Falling In Love With The Billionaire's Son

Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Steve's ride home was filled with an uncomfortable silence. His uncle, normally very talkative, didn't say a word. He could see that his nephew was in a bad mood so he left it alone.

Steve didn't want to say anything. He was beginning to feel quite guilty for chewing out Tony without listening to the whole story. What if Clint didn't know what he saw? Maybe it wasn't Tony.

Though he never denied kissing Bruce.

Steve was seriously hurting by the time they reached the house, emotionally and physically. He nursed his bleeding nose and thought some more.

Bruce shouldn't have lost his temper, but Steve shouldn't have either.

He found himself dialing his boyfriend.

What was he going to say?

He hung up before Tony had the chance to answer.

Before Maria returned, Tony tried to make up a lie to cover for his best friend, but Bruce just shook his head.

"Miss Hill, Bruce Banner beat up Steve Rogers." Phil stated plainly when she approached the classes. Tony scoffed, "Teacher's pet."

Maria looked at Bruce, then around the area. "Where's Steven now?"

"He went home, ma'am." Phil replied, glaring at Bruce.

"Mr. Banner, you will be paying a visit to the principal's office when we return to the school." She ordered sternly.

"Yes ma'am." Bruce replied, once again his usual calm and collected self.

"We're returning to the school now." Ms. Hill motioned for the students to follow her, and they did.

"Hey, what'd we miss?" Thor asked breathlessly. Darcy stood next to him, breathing heavily as well.

"What were you two doing?" Clint responded.

"Running here." Darcy said quickly.

"Uh, yeah. I guess you missed something kind of... important." Clint said nervously.

"*Kind* of important? Yeah, just a little." Thor said with wide eyes when Clint finished his story and all the buses pulled into the school parking lot.

"Yeah, and it was all my fault." Clint muttered.

"Hey, come on bro, it wasn't your fault. Steve would've found out sooner or later, I think it's probably better that he found out now so Tony won't do anything more with Bruce." Darcy said reassuringly.

"Thanks." Clint replied, but he didn't sound convinced. "Off of that topic, did something happen with you two that I don't know about?"

"What? Pssh, no." Thor denied.

"Yeah, we're dating now." Darcy beamed, ignoring Thor's comment.

"I'm insulted, my best friend lied to my face." Clint shook his head.

"Yeah, we're dating." Thor agreed.

"Okay, what about Loki? I'm confused." Clint asked.

"Oh, that was all a ruse to get Thor to realize that he liked me." Darcy said.

"Okay," Clint nodded slowly. "I'm happy for you, man."

"Thanks!" Thor grinned. "I even came up with a nickname for Darcy. I got the idea from Tony an-" Thor stopped.
