Butterfly (Bucky x Reader)

Thor and Loki's arrival

"Wow" Bucky said as you walked into the dining room with Wanda at your side. He was standing to the side looking struck, and his jaw slightly agape. "You look beautiful!" he said in awe. You looked at him in his black jeans and white button up shirt with the sleeves carefully rolled up. He looked like he was dressed to impress, and you wondered if he was nervous about tonight, more so than he was letting on. You stood with your hair down and in waves, with natural makeup, and your three quarters to your knees champagne dress that showcased your butterfly tattoo.
"Well hello there" you heard an unfamiliar voice with an English lilt say, and you looked at the table to see both Thor and his little brother Loki sitting there at the table in their Asgardian armor. Wanda squealed and ran around the table to hug them both.
"Hello" you waved a little embarrassed. "I'm Y/N" you introduced yourself.
"A werewolf, how interesting. And a beautiful one at that" Loki purred. "Sadly you've already found your mate. I'm Loki Odinson, and this oaf is my brother Thor," he introduced.
"Pleasure to meet you both" you blushed. "What do you know about mates?" you asked him quickly.

"Have a seat, little wolf, I know plenty about your kind" Loki gestured to the spot across from him.
"Careful brother, even human mates get territorial" Thor warned him. "Even if he's one of your friends," he added.
"Welcome back gentlemen" Bucky finally registered them.
"Much has changed" Loki's eyes glinted with delight.
"Just a bit" Bucky said a little sheepishly, and pulled out a chair for you. You took a seat and he immediately sat down next to you.
"I'll answer all of your questions, of course. A mate is what humans call a soul mate. Your wolf is able to pick out her mate from all of the billions of people that are in this realm. You do have the venom to make Bucky like you, not that you would. Only in your wolf form" he explained and you gasped. "Your wolf cannot speak to you yet, but she will eventually. Most wolves are born with their humans and dont start speaking to their other half until they are around eighteen years old. She's still learning, but she's not quite there yet. She knows her mate" he pointed an elegant finger at Bucky who smirked. "And she knows the love she feels for both of you."
"Does she want to change him?" you asked in surprise at what he was telling you.
"Yes," Loki nodded, looking between the two of you.
"I know the arm can be taken off, but I'd be walking around on three paws," Bucky said without hesitation.
"We can make you a prosthetic for a front leg that moves like your arm does if you two decide to change Bucky" Tony advised.
"That's a very long conversation and a lot of consideration," you said, putting your hand nervously on Bucky's thigh, and he squeezed your fingers.

"We clearly should have a more formal conversation, maybe over tea?" Loki suggested and you smiled.
"Of course, I'd love that!" you readily agreed.

"Good, make sure Bucky is there" Thor nodded in approval.
"Of course" Loki nodded, looking slightly affronted. "I know how mates work," he said with a slight hiss.
"Here, eat" Bucky started loading up your plate before his own.

"Thank you Bucky" you cooed to him and kissed his cheek. He broke out into a large smile and then went to feed himself.

"How was your trip through the nine realms?" Vision asked them.
"Tedious" Loki sighed.
"It went well. All treaties are going to plan, both father and mother are pleased. We don't have to go again for a year or so" Thor seemed pleased with himself. "Loki is slowly being forgiven for his crimes which is great news!"
"I thought he was under mind control?" you asked and the table went a little quiet.
"It was pet, but father does not agree I should go without punishment. My banishment to midgard with the exception of family duties is a part of my punishment. Including working with my brother" Loki advised you.

"We are glad you are back. We missed you" Wanda said quickly.
"Yes, we didn't miss the pranks though" Sam said with a chuckle to which Loki grinned.
"I seem to remember the one where I was a cat and got on Bucky's lap and kissed his cheek before becoming human again" Loki said with a mischievous spark in his eyes.
"I for one didn't enjoy that," Bucky said with a chuckle.

"We did," Sam laughed.

