Savior

Chapter 45: Back Home

I spent the morning washing up, getting my hair to look presentable since I am going back home.

Viella practically cried the whole time I said goodbye to her.

"Just come back soon okay dear," she says between sobs.
"I will, I promise," I hand her some tissues, "you promise me something, okay?"

"Anything," she nods vigorously.

"Promise me that next time you have a little fling with Thor you will tell me! I thought we were friends!" She laughs out loud throwing her hair back dramatically.

"Oh that? That was nothing, I assure you if something were to go down, you'd be the first to know."

"I'll miss you Viella," I hug her tightly before leaving to meet Thor and Loki.

15 minutes later...

I arrive to where Loki and Thor were talking to Heimdall.

"Hey guys," I say walking up to them.

"Y/N I do hope you come to visit sometime soon," Heimdall says shaking my hand.

"I will."

"I hope you weren't planning on leaving without saying goodbye," Freya says entering the dome.

"Of course not mother," Thor gives her a long hug kissing her on the cheek.

Loki walks over hugging her. She whispers something in his heat making him blush slightly.

"Y/N," Freya calls me over.

Ah shit she is gonna banish me isn't she.

I walk over already picking my fingers behind my back.

"Y/N, I love my sons very much. I'm sure u know that," I nod softly in response, "I trust that you will take care of them. Loki seems to be quiet happy these days."

She places her arm around my shoulders guilting me over to look out onto the city.

"I can feel that you are good. Pure. I thank you for being so kind to my sons and I ask for you to remain that way. Kind and pure, the world is not kind to people who are."

"I will try my best," I reassure her with a smile.

"Do come again, you will always be welcome here," she walks away waving to her sons before vanishing.

"Alrighty! Time to go," Thor summon Mjollnir and pushing himself closely next to Loki and I.

"Ready?"

"Ready."

Before we know it we are back on earth atop the stark tower roof. The whole team was standing there waiting for us.

"Y/N!!!!" Pepper squeals almost tackling me into a hug.

"Hi Pepper, I missed you!"

"I missed you kid," Tony says ruffling my hair prying Pepper off me.

"I'm glad you didn't forget about us," Nat says while Bruce smiles at me awkwardly.

"Bucky!" I scream jumping up to wrap my arms over his shoulders.
"Hey Y/N, how did it go?" He places me back down gently.

"It was great I have to tell you about it later-"

"You mean us right?" Steve says pulling me into a hug.

"Yes of course I'll tell you about to Steve."

Two hours go by with me telling Steve, Bucky, and Nat how things went, obviously not all the details ;).

Steve and Nat eventually go off to train leaving Bucky and I alone.

"So," Bucky says with a mischievous  smirk on his face.

"Soooo?"

"So what is it that your not telling me, I'm a trained assassin Y/N. I can tell when a part of the story is being left out."

"Oh please you know I'm gonna tell you about it but there is plenty of time for that-" I scooch over closer to him, "why don't you tell me about you and blondy over there."

He shifts uncomfortably, a shy blush falling onto his cheeks.

"Y/N I I don't know what you want me to say- there is nothing going on-"

"Bucky," I guild his chin so that he can face me, " lie to yourself as much as you want but you know I won't judge. I can see the way you look at him and I can't blame you. The way he talks about all the time you've spent together over the years is pretty romantic if I do say so myself."

He rubs his face with both hands clearly a little frustrated.

"And Bucky... you deserve to be happy."

"I really appreciate that Y/N. I just don't know what to do. Even if I do you know feel that way about him... he doesn't-"

"You don't know that," I interrupt him knowing where that train of self doubt leads, "not for sure at least."

We sit in silence for a moment before he sighs audibly.
"I'll think about it doll. Thanks again." I nod in response and watch as he walks away.

I take my time walking back to my room. Just thinking.

Look at me giving love advice when I can barely keep myself together.

"You have to give yourself more credit darling," a sweet sultry voice says behind my ear. His arms wrap around from behind me as his comforting scent fills my nose.

"Hey Loki," I take a deep breath leaning my head back onto his chest before turning around to meet his gaze.

"Thank you for giving me space today... to talk to everyone."

"Of course. I've had you all to myself for the past month so the least I can do is let you talk freely with your family." He strokes my hair then leads me over to the bed so I can lay down next to him.

"Though I don't quite like how much you talk to the brutish one-"

"Bucky."

"Yes Bucky."

"You know I probably shouldn't say anything but Bucky has a crush on Steve."

He chuckles letting his head fall to the side to watch me as I continue to look up at the ceiling.

"I could have told you that," he says casually.
"What! What do you mean? So you knew and didn't tell me??" I whisper yell at him leading to more laughing from him.

"I love how passionate you are about others Y/N."

There goes the butterflies.

"I'm glad your here Loki."
I lay my head on his chest listening to the calm beats of his heart before I drift off to sleep.
