We are sitting in the water, Bucky is just holding me in his arms. 
Dets: "I hate this."
Bucky: "What baby?"
Dets: "Sex is like a chore now. If Loki is right, and I don't have it, I won't have my magic. And if I really deny myself I will turn into a raging lunatic."
Bucky: "That doesn't make it a chore." He sits me up and turns me towards him. "It means that you are going to be one all powerful super person."
I snort at him while he continues.
Bucky: "Think about it. If you love the person you are having sex with, your power is increased correct?"
I nod
Bucky: "Do you love me?"
Dets: "Of course I do. You know I do."
Bucky: "So every time we have sex your power will increase. If anything I take that as a sign that we should be having more sex."
I laugh out loud at him.
Dets: "Leave it to you to find something good out of this news."
Bucky: "Do you not want to have sex with me then?"
Dets: "If we could get away with it, we would never leave the bed. It's like the first time every time with you. I just don't ever want you to think I am doing it to increase my power you know?"
Bucky: "I would never think that. I could never think that. Baby, your magic is a bi-product of us. It's not a reason. Hell, even if it were, that would not stop me from being so ridiculously enamored with you. You are the sexiest woman I have ever seen. Nothing could ever change the way I feel about you, or ever make me say no to sharing a bed with you."
Dets: "That was very sweet, and very cringey at the same time. Oh by the way. If you ever posture with that ridiculous masculinity again I will make you regret it. I do not play those fucking games James Barnes, so do not ever treat me like an object. I understand Loki was being a dick which is why I am not yelling at you for your display earlier."
Bucky: "What did I do?"
Dets: "You grabbed my arm and made me sit on your lap, while Loki watched. It was clearly a this is my toy now kind of move. Like you were marking your territory. I loath toxic masculinity which is why I always strayed away from being in committed relationships with men."
Bucky: "I understand, I'm sorry. I just felt like I needed to."
Dets: "I know you did baby, and I know Loki was being a dick, bringing up my past with him before we even had the chance to talk about our ex's. He did it on purpose. He wanted me to lose my cool. Hell I think he wanted me to go through 'The Changing' all to prove his theory."
Bucky: "That was a risky play. Your eyes were almost black when you told me to stay out of it. When you wouldn't stop punching him while he was on the floor was when he called for me to grab you. He said you were in a trance and I needed to wake you up. When I asked how he said he didn't know. I kissed you because every time I do, I feel the tension leave your body, I feel you relax completely. I knew if anything were going to snap you out of whatever trance you were in, it would be that."
Dets: "I guess we were made for each other huh?"
Bucky: "What do you mean by that?"
Dets: "No one's kiss have ever felt like yours. Like the one you gave me outside of the Russian base. Barely anything but I relaxed instantly. I was holding on to staying awake so hard."
