What we are

The next morning I woke up on the sofa to the smell of bacon and Steve gently shaking my shoulder. "Hey Y/N, time to wake up now" he said taking a seat next to me. "What time is it" I groaned and sat up, grabbing and eating the bacon he brought. "It's 9:00 am" he said, as if 9 am is late. I gave him a look of pure confusion "9 am is super early dude. Is there an actual reason you woke me up. He looked down at his feet for a moment, contemplating what he should say. "Well, I think I like you Y/N. Like, like like you" he finally said, he locked eyes with me again "will you do me the honour of going on a date with me?" he seemed really nervous, like he wasn't the nicest, hottest man in the world. It didn't take me too long to answer "Steve, your like the nicest man in the world, of course I will go on a date with you" I couldn't stop smiling and pulled him into a hug. He hugged me back, but all the smiling stoped when Tony made his presence known, "ahem, sorry to break this moment up, but can I see you in my office" he looked at me and I nodded. He left and I looked back at Steve, "sorry, duty calls, come find me when you want that date" he nodded and I left to venture off to Tony's office.

I got to his office door and knocked "come in" he called. I opened the door and found him sitting in a spiny chair, looking out at New York. He turned around and made eye contact before looking at his feet. "You saw?" I asked, he nodded and looked up briefly, then looking back down he said "I guess I know what we are." He said it with tears building up in his eyes. I didn't know that the pain tie was emotional too, I could feel a pain building up in my chest. A lone tear fell down his cheek but he quickly wiped it away. "You have your own office/ desk thingy outside. You know what your job is right? Answer calls and manage my meetings" I nodded "alright then, go set up your desk or something" I rolled my eyes and left the room. I saw Bucky there with his loving smile that I adored, "hey Bucky" you smiled back. "Hey Y/N, how have you been?" He asked. "Really good actually, to what do I owe the pleasure" I sat down at the spiny chair behind my desk and started spinning while Bucky took a seat in the normal chair opposite me. "Just seeing if you needed anything" he was far nicer than I had expected him to be, considering his past. "That's my job now, do you need anything" I stoped spinning and started to unpack my box of things I gave Tony to put in my office. "Well I'm bored and need something to do so, do you need any help?" I'm starting to think he can be a little persistent, but I gave in as he would help me even if I said no, "well there's nothing for you to do right now but you can sit around and wait if you are really that bored" he nodded and moved to sit on the desk. I placed things around and when I finally sat down, the phone ringed. "Hello this is Tony Stark's assistant, how can I help?" I said, my voice was always different when I was on the phone, I always sounded happy if I hadn't just woken up. "I need to talk to Tony NOW" a voice boomed from the other side. I winced a little at the sudden volume "who is calling may I ask?" I tried to not pay Bucky any attention as he was trying to make me laugh. "I am Thor, god of thunder, prince of Asgard, son of Odin" he was practically shouting his voice was so loud. There is a fine line between projection and just plain shouting "please hold" I said and put the phone down while I want to go talk to Tony. I knocked on the door and he said come in. I took a step in "there is a rather loud man on the phone that wants to talk to you, said his name is thor, god of thunder, bla bla bla" I tried to seam professional but I couldn't be bothered to listen to the man on the phones rambling. "Put him through" Tony said. I walked back to my desk and sent the call through to his office.

Later that day, Tony went to the lab to work on something that I can't remember what it was. Bucky had left to go do something so it was just me and Tony. "Take the rest of the day off if you want, or go find something else to do, I'm good here" he shrugged. I nodded and walk straight into what felt like a wall. I took a few steps back and saw that what I actually bumped into was Steve. I smiled at him awkwardly "oh hey Y/N, I was just coming to find you, how about that date now?" he asked. I looked over at Tony through his open lab door. He seemed hart broken but soldiered on with his work. I looked back at Steve and nodded "what do you have in mind" I asked, to which he responded "probably just some coffee, maybe a movie when we get back" I took his hand and we made our way to a cafe down the road. When we got there it was quite quiet, but the few people in there knew who steve was immediately. "Hi, c-can I g-get you any thing?" The lady behind the counter asked. "Yeah, I'll have a flat white please" he looked down and tried to not show his face but it looked quite hard. "And for the lady?" she asked, seeming to be calming down a bit, "same" I said. We got our drinks and sat down away from the window. We had a nice conversation and left for the tower again. We held hands and joked all the back home. When we got back, we sat down and watched an abundance of Disney movies. After we finished that, I spent my first night in my room and slept wonderfully.
