the barn.
"I'll finish the protocol then…" Andy was just about to leave when you stopped her. "Friday…we're both free. Don't you want to go for a drink?" You look at her expectantly, Andy smiles and turns around "sure" She wanted to leave when Jack suddenly comes over. “What nice ladys do we have here?” He looks at you charmingly but you just look surprised.
"well settled?" he asks you
"um…yeah, Jack right?" Andy watches slightly annoyed. "I heard you like to drink, would you like to go out with me?" He grins and before you can say anything, Andy steps in. "Ok Jack, that's enough for now, you're still on sick leave, go home!" You don't even get to say anything. "That's good Captain, it suits you Andy." He winks at her, Andy goes into her office and Jack cheekily follows her. "um…ok?" your look completely confused.
When he gets to the office, Andy is frustrated and starts to write the protocol when Jack just walks in. "Andy you've been through this before, you know the rules!" Jack tries to talk to her. "I don't know what you're talking about." Andy doesn't look at him and writes on the paper.
"If you start a relationship with her it will not only affect you but especially Y/N." Jack continues.
“Do you think I don’t know that!?” Andy throws her pen down on the page and places her hands on her forehead. "god, I don't know what's going on either….I'm done…I didn't want a relationship for…the rest of my life" a hint of seriousness can be heard. "I…I don't want this, I won't allow it. We'll just go drinking and I'll lock my feelings in the basement…" she says ironically and sits down again after walking back and forth in the room several times.
"This won't work in the long run and you know that…your feelings will eat you up…until you…have the feeling…" he comes too close and whispers in Andy's ear "that you won't be without her, for a second longer…You will touch her or feel her lips…" However, he provokes her and Andy pushes him away. "Get out Jack…go rest until you can get back to work!"
Jack leaves the office all confident while Andy kicks her desk. "Damn…"
In the evening when everyone is at the Beanery to eat, you stand at the fridge to get some orange juice. Andy looks at you but tries to avoid your gaze.
Tumblr media
"Is everything ok Captain?" you look at her worriedly and Andy tries to act calm. “You can talk if you want,” you whisper.
"Oh, preferiría besarte de nuevo…" (Oh I'd much rather kiss you again) Robert looks at Andy in surprise.
“Qué estás esperando, hazlo?” (What are you waiting for? Go ahead) suddenly all eyes are on you including Andy's. "woow Y/N you speak Spanish? Nice to know that too" Vic jokes. “Then let’s share, what’s it about?” Travis leans with a big goofy smile forward on the kitchen island, as Andy stares at you in disbelief, with the conscience that you must have understood everything else she said too.
You were about to continue in Spanish but Andy stops you because you don't know that Robert also understands Spanish. "well…..ok I'll go to the office and take care of some documents." She goes into the office completely distraught and you call after her.
“Still writing at this time?” Warren looks irritated and Travis shrugs his shoulders. "That's what it's like when you're captain," said Vic, sipping her tea.
“You should go after her and sort this out,” Robert said quietly as he walks past you. You look strained and finally go to her, without knocking you go into the office. "Andy we need to talk…"
"Why does everyone want to talk to me today?" Andy doesn't look at you.
"Because maybe you're the captain?" you smile and approach the table. "Andy, I don't know what that is between us but you can't tell me that you don't feel anything for me…"
"I'm a captain and you're a recruit, weren't you paying attention in the academy?" she says sarcastically. "You remember the kiss…" you are silent for a moment. "There was something before, I-" Andy suddenly stands up and slams her hands on the table to support herself. "It will never be anything…the rules forbid it and I will not jeopardize my or your rank!" Andy's words sound sad and frustrated. "I'm not interested in a higher rank… I just want to try out what's behind it. Nobody has to know…" you explain.
"tch……" Andy snorts.
"So you're telling me you don't feel anything for me?" You come closer to her, grab her hand and place it on your chest, directly on your heart. "I..I…" Andy's breathing quickens, lost in the feelings she takes a big step back, against the wall and looks at the floor, the blush on her face. "You have no idea how frustrating it is, it repeats again and it wasn't planned at all!" she looks at you desperately. "Then don't resist it…I want it too…" you get closer and closer to her and are directly in front of her.
