%% BEHIND THAT MASK! #!/

characters : aged up!—Sanzu Haruchiyo

a/n : i cant believe im rewrtiting this sorry if this is half assed tumblr didn't save my draft earlier, enjoy ig

Sanzu Haruchiyo..... your masked bf sometimes you were wondering what behind that mask but ofc you wanted to respect his boundaries and dont want to make him uncomfortable, but curiousity start to eat you alive so you have a little plan in your mind

sometimes there's a lot of idea in your mind on why Sanzu didn't remove his mask, maybe he have big lips that unmatched with his face future? or maybe he have crooked teeth? or even worse he doesn't have mouth! but you scratched the last idea since how did he speak if he doesn't have mouth? his nose? yeah that idea once stuck in your head but you decided to remove it because it doesn't make sense at all

you called Sanzu to meet you up infront of a restaurant which he agreed since maybe you were hungry and he is too, you greet Sanzu before taking his hand and walk into the restaurant with him

"today is my treat" you said smiling he raise an eyebrow you were cheerful more than usual "did something good happen?" he ask you shook his head "nope i just wanted to spend time with my lovely boyfriend" you said he nodded start looking at the menu

"are you ready to order?" he ask after a few minutes you nodded letting him call the waiter, you both said your order as the writer write down your order, you noticed Sanzu's order was a heavy meal he probably going to remove his mask

you smile to yourself before mentally patting yourself for coming up with this idea as soon as your food arrived you stare at Sanzu causing him to raise an eyebrow "whats up my love?" he ask you shook your head "nothing eat up" he nod "you too" you nod

you stare as he was about to remove his mask until your phone start ringing you look at the caller ID noticing it was your boss you look at Sanzu "eat first i have to answer this call" you said he nod as he watch your figure walking out from the restaurant

you listen to your boss rant about how her husband keep cancelling their date and how she think he was cheating on her while you were wondering why the hell your boss telling you all of this as she finally hang up you walk into the restaurant only to be greeted by Sanzu scrolling through his phone you blink

"oh baby! what took you too long? oh and im sorry i finished my food first i haven't eat since yesterday" he said giving you closed eyes smile you nod sitting "did you forgot to eat again?" you ask he nod "im very busy yesterday and just go to sleep as soon as i got home" he said you nod

attempt 1 : failed

"want some?" you ask offering your food he shook his head "im full already" he said you nodded visibly deflated "whats up pretty girl? you were all cheerful a while ago" he said chuckling you shook your head from side to side finding a reason and decided to use your boss phone call as your reason "she did it again" you said he pat your head

"did she start ranting to you again? what was is about?" he ask you sigh "about her husband this and that you know the usual why don't they just divorce?" you said leaning to your chair

"maybe you should find a new job if you were that sick of your boss personal life rant" he said you nodded "yeah i should" you said

the second attempt might make him mad but what is life without a little thrill and spice right? right.

you took a deep breath before apologizing gripping the tray in your hand you walk inside the room smiling at Sanzu you walk toward him then purposely trip yourself

you watch everything happen in slow motion how the juice flew and wetting his mask you cheer silently before your face kiss the floor you groan but being muffled by your carpet Sanzu gasp ignoring his wet clothes and mask

"y/n?! are you okay? oh my why are you suddenly become clumsy?" he ask as he help you to get up you have to swallow your image its not even 6 month into your relationship here you are doing stupid things just to what behind his mask

he hiss when he saw your red forehead with a little bloody lips "we should get that lips treated" he suggest you nodded "let me put this away your hoodie was in my closet along with extra mask" you said silently before walking out from the room leaving a little space for you to peak in

you feel your cheeks heat up as you watch his half naked body you silently cheer as he was about to remove his mask when your doorbell rang causing you to curse silent

you keep debating either to look and discover what behind your boyfriend mask or to answer the door you were deep in thought when Sanzu clear his throat his cheeks tinted with rosy pink just like his hair

"i didn't know you're that type of person" he said clearing his throat again you look up before cursing yourself "oh no you got the wrong idea let me go and answer the door ok?" you said walking a little bit too faster "be careful!" Sanzu called as he look you who almost tripped twice

attempt 2 : failed

you look at Sanzu as you keep following—more like stalking—him you tried to make sure you didn't lost him maybe he would remove his mask at the most random time especially when he's alone? yeah thats what you think ,you were now dressed in all black outfit paired with black cap and black mask

yup much like a stalker

you watch him keep turning and leading you to a dark hallways wondering what he was doing here, little did you know he noticed you following him but didn't have any idea it was his girlfriend

"fuck" you curse silently as you lost him you were about to take another turn when someone pull you to opposite turn you yelped both in suprise and pain when your back make a harsh contact to the cold and dirty wall you hiss from how strong someone's grip on your hands is

"who are you and why are you following me?" he ask you stay silent too scared to answer him, Sanzu chuckle "why are you all silent? acting all scared are we?" he said you shiver under his sharp gaze

