NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR // OPEN

At times, Buckingham still can't believe what an awful person he was back in his old home. While he was manipulated into that living breathing weapon, he made the decision to stay there after he was freed from Ximen's grasp. For months, he made an excuse that he couldn't stop the person he was forced to become. He tried to accept it, and that only made his guilt and regret grow heavy on his chest. Living his life as a second chance, especially in Sunhaven, has given him the opportunity to see how he was so, so wrong. And it's in moments like this, where thieves deliberately pick on people who try to do the right thing. Deliberately inflicting more harm to their victim when they realize they got the upper hand. It makes Bucky's chest spiral with anger. And when Bucky padded into the scene, eyes landing on a bloodied and bruised Steve, and Ymir attacking the thief who pinned the devon rex, his light blue eyes landed on the other thief.

Eyes blazing with anger, his lips curled into a snarl. First off, these thieves aren't going to walk away with any valuable items. They won't have time to grab their bags as Bucky will make sure their tails are tucked between their legs, running. He's more pissed that they're hurting Steve-- god he knows that Steve never turns away from any kind of danger. When Bucky's house capsized, Steve was the first one to jump in to pull Bucky out. Steve also risked his safety to pull Bucky away from Stryker. In those two moments, Steve wasn't harmed, but in situations like this, his blood boils at the bullies.

Without even any kind of warning, the maine coon lunged at the other thief. Having no time to get out of the former assassin's aim, the second tom crashed into the ground, with Buckingham holding them down firmly. The thief hissed at the Helion, which only resulted with a metal paw coming their way, smacking their skull. They quickly went quiet, whimpering from the pain. It's almost amusing-- one moment, they were so high and mighty and the next they're whimpering like cowards. He placed his metal paw back on their shoulder, staring at them dead in the eye. "Listen to me very closely," He began to hiss, ears flattened to his skull, "You, and your buddy over there, are going to leave my territory empty handed, before it gets messy, capiche?"
