Chapter 7
Sebastian sighs as he paced around his kitchen, with a mug of coffee in his hands. He had decided to spend the weekend at home, as Anthony was busy with Christmas shopping with his kids. His door bell rang, he placed his mugs on the kitchen counter and walks to his main door, he opens the door and smiles, it was Chris Evans, he had decided to drop by for an afternoon cup of coffee with his best friend.
“Well you look like a zombie honestly.” Chris greets him.
“I'm just tired Chris.” Sebastian sighs as he ushers Chris in.
“Were the kids that terrible?” Chris asked as he hangs his jacket on the coat hanger.
“They are more lovable than terrible and i really love having them around. It's just Anthony.” Sebastian sighs as he walks into the kitchen.
“Tell me what is he up to then?” Chris asked as he sits by the counter.
“Coffee or tea first?” Sebastian asked him.
“Hot chocolate please, the weather is freezing.” Chris replies.
“Coming right up.” Sebastian said as he pulls out a mug.
“So as i was saying. I love Anthony. He's a sweetheart honestly, he makes me the most happiest and i feel warm when I'm with him. Helping him with the kids, really brightens up my day.” Sebastian said as he pours hot water into the mug, stirring the cocoa powder in it.
“And what's up with that?” Chris asked him as he hands him the drink.
“He's really low key and all, he does tease about us and i appreciate that. But he keeps talking about marriage, but just got out of one, and isn't it too rushing to jump into a new one.” Sebastian asked as he sips his own drink.
“Knowing Mackie, he lowkey loves to talk about his partner. He loves you, have you seen the light flirting during our Winter soldier days, he loves you. Well you know how he's used to marriage life, how he was always settled down. Maybe talk to him, tell him you're not into being tied down yet. You both should still enjoy life.” Chris shrugs as he sips his drink.
“I 'm not asking you to take a break or say no to him. Tell him to enjoy this new relationship, i know it's like what 2 years of you both being together, shouldn't you say what's on your mind since it's your relationship. Tell him that, that you enjoy your time with him, enjoy your quality time with his kids, and tell him not to rush for the marriage thing. Take a step at a time.” Chris replies.
“Honestly, you need to get Robert on the line, or maybe Scarlett, they are in a relationship and married or were married for Scarlett, get their opinion on this thing. Plus they know Mackie pretty well.” Chris took a bite of the cookie on the table.
“You know what, I'm gonna call Robert now. Hold up.” Sebastian said as he took out his phone.
He let his phone ring in the background, as he waits for Robert to answer his face time, and within the 5th ring, Robert picks up the call.
“Sup Barnes?” Robert chuckles.
“Hey Downey!” Chris greets him.
“Cap! You're there too? Are we having an Avenger reunion or just Team Cap?” Robert asked as he looks into the camera.
“Just Chris, boyfriend out with the kids.” Sebastian chuckles.
“Good. So hit me, why do you need a married man advice?” Robert asked him.
“How did you know i need your advice?” Sebastian asked.
“You either call me to ask about relationship advice or just to ask me about random internet question. I'm not Tony Stark alright.” Robert replies.
“Alright, Anthony has been asking to marry him and jokes about being his husband. And I'm not ready for the next step. I'm really comfortable with him like this, his kids calling me papa and all.” Sebastian sighs.
“Hold up, let me get Scarlett on the line too.” Robert said as he puts them on hold.
“Why are we getting the black widow involved now?” Sebastian asked Chris, who just shrugs at him.
“Alright, hit me.” Scarlett said as her face appears on the screen.
Robert explained everything and Chris too repeated everything while Sebastian sat there looking at them.
“You know what Cap. Let's assemble and we can talk it out over beer.” Scarlett said.
“I'm only available after new years, i have to join the Mackie's for Christmas” Sebastian said.
“Okay, let's meet up somewhere in January instead, since the kids will start school, so i can have my morning off and you guys can come over.” Scarlett said.
“Sure thing babe. Keep us updated alright.” Robert said.
“I have to go now, Mrs D needs me now. Catch up with you guys soon.” Robert said as he hangs up.
“Take care boys, i miss you.” Scarlett said as she blows them kisses and hangs up the call.
“And now we're left with the both of us.” Sebastian sighs.
“Sorry bro, i got to go now. Mum need me home.” Chris apologized as he got up from his seat and grabs his jacket.
“See you soon bro!” Chris calls out as he walks out.
“Yeah see you.” Sebastian sighs as he sat back by the counter.
