When They Meet
He gasped, feeling the blots of electricity enter his body. Bucky spasmed, shaking and shivering, but he knew it for good. Or at least he thought, thought that killing those people was for the better. He felt blank again, normal. Human. Then he was shaken awake by Steve his best friend. So it was OK, ‘it's OK’, he thought to himself. He sat up, looking at his standard room. He was currently getting ready to move to the Avenger’s Tower. Steve smiles at him,”Ready to meet Peter?” Bucky freezes. He stiffens, barely looking up. “I-I forgot…...What if he doesn't like me….the only time we met was during……”, Steve smiles at him again. “He’ll love you….” Bucky nods, looking at him, tilting his head to the side. “Why are you still smiling you creep!” Bucky laughs, Steve laughs too. Bucky can't keep Peter out of his thoughts. The poor boy, probably has nightmares about me. And what I did. He suppresses his own shiver to accompany the memories. It was his fault he tell himself, but that never works. He still did those things, still killed Howard, and his wife Maria. Along with many others. He keeps coming back, the soldier. They did fix some of it, the part where he has words to activate this ‘soldier’ mode, and the killing. But he still ran, and fought. Like today when Steve scared the shit out of him. And it kicked in, he started running scanning for exit, body acting on instinct. He runs faster when he hears footsteps following. He finds the closest exit, which happens to be the back, so it's easy to make his escape. The scans the surrounding area, heading for the trees. This will let him slip away, and there will be no helicopter searches. He looks behind himself, when he sees him. Its Steve, his brain supplies. He stops, and chances a look into his eyes. The storm brewing on the inside looks like an ocean, they sparkle and twinkle. Hec blinks as the storm clears his mind away. He falls to the ground, tears slipping from his grey eyes. He did it again, but in his defence it wasn't his fault. He stands up, a fresh glare pointed at Steve. Steve smiles, but it's looks like he about to run. ”Ummmmm…..sorry….” He glares at him harder. “STEVEN GRANT ROGERS!!!” Steve flinches, ducking his head. ”sorry, i'll drive you to the tower, and anywhere you want to, just don't kill me.” Bucky smiles, ruffling his hair. “That's more like it.” Bucky starts to walk back, Steve follows eventually. That’s how they wind up at the tower two hours late. Both alphas were supposed be here earlier, but Steve scared him and that delayed them. They walk to the elevator, and wait for it to come to the ground level. As they walk in, J.A.R.V.I.S. starts up. “Which floor, sirs?” he inquiries. Bucky replies before Steve can, “Common area.” Steve looks surprised, but doesn't say anything. As they walk in, Steve laughs. Peter is still asleep, and he is covered by a blanket and a pillow under his head. Bucky remains silent, watching the teen sleep, he looks so peaceful, and cute he thought. He shook his head, and stares at him for a bit longer. This omega he thought, is so beautiful. The perfect lips, small frame, brown hair, and…..he trailed off as Peter opened his eyes. They were blue too, but so much deeper than Stevie’s they were like seeing the blue sky and the ocean and the smallest hint of grey. It was breathtaking, and breath take it did. He sucked in a breath, and continued to stare. Peter stared back, looking into Bucky's eyes. Neither noticed the others gathering, watching the stare off. It ended when Tony strolled past and ran into Steve's arms, Steve whisked him about. They kissing and laughing and smiling. Like they haven't seen each other in decades. Peter looked away and blushed. Bucky thought it was so sweet and cute, watching his face get so hot and red. The way he’d turn away, to try to hide. Bucky smiled at him, but turned away. ‘Stop it!!!” he told himself, it's just his alpha side. So he walked to the kitchen, trying to clear his head. ‘Omega’ his head chanted. His alpha liked Peter, but he wouldn't burden the poor teen with his problems. When his head cleared he walked into the elevator, J.A.R.V.I.S. piped up again. “Where to Sir?” Bucky thought about it, “The roof,” he stated. The elevator was the only way up to the roof so he’d be okay. Or so he thought, until he saw the one thing he wanted to get away from. Peter hopped up on the roof, Shaking his head. “He doesn’t like you, you are bound to be alone…...like they said i’m is supposed to be.”, Bucky thought about this. “Who doesn't like you?” he asked. Peter looked up startled by the alpha’s presence. “Oh…..ummmm….no one….its nothing.” Bucky cringed, he didn't blame the kid for not liking him, so it's OK. He thought. Bucky stared at him again, but snapped out of it. “Well you can sit…..” gestured to the empty spot beside him on the roof. Peter sat down next to him. “So what happened this morning when we were supposed to meet?” Peter asked, looking at Bucky. Bucky looked back, “Stevie scared the shit out of me…..” Peter stared for a moment, before laughing hard. “What the super scary Winter Soldier got scared?!?!?” Peter laughed, and Bucky grumbled. “It's not funny, i was still tired when he woke me.” But Bucky smiled, he liked when Peter laughed, he looked so at ease, which better on him than worry. So Bucky laughed along, “Yes, i got scared OK. He jumped out of nowhere.” Peter looked up at him, they were both smiling, and all seemed good. That was at least until Steve and Tony came crashing in, kissing and groping each other. Bucky and Peter gaged, running to the elevator. They were laughing again when they reached the Common area. “Wow too busy sucking each others faces off to notice us!” Peter said and laughed. Bucky laughed too, because it was true. When they settled down, they were watching a movie. Everybody was there except for Steve and Tony. Who now presumably playing rabbits. Peter and Bucky sat next to each other, Clint and Pietro were on the loveseat, every now and then kissing the other, and Natasha sat beside Wanda. When Steve and Tony did come in the common area, Steve's face was flushed and Tony had a limped walk. “Rabbits” Peter said in a cough, and everyone started to laugh. Steve blushed, and smirked. “You're just jealous that you can't be screwing likes Rabbits with Barnes.” Peter turned red, and Bucky glared. “Why would you mention it if you didn't care?” Bucky asked. Tony looked at him. “Well i always tease Peter….” Bucky stared,”Why?” Tony looked like a deer caught in headlights. “I-I ummmm…..n-not sure…” he sat down next to Steve. Bucky looked back at Peter who was now smiling. “Thanks.” Bucky smiles back, “Welcome.”
