She didn't mention the meeting with James, she didn't want to have to be on real house arrest. Though she liked the thought of being in an apartment with James for long periods of time, she still liked the idea of running around the city with him as well. So meeting up with Steve Rogers, or how her shoe magically popped back up never came around. But the weekend, the weekend did come back around. She Robin had another lucky break when both of the kids went off to a friends house for the whole weekend, which was a miracle because when one was able to get out the other one never did. Robin thought that maybe Simon had something to do with that though, making sure that her and James got a little alone time, that or he just didn't want to be around this weekend. But Robin really didn't mind, she would have found stuff for the four of them to do, but hey, she wasn't going to complain about it just being her and James the whole weekend either.
So on Saturday she just decided to allow James to sleep, though she had to basically pull the man to get him to sleep in her bed, beside of her, she had been able to the night before. Getting out of bed without waking the man up, that was one of the hardest things that she had ever done before in her life. She had to pry his arm off of her waist and then basically slither out of bed. Robin felt like she had to walk on eggshells after that moment, though James could sleep for fourteen hours without waking, he could also wake up to the littlest of things, like her sister snoring in the next room over. At that moment, Robin lightly closed the door and worked on her, new, normal routine. First she hoped into the shower, being quick just in case James woke up and wondered where she was. Next it was time to get all of her work done for the day before James would finally wake up and she would start making breakfast. . . or brunch depending on when he really woke up. She felt silly waiting for a man to wake up to really get the day started, but she honestly didn't care either.
She noticed that it was raining again and felt like screaming because hell, if she wanted to live in a puddle she would have gone and lived in Seattle! But then she remembered, it could be worse, it could be a lot worse. It could have been snowing and snow, was something that the girl hated more than anything in the world, it was too cold for Robin's liking and made everything harder. But when she checked the weather she got almost too excited and started to jump around like a child, there was a 100% chance of a thunderstorm throughout the day. Those types of rainy days were the kind that Robin loved, the lightening, the thunder, everything about it just made Robin smile and shudder when it happened. Even as a child as had been the one to shut off all of the lights in the house and get as close to a window as she could to get the best view of the storm. Usually now she would have had to hold onto Cecilia and tell her that everything was going to be okay, but now, all she had to do was get the best view of the storm that she could, sit back, and relax.
Robin shut off all of the lights in the house, though there were really none on because of James still sleeping, and pulled her comfy blue chair as close to the window as she could and started to get all of her work done before it started. And when it did, it looked like it was going to take everything out with it. The black clouds were the first sign that it was coming and then boom it hit and it hit hard. Robin was like a child watching their favorite show, bouncing up and down in her seat with just pure joy on her face. But then she heard it, it sounded odd at first, like a kitten mewing, but then it got louder and louder, the noises leading her back into her own bedroom to find James tossing and turning in the bed where she had left him. He was still in a dream-like trace, but he was terrified, she then realized that the noises were coming from him, James sounded like he was in agony as she jumped onto the bed and started to try to get him out of his trace.
" James, I'm right here, it's okay, it's only thunder, I'm right here for you. James, it's just thunder, nothing it hurting you, it's just me. It's just me and you right now, it's just me and you. James, James, common come back to me. James!" She whispered as she pulled the hair out of his face and felt the panic coming to her body as she knew that it was doing nothing to calm him. Her whole body started to freeze up as she didn't know what to do or how to help me.
That's when she remembered when she was young this happening to her parents when they would get time off. When here mother was pregnant with Simon they had basically been sent off to someplace safe until she had the baby, both of them being on long-term leave. It had been one of the funnest times over her life, having both of her parents there with her for so much longer than normal. She loved each and every minute that she had gotten with them, even when her mother was irritable or when she was craving weird things, Robin just went along with it and ate pickles dipped in ice cream with her. But then one night she woke to hear screaming coming from her parents bedroom and had expected the worst.