"i ask you questions" he said you shut your eyes he sigh annoyed and start to loose his patients then decided to remove both your mask and cap you felt his grip on your hands loosening

"y/n?" he said in softer voice than earlier you still shut your eyes tightly slightly trembling "darling look at me" he said as one of hand slither to your waist while the other cup your cheeks thumb caressing your cheeks "open your eyes my love im not going to hurt you" he said you open your eyes slowly meeting his soften gaze

"why are you following me like that? i thought you were one of those people who tried to get me again" he said chuckling you didn't answer instead hugging him burying your face into his chest

"did i scare you that much?" he ask you shook your head as a no, you were actually embarassed of yourself for doing dumb thing to get him to remove his mask

"then why?" he ask hugging you close to him "im sorry" you said he raise an eyebrow "why?" "im sorry for doing dumb thing lately and following you like earlier" you said he chuckled you look up to him

"i get it now" he said removing you from him gently then cup your cheeks with both of his hands "you know you can just ask right?" you pout "i just dont want to make you feel uncomfortable" he shook his head

"you will never im actually waiting for you to ask me by yourself" he said you nodded "then can i uh you know" he nod letting you remove his mask

heart beating loudly Sanzu was prepared from any insult from you yet nothing came our from your mouth, does he freak you out? he was about to apologize when you whispered out a very unexpected word he expects you to say

"beautiful" you said he froze not believing what he just heard "what?" he ask for confirmation "i said beautiful" you repeat before caressing his scars with both of your thumb he sigh in relief

"really? i thought you were going to freaked out" he said you shook your head with confused face while your attention was still on his face "why would i?" you ask

"people always told me its disgusting i thought you would too but apparently not im relieved" you heart broke a little from his words "who the hell said your scars is disgusting?! let me beat them up" you said with determination he shook his head "its okay you were an absolute angel i cant imagine you beating people up" he said pressing a kiss on your forehead

"you look hotter without mask" you whisper he smile "is that so?" he ask you nodded then cover his face with his mask "and only me can see you my beautiful and handsome and hot boyfriend without his mask no one can see your full face they would fall for you" you said he chuckled before ruffling your hair

"whatever you say angel" he said you smile as he lead you out from the hallway just so your know he would use your silly attempt to tease you in the future

attempt 3 : successfully failed

[phynali]

If given the chance, how would you rewrite the MCU?

Anon. Anon. Anon.

How wouldn’t I?

I mean - okay, there’s a lot you have to keep the same just for the sake of like, continuity, clarity, and keeping the bones there.

I’d probably keep all the original movies in Phase 1 as they are with only minor tweaks. I’d fix the mess that was Iron Man 2. I’d give Black Widow and Hawkeye a movie of their own to establish their characters. Hmm, I can see that coming after the first Avengers, possibly.

The first Avengers film though, that’s where I would make the first major changes. 

Loki’s characterization is a mess and not properly explained in canon. I’d put him more obviously under Thanos’s thumb. I’d fix Cap’s messed up characterization. I wouldn’t have Thor show up when he does because, hey - bifrost issues. We’d see him and Heimdall from Asgard trying to work on that problem and let them find a cogent way to get Thor to earth. So, he’d show up for the final battle and to take Loki home. He’d be the ace in the hole that helps allow the Avengers to assemble and overtake Loki.

Okay, so fix Iron Man 2. I can barely remember it but I know it needs fixing.

Cap 2 I’d leave intact. I might give Hulk a follow-up movie tbh, or rather, probably tie him in to the Black Widow and Hawkeye movie that would follow the first Avengers.

Also put more female heroes front and centre earlier on. And especially WoC. 

Big issues arise by the time we get to Age of Ultron. Fix that hot mess of a movie.

Hawkeye doesn’t have a family and a farm. That was weird. Erase that shit. Don’t set up a romance between Nat and Bruce. Don’t - 

Look, I mean no disrespect to Tony stans - 

Don’t make every problem in the MCU something that was inadvertently caused by Tony. Because like every Iron Man movie involves a villain who felt scorned by him, and then AoU was caused by him messing with the Mind Stone (Bruce too, okay, but Bruce isn’t the one with the narrative trend here) and all the villains in the Spider-Man movies, and then there’s how shit played out in Civil War and - 

Okay so fix AoU. Have the Mind Stone literally take on a life of it’s own and don’t fucking make it the fault of Tony’s hubris, okay. Make it more accidental and incidental than it was. Don’t make it something that happened overnight from tinkering. 

And for the love of god, make it so that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver did not sign up to be experimented on, but rather keep their comic origins. They’re Jewish Romani PoC. Give them a narrative that’s authentic to those identities.

I also would not fucking kill off Quicksilver, what the honest fuck?

Actually also don’t just make up a random country and code it a given way and then destroy it. I know it’s an MCU movie and therefore actually needs a giant CGI battle at the end, but okay - Age of Ultron. Stretch that shit out. Make it more clever. Show some more subtle and almost… guerilla tactics from the Avengers, taking down Ultron’s armies? Instead of a single battle in a country we don’t know about and haven’t been told to care about from a narrative standpoint, have Ultron go after their friends and families, have them fight smart and mean but no less visually pleasing to watch. The Avengers don’t have the numbers on Ultron’s army, but they can (and do) recruit Wanda and Maximo and they fight their fight using all their resources - not just their fists.

