jealous steve. (stucky)

jealous steve.
ever since steve had retired and gave the shield to sam, he couldn't be around bucky as much. he didn't think it would affect him as much, he thought he would get to enjoy life, but he discovered that he didn't want to do that alone.
bucky and sam were always together. they went from hating each other to liking each other almost instantly. steve was glad two of the most important people in his life were FINALLY getting along, but he didn't expect them to never want to be around him.
they were on missions all the time. and today, sam was coming over to have dinner with bucky and steve.
steve cooked a simple meal that was sitting on the table when they got there. he felt like a housewife, but chose not to say anything as he watched them.
they all sat down and steve asked, "how'd the mission go?"
"it was great," sam replied immediately.
bucky smiled at steve, and bumped their knees together lightly. "wish you didn't retire. it was a good time today."
steve shrugged. "i thought it was the best-"
sam cut him off, whether on purpose or accident, steve didn't know. "bucky! tell him what we finally tried today!"
bucky grinned and swallowed his food. then looked at steve. "there were these guys all over the ground. so, sam just picked me up and flew with me while i shot them." steve chuckled lightly and nodded, then took another bite of food.
sam laughed, "i thought about just dropping you, buck."
buck? steve tightened his grip on his fork, the sides digging into his hand. since when did anyone but him call bucky 'buck'?
no one noticed his sudden anger, though. the two just kept talking and laughing. they didn't notice steve's silence.
"and then the birds just chased us," bucky guffawed.
"i have to go to the bathroom," steve stood up and went without waiting for their response. they probably didn't even hear him.
they really had the nerve to flirt right in front of him! he had never been worried about bucky finding someone else before. never. he always trusted bucky. but it turns out, sometimes you can't.
bucky was obviously happy with sam. he could hear them talking right now. and maybe it wasn't always missions that they were on, maybe they just stayed together. maybe they had s-
steve shook his head. "no. no. bucky wouldn't do that."
but maybe he would.
he flushed the toilet and walked back out to the table. sam was gone, and the dishes were in the sink now.
"you alright, steve?"
"where's sam?" steve looked at the empty table.
he could see bucky point at the door. "said he had to go home, i'm not sure."
steve couldn't help it. he rolled his eyes and muttered, "and you didn't go with him?"
"why would i go with him?"
steve looked back up at bucky. "because you'd rather be with sam than me any other time?"
"what the fuck are you talking about?!"
"the fact that it probably isn't always missions that you guys are on. how am i supposed to know if you guys aren't together doing... other things?"
"you think i'm having sex with that asshole?!" bucky threw his hands up.
steve crossed his arms. bucky was trying to make steve sound like the stupid one, but he wasn't dumb. he never had been. "well, i do find it odd that you guys suddenly started getting along and now you're always around each other."
"no, steve. that's YOUR fault! i tried to get along with him for your sake because he was YOUR friend. now we are semi-friends, but i wouldn't have ever tried to be nice to him if you hadn't wanted that because i don't fucking care! and YOU'RE the one that retired. YOU'RE the one who gave the shield to sam, who made sam the new captain america, who made sam my new partner. i TOLD you i wasn't ready to retire yet. i have to help people for a while before i ever think of stopping. not a lot of people are going to want to take my place, especially not with the name that comes with it."
steve let his arms fall to his sides. bucky never yelled like that. and god, it was hot. "so, you guys don't do anything? it's just missions?"
bucky stepped closer to him. "it's just missions. and ask any of the rest of them, i'm always trying to hurry so i can get home. so i can get back to you. it's always you, stevie. why would you think i would do something to risk losing you?"
steve hugged him, bending down so he could lay his head on bucky's chest like they used to do. before the world changed entirely. "i was scared, buck. you guys were getting close, and i was always home alone. and i just... after he called you buck, i was scared he was trying to take you away from me, too. i gave him captain america, but i couldn't give him steve rogers, too.
bucky kissed the side of his head. "he only calls me buck because he accidentally did once. i told him to shut up, and that only you can call me that, which just encouraged him to do it more. i can really have him stop though, if you don't like it."
steve stood back up. "i'm sorry for getting jealous."
bucky smirked, pulling him in for a real kiss. "it's okay. i figured something was up after you went to the bathroom. i saw the death grip on your fork, just didn't realize it was because of me. besides, it was kind of hot."
steve pushed bucky against the counter, their foreheads together, noses touching. "you know, it was hot when you yelled at me."
bucky pulled steve's shirt off, and i really don't need to explain what happened next. what i do have to say though is that bucky made steve realize it was only him being treated like this.
