Widower (Marvel)

015

It was morning and everyone was up and eating. Clint said he was gonna cook which really meant he was gonna warm up hot pockets in the microwave and hand them out on plates. Winter was eating his plums happily while Steve was reading the newspaper. Steve was surprised that Winter was even eating or not asleep. Winter couldn't sleep because he was in a a new environment with a lot of people and sounds. Since Steve knew Winter wasn't asleep he couldn't sleep.

 Natasha let Rory eat oatmeal with fruit. And according to Widower it had to be strawberries or he couldn't function right. After Rory finished eating Widower came out to check up on everything but then decided to stick around. Wanda was eating a hot pocket but swore she was gonna cook dinner since she knew Clint was probably gonna warm up some chimichangas. Vision was making coffee for Steve, Widower, Wanda, and Natasha. Sam was happy with orange juice and Yelena wanted almond milk.

It was quiet except for the sounds of people eating and the sound of orange juice chugging. "So I was thinking we all could have a movie night with popcorn and candy. And if Rory and Winter can't stomach popcorn or candy then they can have ice cream or fruit." Wanda suggested. Everyone thought about. It couldn't hurt to take their minds off of the recent events. "Sounds good." Steve answered her and everyone else nodded their in agreement.

After everyone finished eating they all decided to have a nice game of High Low. Steve got out the board and cleared the table while Yelena got the cards. She shuffled the cards and everyone got a stack of their own cards. Natasha put down the first card. It was a ace of hearts so everyone put down their lowest heart. Natasha smirked and put down a Queen of hearts. That smirk faded when Widower put down a King. After a couple rounds of Widower winning and everyone getting mad because of it, Yelena challenged him. She put down her best cards but was still not a match for Widower. 

Yelena and Widower were down to their last cards. "If you win I'll let you get whole bottle of one of my strongest vodkas." She offered. Widower nodded and watched as she put down a King of Diamonds. He sighed knowing what a night he will get into. Yelena mistook as a sigh in defeat so she smiled. Widower put down a Ace of Diamonds. He smirked as he put it down. Yelena sighed and got out her bottle from her book bag. 

"Here." She said with a twinge of bitterness. Widower knew she wasn't expecting to lose and that was why she offered. He smiled and took the bottle from her hands. Wanda smiled at their antics and held out a movie case to everyone to see if they were okay to watch it. It was Jumanji Next Level.

During the movie at the castle scene when Alex died and fell down the icy castle walls Steve couldn't help but think about when Bucky was falling down. Watching that scene had him feel just like how he felt when he couldn't catch Bucky's hand. He felt self hatred for himself. He always did towards Bucky. He felt that it was his fault that Bucky became the Winter Soldier. He could still hear the scream of Bucky as he fell. He could taste the drink he drunk to get over Bucky's 'death'. So Steve got up and left the room. 

After the movie Winter Soldier couldn't figure out why Steve walked out from the movie. He felt like should've followed him but he wasn't ordered to. The soldier felt like it was his fault. He felt like he did something bad, but he didn't do anything except watch the TV. 

Winter Soldier was feeling worried because Steve wasn't there with him and he was gone for a long time. He was supposed to protect his handler but he couldn't do that when he wasn't near Steve. So when the credits rolled around he got up and ignored the others asking him where he was going. 

He found Steve in his room. The door was cracked and Steve was on his bed with covers wrapped him. He had tissues in the trashcan beside his bed. Winter just cleared opened the door a little more which made a sound gaining Steve's attention. Steve turned to Winter and wiped his eyes with the palms of his hands. "Are you hurt?" Winter asked. "Umm... No. I just needed a moment." Steve explained with a deep breathe. Winter thought that was Steve's way to tell him to leave. When Winter went to move and close the door he heard Steve. "Don't. Stay please.." Steve asked and then sat on the edge of the bed and patted the spot in the bed beside him.

Winter tensed but still sat beside Steve. "Did I cause you to get hurt?" Winter asked after a couple minutes of silence. His eyes trained on the ground. Steve was very shocked. "No, no, no! You didn't cause me to get hurt. I just had some sad thoughts on my mind." Steve assured. Winter just nodded. "How about me and you go back to the others? We could go eat ice cream and watch a bunch of movies." Steve suggested. He just got a nod in response. The Winter Soldier and Steve both went back to the others and watched movies.