"Andy….." you whisper to her and feel Andy's way too fast breathing on your lips as she suddenly turns you around and pins you against the wall. The tension is almost unbearable and makes it difficult not to give in to all the sweet and tense feelings. "That…that's not gonna happen…" She lets both arms fall to the side of you and looks at the floor. "go…"
You hang your head in sadness and disappointment, but then look at her seriously. "I don't believe you…" with these words you walk out of the office.
It's Friday and you haven't forgotten the date with Andy, although you haven't talked about it anymore. Hoping that she'll show up, you order a beer. The doorbell rings and Andy shows up with Vic and Travis. They walk forward to you and Travis and Vic greet you.
“heeeey Y/N heard you’re spending us some beer today?” Vic pats you on the back and laughs happily. They order beer and you look at Andy who only gives you a quick glance.
"well then! cheers!" Travis holds up his beer and you all toast. The evening is quiet and fun when suddenly Vic and Travis get a call to move out. "Well then guys…I don't even have 2 beers…it's a shame"Travis said. They break away and only you and Andy stay behind. She takes a sip from the bottle, now the 4th, and then looks at you without saying anything. Your gaze doesn't leave hers and your heart literally jumps out of your chest. "say…….in your head I'm already lying naked in your bed and we're doing it all night." Andy smiles and takes a last sip from her bottle, puts money on the counter, grabs your hand and pulls you out of Joe's Bar.

He was thankful, at least, that the first job he worked for Vic was in someplace that felt familiar. Maybe the ranch he'd spent his summers on hadn't been quite so many acres as this, and his grandparents old farmhouse didn't compare to the mansion they'd been walked through to reach the party out back, but there was no hiding the smell of a farm. Sweet hay, and grass, and leather, all blending together in a way that made Charlie's shoulders seem to relax as he stepped back outside alongside Vi. Within sight, down at a nearby barn, he caught sight of a farrier finishing up their work and leading a pretty white arabian back to its stall. He felt a small twinge in his chest- he'd considered that job, once. It took a few years of schooling and he'd later turned his sights on teaching, then on.. nothing, but it was difficult not to compare what could've been to what he was now. A b-grade mechanic swept into working as a bodyguard under a criminal. A liar, an alcoholic, an undeniably terrible boyfriend. He hovered just next to Vi and glanced over to him for guidance.
"You ever been here before?" He asked, partially curious and mainly to find any way to turn his attention elsewhere. "It's.. a real nice place. Pretty."

Rather Die | Chapter 18
Tumblr media
word count: 3405
warnings: talk of pregnancy, mild language
master list
———————————————————————
It's Black Friday morning. Austin, Victoria, & Ashley go out to The Grove, which is an outdoor shopping center.
It's all decorated for the holiday's; Christmas music plays in & outside of every store. It's Victoria's favorite time of year.
"So, what are we shopping for? Or who, I should say." Ashley asks.
"I'll be shopping for my family, Mila, Ashton, and the baby. I know she won't be here for Christmas, but if I see anything on sale that I like, I'm getting it." Victoria says.
"What? Not buying for me?" Austin asks her.
"I mean, I will, but not today. Can't buy for you while you're with me, Aus."
"We should stop into Pottery Barn Kids & look at furniture for the nursery." Austin mentions.
"Oh, definitely. We haven't even decided on what we want yet though. Like a color scheme or a theme."
"Do you have any ideas?"
"I was thinking maybe an accent wall with floral wallpaper, and the walls being a color to match the wallpaper. Probably like a baby pink or something. White furniture."
"I like that. Let's go see what furniture they have."
The three of them headed into Pottery Barn Kids and started taking a look at everything they had.
"Vic, do we want a bassinet or a crib?" Austin asks.
"Um, I'd say for the nursery, we get a crib, and a bassinet for the bedroom. She'll be sleeping with us in the bedroom for the first six months or so."
"With us? Like, me & you? In the same bed?"
"Maybe the first few nights we'll do that while she gets accustomed to being home. We can get a portable bassinet, take turns on who gets her during the night, and we can transfer the bassinet back & forth from my room to yours."
"Yeah, that would work. Especially if we both have relationships, we'll want nights off to spend with said relationships."
"Exactly. You think you might find someone?"
"Maybe. You never know. I might start looking, but if it happens, it happens."
Vic nods her head in agreement.
"Good. Maybe he's moving on from me." she thinks to herself.