Okay so let’s move on.

iron Man 3 was great, but the whole bit with Pepper being kidnapped? Not that into it, personally. Also not into her getting powers and then getting them taken away. There was a lot to love about that movie, but so many Iron Man movies tease at this idea of Tony wanting to retire, or getting out, and they need to just back off that and let him own his heroism. That movie navigates so much so well so let it be.

Okay - 

Thor 2? Don’t fucking kill Thor’s mom. Friga deserves better. Stop motivating male characters by killing women. Let Loki and Thor come together by Friga being injured, by their dad dying, by a desire to bring their mother joy - whatever. Just - don’t kill her. I’m still pissed about how much they take from Thor over time.

I’d keep Cap 2 the same, and the only changes I’d make to GotG would be - 

Okay wait actually. There are huge glaring issues with that movie. Gamora is poised to be the hero of these movies and finds herself as the damsel in distress or incapable whenever the narrative needs her to be. I fucking hate it. Let her shine more. Show instead of tell. Let each character develop in their own right rather than dropping some random backstory notes in expository dialogue. Build up to the notion that it’s super weird Quill can hold the Stone and actually like… acknowledge it in the movie. You can keep the story basically the same but fix things with Gamora’s narrative, please please please.

Okay Ant-Man is great. There’s a huge narrative issue within the entire MCU with how they exclude Janet Van-Dyne though, and how she isn’t introduced until now even though she should be a fundamental member of the Avengers. I would almost like, at some point in Phase 1-3, a movie with Janet at the helm, possibly (to keep their timeline intact), her working with Peggy, working with SHIELD, with a young Fury or something, and laying the groundwork for the Avengers. A lot of what Captain Marvel eventually did, but situated fully on earth, and coming much sooner in the MCU itself.

Civil War was a hot mess. They needed to actually explain and detail both sides and the problems with them. It functioned amazing as an introduction to Black Panther and I love it for that, but it wasn’t a Cap movie, not really, and I’m bitter about it. This movie should have focused around the Black Panther, Cap, Bucky narrative, and dropped the whole Civil War with the other Avengers stuff entirely. 

Actually - Civil War needs to be either an entirely separate movie on its own or else… drop it. Deal with it differently. That airport fight was an embarrassment. Let the Avengers break down during Cap 3 if you need do, but make it more interpersonal and tense, and less throwing punches and locking each other up. Make it more human, more relatable, because those were the best parts of that whole divide. Make it real for the viewer, for fuck’s sake. Don’t have Tony (seriously what’s with them making him do villainous things and painting them as heroic) blackmail a literal child into a battlezone???? 

Okay - and Cap issues, they need to either set up Agent 13 aka Sharon Carter as a proper love interest sooner, or else drop that. They drop breadcrumbs of her in a few movies but that’s it. It feels hollow between them by the time they actually kiss. They should either keep their dynamic as “could have been but whoops, nope” or have done more to set them up together in Cap 2. 

(Totally honest, total bias here - take out love interests altogether or let Cap be the bi icon that he should be and let him and Falcon hook up in Cap 2. Let the fact that he was in love with Bucky be canon but you don’t need to set them up as a couple. Let it be recognized that they love each other but god there’s too much there, too much mess, they don’t need to be together in the present to acknowledge that history. Either way keep the Bucky and Sam dynamic because it’s amazing).

Doctor Strange - fix the casting. The racism, appropriation - just - wow. Use this as an opportunity to introduce more Asian and East Asian characters and actors into the MCU rather than it being the appropriative mess that it is. Keep the cool visuals though, and the cape. The narrative itself isn’t bad, but spend less time establishing this asshole character and more time establishing the side characters and the dynamics between them because those are far more interesting.

GotG 2 - uhhhh… okay what was this? Peter Quill is Ego’s son, but how does that really advance anything in the MCU or about the character or … ? Just fix the whole goddamn plot, I don’t even know. Tie this shit into Thanos way better. Introduce that better. Make this movie more interesting, make Nebula the Big Bad of it, honestly. Dive into the other members of the Guardians and give them their backstories and plots that they deserve. Is this the Guardians or the Peter Quill show? I don’t know I just - just fix this, okay?

Thor Ragnarok and Black Panther need no fixing. Remember that in this version of the MCU, Thor’s mom is alive, so that’s there. She’s still on Asgard and with Heimdall and being awesome, and we get some awesome interactions between her and Hel because we fucking deserve that, okay? Also Valkyrie’s bi scenes aren’t deleted (fuck you, Marvel execs). I would love love love for Killmonger not to die at the end of Black Panther, personally, but I wouldn’t change much more than that.

Oh wait I forgot - with the whole Bucky in Wakanda thing? Fucking take that out or do something narratively with it. It’s the weirdest brushed-aside thing that serves no genuine narrative purpose. I’d err on the side of taking it out entirely, personally. 

