Chapter 14
The gate to Tony’s house opened as they approached, and they walked up the driveway towards the front door. Tony was waiting by the front door for them grinning and questioned “where was my invite to your little party”
From the way Tony was grinning, he guessed he was just happy he wasn’t alone anymore and didn’t seem to overly care that he had only just joined their ever-growing group of people. Natasha shrugged “I was under the impression you didn’t want to be my fashion adviser”
Tony groaned “that doesn’t mean I want to be left out”
Natasha waved her arm and stated “make up your mind”
Tony just huffed and he smirked “what happened to Stephen”
He watched out of the corner of his eye as Loki began smirking too. Tony glared at him as he replied “I don’t know I left when he was sleeping needed to get coffee”
Loki chuckled “knowing Stephen he could still be asleep; I’ll invite him to join us”
He didn’t miss the small smile that flickered over Tony’s face. If he had to guess Tony had texted him and he hadn’t responded. Natasha announced “Clint and Pietro said they’re joining us shortly”
Tony just laughed “why did I set a time for pre-drinks if you are all going to be here all day anyway”
Everyone just shrugged and Tony grinned “well come on in”
Tony let them inside. As they all walked inside, Sam mumbled “this makes my house look like something a hobo would live in”
Whilst he agreed with that, he couldn’t help but remember how Loki’s house was. Sam’s house was nice though. Despite not being a stature of wealth, he could always feel at home there. It just had a nice feeling of being a home well lived in. Both Tony and Loki’s didn’t exactly have that. He smirked “word of advice, don’t go to Loki’s then”
Loki gave a sly smile and Tony smiled “who’d have thought you had a home, I just assumed you always slept on Stephen’s couch”
Loki grinned ‘no I usually sleep in the guest bedroom”
They all laughed at that, and Tony led them into a lounge room downstairs and gestured for everyone to put their bags in a corner. Some of the alcohol was sitting against the wall and he could see a fridge nearby where he guessed the rest of the alcohol was. He just flopped down on the couch. Natasha just added her bottle of vodka to the collection of bottles. Sam sat down beside him and announced “anybody feel as though one of us is going to die tonight”
He smiled because yeah if they tried drinking all this alcohol, he was pretty confident they would all be dead. Tony laughed “come on Wilson surely you know your boundaries”
Sam smirked “oh come on Stark, of course I do, I was more worried about you”
He decided to get involved and joked “yeah Stark how many times have you had to get your stomach pumped”
He knew Tony never had or at least never had and shared the information because as much as Tony loved to have a good party, he was positive the other boy likely knew his limits. Tony laughed “I’d be quiet if I was you Humpty”
He sent Tony a glare. There was no way he wanted Tony sharing what had happened the night before. He didn’t exactly want to deal with that embarrassment. Having Tony knowing was more than enough. So, he decided to throw one of the pillows beside him at Tony’s head and glared “I swear to god Stark”
Tony immediately burst into laughter and Sam raised an eyebrow. Natasha smirked “Tones what are you holding over him”
Before Tony could say anything, he stated “nothing, nothing at all”
He sent a glare to Tony who sarcastically agreed “yeah it’s nothing, totally nothing”
He just groaned into the couch as everyone else laughed. Sam smirked “well this sounds promising do tell me”
He glared at both Tony and Sam and stated “nobody is telling anyone anything unless you all want to end up in a ditch somewhere”
Tony put a hand to his heart whilst Sam laughed “you wouldn’t dare, then you would have to go to this party alone”
Fuck Sam and him knowing the only reason he was going to this party was for him. If Sam wasn’t going, he definitely wouldn’t be. Loki laughed “that is your reasoning behind him refraining from killing us and not the fact he would be instantly killed by Nat’s family, and that’s if he even managed to kill her which is unlikely”
He chuckled as Natasha stated “to be fair if anyone was going to succeed in murdering me it would be him”
They all laughed as Natasha continued “but it is very improbable”
Shaking his head, he laughed “oh come on have faith”
Tony smirked “I have faith that you would end up being killed before you got anywhere close to murdering Nat”
They were probably right. Not that he could ever want to murder Natasha. Sam laughed “yeah you could murder the rest of us except maybe Loki, I think he could escape”
