You went to see Steve next, after May. He was in the Compound's training room. When you saw him, you paused in the door. Bucky nudged you forwards but you turned to face him.
"He's not mad at me for being quiet earlier? Is he?"
"No, of course not. Now go give him a proper hug. He missed you."
You nodded and slowly approached Steve. You spoke when you were about five feet away, because he hadn't noticed you yet.
"Steve?"
He instantly twisted around and smiled when he saw it was you. "Hi y/n... is everything okay?"
You stood on your tiptoes to reach up and wrap your arms around his neck.
"Y/n/n, I'm all gross and sweaty" he laughed. You hugged him tighter. Steve pulled you closer, holding you against his chest. Over your shoulder, he gave Bucky a questioning look. Bucky amusedly shook his head at Steve and walked over. He was holding several bags; he took one in particular and held it up. "What's this?" Steve asked.
You stepped away to take the bag from Bucky and pass it on to Steve. He sat down cross-legged on the floor to open it so you sat down next to him. Steve moved the tissue paper out the way and pulled out a waffle maker.
"Wow, y/n, this is so cool. But I still don't understand why you got me a present?"
"It's a thank you for looking after me, Steve. Did you find the other thing?"
He looked back in the bag and found a piece of white card with two friendship bracelets wrapped around it.
"You don't have to wear them. I just saw them in the store and thought they were cute."
"Oh my god, I love it" Steve ripped the card and took one of the bracelets. He gave it to you then held out his wrist. "Put it on."
"You really wanna wear it?"
"Absolutely. You're gonna wear the other one, right?"
"Mhm."
You tied the bracelet around his wrist and he tied the other one around yours. Steve smiled at you the entire time. "Thank you y/n." He put his arm around you and pulled you to lean on his side as he planted a kiss in your hair. Then he looked up at Bucky. "How come you never got me a friendship bracelet before?"
"Didn't realise you wanted one."
"Does our friendship mean nothing to you?"
Bucky scoffed. "I'm sorry, Steve. I'll try harder."
"Mhm. Sure. I bet you won't. I bet you're going to forget all about me. You're too busy with Natasha."
You covered your hand with your mouth to conceal your laughter.
"Oh yeah. You know what? You're right. I'm gonna go see her now... enjoy your new waffle maker that I paid for." Bucky spun around to face the door. You realised he was going to leave.
"Bye Stevie." You quickly kissed him on the cheek before getting up to go after Bucky.
"Bye trouble. Love you tons" he called after you.
"Love you more" you yelled back.
***
You knocked on the door. Wanda responded from the other side of it, telling you to come in. You frowned at Bucky, confused as it was Nat's room you were standing outside of. He simply shrugged and opened the door.
"Hey ladies. Hi doll" he greeted them as he headed straight for the bed. He sat down beside Natasha and gave her a kiss. He'd left you over by the door, so you were standing just outside.
"Hi y/n" Wanda smiled.
"Wanna come in sweetie?" Natasha asked.
Bucky nodded his head, gesturing for you to come in. You took a couple steps forward but stayed near the door.
Bucky revealed a bouquet of flowers from one of the bags and a small velvet box. He gave them to Nat.
"What's this for?" she smiled, opening the box to find a necklace inside.
"Nothing. Just got you a present because I love you."
"Aw, baby, you're so kind." Nat took the necklace out the box and got Bucky to put it on her. As he did so, Nat looked over at you and smiled. "Y/n, honey, come sit down."
You got closer to them, but still only perched on the end of the bed. Bucky leaned towards you and gave you one of the bags. Wanda and Natasha were both watching you. You looked down into the bag to avoid eye contact. You took out two more little jewellery boxes. "I got you these" you said quietly. You handed one to Natasha and the other to Wanda.
"This is beautiful" Wanda smiled at the necklace you'd gotten her.
"Y/n I love them" Nat complimented her new earrings. "Thank you."
You smiled at them. Even more so when they decided to wear them right then.
"What do you think?" Nat asked Bucky. He tucked her hair behind her ears and grinned at her.
"Beautiful. They suit you."
They kissed. As they did, Wanda made a disgusted face. She opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue, imitating throwing up. You giggled quietly at her. The others stopped kissing.
"Don't think I couldn't see you, Wands" Bucky laughed, even though his eyes were fixed on Nat.
She rolled her eyes.
"Saw that too."
