God, I hate You

i sighed, drumming my fingers against the table beside me, trying not to look up at bucky who was sitting opposite me. he looked just as uncomfortable as i was.
"now, you two are gonna talk it out and that door's not opening until you do" steve instructed, pointing between bucky and i.
nothing bad had happened, he was definitely overreacting. yes yes maybe a few death threats were thrown between us, and loki's dagger nearly met bucky's leg but steve had interjected before it could've happened.

"oh come on" i whined, looking at pietro who stood beside steve. he gave me a sympathetic smile before walking out the room,
"look as much as i'd love to talk to a wall all
night, i have plans, such as sleeping. have you seen the time?" i explained to steve as i stood up checking my watch, he pushed my shoulders down and watched as i fell back into my seat.
"better get a move on then" he smiled, patting my shoulder before walking out. i audibly groaned, cursing under my breath. bucky said a few words too, mostly just profane language.

we said nothing to each other. not one word. the only sound that could be heard was the ticking of a clock and my fingers drumming against the table. it continued like this for around fifteen minutes, just pure, painful silence. around twenty minutes in, we made eye contact with each other. but not the sort you'd think. he glared at me and i glared back, silently telling him to stop being a pussy bitch and jump at me. during the five minutes of staring, i don't even think that man blinked. bucky just stared at me if i was some mutant and i stared at him as if he was a piece of shit, which he is.

"stop staring at me" he murmured, his eyes still glued to mine. i leaned my head in one of my hands, not looking away from him,
"you started it" i replied. he looked away from me and scoffed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"god you're impossible to talk to" he sighed, i raised an eyebrow,
"and you're not?" i scoffed, narrowing my eyes at him.
"if you'd stop fucking talking all of my problems would be solved" he mumbled. so i did, i kept my mouth shut. five minutes or so had passed and i knew that this was going no where. i got up from my seat, just as i was about to walk to the door, bucky stood up and pressed his back against it. keeping it shut.
"where the hell are you going?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"pretty self explanatory" i replied, looking at the door. he shook his head, biting onto his bottom lip slightly,
"no, sit down" he instructed, nodding towards my empty seat. i chuckled harshly,
"why?" i asked, squinting at him.
"because i want to resolve this fucking thing okay y/n?" he whispered angrily, taking a step towards me. i took a step forward, my chest pushing slightly against his,
"then we can resolve this fucking thing whilst standing" i whispered back. a small smirk teased at his lips,
"go on then barnes" i nodded, waiting for him to speak. he shuffled around slightly, clearly not knowing what to say.

"that's what i thought" i chuckled, shaking my head as i pushed past him and opened the door. steve and pietro stood outside with their ears pressed against the door, the two of them jumped when i walked out,
"what is this high school? i scoffed, looking between the eavesdroppers. i wished the two a goodnight and began walking to my room, silently praying that loki wasn't passed out on the floor.
"y/l/n come on" bucky shouted from across the hall, "look, the only reason i said that shit was because-because i was annoyed" he spluttered. i silently sighed to myself and looked back,
"come back to me when you're ready to tell the truth barnes" i said in the fakest voice i had, before turning around.

"jesus loki" i groaned, staring at the passed out god who lay sprawled out on my bed unconscious. i shoved him slightly to the side, to free up some space for myself before jumping in beside him.

a few hours passed, i was so tired, but i couldn't sleep. i had a weird feeling in my stomach, maybe it was cause i had been so hostile to bucky, but he had acted the same. just as i was about to close my eyes to fall asleep, there was a knock at the door. i got up slowly and made my way over, pulling the door open slightly to see bucky standing there, a bouquet of flowers clutched tightly in his hand.
