Complicated (Reader Avengers Romance)

That's my matchstick

It was time for you to leave, Thor was waiting outside for you. The rain poured down around you, matching your mood. You'd put on a brave face for Bucky, you couldn't let him know how scared you were. This was a trip that could end in you not coming home, but you refused to admit that to him, you couldn't.

"Y/N?" Thor called out to you, sensing your hesitation. You signalled up at the rain. "Is this you?"
Thor shrugged and the rain stopped. "Drama Queen." You muttered under your breath as you turned to Bucky. He pulled you into his arms and you buried your face into his chest. "You stay safe and you come back in two days like you promised." He pulls you back to look at him. So you can see the stern look in his eyes.
"I promise. Don't do anything stupid while I'm gone."

"Same goes for you. Come back to me." His hand cups your cheek and he slides his thumb across your lip.

"Always." You promise before he pulls your lips to his. It isn't soft and sweet, it's desperate and unforgiving. By the time you pull away your lips are swollen and bruised, something that doesn't go unnoticed by Bucky. He gives you a playful wink and you lightly smack his chest in return. "You did that on purpose."

Bucky shrugs his shoulders before placing a soft kiss against your swollen lips. "Just reminding you to come back to me doll."
You were very aware of Thor standing a few feet away so you pulled Bucky in for a hug. Your lips lining up with his ear. "Always, Daddy." You nipped on his ear before running off to join Thor. Looking back you knew you'd pay for that comment but the look on Bucky's face was so worth it. It was the first time you'd called him that outside the bedroom and the look on his face told you that he liked it very much.

"I love you doll." He called out as Thor wrapped his arm around you.

"I love you too!"

Thor pulled you close to him and told you to hang on. The bright rainbow lights descended and engulfed the pair of you. Hurtling through the bifrost felt different this time, maybe it was because you knew what to expect. However you had an inkling that the oaf you'd grown to love, wrapped around you may have helped too.

Finally you felt the ground beneath your feet. Heimdall looked at you with a smile, he'd seen the way you had changed both the Prince's and he was immensely grateful for it. "Welcome back Lady Y/N." His golden eyes smiled at you. You nodded at him out of respect. "Heimdall, it's good to see you. Is he expecting us?"
He nodded his head and Thor thanked his friend as you went to stand on the rainbow bridge.

The sight of Asgard was one you loved, you could see why Loki thought of it as his safe haven. The golds that reflected the light and the shimmering blue of the waters. It was like something out of a fairytale. You couldn't help but wonder what Loki would have made of you, had you been born here. Would the attraction be the same? The love? Would he have been allowed to court you, to take you dancing? You were so caught up in the what ifs of the moment, you nearly missed Thor stepping up beside you.

"I'm over a thousand years old and yet every time I return it seems more beautiful." He admitted not taking his eyes of his home.
"It's magnificent Thor. Loki loves it too, deep in his heart, although he'll never admit it." You didn't tell anyone how Loki was stuck imagining himself in Asgard right now. That wasn't your secret to tell.

Wrapping his arm around you once more, you gripped onto Thor as his hammer began to carry you both through the air. Landing on the balcony, Thor gave you a moment to steady your legs before he let go. "Shall we?" He offered his arm in an over-exaggerated motion, you couldn't help the small laugh that fell from your mouth. "Yes my dearest oaf, we shall." You linked your arm through his as he led you to where Odin was waiting for you both.
