————Tony slipped past Steve as soon as the door was open, before Steve could block the way. "Come on, Cap, you've been hiding your buddy long enough. Time for him to start meeting people, and - who better than me?"
"Almost anyone," Steve muttered, but Tony just ignored him rolling his eyes dramatically There was no one else in the living room, so Tony headed toward the back of the tower. "Tony, wait." Steve dodged past Tony and blocked the path to the hallway. "You can't just barge in! He's still pretty... jumpy. I need to prepare him if he's going to have visitors, and you're..."
Tony grinned as Steve struggled for a word. "Abrasive?" he suggested. "Best thing, you know. Handle them like kids and they worry they're going to break you. If there's an elephant in the room, you might as well invite it to stay and have a drink. Elephants are pretty cool, really. Did you know they throw homecoming parties for their friends when one's been away for a while?"
With Tony's constant rambling Steve's head tilted slightly and stared at his friends with utter confusion.
"What the hell are you talking about, Tony?"
Tony tried to duck under Steve's arm, but Steve caught him and pushed him back. "Seriously, what's the worst that could happen?"
"Worst that—" Steve stared at him in frustrated amazement. "He could punch your lights out, for a start."
Tony waved a hand dismissively. "Not that bad, honestly. Better me than one of the others, right?" He grinned up into Steve's frown. "Tell me you wouldn't love to see me get punched."
"What? No, Tony! I don't want to see anyone get hurt! That's the point!"
Tony patted Steve's arm. It was a little like patting a rock. "That's why you're Captain America," he said fondly. "Come on, get your boyfriend out here. No time like the present."
"He's not my boyfr—" Steve broke off as the door at the end of the hall opened. He twisted to look, and Tony leaned to look around him, and spotted a head peering around the cracked door.
"What's going on?"
Tony took advantage of Steve's momentary distraction to slip past him and down the hall, hand extended. "You must be Barnes! Good to finally meet you. Anthony Stark, but you can call me— wow you're hot." He stumbled to a halt as Barnes stepped out of the room and the hall light fell on his face.
Barnes took Tony's hand. His grip was firm and warm and— did it linger, just a bit? "Pleased ta meetcha, Mr. Wow You're Hot," he said, his lips curving in a smirk that only made him hotter.
"Bucky," Steve protested from behind Tony, a small pout on his lips making him look childish.
Tony recovered and grinned back. "Not nearly as pleased as you're going to be."
"Tony." Steve hissed ,
Barnes looked at Steve over Tony's shoulder, smirk still firmly in place. "Anyone who makes you teach like that is okay by my books. You should bring this one around more often, Stevie."
Tony turned just in time to see Steve throw up his hands in despair. "I give up," he muttered, turning to stalk back into the living room once realising the outcome was inevitable. "The two of you deserve each other." He said before stalking out.
" so mr Wow your hot- what do you like to do for fun."
"Well," Tony began taking a step forward and looking right into Bucky's icy blue eyes " I'd like to do you."
——
Steve watched from behind the door frame, watching his two best friends flirt shamelessly in the hallway.
" whatcha doing?"
Steve jumped and span round, seeing Clint standing there with a mouth full of popcorn and an amused expression on his face. Throwing his hand over his heart as the archer just leant forward to see what the 'old man' was looking at.
" awe- they're adorable." He cooed at the pair. " we can call them buny,"
Steve gave him the 'eyebrows' before turning back to the pair. Their was one thing the archer was right about - they were adorable.
"Buny?"
"Yeah" Clint replied almost immediately, " it's both of their names put together ... you know - tony and Bucky...."
Steve glances back over to the archer stuffing his face with his popcorn, with a perplexed expression on his face.
Why were his friends so weird?
