my parents are arguing about nothing again ogh
i think my dad is going to be late to my brothers doctors appointment
can they atleast argue in the bathroom or something im getting tired of hearing them 😔😔😔
Literally any two people will be arguing and I WILL dramatically go “The girls are figtinggg” to immediately make myself the common enemy. It works so well. No more argument, only disgust for the little guy in the corner who just said those words.
Finding friends who are really your family is really just about finding people you can argue with and listen to them arguing with each other forever and find it oddly enjoyable and comforting, pass it on.
(Inspired by^)
Their arguing grew louder, more aggressive. Neither meant to escalate it, but Bucky was stressed and upset, and Sam was frustrated with it all. Their situation got increasingly more complicated the more time went on, and that showed no signs of stopping now Zemo was involved.
Sarah-Grace watched them with big eyes, huddled in a thick coat that had been draped over her by said Sokovian fugitive. The material kept her lovely and warm, almost to the point of lulling the girl to sleep. But she hated noise, especially shouting. Usually, her uncle Bucky spoke softly, avoiding making too much noise for her benefit. Same with Sam.
Hearing it now, Sarah curled into the warmth of the coat, trying to block it all out. She knew they didn't mean to scare her, but it was just too much.
Accidentially, she caught Zemo's eyes, then shyed away from them. He scared her a little, despite being nothing but kind to her so far.
"Guys!" He hissed, stepping towards them.
"What?!" Sam and Bucky snapped simultaneously, glaring daggers at him.
"You're scaring Sarah," Zemo said icily.
Their faces immediately softened, and they exchanged regretful glances. Bucky frowned, quickly moving over to kneel in front of her.
"We're sorry, Gracie," he said, voice returned to its soft hum, "I got too wound up. Are you okay?"
She raised her head, whimpering a little. Bucky's heart clenched, deadly afraid to see her scared of him. The idea had plagued him since the moment he realised what Steve did - once the anger dried up enough for other emotions to come through.
With her curly blonde hair and shining blue eyes, lightly flecked with green, she resembled Steve so much it sometimes hurt. Bucky believed she deserved better than him as a parent, but couldn't bring himself to give her up. If he was honest, this female reincarnation of his best friend gave Bucky the will to wake up every day.
She smiled meekly, reaching out to wrap her fingers around his metal hand. "It's okay. Promise you won't argue anymore?"
Sam nodded, crouching down beside them. "Promise. Sorry, sweetie."
She stood from the coat to hug them, her short arms only able to wrap around their necks. They leaned in to hold her, both making mental notes to keep their disagreements more civil from then on.
Over their shoulders, Sarah saw Zemo watching, and smiled at him. He returned it, misty eyed, still turning over the turkish delight in his hand.
