Your heart stopped in your chest as you listened to Steve and Bucky go off on Natasha. You never thought that they would realize, that they would snap out of the spell she had put them under. What had been the tipping point? What made them realize? And why hadn't you telling that you only had eyes for them enough?

Bucky crossed the room as Natasha stormed off, falling to his knees in front of you. "Y/N, baby, I'm so sorry," he said, reaching out for your hand.

Reluctantly, you let him take it. "Buck—"

"I'm so fuckin' sorry. Don't know why I let her get in my bed. You, you're so fuckin' amazin' and I'm so sorry, please, let me make it up to you," he begged.

Steve came up behind him, his blue eyes sad. "We're both sorry. I, I can never forgive myself for the way I treated you, for thinking so lowly of you. And I, we, understand if you've moved on—"

"I have moved on." You looked between them. "I'm with Loki. Boys, you...You couldn't have expected me to wait for you. You really broke my heart."

Bucky slowly nodded. "I...I hope you know I'll always love you."

"Part of me will always love you, too," you confessed. "But, after what you did, after you let her into our bed before ever trying to make things right between us...I don't know if I can ever forgive you."

"You don't have to," Loki cooed, pressing a kiss to the side of your head. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to, my love." He turned to the boys, his eyes colder. "If I had it my way, you would have no place in her life. You're lucky I would even let you be near her after what you did."

"Loki, it's okay," you said, patting his leg. To the boys, you said, "We...I don't even think we can be friends now. I can't look at either of you without my heart aching."

Loki rose to his feet, holding his hand out for you to take. You took it, standing, too, pulling your other hand away from Bucky, who let out a low whimper. "Come on, my love. I think it's time we turn in for the night."

You nodded, casting the boys one more sad look before following Loki to your shared bedroom. Though you still loved your boys, you knew that Loki was far more devoted to you than they ever could be. He loved you, he trusted you, he would never be manipulated to turn against you. He was perfect, and he was what's best for you. He was the love you deserved, and you would always cherish that.