"So you are still going to the bar tonight?" Nat asked, changing the subject.

"Yes, we have to be there by seven" you gave a soft smile.
"We had better eat quickly then" Steve said, looking nervous.

"Would you two like to join us?" you asked politely.
"No pet, we are delighted to be invited, however we are both tired," Loki shook his head.

"Thank you for extending the invitation," Thor added. "But my brother is right, we are a bit tired. It will be nice to have a few days to rest."

When you got to the car you were given the passenger seat by Bucky who held the door open for you to get in. He quickly took the driver's seat so he could hold your hand as much as possible while he was driving. Sam and Steve took the back seat and buckled in. The drive to Sebastian's country bar was filled with old music from Bucky's Spotify. When he parked you waited excitedly for him to run around and open your door as he requested. Steve and Sam were dressed in jeans and t-shirts, and you were half tempted to go buy both men a cowboy hat to make them fit in more. Bucky held your hand and led you in, and you spotted Jennifer right away. She was wearing a blue paisley dress with a flower in her long brown hair. Her bright blue eyes were watching the door closely and she waved to you as you came in.
"Over here!" she jumped up and you let go of Bucky's hand to run to her and hug her. "Hey girl" she said happily.
"Hey" you giggled.
"Oof, someone is marking their territory" she giggled, pointing out one of the kiss marks you had missed with makeup. "You are glowing," she said with approval.

"Hello again" Bucky caught up with Steve and Sam behind him.
"Hey mr. Suave" Jennifer teased him. "Hey you two handsome men" she winked at Steve and Sam. "Welcome back, drinks all around" she cried out happily.
"Are you drunk already?" you asked with a laugh.
"Tipsy" she admitted. "My boss is riding my ass about the newest reports that came out, we are not meeting this quarter's financial quota" she sighed with a frown.
"Bummer" you hugged her again. "You've got this" you added softly.
"Girl I know, I just... I want out. But I don't know where I'd apply" she sat down and you took a seat beside her in the large booth. The waitress came over and you all ordered your drinks.
"I can help you get in with Shield" you offered. "Fury still needs a personal assistant," you added.
"I would love you forever if you could do that. I just can't keep up with the tantrums and the egotistical maniacal bastard I have for a boss" she said and downed the rest of the drink she already had at the table.
"Well, Fury likes things done a certain way. It's not easy, but the pay is good and you get to go home at the end of the day" you shrugged.
"Sign me the fudge up" she said, sparing a glance at Steve. "I heard you don't like bad language," she added with a shy smile.
"I don't mind it in certain scenarios" Steve gave a flirty smile and you saw her blush.
"I'm going to try my hand at the mechanical bull" Sam said, leaving some money on the table for his drink.
"Drink's on me" Bucky put a hundred on the table and Sam shrugged.
"Thanks man" he gave a genuine smile, and headed towards the lineup for the mechanical bull.
"I owe you a dance" Bucky purred from beside you.
"I think you do" you smiled, a little breathless.
"Excuse us" Bucky said to Jennifer and Steve and he got out of the booth and waited for you to join him. The two of you headed to the dance floor to give the two of them some time to get to know one another. You took out your phone long enough to text Fury that you wanted a favor, and put your phone away again.
Bucky led you to the middle of the dance floor and pulled you in for a slow dance. You had both your arms wrapped around his shoulders and you swooned to the music as he danced you around the room. He put you in the periodic turn and dip, but remained a perfect gentleman. You couldn't have asked for better. Your wolf was preening inside of your head that he was treating you so gently, and you couldn't help but think you wanted to preen on the inside as well. When faster songs came on, he just continued to dance you slowly around the room, regardless of the music. You both turned in time to see Sam falling off of the bull and you couldn't help but giggle while Bucky barked a laugh and the two of you headed back towards the table where you saw that Jennifer and Steve were getting along very well and sitting right beside one another. You couldn't help but think it was a match made in Heaven. She was so animated, and he was watching her with stars in his eyes.
