Gallium // Bucky Barnes // 18+

11. Yes.

Stick to my word when I say
I don't want you back
But what if I did?
Don't hold it against me
'Cause you got the upper hand
now that I'm lonely
And I feel the past pulling my body
To tell you I'm sorry
I still picture it,
it's been a couple of months
I swore in my head
this was the right thing for us
But it's breaking my heart,
it's breaking it off.

~I Still Do.

Laws of nature are unbreakable, unlike the laws made by humans. Bucky and Krystal had made one of those laws for themselves. Which was that they'll keep their relationship strictly professional. But isn't it true what they say, you crave what you can't have?

Wearing a red shirtdress with a belt tied on her waist, Krystal was walking through the corridors to get to her associates in the middle of the day to assist them.

Stepping in the lobby of associates she looked at them with a smile. "Good afternoon, Miss Ivy." One of the associates greeted her.

"Good afternoon." Krystal replied with a smile. "Okay, guys shoot your questions." Krystal said standing in front of them and turned to the first cubicle to guide him.

He opened a file and stood up, holding it out. "Miss Ivy, I think my designs are beginning to get stagnant and I can't come up with new ones." He said and Krystal held his file, flipping the pages with designs.

"The design is great, you need to work a little bit on the skirtings. And about the stagnation, I think that depends on the draft the architect gives you or what your clients demand." She said closing the file and looking up at the person. "So don't worry about it. You're doing great." She said passing the file back with a smile.

"Thank you so much." The man said taking the file and bowing a little, Krystal sent him a nod with a grin and walked ahead.

She saw a girl standing in her cubicle and she went up to her.

"How are we coming along on the club project, Alisha?" Krystal asked standing by her cubicle.

"That's what I wanted to talk about, Miss Ivy. I made the designs just the way you asked but I don't think Mr. Barnes would approve these." She said handling her the file.

Krystal took the file and opened it in her hand. She was scanning the design, tucking a few strands behind her ear absent mindedly.

"Is this an inspection?" Krystal heard and instantly turned to see who it was.

"Steve, you scared me." She said, chuckling. Steve smiled standing closer to her.
"So are the associates in trouble?" Steve asked resting an arm on the cubicle wall, facing Krystal.

"No, they aren't. I had a little time on my hand, so I thought I should give them a little additional help." Krystal said, returning to read the file.

"Do you ever stay idle?" Steve asked furrowing his brows a little, making Krystal chuckle.
"I try not to." She said chuckling lightly.

"Is this about that weekend at Bucky's?" Steve asked with a small smirk and Krystal shot her head up looking at Alisha and then back at Steve.
