The Last Avenger.

Chapter 6

* 6 MONTHS LATER *

dear diary,

i've been actually happy. nothing bad has happened recently and everything's okay. i think i actually might just surprise peter tonight. i think i'm gonna tell him tonight.

sincerely, y/n.

I woke up with Peter already making breakfast for everyone.

"Goodmorning, beautiful." Bucky said. "Goodmorning, dad." Peter finally finished cooking. 

We all ate, then Peter got up. "Later." He said. I got up too. "Where are you going?" I asked. He never leaves without telling me so I was just curious. "For a walk. I need to be alone. And don't worry. Nothing's wrong. I just need some space from people for like, an hour." He reassured. 

I nodded my head. We all continued to eat. "You ever think he may be lying?" Thor questioned. I furrowed my eyebrows. "What do you mean?" I asked. I was looking up at Thor now. "I mean, he almost didn't say anything to anyone about leaving. He looked like he wouldn't even say anything to you. Like he was sneaking off." Thor accused. 

I was almost mad but I started thinking about it. He was mostly on his phone all night not talking to me. I decided to wait about 30 minutes to follow me. 

I got dressed and went to the park. When I got there, I saw him. He was sitting on a bench with some food in his hand. Then MJ walked up. She sat down beside him and rested her head on his shoulder. He kissed her head. My eyes started tearing up and I couldn't watch anymore. I ran back to the tower and ran straight to my room.

Everyone stared at me while I ran. "I'll go talk to her." Bucky said. 

My dad knocked on my door. "Go away. I don't wanna talk." I said. You could tell I had been crying by my voice. "Can we talk?" Dad asked. "Fine." I said. He walked in and sat on my bed. "What happened kiddo?" I started crying again. "Hey. Come here." He said. I sat up and cried in my dad's arms. 

"You know I followed Peter because he's been acting weird for two days." I explained. He nodded his head. "I see him on a bench at the park. Then MJ, my past bestfriend, walks up to him. She sits beside him, leans her head on his shoulder, and he kisses her forehead." 

"Are you serious?" Steve came in. "I'm guessing you heard everything." I said. He nodded. I tilted my head towards my bed to invite Steve. He came over and dad left. Steve and I just sat there for what felt like hours hugging. I really needed it. 

"Thanks for this. Peter is such an idiot." I said. "He most definitely is, and he's gonna get his ass handed to him." Steve said. I laughed. For the first time in two days. I pulled away from him to lay down and turn a movie on. Steve laid down with me, his arm stretched over my shoulder for me to lean on. We watched Star Wars until I fell asleep.

I woke up 3 hours later, with Steve asleep like I was. I let him sleep, but I got up and went to the living room. I saw Peter, and my face immediately changed. I chose to show no emotion. Although, that was kinda hard because my eyes were red and puffy. 

He looked at me and looked away. I walked past him, saying nothing. "Hey dad. Can we go somewhere?" I asked coldly. He nodded his head. Peter quickly got up. "Are you okay?" Peter asked with tears. I just looked at him.

"Why would I be okay? Don't ask stupid questions. Tell me. How is MJ?" I asked. He gulped. "What does MJ have to do with me and you?" He asked.

"I followed you about 30 minutes after you left. I saw you and MJ on the bench. You kissed her." I said, sobbing. He started crying. I started to walk away when he stopped me. "Wait. I'm sorry. Please forgive me." I shook my head. "Peter, you know I can't do that." He started shaking his head. "No. I won't accept that. You have to forgive me. I can't live without you." Peter started yelling. "PETER. STOP." Steve cut in. Peter rolled his eyes. "I loved you Peter. I thought you loved me too. I was wrong. So no. I won't forgive you." 

I walked into the elevator with my dad and left.

We walked back to the tower about 3 hours later, and my dad told me there was a surprise upstairs. So he gave me a blindfold when we got into the elevator. We went up and then the doors opened. I took the blindfold off and there were a whole bunch of decorations. I covered my mouth and hugged my dad.

"I know you've been struggling for a few hours, so I figured we could throw you a little party for trying." Nat said. Clint, Steve, Bruce, Tony, and my dad were all in on it. "Thank you guys!" I said. 

We all just talked and danced to music when a slow song turned on. "May I have this dance?" I turned around to see Steve. "I don't think I should. I'm still kinda hurt because of Peter." I said. "Come on. Just one dance?" Steve begged. "Okay fine. One dance." He almost grabbed my waist when I stopped him. "On one condition." I said, holding my finger up. 

"What is that condition?" He asked. "You have to promise me that whatever happens, you'll be there for me. Like you are right now." He nodded. "Always and forever." Steve said. 

He grabbed my waist and I put my arms around his neck. 

*The song was Flashlight by Jessie J/Hailee Steinfield*

We danced and it felt like no one was around us. I looked up when he picked his head up. "What?" I said. He just stared at me. "Nothing." He smiled. I leaned my head into his chest and the song ended. 

*Steve's POV*

artY/n walked out of the room when the song ended. I turned back and everyone was at me. "What?" I asked. 

Bucky walked up to me. "You love her, don't you?" He asked. I looked down. "More than anything." I whispered. He nodded. "Go for it." I looked up at him. "I can tell you won't hurt her. She deserves someone like you. Whether it's you or not." I nodded. "I understand. Thanks Bucky. I didn't think you'd understand." I laughed. "I still don't quite understand why she likes you, but I understand why you like her. She's amazing. I'm just proud to call her my daughter." Bucky said.

"Wow. She's changed you. You really sound like a dad now." I laughed. Bucky shoved my shoulder. "Go get your girl, punk." He said. I nodded and walked after y/n.