"Do we like this bassinet? It's on wheels and seems pretty basic. We don't need anything too fancy." Austin asks.
"Yeah, I like that. Seems perfect to me. Do we want to buy the stuff today and take it home, or order it?"
"Uh, we can order it. I don't think I'd have enough room in my trunk to put everything."
"Okie, that works. Let's take pictures of everything so we know what to order."
They go over to the furniture sets and right away Victoria spots a dresser/changing table she loves.
"Austin, look at this one! I really love the gold handles on this."
"Oh yeah, that's sharp. I like that."
"Let's just get this one then with the matching crib, which is 4-in-1?! Woah. That's so worth it. She can have this like her whole life if she wants to. Eventually she'd just make this into a bed."
"Bab-Vic, let's look at the others before settling." Austin almost called her babe, but caught himself before he did.
They continue to look at the sets, but nothing was speaking to them more than the 'Ava' set.
"Are you good with the 'Ava' one? Or do you want the 'Larkin' one?" Vic asks.
"I'm good with 'Ava'. I really like those handles too. What do you think, Auntie Ash?"
"I think it's a good choice." Ashley says. "I love the handles too. It's different."
"Alright, furniture is picked out then! What about a rocking chair?" Vic says.
"Oh yeah, let's look at those."
Victoria sits in one and practically melts into it. "Oh my god. Good luck getting me out of here. This is too comfy."
"Let me try it, Vic." Austin says to her.
"Okay, but you're gonna have to pull me up."
Austin grabs onto her hands and pulls her up.
"Already getting hard to get up?" Ashley asks.
"Sometimes, yeah. Depends on the seat. Also it's just really comfy & he'd have to pull me up anyways or else I'd just stay there for awhile."
"Okay, yeah. This is super comfy. Goodnight." Austin jokes, making himself comfortable, stretching his legs out onto the ottoman the chair comes with.
"I think that should be it. We'll look online at everything else and add it to our registry when we have the wallpaper & paint picked out."
They headed out of Pottery Barn Kids, and hit up some clothing stores to get some family members some gifts.
"I have to stop into Victoria's Secret to get some new bras. The girls are filling up with milk and are getting bigger. Also want to get some perfume for Mila." Victoria mentions.
"I'll go in with you. I should get some new panties." Ashley responds.
"I'll go into Barnes & Noble while you're doing that." Austin says.
"Alright, want us to meet you in there?" Vic asks.
"Yeah. I can kill a lot of time in there, so take your time. I'm sure it's hectic in there so it'll be awhile."
"Okay, sounds good."
"I'm going to drop my bags off in the car. Want me to take yours?" Austin asks the both of them.
"Yes, please." the girls say in almost unison.
Austin takes the bags from them and heads out to the car to drop them off, then heads to Barnes & Noble.
He starts at Starbucks inside the store, getting himself an oat milk latte before walking around the store, seeing what new books he could find.
He picks up a book he's been wanting to check out, "City on Fire" by Don Winslow, a couple others before heading over to the parenting books.
A worker stocking shelves in that section, female, average height, medium length blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and freckles, wearing a white button down with jeans, notices Austin looking intently into the back cover of one of the most popular parenting books.
"That's a good book, by the way. I mean, I assume so. It's a best seller in this section." the girl says.
"Oh, really?" he looks over to her.
"Yeah." she chuckles. "I've cashed out a few of those & have restocked it a couple of times."
"Well, I guess I'll get this one. I have one already, but wanted something different, that more goes over every little thing. The one I have is just super basic info. Thanks for the advice."
"No problem. I'm Juliet, by the way."
"Austin. That's a beautiful name for a beautiful girl." he holds out his hand to shake hers.
Juliet blushes, "Thank you. I thought that's who you were. Butler, right?"
"Haha, yeah. That's me."
"It's nice to meet you." she smiled.
"Nice to meet you, too." Austin smiles back.
I loved your new movie by the way. You were incredible. I took my grandma to see it as she loves Elvis, and she cried."
"Aw, that's so sweet. Thank you. You'll have to say hi to your grandma for me."
"I will."
"Or maybe, one day I could say hi to her myself? That's if you'd like to go on a date with me & we hit it off."
"I'd really like that." Juliet smiles. "You're not dating Victoria right? I just want to make sure."
"Oh, no. We're not."
