Chapter Text
It's just like any normal day for James Buchanan Barnes, except today was the day he was invited to THE Tony Starks party, Tony Stark whose dad owns the University. This would be great he would hang out with Bruce and Thor and possibly Loki if he had been invited. Loki was special to Bucky, he was someone he knew he could talk to even in his darkest times. Loki was there for him and he was there for Loki. He had been there for Loki since Thor reached out to him almost a year ago asking for help. Loki had been abused emotionally and physically by the school bully Thanos when they started to go out. Bucky always protected Loki and in return Loki always protected him. Bucky wasnt gonna go to this party but Bruce said that his crush Steve, the head of the basketball team was going to be there and he knew that a lot of crazy things happened at Tony's party's so maybe tonight he could admit his feelings for Steve and if it didn't work out he could blame it on the alcohol. As long as Loki was at the party as well because Loki has been dating the school bully for the past few years well really since he came to the school and he's been becoming more and more distant, Bucky is worried for him but doesn't know what to do about it, maybe Bucky would see if he could he talk to the psychology teacher about him, maybe Mr Fury had spotted something or Loki could at least talk to him. Loki never talks to Bucky about his and Thanos' relationship, Loki seems to be scared of Thanos which worried bucky cause Loki was never really the quiet type. It was lunch time and Loki was sitting by Bucky talking about the kid Stephen Strange and also Tony, Loki thought he had a crush on both boys and didn't know what to do because he was in a relationship with Thanos if you could even call it a relationship When Thanos walked over. "Hey Bitch" Thanos yelled across the hall and Loki clearly shuddered with fear. Bucky tensed up ready to protect his friend from whatever was coming to him. "Loki you better not be hanging out with this loser come on, you're coming with me now" Thanos grabbed Loki by his hair and pulled him out of the cafeteria. Bucky sent a message to thor worried about his brother. This wasn't the first time Bucky had to message Thor for Loki but it was the first time he'd done it without Loki's knowledge on the matter, this was serious though bucky was worried for his friend because going out with the school bully wasn't exactly a safe relationship. Bucky knew that Thanos was an abusive asshole for a while now but sadly Loki was now at least the second person to fall victim to Thanos' trap, well the second that Bucky knew of. The first was Ultron a guy who came to this school two semesters ago and left one week before Loki appeared, Ultron moved because of the abuse and Bucky didn't want to lose Loki to Thanos. Thanos used the same method every time a new person appeared at the school. Step 1 is to slyly mention how shit that person is until they start to believe you. Step 2 is to make the person's friends hate them and Step 3 is to make it seem like you care for the person. That's Thanos' plan and sadly loki was just the latest in a long line of victims and Bucky needed to protect his best friend. Loki had been homeschooled until earlier this semester and therefore wasnt aware of how Thanos treated people. Bucky ran after Loki and Thanos but stayed far enough away to be undetected by the bitch that is Thanos. Soon he heard a yell coming down the hall. "What the hell do you think you're doing hanging out with that gay bitch Bucky?!" Thanos screamed in Loki's face. First of all rude and second of all Thanos has to be stopped. Then Bucky heard a whimper and saw Thanos turn the corner, so it was safe to go see his friend that was now sitting on the floor crying his eyes out. " Hey man you ok?" Bucky said quietly while walking slowly towards his friend so that he didn't freak out. "Yeah Buck I'm fine I guess, just need a few minutes to calm down I'll be fine, thanks for caring though" loki replied. Bucky decided to sit down with his friend and held him while he cried, Bucky didn't care if people saw right now because he was just showing his friend that he is there for him. Loki tried to pull away from the hug at first but soon melted into the hug while still crying. "Loki why don't you break up with him, he's clearly abusing you and now he's doing it in public, Loki please for your safety break up with the bastard" Bucky tried to plead with his friend. "Buck I can't he scares me to much, he told me himself that if I broke up with him he'd kill me" Loki burst into tears again. "Hey hey hey buddy its OK we'll sort something out ok you're not alone" Bucky told him. Then the bell rang signalling the end of lunch and the start of the boys last lesson of the day, Psychology with Mr Fury and luckily Mr Fury would probably allow the boys to leave early if necessary.
