—♡—

Boredom was going to eat you alive.

Bucky Barnes had fallen into a depression since his last date, it had probably been the tenth one this month because you and Sam were oh so determined to get James Buchanan Barnes back out into the dating scene. And the dating apps were definitely not working. So he opted out. Bucky came through the door of your shared empty apartment and declared he was destined to be alone and threw himself on the couch– and it seems he hasn't gotten back up since then.

“So like, Steve is an asshole.”

You hummed, eyes glued to the television screen. “Wait until you figure out that's not even his real name.”

“Jesus.”

Having been there on the whole failed-date-depression thing, you joined Bucky on the couch and decided to help him catch up with the 20th century. So you introduce him to netflix and your favorite series– shameless. It was trashy and loud and nothing like Bucky had ever seen. He described it as a train wreck that he couldn’t keep his eyes off. You agreed. He likes it.

Anyways, that was about 2 or 3 days ago, give or take. Sam had been texting and calling you both, in his words, to get off your lazy heartbroken asses before he had to come over and rip the television off the wall. Sam also texts you in big capital letters.

FIX HIM.

You scoff at the message and grab another piece of pizza from the coffee table. You glance at Bucky on the other side of the coach, lying parallel to you. His 5 o'clock shadow had grown darker, as well as the bags under his eyes. Bucky is wearing one of his many stupid red henley shirts and some sweatpants, your eyes travel down his body, and his foot is nudged between your side and the couch. You poke it. He flinches, Bucky’s a little ticklish. But don't tell anyone that.

“Alright, Buck.” You snatch the remote and pause the show. “What's your problem?” He looks offended, like he wasn't expecting this conversation at some point.

“I don't know what you’re talking about.” he sends a glare to you, the reflection from the tv makes his eyes glossy and bright. He looks pretty good, for being couch-ridden depressed. “You know what im talking about '' you snark back. Bucky turns, his face lands flat into a pillow. A muffled and pained-groan escaped his lips. Swiftly, you reach across the man's body and grab the pillow.

“Gimme that!” bucky reaches, but you’re quick.

“Not until we fix your… dating problem.”

Bucky rolls his eyes. “Jesus. You make it seem like I'm some loser.” he sits up, scooting to the edge of the couch. You tilt your head and give a teased look. He notices.

“I know, I know…'' Bucky trails off, eyebrows furrowed close as he dramatically falls back onto the couch. Pick a spot man. Bucky sighs and continues. “I just keep overthinking everything, like Steve always told me about how I used to be, y’know? That charming, romantic boy from brooklyn that swooned girls everywhere he went.”

You punch his shoulder softly, to lighten the mood? You were so not going to let Bucky go all doctor raynor therapy sessions on you, especially over your pizza. “Dude, don't brag.”

“Seriously,” bucky says your name, seriously. “I've come to face the fact, that boy is gone. But, i just overthink, and it gets awkward and then they start nagging me about me and my past–”

“Nope!” you interject. “That is not nagging, buck. That's called getting to know your date.”

“And, we had the talk about if you were going to try dating that mean having to tell people about your past.” you speak, matter-of-factly, your finger pokes his chest.

“Whatever. I just tense up and get nervous, it's hard talking to people. It’s not like you or sam!” he waves his hands around, motioning to you. Your mouth opens to say something, but nothing comes out. You close your mouth. “Its just so stupid, dating is so different now. When did getting flowers become... weird?”

bucky looks confused, you could have sworn that sam and sharon gave him the run down on dating in the wonderful year of 2022. Guess not. “It's not weird, the standards have just gotten lower for men and dating.”

“More of a reason for me to be good at dating!”

“Oh poor you, old man!”

You throw his pillow back at him, Bucky grabs it before it hits his face. Almost, you thought. The room goes silent again, you lean back against the couch next to bucky. Your head turns to look at him, his eyes are shut. You take notice of his features, not your first time though. Your mind darts back to when he first came to the tower, when he was still recovering (i guess bucky still is recovering now) and barely spoke a word. But, you were, well– still are, a horrible insomniac and he had his night terrors that left him screaming awake. And Steve knew when he was awake and Bucky cared too much to keep Steve awake at night.

