Narrator's POV

"Wizard." Thor said, sitting up from Stephen's bed as Stephen read a book at the foot of the bed. Tony and Bruce had gone to class, so Stephen and Thor decided to keep each other company.

"Yes?" Stephen looked up from his book.

"How did you and Tony know you liked each other?" He asked.

A small smile spread across Stephen's lips. His face grew soft. "We didn't. It just kind of happened."

"Who made the first move?" Thor asked.

Stephen smiled, a blush settled on his cheeks. "Tony."

"Haha! So that's how he established dominance." Thor said.

Stephen looked up at him. "Why the sudden interest, Thor?"

"I don't know..." Thor fell back in the bed and stared at the ceiling. He grabbed a small screw and threw it up and caught it. He continued doing that while he talked. "I've seen the stars, and Bruce Banner is more beautiful than them all. I love his perfect face, and genuine, gentle heart. I would do anything to protect him. He deserves more than I can offer."

Stephen smiled. "That's really sweet Thor."

"Yeah, but if you tell anyone I will crush you like a grape."

"Hey." Stephen put his hands up. "You have my word."

"Knock. Knock." Came Tony's voice at the doorway.

"Tony." Stephen smiled at him.

"Hi." Tony said, going over to Stephen and giving him a quick peck on the lips. "How was your day?"

Bruce stood behind him, looking through his bag. "Tony I cant't find-"

"Banner!" Thor bolted toward Bruce.

"Thor wait!" Bruce dropped his bag.

Thor tackled Bruce on the floor. The two crashed against each other, landing hard on the floor.

Thor picked his head up, laughing a little. He looked at Bruce under him. "How was your day?" He smiled at him.

"It was nothing. Sometimes, I feel like Bruce and I are the only ones who know anything in that class...." Tony trailed on about his day as Stephen listened.

Stephen noticed Thor and Bruce laughing on the floor. He smiled at the two.

"Did you know once emperor penguins find a mate, they stay with them for life?" Steve told everyone as he sat on one of the couches in the student lounge of the dorm, watching the nature channel on the  television.

"Oh shut up, Steve." Bucky said, chalking the tip of a pool cue he had in his hand.

"How did you manage to get that in?" Clint asked Everett as Everett had just gotten the eight ball into one of the holes.

"Well, I used to play a lot with Tim." Everett said. He quickly looked up and over to Stephen. "Sorry, Stephen." He apologized.

"It's all right." Stephen said. "My heart and mind have learned to come to peace with it."

"What exactly did Timothy do to you, Stephen?" Steve asked.

"Steve." T'challa said.

Everyone looked at Steve, then at Stephen.

"Hey, it's all fine. It's fine." Stephen said. He looked at Steve and smiled. "I would rather not talk about it at the moment."

"Sorry." Steve apologized.

"So they bring their mate a rock as a gift?" Tony asked.

"Yeah." Steve said, looking down a small pocket knife in hand. He smiled. "Hey Tony, just between us...I need your help."

"History or physics?" Tony asked.

"Neither." Steve said.

"Then, how may we help you?" Tony asked.

"I need a pick up line." Steve said.

"Ooooooo, who's the lucky girl?" Tony asked, leaning forward to Steve.

Steve looked up at the group of guys and looked at Bucky.

"Ooooh. I see." Tony thought for a minute. "I got it."

"Haha!" T'challa cheered as he got the seven ball in.

"That was a lucky shot." Bucky said.

"Hey, guys." Steve said, walking up to the group at the pool table.

"Hey." Everett greeted him.

"Got room for one more?" Steve asked.

"Nope. Gotta wait till the next game." Clint said.

"Here. You can take my turn." Bucky handed Steve his cue. "I recommend going for the five ball. It'll bounce off the two and hit three and six. You'll get at least three balls in."

"Bucky, what the hell?" Everett said.

"Don't worry guys. I'm not very good at this game." Steve said. He pulled the cue back and hit the five ball too hard, making it fly out of the table.

"You weren't kidding." Clint said.

Bucky put a hand on Steve's shoulder. "It's alright. This game is kinda hard to get."

"Did it hurt?" Steve asked.

"Hm?" Bucky looked at him.

Everett and T'challa looked at them.

Steve put a hand on Bucky's shoulder and smiled at him. "When you fell from heaven? Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" He asked.

Bucky look at Steve's arm, then at Steve. His cheeks slowly started turning red.

T'challa and Everett stared with their mouths open. Clint raised a brow.

Bucky put a hand over Steve's and pulled it off his shoulder. He cleared his throat and coughed. His cheeks were still red. He looked up at everyone in the lounge. "God!" He shouted. Everyone turned to him. "Is there anyone in this fucking dorm that isn't gay?" He looked around at everyone.

Thor raised his hand, but Bruce took it, intertwined their fingers and slowly lowered his hand.

Bucky looked at Steve. "You are such a dork."

"Wha-" Steve looked at him.

"If you're gonna flirt with me, pick a less stupid pick up line." Bucky said, chalking his cue.

Everyone looked at Steve, who was blushing. "Oh." He rubbed the back of his head. "I didn't know that's how that worked." He laughed a little.

"Jesus." Bucky shook his head as he aimed for the six ball.
