You Spoil Me
Bucky liked to do nice things for Tony. Believe it or not, thought Bucky was a demon - a high-ranking one at that - he was capable of doing sweet, sappy, nice things for his boyfriend. So, he dragged the virgin sacrifice - one that he’d been given by a group of human teens who summoned him - down to his hellish domain and drained the body of its blood. The deep crimson, metallic scented liquid gushed and flowed out of the lifeless body and into prettily decorated jars. With a dopey smile, Bucky wrote notes with with post-it notes and a marker. His personal favorite was on the biggest of the jars, reading ‘You’re bloody cute’.
Tony was at the college just outside the city. He was incredibly smart and helped the professors with technology and mechanics, as well as magic and other dark arts and rituals. With Tony gone, Bucky had time to present the jars in a reasonable manner before he was summoned again. He cursed the Halloween season and how teenagers, especially humans, delighted in handling dark magic they had no business dabbling in. His only solace was that he could terrorize them for a while and weed out any potential future summonings next year.
The door to Tony’s apartment opened and Bucky looked to see the vampire enter.
“Hey, honey. What are you doing here? I thought those kids summoned you.”, Tony smiled and went to hug Bucky.
“I scared them and was outta there in two seconds.”, Bucky shrugged, placing a kiss on the top of Tony’s head.
“What’s that- Is that virgin’s blood?”, Tony sniffed the air.
“Yeah, baby. Fresh squeezed and everything.”, Bucky beamed.
“Aw, you spoil me, Bucky.”, Tony kissed Bucky.
“I figured, since I’m in and out all the time, and you don’t like to feed from other people, I’d give you something to tide you over until the season ends. And because you’re cute.”
Then, Bucky felt the tingly sensation of someone beckoning him away. He groaned, let Tony go, and was gone in an instant. Tony sighed, but went to the cabinet and got a reusable straw to drink the blood from the jars. He had work to do anyway, so he could do with a bit of alone time for a while.
Two hours later, Bucky was back. In his demon form, he nearly scared Tony when he burst into the apartment holding a dead lamb, dripping blood onto the floor. He seemed furious for some reason, his teeth bared and his wings splayed out.
“The next time someone gives me a sorry ass sacrifice like this, I’m ripping their throat out. One skinny lamb? I need more than that to make your bully burst into flames in the middle of the cafeteria, Becky.”, Bucky spat, lamb still in hand.
“Know your worth, honey.”, Tony adjusted his glasses and wrote a few more notes from an ancient spell book.
“Can’t even eat the damn thing, it’s so small.”
“Did you do it?”, Tony asked.
“Do what?”
“Make Becky’s bully burst into flames in the cafeteria.”, Tony looked up and tilted his head in curiosity.
“Of course I did. She was adorable and the picture she had of the kid- He’s a lot bigger than she is.”, Bucky huffed, dropping the carcass onto the kitchen table.
“Ooey, gooey human emotions still swirling around in there, huh?”, Tony poked at Bucky’s chest as he went to clean up the lamb’s blood, licking his fingers as he did so. Fresh lamb’s blood was hard to find outside of killing the animal himself and it was a treat he rarely had. Almost as often a virgin’s blood.
“Yeah, whatever. Before I got turned, I had this friend, y’know, and he got beat up a lot. I always had to cover his ass before he got knocked down and couldn’t get back up.”, Bucky’s form shifted into his human one and he sat at the table beside where Tony had been working.
“I remember you told me about him a few times.”, Tony replied, cleaning the lamb and preparing it for storage in the freezer. There was plenty of meat on it, for him anyway. Bucky needed the whole flock of sheep to be satisfied.
“And I know you said you were bullied when you were a kid, before you turned. I guess I just don’t like people picking on those than can’t defend themselves.”, Bucky crossed his arms and grunted angrily.
“And yet you scare the everliving shit out of teenagers for a whole month.”, Tony joked.
“It gets you all kinds of blood, doesn’t it?”
“I’m messing with you. I do appreciate you lugging around dead bodies for me, honey.”, Tony kissed his cheek and went to wash his hands and the countertops.
Bucky brought home more jars of blood and a few more carcasses for Tony to cook up. The color never left Tony’s cheeks and his stockpile of blood grew by the day. He’d gotten a little rounder too, but Bucky didn’t say anything and opted to stare at Tony’s ass until he was summoned away again.
“That deer’s blood you got a few days ago, that was really good. Try and see if you can get another one of those.”, Tony said, curled up by Bucky’s side a week later.
“Yeah, I’ll just change my summoning ritual into a list of your preferences.”, Bucky said sarcastically.
“Because you like to spoil me.”, Tony kissed his jaw.
“And because I think you’re cute.”
