I'll stay with you (Clintasha)✔️

♥︎❁16❁♥︎ Bucky to the rescue

Natasha was stunned at the sudden feeling of Bucky's lips on hers. It felt inviting, and she liked it.

It took her a moment to realise what was happening before she pushed him away and looked down, rubbing her neck awkwardly.

Bucky's face turned a tinge of red as he looked at her apologetically.

"I-I'm...sorry."

Natasha pressed her lips together and shook her head, still not looking at Bucky. She then lay back down on the bed, turning her back to him and closed her eyes.

However, Natasha couldn't suppress the feeling of guilt that clawed at her heart. She almost kissed him back.

She searched deep in her heart and found assurance that all this while, her heart was always with Clint, and nothing had changed.

---------------------------------------------

After that day, Natasha kept her distance from Clint and Bucky as best as she could. She kept it up for 3 days with Clint, and then she couldn't take it anymore.

What if Clint couldn't take care of himself?

She decided to head to his dorm to look for him after school. That was where she met with Jonathan Moore.

"So I heard your pathetic disabled boyfriend doesn't want you anymore, but don't worry, you have me." His piercing blue eyes devoured every inch of her and she was held hostage by the gleam of deviltry in them, laced deeply with mockery and lust.

Jonathan ran two fingers down the side of her face down to her chin but Natasha slapped his hand away and lashed out at him.

"Don't you dare say that about Clint!"

"How cute of you to stand up for him." Jonathan laughed and had Natasha cornered against the wall.

"Stay away from me!" Natasha yelled in a panic.

"What are you gonna do about it? That weakling in a wheelchair won't come and save you this time." He moved unbearably close to her and pinned her wrists to the wall.

Natasha struggled but it only made Jonathan enjoy it more. She suddenly thought about what Clint had taught her about protecting herself and kneed Jonathan in the groin.

He yelled in pain and stumbled back away from her, squeezing his eyes shut and gritted his teeth.

"Y-You wretch!"

Natasha took the opportunity to run away, she looked back once to see Jonathan yelling curses at her while wallowing in a pitiful and painful mess.

She almost smirked but then felt her wrist being yanked by someone with much brute force.

She whipped around and came face to face with Joseph. Jonathan managed to limp over upon seeing Joseph. His harsh hatred-filled eyes darted from Natasha to Joseph, who cocked his head to one side and eyed Natasha with much disdain.

"You think you're really smart, huh? But Sweetheart, you don't mess with me or my brothers." The words rolled smoothly off his tongue, laced with poison and threat. Natasha cringed at how he had called her 'Sweetheart', it was nothing close to the warmth and affection the word held when Clint says it.

Natasha tried all she could to pry away his fingers that held her wrist in an iron grip.

Then without warning, Joseph yanked her towards him and smashed his lips against hers, just in time to muffle her scream.

Natasha squeezed her eyes shut and painful tears seeped through her eyelids and trickled down her face as his disgusting lips devoured hers hungrily and unmercifully.

No, she couldn't allow this. So she bit him as hard as she could, till she tasted a metallic substance. It was all she could think of.

Joseph immediately pushed her away at the sudden burst of pain and glared daggers at her while wiping blood off his split lip.

Natasha retreated, her own lips stained by his blood, and a fearful expression in her tear-filled eyes.

Just as Joseph's palm was about to fly to her cheek, a strong hand grabbed his wrist, stopping it in its path.

Another arm crossed in front of Natasha protectively.

"Back off." The quiet force of the statement brought with it silence, as turquoise-gray eyes scanned and threatened the two bullies.

Joseph wrung his wrist out of Bucky's hand and Bucky gently tucked Natasha behind him.

"You think you're being a hero, Barnes? Stay out of this."

"Not if I can help it."

Joseph threw a punch at Bucky's jaw and Bucky retaliated by elbowing him in the stomach.

It soon escalated into a violent fight and Natasha tried to pull Bucky away before he got himself seriously injured.

Jonathan took the opportunity to grab Natasha by her arms from behind.

Natasha's scream made something click in Bucky's head. He kicked Joseph with unimaginable strength and sent him flying to the ground. He lay there in a defeated heap. Then Bucky started towards Jonathan and punched him to the ground. He was furious that they had hurt Natasha.

He stood there panting heavily, eyeing the both of them who were groaning in pain on the floor. Natasha held on to his arm and pulled him away, back to his dorm.

Clint had been at the benches studying, and decided to head back to his dorm to grab something. He passed by injured Joseph and Jonathan who gave him a sneer. He shrugged not knowing what had happened.

Clint rounded the corner to the corridor where his dorm was and caught a glimpse of Bucky and a redhead - Natasha, entering Bucky's dorm. They seem very close, he thought as he saw that Natasha was clinging on to Bucky's arm.

Clint felt sour. Was it jealousy? No, he didn't have the right to feel that way, he was the one who drove her away.

---------------------------------------------

Natasha sat Bucky down on the couch and went to get some ice, as well as a cloth from the kitchen.

She wrapped the ice in the cloth as she sat down next to Bucky and dabbed the bruise next to his mouth with it.

Bucky tensed for a moment at the sudden cold of the ice but then relaxed almost immediately at Natasha's touch as she held his face, turning it to her so she could check for any other injuries.

It was then that he saw the blood on her lips, which had almost dried up.

"Your-" he started.

"It's not my blood." Natasha replied, cutting him off. Bucky had only arrived when Joseph was about to hit her so he didn't know that Natasha had bit him.

Bucky raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

"Joseph kissed me so I bit him." She looked down momentarily, keeping the ice on his face.

"He what?! That bast-"

Natasha's head snapped up and Bucky stopped talking.

After a moment of awkward silence, Bucky began again.

"Were you here to...look for Clint?"

This came as a reminder to Natasha as to why she was here in the first place. She nodded, handed the ice to him, and stood up to leave.

"Thank you for coming to my rescue. Keep the ice there for a while longer."

After he heard the door close, Bucky let out a sigh.

"I'm lucky she didn't bite me when I kissed her." He muttered under his breath.