"Okay, good. I did see the announcement you guys made, but I just wanted to make sure nothing had changed since."
"Yeah, we're still just friends and co-parents."
"That's great, because I'd really like to take you up on that date."
"How does tonight sound? I can pick you up when you're off work? Maybe get some take out & hang at my place?"
"Actually, that sounds perfect. I've been having to uber lately with my car being out of commission. I'm off at eight."
"Cool. I'll see you then. And I can give you a ride home later. Let's exchange numbers so if there's change of plans or anything."
"Yeah, let's do that."
Austin & Juliet exchange numbers and said their goodbyes so she could get back to work.
"Hey, Butler!" Vic calls out as she seems him when she walks in.
Austin turns around with a smile on his face & walks to them.
"What are you all smiley about?" she asks.
"I may have met a girl, and got her number, and set up a date with her for tonight. She's coming over to hang out & get take out. I hope that's okay with you."
"Oh, um, yeah. That's fine. I'll just hang in my room for the night & watch some chick flick Christmas movies."
"Perfect."
"So, who's this girl?" Ashley asks.
"Her name is Juliet. She works here in the store. She was stocking books in the parenting section and the book I was looking at, she had told me it's a best seller & we just got to talking a bit."
"Aw, that's good you met someone, Austin!" Ashley says.
"Yeah, that's great, Aus. Love that for you." Vic mentions.
"Thanks, guys. She seems really nice and she's insanely gorgeous. Blonde, blue eyes, so many freckles."
"Well, I'm sure we'll get to meet her & see her beauty for ourselves if it works out." Ashley says.
Austin cashes out at the register & they all head out to finish up their shopping trip.
By the time Vic & Austin drop off Ashley at her house & get home, there's not much time until he has to go out and get Juliet from work.
He takes his shopping bags into his room and puts them all in his walk in closet, then changes into black jeans and a blue button down shirt. He makes sure his hair looks good & sprays some cologne on before heading back out.
"Hey Vic, I'm about to go pick up Juliet, then we're stopping for food. Want something from whatever we get?" Austin asks her, stopping by her room.
"Oh, yeah. That'd be great. You know my usuals." Vic responds.
"Alright. I'll be back soon."
Austin heads out the door and drives back out to The Grove.
He sees Juliet waiting for him outside of the store.
"Hi!" She says getting in the car.
"Hey! How was the rest of your shift?"
"It was good! Just finished stocking and then put away the things people didn't want."
"Sounds easy enough. I'm glad you had a good day. No shitty customers? I know working retail on black Friday you can come across some crazies."
"I didn't have to deal with any, but my co-worker said there was this lady who thought these certain books we're half off but it was buy one get one half off. The lady would not give up on it, even though the sign was right."
"Damn. Not surprised though. I remember when my mom was working as an aesthetician, she would complain about clients not understanding the pricing and sales on the products they sold in the spa she worked at. Even my dad working in real estate would deal with 'Karen's'" he chuckled.
"Yeah, any kind of retail sucks. I can't wait to get out of it."
"What do you want to do when you get out?"
"Well, I really want to be a writer. Well, I am a writer, that has yet to be published. So, once I get published, and if I do well enough, I will leave retail."
"That's really cool. What genre do you write?"
"I write young adult romance, mainly. I've also written a romantic thriller. This girl is super obsessed with this married man, and she tries everything to get the wife out of the picture. I saw the movie 'The Crush' and was inspired. Have you seen that movie?"
"I don't think I have."
"This teen girl who is apart of a rich family, get's a really hot guy renting out their guest house. She gets a highly obsessive crush on him and tries to sabotage things in his life because she isn't getting what she wants, which is the guy."
"That sounds really interesting."
"We could watch that tonight if you want."
"Yeah, that'd be great." Austin smiles at her. "Any food recommendations?"
"Oh gosh, I'm not sure. What's good around your place?"
"Um, there's this really good Japanese place that has really good sushi."
"Ooo, that sounds good."
"Okay, we can do that then. If you want, you can look up their menu & see what you want, then I'll call them and order."
"Alright. What's it called?"
"Aji Ten."
Juliet looks up the menu & decides on what she wants, then Austin places the order.
They get to the restaurant with about ten minutes til their order is ready for pickup.
"So, Juliet. Tell me more about you." Austin says as they wait in the car.