So, call it fate or call it a weird coincidence, you two found yourself in the commons room on late nights, which turned into sharing a bed. Two friends, sharing a bed to comfort each other. Totally platonic! And if the shoes fits. Bucky never had nightmares when he slept in your bed, maybe it was your brand of sheets? That was years ago and he still hasn’t told you that, maybe that was one of the reasons he agreed to buy an apartment with you.

Those nights, when you slept close to him (platonically!) you also, slept better and fell asleep much faster than normally. Which was a plus, but god– you could stare at him for hours. You wished to trance your finger along his jaw, or the curve of his nose, or maybe even just feel this skin on his cheek. You never indulged, you were scared you’d wake bucky and have to stop staring, is that creepy? Maybe, but he looked like he was sculpted by the gods so you’re sure they'd be very flattered knowing you were admiring their work. You’ve been doing that for years now and have yet to tell him about his beauty.

A quiet, breathy nose-laugh comes from bucky. You’re snapped from your thoughts and you see his eyes are open now. He didn't see you staring, did he?

“What?” you’re still looking at him. Bucky shakes his head, waving off your question.

You grab at his hand, the cold metal meeting your warm flesh, a comforting feeling. He doesn't flinch like he used to. You smile to yourself. “No! You can't do that and not tell me!”

“I can't say, really. It's kinda embarrassing.”

'`Oh?” you give him that look, that look that says ‘tell me or i'll cry.’ or maybe it's ‘tell me or i'll hurt you.’ whatever, it works.

“Don't give me that look, doll.” the nickname lulls off his tongue. You smile again. “Fine, okay. It's just… this last date. She– uh, she tried to kiss me and she was so close and i got nervous and tensed up, i panicked, really. Because i dont think ive actually kissed anyone since, well, the 40s.”

Your mouth gapes open. You don't mean to, really, but damn. No wonder he can't get a second date, the old man is practically a 13 year old boy when it comes to girls. Bucky glances over to you and sees your face. He screws his eyes shut in embarrassment and goes back to head in pillow mode. Maybe you'll tease him a bit more. “Buck, your virginity has practically grown back by now.”

“Oh, will you stop with that.” he playful smacks your leg. You laugh to yourself. And bucky swears he felt just a little bit lighter. Just a smidge.

Bucky sits back up again. Seriously pick a position to lay! He looks at you. Shifts his weight, shifting closer to you. He lays his head on your shoulder. You loved it when he did that.

“I'm never going to get laid.” he jokes, is he joking? You both laugh.

“You are shit out of luck, bucky.”

Suddenly, you had an idea. One that would go terribly wrong or terribly right. Maybe even wonderfully right.

You gulped. “Hey, bucky?”

He hums. bucky turned to look at you and you almost, just almost backed out on this very stupid and slightly self-indulgent idea. “I have an idea, to help you… get out of your shell. You can say no and hate it or me, and walk away and be mad at me for even suggesting this but…” you trailed off, slightly fiddling with your hands. Bucky's eyes brows furrowed slightly as he gave you a confused look.

“You can kiss… me. If you want, just to get you out of your shell, you know? And to make you more comfortable with the whole motion… of kissing.. Someone, anyone.” you keep talking, rambling. God, you need to stop talking. Finding the right words seemed so impossible. This idea sounded much better in your head, you fiddle with your fingers more.

He doesn't respond. Fiddle with fingers more. You screw your eyes shut and expect him to get up off the couch, finally, and be depressed in his room.

Bucky thinks for a moment, sucks in his lip. “Sure.”

Your eyes shoot open. ”what?”

