Falling for the Football Players

Chapter 2

Steve yawned for like the fifth time that morning as he dug through his locker, hair still damp from the showers. Steve showed up early every morning to get a workout and run in.

"Hey" Tony walked up, grinning. "I see you remembered your bag"

Steve chuckled, closing his locker. "Don't sound so sad." He teased, turning to face Tony.

"Hey if the towel was any smaller it'd be a washcloth" he huffed, putting on an exaggerated pout.

Steve just grinned. "It wasn't that small" he laughed "And no pouting." He hummed, taking his finger and tapping Tony's lower lip.

Tony flicked his tongue out unconsciously.Steve licked his own lips, withdrawing his hand.

"So where is Clint?" He asked, changing the subject before he pressed Tony against the lockers and kissed him senseless.

"He will be here soon," Tony shrugged. "Any minute really, he has to have his mom drive him in"

"Ah," Steve hummed. "Hey Buck" he said with a smile when his best friend walked up.

"Hey Fido. Tony" he grinned. "Where's Clint?" His eyes glinted. "We stayed up half the night"

Tony laughed, shaking his head.

Steve rolled his eyes. As if Clint knew they were asking about him, he came walking up. 'Morning, Tony' he signed, giving the two jocks a small wave.

Bucky smiled, waving back before shakily signing 'Morning Clint'

Tony's eyes widened, a huge grin growing on his face.

Steve signed it as well with a smile and Clint just stared in shock, turning to Tony and blinking and signing 'They started learning?....both of them?'

Tony grinned wider, signing back 'told you they were serious'.

Bucky tilted his head, watching intently.

Clint was still in shock, but smiled 'Thank you' he sighed to them both.

Clint finger spelled his name then showed them his name sign, a 'C' being pulled back like a bow because he loved archery.

Bucky repeated it slowly, his eyes lighting up. "That's you right?"

Tony nodded. "He loves archery so he made his name sign to include it"

Clint nodded happily, watching Steve try it out. Clint then pointed to Tony and did his name sign next, a 'S' for Stark, taking flight.

Bucky gave a confused look. "An S?"

Tony flushed. "I'm Tony STARK"

Clint smiled, nodding, reaching to help Bucky do the sign correctly

Steve signed Tony's name to him. "That right?"

Bucky smiled, signing 'thank you'

Clint gave him a soft smile, nodding and signing ' you're welcome' and Bucky repeated the action slowly.

Tony grinned, nodding. "Yup"

"Can you ask what our name signs would be?" Steve asked curiously, Clint still helping Bucky even though he was sure Bucky already knew the sign by now.

"Yeah hold on, I'll show you how to get his attention too" he stepped a smidge closer, waving his hand in Clint's peripheral vision.

"Thanks, I just didn't know the right signs to ask with." Steve said with a laugh.