"Okay. Um, I'm 27 years old. I'm from Anaheim-
Austin cuts her off, "Wait, you're from Anaheim? So am I!"
"Oh my gosh, really? That's so cool."
"Yeah, I grew up right by Disney Land & Knott's. My mom would take my sister & I all the time."
"We went a lot too! We probably crossed paths at some point."
"Probably! What else is there about you?"
"Hm, well you know where I work and what I want to do for a living. I have 2 older brothers & a baby sister, my parents are divorced."
"My parents we're divorced too."
"We're?"
"Yeah. My mom, passed away, when I was 23. They divorced when I was 12, I believe."
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry Austin. That must have been so rough. I can't imagine going through them divorcing and then having to go through losing your mom. I can't imagine losing a parent."
"Thank you. It's definitely gotten better, but I still miss her a lot."
"Oh, I'm sure."
"Looks like the food should be about ready. I'll go in and get it. Be right back."
Austin goes inside and picks up the food, then they head back to the house.
"Welcome to my humble abode. Make yourself comfortable." Austin says, leading into the house.
They go into the kitchen and see Victoria unpacking bags and sorting the new baby stuff in the living room, which is connected to the kitchen.
"Oh, hey Vic. This Juliet. Juliet, this is Victoria." Austin says.
Victoria waves, "Oh, hi! Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too." Juliet says.
"I'll be right back, I'm going to use the bathroom." Austin says. "Vic, we got Aji Ten. I got your usual, small miso soup & Cali roll with extra avocado."
"Perfect. Thanks, Aus."
"You're welcome!" He calls out as he heads to the bathroom.
Victoria looks over Juliet as she takes some plush bunnies out of a bag, watches her as she looks around the house waiting for Austin to get back. She sees Juliet take off her jacket and unbutton more of her top to reveal clevage.
"Horny bitch." Victoria let's her thoughts slip out of her mouth.
"Hm?" Julia asks, being caught off guard.
Vic looks down at the plush bunnies and starts talking for them, playing it off. "No, you're a horny bitch! Nooo, you're a horny bitch!" she laughs it off nervously.
Juliet laughs nervously as well, playing along.
"I'm back! Let's get this food." Austin says walking into the kitchen.
"I guess I'll grab my soup and sushi, & get out of your guy's hair." Vic says.
She gets up and grabs her food, along with a Sprite from the fridge.
"Have a good night, guys. Nice meeting you." Victoria says nervously before heading off to her room.
"What the hell just came out of my mouth?" she thought to herself.
She sat down at her desk, and propped up her phone to Facetime Mila as she ate.
"Hey girl, what's up?" Mila answers.
"Austin has a girl over."
"He has what now?"
"A girl. A really hot one too."
"Oh my. Do you think he's over you now that he's met someone?"
"God, I hope so. But you know what I did? You know what I fucking did?"
"What?"
"I was watching her look around the house while Austin was in the bathroom, and she took off her jacket, then she unbuttoned her top more to show off cleavage."
"Okay, and?"
"Then I just out of no where, blurted out, "Horny bitch."
"You didn't...."
"I did. Thankfully I was holding these plush bunnies we got for the baby and I played it off as they were fighting on who's the horny bitch."
"Wait, why is that funny?" Mila laughs.
"Oh my god, stop. It was so embarrassing. Like why did I just blurt that out?"
"Maybe he's over you, but you aren't over him. Kinda sounds like jealously." Mila takes a sip of wine.
"Is that wine?"
"Mhm."
"Lucky. I can't wait to drink again. Gonna be pumping and dumping when we go have a much needed girls night out after this pregnancy."
"Oh, yes. Once your body is up for it, we'll go and get LIT."
"Please, I need. But, let's not go to that one club though where we went for the cast parties. It's been Eliana's hangout."
"Oh, yeah. We'll go somewhere else."
"But back to you saying it sounds like jealousy. I am not jealous."
"You sure? Because I don't think you'd call the new girl Austin is seeing a horny bitch for showing off her titties a bit."
"I'm sure."
"Oookayy. If you say so."
"It was probably just pregnancy brain."
"Mhm."
"I'm not jealous."
"Uh-huh. What does she look like?"
"She's about my height, blonde hair, blue eyes, freckles."
"She sounds cute. What's her name? I wanna look her up."
"Juliet. I don't know her last name. She works at Barnes & Noble."
