2 Romeos & 1 Juliet

Part 7

"Doll, you awake?"

Your eyes fluttered open as you hear a familiar voice bring you back to reality. Your mind is foggy, erased as last night didn't even happen. But, since you did have some heightened abilities, you were able to remember certain moments.

You remembered Bucky walking you to your room, then he undressed you and then he was on top of you, shirtless. Then Steve was on top of you, giving you to Thor. As you walked past, Bucky was all bloody, and you were in lingerie.

As you remembered everything that your mind allowed, you realised who was sitting on the end of the bed. Bucky.

Immediately, you tensed up, crawling on the bed as far away as possible. You couldn't go and attack him because you were hooked up to a bunch of machines, beeping your heartbeat and giving you IV. You didn't want this man to hurt you, touch you or do anything to you. Your mind was filled with fear and rage. Your breathing was hitched, becoming erratic as the seconds continued. Your hands were frozen in fear.

"Woah, doll, calm down." Bucky soothed. "I only want to talk, ok?"

You were still afraid, so you were not moving an inch. You barely blinked, seeing if he was going to do anything.

Bucky sighed, knowing he might not get a response out of you. If sadness was a color, that would be the color of his eyes right now. He combed his metal fingers through his hair before explaining himself to you.

"Before I begin, what do you remember about last night?"

"You and I went on a date, for the bet. We went to a diner and then we danced. When we got home, you walked me to my room and undressed me. Then, you were almost naked and on top of me. But then Steve took me and then Thor took me here." you recited.

"Ok, this might be confusing for you, but that wasn't me," Bucky said.

Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion, giving him a look. You were biting your bottom lip, a habit that you had whenever you were nervous.

"No, that was you," you said.

"Ok. Remember when I wasn't feeling good earlier that day? You said we could cancel and I agreed?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I didn't leave my room the whole day," Bucky stated.

"How?" you asked. "You took me on a date. Hell, you tried to rape me!"

Bucky sighed again, in annoyance for how oblivious you were being. You should know that Bucky, the real Bucky, would never in any way try to hurt you, let alone rape you. But he couldn't comprehend how easily you believed it was him. He couldn't let this one memory ruin his chances, let alone his friendship with you.

"Y/N, I was drugged, just like you were. With the exact same drug. I was out for the whole day. The Bucky that took you on the date was Loki. He was disguised as me." Bucky explained, his voice raising as he explained himself.

You were trying to comprehend what he was saying. Everything that happened last night was so discombobulated that you had a hard time knowing what to believe. What happened last night felt like a chapter in a mystery book, the climax that everyone was waiting for. You just happened to be the victim.

"How do I know you're not Loki right now? How do I know you're not lying to me?" you asked, fear laced into your voice.

Bucky raked his fingers through his hair before he told you it all. It was definitely not going to be easy to explain. How do you tell someone, 'oh yeah, the guy that was me that tried to rape you wasn't me?' Bucky was racking his brain for something, one sentence to just say, 'it wasn't me, can we pretend this never happened?'
