The Fitting
After breakfast everyone went to their rooms to get ready for the day.
His mom and Rebecca were to go to her last fitting for her dress, along with his sisters bridesmaids. While Steve and his dad were to go try on their tux’s.
“Bucky, do you want to come?” Steve had asked, eyes hopeful.
“Yeah, can’t go to a wedding without a tux son.” George said, smiling as he rested his large hand on the Omega’s shoulder.
“I already have one actually, but I’d still like to go, give me something to do.”
“Great.” Steve said, his eyes still on Bucky.
They held eye contact until Rebecca came up and kissed Steve, she pulled away first, her eyes finding Bucky’s and looking at him, like she was making sure he saw her mark her territory.
Bucky rolled his eyes as he turned away from the couple.
God, how was he supposed to deal with two weeks of her ridiculousness. Luckily his mate would be here soon, and he would have someone to hold his hand through all of this.
They took George’s car, Bucky riding in the passenger seat while Steve sat in the back along with a few of Bucky’s cousins and uncles.
The ride there was anything but quite, his relatives being able to hold a one sided conversation for as long (and loud) as they pleased.
His dad parked on the street, after searching for an open spot and only finding one a block from their destination.
Steve was the first out of the car, he’d sat behind Bucky, and opened the Omega’s door before he had a chance to do it himself.
Bucky was surprised.
He climbed out, giving Steve a small smile in return of the Alpha’s large grin.
Okay, so maybe Steve was feeling guilty and was trying to make it up to Bucky? Obviously he doesn’t have feelings for the Omega, considering he cheated on him and is now marrying someone else.
Bucky decided to just shake it off, put it at the back of his mind.
His dad came to stand beside him, holding his arm out to his son.
Bucky chuckled before taking his fathers arm with a smile, and then walking along the sidewalk towards the tux shop.
He admired the streets of the city, having not been here for seven years it didn’t really feel like home anymore.
It was odd to look at such familiar things, places that would forever be ingrained in his memory and not feel that particular warmth in his chest of home, safe, mine.
A little kick came from his belly, and he rubbed it with his free hand. Happy for the encouragement of his baby.
.•O•.
Rebecca stood up straight as the women laced up the back of her dress, she smiled at herself in the mirror.
She loved this dress, it made her look like Cinderella (a/n *cough* more like the ugly step sister *cough*).
It was poofy, and brilliantly white, and it made her feel important.
Her father was paying for the wedding, as was tradition. He was also paying for this dress, her budget had been lower but she was able to talk him up a little.
Once she was fully laced up she did a little twirl, letting out a joyous giggle.
Her mother smiled lovingly at her from the pink couch she sat on. All of her aunts cooed, and her cousins seemed to not care.
Her maid of honor, Natasha, gave her a small smile in the mirror.
Natasha was married to Sam, who was Steve’s best man and friend, and seeing as Rebecca didn’t really have any close enough friends to ask Natasha agreed to be her maid of honor.
Reluctantly.
And the Beta women only seemed to dislike the job more as she put on her dress, pastel pink.
Refraining from rolling her eyes, Natasha put on a brave face. As much as she didn’t like Becca she wasn’t gonna ruin her wedding.
She couldn’t help but not like the girl, though.
Her and Bucky were never close but they did hang out in the same friend circle in high school, and he was nothing but nice to her. Him and Steve always seemed so perfect, and it threw everyone for a loop when they saw him running out of the house crying at that party, only to be even more confused when Steve rushed after him shirtless and shouting apologies.
They all assumed he’d cheated, but it was only revealed with who later that night.
And ever since they started ‘officially’ dating Steve always brought her along when their friends hung out, she was like this annoying little voice that liked to put her opinion in wherever she liked.
But everyone put up with it (except Tony, who didn’t really give a shit if he hurt someone’s feelings and often told Becca to “Go shut the fuck up NO ONE CARES!”), because Steve loved her.
But Natasha was smart, and she knew when the Alpha was faking.
She didn’t doubt that Steve was attracted to Rebecca, didn’t doubt that he liked her either, but she knew, absolutely, that Steven Rogers was not in love with Rebecca Barnes.
Sam knew it too, but he was a supportive friend and told Natasha it wasn’t their place to interfere. The Alpha was a grown man and could make his own mistak- decisions.
So the Beta took a deep breathe, composed herself, and smiled.
A little less then two weeks until the wedding, she’s survived this long and could make it until then.
Sam was definitely gonna have to take her on a vacation after this.
.•O•.
Steve smiled as he walked behind the Omega, loving the way his hips swayed.
When they got to the shop he made sure to open the door for Bucky, smiling his charming smile at the brunette.
Bucky gave him a confused look before nodding his thanks.
So yeah, Bucky was still wary of him, not that Steve could blame the guy. But the Alpha was determined to get the Omega back in his life, in whatever way Bucky was willing to allow.
He not only missed how close they used to be romantically, he missed their friendship as well. Bucky was his closest friend in high school, he remembered the day the two met.
It was freshman year, five or six months into the school year already when Steve saw those dazzling bright eyes.
