Marvel Imagines pt. 5

Money has to roll pt. 7 ❤️‍🔥 Steve+Bucky Mob AU

Song: Deftones - Mascara.

Warnings: angst, fluff?, Tony understanding, Pepper being sus, Stephen and Loki being sus. Bucky and Steve awkwardness.

•••

It's awkward at dinner, Bucky is glancing at Steve the whole time while Steve is trying to avoid eye contact.

It's actually pretty funny now that you think about it. You had a gut feeling that your brother wouldn't be able to resist someone like Steve. And after that slip up when he called Steve "Stevie"? That was enough to know something is up.

But then again, you didn't need that image in your head.

'Okay... let's clear the air...' you sigh. 'I can't deal with this awkwardness even though it makes for a good distraction... you guys are a thing... you guys are cute together and I'm happy for you... but just.. lock the damn door next time, or just.. hang a tie on it or something..'

'Yeah, yeah...' Bucky grumbles under his breath.

'I mean it could've been worse...' you shrug.

That raises Bucky's eyebrow, 'worse how?'

'I mean it could've been our sweet little Angel, Morgan... she would be scarred for life... Pepper would go mental... but in all seriousness.. I'm happy for you...' you put your hand on his across the table and Bucky rolls his eyes.

'It's very... early.. and you weren't supposed to see anything... but I really like where this is going..' Bucky turns to Steve and Steve turns to him as well.

Bucky smiles in a way you have yet to see. After Sarah he hasn't been able to bond with anyone, just sleeping around. But that smile is proof that he has put trust in Steve.

'Don't fuck it up...' you comment before taking a sip of your drink with a smirk.

'There she is...' Sam comments and you chuckle.

Your eyes go over the restaurant while Steve and Bucky are still gazing at each other. It all seems normal enough for you to relax.

Believe it or not, you weren't really that keen on actually going to this place, it's very open and you'd be an easy target, but Bucky assured you, you'd be safe.

There's one little anxiety inducing thing though, Natasha's mother just happens to be there as well, having dinner with her family.

'You okay?' Sam asks.

'Yeah... yeah I'm fine..' you lie as you tear your eyes away from them.

'Y/n...' Sam grabs your attention again by taking the drink out of your hand.

'Hm?'

'Your hand...it's shaking like a leaf...are you sure you're okay?'

'I'm fine...'

Sam looks towards the table you got shaken up from and he understand immediately. The reason for all this misery is sitting right there, having dinner with the only person besides your inner circle that you trust. Stephen Strange is sitting there with Loki. Both parents present as well.
