📸A Harriet Cains update

[jamesbuch-anon]

Bucky couldn't help but break out into a smile. One of the many things he loved about Steve was how sweet and romantic he was. He nodded and have his hand a gentle squeeze. "God I love you so much." He mumbled before bringing Steve's hand up to kiss his knuckles. "I want that too. To... Court and get married and live our lives together." This conversation almost didn't feel real, like Bucky was dreaming and he was going to wake up to find none of this happened.

"I gotta tell ya, Stevie... I don't remember how to date." He admitted. "It's been literal decades since I dated anyone, and it was only ever women. And then when I was with Hydra... They did things to me that I don't think I can say just yet." Even though he was withholding information, his eyes shined with the trauma that his body held onto. "That being said, I do want to work up to being physical with you as well. I know that with guys it's different anyway, so we'll probably have to do some preparation."

"But I love you, honey. I want to do this with you. Let's date."

Steve swallowed thickly as his heart pounded in his chest.  He had dreamed of hearing those words from Bucky for so long and now it was happening it felt like a dream.  He wanted to launch himself across the table and start kissing him.  But - there needed to be some self control.  Steve had only tried dating a couple of times, and it had always been women.  He wasn’t sure if Bucky had been with men, but if he had to guess, he would say no.

He does reach over the table and take his hand though.  “I want that.  I want…”

He paused, gathering his thoughts.  Every time he’d imagined them together, it was just them already in the relationship.  Back in the day his fantasies often involved sneaking around but now… now they didn’t have to but how were they going to do this? 

He ran his thumb over the back of Bucky’s knuckles.  “We missed out on so much time.  The world stole it from us.  But - I don’t want to just rush into the physical part.  I want to court you, honey.  What do you think?”

"Of course, Stevie." Bucky murmured softly before taking the seat across from Steve. He nervously fidgeted with his fork and decided to take a sip of his coffee as well. He needed something to do to occupy his thoughts.

Then Steve finally spoke and Bucky gave him his undivided attention. His heart raced in his chest as the blonde spoke and he swallowed thickly with emotion. He hesitantly reached out to touch Steve's hand. "It's okay, I understand. I kept how I felt from you, too. You know how things were back when we were kids." He let out a shaky breath and decided to be brave and say the words he felt for a long time.

"I love you too, Steve. More than anything. I want us to be together too." His voice came out shaky. He felt vulnerable, and when he felt vulnerable, usually bad things happened. But he had just confessed his love to Steve, and Steve confessed his love back.

@steven-g-rogers

Steve dressed, trying neither to rush or dawdle.  He needed a moment to process everything that had just happened.  He had so many emotions running through him right now. Fear.  Excitement.  Joy.  Confusion.  He still wasn’t sure this wasn’t a dream or something.  Really, the only reason he thought he was dreaming and that Bucky wasn’t pranking him was because he couldn’t believe that Bucky would be that cruel.

He dried himself off and dressed in dark blue cargo pants, and one of his compression shirts.  He wasn’t sure if he’d end up making it into work now, but he didn’t know if dressing like he was planning on not going into work would send the wrong signals.

He was well and truly overthinking this.

He came out to the living room to an apartment smelling of coffee, bacon, and maple syrup.  He couldn’t help but smile.  He always loved when Bucky cooked for him.  He took a seat when Bucky pulled out the chair and when the brunet’s hand ran over his bicep, he shivered and his muscles rippled in the wake of his finger. 

“It looked amazing,” he said.  “Thank you.”

He picked up his coffee and took a sip, trying to figure out how to carefully say, BUCKY BARNES I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU AND I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AND I WANT US TO BE TOGETHER.

He still didn’t have the words when he set his cup back down. “I don’t know what to say.  So I guess I’ll just say how I feel.  But please know, none of this comes with pressure.  I’m sorry I kept this from you.  I just thought - if you knew you’d feel uncomfortable doing things like sharing a bed.  And I never did any of that out of some sexual desire.  It was just that you’re my friend and you needed me.”

He swallowed and let out a breath. “But I am in love with you.  I always have been.  If you feel that way too and you want to be together.  I want that.  I really do.”

Bucky couldn't help but laugh, pure joy radiating from him as Clint kissed him over and over again. He stood up with Clint and easily picked him up. It was a little awkward, since the blonde was taller than him, but he didn't care. He held his boyfriend-- no, fiancé-- close as the two kissed. In the background, Kobik made confetti fall from the ceiling and danced around in it with Lucky.

