Their Love Story
Somehow Tony was been going to Romania for a few days, every 2 weeks, with the reason of wanting to build another Stark Industry, Pepper only join him a few times, but soon it was a private visit. As he steps into his usual diner, the smell of Romanian food, filled his lungs, his stomach starts to grumble, he sat at his usual sit, the corner booth, where it was hard to access by paparazzi but easier to escape by the back door. When he first came there, paparazzi swam him, lucky to the lady boss, she hides him in this booth, before the coast is clear, she lets him exit the back door, since then he been visiting this diner, it has been a year since he first stumble into this place. As he inhales the usual smell, knowing what his order was, Mici and Sarmale and Coffee, it was the first thing he tried, and will always be his favourite. “The usual one again huh?” Tony heard the waiter asking, of course it was his favourite, “YES the usual James, and please coffee first.” Tony replied as he smiles at James. “Order coming right up Doll!” James said as he flips his notebook close. James knows his order by heart, every time Tony would walk in, his heart would swell with love, and he knows it won’t be like those drop-in lunches then walk off, Tony would stay for hours, sometimes even till closing, then Tony would accompany James home.
“So, how’s everything James?” Tony asked, as James set his food down. James or Bucky likes it when Tony calls him James, instead of Bucky, it’s like they were 2 separate human being, he remembers the first time Tony came into this restaurant, panting after running from the paparazzi. He likes the attention but too much was eating on his anxiety. As Tony slides into one of the hidden booths, Bucky slides in too next to him, covering Tony’s body from anyone’s view, it did shocked Tony, but he was relived it was Bucky, even if they didn’t know each other much, but Tony felt comfortable, he was lucky it’s someone he knows or might know. Just as Bucky slides out the booth, Tony grabs his arm, “It’s James, right? Stevie’s best friend?” Tony said as he looks inside those blue eyes that he calls home, Bucky arm stiffen, no one calls him James, rarely anyone dare to calls him that, but Bucky likes it when Tony calls him James, he just nods in reply to Tony’s question, “I’m Tony by the way, one of Steve’s friend, more like teammate I guess” Tony replied as he lets Bucky’s are go. “I know.” Bucky replied as he eyes Tony, “but what brings you here? To Romania? “Bucky asked, “How about you make me a coffee, then I shall answer all your questions.” Tony replied. Bucky went ahead and made coffee for Tony, somehow, he knows what this man wants, after he serve Tony’s coffee, he sat across from Tony, Tony takes a sip of the coffee, and smile, “Best coffee I ever had!” Tony exclaimed, Bucky could only smile at the compliment. “You asked just now, what brings me here, 2 reasons, 1. Stark Industries, 2. You. I came here for a business trip, wanting to open one Stark Industry here and hire your people, since most of them are smart and they knows mechanical engineering, and also You, I’ve read about you, about what happen, I knew you would run back here and blend with others, but I never expect to bump into you here, and you hunny, is a fine specimen, God, look at you! Where did god hide you?” Tony replied as he took small sips of the coffee, not wanting to finish it in one gulp. “But why find me? I’m a brainwashed assassin, I’m a mess, I’m not mentally stable for this Stark.” Bucky replied, as he fiddles with his fingers, “Look James, everyone has their story, if I told you, I just got back from some stupid fight with an Asgardian Prince trying to take over New York, and it pisses me off how I could almost die but yet I fight for it. I fought against fate, just to sit here and talk to you. Hell, I’m having some PTSD after becoming IronMan, I couldn’t sleep well, after nearly died few too many times, but I’m here. All I’m saying, everyone has their own battlefield, it all depends who you want to be with in your war zone, to fight with you, not against you. I’m not asking you to fight another war, I’m asking you to let me fight this war with you. Pepper always said, two manipulated minds, is always better than one genius. Something like that. “Tony replied, as he looks deep in Bucky’s eyes. “You could just call me Bucky you know, instead of James.” Bucky replied, trying to change his topic. “Why? I prefer to call you James, it’s like talking to someone else, not speaking to the Winter Soldier, not associating you to him. You deserve to be comfortable, if you want, then I shall call you Bucky then.” Tony replied him as he took another sip of his coffee. “It’s up to you Anthony, I don’t mind actually.” Bucky replied, “Sure thing James, also why are you working here?” Tony asked, “The owner was a family friend, I decided to apply here, stating I was one of my own grandnephews, and my parents were dead, so I decided to come back to my roots. So here I am waiting tables, just to stay away from everyone. Please don’t tell Steve you found me, I don’t want him to come finds my ass and drag me back. Like you said, everyone has their own battlefield, and I’m still fighting my own demons, HYDRA is still in here” Bucky replied as he taps his head, HYDRA was still a part of him, Tony smiles seems to fade, what kind of sick human being could do this to Bucky. He was still a young man when he nearly falls to his death, this man fought for his country, then fought his best friend, and nearly killed his best friend, it breaks Tony’s heart. Tony continues to sip his drink, finishing it up in one cup, he then sighs into his cup, “Why must good things comes to an end?” Tony said, as he looks at his empty cup, “Don’t be dramatic Anthony, there’s more where it comes from, as long as you pay, I will continue to serve you.” Bucky chuckled as he got up to get another fresh cup of coffee.
