"My dear what are you doing?" You were siting crosslegged on the bed with your eyes shut. "Meditating. It helps relieve stress." "Oh long day at work?" He asks not knowing meditation requires a quiet surrounding. "Did you hear me?" He asks slightly frustrated at your silence. "Yes work sucked. But mediation works better if everything is quiet." You say quickly then breathing deeply. You can feel the bed shift with Loki's weight as he sits on the bed with you. The sound of him squirming around to get his legs crossed like yours causes you blood to boil. You squeeze you eyes tightly to try to block out the noise. He mimics your breathing and you slowly relax again. There was beautiful silence all around you. It was perfect until his frustrated tone pierces your ears. "This is stupid. I don't feel anything different." "You think everything is stupid. If you don't understand it it goes straight to the stupid pile. You think Midgardians are so weak and unintelligent but you an Asgardian don't even grasp the concept of just siting and doing breathing exercises to relieve stress." You completely lose your temper. You hated every time Loki would belittle you saying you wouldn't understand things that he does. And that he says the things you love doing are idiotic or a waste of time. You were fed up with him. He never experienced you losing your temper like that. He was outright shocked but he wanted to put his to sense in. "Well you must admit it is a waste of time." He says giving you his signature smile. "That's it I want you out of the house! I can't take your arrogance and flat out rudeness anymore. Take your stuff and go!" You say pointing to the door. "And don't you dare let another word escape your lips or I swear to god Loki I will cut out your tongue." He swallows hard unsure if you are being serious. Without a word he takes a few things and leaves. Once the door shuts you break down. You had held all if it in for years and now it's finally out. He was so kind and thoughtful the first few years you known him but then something changed. He grew dark and mean. You stayed with him thinking it's just a phase and you should be there to help him out of it. That was 5 years ago. You took his insults and belittling for 5 years until you finally snapped. Now you lay in your once shared bed sobbing uncontrollably. Your friend Bucky called but you didn't answer. You always answered his calls before the third ring. But you couldn't let him hear you like this so it went to voicemail. Bucky called and even texted a few more times before he came to your house. He has a key and lets himself in. "(Y/N) are you ok? Where are you?" He says searching the house till he finally makes it to your room. He sees you curled in a ball tightly hugging you pillow. He rushes over to you, "what's wrong? Where's Loki?" "He is what's wrong and frankly I really don't give a shit where he is right now." You say as Bucky pulls you into his arms. "Wanna talk about it? Did he hurt you in anyway?" He quickly inspects you to see if you are hurt. "I just couldn't take it anymore Buck. I put up with his insults for 5 years. And today I cracked because he called mediation stupid. I know it's a dumb thing to lose it over but I just couldn't stop myself." You say burying your head in his chest and crying. "Shhhh it's ok honey. You have every right to lose it. You kept it bottled up for so long. It was bound to come out sometime." He says rubbing circles on your back with his metal arm, the coolness soothing you.
Your phone rang and it was Steve so Bucky answered. "Hey Steve it's buck. (Y/N) can't come to the phone right now. What do you need?" "Hey Bucky could you ask her why Loki is at the tower and not with her?" "Oh I can answer that one. She kicked him out because he was being a grade A jurk. More then he normally is." You giggled at Bucky's description of the situation. He noticed and patted your back smiling down at you. "Oh I see. I'll let Thor know so he can have a brotherly powwow with him." Steve says when you hear Thor's laughter in the background. "Well glad you got it covered. I'll be here with (Y/N) if you need me. Talk later Rodgers." "See ya buck." With that Bucky hands you the phone to end the call and you put it back up on the night stand. "So I think this situation calls for a walk in the park and some ice cream. My treat." He says taking your face in his hands squishing your cheeks. You giggle as he squishes them to where your lips look like a fishes. You both get up and head to the park. Bucky wraps his metal arm around your hip and holds you close to him. While you do the same and intertwine your fingers with his flesh ones. You take a long stroll just observing nature and enjoying the sounds of the birds and the stream. "I don't remember the last time I walked in a park like this." Bucky says squeezing your hand. "You don't remember a lot of stuff." You giggle playfully. "Well I am in my 90's." He replies giving you a smirk. "I know gramps." "Don't call me that. I don't have children let alone grandchildren." "Well as far as you know." You tease and he looks at you confused. "For all you know you could have knocked up a chick while you were the winter soldier." You say as you walk over to a bench and sit. "What does knocked up mean?" He asks siting down next to you. "It means to get a girl pregnant." His face turns bright red and he focuses on the ground, unable to look at you. "Hey come on. I'm just joking. I knew you back then and there was no way a girl was going to ever get that close to you personally for even that to happen." You say rubbing his back trying to reassure him. "Be we were close. I remember." He says with worry in his eyes. "Bucky I promise you we don't have a child together." He quickly jumps up pulling you with him. "I know I was just messing with you." He says wiggling his eyebrows. "You son of a butt!" You say kicking his butt before running away. He quickly catches up to you and snakes his arm around you causing you to stop instantly. "You're a jurk you know that." You say out of breath. "And you're a punk. Now let's get that ice cream."