"Got it."
"That was quick."
"Eh, I've always been good at finding people. You know, before I got into acting, I was kind of a geek and was really good at tech stuff."
"Really? I don't think I knew that."
"Yeah. I worked at Best Buy once upon a time, selling computers."
"Wow. I don't think you ever brought it up."
"Mhm. Anyways, she is pretty. Her last name is Moreno. She's from Anaheim. Big family. Italian."
"Damn, you're good."
"Aren't I?" Mila flips her hair.
"Austin's from Anaheim. I'm sure they've bonded over that."
Mila gives Vic an eyebrow raise.
"What?"
"Jealousy, jealousy."
"Stooopppp, I am not!"
"Okay, okay. But are you sure?"
"Oh my god, yes Mila."
In the morning....
Vic walks into the kitchen to see Juliet wearing Austin's Mighty Ducks muscle tank, revealing some side boob.
"Good morning." Juliet says to Vic, as she makes herself a cup of coffee.
"Morning."
"Would you like some coffee?"
"Oh, no. That's okay. I can't have much caffeine and I usually just have a protein shake in the morning. Thanks though."
"No problem. I really hope we didn't get off on a rough spot..."
"Oh, because of what I said? That wasn't-
"Victoria, I saw you looking at me when you said it. I could tell it was about me."
"Listen, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I didn't even realize I said it until it was too late."
"You would have thought it either way though, right?"
"I don't know, but I'm sorry."
"I just hope you know that's not my intention with Austin."
"Good to know. Speaking of, where is he?"
"He's still in bed."
"No, I'm not. Good morning, ladies." Austin says as he walks in, shirtless in just his underwear.
"Good morning." Juliet smiles at him.
He kisses her sweetly. "I had a lot of fun last night."
"Me too." she giggles.
Victoria lowkey rolls her eyes & grabs a protein shake from the fridge and a banana off the counter, and goes to sit in the living room.
"I'll be heading out soon. I have to work in an hour and a half, and I want to stop at home first to get ready." Juliet says to Austin.
"Alright, sweetheart. Want me to give you a ride home?"
"No, that's okay. My roommate is going to pick me up on her way back from her hair appointment."
"Okay, sounds good."
When Juliet was leaving, Austin was saying his goodbyes.
"Call me?" he asks.
"You know I will."
He kisses her & sparks fly. Maybe he is over his feelings for Vic.

Sleepy Time Tea - Bucky Barnes x fem!reader
Pairing: Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier x fem!Reader (tfatws era)
Word Count: 2011
Warnings: Swearing, fluff, honestly just a self indulgent fic about drinking weird tea with Bucky
(note: I stole the reader’s powers from Vic Neuman from The Boys, just an fyi lol)
It was safe to say that you were pretty weird (from an outsider’s perspective, anyway). You had abnormal interests, strange hobbies and even stranger morals. So you were relatively surprised when The Falcon himself begged for you to join his ‘team’ to stop the Flag Smashers.
“Sam told me you’ve been having trouble sleeping?” you ask, perched on the worktop beside Bucky as he poured himself a coffee.
“S’none of your business,” he mutters, turning his back to you and shuffling over to the sofa.
“I’m here to help, you know,” you start, sliding off of the counter and joining him on the other end of the sofa, pulling your legs to your chest. “I know Sam asked me here to, you know, pop some heads,” you pause, catching his eye in bemusement.
“I could do what you do. It’s called a bullet to the head,” a dry laugh escapes his lips, shaking his head as he takes a sip of his coffee.
“Exploding someone’s skull with your mind is a bit more fun though, right?” you laugh in response. “There’s no subtle way to shoot someone in the head. Think of me as your own, personal gun. With a super silencer.”
“What was your point?” Bucky breathes, finally turning his head to face you, an annoyed expression on his face.
“Right, yeah,” you laugh. “Don’t judge me-”
“I can’t promise anything,” he cuts you off.
“Don’t judge me. I have some herbal stuff-”
“I’m not getting stoned with you, (y/n).”
“Let me fucking finish!” you exclaim, launching a cushion at his face, although he easily catches it and rests it on his lap.
He gestures his hand for you to continue, attempting to hide the small smirk on his face.
“I’m really into tea.”
As soon as the words leave your mouth, his face drops and he gets up from the sofa, throwing the cushion back to you. 
