Only Shadows (Bucky Barnes x OC)

Never Knowing

I'm quite excited for this one been researching some stuff on Norse Gods etc to get some context for this one so in short Lofn is a Norse Goddess and Sigyn is also a goddess who has appeared in Marvel before

I DO MY RESEARCH

Enjoy :)

Some days it was hard to tell that I had woken up. I dreamed of darkness and woke to darkness. I did have remnants of sight that remained as I could still see light and see shadows moving through the light. It was just often terrifying that I couldn't always tell who's shadow I was seeing.

I sat up in my bed feeling the silk sheets under my fingertips and could make out it was daytime by the faint light from the sun from the window.

I heard a knock at the door and cleared my throat "Come in," I announced in a tone that made me sound as I had not just woken up and I was ready for the day.

I heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps enter the room "Hello Lofn, my dear,"

My heart leapt "Loki?" I reached out into the darkness around the door and I heard his footsteps quicken and felt him sit on the bed and pull me into an embrace.

"You're back, it's really you?" I asked running my fingers through his long hair.

He chuckled into my shoulder "Yes it is and I have missed you very much,"

"As have I," I murmured pulling away feeling his face with my hands it was the only way I could 'see' his face.

I felt him smile and holding my hand against his cheek. I beamed in response, it often broke my heart that I'd never be able to see him. I knew that if I did he'd be the ones who would paint colours before my eyes, I truly did.

I had asked Loki time and time again if he had seen colour yet but his response was always no. Once we made eye contact with the one who is our soulmate the black and white world would erupt with colour.It did make my heart hurt somewhat but there was a small part of me that hoped he was lying to spare my feelings to fact I couldn't also share that experience.

I felt his face and focused and felt his emotions flood through my veins. The joyful nature but mixed with that hint of mischief.

"I do hope you didn't cause chaos on Midgard again," I murmured pulling my hands away and interlocking my fingers on my lap.

I knew he was furrowing his brow at that statement "I thought you promised me to not to invade in my private emotions again,"

I gave a half smile "You know I can't always help it and let's be honest Loki I'm blind to virtually everything else so let me have this,"

He sighed and I heard his head hit the pillow "There weren't...as many casualties as last time,"

I groaned "Loki we've been through this, all everyone else sees of you as is the villainous god of mischief, I'm the only one who doesn't have to witness that side and only feels the good in you and I know for a fact that you do not enjoy hurting people,"

He shifted "I have something for you,"

I scowled "Don't change the subject Loki,"

I felt him place something in my hands "I bought you a book back from Miguard, I had the scribes translate it to Braille for you, I know you've read every book Asgard that I've had translated for you so I thought you'd want something new,"

I grasped the book in my hands and felt the cover I could feel the embossed lettering and just about make it out "Fra....Frank...Frankenstein?"

"Indeed it's a story about a man named Victor Frankenstein who creates a monster following his grief of his mothers passing, I thought you'd like it since you've always appreciated the Asgardian ghost stories,"
