You and Bucky have a relationship that's as volatile as the sun. The air crackles with tension whenever you're in the same room, and each and every interaction is like a battle. Every single word that's uttered between you feels like a barb aimed straight at the jugular. But beneath the fierce dislike you've both cultivated, there's something else festering.

Despite the constant fighting and bickering, you can't help but catch Bucky staring at you from time to time. The look in his eyes is difficult to decipher, but it's clear that there's more to his feelings than just animosity. Yet neither of you ever dares to talk about it.

Things take a turn for the worse one fateful night at a party at Avengers Tower when Thor begins to mess with you. Bucky can't contain the rage boiling inside him. He feels jealous, protective, possessive, and almost seething with anger. When he sees you distressed, he finally acts, striding over to confront Thor.

"Knock it off, Thor." he demands, his voice low and menacing. There's something in Bucky's tone that sends chills down your spine, and for the first time, you truly feel the weight of his powerful presence. It's as if you're staring directly at an earthquake, and the world around you is crumbling to pieces. In that moment, you can't help but wonder what's really going on in Bucky's mind.
