you can’t go me and yelena are here thunderbolts stick together
[ 😤
as for his role, exactor is — tough. literally punishing, the same way as executioner is for yelena. (nevermind that it also makes him think of embry fucking moore, ugh.) ]
let me help i’ve been useless to yelena since i got here least i can do is help you
you’re not gonna boss me around and i’m not gonna do anything i don’t wanna do which i would have to, you know, if somebody else asks me to first cause i already got ordered to pair up by another guy so
[ clock’s ticking. bucky seems like a way better deal than anyone else because he actually cares. ]
pair up? who was it and what exactly were they trying to get you to do?
[Because if someone's tried to force Bob into something less than consensual, Bucky's going to be having Words with them. And he makes no promises that they'll both be coming out of that conversation in one piece.]
i think he was trying to help or getting way too into his cult job because i’m like double forsaken without a master or partner to these people who can’t even eat solo
another guy told me not to do this alone definitely trying to help but now that’s in my head
[ a request from someone above him, unfulfilled. a need, unmet. it makes his stomach twist. ]
[Sure, he might not be Bob's keeper, but the concern is still there regardless. So while the explanation may make sense, that doesn't mean he's going to stop worrying.]
if i told you not to listen to anyone else and to only do what you wanted to do do you think it'd work?
[A question, not a demand. Because he isn't going to make any kind of demands if it isn't one that Bob agrees with first.]
[Be like Yelena, that is. Take on the role of being Bob's master. That's a line he doesn't want to cross. Something far too close to being a handler for another human being.]
we need to find a way to be equals or this can't work i'd take being kicked out of here over hurting either of you
if we do this i need you to promise me one thing first if anyone tries making you do something you don't want, you tell me or yelena even if we're the ones doing it

with any luck maybe they'll boot me out soon
[Not that he really expects it to be that easy.]

i'd say they got it pretty right if they were aiming for irony

you say that name too many times and you're going to summon alexei
[Though he supposes that'd be a better choice than Walker. But still!!]
i don't want to order you around
or force you to do anything you shouldn't
you deserve better than that

and i’m not gonna do anything i don’t wanna do

if you were like yelena
[ one of his masters, orders ranking higher than the others. ]
you could definitely contradict something i get told by somebody else
but you don’t have to
i don’t want to be a burden on you to
i just really don’t want you to go
[ as one of the only familiar faces here. as someone undeniably good. trusted and safe. ]
no subject
i can't do that

i’m not asking you to
[ but they can’t lose bucky to the woods, not with all this talk of something coming. ]
i can mark you
maybe my tender thing will cancel out what it does to you
none of us can do this alone, right?
no subject
if we do this i need you to promise me one thing first
if anyone tries making you do something you don't want, you tell me or yelena
even if we're the ones doing it
if you can agree to that, you can mark me
no subject
but i will
promise