Bucky was the only male Omega at their school and he certainly turned heads, Steve was surprised to have only just seen the other.
He remembered how he tried to woo Bucky for the longest time, until he gave up and was grateful to at least be friends with the brunette.
Not five months into their sophomore year Bucky turned to him with a smile he’d never aimed at Steve before, and the Alpha just knew he needed to ask, at least one more time if the Omega would go out with him.
He never knew what changed Bucky’s mind, but he spent the next two years of their relationship pining over the beauty he was already dating.
Until a pair of mischievous dark blue eyes twinkled his way one day, and the course of his future changed drastically.
“Hey man? You okay, Steve?”
Sam had his hand on the Alpha’s shoulder, shaking slightly with his brows furrowed in concern.
Steve nodded out of his haze, smiling reassuringly at his friend.
“Yeah. Yeah I’m good.”
Sam looked at him in that way only Sam could, like he was reading your mind and seeing straight into your soul.
Fucking Sam, and his eye voodoo.
“Bucky’s here.” Is all the Beta said.
Steve nodded, “Yeah, he is.”
“You’re smiling Steve.”
The Alpha chuckled nervously, looking at his shoes in an attempt to get away from Sam’s gaze.
“Almost like you’re happy he’s here... are you?”
Steve looked back up.
“Why wouldn’t I be?” The Alpha countered.
“Just, you know, a lotta history is all.”
“Uhh, Yeah. There is.”
Literally looking into the deepest depths of his soul.
“Alright then.”
Fuck you Sam, and fuck your eye voodoo.
“Mhmm.”
The Beta walked away, glancing at Steve once more before turning to talk to Clint.
Steve took in a deep breath, holding it for a moment before letting it out.
He looked around at the black couches where every one was sitting, this was a fancy tux shop so of course it had fancy couches.
Bucky was sat next to his dad, and Steve watched as Tony slid in on the Omega’s left side.
He couldn’t hear what was being said, but he did see Tony embrace Bucky, the two clearly catching up.
A surge of guilt rippled through steve.
Sometimes he forgets that his friends used to be Bucky’s friends, and they probably missed him. It wasn’t fare that Steve got to keep them in his life, and he was surprised to see them stand by his side after everyone found out about him and Becca.
Not that they didn’t yell at him for it. A lot.
(Flashback)
”You cheated on him!” Natasha yelled.
“With his twin sister? Damn...” Clint said, his eyes wide as he took in the situation.
“You guys, I- I know what I did was wrong. Fuck- I know I messed up. I don’t deserve him, I- I didn’t deserve him, not then not now- but- but I-“ Steve struggled to say.
It had been two hours since he’d turned around and saw Bucky standing in that door way, two hours since he chased after him shirtless and in his dirty white socks, two hours since his palms pounded against that car window, begging to be let in.
It had been two hours since Bucky watched his boyfriend fuck his twin sister, and Steve felt like his world was ending.
“Steve, this is bad.” Sam had said, looking at his friend with his brows furrowed.
“I know, I know it’s-“ Steve couldn’t even figure out what to say, he felt like his head was swimming.
“Why would you?” Natasha had asked, standing from the fancy leather couch in Tony’s sitting room.
They were the only ones left at the party, steve wasn’t even sure where Rebecca had gone.
“What?” The Alpha asked, trying to clear his mind to make sense of what Nat was asking.
“Why would you sleep with Rebecca?” She asked again. “Of all people?”
Steve closed his eyes, taking in deep breathes.
“I- she just.” He let out a puff of air. “She just wouldn’t stop looking at me, and eventually... I don’t know she- she kissed me. And I stopped it, I swear I did! But the next time, when she- when she kissed me I-“ he cut off, shaking his head.
“I just remember how she touched my hand, and I don’t know- it was like I was hypnotized. And I- I didn’t stop it the next time. And when it escalated- I didn’t mean for it too! It just happened and now I’ve fucked everything up!”
(End)
Two gloved hands clapped in front of his face.
“Steven!”
Steve blinked away, shoving the hands out of his face. He gave an exhausted look at the only person besides his mother that called him Steven, one Wade Wilson.
“Wade.” Steve nodded his head in greeting.
“So,” Wade whispered. “Who’s Foxy over there?” The Beta whispered while nodding his head towards Bucky.
“Uh,” Steve cleared his throat. “That’s Bucky, he’s uh, Rebecca’s twin brother.”
“Wait, wait, wait. Bucky as in you’re ex boyfriend?”
“How did you-“
“Oh come on, you told me one night when you were drunk.”
“I did?”
Wade ignored him, clapping his hands again, and turned to the rest of the group.
“Alright all, lets get snazzy!”
.•O•.
Bucky smiled at Tony as the Alpha sat down on his left.
He was feeling a little weird agreeing to come with everyone else to the tux fitting, his only comfort was his dad sitting next to him on the fancy couch.
Seeing Tony was a welcome sight, however.
If there was one thing Bucky regretted about not coming home for seven years, it was not seeing any of his friends from school. He did feel bad about not keeping in touch, and he missed them a lot.
Of course he has new friends in LA, but he did wish he tried to keep them in his life, at least some of them.
