Complicated (Reader Avengers Romance)

I just want to be with you

After finally arriving back in Asgard, Thor hands Surtur's helmet to one of the guards. "Do me a favour, lock this away in a vault so it doesn't turn into a giant monster, and destroy the whole planet." You look on and laugh at his bluntness, before placing your hand on his arm. "I need to get back Thor, if what we found out is true, I can save him."

Thor understood your need to get home but he didn't want you to leave, not yet. "Take a walk with me first Sparky."
You rolled your eyes at him, unable to hold back your laughter at the nickname. "Are we just throwing around nicknames at this point?" You ask him with a smile.
Thor shrugs his broad shoulders, his face straight as he turns to you looking serious. "Until I find something that sticks. Yes." He breaks into a laugh towards the end, causing you to smile back at him.

When he turns to you, you both start giggling like school children. You felt guilty for laughing, knowing what Loki and Bucky were going through. Thor soon pulled you out of your thoughts by throwing his arm around your shoulders. "Come on, let me show you some more of my home before you leave."

You leant into him with a smile. "Lead the way Sparkler."
Thor boomed a laugh in your ear, causing you to playfully hit him on the chest. "Mortal ears remember."

A few hours later and you were walking through the streets of Asgard, everyone welcomed Thor as you walked together, arms linked together. It wasn't until an older lady stopped you that you found out, the people of Asgard knew about you. "Lady Y/N, thank you." You looked at her, wondering what she could possibly have to thank you for. She seemed to pick up on your confusion and smiled at you. "The love you have for our youngest Prince, even with him not here, we feel the effects, Asgard is a happier place because of you." She gave you a curtsey before disappearing off into the crowd.

The elderly lady wasn't the last to greet you, it made you feel odd, but Thor assured you it was normal for the Lady of the Prince to be greeted as such. As you reached a quieter path, you looked out over the water and smiled, it truly was a beautiful place. "What will you do when you return?" Thor asked pulling you out of your thoughts.
"Get my Loki back, he's still trapped in there."
You both arrived at an overlook, there was a beige coloured balustrade that you both walked towards. "It will be dangerous Spitfire." Thor warned you.
You rolled your eyes leaning against the structure in front of him. "That was the worst one yet." You retorted, referring to the nickname.

"Don't change the subject." He smiled at you, as he chastised you with a smile.
You smiled back before your expression changed to a serious one. "I know it'll be dangerous, but I have to try."
You saw the sad look in Thor's eyes, the way he held back what he wanted to say. You nudged his shoulder, encouraging him to come out with what it is was.

"Don't risk yourself in the process." He grabbed your hand in his with a smile. "I'd be lost without my best friend."
To hear him talk about you like that warmed your heart, he truly felt the same way you did. "Right back at you." He finally let go of your hand as you looked at him. "Where will you go?"

"I have to make sure the nine realms aren't in chaos, I'll return soon."

After making sure he promised to stay safe, Thor took you towards the palace horses. "Do you know how to ride?" He asked with a cheeky smile. You held back your elation, horse riding was something you loved to do but for the sake of surprising him, you hid that from him. "I've done it once or twice." You lied to him.

Thor helped you up on to the black stallion. He snorted gently as you settled into the saddle. Rubbing a a calming hand down his mane, Thor watched on with a smile. "He's Loki's horse, won't let just anyone ride him." You smiled down at the horse and rubbed his mane once more. The knowledge that he was Loki's, and he'd accepted you made you happier than you'd admit to anyone.

Thor mounted his horse and came up next to you, noticing the cheeky grin on your face. Before he could register what was going on, you'd galloped off laughing as he struggled to keep up with you.

You were at the bifrost in no time, climbing down from your horse you stood in front of him. You hand stroking his nose. You could see Thor making his way up the rainbow bridge, your attention turned back to the steed in front of you. He even had green flecks in his eyes like Loki did. His eyes looked sad though, something that broke your heart. You leaned your forehead against his. "I'll bring him home to you. I miss him too."

Before you knew it Thor had caught up with you. Tethering the horses up outside the bifrost Thor led you inside. Heimdall activated his sword, informing you that the way home was ready when you were. You turned to Thor with a smile. "I'll get him back." You promised before he engulfed you in a hug.

The second the rainbow lights disappeared you were calling out for Bucky. He'd seen the lights appear and it was mere seconds before his arms were wrapped around you. "Thank god you're back." He breathed in your ear, his voice laced with relief. He pulled you back to look you over, he noticed the few cuts and scrapes on your face. The battle to escape Surtur hadn't gone without injury, he placed a kiss on the cut across your cheek causing you to smile up at him. "I'm fine. I promise. Just please, take me to bed." He could see the tears that you were holding back.

He picked you up bridal style as he you curled yourself into his chest. You both ignored the questions from everyone as he carried you through the compound. Tony was the worst one to get through, he tried to get you to talk to him but you couldn't. You curled further into Bucky, your head in the crook of his neck. "Please Daddy, I need you." You whispered in his ear. The tone of your voice caused Bucky to push past Tony, ignoring his pleas. That word in that tone had all sorts of feelings running through him, the main one being that he needed to make you feel happy and protected.

When he finally got you to the door of your room you shook your head. "Not here." You begged him, the memories of all three of you flooded through you. "Anywhere but here." Bucky wasted no time in taking you to his room in the compound. He settled you on the sofa before walking into the kitchen area of his room and poured you a glass of wine. "Here you go." He placed the glass in your hand before settling in beside you.

You thanked him with a sad smile on your face. You both sat in silence for a few minutes before Bucky couldn't take it anymore. "What happened doll?"
You chuckled. "That is a very long story." Bucky looked at you with a look that told you, he wasn't happy with that answer. "Short version, is Thor got us captured, the monster that gave me my powers is dead. Oh also I'm the only one that can get Loki back."

You expected Bucky to be shocked that you could get Loki back, yet he seemed to take it all in his stride. "You have powers like his don't you?" Bucky queried whilst avoiding your gaze.
You couldn't stop the shock that spread over your face, your mouth opened and closed a number of times before words actually formed. "How did you?" It was then that it clicked. "You spoke to him, didn't you?"
Bucky sighed as you placed your glass on the table before settling your head in his lap. "I had to try." He admitted.

Curiosity got the better of you. "What did he say?"
Bucky didn't want to upset you, he didn't want to see the disappointment in your eyes so he shook his head before realising you couldn't see him. "A lot of things. We can talk about it tomorrow."
You knew by the way he stiffened beneath you that this was hurting him more than he'd care to admit. You moved to sit in his lap, looking into his eyes you could see his pain. "It wasn't him Buck. He's trapped in there."

He placed a kiss to your head, his eyes closed. "How do we get him back?" His voice was small and you hated the way he sounded, the heartbreak in his voice was horrible. You climbed back onto his lap, pressing yourself against him, showing him exactly what you needed.

"We'll worry about that tomorrow. Tonight I just want to be with you."
