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
He doesn't remember doing this even though he knows he has before and so it feels new, in a way. It feels like something he's only done with her. His memories of sex are all hazy and the only clear ones are the ones with Natasha in them.
no subject
"Mmm, you're really good at that.." she murmurs between gentle moans making sure he knows how much she likes it.
no subject
She's been vocal enough that he knows where the good spots are and he focuses, sucks against her clit a little and works one of his fingers in to add to it. Maybe it's not what they were doing before, the thing she wanted, but it's something that satisfies her all the same.
no subject
"James please...." she whines a little desperately at him.
no subject
The way she's rocking up against his mouth is promising, though, and he works his fingers faster, too, and focuses his tongue on all the places she seems to be enjoying the best. He thinks he could do this for hours but Bucky hopes that Natasha will be coming sooner rather than later.
no subject
She doesn't have quite words to beg him yet as she catches her breath for a moment but her hand that has been tugging on his hair the whole time is pulling him up her body desperately trying to get him close for kisses and clinging.
no subject
"Guessing that was all right? No need for improvement?"
Bucky doesn't wait for confirmation before kissing her messily, passion making him sloppier than he might normally be. This feels good and right and he hopes they can have more of these moments and less of the uncertain ones like earlier.
no subject
"How do you feel, James?"
no subject
"What about you? You sounded like you were having a great time but you know, can always hear it out loud."
no subject
"It was good, but I also see I was right about something else as well..."
no subject
"You love it when you're right, don't you?"
no subject
"I got somewhere perfect for you to put that you know."
no subject
"Give me a second. Been a long time."
no subject
"Take as long as you need.. that feels real nice..." she murmurs against his lips reassuringly.
no subject
"Feels damn good," he says, kissing her quickly.
no subject
"Take all the time you need, just do what feels good."
no subject
"I want to be the best you've ever had," he confesses. "I want you to only ever want me."
no subject
"You fit perfect right here.." she assures him.
no subject
Bucky isn't exactly thinking so much as feeling at the moment and everything he feels is good. Amazing, really, because he's never been attracted to someone the way he's attracted to Natasha.
Natasha has shifted her hips and he's hitting her deeper now than before and it's almost too much. He knows he's making strangled sounds that sound pathetic but he doesn't care.
no subject
It's been hard, it's been weird, but more then all this, this is good.
"Whenever you're ready..." she moans reassuringly against his lips.
no subject
"I'm falling in love with you," he murmurs. "Maybe I was already in love with you and didn't remember. I don't know. It's hard to explain."
no subject
"You don't have to explain..." she says it really soft, fond, trying to make sure that it helps him relax a little more. "Whatever it is I'm good with. I'm here."
no subject
"I know I want you to stay, though. For right now - for tonight."
no subject
"I can only stay for a couple days, but until then you're stuck with me, okay?" she offers him fondly stroking a thumb across his cheek.
no subject
Eventually, the world might want him to leave Wakanda and do something in service to the Avengers or whoever might handle a threat but for now, he can rest and heal and maybe work on this with Natasha.
"I would keep you, though, if I could."