"God, I love you so much." Bucky kissed Clint again, hugging him close as he let him down on the ground again. He then picked Kobik up, who was giggling up a storm and hugged her close. "And I love you, little soldier. Thank you for helping us become a family."

@barnesandbarton

Clint couldn’t help but beam when Bucky said yes, and he pulled him down into a deep and passionate kiss.  He was aware of Kobik clapping and Lucky running around, but he was so wrapped up with how happy and in love he felt that all he could focus on was Bucky’s lips on his.

He hummed when Bucky felt back, and was just considering what they should do now.  They already had dinner, so it’s not like they could go out to dinner to celebrate.  They didn’t have champagne and he definitely didn’t think it was ethical to ask a four year old to make alcohol for them.

Then Bucky got on his knee.  Clint hadn’t expected that at all.  They were already engaged.  The fact that Bucky wanted to propose too was just about the most romantic thing that had ever happened to Clint.

He teared up as Bucky spoke, his heart thrumming in his chest.  “Yes, you idiot.  Of course I will!” he said, kissing him all over again.

WINTER SOLDIER in Marvel Rivals 'Thunderbolts*' Costume

[jamesbuch-anon]

Bucky felt overwhelmed, but in the best of ways. He watched as Clint knelt down in front of him and let himself smile at the scene. Clint knew how to be romantic, which sometimes Bucky felt like he had trouble with. But with Clint, it was a little bit easier.

"Yes, Clint, of course I'll marry you." Bucky whispered, pulling his now fiance into a kiss. Kobik cheered in the background, jumping around with joy while Lucky ran around in circles. Alpine watched the chaos with disdain, but was purring softly.

"Alright, it's my turn now." Bucky said once he pulled back from the kiss. He took a deep breath, nervous, as he knelt down with Clint. He looked unsure at the other man, but spoke from the heart.

"I love you, Clint. You're a pain in my ass, and you do stupid stuff that both annoy me and make me laugh till I cry. I always knew I was going to get married, but after I came back, I didn't think it was a possibility anymore. Not until I met you. And now here we are, with a kid. I want to see what else the future has in store for us. Will you marry me, Clint Barton?"

"Say yes! Say yes!" Kobik watched from the sidelines as she hugged Lucky, both of them watching the scene with eager eyes.

@barnesandbarton

Clint watched on beaming as their daughter made up the two rings for them.  She really was so impressive it was scary.  He loved that she wanted to help them with this and for them to be a family.  He was sure she was going to like the wedding planning more than even Bucky or Clint.

“They look beautiful, Kobik,” Clint said. “Thank you so much.”

He wrapped his arms around her and cuddled her, kissing her cheek.  “You’re the best.”

He took the ring for Bucky and took a deep breath.  “Okay.  Okay. I’m doing this properly okay, Buck?  Don’t laugh at me.”

He got down on one knee in front of him.  “Bucky Barnes, I love you so damn much.  I can’t believe we never thought about this before, but I know this is right.  I always knew I was gonna spend the rest of my life with you, so what do you say, shall we make it official?  Will you marry me?”

YES the Thunderbolts have a fantastic team as family dynamic, yes they are living in Avengers tower, yes history is repeating itself and 2012 tower fics are so back. BUT!

instead of "Alexei eating poptarts" or "Yelena in the vents", we must come up with new headcanons and make history

Bob always does normal domestic chores, often getting in the way of important missions and spy business. "All I'm saying is Bucky is our best sniper" "It would be a much quieter assassination if I just slipped into the condo and cut his—" "Hey sorry guys, anyone have laundry? I'm doing a load"

Yelena and her guinea pig always eat meals together at the dining table. Everyone has their Chinese food or barbeque, meanwhile the rodent is loudly munching on a salad right beside them

Bucky is the mom and always keeps them on track. "Ava you have a dentist appointment in the morning, and bring Bob so they can add him to the insurance. Lena how was therapy? Alexei, I said no vodka until dinner"

Alexei is always coming up with new promotional ideas for the team. Cartoon tv show, cereal, toothpaste flavour...every day he thinks he's come up with the next big thing. Whenever they actually get put into production (Wheaties) he collects and saves it, and won't let anyone use a different product. (He threw out Yelena's frosted flakes and it took both Bucky and John to get her to stop attacking him)

Ava likes to phase and sneak attack her teammates at random. She claims it's for training but really she just thinks it's funny hearing them scream

John gets blamed for everything, even if it isn't his fault. Especially if it isn't his fault: "who ate the last bagel?" "John." "Where's my hair straightener?" "John had it." "Whose turn is it to unload the dishwasher?" "Johnnnn"

“... I already talked to him and it went poorly.”