Infinity War is fine, leave it as-is more or less, except for - 

Okay, so we need textual discussion and canonical pushback against Thanos’s ideals. Because so many people came out of that movie all “oh but he’s got a point - population is expanding blah blah blah” and it was such fucking bullshit. We needed Gamora to point out why Thanos was fucking wrong - why her people were not actually better off after he killed half of them, thank you very much. We needed Tony to point out “population doesn’t work that way, it’ll bounce back in 50 years - do you plan to keep doing this each time? why not double resources?”. We needed people to tell the audience not just that Thanos was bad, but why he was bad, and that there is no ‘random’ and he needed to be a monster and selfish and it needed to be way more clear that his was not a sublime ideal of a detached idol, but rather the ravings of an entitled man whose gone unhinged and hateful.

Okay. So that. And don’t make the final battle just decimate Wakandan soil and its army? Why do they have to fight Earth’s battles for it? Let that be a joint effort and not just a Wakandan one, jfc. I get that you had the set ready and all, but no, don’t treat Wakanda like that, it deserves better. If ever there was a time to blow the budget on a final fight, this would be it, so freaking do it and have that battle be in space and over earth and at many different locations but then zeroing in on where Vision is (which itself can be in Wakanda because it’s safest but yeah).

And honestly I wouldn’t make it so Gamora died, like wtf. I hated that. I hated the whole bit with the Soul Stone. I could swallow it if what they did was have Gamora turn into the Soul Stone - so that she could, as the stone, set up a sabotage to Thanos.

Okay - more on that. Let’s talk about Endgame. Endgame needs so much goddamn fixing. Holy fuck does it need fixing.

Okay - okay where do I even start. I make myself mad whenever I think about it. 

Five years? Five fucking years? What the fuck is wrong with you, Russo brothers? Time travel? What - just - 

I hated that movie with a passion.

Okay - so the Snap happened. Pick up right after. Give us the fucking shock and horror. Give us the attempt to regroup, just quick, the intense emotions - people punching walls. Show us snippets of the world quickly, news casts etc. This is a horror, let it be one. Own the shit that you did.

Give us a time skip-montage. A month out, the pressure is on to the Avengers to fix this. The Avengers are all traumatized. Clint doesn’t have a family in this version, and doesn’t go all terminator. Thor - he wouldn’t have as much time to spiral but let him get there, let him be unwell, unkempt, let him own his suffering because goddamn he’s lost so much. (oh I forgot, I actually wouldn’t kill Loki and Heimdall because wtf wtf I hate you Infinity War, but let’s move on - )

Five months - people are losing hope. There are therapy sessions. Cap is a mess. Everyone blames themselves. Tony “if I’d only made the call to Cap sooner, we could have worked together” (also he and Nebula make it to earth fast, none of that lost in space and starving stuff), Cap “if only I hadn’t been so arrogant as to not trade lives”, Thor “if only I’d gone for the head”, etc etc. let it be clear that it’s not just Thor’s fault and not just Peter Quill’s fault - that all of those in charge of decision making fucked up.

Ant-Man isn’t freaking saved by a rat, thank you. He comes out of the quantum realm on his own merits, some safeguard, only to realize shit’s messed up. He and Janet work together with the remaining Avengers. maybe Janet saved him from the quantum realm this time? what a nice parallel to him saving her. anyway, they use the quantum realm to find thanos. Or - fuck that, they use Nebula to find Thanos. She knows shit. What they use the quantum realm for is to realize that all the souls that were lost in the snap aren’t ‘dead’ dead, they’re in stasis. They’re in a liminal space - they’re in the Soul Stone. Because Gamora is the stone and she sucked up all those lives and is holding them, holding for dear life but she can’t hold on forever (make sure the stakes are high, they feel real, the clock is ticking). Captain Marvel teams up with them of course. they track down thanos.

“but Phyn” you say, “thanos still has all the stones? how can they defeat him?” great question! difficult to answer! i’m not sure! with the power of love! 

okay but really - they have an awesome team. they need to work smarter than the enemy, not harder. they can take out thanos’s generals. they can use nebula to slip past defenses. if loki were alive, which he should be, they can use his magic. if friga were alive, which she should be, they can use hers. if heimdall were alive, which he should be, they can use his eyes. they can use the magic of all the magicians in the doctor strange films. they have captain marvel.

but they will never win on might alone, or magic alone - not against a full complement of infinity stones. not unless - 

have you seen Avatar: The Last Airbender? if so - you know how Azula gets a little unhinged toward the end? she’s just a kid, i feel for her, but the point for here is that she does enough shit and gets what she (thinks she) wants and it takes a devastating toll on her. using the stones, clearing half the life in the universe - that took a toll on thanos. it was a terrible choice. he’s in denial, in self-deception about that. he’s coming apart at the seams. he’s not all chill about it, he’s spiralling hard. he lost half his army too, after all. and life doesn’t seem improved. he can hear the cries of the souls locked in the soul stone (not that he realizes what he’s hearing nor acknowledges it) and it’s like the beating heart under the floorboards. his crimes have left scars. he’s not well. physically, from the toll of the Snap, nor mentally, from everything else it took out of him.

