the tea
bucky was sitting outside with natasha, steve, sam tony and scott. he couldn’t help but notice that his best friend was too busy drawing to notice that sam had asked him a question.
“hello, earth to rogers?” steve blinked, looking towards his friends.
“oh, sorry, sam.”
“is your notebook more important than what i’ve got to say? huh, steve?” sam asked, in a fake offended voice. bucky punched him in the arm. “ow.”
“leave him alone, sam. it’s not illegal for him to draw.” steve softly smiled at bucky. bucky returned it.
“well, it is illegal when i’m asking him a question. or just talking in general.” tony claimed.
“shut up, stark!” natasha said, picking up bits of grass on the floor and ripping them up into smaller pieces. she threw a few pieces of grass at tony.
“why don’t you run off and talk to pepper instead?”
“why don’t you shut your mouth and hang around with that new kid?” an awkward silence filled the atmosphere as the two had a glare off. scott exaggeratedly coughed, causing the two to look at him.
“anyway... what was the question?” steve asked sam.
“now i’ve forgotten...” sam paused, thinking.
“ooh, i think i know!” scott claimed, raising his hand up as if he were trying to answer a question in class.
“you don’t have to put your hand up like that.” tony muttered, raising his eyebrow.
“i don’t care.” scott said back. “you wanted to ask steve what he-“
“oh yes, steve, what the heck are you drawing?” sam interrupted scott.
“-was drawing.” scott finished, frowning.
“i was just drawing that tree.” steve answered, showing the others his notebook.
“nice.” natasha commented, smiling.
“yoinks!” tony grabbed the notebook.
“tony!” steve tried to get it back.
“hold on, i won’t rip a page out. i just want to see what other drawings are in here.” tony flicked through pages. “hmmmm. oh, seems to be a lot of-“
“that’s enough, tony!” steve grabbed his notebook back. tony held his hands up in surrender.
“i see how it’s gonna be.” tony shuffled closer to steve and whispered into his ear. “your secret is safe with me, steve.” he smirked before shuffling back. steve blushed heavily, before standing up.
“i just remembered that thor wanted me to do something for him. bye!” he ran off before the others got to say anything back.
“uh, what was that about?” bucky asked. tony chuckled.
“you have no idea.”
“thor odinson!” valkyrie called, running through the hallways. principal nick fury walked past, causing her to slow down and walk.
“hello, valkyrie.” fury said.
“hello, principal fury.” she smiled. when he was out of view, she continued to run down the hallway until she made it to room 116.
-KNOCKKNOCKKNOCK-
“c-come in.” cane a quiet and shaky voice.
“listen here, bitch, we still need to talk about...” valkyrie paused. “woah, are you okay?” thor laid on his bed, his eyes red, valkyrie assumes from crying. she then proved herself right when she noticed his cheeks had tear tracks. but why had be been crying?
“y-yes, i’m fine.” thor answered, weakly.
“thor, i’m not an emotion reader or anything like mantis, but i can tell that’s your lying.” she walked up to thor and the blonde male sat up. he slowly nodded.
“yeah, i’m not fine at all.” valkyrie sat next to him, patting his back.
“where’s loki?”
“he went to a cafe with his weird boyfriend graham master.”
“ugh, he’s weird.”
“yes, i cannot see what loki sees in him, but he does make him happy.”
“anyway, enough about loki, what about you?” thor sighed.
“i kissed banner. i finally did it.”
“is that not a good thing?”
“it would be, if he kissed back.”
“oh, shit.”
“yes. i haven’t spoken to him ever since it happened.”
“when did it happen?”
“yesterday.” valkyrie paused, staring at her sad friend. she knew how much thor like bruce, the moment the blonde male laid his eyes on him, he had fallen for him.
“when you kissed him, did he push you away?” thor shook his head.
“no, but he did not kiss me back.”
“that doesn’t mean he didn’t like it? for all we know, bruce could’ve been too shocked to react. you know how shy he is.” thor smiled weakly.
“y-yeah, that could be it.”
“you should ask him out.”
“ha! suggest that to me again, after you’ve asked carol out.” valkyrie grinned, she loved a good challenge, and thor loved a good challenge too.
“sure, let’s have a bet. whoever asks their crush out first gets to... uh... i dunno?”
“they get $20.”
“you, odinson, have got your self a deal.” the two stared at each other, before shaking their hands.
“i can already smell the money.”
“don’t get your hopes up to high, thor.” valkyrie smiled as thor laughed. “you feeling better now?”
“ah, yes, thank you.”
“your welcome.” valkyrie hardened her grip on thor’s hand. thor winced.
“ummm, valkyrie?”
“now, i need you to explain to me why you followed me and carol to the park.”
“oh... umm.” thor yelped when valkyrie strengthened her grip again.
“hurry up, thor.” thor gulped.
“mr stark!” peter called, opening tony’s room door.
“what is it, kid?” tony asked. he was on his laptop on his bed. peter walked up to the bed and sat next to him.
“what are you doing?” he asked the older boy when he noticed that tony was doing a quiz called ‘what type of dog breed are you based on your shrek knowledge?’.
“did you come here to judge me or ask me a question?” tony replied, not looking away from the screen.
“it’s about wade.” tony slammed his laptop closed at the mention of the name.
“what’s it about wilson?”
“i think i like him. like, like like him.”
“that’s a lot of ‘likes’, kid.” peter whined.
“i felt bad for him for basically telling him to...”
“...fuck off?”
“yes! he hasn’t answered my calls or texts and he doesn’t talk to me in the lessons we have or in lunch. he doesn’t even put any love notes in my locker and-“
“wait, he put love notes in your locker?” tony raised a curious and threatening eyebrow. peter shook his head.
“t-that’s not the point. i think i have a crush on him.”
“kid, are you this is a crush or just feeling guilty for telling him to fuck off? ‘cause i think it’s the latter.” tony put his laptop away. “you could just feel bad and your mind’s like ‘well shit i don’t wanna see him sad’ and it’s making you think you like him like that, but ya don’t, ya know?” peter nodded.
“yeah, i get that. should i text him, telling him we need to talk?”
“yeah, that’s great.” peter grabbed his phone and sent the message.
peter: hey, can we talk? i don’t mind when but i really need to talk to you?
peter sighed in relief when he instantly got a message.
wade: yeah, sure... are you free @ lunch ;)
peter felt his heart flip when he saw the winky face. he was glad that wade was finally answering his messages and acting like none of it never happened, even if it was only on the phone.
peter: yeah, obvs gotta have lunch lmao
wade: tru! i’ll see you then, petey
peter: see ya
“he said he’s available at lunch. he said he’s available at lunch. he said he’s available at lunch. he said he’s available-“
“peter stop repeating shit and get out of my room, i’ve got a buzzfeed quiz to complete.”
“o-oh right, sorry.” peter got off the bed and exited the room, a huge grin painted onto his face.
he didn’t know why, maybe it was the whole guilt thing tony was talking about, but knowing he was gonna talk to wade again made his heart light and his stomach churn.