“I don’t want your stupid fucking sleepy time tea.”
You look down as the door slams - understandable.
-------------
The evening’s mission had gone, honestly, beyond wrong. 
Sam and Bucky had been recognised almost immediately, leaving you and Zemo to hunt down the man you were looking for.
In theory, it should have been simple. But Zemo was adamant for you to show him your powers which, above all else, was just distracting.
“Not now, Zemo.” you had said, turning to him with a stern expression on your face. “We find the guy, he talks, I blow his head up. Sound good?”
“Yes ma’am,” he smiled.
That should have been the end of it. 
Zemo persisted.
You’d caught sight of your target, taking hold of Zemo’s wrist and moving through the crowd, your eyes never leaving the man you were here to find.
“Ooh, (y/n), what about this guy? He’s being a bit, how would you say, pervy?”
“Oh my god, Zemo.” you stopped in your tracks and turned to him, your body filled with rage. “Shut the fuck up!”
Before he could even begin to think of a response, you were interrupted by screams.
Screams coming from the direction of your target
“Oh, fuck.” you breathed.
---------------
“You head popped our target?” Sam exclaims. “What the fuck happened?”
Your eyes move from Sam to Zemo, shooting daggers at his smug face.
“What? We were going to kill him anyway, yes?” he smiles.
“He had crucial information. We needed him alive.” Sam exhales, an unimpressed expression on his face.
Bucky throws himself on to the sofa, a large sigh escaping his mouth as he covers his face with his hands.
“You two are the worst.” he mutters.
“Why couldn’t you just let (y/n) do her thing?” Sam asks, raising his arms in exasperation.
“I did!”
“No,” he pauses. “No. She was going to make him talk. You didn’t need to piss her off.”
Zemo glances at you, a smirk on his face as he takes a step towards you.
“Can you blame me? Surely any man would want to witness such a gift in person.”
“You’re lucky I didn’t pop your head.” you say, falling onto the sofa behind you.
Your whole body aches from exhaustion and you want nothing more than your bed or, in this case, a random bed in your current hideout.
You sit in silence as Sam and Zemo argue (or rather, Sam berates Zemo), occasionally casting your eyes to Bucky’s unmoving figure on the opposite end of the couch.
After a while, the shouting stops and Sam storms out of the apartment, with Zemo skulking off to his own bedroom.
Both you and Bucky remain in your respective spots, and you’re convinced that you can feel Bucky’s eyes on you every so often.
It’s only when you eventually sit up that you finally catch his gaze.
“Give me some of your stupid tea.”
Shocked, you jump out of your seat, bringing your hands together.
“Really?” you say, careful to control your volume to avoid disturbing Zemo.
Bucky stands up, suddenly towering over you, resting a hand on your shoulder.
“Just don’t poison me.”
A small squeal of excitement escapes your lips as you scurry over to the kitchenette, Bucky in tow.
You swing one of the cupboard doors open, reaching to the back for your tub of assorted herbs and loose leaf teas.
“I’m telling you now, Bucky,” you start, turning to him, holding the box out to him. “This is probably one of the only things I’m actually passionate about.”
“Tea?” he questions, slowly taking the plastic tub from your hands. “You’re a loser. No offence.”
“None taken,” you shrug. “Only because you’re right.”
You rummage through the cupboards in search of any kind of tea strainer, instead finding an infuser teapot.
“Aha!” you exclaim as you pull the teapot out of the cupboard. “This is perfect.”
Bucky pulls open the tub before gently placing it on the countertop beside you.
“Thanks,” you say in an almost whisper before you begin digging through your collection of herbs. 
Bucky takes his spot beside you, leaning his back against the counter’s edge, silently watching you carefully take spoonfuls of each ingredient. His eyes never leave you, moving from your hands to your face.
“Do you want to help?” you ask, a gentle smile on your face.
He quickly nods, turning to face the worktop alongside you.
“Okay,” you hum. “Could you find the valerian root for me? It’s labelled, it’ll be in one of those brown pouches.”
“Gotcha,” he says before beginning his search. 
Bucky finds the packet only a minute later, gently unsealing the top to get a look.
Before you can warn him, the root’s aroma fills his nostrils, a look of complete and utter disgust spreading across his face.
