Predator and Prey (Bucky Barnes x reader)

warning: Abuse, torture, choking, beating

Summary: She was his reward and nothing else but a little part of him want more and the majority of him just wanted to wrap his finger around her neck.

Prompt: People think the lion fell in love with the lamb but it was the other way around. The lamb fell in love with the lion...

Right before he broke her heart; Before he destroyed her; Before he tore her into pieces...

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb..."

The Lion and The Lamb. He was the lion and she was the lamb.

He remembers the first time he met her. After the mission he was sent to his cell to find a girl young age 14 to 15 sitting on his cot. "your reward" the guard said then slammed the door and locked them in. It took him a moment to adjust to the dark the only source of light coming from under the door. The Girl. The girl sat on cat barefoot in a small black dress that reached her thighs. She was trembling like a leave looking down.

A reward she was. she was for the soldier to do whatever he wanted to release, beast or ignore. She was his to do with. and he did.

Stepping forward he took her chin and made her look at him. Tears streamed down her face lips quivering yet she made no sound. He roughly pushed her down to his cat and wrapped his metal fingers around her throat but didn't squeeze, she didn't make a sound she didn't move. She bent to his will without a sound. He didn't know what to do with her.

Picking her up by her throat her feet dangling off the floor as he threw her across the room. He watched as her body collided with the wall before collapsing on the floor only a small gasp escaping her lips. She crawled back into a corner of the room or cell. The soldier took a seat on his cot.

He was the Predator and She was the prey. And a pretty prey she was.

She didn't have a name or at least she never told him. He had grown to call her girl and the two eventually fell into a routine.

One day when the soldier returns from a mission hurt, the nurse was busy treating other soldiers. A guard tossed a first aid kit and demanded she fixed him hesitatingly at first but she did.

Her hands were soft and gentle unlike any other that touched him he desired more. He began to purposely injure himself so she'd fix him and thus their routine began.

The soldier hated it how easy she wormed her way into him. she went from sleeping in the corner of the room to his cot. His hands went from wrapping around her throat to her waist.

Every time he thought about his hands they found their way back to her neck. But instead of laying still and letting tears stream down her face as he slowly tighten his grip in attempt to stop her air flow or snapping her neck, maybe before, her face would be dry she'd smile and gently place her hands over his her voice broke and gasped she said

"It's okay. I forgive you."

He did not want that. His hands squeezed tighter and tighter as she repeated over and over again.

"I forgive you, I forgive you, I forgive you". And when she had no air to make sound with the mouth the words.

This was not how it was supposed to happen. Not like this, he was the lion and she was the lamb. He the predator, she the prey. This was not the way. A small part of him wanted to hold her close and stroke her hair and protect her. But the majority of him wanted to squeeze until she couldn't breathe, beat her until she couldn't stand, use her until she was useless, the majority of him wanted a corpse underneath as she mouth 'I love you' the majority of him wanted blood on his finger. He wanted so badly to end her, end it all but a small part of him kept her alive, Kept her barely breathing, kept her on the edge of death.

The lamb fell in love with the lion... even though he tried to eat her whole.

It wasn't decades later when the majority of him was gone and the small part had grown that he saw her again. White dress this time accompanied with white flats. Standing tall hands neatly folded behind her back she looked confident innocent, completely opposite of their first meet. She looked to be in her early twenties maybe, possibly late teens. So innocent.

"Everyone I'd like you to meet -"

"(y/n) (l/n)" Bucky said interrupting Fury and stepping forward to introduce her.

After leaving Hydra Bucky actually looked her up and got all the information in her. Her name was (y/n) (m/n) (l/n). If memory served him right she was 14 years old when they first meet and today she'd be 22 years old. She was born in (hometown) and went missing at 13 her parents and older siblings died in a car accident and she was never found.

"you know each other" Steve asked a motioning between the two. Bucky had never mentioned the girl before. This made Steve unease and cautious. If she was from the past it wasn't a good past.

"Yeah sort of," Bucky said walking closer to her she took two steps back he stopped moving. He remembered what he did to her he could never forget and he knew she should never forgive. He hides his metal arm behind his back. He took a step back and held out his hand for a handshake. "It nice to see you again. In a better situation"

"It's ... hello, soldier" and as she gently touched his hand and their skin for the first time in a very long time came together so gently. For the first time ever their touch was gentle.

"Bucky, I go by Bucky now"

And so the Lion fell in love with the Lamb.
