A Drink and a Sketch (Avengers Steve x Tony)

Chapter 4: BUCKY'S BACK+OTHER STUFF

Steve's P.O.V.

Bucky acts like we haven't missed a day of being friends. He was also acting like we didn't try to kill each other once so..it was a bit odd at first, funny but odd. "So is it ok that I crash here?" He sits down on the couch and stretches, "sure I guess. Can we catch up tomorrow? I'm a bit tired and I spent the day with a drunk billionaire." He nods and stretches his arms up, before lying down on the couch. "Yeah, I'm tired too. See you tomorrow." I blink and the next thing I know, I'm asleep.

The next day

"Wake up." I open my eyes and Bucky is about to flick me in the forehead. "I'm up!" I shoot up out of my chair and he laughs. "Good, if I flicked you with this arm, I'd hurt." He laughs again and walks over to the kitchen, "do you have food?" I shrug and he opened the fridge and grabs something from it. "So when did you get your memory back?" He shrugs, "well I woke up at this building, and after I figured out how to use a phone and then I got your number and here I am, eating this apple." He tosses the apple from one hand to the next but I take it, "no! I'm eating this apple." I take a bite and he rolls his eyes, "I still wish when you were still small. Now I have to call you Steve." I rub my face for a second, "how did you master using a phone before I did?" He shrugs and sits down at the kitchen counter, "I have a robotic arm, so I gives me an advantage because of technology I guess?" We quickly leave the apartment and start walking around, "I actually used you as an excuse to leave a...situation yesterday."

He shrugs and walks next to me a bit faster than usual, "well I guess that you aren't lying now, and I think a car is following us." I look behind us, "oh." I walk faster as well and then someone calls me, and I make a one minutes signal to Bucky but then I can't answer my phone. So he laughs, answers the phone, and hands it to me. "Hello Dr.Banner, what do you want?" I hear some shuffling, "Bucky escaped and we can't find him." I smirk and walk into an alley and put it on speaker phone, "I'm right here Dr.Banner. What's the matter?" He sighs in relief, "so he hasn't tried to kill you?" I snicker again, "no...if he wanted to he would've done it last night when he was sleeping on my couch." I hear his move his phone, "good, I don't feel like going to a funeral anytime soon. But can you bring him to SHEILD still? So I can check to make sure he isn't going to try and kill everyone again?" Bucky rolls his eyes, "I am offended! I was brainwashed so yeah..." I flick Bucky and hear Dr.Banner sigh in frustration, "shut him up and get him here. NOW." He hangs up and Bucky looks confused, "he is the hulk, so when he gets mad he turns into a giant green monster that destroys everything. So don't do that, now let's go before he gets mad."

He nods and follows me out of the alley and to SHEILD HQ. Once we get there Dr.Banner is at the front doors impatiently. "It took you two long enough." Bucky walks up to him, "you're coming with me, we don't know if you're going to kill everyone or not." Dr. Banner grabs Bucky's arm and drags him off and I follow them. "I already said that I was brainwashed." Bucky crosses his arms and follows Bruce into his lab, and Tony is there. I shrink out of the lab and try to control the blush creeping up on my face. I walk down the hall away from the lab until I hear someone call my name, "Steve!" I stop and turn around to see Bucky, thankfully. "Hey Bucky." I start walking with Bucky, "well in the lab a guy was asking about you, I think his name was Tony." I gulp a little and walk faster, "th-that's nice. But I'll talk to him later." He nods and we walk around for a minute before Bucky gets pulled away by Dr.Banner again. I give up and sit down in a weird break room-ish area. I grab my small sketchbook from my back pocket and grab a discarded pencil. I zone out for a second and my reflexes kick in, I've been drawing a lot more as of late.

After a while I look down at the sketch. It's another one of Tony. I rip it out, crumble it into a little ball, and throw it in a trash can. I mumble to myself as I throw it, "dang it Steve! You can't feel this way." I slam the booklet closed as I hear footsteps behind me, "stop sneaking up on me Bucky!" I turn around but it isn't Bucky, it's Tony. "Do I look like Bucky to you?" I shake my head and he sits down next to me, "now we can continue the conversation about you liking some." I frown and cross my arms. "Can I at least guess?" I tilt back in my chair and shrug, "fine! You get...3 guesses." He taps his chin, "Natasha?" I stare at him for a second before shaking my head, and he raises an eyebrow. "Can I get a hint or 2?" I smirk and nod, "well...he's smart." He slouches and taps his chin for a minute, "Bruce?" I shake my head and he sighs, "Clint?" I stifle a laugh and shake my head and he rolls his eyes, "you get 1 more guess before I walk out to go find Bucky." I sit up, waiting for his reply. "It's Bucky isn't it?" I groan and stand up, "apparently I was wrong about how smart who I like is." I walk out of the room and he rushes after me, "What did I miss?" I just keep walking so he can't see the blush on my face. He keeps chasing me and I finally stop...and he runs into me from behind. "Oof!" He stands up and backs into a wall. "I'm...sorry, I was just curious." I stand up and put an arm against the wall so he can't move away. "So you can't figure it out can you?" He looks confused and I smirk. "Never mind." I move my arm and walk away. "Why can't you just tell me?" He grabs my shoulder and I swat it away. Because I don't want you to hate me. "Because I want you to guess."

He actually looks a bit pouty, so I give him a break. "I don't feel like guessing." I cross my arms and smirk, "well to bad shorty." He frowns and crosses his arms, "fine! If you want me to guess, I want another hint." I smirk and tap my chin, "your last hint until the end of time will be....the guy that I like, I drew a picture of his drunk-singing in my sketchbook." (Now remember Steve still has Tony half-pinned against the wall...again) I remove my arm and walk down the hall. Did I just say that? I think I did. I walk down the hall and I didn't hear him follow. I look for Bucky and find him in a cell. It was like the one that they put Loki in. "Bucky...why are you here?" He shrugs and Dr.Banner walks up next to me. "I found a microchip in his arm that seems to control his actions from an outside location. Bucky will remain here until we figure out that location because we don't want people to die." I nod and walk up to the cage, "I've gotta go Bucky, I'll catch up with you later." He doesn't move from the center of the room, his fists clenching and unclenching. "Just get out before something bad happens." I nod and walk out of the room, avoiding Tony as best as possible.
