You Mean Everything To Me (Avengers/OUAT Fanfic)

29. Cut the stutter

[Willow]

I whipped my head round to see a small ginger man with a receding hairline and glasses. I guessed he was the famous Archie Hopper. Just as Emma went in for a hug, I felt a strong force hit the back of my legs and I fell back, my head hitting off the floor. I groaned and pushed myself up, to see that it was Archie's dog, Pongo, who'd run into me. I felt someone sit next to me, holding my back.

"Are you okay?" I heard a concerned voice ask me. I looked next to me to see Bucky.

"I'm fine." I said brashly, standing up by myself. I don't know why I was ignoring Bucky, why I didn't tell Tove earlier. Everything was so confusing.

I pushed away the thoughts and went over to Archie, slipping out the knife in my sleeve. I seperated Archie and Emma, who were still hugging, and pushed Archie against the wall, holding the knife to his neck.

"Willow, have you lost your mind?" Emma yelled at me. Honestly, were these people idiots.

"Shut up. How can we know it's actually you?" I said, staring right into Archie's eyes. He wimpered slightly before answering.

"I- Um... I was g-g-giving Regina thera- therapy before Cora t-tried to k-k-kill me." He stuttered.

"Yes, that's common knowledge by now," I said, pushing the knife into his neck a bit harder. "We need real evidence. And cut the stutter."

"Umm..." He hesitated. "I was the first person Emma met in Storybrooke." I looked over at Emma for confirmation and she nodded, and I took the knife away from his neck.

"Why was that nessesary?" Emma demanded.

I gave her a unimpressed look. "Well, it's now apparent that Cora "killed" Archie by assuming Regina's form. Who's to say that she didn't do the same with Archie?" I explained.

Emma looked defeated. "I never thought of that."

"Of course you didn't." I muttered.

Really not interested in their drama, I decided to leave the room. I brushed past Bucky and squeezed his hand, signaling that I wanted to talk to him, on the way past, before shutting the door and lying down on the bed of the room I was in. I took out my knife and started to chuck it up, spinning it as it went up and down.

I had no idea exactly what I wanted to ask Bucky. What was going on with us? What exactly was us? Did we want to tell everyone or keep it private? How would Tove react? How would Loki react? How would SHIELD react?

My thoughts were interrupted by someone coming in the room. Startled, I forgot about the knife I had just thrown up. I rolled over quickly, before I got impaled. The knife sunk into the pillow where my head had been moments earlier.

I took the knife out the pillow and glared at Bucky, who was laughing at me.

"You surprised me." I defended myself.

"I can see that." He said, sitting down on the bed next to me. "Sorry I took so long, Tove gave me a weird look every time I tried to leave. I finally got away when she was fuming about that Hook guy."

"It's fine. I wanted to talk." I said, stating the obvious. "What happened in the forest? We never talked about it on the way back."

Bucky smirked. "Well, I seem to remember you tearing my shirt off."

I blushed furiously. "Shut up Stumpy. I mean, what does it mean? Are we a thing now? Are we gonna carry on hating each other?"

Bucky took my hand. "God, I hope not. I really like you Willa."

I sighed. "I really like you too. God, way more than I should. But I've never liked someone like this before. I've not looked at a guy like I look at you since I was 9. I don't know what attention it will bring and I don't even know what 'we' are?"

Bucky squeezed my hand. "If you don't want to tell anyone, we wont. And I don't care what 'we' are, as long as I don't have to hate you anymore."

I looked up at Bucky and smiled. I sat up and put my hand on his cheek, pulling his face towards mine and kissing him. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. He bit my bottom lip and tugged lightly, asking for entrance.

Before the kiss could go any further, someone burst through the door, talking loudly. "Tove told me to come fetch you, we're going to see-" Me and Bucky pulled apart as Loki stopped and stared at us. "Well, well. What do we have here?" Loki said, smirking.

I jumped up and glared at Loki. "I swear to whatever god is up there, you tell anyone about this, I will personally castrate you."

"I'm a god, you could try swearing to me?" He suggested. "And don't worry your mortal head. I won't tell anyone. Yet." He chuckled. "You might want to wrap it up soon though. We're going to that Mr Gold guy's house."

Loki turned around and shut the door behind him. I sighed, and heard Bucky get up before wrapping his arms around me, pulling me close.

"Ignore him, he won't tell." He said as I rested my head againt his chest.

We stood there like that for a few moments before Bucky spoke again.

"You go first. I'll come in a few minutes so they don't get suspicious." He said, before squeezing me tightly and letting go.

I smiled at him again, before leaving the room. I walked to Tove, who asked if I'd seen Bucky.

"No, I'm sure he'll be here in a few minutes." I said, trying to look casual.

"Yeah, it's not like he's in a random room kissing a random girl." Loki added, staring at me.

"Can you not shut your face for 5 minutes?" Tove asked, slapping him.

I'm just glad she didn't see my bright red face.

Sorry, the next chapter will move on with the story more. This chapter was longer too. Bye
