Complicated (Reader Avengers Romance)

I got you

"She can do this, stop worrying so much." Loki tried to reassure Bucky. They were preparing to start helping you learn to control your power. Loki could sense something was bugging Bucky, so he took him for a walk so they could talk without anyone listening.

"It's not that Lo, she can do whatever she sets her mind to. It's her temper that worries me." He admitted, kicking a small patch of grass beneath his feet. Loki threaded his fingers through Bucky's. "That's why she's got us." He smiled at Bucky. "I can help her control her magic, but you, you're the one that can calm her down."
Bucky pulled Loki's lips to his, before stepping back, running his hands through his hair. "When I found out she had your magic. I didn't know where that left me." He felt like a weight had been lifted with his admission. It had been weighing on his mind for a while, actually admitting it out loud made him feel better. Loki knew there was more to what Bucky was feeling so he kept quiet, letting him get it all off his chest.

After a few moments Bucky looked at him. "After everything that happened. It just seemed like you two were meant for each other." He took a deep breath. "I just don't know where that leaves me anymore."

"We both chose to love you, a choice I would make time and time again. I'm over a thousand years old and loving you? One of the best things I've ever chosen to do."

Bucky couldn't stand the distance between them any longer. He pulled Loki to him. Their lips crashing together as they repaired what Bucky had felt was broken. Their hands roamed over each other's bodies. It was only when they parted, and attempted to regain their breath that they smiled.

"Come on." Bucky linked his hand with Loki's. "Let's go find our girl."

Walking into the compound you ignored Tony's pleas to talk to you. After the incident where you choked him, you had no desires to talk to him. You headed straight to Bucky who was waiting with open arms. He knew how worried you were about today. The second you breathed in his scent, you immediately calmed down.

"You ready doll?" He asked a soft smile on his face. You placed a kiss to his lips and nodded your head.

Loki and Bucky walked you down to a specialised training room. You took the ring out of your pocket, holding it in your hand.

"Just breathe love, let the power flow through you. You're safe here." Loki encouraged.

"Are you sure? I don't feel like burning the building down. At least not today." You tried to joke away your fear. Of course Loki saw straight through it.

"Your brother assures me the room is well protected."

You take a deep breath nodding at him. Placing the ring on your finger, you feel the power flow right through you. It burns every cell in your body, it's uncomfortable at first, but as you steady your breathing, it becomes a familiar warmth. Conjuring up some flames in your hands, you hold them out flat. The blue fire flows through you, you feel in control and smile.

"Stop fighting it." Loki calls your bluff, you were holding back and he knew it. "Accept it is part of you."

You let his words wash over you, the flames raising higher as you did. You could feel the power surging through you, more potent than before. The control you had over them starting to slip.

"Good girl. Now let's Frigga's gifts help you control that flame." Loki continued to encourage you, not wanting to push you too far, but he knew you needed a shove out of your comfort zone.

You dig deep within you, searching for the magic that was hidden there. You closed your eyes and called upon it, feeling it shimmer over you as you did. When you opened your eyes, the fire had changed to an emerald green. Panic rose within you. "Loki! Why is it green? It's never been green before."