let gamora save the fucking day. let her and Vision and their stones - hell, let Loki (maybe he’s fused with the tesseract and maybe thanos did kill him to acheive that, or maybe something else) - let the stones respond to people. to quill. to freaking Jane Goddamn Foster. let the stones’ connections to life undermine and corrupt thanos and his connection to death.

is it cheesy? maybe. is it better than time travel bullshit? definitely. because it uplifts. because it draws from heroes in all the movies, even unlikely ones. people who’ve touched the stones, held them, melded with them. it assumes that the stones aren’t static entities, that they are just as alive as us, in a way we can’t comprehend, and so much more. they resonate with the universe, and thanos has done something that scarred the universe. let this be rectified, not through the actions of a man’s sacrifice, but through the actions, big and small, of a ton of people, of unlikely heroes, of those who suffered personally at his hand, at the hands of the stones - let it be the will of half the goddamn universe to see thanos fall.

let the snap-back happen when thanos loses control over the stones (he’s been holding on tight this whole time, can’t let it slip, the stones have a ‘mind’ of their onw). let it happen again right before the final battle against his armies. let him not have the power to immediately re-snap, hand burnt by the force of the snap-back, and let thor take off his fucking arm this time. let nebula take off his fucking head. let there be a huge final battle with everyone alive and ready to go down swinging once again.

and okay, i’m okay with tony dying. i’d be game for him to die by destroying the stones, tbh - taking them out of existence henceforth so they can never be used like this again, even though it kills him. i think that would honestly be a really fulfilling conclusion to the narrative set up in the first Iron Man film - the reformed arms dealer destroying the ultimate weapons in the universe.

by this way - there’s been 5-8 months or something like that, not 5 years, but why not have Pepper be pregnant, why not have a little child who’ll get to live on after he’s gone, even if that kid won’t remember him? she’ll get to live in a universe that exists and is safe because of him.

i’d be okay with cap dying in this movie too (much better than him going back and stealing peggy’s life from her by changing her history, wtf wtf wtf). i refuse to accept nat dying in clint’s place, that was bullshit and totally not necessary in this version. gamora is also back, not from the past but from the present, and with her sister again. this time nebula got to save gamora, isn’t there some poetic justice in that?

okay okay that’s all that. whew.

I forgot about Captain Marvel. It was decent, I liked it. It wasn’t my favorite in the sense that it was laid out odd when it came to falling in love with this character. Like I wouldn’t change much of the plot but I’d change the… storytelling? The emotions used to connect us to Carol. Give us more of her past from the start, before you introduce her. Give us her childhood. And let Maria be her girlfriend, fucking please.

Okay - now we’re at Far From Home. I didn’t mention Homecoming before but the problem with both of these movies is one I mentioned earlier - that the villains are byproducts of choices made by Tony Stark. That’s a problem. There’s just so many goddamn movies in which that’s the ultimate villain and it fucks with Tony’s characterization so much. How am I supposed to love Tony (which I want to?) when he’s got satellites with drones that can attack anyone he names, tech not that unlike the tech Hydra was aiming to make. Sure, he won’t use it the same, but why the fuck does he have it? Giving it to Peter is all well and good, but - they have interacted maybe a grand total of 5 times? 

The relationship between Peter and Tony is cute but if you stop for a second, it’s annoying as hell that it’s built up to what it is. Peter gets recruited by Tony, mostly works with Happy and not Tony in Civil War, and then gets ignored by Tony for months and months on end, then Tony shows up and scolds him and takes his suit, and then invites him to be an Avenger when he doesn’t fuck up, and then they go off to space and Peter dies, and then everyone comes back to life and Tony dies. Why the fuck would Tony entrust Peter with this Edith system that allows him to kill anyone on Earth? Actually, fuck that, entrust is the wrong word - why the fuck would Tony put that weight on the shoulders of a child?

Far From Home is great but Tony’s post-mortem role in it makes almost no sense. Let Peter’s movies be about Peter and not about the shadow and then the ghost of Tony Stark. Please. I love Tony, I do, but if you stop and think for one second, you have to jump mental hoops to absolve the shit Tony does in Peter’s movies, and for many of us, it leaves a really awful taste in our mouths.

anyway - i probably missed stuff. that’s just what’s currently top of mind. #whoops

Chapter 13; Christmas in Wakanda

Here we go guys as a special Christmas treat I made a Christmas chapter for my Bad Wolf series. Hope u all have a Happy Holidays and may the New Year bring you all peace and happiness and thank u all for being so kind to me ever since I joined Tumblr. Have a Happy Holidays everyone :)

_________________________________________________________

It was that time of year again, well at least it was in America.  It was Christmas time again.  But unlike last year, this year my family is torn apart, kept away from each other and fallen apart.  I wonder what Wanda and Steve were doing right now? As well as the rest of Team Cap. Sam, Clint even Scott.

