Love Triangle

Chapter 10

Bucky was pretty glad that he got his best friend back. All it took was both of them just taking little steps. Now, his best friend was completely back to normal. Bucky was no doctor and he knew that, but when the time came around and Steve needed help Bucky was right there to save him. He always would be there to see his friends. Steve, Natasha, and Bucky, they were always the power of three. They would always look out for each other no matter what the situation was. Bucky was thrilled that he was already able to look out for and save Steve. He would do the same exact thing for Natasha if she was ever caught in a jam. They never gave up on each other. They were always there for each other. Especially for he and Steve. They were both there for each other until the end of the line. Now, Natasha was automatically added into that promise for Bucky. He could never speak for Steve, but Bucky always relied on those words since World War II to keep their friendship as number one on their priority list. Bucky would never forget those words either. For any of his fellow soldiers. In his mind Natasha was a soldier too. Not in the sense of war or anything, but she was a fighter in her own sense of the word. They were all fighters. They never stopped protecting, fighting or relying on each other. Ultimately, who Natasha ended up with was her decision. If she chose Steve instead of him. That was her decision, Bucky would live with that. He would not like that, but he would stay quiet and keep his head down like he always did. Bucky wiped his face. He refused to let out his emotions in public. Public did include Natasha and Steve. Bucky knew he could trust them both, but he refused to let them show. He had the best friends ever. He should be smiling instead of weeping about anything. Bucky indeed would never admit to feeling jealousy over anyone. He always told himself envy was a wasted emotion. He refused to wallow into anything that came close to it. He might be giving into his emotions a bit too soon though. Sure, Natasha and Steve were very close, but he was just as close to both of them. He knew it was too soon to surrender his heart and admit to Natasha loving his best friend more than she loved him. Natasha knocked on Bucky's door. "Come in," he said quickly after he was sure there was no residue on his face. "Hey Bucky," Natasha said as she smiled beginning to lean against his firm shoulder again. "What's up Natasha?" Bucky asked curiously. "Oh um well Steve went out to run an errand or something, so I was thinking about exploring our little relationship a bit further." Bucky's eyes widened slightly ass his eyes met Natasha's. For a moment Bucky wondered if he was dreaming. However, Bucky refused to use any of those corny little tricks. They were much too obvious. He also worried that Natasha may see him differently if she witnessed him doing anything like pinching himself or rubbing a hand against his face to ensure alertness. He felt Natasha punch him softly in the arm. "Are you sure you want to do that Natasha? I wouldn't want to get caught with you if Steve returned earlier than we'd expect him to." Bucky saw Natasha shaking her head at him. "You know you are still such a dork sometimes." Natasha laughs softly not wanting to feed into the love that his eyes held for both her and Steve. "Oh really Natasha would a dork do something like this?" Bucky asked before he pulled her in against his chest and began to make out with her. Damn her lips felt nice. He awkwardly loved the way his hands fell perfectly against her petite little waist. He knew they had different work out routine's but Natasha was obviously working hard to keep her figure. Bucky could feel that. He could also feel the way her chest sort of melded with his. He worked really hard to hold back a moan. It was too soon for him to moan for his best friend. He thought for a second wondering if grabbing a beer or two would have any chance of harming the situation of them just casually making out like this. He couldn't always say beer was the answer. Bucky wanted to prove he was a better man than beer. The way him and Steve were all those years ago. Then all the sudden, a moan fell from Natasha's lips. He shook his head at her, unable to hold back the chuckle that quickly escaped his lips. "Something you want to tell me Natasha?" Bucky breathed softly against her neck. "Um I don't know Bucky I just really wasn't expecting anything like that to affect me the way you obviously just did." Natasha then let out a soft giggle. Bucky was immensely shocked by what Natasha just told him. "Wow, Natasha you know that has to stay a secret if we don't want anyone else to find out." Bucky joked. "Oh God I know Bucky, I wish kissing you didn't feel that great." Natasha confessed softly to him. "Gee thanks Natasha," that really hurt." Bucky said pointing to his heart. "Sorry Bucky," Natasha whispered the second she swore she heard the door swing open. They both headed downstairs acting completely normal. Like that little kiss never happened. "Oh hey guys, I hope you are in the mood for some chips and pizza." Steve said as he held a large pizza on his arm, as he held a grocery bag that contained chips and a variety of drinks on his other arm. "Steve you are a mad man, I was just thinking about pizza!" Bucky exclaimed as he ran at Steve and went to hug his best friend tightly. "I thought you might Buck, Natasha is pizza okay for you?" Steve asked raising his brow at Natasha as eyes blue eyes ran down her body. "Hell yeaah, you know pizza is a weakness for me Steve." Natasha laughed softly still humored by the way Bucky went for Steve as he held the pizza. "You need a hand?" Natasha asked reaching for the arm that was wrung around Steve's wrist. "Yeah, thanks Natasha a hand would be great." Steve chuckled at Bucky's excitement regarding the pizza he still held against his arm. He knew not to let go of the pizza, or at least not to give Bucky the box. He'd attacked pizza boxes in minor seconds for as long as they've been friends. Natasha was quick at Steve's side to help Steve bring the pizza to their little round table. Bucky immediately sat himself down like an obedient little puppy. Steve delivered, slices to Natasha, Bucky, and himself. "Eat up guys," Steve smiled at them both giving Bucky a nod in thanks for helping him out of his mood swing issue. It is now all corrected due to all of Bucky's dedication as one of the best friends ever. Steve could never say any of that vocally to Bucky, but their friendship is much too important. Steve loved both Bucky and Natasha, but Bucky stood by him, and really helped him out of the mess when Steve indeed believed there would be no way out.
