The Spark That Never Dies Part: One

Chapter Four

Everyone migrated into the living room earlier than expected, even inviting a few people you had yet to have the pleasure of meeting which already made the night more eventful. You ended up sitting with Wanda, talking about the similarities and differences with your powers. Her twin brother, Pietro, hung out on the back of the couch, listening in and telling you some stories about Wanda to embarrass her, making the three of you laugh. Bucky squished between the arm of the couch and you, making you turn to him with a warm smile and he winked at you before you got back to the conversation you were having with the Maximoff twins.

Tony, Rhodey, and Steve were chatting on the sofa, talking about something in the news you hadn't heard about, but it was making them crack up. Clint was showing Bruce something on his phone that made him take his glasses out to look at while Carol and Thor were talking about different planets they had recently visited.

There were plenty of places to sit, but Natasha chose to avoid you at all costs, sitting on the opposite side of the room. You tried to catch her eye, but she swiftly trained hers on the TV that displayed the options you added to the list on Netflix. She kept her face stoic as she read the titles and you raised your eyebrows quickly, going back to the conversation once again.

"Pizza's here!" Scott cheered, coming into the room with six boxes, and laying them down on the table next to the snacks.

After everyone plated some slices and grabbed some drinks, you all settled on one of the movies.

The room fell dark and quiet as it began.

You spotted Scott mouthing some of the lines that Bruce Willis said, and it made you smile. He must've seen this movie about fifty times, and he still seemed entranced by it.

About halfway through, Bucky got up to get a drink and when he came back, his hand casually rested on your thigh. You blushed a bit under the feeling, looking at his hand, and when your eyes peered up, you saw Natasha watching you both. She didn't catch your eye at first and you could've sworn she looked angry, but when she noticed you looking at her, her attention quickly snapped to the screen and her expression was once again unreadable.

You shook it off, not paying attention to it anymore, but then Bucky suddenly yawned loudly, snapping hers and some others' attentions to him. At the same time he yawned, he threw his arm around your shoulders and pulled you into him slightly. You looked up at him curiously and he smiled, shooting you another wink which only confused you more. Shrugging, you looked back to the movie, but couldn't shake the feeling of someone staring at you, burning holes, the rest of the time.

After watching the sequel, people started getting tired and one by one it claimed them. At the first indication that it was okay to leave, Natasha bolted out of there and Bucky followed her only a moment later, wishing everyone a good night.

"Are you and Bucky...?" Steve asked shyly, sitting on the floor near the couch.

"What?" You laughed, "No, we're just friends."

"Seemed awfully close for friends..." Pietro added, trailing off with a smirk.

Shit.

That's why Natasha was upset. She saw Bucky touching you and got jealous.

"I'll be right back." You told them, rushing out of the room, and finding her room quickly.

The door was shut, and you took a deep breath before knocking cautiously on it.

"What?" She yelled from the other side, sounding angry.

"Can I come in?" You called back with a cringe.

There was a long amount of silence on the other end before you heard the click of the lock. First thought you had was she locked it so you couldn't enter, but a second later, the door opened, and the redhead poked her head out.
