AU End Game

[protivvyter]

Gone.

Steve, Vision, Wanda, T'Challa, Scott, Sam... all gone. It creates an ache in his chest even two years on. The damned racoon lost so many other people too. Thor has fucked off to places unknown. They could track him down, but Bucky always has a feeling that he needs left alone, more than anyone.

Tony has a new baby girl. Morgan. They don't bother him. He'd made it very clear that he wanted nothing to do with any of them now. He has his life, and that's enough. Still, Bucky had gone to see the baby and leave a gift, when they were at the hospital. He'd said nothing to anyone. Tony had been down getting a coffee, Pepper had been asleep. He'd just left his little gift, without a name on it and gone.

Rhodey is off, trying to keep the country together, even though everyone is still panicking.

It's just him... and her. She's taken this worse than any of them. Even with the expansion of their little family to include a racoon, Okoye, and Carol, it doesn't fill the ache of all of the others being gone.

They don't know where Clint is, though it wouldn't be hard to find him. They have a lot of information at their fingertips. Just not enough to bring people back.

She's not herself, and he's not himself. He knows that. Their little family, formed in fire, is wrecked, all because of a bastard who decided he knew better.

He stops in the doorway, looking at her. He's carrying actual food in his hands. Not take out, not her peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that she makes then abandons.

"Hey." He says, softly. "You should eat." He knows that trying to force her to do anything is not the way to approach her. She's skittish, and that makes it hard. But, he's not going to abandon her. There's too much at stake.

He definitely wasn't alone in the feeling. She'd just never acted on it because... well for a lot of reasons. They had a bit of a history, what with each trying to kill the other at varying points. Of course she'd forgiven him but still. She also hadn't wanted to risk making things awkward with Steve. But... well, now there were no excuses left and no reason why they shouldn't give in to their needs and desires.

She groans when he tugs her hair, letting him tug her backwards. One of her hands buried in his hair as he sucked at her nipple. It felt so incredible, so perfect. She cried out in pleasure.

[protivvyter]

Their history is complicated, just like history with anyone else. Theirs a bit more so because guns and other weapons had been involved. But, and he'll never admit this, the shot in Odessa had hurt him. It had snapped him out of being the Winter Soldier for just a millisecond and he'd been horrified at what he'd done... but then the programming had washed over him and he'd forgotten once again.

But this, this he will never foget. The smell, the taste, the everything of her. She cries out and he pants, watching her. Men are dogs, and he licks a stripe up her breastbone to prove it.

[ms_unknown]

She moans, rotating her hips as she rises him. She won't last much longer, but she's determined to get as much out of it as she can.

"Shit... Bucky!"

She cries out, feeling her body start to tense as the orgasm builds. She wants everything. She wants to feel him against her, inside her, in every way possible. They can relearn how to be human together, using sex to unlock emotions they'd tucked away.

It's better than therapy.

If he's a dog, maybe he should fuck her from behind next. His tongue lapping over her skin brings another cry from her. She clutches at him, clinging as she loses the rhythm of her movement. So close.

[protivvyter]

She's close, he's just as close. He's not going to last long. Shit, he's not sure he's going to last long enough.

He brings her close, cradling her against his body. He drops a kiss on her shoulder and licks at the sweat on her skin. "Let go, Natalia. I've got you." He whispers. He'll never let her go now. Not when all this... No. He won't. Never will he let her go.

He keeps moving, pressing her ever closer and closer to that edge.

[ms_unknown]

She wraps her arms around him, closing her eyes and burying her face in his neck. Her cries are muffled as she presses kisses to his skin, tasting him.

"Bucky..." She gasps. It only takes a few more thrusts to send her screaming over the edge. She throwd her head back, her back bowing as she comes.

[protivvyter]

She comes. Her orgasm just makes her impossibly more beautiful in his arms. He can't believe that they've come this far, and yet, her muscles begin milking him and drive him over that edge. He growls out her name into her throat and his arms tighten on her.

Bucky is panting harshly against her skin, knowing that this shouldn't change anything, but it will. He's not naive enough to think it won't. But he shuts that part of his brain and just holds her as she quivers.

[ms_unknown]

She relaxed into his embrace, melting into him. Her breathing still comes as ragged gasps as she lightly kisses his neck. She never expected this would happen. But she's definitely not complaining.

She smiles, in no rush to move. "I suppose I should thank you for lunch."

[protivvyter]

Bucky's laugh is wispy, deep and breathy. He's trying to catch his breath at the same time as just collapsing back against the bed. "It was dinner." He says, amused.

He pulls her down, and kisses her gently. "But who cares?" He says, with a smile.

[ms_unknown]

She laughs, letting him pull her down with him. "Was it? Shit." Of course, the days were all bleeding together and it wasn't always easy to judge the passage of time from within the compound so she isn't too surprised her internal clock is off.

Smiling against his lips, she settles against him. "Mmm true. I sure as hell don't. Not right now, at least."

[protivvyter]

He chuckles again. "Glad I could distract you a bit." He teases, combing through her hair. She deserves so much better than this life they've chosen.

He leans up and kisses her. "Of course, if Rhodey sees the clothes everywhere, he'll probably complain. In the morning." Because Rhodey? Is a bro.