Sam and Natasha had always been more of Steve’s friends, where as Tony and Clint gravitated towards both of them, and Bruce was more of Bucky’s friend than Steve’s.
When Bucky looked around he realized Bruce wasn’t here, the Omega was a little disappointed that he wouldn’t see his old friend.
“Oh my god, I can’t believe you’re here Bucky bear.” Tony said, bringing Bucky in for a hug.
“I missed you, Tony.” The Omega said against the others shoulder.
When Tony pulled back he gave a surprised look at the Omega’s rounded belly.
Bucky rubbed his hand over the bump, smiling warmly at the Alpha.
“Brought some extra carry on I see.” Tony smiled at him.
Tony Stark was never one for showing his emotions, usually his smiles were plastered on, but occasionally a genuine one would peek through.
“Yeah, precious cargo.”
“So who’s the guy I’m gonna have to beat up, huh? How big is he? Bet I could take ‘im.”
Bucky laughed, shoving Tony lightly in the shoulder.
“I think he could mess you up, Stark. And besides, when have you ever been in a fight?”
“Well,” Tony held up a finger, a long rant surly on its way.
“And the time Clint slapped you in junior year doesn’t count.” Bucky cut in.
Just then a certain blond Beta appeared, poking his head over the couch between Tony and Bucky.
“Yeah because I won that fight in seconds.” The Beta said, proud smirk displayed on his face.
“Yeah right, Barton. You can’t just bitch slap someone when they’re trying to dance on a table, what kind of barbarian-“
“Just because you couldn’t hold your drinks and decided to give everyone a little strip show-“
“Enough.” Bucky said, holding up his hand to stop the two’s bickering. If he hadn’t cut in they’d be here for hours, seems like these two hadn’t changed a bit. Well, besides Tony’s artistic (weird...?) goatee and Clint’s scruffy face.
“Guess you two still haven’t grown up.”
“Never will.” Clint said, giving Bucky that classic laid back smirk and lazy chuckle.
“So, as I was asking-“ Tony started, only to be cut off by Clint.
“Who knocked ya up? Do I need to kill somebody?” Bucky was pretty sure Clint would, if he asked.
The Omega shook his head, happy to see their protectiveness hadn’t wavered over the years. Bucky would always be the sweet Omega that needed looking after to them.
“No need. He’ll actually be here on Thursday, so you’ll get to meet him then.”
“What’s his name?” Clint asked, resting his elbows against the back of the couch to lean in closer.
“Oh, it’s-“
Bucky was cut off by his phone ringing.
“Speak of the devil.” The Omega said, holding up his phone to show the two.
“Oooh, what a hottie.” Tony said at the same time Clint spoke, “Dayuuuum.”
“I’ll be right back.” Bucky excused himself, standing from the couch and walking towards the front of the shop.
“Hello?”
“Hey, whatareyouuptoo?” His Alpha asked, and Bucky could hear the smile in his voice.
“At a tux fitting, and yes, it’s as fun as it sounds.” Bucky smiled at the chuckled he received.
”I just wanted to check on you, how’s baby?”
“Perfect, missed you this morning though.”
“Oh yeah? Were they mad?”
“Outraged... Can’t wait till you’re here. I could use some cuddles, and maybe a kiss.”
“Soon. When I get there I’ll give you all the cuddles and kisses you could want. Promise.”
“I should get back, I was hanging out with some of my old friends.”
“Of course, I love you.”
“Love you too.” Bucky whispered back, not able to wipe away his small smile as he hung up.
When the Omega turned around he let out a small gasp, surprised to see Steve standing there.
“Oh,” Bucky laughed, holding a hand to his chest. “You scared me.”
“Sorry. We’re uh, we’re done.” The Alpha said, a small frown on his face.
“Okay.”
.•O•.
When they got home from the fitting the girls still hadn’t returned.
Bucky walked with his dad toward the steps up to the front door of their house, he was smiling as he thought about the plans he and his friends had made before parting ways. They planned to go out on Friday, that way everyone could meet his Alpha. Bucky told Steve he was invited as well as Rebecca when he caught sight of the Alpha’s frown, he didn’t think it was fare to not include the couple, considering the only reason all of his friends were in town was for their wedding.
Yeah, he was still mad at the pair, but the only way to move on was to rush head first into it. And Bucky was never one for turning down a challenge, no matter how hard it may be.
He heard his dad clear his throat, and glanced up to see what was wrong.
George’s eyesight point straight towards the steps leading up to the front door, and Bucky gasped when he saw who was sitting there.
“Oh my god you’re here!” The Omega ran towards his Alpha, who stood from the steps he was sitting on.
“You’re not supposed to be here until Thursday.” Bucky said, voice muffled by his Alpha’s shoulder.
His boyfriend spun him around, planting a kiss on his cheek.
“I got an earlier flight, couldn’t leave you all by yourself.”
Bucky didn’t care right now who stood and watched as he kissed his Alpha, all that mattered right now was him and his boyfriend. The baby seemed excited as well, kicking and moving around inside Bucky.
The Omega was unaware of the burning jealousy in the eyes of the blond Alpha who stood behind him.
