Thank you all for your kind comments and follows! This chapter is something I have never tried in writing a story in English. I was trying to make the emotion out of those conversations, hope you might feel the same way as the characters do, if so, then I can be confident in this part! If not, let me know how to make it better!
"You room is on that way" Bucky lets his arms down, and shows the way,
"It's good to see you" Cia replies, and walks away. She feels her face is all blushed, and her heart beats like it's about to coming out of her, which are the ways she never felt before.
Dinner time, Thor is here to stay for a couple nights to help Avengers arrange their plan in defending the coming enemies. Everyone is in the room and having lots of fun in chatting.
"Cia, this is a perfect wine, you should try it," Sam says and hand a glass of red wine to Cia,
"Alright, I will try some" Cia gladly take over the glass.
"Wait, Thor, did you take some time to go to see Jane recently? I heard she is on to something great in her field" Wanda asks,
"Well, I didn't, she needs focus, and I will catch up with her once the battle is done." Thor drinks up the wine in his glass which is the one he brought from Asgard. "Do you guys know about the culture in Fieotimo?" Thor suddenly wants to pull up this topic.
Everyone's looking at Cia, well, she didn't say much before.
"Well, this is the culture that our people in Asgard are all admire about," Thor says, "It's really fascinating, you know the people in Fieotimo only have one life partner in their lives?"
"God, how is that possible!" Tony can't believe in his ears,
"You can call it fate, it's like someone gives them the instruction of finding the right person in life, doesn't matter when you find the one, some people figure it out at an early age, and some people has to wait until their hair turned gray." Thor takes a sip, "The thing is that they only fall in love once during their lifetime," Thor says, "All they have to do, is to find the person that's meant for him or her, and just happily ever after"
Natasha is surprise at this news, looking at Cia "Oh my god, that sounds very romantic,"
"Wait, but how do you know it's the right person?" Vision asks Cia,
"Yeah, what if he meets somebody else first?" Sam wonders,
"But I think that sounds just right in a relationship, I mean you only get with the right one, otherwise, why waste time?" Steve throws his opinion into the conversation,
"No, how about hormone? How can they control it? "Tony is being very sophisticate.
Cia laughs when hearing they arguing about her culture, she is glad that they are interesting in her planet, she stands up and says, "Guys," her voice holds everyone's attention, "I am sorry, but we just know. We wait, until the right person come to our life and share the world with us," Cia smiles at everyone "And that's it. See? Cap agrees with me." Steve smiles back.
"But now, how do you find the right one?" Bucky asks, inside of him, he is a bit unpleased by knowing there were supposed to be someone else to be with Cia.
Everyone holds a second for Bucky's sudden question, they are afraid that these words might break Cia again,
Cia looks at Bucky, who sits in front of her. She doesn't know how to answer this question, because she never thought of it since the disaster.
"Well, there is another of her kind back in Asgard, maybe we will see?" Thor is a bit drunk, he doesn't really know what he's talking about, he just feels like it.
Cia is quite speechless, "Uh…maybe." She just responses a word without her intention. She really doesn't want this topic to goes on anymore. She sits back down, feels upset, but trying very hard not to showing it.
"Well, alright, Vision, you said that you wanted to…" Tony changes the topic with Vision, and other people just go through the things they want to talk about.
Bucky sits next to Cia, "Hey, I am sorry," Bucky says, "I didn't know what I was saying" he apologizes. Cia looks at him, "it's fine, don't bother." She puts up her smile at him, she doesn't want her problem to upset Bucky.
"So, do you like your new room?" Bucky just wants to talk with her, doesn't care how lame it is. "Oh, I love the wall color, it's light blue" Cia is happy to take a conversation that's more comfortable. "I picked it, I thought you might like it." Bucky looks right into her eyes, hopes to see something different from there. "Really? Thanks." Cia collide her left shoulder against Bucky's right, and drinks up the rest of the wine in her glass. "Sam, pull me some more." She says.
Tony's phone rings, it is Fury.
"Sorry to bother, seems like you guys are having a good time," Nick says.
"You don't look like you are sorry" Tony widen the image of the call to everyone,
"I am not, those Frost giant alliances are closer than we know. Seems like there is someone very powerful works for Hydra is helping them out. As far as I know, their first target goes to you guys. Prepare yourself for that. The estimated time is tomorrow." Nick stops, "If you can't take care of this attack, their next ambition would be Earth." Nick ends the call.
"Cap, what are we going to do?" Tony asks,
"Be prepared, and go to sleep," Steve says, ignores that everyone is shocked by his words "They want us to be unprepared, and let's be that way, if they find out we knew this, they might change their target on innocent people." Captain makes a very nice suspect perspective.
"Cia, why don't we hear some of your idea in fighting those giants?" Vision turns to Cia, picks up a bottle of wine and pull into Cia's glass.
"Yeah, he's right. Let's just enjoy the night and do what Cap says." Tony leans to the couch, relaxed himself, waiting for Cia's opinion.
Cia looks at everyone, and takes a sit, "Well… their feature is that they will…" she started to talk, giving everything she knows about them to the Avengers.
This night, everyone goes to bed on time.
Somehow, Cia lies in bed, and her eyes are wide opened. She worries. Facing those creatures that take over her planet without mercy, could she really keep a calm mind in fighting with them? Bad memories come to her mind, she isn't breaking down, but she is shaking from up and down.
'knock, knock' "It's me," Bucky knocks on Cia's door, "Can I come in?" he asks,
"Sure," Cia says, sits up on her bed, pulls herself away from her thoughts.
Bucky walks in, with his pajamas on, it's medal grey, suits him very well. "Uh, I think you might like this to help you get a better sleep," His hands are holding a cushion, "You probably don't remember, but you seem really like this cushion when you came back late on the other day." He explains.
Cia smiles, "I don't really remember that, still, thanks." She takes the cushion to her arms.
And the awkward moments go on, neither one of them are planning to speak.
"Do you.." "Can I.." They sudden both speak at the same time, "No, you go." Cia insists.
"Can I stay with you tonight?" Bucky asks,
Cia surprises,
"I mean, I don't want you to be alone, especially tonight," Bucky says, "I know how hard it must feel,"
Cia still says nothing, she is still thinking about how to response,
Bucky quickly adds, "I am sorry to disturb you, but I can sleep in the couch or even floor…I…I… " He doesn't know how to go on, he is just simply want her to be well, he thought that if he's with her, she might be stronger to face the coming incidents.
"Can you… put your arms around me like you did in the morning?" Cia says as she drops a tear, she couldn't hide her unstable emotion anymore. She knows, she needs someone to be there for her more than ever. And she hates to be all alone when she can't handle her own emotion. This is not something she would do, but somewhere inside of her forces her to ask so.
Bucky isn't expecting this answer, he reaches out his palms and warms her pale, shaking face, wipes away the teardrop by his thumb, saying nothing.
He crawls onto bed, it's a twin bed, Cia moves aside and it fits just fine for 2 people to cuddle to sleep.
Bucky's warm chest against Cia's, both of their silky pajamas are slipping with each other. His right arm used for her pillow, and he uses his medal hand to massage the back of her neck. This feeling is more than perfect for both of them.
Cia looks up at Bucky, trying to say something to explain, but Bucky doesn't want to hear anything, "Stop thinking, now just sleep. He says.
She smiles, then puts her head into his neck, she knows she isn't alone, at least for tonight.