She had crept in, a lamp from her bedroom in hand as a weapon, to find her father had gone into one of his post-traumatic stages where he just lost it, it had spurred out of a nightmare. She had tried to keep quite, so that she would not bother anything, but she found that she was scared when she saw her mother shaking and asked if she could do anything to help. Her mother told her to go into her room and lock the door, but Robin had stayed at the doorway and watched them, he father panicking and her mother being able to calm him down. He kept crying out and this made both her mother and Robin cry, she hated seeing the both of them in pain, they were heroes, they weren't supposed to cry. Her mother's whole frame shook ass she tried to talk her father out of whatever he was going through, at the time Robin did not know what was happening, all she knew that was that dad was crying and shaking and screaming and that he was not responding to anything that her mother was saying. So finally her mother just broke down, Robin nearly when in to help because she thought her mother had gone into labor or she had been knocked out when she finally heard what she was doing to calm her father.
She remembered how her mother put her head right up this head ear, she kept kissing him on the temple, and than she sang to him. It had been her favorite song when she had grown up, she had sang it to all three of the children, so when her husband had needed a lulling song, Robin's mother choose The Sound of Silence. Whenever Robin had been scared, or when Simon would crawl into bed with their parents during a storm, or when Cecilia was sick, their mother would sick it to them, to calm them and because it was something that she had done since they were all in her womb, her voice could sooth the roughest of oceans. It slowly worked, her father slowly came out of it, his whole body shaking as he did so. But her mother knew the little things to do, or she thought that her mother had known, Robin had never done it before. They had been put through that kind of stuff at S.H.I.E.L.D, Robin had barely passed through some of the training, she even knew that she did not have what it took to be a full blown agent. She doubted that her father would have killed her mother no matter what, James had a tendency to strangle her on accident, but Robin knew that she had to do something. So, with her whole body shaking, she angled herself so that she had a leg wrapped around his body, a hand lightly placed on his face with the other one wrapped around his hand, she started to sing to him. Her voice shaking the whole time that she did it, trying to bring James back without scaring him too much as she did so.
Robin really doubted if it did anything, but finally, James started to come down from it, he started to realize that it was all a dream, and then he finally came to notice that Robin had been there with him the whole time, voice shaking as she just kept singing the song for him. She had never had the voice of her mother, who sounded like an angel when she sang, hell Robin knew that she could not carry a tune in a bucket let alone sing, but James did not say anything, he just looked at her and smiled as she finally finished the song, as she lightly rubbed her finger against his cheek, making sure that he still knew that this was the real life and that she was here for him. With each crack of thunder she would get a little louder, holding onto him a little tighter, but she could still see the fear that was in his eyes, she didn't know what it was from, but she did everything that she knew that her mother had done for her father. She lightly kissed his temple, feeling the sweat that was dripping from him as he lightly took a hold of her hand, holding onto it desperately.
" Didya know there's a thunderstorm outside?" He whispered when she was finally done, making Robin burst out into a smile as he lightly moved the hair out of her face, his body still shaking a bit.
" Yeah. . . yeah I kind of looked it up a little earlier. So. . . ya wanna talk about it?" She asked as she kissed him temple once again.
" I. . . I. . . I still see them. I never really knew who they were before, but I think that they were soldiers, my brothers of war. Before I thought, well, I thought that they were something worse but I'm starting to be able to piece everything together. I can hear the sound of bombs, I . . . I can see all of their faces before me, the ones that died before. . . before. . . before something happened. We were fighting and then. . . then the bombs went off, the screaming, they sounded like wild animals wailing in the night." He said and she could see the tears coming to his eyes as she lightly wiped them away before kissing him on the forehead.
" You couldn't have done anything more than what you did, James. You are a hero, you saved the lives of basically the entire world with what you did back then. You are someone who can say that they fought off the Nazi's, hell you are more of a hero than Captain America. We were just a guy, someone who didn't have any magical serum running through their system, and you saved the lives of so many people. I think that your fellow soldiers would thank you for what you did. The bombs have stopped, the screams have been silenced, the dead laid down their lives to save the lives of others, and you. You. . . you had to live because you have a higher purpose." She smiled as he did as well, a still painful smile though. " Like saving a damsel in distress every now and then." This, this seemed to make most of the pain go away from within his smile.