Loki grinned “of course I could escape”
He wholeheartedly believed Loki could probably manage to get out of being murdered. He was sly and it seemed like the sort of thing Loki would be good at avoiding. He smirked “so really I’m just killing the two that are annoying me, it’s not really a problem”
Loki shrugged “if that is the case I could probably help, Nat you in”
Natasha grinned “of course”
Tony mumbled “Nat your supposed to be on my side, we’ve been friends the longest”
Natasha just grinned and Sam groaned “I think we’re being ganged up on”
They definitely were. And at least he had managed to get them all to forget about the embarrassing story from the night before that Tony was holding over his head. Although if the smirk directed his way from Loki was anything to go by, he hadn’t forgotten and was curious. His phone buzzed distracting him from the conversation. He looked down to a message from Steve that was just a list of alcohol. Another message came through which read ‘just drop it all off at Quentin’s’
Did Steve really expect him to go out and buy alcohol. And how exactly did he expect him to pay. He just decided to send back ‘no not happening, get someone else to get it”
Steve started calling him and so he just excused himself from the room to go answer. Everyone just nodded as he made his way away from the lounge room and headed into the kitchen where he had been the other night. He answered and immediately Steve shouted “what the actual fuck, so you will buy alcohol for everyone but your boyfriend”
He just sat down on one of the stools as he rolled his eyes. He got Steve alcohol all the time. Whenever he asked, he normally got it for him and never made Steve pay him a cent. They were together after all. But he wasn’t buying alcohol for all Steve’s friends. Plus, he had no money to do it with and doubted they would pay him. He replied “Stevie don’t you have a bottle of tequila from last time I got you some”
Steve grumbled “no I drank that on Monday with Sharon, we need you to buy us alcohol, no one else can”
Great so Steve had drunk the tequila whilst cheating on him. That just made him feel so good about himself. He stated “sorry Steve, I’m already at Tony’s plus I have no money”
There was a loud crash on the other side and Steve growled “you shouldn’t need money just get the Klaue’s to give it to you, also I thought I told you I didn’t want you going to Tony’s”
He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. Why did Steve think he would even want to be in that much debt to the Klaue’s even if he was right and the likely would just give it to him. And he had already told Steve he was going to Tony’s anyway so why couldn’t Steve just accept that. It wasn’t like Steve didn’t go to people’s houses all the time and he never had an issue with that. So why did Steve have such an issue with this. Yes, Steve and Tony hated each other but that shouldn’t affect who he could hang out with. He stated “and I told you I was going; I don’t see the issue”
Steve informed “the issue is you spending your entire day with the most annoying kid in school who will undoubtedly try to turn you against me, Stark is not to be trusted, I don’t know why you suddenly decided to befriend him, but I know it’s going to end badly, he will end up ruining our lives”
He honestly couldn’t see that Tony was anything like how Steve saw him. Unlike what Steve seemed to think Tony was actually a really nice person even if that wasn’t how he projected himself. He replied “Steve he’s my friend, he’s not trying to ruin anything”
Steve spat “or at least that what he’s got you believing, if you weren’t hanging out with him you would be able to buy us the alcohol”
Is this all Steve wanted? The fucking alcohol. He muttered “look just get someone else to buy the alcohol, doesn’t Quentin have a brother whose over twenty-one”
Steve replied “yeah but he can’t get it for free”
He sighed “so use the money you took from me to pay for it”
Steve grumbled “I don’t have any of that left are you stupid, there was shit all in the first place, barely paid for our business project”
So that’s why Steve had taken it in the first place. He wondered how it had barely paid for it considering there was definitely at least three hundred in their and you could only spend a hundred on the assignment. Plus, he had taken more money that morning granted it wasn’t much, but it was still something. Maybe he was stupid, but he couldn’t work out why Steve wouldn’t have had any left. He stated “what and none of your friends have money to pay for their own alcohol”
Steve growled “what and you’re just going to berate on my friends because they aren’t rich like all your new friends”