I was sitting in my room cutting up some paper snowflakes and painting a Christmas tree to decorate my room a little bit in light of the Christmas season.  I used tape and thumbtacks to stick the decorations all over my room and placed the painting of the Christmas tree in the corner of my room when I heard a knock at the door.

“Come in”. The door soon opened to reveal my mother Morowa.  “Hey mom”.

“So this is what you’ve been doing all morning?” We both laughed then she said “Well this room is all festive and bright”.

“Yeah just thought that even though I’m no longer in America, I’d bring a little thing from home for me while I’m here, plus I didn’t want to intrude on your traditional Kwanzaa holiday preparations”. 

“Aww (y/n) you know we’d gladly accept you into our Kwanzaa festivities, I’ll teach you everything you need to know about Kwanzaa”.

“If you’re sure about it?”

“I am. Plus if anyone else gives you a hard time I’ll give them hell for not allowing my daughter to be a part of a family tradition”.  She stroked my head softly.  I then took notice of a package she carried behind her back.

“What’s that?”

“Oh I almost forgot, this arrived for you this morning”.  She handed me the box and when I looked at it, it was addressed to me but there was no return address.  All it said was one word.

CLASSIFIED. 

I shook it gently and could hear something shaking inside of it.  As precaution, I sniffed it and my wolf senses didn’t pick up any trace of gun residue so I knew it couldn’t have been a bomb.  So I decided to open it and inside of it was a DVD disk inside of a CD case.  Morowa looked at me and she said.

“I’ll leave you alone for a bit”. She kissed my temple then left the room without another word shutting the door behind her.

I walked up to my DVD player and opened it up and put the disk in, closed it up then turned the TV on and put it on HTMI 2. I watched as the disk was being read on the player and soon it began to play.

Coming to view was a person I have not seen in over 6 months, my sister Wanda.  I gasped and covered my hand with my mouth as tears filled my eyes.

“Hi (y/n). How are you doing? Are you safe? Of course you must be safe, Steve told me you were in the greatest of hands but you know me. Old Mama Bear always worrying” she laughed which made me laugh too as her voice continued, “As you can see from the background I’m no longer in the Raft prison, but unfortunately I can’t tell you where I am now, just know that I am safe and that I’m doing okay. I wanted to make you this video just so you could hear my voice again and to let you know that it’s okay. I understand your feelings for Bucky, you and he are more alike than you, me and Pietro were. There’s no bitterness, I just wanted what was best for you and I hope you understand that”.

“I do Mama Bear, I do”. I choked out as I wiped the tears away and smiled happily.

“Also I wanted to tell you that even though we are worlds apart, I still love you and that I am always thinking and dreaming of you, my sestra. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and know that I am always with you in your heart, until we meet again”.  She then pressed her hand to her lips kissing it before reaching out to touch the screen.

I held out my hand and placed it over hers and the two of us stared at each other with tears in our eyes as Wanda said a final farewell before the screen turned black.

I sniffled and wiped away my tears as I took out the DVD and put it back in its case before holding it close to my heart as more tears kept spilling out.  I had a feeling that Steve must’ve been behind it and I couldn’t thank him enough for allowing me to see my sister after so long.

“Thank you Mama Bear, I love you too”.  I then placed the DVD in a special drawer in my dresser.  The one place I knew where to find it and the one place I knew it would be kept safe.   

Once it was put away, I took a few deep breaths and wiped my tears away with some tissues, I was finally calm and went back to finish decorating my room. 

When my room was finally finished, I smiled and then left to go to the lab where I pulled out my secret project.  As I was screwing in some parts, I then heard Bucky’s voice call out for me.

“Shit” I muttered as I quickly put the project under a box and pulled out my blueprints of a new armor set that I’ve been working on.

“There you are I’ve been calling you for the past five minutes”. Bucky’s voice said as he got closer.

“Sorry Bucky-bear I guess I was just lost in my work here”. I then felt him come over me looking down at the blueprints and he said. 

“What’s this?”

“Well if I’m gonna protect you and the rest of Wakanda then I need to protect myself better, make me more menacing while I’m in my wolf form but also adjust whenever I need to be human. These are just the blueprints I’ve been working on with Shuri”.  Bucky looked at the blueprints to see wolf armor that could fit over my wolf form then a scale drawing of me with the armor on in human form that was slightly different to the wolf armor.

“This looks fucking awesome”.

“Really?”

“Yeah, look at my little Wolfie becoming a strong little warrior” Bucky cooed as he brought me close to him and playfully noogied my head.

“Gah! Bucky-bear stop!” I then freed myself from him as the two of us laughed.

“You two better not be roughhousing in my lab” Shuri’s voice stated firmly.

“Sorry Shuri” we both stated.

“So, you’re working on the armor without me Raksha?”

“I only wanted to see the blueprints again to make sure I want it exactly as I envisioned it you know I’d never start fully working on it without you. Plus you’re the only person who knows how to work with Vibranium”.

