The Red String
Chapter Three

1943
Brooklyn, New York

Bucky was beyond angry. He slammed the door to the apartment shut before rounding on Steve. "I can't fucking believe you." He snarled, "I told you not to do anything stupid, and you went and did something stupid."

"I'll be going over there with you, Buck. I'm going to be able to fight."

"I told you to stay here."

"You don't get to tell me what to do."

"That bite mark on your neck says different." Bucky stalked over, looming over Steve, struggling to control his rage. "You're my bitch, and you'll do as I say."

"What did you just call me?" Steve breathed, eyes narrowing.

"My bitch." Bucky snarled, slamming his hand against the wall, causing Steve to flinch. "Now you're going to tell them that your Alpha isn't allowing you to go to basic. Then you're going to come home and wait for me to get back."

"The hell I am!" Steve snapped, shoving Bucky hard. Bucky snapped, red bleeding into his vision. He didn't remember much of what happened next.

When Bucky came back to himself, he knotted Steve up against the wall. Steve was standing on shaky legs, breathy sobs escaping him. Steve was facing the wall and his wrists were bruised where Bucky had been holding them. He had bite marks across his neck and shoulders, all bleeding and looking like they, too, would bruise. His ass was red and Bucky hoped, with a sinking heart, that he hadn't torn his best friend. "Steve…?" He asked, his voice shaky.

Steve trembled beneath him, "'m still gonna go Buck." He whispered, "You can't stop me. You can't."

"What did I do?" Bucky mumbled, mostly to himself, "Steve, I'm so sorry."

"Don't." Steve sobbed, "Don't think you can apologize and I'll just forgive you. I told you to stop-" His voice broke.

Bucky shook. He couldn't remember. He'd been so angry and now he'd hurt Steve and he just couldn't remember. He stood and waited for his knot to go down before pulling out of Steve. He helped him to the bedroom before going and getting a rag. He cleaned Steve off slowly before hesitating. "I fucked up, royal I know, but I want to do something."

"What?" Steve asked, suspicious and that hurt because Steve had always trusted him.

"Wanna make you feel better. I leave in the morning…and you won't be long after me. We might not see each other for a long time and…you can say no, I'll sleep on the couch."

"Just…" Steve sighed, "If I tell you to stop…"

"I promise." Bucky said, kissing Steve's wrist, his eyes wet with tears he wouldn't shed. "God, Steve…"

"It wasn't really your fault. Your Alpha nature won out over your concern."

"Please don't try to justify what I just did to you. Please." Bucky pet a hand down Steve's side, "Just let me know if you get uncomfortable."

"I will." Steve replied.

Bucky nodded and straddled Steve's thin waist. He bent down and licked Steve's forehead, cleaning off the sweat there. He moved down Steve's cheeks to his neck, slowly licking and nuzzling the pale skin, licking up the blood from the careless bites. Bucky let out a small whine, kissing and lapping at the bites until the blood was gone. He then moved down to Steve's chest and stomach. Steve let out contented sighs and moans, tangling his fingers in Bucky's hair. Bucky smiled against the smooth skin of Steve's stomach and reached a hand up, gently pulling Steve's hands out of his hair, "One minute." He said.

The Alpha moved down to the Omega's feet and began licking again, moving first up his left leg, getting to his thigh and licking up the slick from his inner thigh. He moved back down to Steve's right foot and began licking upwards again, reaching Steve's right thigh and putting the Omega's leg over his shoulder.

"Is this okay?" Bucky asked, looking up at Steve.

"Yeah." Steve breathed out.

Bucky nodded and looked back down, pulling Steve's hips closer. He licked at the Omega's ass cheeks first before parting them, licking at his entrance. Bucky began sucking at the puffy entrance, licking his own seed from inside his mate. He was relieved that he didn't taste blood, so he hadn't ripped Steve. He kept licking and sucking until Steve was moaning and whimpering above him, leaking slick onto his tongue.

"Bucky, oh God." Steve gasped, clamping down on Bucky's tongue, grabbing his cock and pumping furiously. Bucky kept sucking and licking at his hole until Steve came, hand grabbing at him to hold him still. The Alpha growled but kept licking his mate's entrance until Steve finally relaxed. Bucky pulled away and placed Steve's leg back down on the bed.

"You okay?" Bucky asked, kissing Steve's hip.

"Yeah," Steve said, "Tired."

Bucky nodded and lapped the come away from Steve's stomach, cleaning his hand as well before laying down next to his friend. "Can I hold you?" He asked, chewing on his bottom lip.

Steve turned onto his side, pressing his chest against Bucky's, tangling their legs together. "Yeah," He replied, tucking his head against the Alpha's neck. Bucky wrapped an arm around Steve and held him tightly.

"So, I'm leaving in the morning…" Bucky said.

"You better be careful," Steve said, holding Bucky close, "Save some of the fighting for me."

"Just don't get yourself killed." Bucky said.

"That goes for you as well." Steve said, falling asleep in his mate's arms. Bucky kissed Steve on the forehead and fell asleep shortly after.