None of Steve’s friends were all that poor. Sharon came from a family with money as did both Quentin and Walker. And from what he knew Lemar wasn’t all that poor either. He stated “don’t try that shit on me, I know they all got money”
Steve spat “yeah but not like Stark or Odinson or the Udaku’s”
Whilst Steve was right, his friends didn’t have that kind of money, but they still had money and weren’t anywhere near as poor as people like him and Steve or the Wilson’s. He replied “that doesn’t make them poor, they still have money”
Steve responded “just go buy the alcohol for us alright”
Was Steve still under the impression he was buying it. He stated ‘get it yourself because I’m not”
Steve growled “yes you will, if you are going to spend your entire day with Stark and his cronies you will get me that alcohol”
That made very little sense to him. How did him choosing to spend his day with friends mean he should have to buy Steve and his friends’ alcohol? Before he could reply, the noise of a door sliding open distracted him and he spun around to see Clint and Pietro sneaking into the door. Clint holding a bag that he guessed had clothes in it and Pietro swinging a baguette around like it was a sword. He raised an eyebrow at them as he stated “no I won’t”
He just chuckled as Pietro hit Clint in the head. He asked “what’s with the bread”
Pietro smirked “well I was hungry and asked him to buy me some food, he came back with this, I’m not complaining though”
Clint had a sly gin on his face. He just shook his head as he laughed. Steve yelled “who the fuck are you talking to, we are in the middle of a conversation”
There conversation hadn’t been anything exciting and had really just consisted of Steve being annoyed with him. So, who could blame him for wanting to have a conversation with people who weren’t just being rude towards him? He replied “Jesus calm down would you”
Clint and Pietro both raised their eyebrows and Cint signed ‘who is it, everything alright’
He nodded at him and signed ‘just Steve’
Steve growled “it would be a lot easier for me to calm down if you weren’t so goddamn annoying, you are a terrible boyfriend, why are you never on my side and do nothing for me”
He did shit for Steve all the time and literally agreed with him about most things for the sole reason they were boyfriends so it kind of hurt hearing that. But he was also sure Steve would apologise when he calmed down and realised, he was in fact the one in the wrong here. Clint signed ‘did you find out why he decided to block us’
He just shook his head and decided he was going to ask about it. So, he stated “why exactly did you decide to block half my contacts”
There was a short pause before Steve replied “because those people are no good for you, you shouldn’t be talking to them, and they shouldn’t be talking to you”
Since when did Steve have a problem with Sam. Everyone else he figured Steve didn’t like but he was friends with Sam. Or at least he had been. He guessed they likely wouldn’t be for much longer if Steve continued acting like this. He stated “well that’s kind of my choice, don’t you think”
He gestured to the lounge room and signed “everyone’s in the lounge room’
Clint nodded and sighed ‘thanks, good luck with Steve’
He just smiled as Clint pulled Pietro towards the lounge room. Pietro just waved goodbye with the baguette. Steve growled “since when did you even make good choices, do you seriously think I would just let my boyfriend associate with scum”
He sure associated with better people than Steve associated with. And he never once tried to stop who Steve was hanging out with. For fucks sake he still just let Steve hang out with Sharon even though he had cheated on him with her because he trusted him. Surely Steve could give him the same courtesy. He stated “I never tell you who to hang out with”
Steve scoffed “yeah because I actually have a brain and don’t chose to hang out with the worst people in society”
Steve was wrong. His friends were literally the absolute worst, but he wasn’t going to point that out. It would be no use to either of them for him to point out just how shit Steve’s friends were. Plus, he wasn’t trying to stop Steve from having friends even if they sucked. He sighed “alright”
Steve replied “just tell Stark you have worked out he’s an asshole and come to Quentin’s, we can come with you to get the alcohol”
There was no way he was going to tell Tony that. Especially not when he wasn’t an asshole. Nor was he going to leave or go get Steve alcohol. He stated “no, I’m staying here and I’m not getting you alcohol, I’ve already told you that”
