Chapter 54: Talk to Me, Talk to Us

"Peter! Friday told me you were here." Sam yelled as he entered the common room. "Oh! Great you're also dressed."

"Uh, what?" Peter looked down confused at his grey joggers and white t-shirt. "Were you looking for me?"

Sam gave him a bored look, "Obviously, yes. Come on, let's get a head start on today's run. Steve and Bucky are taking their sweet ass time and I've been ready for ages. At this rate I'll be as old as them, they take forever."

Before Peter could protest about going, Sam and slung his arm over his shoulders and guided him to the elevator.

"Where are we going exactly?" Peter asked as they exited the elevator and walked out of the tower.

"Out for a morning run." Sam said. "We actually wanted to invite you earlier, but you were never around."

"Oh."

"But hey, you're here now, so that's what matters."

"Hey!"

The two turned around and saw Bucky and Steve making their way towards them.

"Couldn't bother to wait, huh?" Bucky said.

"No, your slow asses took too long." Sam retorted.

Steve rolled his eyes and then smiled at Peter. "Hey kid. Glad to see you here."

"Sam, sort of dragged me here." Peter said, ducking his head.

"Sam! You didn't even ask if he wanted to join or not?"

Sam rose his hands in mock surrender. "He could have pulled out my grip at any point! It's not like I held him hostage."

Steve and Bucky turned to Peter for an answer, ignoring Sam's sound of betrayal. Peter shrugged and gave them a slight smile.

"I mean, he's technically not wrong."

Bucky snorted and Steve chuckled.

"See? Thank you. Now are we gonna go or has old age gotten to you?" Sam crossed his arms, smirking.

The two super soldiers looked at each other before looking at Sam. Without saying anything, the two ran off, leaving Sam and Peter in the dust. Sam grumbled and turned to Peter who was trying (and failing) to suppress his smile.

"What? You were kind of asking for it." Peter said.

"Rude." Sam rolled his eyes.

"So, why were you waiting to ask me to join?" Peter asked as he kept pace with Sam. "Is it just to keep them from annoying you with their joke?"

"Hm? Oh, nah. They've toned it down but they still do it."

As if to prove a point Steve ran past saying a quick "On your left".

"It's just been a while since you've joined us and it's actually nice to have someone who willing keeps pace with you, unlike those jackasses."

Bucky ran past smirking but didn't say anything as he ran off.

"Although, I don't know what's more annoying. The fact that they don't say anything or the "on your left" part," Sam huffs out. "Where have you been anyway? You've kind of just disappeared. Were you trying to avoid us?" Sam lightly teased.

Peter stumbles and Sam throws him a concerned look. "No! I mean no. I'm not... I'm not avoiding you guys. I'm just- just busy, I guess."

'Lies.'