[jamesbuch-anon]

Do you know how fucked up your team has to be for Bucky Barnes to be the most stable member

[jamesbuch-anon]

Nelia playfully nudged Clint back and muttered to herself as she raced to get back to the front of the track. She laughed at Bucky's comment and glanced over to him. "I can see that. Clint can turn Mario into that auto theft game."

The year had given her time to get more proficient in her English, as well as her ASL. While she was getting comfortable with other members of the team now, she still had moments where it felt impossible to speak, which her therapist assured her was alright and normal.

Besides that, she also found herself feeling more drawn to them in a... more than platonic way. Which absolutely freaked her out at first, afraid it would mean that she would lose their friendship. She had talked it out with her therapist, and decided it was okay to have a crush on them, even stay friends despite the crush. That people can still be friends even if they find each other attractive. That made her feel better, but she still found herself looking at them a little longer that she should, enjoying sitting close to them. But it was alright, they were just friends. They could be friends.

"Watch out, Bucky, I'm gonna..." Her character (she always chose Waluigi, thinking his sound effects were hilarious) dropped a banana peel and she laughed. "Oops." She stuck her tongue out playfully.

@barnesandbarton

The idea of napping in their apartment sounded perfect. Nelia sighed dramatically and nodded. Please, she signed with a soft smile. She followed Clint to his and Bucky's shared apartment, Lucky trotting along beside them. As soon as they arrived, Nelia greeted Bucky and made herself at home on their couch, patting the cushion next to her to signal Lucky to join her. She easily fell asleep as she laid with the dog, her favorite people in the room with her.

~time skip~

Over the year, the three of them grew closer as friends. Nelia found ways to bond with them one on one, and also together. With Bucky, she enjoyed cooking and baking with him. It was fun for her to share some French cuisine with him, some of her favorite meals from back home. As well as learning about some of Bucky's favorite foods and helping Clint make them for Bucky.

Nelia had gotten her own service dog from an organization that generously was given to her at a great price. A black lab that the organization had named Maxine. So she spent a lot of time with Clint and walking Maxine and Lucky together. Besides that, Nelia found herself enjoying being rather mischievous with the blond. Playfully teasing Bucky with him, getting into lighthearted competitions with him. It had been a long time since she was able to be playful like that, and she loved it.

Together, the trio did a lot of things. Played video games, went to farmers markets, parks, Coney Island. Her therapist suggested she get into a sport, so she took up tennis. She enjoyed getting the boys to join her in the game, usually getting competitive, but some lighthearted play was also fun.

That particular day, Nelia was lounging in the common room with the dogs and the two men, playing Mario Kart. "Putain!" She groaned as her cart got shoved off the track. "You two are jerks!" She said with a whine, leaning forward with narrow eyes, intensely focused on the game.

Nelia took Clint's hand in hers, holding it for a moment. She had grown to enjoy the affection from Clint, and Bucky too when he was willing to give it. She knew the other soldier was a bit more reserved with touch, which was totally understandable given their situations.

"That is definitely okay, Mr. Barton. I'm glad that Nelia has the support of you and Sergeant Barnes." Nelia felt her cheeks warm a little. She had mentioned them in her therapy sessions a few times, and now she hoped that it didn't look like she was talking about them all the time, like she had a crush on them. Which to be fair, she did like them. A lot. But the two men were in a relationship.

The therapy session went by smoothly, Nelia being able to rely on Clint to help her get her words out. It was very helpful and she found his presence and Lucky's to be comforting.

As always, she had to talk about some of the things she was dealing with mentally, which was a lot harder. The anxiety, the nightmares, extreme guilt among other things. While she was praised for getting out of the house and making friends, her therapist wanted her to do more, something Nelia did not like. She felt like she already did so much. She was recommended to get a hobby, and to look into a service animal after seeing how much she enjoyed having Lucky around. That was definitely something Nelia could get on board with. A hobby, she just wasn't sure about.

After the hour was up, she scheduled another one for a few days later and leaned against Clint for a moment when they were alone again.

Thank you, she signed with a small smile. She really was grateful for everything he and Bucky did for her.