Steve shouted “what the fuck why the hell not”
Had he not already been over this. He stated “have you not been paying attention at all throughout this call”
Steve sneered “of course I have, you just keep being stupid”
He was over this conversation, and it seemed Steve didn’t have much else to say so he stated “okay Steve I’m going to go now, I’ll see you tonight at Nebula’s”
Steve didn’t respond and just immediately hung up instead. He just sighed and shoved his phone back in his pocket as he walked back into the lounge room. The second he got in there a ball came flying towards him. He easily dodged it letting it hit the wall behind him. Everyone was laughing as Clint was looking embarrassed. If Natasha’s smug look was anything to go by, he guessed she had likely just shared something pretty embarrassing about her best friend. He grinned “what did I miss”
Pietro who was still laughing his ass off explained “Clint going on a date with Darcy”
Clint groaned “I was eleven and trying to convince myself I liked girls”
He laughed glad that he had never bothered to do such a thing. He always knew he had loved Steve in a way that went beyond friendship and there was no denying it. Clint continued “I remember Tony doing the exact same thing with Pepper”
It was Tony’s turn to flush red as he glared “hey for all you know I could be bi”
Pietro chuckled “I love how you both just outed yourselves, to the two that didn’t know”
He grinned at how Pietro was clearly referring to Sam and Loki and left him out since clearly, he knew. Loki chuckled “you think we didn’t know, come on we have all seen the way you and Clint stare at each other, and Tony well he’s a complete disaster”
Pietro looked shocked and Tony stated “I refuse to be referred to as a disaster”
Natasha smirked “well you are especially around you know who”
Tony groaned as the rest of them grinned. Loki shrugged “it’s not like I am one to judge for your sexuality, we have all seen my best friend”
He chuckled “don’t act like we haven’t noticed you”
Loki just laughed and Tony grinned “yeah no straight man is that fashionable”
Natasha smirked “if we were basing sexuality on fashion sense, I believe Clint and Pietro would both go back to being straight”
Sam smirked “at least Bucky would continue to be the gayest guy in school”
He laughed and Natasha stated “he’d have to get a new boyfriend though; Steve has no clue about fashion”
Natasha wasn’t wrong Steve’s idea of fashion was lacking to say the least. And he swore every time Steve went shopping, he picked out the worst clothes. Which is why they normally went together so he could give Steve some ideas and nudge him in the right direction. He laughed “you lot do know more than half the clothes I wear are his”
Loki waved off that comment and stated “yes but you put them together right”
He just shook his head and laughed. Clint stated “Loki I do believe you might be the only one here to not know me and Pietro are dating, it is a secret though”
Loki grinned “I suspected as much”
Pietro groaned “I thought we were good at hiding it”
Tony gestured to Pietro’s hand that was intertwined with Clint’s and shouted “I don’t know maybe it’s the fucking hand holding that gave you away”
Clint and Pietro both looked sheepish and he just grinned “what so it wasn’t the fact Clint’s wearing Pietro’s track hoodie”
Everyone seemed to look at Clint seemingly not having noticed before and Sam admitted “I didn’t even notice that”
Natasha laughed “it literally says Maximoff on the back, how did you guys not notice”
He chuckled “you guys are blind”
Clint stated “admittedly that probably wasn’t the smartest thing to do whilst in a secret relationship”
Sam grinned “hey on the plus side it’s not as dumb as when Steve and Bucky kissed right in front of me whilst they apparently had no romantic feeling for each other whatsoever”
He chuckled at the memory. They had been pretty stupid back then. They had been dating for about six months at that point and completely forgotten Sam was with them. They had remembered the second they kissed, and Sam began slowly clapping and admitted he thought they were going to get together for ages. They had come out to the rest of the school a couple of weeks later by rocking up to the school dance together and kissing each other in the middle of the red carpet as the photographer took their photo. They still had that photo, and it was framed and hung up in Steve’s bedroom. They didn’t have to deal with a lot of homophobias because after he punched an older boy at the dance for calling Steve a fag most of school quickly shut their mouths and kept their homophobic views to themselves in fear of being punched.
