Polyamorous

Talking

Stepping out of the shower (Y/N) found Bucky standing there waiting for her with a towel. She smiled stepping towards him starting with her legs he works his way up his body leaving a trail of kisses as he went. she giggled as he finally got to her lips.

"Hey"

"Hi" she laughed

"How was your day?"

"Busy. I spent the morning in the infirmary seeing to a few agents nothing serious but there were a lot them. After lunch, I spent the day with Ash. She hasn't really decorated her room so I figure we'd do a bit of online shopping to spice it up. I'm thinking about taking her out this weekend to do a bit of shopping. She needs to get out of this tower at some point, Oh, maybe I'll invite Peter to come she'll be comfortable. Honestly, they're going to be a cute couple one day."

As (Y/n) talked on about her day and what she planned to do Bucky gently got her dress putting on her underwear and one of Steve's larger shirts.

"It looks like you had a very interesting day and are planning a very interesting weekend."

"What about you?" she asked pulling him down so they are both laying on the bed. She sits up on her elbow" tell me about your day"

"Okay, it wasn't very eventful."

"So, I still want to hear about it. Tell me about your boring day, please?"

"Alright um... Woke up way too early but you knew that."

"Yeah, I woke up alone in a cold bed."

"ha sorry. I went on a morning run with Steve, made breakfast with him. He had an early meeting, I had breakfast with you and Ash. Spent about two hours with Ash watching tv, she doesn't talk a lot."

"Neither does her father. Yeah, he uses to be a poet so good with his words but now he's all about action. But that's okay he's still beautiful even without his words."

"he sounds amazing," Bucky said smiling at her as she looks at him all dreamy.

"He really is." She giggled leaning over and kissing him. " He's one of a kind". He chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her down closer. "... And I haven't even mentioned his husband. Now he's got an Ass for days." Bucky howled with laughter at that one.

Hearing laughter Steve peeked around the corner into the room to see Bucky and (Y/n) cuddling with each other and whispering to each other. Watching them together a nasty feeling filled his chest. Steve sighed frustrated with his feelings as he turned away from them and went to the living room. Now Steve's feeling wasn't jealous, he had been feeling like this for a few days now and he had figured that out, he was feeling like a third wheel, left out, lonely, unwanted. He felt like he was no longer needed or necessary. Ash was here she was Bucky and (Y/n)'s daughter, they were taking care of her like her parents, which they were. Bucky and (Y/n) had each other and Ash. They didn't really need him, did they? By the looks of what was happening in the bedroom, they had forgotten about him anyways.

Steve jumped startled " Jesus Chris" as he looked up to find Ash standing over him "You nearly gave me a heart attack". The girl didn't say anything just continued to look down at her with a blank expression. "Um... Are you okay? Is there something you need?" she shakes her head and nods to him.

"Me?" she points to the hallway leading to the bedrooms.

"talk" she simples says then walks over towards the kitchen.

She was right Steve had a problem that didn't involve just him. Plus they agree to communicate and talk through the relationship work through their relationship. And right now he wasn't following through with that deal. Steve looked to Ash who grabbed a water bottle and was walking back towards her room. "How did you know?" looking back at him she simply shrugged and continued to her room without a word. That girl was definitely smarter than she let on.

Letting out a heavy sigh Steve stood up. He had let this thoughts spin around and sit in his head for too long now it was time to be an adult and talk about them with his wife and husband.

-

(Y/n) and Bucky was in a deep conversation about Steve when the man of the hour made an appearance. Though he didn't look too happy. " Hey, can we talk?" now worried Bucky and (Y/n) separated and made space in between them.

"Is something wrong?" (Y/n) asked as she pulled Steve away from the door and on the bed in between them.

" I just... I haven't been feeling well."

"Are you sick? Should we go to the med bay? I didn't-"

"(Y/n)" Bucky snapped her back into reality and out of the hole she was burying herself in. " Let him talk"

"I'm sorry. I'm just worried. Talk to us."

"First off I'm not sick. When I say I don't feel well I mean my feelings. Recently I've been feeling a really left out like the third wheel. Like I do not need or necessary."

"When did these feelings come up? Why"? Bucky asked as he pulled Steve into a hug.

"You, (Y/n), and Ash make a beautiful family," he confessed as he wrapped his arms around Bucky waist but he pushes him away before he could.

"I...What?"

Steve sighed pulling away " I see you two talking and taking care of Ash and I don't know how to do that or to connect with her but you guys are doing it perfectly. You guys are her parents. And then I saw you two before coming in and I just I guess I just felt left out."

(Y/n) leaned forward kissing Steve's cheek " would you like to know what we were talking about before you came in the room?"

"What made you laugh?" Steve asked

"You apparently, We were talking about your best features. She insists that it's your ass but I think it's your pecks. Although we both agree your lips are amazing. We haven't forgotten about you, Steve. You just seemed out of it so we were giving you space hoping you'd come to us when you were ready." Bucky said as he ran a hand through Steve's hair. The blonde closed his eyes and leaned into his touch.

"It was Ash. She saw me slumping in the living room and told me to 'talk' so I came to you."

"Ash is smarter than she looks. She can sense other's emotions although she doesn't fully understand emotions entirely. She's learning. Bruce thinks she got some updated serum or something. We haven't really looked into it." (Y/n) said as she rubbed Steve's shoulders " You should spend more time with her since you're feeling so left out of this family. Spend time with this family. "

Bucky agreed " I spent the morning with Ash, (Y/n) spends the afternoons with him, you should take nights. One on one with our daughter. You'll love it. She's amazing."

Steve sighed he had over thought this entire situation he had no one to blame but himself and his insecurities. Pulling and wrapping (Y/n)'s arms around his waist he leaned his head on Bucky's shoulders. He was so lucky to have them both sometime he thought himself unworthy or them just to good for him they truly were a gift to him and gifts he'd wake up and thank god for every morning. Even though he didn't deserve them they were his and they weren't going anywhere.

" God, I love you both. What have I done to deserve you?"

"Everything right my love." (Y/n) said kissing his neck " Except take a shower. Now go. Shower before bed."