“Damn right I am now that I’ve got some free time, why don’t we get to work on it?”

“Sounds good with me, so Bucky if you don’t mind….”

“I know when I’m not needed, I’ll just be out in the training grounds maybe challenge Morowa to a rematch”.

“Please Bucky-bear she easily kicks your ass every single time”. I mocked him.

“Way to hurt my pride Wolfie” we both smiled at each other then he brought me into a one-armed hug before kissing the top of my head before finally leaving the lab.  As soon as he was gone, I took a groan of relief and said.

“Finally I thought he’d never leave”. I put the blueprints away and took the box off my secret project and grabbed the screwdrivers and the magnifying glass.

“So this is what you were working on?” Stated Shuri.

“Yeah it’s something for Bucky, since he hasn’t had a Christmas in over 70 years, and since we’re the only two Americans here I thought…..I’d give him something special for his first Christmas in over 70 years. To let him know how much I care for him”.

“I see, but you’ll still be joining us for Kwanzaa right?”

“Yeah Morowa invited me and she said and this is her words ‘that I’ll give them hell for not allowing my daughter to be a part of a family tradition’” Shuri and I laughed softly then she said.

“So what is it exactly?”

“Well I’m almost done with it, let me just tweak some wires and circuits here then I’ll test it out for you”. She nodded then watched me in complete silence as I continued to finish my secret project. 

After about an hour later, I stated.

“There done, now let’s see if I did this right”. I then pressed a button and soon the top portion opened revealing a wolf with a full moon coming out and soon the wolf began running as the instrumental version of “Once Upon a December”.  I smiled and raised my hands up in the air in success.  “It’s alive!”

“A music box?”

“Yeah just a little thing for Bucky. I used to make musical instruments like flutes and drums back when I was a kid in my village so I just youtubed on how to make a music box. Took me three tries to get it right but I finally managed to get the circuits and wiring right with this one after asking Morowa for some advice”.

“I must admit this is beautiful and you handcrafted the entire thing?”

“Yep the entire thing handcrafted and decorated”.“When will you give it to him?”

“I’m thinking either Christmas Eve or Christmas day I haven’t really chosen a date yet”.

“I’m sure you will, now then why don’t we really get to work on your suit?” I nodded then Shuri and I took out the blueprints and we began brainstorming on how to start the suit. 

*Time skip to Christmas Eve*

Finally the big day came, I was currently wrapping Bucky’s Christmas gift up and after it was nice and wrapped up, I wrote a little note for him to read once I gave it to him.  I took a sigh and said to myself.

“Oh I hope he likes it”.  I then decided that before giving him the gift, I should go and find him because I already had the day planned ahead of us, hopefully he’ll join in.  I soon found him at the gym going at a punching bag pretty hard.  “Ohh man thank god I chose the right side. I would not wanna tangle with you Bucky-bear”.  He smiled and turned towards me and said.

“Well I know I wouldn’t have to beat you with hard punches or swift kicks”.

“Oh really?” I teased to him.

“Really all I would need to do is get close enough to give you a belly rub!” He then captured me in his arms and proceeded to attack me with tickles.  I squirmed and tried to free myself as I laughed.

“No fair…..Bucky-bear!”

“Just admit it Wolfie you love this” he dragged out the love on it talking to me like I was a dog who loved belly scratches.

“In yohohohour dreams flyboy!” He then stopped but kept me in his arms allowing me to catch my breath.  “Steve was right, you are a jerk”.

“And you’re adorable my little Wolfie” he nuzzled into my neck then kissed my cheek.  “So what are you doing down here interrupting my workout session?”

“Well I came to ask you if you knew what today was”. I got out of his arms and he looked at me confused.

“Isn’t it Monday?”

“Well yes but the actual date”.  He remained silent for a moment before replying.

“I give up what is today Wolfie?” I then pulled out my miniature calendar pad and showed him that today was December 24th. “Are….are you serious?”

“Yeah. Listen Buck, I know you haven’t had a Christmas in over 70 years ever since…..well you know. And I totally understand if you don’t want to celebrate it but I was kinda hoping that since I’ve got no one to really share the holiday with, if you’ll join me for some Christmas festivities”.  He was silent for a moment before he said.

“I used to always love Christmas, it….it was my favorite time of the year. But when the war came it—I didn’t really think much of it. I don’t know if I remember any of the old traditions I used to do with my ma and Becky”. 

“I can reteach you, plus I can teach you what my parents and I did with our tribe. Again it’s up to you if you want to do it, I won’t force you because you’re in control here. My feelings won’t be hurt if you don’t want to do this”.  Bucky placed his hand on my shoulder and he said.

“I don’t want you to be alone on Christmas, that’s the one thing I remember that my ma drilled into me. No one should be alone on Christmas. Of course I’ll join you, but you’ll have to catch me up on what you do on Christmas these days”.

“I got some ideas come on old timer” I laughed at my last statement before shrieking as Bucky proceeded to chase me around the gym.