“I’m not ingesting that,” Bucky states, holding the small bag as far away from his face as possible. “It smells like literal belly button.”
You open your mouth in feign offence, giving his shoulder a gentle, backhanded slap.
“Hey!” he exclaims, matching your energy. “You smell it if it’s really not that bad!”
Before you can act in defence, he forces the pouch into your face, the smell taking over all of your senses. 
You snatch the bag from his hand, careful not to let any of the root escape as you place it back on the side.
The two of you remain in a comfortable silence as you gently place the remainder of the ingredients into the strainer.
“Do you want to go and sit down?” you ask as you pour the freshly boiled water into the teapot. “It needs a little time to brew.”
Bucky silently agrees, nodding his head before crossing the room towards the sofa.
Turning back to the teapot, you hear Bucky collapse onto the couch as you stir the liquid, all kinds of colours leaking into the water.
While you wait, you pull two large mugs from the cupboard. You hook your finger through the handles before taking hold of the teapot into your other hand, carefully carrying everything over to the coffee table in front of Bucky.
“I could have helped carry that, you know,” he says as you place the tea set down on the surface.
“It’s no problem, Bucky,” you smile.
He leans closer to the coffee table, gently lifting a mug and pulling it closer to his face, the steam soothing his tired skin.
“I picked out my favourites for you,” you start. “These ones always put me to sleep,” you laugh.
He smiles at you for you to continue, taking a small smell of the tea as he does so. 
“So it’s valerian root, chamomile, lavender and vervain.” you say, a look of concentration on your face as you make sure to remember every ingredient. “I’d usually add mugwort for some funky dreams but I, uh, I’ve heard about your dreams. Best to avoid that.”
“Good call,” he laughs.
Returning back to your previous quiet, the two of you begin to drink your tea.
You can’t help but watch his face, looking out for any sort of reaction to the drink. 
Eventually, his face softens and he gradually takes more and more sips until the mug is completely empty. You’re not long behind him, tilting your mug to get every last drop before placing it back onto the coffee table.
“That,” he starts, putting his mug beside yours. “That wasn’t awful.”
You look at him with a smile, although a glimpse of disbelief must have flashed across your face as he continues. 
“I mean it, (y/n). It was nice,” he smiles. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, Buck.”
Bucky adjusts himself, leaning his back against the side of the sofa, one leg tucked under the other.
You watch his face once more as he sits in deep thought, debating whether to tell you whatever it is that he’s thinking.
“You’ve never called me Buck before,” he whispers.
“Oh shit, I’m sorry,” you whisper back, guilt lacing your voice as you shuffle in place anxiously. “I overstepped, I’m so sorry.”
He lets out a gentle chuckle before tilting his head back, resting it on the edge of the sofa’s armrest.
“I like it,” he breathes, so quietly that if you weren’t paying attention you wouldn’t have heard him. 
A soft yet embarrassed breath escapes your mouth as you lean deeper into the sofa, your knee lightly brushing against his.
Your eyes flutter as you sink further into the sofa and you can’t stop yourself from falling ever so slightly into the man beside you.
---------------
The sound of someone clattering around in the kitchen pulls you from, quite possibly, the best night’s sleep you’ve ever had. You attempt to sit up, but a weight around your waist halts you, keeping you locked into place.
That place being Bucky’s arms.
Fuck.
You make another attempt to free yourself from his grasp, only to be pulled tighter into his chest. Shuffling some more in an effort to wake him, the soft sounds of your body against the sofa attract the attention of someone else.
Zemo peers over the back of the sofa, a please grin on his face.
“I see you two are finally starting to get along,” he smirks. “I have to say, I’ve never seen that man sleep so soundly before.” 
Zemo reaches across you to Bucky’s flesh arm, giving him a poke. 
“Like a baby,” he laughs when Bucky still doesn’t react. “I’ll leave you two lovebirds in peace,” he winks, waltzing back towards his room.
“Buck,” you say, your voice barely above a whisper as you tap whichever parts of his body you can reach. “Buck.”
A sound of complaint leaves his mouth as he pulls you closer once again before his eyes begin to open.
“Buck?”
“I’m up, I’m awake,” he whispers, his grasp on you slowly loosening as his body comes back to life. 
You pull yourself out of his grip as he begins to sit up, rubbing his head with his free hand.
“I think it’s safe to say that your tea works.”
