Dr. Laufeyson

Carnivore beast

"Mm, that feels really nice." You spoke monotone as Steve continued to thrust into you. You decided you'd focus on the ceiling as opposed to his face that was contorted in such a vile expression. Sighing, Steve stopped his movements as he settled his gaze onto you with a more concerned expression. Feeling that he was no longer moving, you looked back at him. "What?"

"You could seem a little more enthusiastic." He replied.

"Well it's hard to enjoy when all I can see is a carnivore beast grunting above me." You huffed.

"We're technically omnivores." He countered "plus youcalled me remember."

"And now I'm starting to wish I hadn't." You tutted as Steve pulled out of you before rummaging around for his boxers before settling at the end of the bed, probably to throw his used condom into your bedroom bin - you really did hate Steve.

"Let's just go see Buck."

"I'm going to the toilet first." You announced, standing up as you quickly threw your clothes on and picked up your phone. Entering your bathroom, you closed the door behind you before closing the toilet seat lid and sitting down on top of it as you searched your contacts for Loki. Of course, he didn't answer and your call went straight to voice mail. "Hi Loki it's me, again. Could you please call me back or message me or something it's been two days." You left the voice mail and then held your phone in your hand as you took a deep breath. It had been two days. Two days since Loki thought it appropriate to tear your clothes off in the kitchen and then run out afterwards and refuse to answer your calls or messages. You felt terrible. You didn't know whether it was your fault, whether or not you did something wrong or if Loki was just like every other man.

"Hurry up." Steve called from the other side.

"Give me a minute, fuck." You glowered.

Soon after, you were in Steve's car as you both drove towards the Ostroff Centre to see Bucky. You picked up some fruits on the way there not sure what to bring but not wanting to go empty handed. Every time Steve's hand wondered towards your thigh, squeezing reassuringly as if you were visibly panicking, you felt nauseous. Every moment reminded you of why you had broken up in the first place. You thought back to the last time you went to the Centre, you met Loki there. He was so quick to help you, comfort you and now things were different. Your relationship had changed and you weren't too sure whether they'd ever go back or even progress. Anything was better than this stagnant pause. You didn't even know if you had a therapist now or if you had to start the whole process again with someone new. Regardless of your more intimate relationship with Loki, you were starting to appreciate him professionally too. Noticing your absentmindedness, Steve of course squeezed your leg again, hand reaching higher every time.

Once you arrived, you were escorted to the gardens where Bucky was indulging in some peaceful birdwatching. Interrupting him, you and Steve sat either side of him. Turning towards you, Bucky quickly wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into a hug. It seems he had missed you just as much as you had missed him. You hugged him back, feeling yourself finally relax after that night with Loki. It felt like this was the first time you had breathed since then.

"I've missed you." You spoke into his shoulder.

"I've missed you too doll. Where's the therapist?" He answered. Feeling you stiffen, Bucky decided to hold you tighter.

"Not gonna say anything to me?" Steve cut in with a small smile before Bucky let you go and greeted him. Whilst they both caught up with one another, you decided to excuse yourself and call Loki again. Hopefully this time he'd pick up despite the other hundred or so times he didn't. Still no luck.

After leaving Bucky, you and Steve were back to silence in the car journey home. When you both reached a red light, Steve turned towards you.

"You alright?"

"Course, not that you'd care." You sassed back.

"Come on. I care, you know I care." He answered, continuing to drive once the lights changed.

"Well you have a funny way of showing it." You spoke, rolling your eyes as you remembered your relationship with him.

"But I still do care." He winked, glancing at you before a silence fell over you both once again. "There's a party happening tonight at that club we used to always go to, I can pick you up and we could go together." He offered, breaking the silence.

"I'll let you know." You replied, certain you definitely wouldn't be going there despite how much you were itching for a night out, you deserved one.

Once Steve dropped you home, you ran yourself a bath before calling Loki again. You laughed mirthlessly at yourself as it rang, you knew he wasn't going to answer. It was beyond stupid that you were still trying. If he wanted to speak to you, he'd have answered by now or called you back. At this point, it felt as if you were only calling him to make it seem as if you had people to talk to. In reality, you felt completely isolated. You wished he'd pick up. Biting your lip, your heart dropped when he did answer.

"Hello?" The person answered and it definitely wasn't Lokis voice.

Gasping, you quickly hung up the phone. Perhaps you would be going out with Steve tonight.