Sometimes he wondered if he made the wrong decision coming out. But when he got to kiss Steve whenever he wanted and hold his hand it made it worth it. Especially since he guessed he was going to be judged anyway. And if he was being judged it might as well be for something that was true and not made up. He felt bad for Clint and Pietro knowing just how hard it was to keep a relationship secret. But he could understand why they were doing it. He just wished they didn’t have to. But people judged it was just something they did. And whilst it could be better it certainly could be a lot worse. Pietro smiled “sometimes you forget you’re supposed to be hiding it”
He nodded along and Clint laughed “or sometimes you are hiding, and some creep is just watching you in the dark”
Clint stared directly at him, and he just shook his head as he stated “no you two were in public anyone could have seen you, it just happened to be me”
Tony laughed “do you two just make out in open space”
Pietro shook his head at the same time Clint announced “no we were in a very secluded area of town”
He chuckled “you were literally ‘hiding’ behind a tree across from a convenience store”
Everyone laughed as Natasha Face palmed and Pietro stated “hey we were a good thirty meters away at least and it was dark”
Natasha just shook her head and mumbled “you two are a new level of stupid you were made for each other”
Everyone seemed to be in agreeance about that. Clint grinned “I’m homered guys, really I am”
Tony jumped up and grinned “Stephen’s here I better go get him”
Natasha whistled “go get your man Tony”
Tony shot her a glare and they all just broke off into laughter especially since they all watched the blush flush over Tony’s face. Clint grinned “alright bet’s guys, how long to those two get together, my money’s on tonight”
Sam shook his head and stated “I give it till Monday”
Loki stated “they are both thick-headed idiots, it will be another two weeks at least”
Pietro shrugged “it will happen at whatever party is happening next weekend”
Natasha stated “Wednesday”
Clint smirked “so let me get this right your money is on hump day”
Natasha just smirked. He was going to have to side with Loki. They were both stupid and apparently blind so it would likely be a while before anything happened between the two. He grinned “three weeks from now”
Sam grinned “you’re playing the long game I guess”
He nodded with the two’s stupidity he honestly didn’t think it wasn’t going to happen anytime soon. Maybe he was wrong. Hopefully he was wrong because he found himself cringing at every interaction between the pair and couldn’t understand how they didn’t see that they liked each other. It wasn’t like either of them were any good at hiding it. He shrugged “guess I am”
Loki grinned “the long game is the way to go”
Everyone else seemed unsure. But he figured he was right. Then again for all he knew they could be getting together right now. He watched as Clint stole part of Pietro’s baguette and give him a sly smile and just thought about all the times, he had taken Steve’s food. Then again, he’d always been stealing Steve’s food because Steve never seemed to care. He couldn’t understand how the Steve whose main way to stop him from stealing his food would be to kiss him had pretty much forced him into getting invites and was trying to get him to buy alcohol not to mention has hit him. Steve never hit anyone who didn’t deserve it. But what had he done to deserve it. He wasn’t sure he had done anything. Sam just stated “Bucky you just going to stare at that wall all day”
He rolled his eyes and jus sat down next to Sam and questioned “would it be an issue if I did”
Sam grinned “less of an issue more just strange”
Pietro added “and just a little bit terrifying”
He just smirked at them both and shrugged “what if that was what I was going for”
Sam laughed “then you might want to try harder”
He shrugged and just smiled at Sam. They were interrupted seconds later by Tony and Stephen walking into the room. He was positive they all noticed how Tony was holding Stephen’s bag. Tony placed the bag down with everyone else’s and Loki smirked “hey Stephen”
Stephen clearly didn’t like the way Loki was grinning because he just chose to ignore him. Natasha stated “I had you pegged as someone who would go to school”
Loki laughed and Stephen stated “not cool, I hate school just as much as the next person”
They all laughed at that. School was a pointless waste of time, and he would rather spend his days doing literally anything else. It’s not like he was ever going to have the brains to get into college and he wasn’t sure he even wanted to. Clint grinned “I can assure you no one hates school quite as much as me”
With a grin he asked “do you want to bet”
Clint seemed to think about it for a second before he stated “alright maybe Bucky hates school as much as me”
He chuckled and figured that maybe Clint hated school as much as him. Clint always seemed to be getting into trouble and his grades were less than desirable much like him own. So, he was perfectly fine sharing the title of hating school the most. No one else seemed to really disagree either since no one else tried to argue with Clint’s statement. Sam smirked “Tony you got a football”
Tony looked at him in disgust and stated “gross of course not, I have a baseball and bat”
Sam gestured to him and stated “with Bucky here, I think fucking not”
He stated “hey”