Fuck, fuck, fuck–

“Only if you're comfortable with it, sure.” Bucky said. It was your turn to panic now, had you really thought this through? Did you really want to do this? Spoiler, yes you did. But you really didn’t think he’d actually agree to this, you assumed he’d say no and you two would, hopefully, just laugh it off and continue watching shameless.

“Doll? You okay in there?’ he smiled at you like this idea wasn’t crazy.

“Yeah, yeah, sorry. Just thinking..” you stopped yourself from speaking out your thoughts. You faced him. “You really wanna do this?”

Bucky just nodded and moved to face you. His eyes landed on you and just like that, a flip switched and you couldn't stop the word vomit.

“Seriously, I don't want to force you to do this or make you uncomfortable, also I really don’t want this to change anything between us, you know? Because i really like being your friend and if this jeopardized it that would be really bad-”

“Just shut up and let me kiss you.”

Then, suddenly. His lips slant against yours and bucky swears he’s in heaven. Swears that you're an angel. Bucky's hand instantly grabbed the back of your neck to quickly close the gap between you two. You sat there still under his grasp for a second, before snapping back to life and slowly beginning to kiss back. You'd never imagined being in this position years ago, hell even 30 minutes ago. Your hands raised to the sides of his face, this moment was so sensual and sweet it could rot your teeth. Bucky's lips were so warm and soft against yours, this felt like heaven. His tongue grazed your lips, you let him in and soon he danced in your mouth. It was all too sweet and hot. You had to cherish this moment while you could because this could, and probably, will be the only time you get to kiss him.

Pulling away slowly, your eyes made contact instantly. Surprise and… lust, flashed in Bucky's eyes. You were both breathing heavily and you glanced at his lips, they were pink and wet, even a little swollen. He had yet to say anything and it was getting harder to resist going in again. He sucked his bottom lip in and his eyes shot to your lips for a moment.

“Fuck it.” you breathed out.

And you dove into him, pushing him down onto the couch so you were on top of him as you connected your lips again. Your hands latched around his neck as he gripped your waist, pulling you even closer into him. The kiss was more aggressive this time, his hands were all over you as you started to trail yours down bucky's body, feeling how solid his chest was under his henley shirt.

“It's always been you.” bucky pulls away just far enough to murmur against your lips. Your body feels incredible hot. “I just wanted you.”

the world went quiet, your brain short-circuited and all you could focus on was his icy eyes and his hands holding your face. Was this a confession? or were you dreaming? oh my god. your mouth gaped open slightly.

“you’re telling me we could have done this months ago?”

Bucky's eyes crinkled and he laughed. you feel like you're on fire. and he dips down again.

artemis.. tell me why am i tearing up while reading a steamy scene 😀 oh don’t we love a stary eyed selfish boy.. this whole paragraph :

(yes, i quoted the whole paragraph and yes, i love every word. the bold ones really touched my heart)

he wanted to retain your attention, to occupy your thoughts, to make a bigger space for him in your heart. he was afraid of appearing weak, too needy, not worth the trouble. and no matter what it took, he wanted you to never run out of reasons to stay. however, for the jungkook of today, control is an abandoned form of self-destruction and he can tell you in confidence that ‘here i am in all my glory. there are unfixable, fractured parts of me and i am laying them out on the floor for you to see- you can take me or leave me, but i know you’ll always choose the former’ and ‘i am stubborn and i do not give up’ and ‘i want to buy a house in the countryside with you’ and most of all ‘i need your love.’

i love love love that the iw! drabbles are all connected because i live for the fact that he is so selfish of oc yet love her enough (and more and beyond) to sacrifice everything for her. putting away his needs just so she could be happy and comfortable BUT (i want to talk about the oc too!) she is also, too, selfish of him and always make him -not- sacrifice his needs and always have a solution for the situations so they both can be happy and comfortable together. i love that they’re selfish and willing to sacrifice for each other. because this :

the sun is about to rise in the east, and it is another day of existing in this beautiful and wretched world with you.

what in the poetry is that?! so beautiful 🥹🤍

for real if your works are in one physical book, it’d be full of annotations and colorful booktabs with wrinkled pages bc of how much i reread it.

