001 wakanda
There's peace in Wakanda. Bucky had spent a little while under the ice while Shuri figured out a way to work on his deprogramming and while it's been a painful process, it's a necessary one and he's glad for all her work on the tangled knot that's HYDRA and the mess inside his brain. It's all wired incorrectly, a bomb that never went off but still needs to be defused, and he's scared every time she goes in there that something will go wrong and he'll attack her; it hasn't happened yet.
When he isn't working with her or Ayo, he has a little hut to himself where there are goats and sometimes children come visit him to see the curious white man who has taken up on the fringes of Wakandan society. Steve has visited a few times but when they announce a visitor this time, it's apparently not Steve. They're still at the palace being received, though, so Bucky takes the time to tidy up where he's been staying as much as he can one-handed; he's neat by nature but he also isn't used to having company come by either.
Who could it be? Sam? Sharon? Bucky isn't sure who would come to visit him aside from those two and Steve. Tony Stark certainly wouldn't and he isn't sure the Wakandan government would even let him in. Would Wanda come to see him? He's not certain. He imagines she's in hiding the same as he is, trying to avoid the Sokovia Accords and their inevitable consequences on her. It seems she's suffering more from them than anyone else, even himself, so he doesn't think she'd risk coming to see him.
He catalogs the other people he knows and he comes up with Natasha. He's got a strange history with her. He's shot her twice while the Winter Soldier but curiously, both times, he'd shot her non-fatally. It's almost as if he'd known that she needed to live even if he didn't know her and that's not what the Winter Soldier does. He doesn't leave loose ends. He kills whoever is necessary, even an innocent bystander, and Natasha has been actively opposing him both times he's encountered her. Even when he'd been activated by Zemo he'd attacked her but didn't take her down. There's something in him that protects her and he wonders why that is and always has. He doesn't know why she'd visit him but he wouldn't turn it down, either, so when he hears someone at the door he calls for them to come inside.
"Come in, I'm not busy." He's just finishing up wiping down a counter in what counts for his kitchen and when he comes into view of the visitor, he sees that it is Natasha. Curious.
"Hi."

"Hi."
no subject
"I didn't do anything for you, though," he murmurs. "I have to do something about that. I can't just...not. You deserve it."
no subject
"If you wanna get me off, I can show you one of my favorite old tricks we used to do?" She asks curiously but doesn't make an effort to move away from him right now she's just happy to be close and laying half on top of him.
no subject
Or maybe not because clearly it was something they did together and Natasha had enjoyed it.
"What did we used to do?"
no subject
“Sit up against the headboard because you are very much going to enjoy the show, I promise…” she says moving to push to sit up and kneel on the bed next to him.
no subject
"All right, I guess I'm gonna see a show."
no subject
She crawls over his lap to straddle him, taking his hand and holding it out. She adjusts to fingers and a thumb into the right position and slides slowly onto the fingers, adjusting his thumb a little bit to get it just right as she starts to grind slowly against his thumb hips rolling in an easy pattern as she grins down at him.
“God I forgot how good this could be …”
no subject
Natasha certainly feels a way about it, though, because her face shows she's enjoying it and he thinks he needs to just relax and go with it. If she's enjoying it, after all, shouldn't he be enjoying it too?
no subject
She reaches for his other hand and brings it to one of he breasts that bounce with each thrust of her hips. She’s just trying to make him relax and properly enjoy it cause she still can’t figure out if he is.
no subject
"No, I can't feel anything," he says. It's wistful, though, because he wishes that he could.
no subject
“You used to like to watch me do this for hours, orgasm after orgasm ….”
no subject
And it definitely looks like her thing.
"What kinda stuff did I used to say to you? Did I teach you English dirty words?"
no subject
It had gone from so much fun, to trying to continue it after he came and she feels gross now.
no subject
God, he doesn't even know what to do. He doesn't even know what to do. He doesn't want Natasha to feel unwanted by him, especially when she'd made him feel so wanted before.
"I'm sorry."
no subject
It's a long moment before she turns on her side so she can look over at him.
"This has absolutely nothing to do with you not being him, please stop using that as an excuse."
no subject
Bucky just wants to make Natasha happy and he feels like he's let her down just now.
no subject
"You don't have to be, but you can't look at me like I'm fucking horrible James. You just have to say things. Change the action on whatever it is... You're allowed to be different but you can't judge me for it. You have to use your goddamn words."
no subject
"And I'm not ever going to judge you for anything. You like what you like, Natasha. There's nothing wrong with that. I don't judge you for what you like, I promise I don't."
no subject
"You are not listening to me. Stop it. Stop it!" She adds the second one with emphasis. His lack of ability to communicate is driving her nuts at this point and she just shakes her head.
"I don't give a shit that you're not him. I don't give a shit that I didn't get off. I do give a shit that you just keep apologizing and won't fucking talk to me. Be you! Talk to me! Just fucking give me a chance and stop trying to be so sure you know what I want, you fucking idiot."
no subject
"What am I supposed to say? The woman I'm falling in love with tells me this is how she wants to get off and I do it but it's strange to me because I've never done it before," Bucky says. He knows he's raising his voice and he shouldn't.
"I just want to be with you, Natasha. That's all. I keep fucking it up because I'm scared. You mean everything to me."
no subject
It had been something simple because grinding on him had felt good, so the continuation of that had made sense for her. It obviously hadn't for him however.
"How about instead of being scared, and guessing. You just tell me -- you were uncomfortable. What made you uncomfortable about it? Was it because you'd already come?"
no subject
Bucky sighs a little. "But I didn't want to disappoint you because you said you liked it so much and we used to do it together. That's all."
no subject
"I'm not afraid of this arm, and I'm not afraid of the other one either," She assures her and leans in to lean against his shoulder to try to give him some affection. "It's not some sexual object, it's just a part of you, but if you don't want me to touch it because it makes you uncomfortable."
She lightens the conversation by adding, "It's just the same about if I was like, please don't touch my ass I don't like that."
no subject
Bucky has to separate it that way because he doesn't remember that time and he can't pretend that he does and hurt them both.
"But next time I'll speak up if it's something I don't like."
no subject
"But I don't want to have sex with him, I want to have sex with James. It feels like you can't trust me on this and it's frustrating to me..." she admits, but her thumb is stroking over the back of his hand.
"You didn't want to have sex with me, so I offered something else, it's okay -- I don't react badly to a change of plans, I was okay with not having sex, why wouldn't I be okay with a different way to get off? It hurts that you don't trust me."
no subject
Bucky hopes this fixes the problem. Maybe if he doesn't think about the previous him, it will be all right.
"Is that all right? Can we do that?"
