I still remember the third of December, me in your sweater
You said it looked better on me than it did you
Only if you knew how much I liked you

Peter watched from afar as Bucky looked lovingly at Steve, The blonde not noticing too engrossed with his conversation with Tony about old movies. He told himself that he was older now and maybe Bucky would notice him but to no avail. The super soldier's heart still set on his first love even after all these years, Peter could admire it if it was anybody else but it wasn't.

But I watch your eyes as she
Walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than the blue sky
She's got you mesmerized while I die

All the time Peter spent looking at Bucky, talking to Bucky, flirting with him. Bucky never noticed him, just talked to him like a friend would, like a buddy, everytime Bucky looked in Peter's direction he smiled before he realized Steve was behind him or beside him, just near him. It made him realize whenever Bucky momentarily looked in his direction he was always just looking at him.

Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were Heather

The first time Peter saw Bucky kiss Steve, it was when He and Bucky were talking about Bucky's new book, Steve had came around the corner and spotted them talking he nodded at Peter and came behind bucky and bent down and kissed him, Bucky kissed back sweetly and wrapped his hand around the back of his neck, they kissed for a couple seconds before they both pulled back, Steve winked at Bucky and walked away. Bucky continues talking while Peter replays what he just saw in his mind, his heart breaking into smithereens.

Watch as she stands with her, holding your hand
Put your arm 'round her shoulder, now I'm getting colder
But how could I hate her? She's such an angel

Everytime the team has an outing, like going to the park or the cafe they always split up into their own conversations or sweet talking one of the others on the team. Peter watched sadly  on the park bench as Bucky and Steve walked hand in hand as did the other avengers, Peter shivered as a cold breeze passed him, he looked ahead and saw Bucky putting his arm around Steve's shoulder when Steve suddenly shivered. Peter  looked at Steve with anger before he realized Steve did nothing but accepted and reciprocated the love he was getting, that Peter wished he was getting.

But then again, kinda wish she were dead as she
Walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than the blue sky
She's got you mesmerized while I die

Peter is staring at the ceiling in his bed at the compound, when he hears something slide under his door, his eyebrows lift questioningly as he wonders if this is one of Clint's pranks before he sees what's written on the envelope. " Steve and Bucky's wedding" written in bold letters on the envelope. Peter's eyes widen before they quickly fill with tears threatening to pour over the edge, he opens the envelope seeing a nice minimalistic invitation with a picture of Bucky and Steve smiling holding hands in the snow. Peter looked at the picture with tears rolling down his face, not making a sound. When he finally went to sleep it was already morning. When he woke up he felt so numb.                              

Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty 
you  gave her your sweater, it's  just polyester
But you like her better
I wish I were Heather

Peter tried to avoid the topic of the wedding but it was the only thing Bucky or Steve wanted to talk about. Peter was talking to Bucky when he asked Peter to be his best man. He said yes trying to get his sob back down his throat. Bucky smiled and hugged him, Peter wiping his tears and hugging back. After the hug he excused himself to his room and sobbed his heart out.

I wish I were Heather

Peter hated when Bucky sat him down and asked for help planning the wedding, Peter obliged him. They talked about the wedding for hours, Peter wondering when the discussion would be over. Peter was happy Bucky was getting married just not to someone else.

Wish I were Heather
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester

He went to a suit fitting with Bucky and his other groomsmen,  while Steve was at another boutique. He had to watch Bucky try on a whole bunch of suits, his heart aching. After the suit fitting everyone paid for  their suits. Peter made his way back to the compound, he looked at his ceiling once more. He sighed before realizing that he set his heart on someone unattainable. He smiled and let himself finally let Bucky go. 

But you like her better

Peter watched as Bucky walked down the aisle accompanied by Aunt May, as she said she would be happy to walk him down the aisle as there was no one else to do it. Peter smiled at Bucky, "he looks so beautiful" Peter thought before, Bucky finally made it to the altar and smiled with tears in his eyes
before shifting his body to steve. They said their vows and  I do. Peter smiled as they kissed with a tear going down his face.

Wish I were......