aaaand i’m soo happy that your first therapy session went well! i hope the next ones will also be great and you’ll come home with a light heart and a happy face after. and thanks for your lovely reminder to have a good day and have some ice cream and some sun beam ♡ i love you artemis! have a great day! and have some great meal and ice cream!! here are some flowers for you 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

-🌷

TULIP ANONIE 😭 you just made me giggle out loud omgsjdhf but now i’m also tearing up :,) i was specifically nervous about this paragraph because i wanted y’all to understand jungkook deeper. so thank you thank you my love for loving him and oc with an open heart and mind it means the absolute world to me <3 🫂

for real if your works are in one physical book, it’d be full of annotations and colorful booktabs with wrinkled pages bc of how much i reread it.

and as a tumblr writer this is one of the most heartwarming compliments one could possibly receive 🥺 i think i still struggle to fathom that my works are being perceived! by many different people everywhere! in my tiny corner of the internet?! and you’re one of those who remind me that this is very much real. i love you! and thank you for always sending me such kind and positive energy! you made this an even more wonderful day <3 flowers for you as well :P 💐🌼🌸

HIIIII

can i request a fluff fic of Yunho cuddling the fem reader when their stressed from so much work? i’m not really sure what the difference is between a fic and a drabble or if their the same. but personally i like reading short fics. TY♡︎

Hello and thank you for this request! I am ALWAYS happy to write for Yunho. I hope this is to your liking

Cuddle Therapy

Yunho x GN! Reader

Word count:515

You walked through the door, the familiar burn pricking behind your eyes as tears flooded your vision. Work today had been hellacious, and all of the pent up emotions from the past 9 hours were finally surfacing. The biting anger at your co workers slacking off. The regret at your own inability to put your foot down and say 'enough is enough.' the frustration of your boss putting file after file on your desk because the rest of your team left early after you had picked up their slack. Again. You couldn't handle it anymore.

As the tears slid down your cheeks and muffled hiccups pushed from your lungs, you heard your lovely Puppyboi bounding down the steps, no doubt alerted to your presence when the door slammed behind you. You quickly wiped at your tears, hoping to cast them away before Yunho noticed.

Alas, you weren't quick enough, and the tall doe eyed man saw the small drops dewing your lashes. He immediately opened his arms, just for you to run, crashing into them. His lips brushed the crown of your head, fingers weaving into your locks in a gentle massage, effectively working to melt the stress away.

"Pumpkin, is it time for a cuddle Therapy session?" He asked against your hair. With an enthusiastic nod accompanied by a soft whine, your answer was obvious. Collecting you into his large frame, he walked you carefully up the steps again, where you were led to your shared bedroom.

Walking in, you found that he had already been planning a therapy session from the looks of things. Multitudes of soft blankets and stuffed animals adorned your bed, forming a cushiony nest. You looked at him, eyebrow raised and he scratched the back of his neck, grinning. "you have been so stressed lately, I wanted to give you a chance to wind down… let's go now!"

He sat in the middle of the fuzzy jungle, pulling you into his lap as his lips grazed your cheek, before he laid back, pulling you on top of him. His fingers found their way back into your hair, gently massaging your scalp, resulting in a soft and tired sigh.

You curled up into his chest, kissing his neck once softly as he drew a blanket over the two of you and pulled you closer. "it just seemed like you needed cuddles but would never ask for them. So I thought I'd help!"

You smile against his warm skin, humming. "Yunnie, I can't thank you enough. I think this Cuddle Therapy was just what I needed." You yawned as your eyes fluttered shut, the tension leaving your body at the movements of his hands as they left your hair to make small circles over your back.

Yunho smiled down at you, kissing your temple softly as your breathing evened out with sleep. "I would do anything to keep your stress away. But cuddles are always an effective medicine." He chuckled softly before switching off the nearby lamp and dozing off with you in his arms.