We were currently in the kitchen making some Christmas cookies well at least trying to at least.  Having a former Hydra assassin and a wolf baking Christmas cookies will not go down without the two of them being covered in flour and cookie dough from fighting over who got to lick the spoon first. 

Once they were done, Bucky took the Christmas tree one and I took the reindeer one and we touched them together in cheers like you would cling glasses together at a fancy dinner party before each taking a bite of our cookies and moaning in pleasure.

“We did good there kid”.

“Yeah we did gramps”. Bucky then bopped my nose with flour making me gasp and him laugh.  I then took a handful of flour and flicked it in his face making him stop and me laugh and soon after that we proceeded to have ourselves a FW2 (Flour War 2).

 After cleaning the kitchen up so that T’Challa and the kitchen staff wouldn’t get mad with us, we were up in my room and as Bucky sat down on my bed while I turned down the temperature to get into the Christmas weather mood.

“You painted and decorated all of this yourself Wolfie?”

“Yeah just because I didn’t want to bother the others with their Kwanzaa tradition preparation by invading their traditions with mine”.

“You’re so cute (y/n) always thinking of others before yourself. But not that I don’t like the tree cause it’s beautifully painted, it just—doesn’t feel right”.

“Well they don’t really sell Christmas trees in Africa Bucky”.

“We’ll see about that, come with me”.  He then took my wrist and the two of us left outside and ventured into the jungle.

Eventually we found ourselves a decent sized tree that even though it wasn’t a full on Christmas tree, it felt like Christmas to us. Bucky then using his super soldier strength, pulled the tree right out of its roots and we both carried it back to my room.

When we got back, Bucky and I proceeded to decorate the tree with some of the decorations that I had up around my room. After folding and decorating a beautiful star, Bucky lifted me up onto his shoulders and I put the star on top of the tree.  After putting me down, he pulled me to his side and said.

“Now that’s a Christmas tree”.

“Yeah, thanks for doing this with me Bucky-bear”.

“Anytime Wolfie”.  He kissed my forehead and held me close to him as we stared at our beautiful tree.

As the sun was starting to set, I had Christmas music playing over my stereo and I secretly played with the box that was hiding under my bed that held Bucky’s present.

“I gotta say, this has been the best Christmas I’ve ever had in years”.

“Really?” I asked.

“Yeah, the one time I’ve actually almost felt like the old Bucky. Thank you (y/n)”.  I smiled then I decided to just go for it.  I took the present out and held it out to him.  “What’s this?”

“Well it’s…..it’s a present for you”.

“Aww Wolfie but I didn’t get you anything heck I forgot that it was Christmas”.

“I don’t need anything, all I care and need is your happiness”.  Bucky smiled at me and took his present out of my hands and first shook it but didn’t hear much rattling in it so he proceeded to open it.  Once the wrapping paper was torn off, he opened the box to reveal my music box as well as the letter I had put inside it.

He looked at me in shock as he took the music box out as well as the letter and I told him.

“Read the letter first”.

“‘To my big brother Bucky-bear. May all your dreams and happiness come to you each and every day. And may your new life be filled with music. And know that I will always be there for you till the end of the line. Forever your sister (y/n) aka Wolfie’”.

“Open the box”.  Bucky then took the music box in his hand and slowly opened it and it soon revealed the full moon, the running wolf and it began to play the song.

“Oh my……”

“It took my three tries to finally get the mechanics together but the entire thing was handmade as well as the carvings. I wanted to get you something special for your first Christmas in a long time”.

“You—made this?”

“Yeah, again not an expert with mechanics but I did use to make flutes and drums back at my tribe so I kinda just used that to kinda help me with this, along with Morowa teaching me how to do the wiring. Do—do you like it?”

“Like it? (Y/n) I love it. This is the most precious gift anyone has ever given me, thank you”. He immediately took me in his arms and I could hear him beginning to cry.

I held onto him tightly as I rubbed his back and stroked my hand through his soft hair.

“I’m glad you liked it Bucky. I thought you would hate it”.

“Hate it? (Y/n) there are many things I think about your gift but hate is not one of them. You gave me something very special and I will treasure it and your love forever”. He said as he looked down at me and cupped my cheek in his hand. “Merry Christmas my Wolfie”.

“Merry Christmas my Bucky-bear”.  He kissed my forehead and for the rest of the night, we spent Christmas Eve snuggled up together under the Christmas tree.

Bucky bear held me close to his chest with his metal arm wrapped around me protectively and laying underneath his normal human hand was his music box.

*3rd Person POV*

(Y/n)’s door slowly opened to reveal Morowa coming in to check in on her adoptive daughter and her brother and when she saw the two of them cuddled together by the tree like two kids waiting for Santa to come, she couldn’t help but feel a flutter in her chest.

She silently walked up towards them and took the blanket from the bed and covered them both up with it.  She then stroked (y/n)’s head motherly and leaned in and kissed her temple before whispering.

“Merry Christmas my little one”. She then turned to her bag and pulled out two perfectly wrapped Christmas presents and placed them under the tree and silently walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.