" Вы единственный свет в моей жизни." He whispered to her, making her take a second to realize that he was not speaking in English, or anything near English. But whatever he was saying, she liked the way that it sounded, the way that his lips puckered when he was talking and the way that it flowed. It took her breath away for a moment.
" I beg your pardon?" She asked as James smiled lightly.
" Sorry, I forget that not everyone speaks Russian." He said, his voice sounded like he had gargled glass. " I said, you are the only light in my life." He whispered as he brought her in for a kiss
" So, James, when did you learn Russian?" She smiled, propping her head up onto her shoulder.
" Same old story." He whispered as he kissed her again. But each time that the thunder would hit, she would swoop in and give him a kiss, making him forget completely about the thunder.
" Stessa storia, giorno diverso." Robin whispered back to him in Italian, but to her surprise he knew what she was saying.
" Same story, different day. Yeah, that basically sums me up." He whispered as he wrapped his arm around her waist before flipping their bodies so that he was on top of her, making her gasp because she had not been expecting it. " But I think that I still have a few tricks up my sleeve."
" Oh yeah, I thought that you had forgotten everything? My little amnesia boy from the alley. But, from what I have heard, Bucky Barnes was somewhat of a ladies man, got a lot of tail back in his time. Even if it was just because women would fall for his good looks and hey, a military uniform never hurt either." Robin said through a moan as he lightly bit on her neck again and she wrapped her fingers through his hair, drawing him in closer.
" Is that so?" He whispered as she bit on her lips.
" Oh yeah, prove to me that you are really him." She whispered as he started to kiss up and down her body, Robin pulling him by the hair to draw him in closer to her.
Their kisses became desperate, needing to be with each other more and more. Robin couldn't help herself as she bit her way from his ear down to his neck and all the way down to his chest before making her way back up to his lips and giving them a soft nip before going back to kissing him. She needed him, needed him marked to start that he was hers, all hers, that no one from Hydra to Captain America could take him away from her as she left little hickey's that were already starting to turn pink going up and down his body. She was his, he was hers, and no one was going to take them away from one another, she was determined about that. She could feel his hand, wrapped tightly around her hip and knew, that even if he didn't mean to, that it was going to bruise a bit, leaving his mark on her. His lips leaving hers as he explored, kissing each and every rib that still faintly protruded from her skin, pulling her pajama bottoms just enough to kiss her hipbones before coming back up to her lips. Making her moan as she realized how much he was worshiping every inch of her body, though they were being a little rough, a little mean, he was still treating her as if she were made of glass - - just as if it the glass was the kind that did not break too easily. - -
That's when Robin finally realized how many scars James had, his whole body seemed like it was a battlefield. She started to go for his body, kissing each and every one that was visible and within reach and lightly tracing the ones that she could not with her fingernails, she could feel every hair on his body come alive as she did so before she finally pulled off her own shirt, flinging it onto the ground. Robin did her best to be gently with his scars, she couldn't tell how fresh they were or how they had gotten onto his body, but she worked her away through each and every one as James kept his fingers wrapped around her waist. She got more and more turned on with every crack of thunder, the lightening the only thing in the whole apartment to light up the room and make them be able to see one another. She could feel her heart in her chest, she could feel each and every motion from the both of their bodies, but she loved each and every moment. He whispered little things to her in Russian, knowing that she would not understand, but in all honestly she loved every word that he was saying no matter what it was that he was saying, and she would say different little dirty things that she knew from other languages with the small moans that she was able to get out. She could tell that he knew most of what she was saying though as she finally slipped off the rest of her clothes.
" Well atleast this is something that I remember." James said with a smile as all Robin could do was moan out in pleasure. After that, they were both happy that there was a 100% chance of thunderstorms all day long and were even hoping for them to go into the night.
