Sunlight flooded the office, illuminating Bucky as he absently stroked the massive white tiger curled on his desk. Alpine purred, a low rumble that vibrated through the floorboards. In the doorway, you stood frozen, arms crossed, watching the mafia boss coddle the beast with a tenderness reserved for no one else. The air was thick with unspoken resentment. Bucky didn’t look up, his fingers working soothing circles behind the predator’s ears, completely oblivious to the storm brewing in the entrance. The contrast was sharp: the dangerous, illegal pet receiving royal treatment while the partner stood ignored. It was a tableau of misplaced affection, dangerous and absurd.
