I am so so so so sorry that it has taken me so long to get this fic updated. I kind of lost sight of where I wanted it to go and I got a new job and ran into some family issues. I'm not going to promise that there will be a consistent update schedule or anything but I am going to do my best! Thank you to those that have stuck with this fic so far! Italics will be used for flashbacks and inner monologues!

"So how long have you been in love with her?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bucky's POV
"Psh in-in love? With Olivia? That's crazy. Wh-why would you think I love her o-or something?" The words finally stumbling their way out of my mouth after an embarrassing amount of time just staring at Valkyrie.
Valkyrie's smirk only seemed to grow as I barely managed to form a complete sentence and she started here response. "Oh maybe just the way you haven't been able to stop staring at her all night? The way your face gets all nice and pink whenever she talks to you. How about the way you seemed to choke on air when she flirted with me? Oh! Or what about when.."
"Okay I get it you've got examples but you're looking at it completely wrong. Why would I be interested in Olivia Miller when she's clearly interested in you?" I interrupted and returned my attention to my drink.
"So you wouldn't mind if I took her back to where I'm staying then? There wouldn't be any animosity towards me or Olivia if we made a mutual, consensual, decision to take this party back to my place?" Valkyrie asked, smirk ever present on her lips.
"Nope. Not at all. Have fun. She's a loud one. Try not to get a noise complaint," I tipped my glass to Valkyrie, pushing my chair back and making my way to the bar. Jack said nothing as he passed me a double of whiskey and I downed it in one go, requesting another, this time taking it back to the table with my friends. Olivia and Valkyrie had made their way to a small table with Liv practically sitting in Valkyrie's lap, Valkyrie running her fingers through Olivia's hair. Liv never lets anyone touch her hair, she claims it takes too long to do so why should someone get to play with it. I wonder if Liv is in her right mind at all, flirting with this Valkyrie person. What the hell kind of name is Valkyrie anyways...
"Hey mate, what were you and Val talking about? It seemed pretty serious," Thor interrupted my thoughts with a clap on my back, ultimately grabbing the attention of our entire table.
"I heard that they were talking about how in love he is with Olivia," Loki said wiggling his brows teasingly.
"Oh well it doesn't take a genius to figure that out, and I am a genius. He's been hooked since day one. Why he hasn't made a move yet is beyond me," Tony said matter-of-factly with a smirk on his lips and a sip of his drink, causing the rest of our friends to chuckle as if what he said was law. Their reactions doing nothing to quell the tightness I felt in my stomach regarding the conversation.
"Oh man, you guys should have heard the things he said after he met her at Tony's party that first night. He would not shut up about her and demanded to know everything I knew about her life, her story, I was surprised he didn't ask for her damn zodiac sign!" Sam spewed from where he was leaning on Natasha.
Steve joined in on the teasing by adding, "and when we were looking for a roommate when Sam moved out? He immediately suggested Liv. Nobody else. We could have asked Tony, or Vis, hell even Thor or Loki. But nope first suggestion was 'hey what about Miller? She's cool to hang out with and would probably be pretty chill.' I knew then the man was in loooooOOOOOOvvveeeee."
That was what did it. That is what finally caused the tightness in my stomach to bubble up and make the following words explode from my mouth, "why does everyone insist I'm in love with Olivia fucking Miller? You couldn't pay me to ask her out. I don't love her, I have never loved her, I will never love her. If anything I see her more as the annoying little sister who won't leave me the fuck alone! She's been a part of my life for too long now and I could not give a fuck if she just up and left. Now will you all stop it with the fucking teasing!"
