"Well, I'm glad everyone is awake for once." called out Steve with a smile. "Well, expect for Tony of course."

Today was training day. Once a week, Steve would organize them, to make sure everyone at Avenger's base would be fit and ready for an upcoming mission, usually into the stealth department: not everyone was a good spy, to put it bluntly. But as serious he wanted it to be, half of the crew never bothered to join, and the other half ended up ditching the game for something else halfway through.

You were actually the only one taking it seriously. You were always up and ready each Sunday morning, ready to kick some ass. Steve was real proud someone actually put effort in what he organized, altough the game with only two players left wasn't actually that fun.

"Today, I'm counting on every one of you to play 'til the end." the blonde man stated to the crew.
"And how are you going to do that?" Pietro asked with a scoff.
"I can't believe I'm going to say that but... We'll be playing Hide and Seek."

Everyone in the crowd cheered, you as well. If Hide and Seek was no doubt a childish game, you didn't mind being childish yourself sometimes. You smiled and looked at your partners around you.

Pietro and Wanda were laughing and smiling happily. Sam was sitting on the ground, his fist brought up in the air. Clint and Natasha were whispering to each other, probably making a plan on how they would kick everyone's ass. Vision was standing in the middle with a troubled expression, as Rhodes explained him the basic rules of the game. The only one missing was Tony (who had never even attended a training day).

You were about to call Bucky missing too when you perceived him, far away from the rest of the group. He was watching everyone else cheering and having fun, with literally no emotions on his face.

You had to admit you felt bad for him: he was never at the practices so much either, and during the rare times he was, he spended his time either alone or with Steve. You two hadn't talked a lot, as you weren't much of a talker yourself, but you often tried to help him become normal with others. Your work hadn't made any progress so far, but you kept trying. And, maybe... Just maybe... You slowly started to develop a crush on him. But the thought was always brushed out of your mind: you hadn't the time for crushes.

From afar, you waved at him with a smile, but his look seemed to be focused on another way. Your attention was quickly drawn back to the front of the room, where Steve loudly cleared his throat to bring back everyone's attention.

"Since we're trying to spice things up a bit, you'll have to hide in team of two." he explained. "And no, Natasha and Clint cannot be together."
"Oh come on!" shouted Barton from the other side of the room, making you repress a laugh.
"And of course, using your abilities is forbidden too. We're just practicing on your ability to hide here."
"Fine by me." declared Wanda, giving her brother a punch on the shoulder as he was about to replicate.

As you geared up for the upcoming game, you caught a glimpse of someone approaching in the corner or your eye, and recognized Steve.
