Next To Me // A Stucky Au

Chapter Sixteen

Thursdays had officially become the day where everyone visited the studio. Steve came after work, seeing as he ended slightly earlier on Thursdays, and it was also the day Peter came round. Sometimes even Laura came round on a Thursday if she could.

Today was a Thursday and Peter was going to be here soon, and, at Steve's suggestion, had invited his friends Ned and MJ to come with him. At that moment, a 16 year old guy, who Bucky pressumed was Ned, came hurtling through the door at top speed, almost as fast as Peter did on his first day. Peter followed him, and Nat and a girl who was probably MJ following them. Nat was talking to MJ, and it looked like she approved of the girl already.

"OH MY GOD!!!!!!" yelled Ned as he ran at full speed at everyone. "I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M FINALLY MEETING YOU GUYS!!!!!!!" He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and looked around at a,l the people around him, who were trying to decide whether to laugh or not. "I'm Ned Leeds, and I already know who all you are! You're Sam," he said pointing at them, "you're Clint, you're Peggy, and you're James!"

"Call me Bucky please," Bucky called out, smiling at the kid's slightly confused face before Ned just shrugged it off.

"And I'm Steve!" Steve yelled from his place on the couch, a drawing pad in his lap and an array of pens and pencils scattered out on the coffee table next to him. Ned just looked around at everyone in awe, like Christmas had come early. MJ and Peter just stood to one side, trying to hold back their laughter at Ned while Peter got out his drumming stuff.

"Sorry about him," Michelle said, walking across the room to Ned and looking around at everyone. "I'm Michelle," she continued, "My friends call me MJ. You can call me Michelle."

"I like her," Bucky heard Clint mutter to Nat, who had come to sit next to him, seeing what he had been doing. She then got up and walked over to Peter, ready to start.

Bucky didn't have much else to do at that moment (Peggy was doing her emails, and Sam and Clint were working together on their guitars) so he plopped down on the sofa next to Steve, who promptly stretched his legs across Bucky's lap, and invited Ned and Michelle to come and take the seats opposite him. Ned quickly hurried over, eager to talk, followed by Michelle, who, unlike Ned, seemed to have the ability to move at a walking pace.

"Can I please just tell you that you're amazing thank you so much," Ned said as soon as he sat down and Bucky laughed.

"Well I try my best!" He replied, and after that the three of them fell into an easy conversation, and Bucky found himself stealing glances at Steve every now and then, who clearly wasn't listening to a word of what they were saying. He was completely wrapped up in his drawing, probably working on whatever commission he'd been given, and Bucky found it adorable, how concentrated and into his work he was.

After they'd been talking a while, Steve finally put his drawing down (unfortunately Bucky didn't get to see it) and asked, "Hey, Buck, do you mind passing me my laptop?"

"Sure thing, Stevie doll," Bucky replied, leaning over to get it and passing it to Steve, and then continuing his conversation with Ned and MJ like nothing had happened. Michelle didn't look phased, but Ned looked more then slightly confused. He turned and whispered something that Bucky didn't catch she replyed 'well duh' and then they continued like normal.

That was until Bucky heard Steve gasp from across the sofa. "OH MY GOD I'VE GOT AN E-MAIL FROM PEPPER POTTS!" He yelled suddenly, and Bucky flopped over the sofa across to him to try and see the screen.

"OH MY GOD YOU HAVE!" He yelled back, skimming his eyes down the long e-mail, trying to look for the important details. Pepper Potts was one of the world's best movie directors, if not, the best. She did all the five star, high budget movies, often earning millions more then she'd spent.

"It says here that she's doing a movie that focuses on employing people with a brilliant talent, but are quite new to the business and haven't yet had the opportunity to work at that high level of job, but are perfectly capable to do so. It also says I'M DOING SOME OF THE CONCEPT ART!! Holy shit, I'm doing the concept art in a Pepper Potts movie, Jesus fucking Christ." He started scrolling down, eager to figure out more. "It also says that It's set in space, so it's going to be freaking epic that I get to draw aliens, oh, and Tony Stark's in this movie, surprise surprise."

Tony Stark was Pepper Potts' boyfriend, and got a role in nearly every of her movies. He was one of the highest earning actors and if you were in a movie with him you knew that you were good. Bucky saw from leaning over Steve's shoulder that he wasn't doing the lead role in this movie, however.

Everyone was still staring at Steve, waiting to get more details. Apart from Peggy. She was staring at her own laptop, with a smirk on her face. "Guess what?" She said to them, smiling as if she knew everything. Everyone looked over at her, but no one said a word. "We've just got an e-mail from Pepper Potts." At this the entire room flipped out, (including Ned, Peter and MJ) and everyone yelled exitedly about how they'd all be making a movie together, a Pepper Potts movie no less.

At last, Peggy yelled over the top of them, "I haven't even told you what the e-mail is about yet." This got everyone to calm down slightly, and look over at Peggy expectantly. "It says we're writing two songs to go with the movie!" They all started yelling happily, and talking among themselves again.

Bucky turned to Steve, who he was practically lying next to on the sofa at this point. He wrapped his arms around him, pulling him even closer and kissing him on top of the head (he wished he could kiss him on the lips, but he couldn't reach from where he was say, and he didn't want to make it awkward for the kids), before releasing him again and saying exitedly, "we're working on a movie together, Stevie!"

"Yes we are," Steve replied, laughing, as he pulled Bucky back into a hug, his eyes full of adoration.

They were working on a movie together!
