With Him | Bucky x Reader | Enemies with Benefits

-59-

Y/n's POV:

Do you know what one of my favorite things to do while sporting a monster hangover is? Go Axe throwing with Nat and Wanda.

That wasn't sarcasm, I legitimately love hurling chunks of metal into blocks of wood while being angry at my past self for drinking so much the night before. In my defense, they were free.

"Woah, slow down Y/n." Wanda laughed as I chucked another axe toward the target. 

"Who did you go out with last night? You must have gotten pretty fucked." Nat laughed.

That's it. Laugh at my pain like the devil you are. 

"Sometimes I wish I could see inside your head." Wanda half-muttered, "Sometimes I've very glad that I can't."

I Laughed a little, "I'm very glad you can't. I like to have my own private thoughts, and no offense Wands, but I like the reassurance that you're not diving through my memories while I'm around you."

"I would never!" She replied with ridiculous amounts of fake indignance, making us all laugh.

"How do you know you can't then?" Nat quizzed her, throwing another axe, followed by a tiny knife less than an inch above it. 

I turned to them, "Yeah, Wanda. How do you know?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about." She lied. We all knew she was lying, she scratched her nose whenever she did, It was a huge tell and she didn't even know that she did it. It did sometimes take the fun out of poker nights though.

"Do we know why you can't get into Y/n's mind?" Nat asked.

Yes. 
Because of my family's telepathy.
The telepathy that  only Bucky and a couple of guys who had read my file knew about.
Nat and Wanda didn't know, and I didn't really feel like telling them right now as my head felt like it was about to explode.

In all fairness, it could have been a lot worse. Bucky had woken me up with Advil and hugs this morning, but with the amount of alcohol I had consumed, there was no escaping a hangover.

"No," Wanda answered Nat's question. "But you know what? I haven't been able to get into Bucky's head for days either."

That made me turn around in an instant.

"What?"

"Woah!" Nat yelled, "Y/n! You're holding a very sharp axe..."

Oh shit. Yeah.

"Sorry." I smiled awkwardly. I put down the axe and asked again. "What do you mean you can't get into Buck's head?"

"He's fenced off the same way you are. I can't see any of your thoughts, your head is just black to me."

"Maybe they just don't have any thoughts at all. They're not the brightest pair..." Nat mumbled, earning an elbow in her side. "I'm just saying!"

I went to pick up the axe again and stood to watch Wanda throw hers. Red light swirled around it as it hit the target dead in the center.

That has to be cheating.

I stood in front of the target and prepared to take another throw when...

*I can't wait for you to get home so I can spend the evening with my face between your perfect legs, Doll.*

I missed the target.
In fact, I almost decapitated Nat and Wanda for the second time in five minutes.

"What the fuck, Y/n? We're gonna get banned from this place if you keep swinging the axe around like us." Nat said, a hint of panic in her voice. "What happened?"

"Um...nothing," I mumbled. *What the fuck, Barnes? You know what I'm doing right now.*

I heard his laugh pound through my chest. That wasn't normal, he wanted me to hear him laugh. 

*Dickhead.* I told him, hoping that he would get the death glare I wanted to give him in my tone of voice.

*We're back to 'Barnes' are we?* He teased.

*We are when you've pissed me off.* I replied.

*Such a shame.* He responded with absolutely zero sincerity. *Does this mean we get to have make-up sex?*

*Go away, Barnes or I'm going to run right back to the compound and bury this axe in your face.* I threatened. It didn't work.

*There's the Y/n/n I know. I was wondering where you'd gone for a second there. you've been way too nice to me lately.* His familiar voice buzzed through me and warmed me like a blanket and a bonfire on a fall evening.

*I hate you so much.* 

I love you.

*I hate you too, Y/n/n.* He thought to me, just as he always did.

I hope you love me too.

"Y/n, it's your turn." Wanda grinned, "If you can keep on target this time."
