What is this?

Chapter fourteen

Steve woke up smiling, feeling warm, blessed. For some time he just smiled and snuggled his pillow. He had been on a date with Tony. On top of that the date had ended up with them kissing. It was more than Steve could have asked for. Though he didn't still know what they were, but it didn't matter at that moment. After a while he was ready to get up, but a text made him stay in bed for a little longer.

"You coming to Bruce's today? -Natasha"

"? Is there something happening today? -Steve"

"Nah, we just hanging out. Tony's coming too -Natasha"

"You're coming -Bucky"

That last text still came from Natashas phone, but apparently those two were already at the same place. Of course Steve was gonna go, he was just a little anxious on how he should act around Tony.

"Good morning" Maria hummed entering Tony's room.

Tony growled, he really wasn't a morning-person.

"So, how did yesterday go?" Maria questioned sitting next to her son.

Oh, right, he had been on a date with Steve and KISSED him. The thought of that brought a smile on Tony's face.

"Considering that smile I'm guessing you had good time", Maria hinted.

"Yeah. The fair was amazing. And I really enjoyed my time with Steve", Tony admitted.

"Mm. Did you guys.. Kiss?" Maria grinned.

"Mother!" Tony raised his voice, then burying his face into his pillow: "We did."

Maria gave a warm laugh, patted Tony's head and went away. Tony was super glad he had Maria as his mother. But instead of laying on his bed, daydreaming, he had to get up and ready. Tony wasn't really sure how to be around Steve. Like if they just shouldn't care or if they should proceed slowly.

"Yo! Where the other losers are?" Clint saluted Bruce, Pietro right by his side.

"Not here yet", Bruce let the lovebirds in.

"Are you for real? We're the first here?" Clint exclaimed.

Bruce nodded. Clint pretty much threw himself on the couch, followed by Pietro sitting on his lap.

"Btw, have you kept in touch with Pepper? I mean you three were pretty close, right?" Clint asked.

"Hm? Oh, well yeah we've texted every now and then", Bruce admitted.

"Mm. How's she been doing?" Clint continued.

"Good, I guess. I think she's actually starting to regret what she did", Bruce guessed.

"Oh she should", Pietro stated.

"Well, yeah, she should", Clint nodded.

"Do you.. Do you think she's regretting THAT way?" Pietro hesitated.

"Well, that's what I'm afraid of. I feel like Tony is starting to get over the shock and to a better place, so we really don't need THAT happening", Bruce placed his head in his hands.

Pietro shook his head worriedly. Clint looked the two confused, about to ask what they meant, but the bell rang.

"Hey! Am I fashionably late?" Tony smiled.

"No, actually only Clint and Pietro are here", Bruce laughed.