“HELLO! EARTH TO JAMES?” Tony exclaimed as he snaps his fingers in front of Bucky’s face, Bucky finally snaps back to reality, “What? What did you say, Doll?” Bucky asked as he rubs the back of his neck, clearly embarrassed that he has been zoning out when his friend was talking to him. “I was asking, how was everything?” Tony replied as he took a bite of his food, “Everything has been okay since we last met, like 2 weeks ago, the land lady wanted to chase me out cos I paid my bills a day late, like what the hell right?” Bucky replied as he took some of Tony’s food. “Hey! They’re mine! Hands off!” Tony said as he slaps Bucky’s hands away, “But I made them!” Bucky chuckled as he steals another, earning a pout from Tony. Tony rarely acted childish but when he was with Bucky, he felt free, he would joked with him, both of them would get drinks, sometimes when Tony end up wasted, he would end up being in Bucky’s arms , on his mattress on the floor, Tony always rather spend his time in Bucky’s apartment, rather than staying at some expensive hotel, comfort before quality. For the past year, Tony felt happy, happier than he was with Pepper or Steve, he would always look forward to his trips to Romania, even if the flight took hours, well he could fly in his suit, but Romania Air Force won’t approve of it, and he got tired of Rhodey nagging at his ass. It might be a 3 days trip, but spending 3 days with Bucky, was a dream. Tony was zoning out, he didn’t realise Bucky came back with new food and a fresh pot of Coffee. “So, you are coming back to my apartment tonight?” Bucky asked, as he played with his fries, Bucky was really hoping for Tony to come over tonight, he missed cuddling up with the man, friends do cuddle on the bed right? He missed Tony talking about some science thing he was making with Bruce, before Dr Banner went missing, he liked it when Tony talked about the other Avengers, how clumsy Clint was or how stealth Natasha was, but he likes to hear when he talks about Steve, whatever mission that stupid man was on. “Is that a booty call I hear?” Tony asked as he raised his brows, “Cos hunny, I would love to come to your apartment, you know you shouldn’t ask. Cos I would just barge in there and be happy to snuggle up with you. And you know how cold the weather is right now, and your arm always radiates so much heat, I wonder who decided to install a heater in it” Tony joked, yes his weekly visit always end up adding upgrades in Bucky’s arm. He no longer associates it with death, Tony fixed his arm, and he was grateful for that. Bucky just chuckled, he decided to end his shift early tonight, and just head home with Tony. As they drove back to his apartment, stopping by the convenience store to get some drink, he wanted to drink but not end up wasted. As they reached his apartment building, Tom switch off his ignition, grabs his duffle bag from the back seat, and they both went up to his apartment, “God, they need the elevator over here, I’m really not good with cardio!” Tony said breathlessly, as he slowly climbs the steps, why did Bucky have to stay so high? “Come here!” Bucky said as he carries Tony bridal style, that was their routine, at first Tony would blush, but now, “Let’s go my love!” Tony said excitedly, Tony always enjoyed the whole being carried around, Bucky was still partly Super Soldier, so he barely weighs anything, Bucky carried him effortlessly. As they finally reach Bucky’s level, Bucky let’s Tony down, there Tony went running to his apartment, bouncing on his heels, he likes to be in Bucky’s apartment, it makes him feel like home, as Bucky unlocks the door, Tony bolts into his bedroom, dumping his bag by the door, he jumps onto Bucky’s mattress, “GOD! I MISS YOU!” Tony shouted into the pillows, he loves how Bucky smells, he loves how the whole room has Bucky’s scent. He always loved waking up to this scent. He remembers the first time he woke up in Bucky’s room, being held in Bucky’s strong arms, cos he was drunk that night, and breathing in hi scent for the first time, Tony never stop smiling till he went back home, he even secretly took one of Bucky’s pullover or hoodie after ever visit, buying him a new one to wear, then exchanging that for the old ones. Tony seems to sleep better when he could smell Bucky.” Do you want to steal my pillows too? And slip in new ones maybe?” Bucky joked, cos he knows when his clothes starts getting missing, he knows Tony likes to wear his oversize hoodie over his skinny jeans, sometimes he walks around Bucky’s apartment in Bucky’s brief and t shirt, they were so comfortable with it, both didn’t mind at all. Whenever Bucky had to work, Tony would laze in bed, wearing Bucky’s clothes. “I would get you a new apartment too, if you want, cos hunny I’ve always wanted the best for you!” Tony said as he winked to Bucky, knowing Tony, he would have bought this whole apartment building, hell he would bought the diner his family owns. “You know what, I’m buying this building! I hate how the landlord was always rude to you!” Tony said as he slides his phone out of his jeans, “FRIDAY! Check for me the price of this building and also the diner, I feel like investing!” Tony said to his phone, as he wiggles his brows to Bucky, Bucky could only laugh at Tony’s antics. “Come here! I know you loved me too much alright!” Bucky chuckles as he walks towards Tony, “You should strip then I wouldn’t invest, how about that? Win-win situation isn’t it?” Tony teased, he likes to watch Bucky strip, this is what friends do right? They tease and flirt with each other? “Come on Anthony! Get up, aren’t we drinking tonight?” Bucky asked as he held his hands out, offering to help Tony up. “Sir, it would really cost you nothing to invest in this building and the diner, you could actually buy the whole street!” FRIDAY replied Tony. Tony’s eyes light up. “Hey FRIDAY, prepare the, UMPH!” Tony could barely finish his sentence when Bucky pushes him against the wall, straddling him, and trying to get Tony’s phone out of his hand, to cancel the transaction, as much as he loves Tony right now, he couldn’t let this man pay for his apartment. “What was that Sir?” FRIDAY asked, “Cancel the transaction FRI, your boss is a bit busy now” Bucky replied, as he smirks down at Tony, Tony faced was flushed, he never imagined to be in this position, especially Bucky being on top, he knows he was always a bottom, but damn Bucky sure looks hot right about now. “Roger that Mr Barnes!” FRIDAY finally replied.