Clint pointed a finger at him and laughed “shut up Bucky we all know you’re the next Cy Young”
He smiled; it had been a while since someone had referred to him as Cy Young. Not that he really believed them when they did. Loki questioned “am I supposed to know who that is”
Stephen shrugged and he figured neither were the type to watch sport. Clint nodded “yes, yes you are”
Tony just shook his head and asked “what about soccer”
Sam shrugged “I guess it will have to do”
Everyone seemed happy to play, even Loki who normally looked like he would rather murder himself than exercise. Tony nodded “alright let me go get the ball”
With that Tony disappeared and Clint grinned “I’m captain”
Natasha laughed “absolutely not, me and Stephen are the captains, I pick first”
Stephen nodded in agreement. Clint just rolled her eyes and groaned. Natasha smirked “alright I get Pietro”
Clint put a hand to his heart and mumbled “as if you would pick my boyfriend over me”
Natasha just waved his concern off, and Stephen stated “Tony”
Loki whispered something in his ear and Stephen hit him. He just leaned back and winked. Stephen glared straight at him. Natasha looked between him and Sam and stated “guess I’ll take Sam”
Sam pumped his fist in the air and Stephen quickly took Loki. Natasha levelled her gaze between him and Clint and stated “I suppose I’m taking Bucky then”
He laughed “you don’t need to sound so sad about it”
Natasha gestured to him and stated “sorry if I don’t think you’re the best soccer player”
He groaned “come on you have never even seen me play”
Natasha laughed “my point exactly, I don’t know when the last time I saw you play any sport was”
She did have a point. He hadn’t been in PE for years and so no one really knew how good he was at anything. Tony came back and asked “what did I miss”
Clint grinned “you’re on my team with, Loki, Stephen’s captain”
Tony who you would expect to want to argue to be captain instead just grinned and announced “well let’s get out there shall we”
They headed outside and as it turned out Tony had actual soccer goals. He definitely wasn’t expecting that, but it was a lot better than just setting up cones as goals. Natasha brought them into a huddle and asked “alright who wants to be goalie”
He figured he could be a decent goalkeeper and if he really wanted to, he could run out and get more involved. So, he nodded “yeah alright I’ll do it”
Natasha stated “good, don’t let any goals in”
He nodded and guessed that if he let any goals in Natasha would likely murder him anyway. So yeah, that wasn’t an option. As they set up, he noticed Loki was the goalkeeper for the other team. Everyone else discarded their jackets in a pile in the grass but he just kept his on and was glad when nobody said anything. Even if he sweated the entire time, it was preferable to having everyone know about his arm. He was just glad no one said a word about it. Stephen’s team got to kick off since Natasha picked first. Immediately he could see that Stephen and Tony were pretty good and Clint was terrible. Very terrible. He could see why Natasha definitely didn’t want him on her team. Natasha turned out to be the best player, and Pietro was fast and could handle the ball well.
He decided to use the run his team had to get his phone out and check it as it was constantly beeping. He just guessed it was Steve. Turns out he was completely wrong, and it was just Sharon and Quentin It mainly just consisted of the pair telling him he was a shitty person and a shitty boyfriend for not buying them all alcohol. Not that he gave a shit about what either one of them though. So, he just decided to block them both. As he was doing so Clint who had given up trying to get his teammates to pass him the ball and had instead walked over questioned “are you on your phone”
It wasn’t like he was going to let any goals in they were at the other goal. Grinning he looked up at Clint he laughed “hey I’m the goalie and there up the other end, I have the time, you given up”
Clint chuckled “of course I’ve given up, I do archery for a reason”
He grinned and just finished blocking Sharon and Quentin. As he did, he got a text from a random number that he quickly worked out was Thor, it read ‘Loki is not answering his phone, I’m at Stark’s can you get Loki to bring me my outfit’
He replied saying he would and immediately called “Loki, Thor’s here”
Loki nodded and went to go and get it when Stephen stated “no you don’t I’m not being two players down, Clint can go get it”
Loki rolled his eyes and stated “Bucky will you please take my brother the outfit”
He nodded and figured at least that way the teams would stay even, and it wasn’t as though he was missing much anyway or overly interested in playing. Plus, he had helped pick out the outfit, so he knew what he was grabbing. Clint grinned “I’m coming with any excuse to get away from the game”
It’s not like Clint was playing anyway and even if he was well, he would probably be better away from the ball. So, they walked back inside to where they had left the bags and he grabbed Thor’s clothes and shoes out. Clint who was watching him grinned “is that a yellow jacket”
He smirked as he stated “that it is”
Clint laughed as he replied “and I’m going to guess Loki’s not wearing it”
He could feel Clint grinning about him wearing a yellow jacket. It was a very unnatural thing for him to wear. Especially since he spent most of his time wearing black clothing. He rolled his eyes and stated “yes Clint I’m wearing the yellow jacket, is that what you wanted to hear”
