Love Triangle

Chapter 8

Natasha gave Bucky a sheepish nod of her head. Before she begins to lean her head against the firm muscles of his shoulder.

She already hears Bucky beginning to moan as she comforts herself very tediously against his shoulder. Natasha begins to laugh softly. "Excuse me Ms. Romanoff, what's so funny?" Bucky growls softly against her ear. "It's nothing Bucky, just how comfortable you are. When I made myself comfortable I think you did too." Natasha says letting off a smirk. "You know I did Natasha. You're so beautiful, and the fact that your getting this close to me when we're sober, that kind of means something to me Natasha." Bucky confessed to her, it honestly meant a lot to him how close she allowed them both to get while they weren't drinking. This almost gave Bucky a sign that Natasha was comfortable with him too. Unfortunately, the other Soldier was in his way of winning her heart. "You still hear Princess?" Steve asked. Obviously he was looking for Natasha. Her eyes suddenly widened as they locked with Bucky's. "Hmmmm I should have known you'd set him free Natasha, you are too kind of a heart to be left alone free with.." Buck tackled Steve down to the ground. He was ready to let out some of his sweet revenge against Steve. Bucky couldn't help himself. Sure he wanted to help bring Steve back, but at the same time. He wanted Steve to pay for it a little first. "Bastard!" Steve shouted the word clearly at Bucky. "Yeah you too Steve," Bucky says pinning Steve down hard. Before he reaches for the rope that lays behind him with his nonmetal arm. He goes to tie Steve's arms together tightly, just so he will remain in place so the trick will work on his head. "What the hell are you doing!?" Steve screams at Bucky. "Steve like it or not you were always my best friend. So all I'm trying to do right now is fix you. Make you the man you always were. Natasha and I do not like the bastard, you became Stevie." Bucky tried to tell his friend to get the guy to at least listen. "I don't think Natasha likes him that much either to be honest." Bucky said with a shake of his head. "No, Steve I really don't like the new guy you are trying to tell yourself you are. He isn't you" Natasha tries to tell Steve firmly. She just couldn't see her Steve through the wicked mask this guy right in front of her was wearing. Then she runs off she just can't deal with this fake Steve anymore, but she did miss Bucky. After Steve is down and quiet could be their perfect opportunity to talk again among other things. Natasha was really enjoying Bucky's company, since Steve went thtough a change. She was also looking forward to getting closer to him. All of Steve's feelings aside. Natasha sighed again. She did love Steve, but she refused to let the monster Steve became take any part of her. She would only share her heart with individuals who deserved it, and loved her back just the same. Anything else was just not worth her time. Natasha shook her head. She was starting to feel more frequent butterflies in Bucky's company. Maybe that was a sign. She should just move on from Steve. She saw no way that the real Steve would return, and lover her back as much as she thought she loved him. After Bucky's little experiment of whatever he was doing with Steve. She'd like to get a little more time with Bucky to herself. Bucky had Steve tied down tightly now. He was ready to see if this little plan would turn his friend back to normal. Bucky mixed a beverage and held it up to Steve's lips for him to drink. "What the hell is this?" Steve groaned he wanted information before he even swallowed the stuff. "It will help you Steve, rumor has it it may make you yourself again. Steve sighed heavily before he allowed the liquid to trickle down his throat. The only reason he wanted this was because he didn't want Natasha to ignore him whenever the two of them were in a room together. He thought she wanted him to act cooler than his shy, and responsible self. Steve turned away. He knew Bucky was his friend, but he did not want Bucky to see him all wishy-washy and lost in thought about everything. Steve couldn't even stand the human being he let himself turn into. He groaned softly not feeling any of the effects yet. "How do we know if it worked?" Steve asked curiously, yet still a bit impatiently. What was wrong with him? Why couldn't Steve just turn off the attitude. Even when he was young Steve was never a fan of potions that were described as quick fixes. They were always unreal and imaginary to Steve. "What did they say the likelihood was on that stuff?" Steve asked beginning to sound nervous. "The place I brought it from guaranteed we would get the results that Natasha and I want. A less jerked up version of our Steve. Steve sighed heavily as he looked down at his feet. He hoped it would work, but Steve never believed ads or people who just spoke like what they were selling was a miracle drug. Steve got chills at the chances that the drug would only make him worse. He wasn't throwing punches at Bucky anymore exactly, but he was currently at war with himself. Steve really was not confident in the chances that this enhancement would correct anything for his current mood issue. He did know what an ass he'd been recently. Ultimately Steve wanted whatever his brain was doing before to change and correct itself. "Just give it second Steve. No one wants this issue corrected more than I do." Bucky said in a mumbled tone. Although, that was the truth Bucky did not want the effect to work so well that Natasha would run straight towards her little romance with Steve. Bucky loved Steve, but he did just want a fair chance at testing his and Natasha's limits. Maybe she wouldn't fall for him, but Bucky at least wanted a fair shake at a chance with Natasha. Steve fell unconscious moments after he heard Bucky asking for his patients. Steve did plan to give Bucky exactly that his patients, but the treatment took him out, before he could verbally agree to anything.