They stayed In that position for a good 5 minutes, before Tony decided to make the first move, he tils his head up, giving Bucky access to his lips, since Tony’s hands were already on Bucky’s thighs, Tony caressing Bucky’s thighs, slowly moving up his ass, Bucky’s breath hitched, he took the queue and leans forward, if the signal was right, both party wanted to do it. As Bucky’s lips brushed against Tony, Tony leans in closer to deepen the kiss, squeezing Bucky’s ass in return, earning a low moan from Bucky, Tony just smile into the kiss, as Bucky cradles Tony’s neck, slowly laying him down, Bucky balance himself on one of his elbow, hovering slightly above Tony, both mans were hard, Bucky slowly unbuttoning Tony’s shirt, Bucky move the kisses form Tony’s lips, to Tony’s neck, slowly to his chest, kissing the scars tenderly, kissing Tony’s sternum, where his arc reactor was. Slowly moving down to his stomach, then Bucky grabs Tony’s hips, moving slightly down to his naval. He was licking down around Tony’s sensitive area. “Fuck! Stop teasing me James!” Tony moaned, his body was begging to be touched, he was so hard, Bucky only chuckled, “Take it slowly Doll, there’s a lot of time in the world!” Bucky teased, as he slowly unbuckled Tony’s belt, pulling it away in one smooth movement, sliding Tony’s jeans off, palming Tony’s erection, earning a low growl from Tony. “It’s unfair I’m nearly naked but you’re still full dressed Mister!” Tony said breathlessly. Bucky then just sat up, and pulled his shirt off in one smooth motion, and he wiggles out form his jeans with ease, if that didn’t make Tony crazy, that made Tony drool. Tony sat up and he just smiles at Bucky, “You sure wanna do this Doll?” Bucky asked as he eyes Tony, he could see the lust in Tony’s eyes. “I’m never been very sure, I want you tonight James.” Tony replied as he smiles warmly to Bucky, within seconds, Bucky went ahead and kissed Tony, ending up being on top of Tony, earning moans from him. As the night gets darker, the moans get louder, their breathing gets harder, cursing and swearing could be heard. Both men enjoyed their company, soon sleep caught up with them.
Next day, Bucky woke up to an empty bed, funny how he was a Super Soldier, but yet he couldn’t hear when Tony left. Tony’s piles of clothes were still there, the night before really happened huh? It was not a dream after all. Bucky just grab his briefs, and pull his shirt over his head, and head out to the kitchen to make himself some coffee, a habit of Tony that he got used too. There was already a freshly brewed cup of coffee on the counter, and a note. “Sorry to have left early, some stupid Stark Internship I have to handle, since Pepper dumped me, will be back next week alright love. Please wait for me. Love you- Anthony. Ps. Yesterday was great. Wants more! Ps. Also bought this building, hello tenant! Ps. Also bought the diner, hello employee!” Tony wrote. Bucky chuckled, Tony is really unpredictable. As he gulps down his coffee, and went back to his room, to get ready for his work, another note was stuck on his wardrobe, “WORE YOU SWEATPANTS AND HOODIE, COS I GONNA MISS YOU. HERE SOMETHING NEW TO WEAR, MAKE SURE IT SMELLS LIKE YOU BEFORE I STEAL IT! – ANTHONY!” Bucky just shook his head. Tony is just another level of craziness. Bucky just grabs his towel and Tony’s dirty laundry and head off to the bathroom. It’s gonna be a long weekend before he could meet Tony again.