Clint grin somehow grew even wider as he smirked “yep”
He just shook his head and they walked out of Tony’s house and down his driveway as Clint teased “I can’t wait, who knew bad boy Barnes wore anything other than black and grey”
He rolled his eyes as he stated “I feel like slapping you”
Clint grinned “you’re too nice, you won’t”
He shook his head and stated “I hit people all the time”
Clint smiled “not your friends”
Clint definitely had a point. He was not the sort of person who would willingly hit his friends. Sure, he might lightly punch Sam on the shoulder when he was being annoying, but he would never outright hit him. That was just something you were never supposed to do to your friends. He shrugged “who says we’re friends”
Clint laughed “you be someone’s locker buddy and they still have the audacity to think after everything they get a choice in whether or not they want to be friends”
He grinned and wondered if he should point out the number of people in the school who ended up beside someone they hated. He just let it be and laughed. They reached the gate where Thor was waiting, and he spotted Korg in his car clearly having driven Thor. He handed the clothes through the gate and stated “Loki wasn’t allowed to leave the soccer game”
Thor beamed “that is alright, tell him I will see him at the party and to be safe, thank you for the outfit’
He waved his hand and stated “no problem, see you tonight”
Thor grinned “yes, you should join me for shots when you arrive”
He figured if he was still able to walk straight by the time the party started, he would be more than willing to join Thor for a round of shots. So, he smiled “of course”
Thor nodded “goodbye friends”
They both waved goodbye as Thor got back into Korg’s car. As they drove off Clint smirked “tonight is going to be fun”
He nodded in agreement because it was sure starting to look that way. A car was driving towards them, and he recognised it as Jarvis’. As it got closer, he realised Bruce, Vison and Wanda were inside which meant since everyone was now here things were going to get a lot more exciting. Something he was more than definitely up for. He grinned “it definitely is, you ready to get shitfaced Barton”
Clint smirked “I thought you’d never ask”
They both laughed and walked towards where Jarvis had parked the car. Wanda grinned “so is this where the dropkicks have been instead of school”
Clint put his arm around his shoulder and replied “school is for dweebs”
Jarvis chuckled “if that was the case you would have been there”
Vision laughed and his opinion of Jarvis was cemented. Jarvis was a really good man. Clint groaned “come on Jarvis, you don’t have to do me like that”
They all just grinned, and Jarvis just waved off the comment and questioned “is Stephen here”
Clint smirked “he’s out the back playing soccer with everyone else”
Jarvis smiled “good, I shall come with you and embarrass Tony, later we can have a discussion about how it is called football and not soccer”
Clint shrugged “I don’t care what you call it as long as I don’t have to play”
They all laughed, and he smirked “no one wants you playing anyways”
Clint just put a hand to his heart and smiled “you pain me”
Jarvis just led the way and Wanda, Vision and Bruce took a quick detour to drop their bags off. When they made it back out to the soccer game it had turned into a penalty shootout. And the second Tony laid eyes on Jarvis he put his head in his hands and questioned “Jarvis, do you not have anywhere better to be”
Jarvis pointedly looked around and blatantly stated “no”
Tony seemed to give up and since he made no move to introduce anyone Vision who had re-joined them smiled “Ed, that’s Loki, Stephen and Sam”
They all gave a small wave and Jarvis nodded “thanks Vis, it seems Tony is incapable of having manners”
Tony left the penalty shoot out and walked towards Jarvis steering him away from his friends and towards the house. Vision followed them both looking excitedly and like he was about to stir things and make them even worse for Tony. Sam smirked “well I think Tony’s about to murder someone”
Sam just winked at Stephen seemingly confusing him completely if the look on his face was anything to go by. Wanda grinned “he knew too much”
Everyone seemed to grin at each other just leaving Stephen there confused. In an effort to change the topic so poor Stephen didn’t look so lost he grinned “whose keeper, it’s my penalty”
Sam grinned “if you’re kicking, I’m going keeper, not that we’ll need one”
He laughed and stared Sam down who stared right back at them. They continued to stare each other down until a ball hit Sam in the head and they both spun to where it came from. Wanda was standing there grinning, and she just shrugged “sorry”
She definitely wasn’t sorry. He just got the ball and set up to take the penalty as Sam stood in the goals ready. When he kicked it, Sam missed it by just a few inches, and he grinned as Sam swore. He was going to have fun annoying Sam about that one for a while. It was always fun to tease Sam. He smirked “how does it feel knowing your shit”
Sam just glared and questioned “how does it feel knowing no one likes you”
He just chuckled in response as Pietro took over as goalkeeper and Wanda kicked a ball at him which he easily saved. They continued on taking penalty’s as he was sure they were all wondering about what was being said to Tony inside by the two Jarvis’. It was very likely he was being laughed at.
