Osculation ~ the act of kissing

A few days later

Bucky Barnes POV

"Is she alive?" Stark asks.

Steve replies, looking at his sleeping sister, "Honestly I don't know. She always sleeps like a log. But I swear sometimes she's dead, not asleep. I can never tell the difference."

I stand in the back, a knife stuck to the wall next to me. We have been trying to wake her up for the past 20 minutes and she doesn't wake up. She threw a knife when we tried, resulting the one next to my head.

Steve shakes Thea, "WAKE UP!"

She shoved him away, turning in bed and facing me, her eyes still closed.

I admire her features, she was gorgeous. Her long, silky blondish brown hair, soft blue eyes, her strong cheekbones, full pink lips, button nose.

I walk over to her, "Rogers. Wake up."

She opens her blue eyes, glaring at me, "What the fuck do you want? Leave me the hell alone. I'm sleeping."

I roll my eyes, "It's 3pm."

She ignores me and closes her eyes, going back to sleep. Steve shakes his head, "Okay that's it."

He physically drags Thea out of the bed, who was moaning and whining, "Ughhhh. I wanna sleeeeeeep."

Steve drags her across the bedroom floor, "I'm gonna keep doing this until you shut up."

She closes her mouth and glares. Steve stops dragging her around like a rag doll and she gets up. Tony starts snickering. She grabs the knife next to me and chucks it next to Tony's ear.

Tony ducks, "Jesus woman!"

She shrugs and smirks, "I'm gonna go get ready."

And with that, she walks out of the room, her hips swaying. I shake my head. I can't fall for her. She's Steve's sister. Plus, she hates me for leaving her there.

I sigh. I need a distraction.

Thea Rogers POV

Flashback, June 8, 1938

"PLEASE I DONT KNOW ANYTHING PLEASE," I cry and scream.

The doctor, Dr Zola, sighs, "I don't think she knows anything Herr Schmidt. She is nothing."

Schmidt sighs in irritation, "Very well then. If she is nothing, we will make her something. We train her, maybe 8 years or so, and when the brainwashing machine is ready and her training is finished, we turn her into HYDRA. I have a good feeling she can be useful if we cryofreeze her."

My eyes widen. I had no idea what they were talking about but it sounded scary. I wanted to say something but I was too tired.

A man approaches me and grabs me by my forearm harshly. He drags me into a cell, throwing me in.

I huddled up into one of the corners and tried to fall asleep, distracting myself from the pain by looking at the cell bars.

Back to normal

"Your leg should be healed by now," Bruce says, removing the bandages.

I smile, "Thanks Bruce. I can finally train."

He chuckles slightly and I go up to the training floor.

Bucky was there, punching a dummy. Tony had gotten special dummies for Steve and Bucky, due to their serums.

I walk over to the punching bags, putting gloves on my hands.

After a few minutes Bucky walks over to me, "Wanna fight?"

"Sure," I shrug, "But don't cry if you lose."

I may not have some super serum, but I am a lot stronger than one may think.

He rolls his eyes and leads me to one of the mats, "We'll see doll."

The simple name sent butterflies in my stomach and I swallow them down, "Just start."

I throw my fist at his face and he grabs it, twisting it. I twist it back forward, flipping him over. He trips me with his foot, sending me sprawled on my back. He jumps onto me, my body between he legs, and he puts an arm on my neck, "I win."

"Only because you have super serum," I roll my eyes. I try to get up but he doesn't move. Instead, he looks at my lips, still pinning me to the ground.

I crash my lips against him, catching him off guard. Our tongues move in sync and he moves the arm from my neck, running it through my hair. I flip him over so his back was on the mat. I break apart and grin, my hand pressed against his neck, "I win."

I get off of him and he groans, "Really Thea?"

I turn around, walking away from him backwards, "Aw what do you have a little crush on me Barnes?"

He doesn't say anything.

I leave the place, going to the kitchen.

Do I like him?

No.

Right?

Yeah.

Wait.

Maybe?

Ah shit.

"Nat!" I tell her what happened.

"Oh damn," she takes a sip of her wine.

"What do I do?" I ask her.

"Talk to him. There's really nothing else. Does Steve know?"

"Does Steve know what?" Stevie walks in.

Fuck my life.

"Does Stevie know nothing? Yes, because he's an idiot," I grin.

See? I'm a freakin genius. I covered so well. Cue the sarcasm.

He rolls his eyes, "Truth. Now."

I look at Nat and take a deep breath, "I may or may not like Bucky."

"You what? No," he says.

I tilt my head, "Excuse me? No?"

He sighs, "You know what I mean."

"No I don't think I do. Who are you to tell me who the hell I can date? You may be my older brother but I decide who I sleep with, Steven."

"Thea, he's not good for you. He may be my best friend but he takes a different girl home every night. I was friends with him for a hundred years. I just want to look out for you."

"Thanks but I'm fine," I walk away.

I decide to annoy Tony, who was in his lab, "Watcha doin'?"
"Nothing much. But there is a party tomorrow," Tony tells me.

"Didn't we have a party just a few days ago?"

"Exactly. A few days is too long."

I roll my eyes, "Okay thanks."

Steve was right. I knew that. I couldn't be with Bucky. Things would be way too complicated. Plus, he's too good for me. Why the hell would anyone want to date me? I'm like, a broken glass, I want to feel whole again, but nothing can fix me. People try to help me, clean me up, but I just hurt them. I'm nothing but a disturbance unless someone needs me as a weapon.

Bucky deserved better than someone like me.
