You and Clint had been keeping your new relationship a secret for months, but it had become harder and harder for the two of you to make things less noticeable. You knew Tony would have many things to say and Fury would harass Clint for robbing the cradle as he always referred to you as the baby of the group.
You and Clint had decided to have a game night in the common room and were both lying on the floor with controllers in your hands. You had convinced him to play the old school Mario cart game and you were kicking his ass. Between the groans from him after every race and the squeals from you the two of you had not noticed Bucky had walked in and was watching you two from the couch in the corner.
Bucky was your best friend. He was the one you had connected with right away. He knew what it felt like to be an outsider and not fit in right away.
"Hey! Are you ever going to let me win one of these?" Clint whines to you as he grabs your side and starts to tickle you.
"Stop....Clint....Please..." You try to speak but between the laughing and squirming trying to get away from him you run out of breath. Finally pinning him to the ground by sitting on his legs you look up and notice Bucky sitting there. "Oh, hey Buck didn't know you were in here. You wanna play?" You hold out your controller as Clint squirms under you trying to get free.
He shakes his head tilting his head to the side. You don't think anything of it. He always seemed jealous of yours and Clint's friendship, but you didn't have the heart to tell him that you and Clint had started dating. He was having a tough time meeting people and the last thing you wanted was to rub that in his face. Clint slides his hand down and interlocks his fingers with yours bringing your hand up to his face and kissing the back of your hand. You notice as Bucky's eyes go from you to Clint. His eyes widen and his mouth drops open.
"Wait...something's different here." He whispers pointing a finger at you and Clint.
Clint rolls over onto his back tossing you to the ground and the two of your bust out laughing.
"Are you two...." Bucky links his two pointer fingers together. "Together?"
You snap up rushing over to him. "Please don't say anything Buck. We don't need the grief from the team right now."
He takes his eyes off of Clint and turns to you with his puppy dog eyes. "I'm not, but I thought I was your best friend. Why wouldn't you tell me?" He looks down at his hands in his lap and breathes out a deep sigh.
"I...I don't know. I'm sorry Bucky. Me and Clint just agreed to keep is quiet for right now." You place your hand over his and squeeze. "Please don't be mad. I'm sorry."
Bucky looks up at you, half smiles then gets up and walk off in a huff.
Clint walks over to you taking a seat next to you on the couch. "Everything ok? He seemed kind of bummed out."
"I don't know he's never been this way with me. I'm going to go talk to him." You stand up and Clint grabs your hand and pulls you down to him as he kisses your lips gently.
"Barton? Y/L/N?" Tony's voice booms behind you.
"Guess the cat's outta the bag now." You kiss his cheek then walk off in the direction Bucky had left. Walking past Tony who had his mouth wide open in shock. "Better close that or flies might get in." You laugh at your joke as you walk past Tony.
"Wha..." Tony stumbles into the common room toward Clint as you hear faint chatter fading.
