One Night Stand (A Bucky Barnes Fanfiction)

The Date pt. 2

The ding of the elevator had us breaking apart with great reluctance. I paused to take her in, her flushed skin, lips swollen from my kissing, pupils blown wide, and her chest rising and falling quickly with pants, but she was as beautiful as ever. I took her free hand as her other pulled down her dress and fluffed her curls. I hoped that we could make it to my bedroom without interruption, the common room lights were dimmed which I took as a good sign, maybe everyone was already in their room for the night. I stepped off the elevator, her right behind me, making a beeline for my room.

"Oh hey guys."

Shit.

It was Tony Stark's voice. I turned to see him sitting on the large couch in the common room. And he wasn't alone.

Thor was beside him, a large bowl of popcorn on his lap. Natasha and Clint sat next to each other on the love seat nearby, Sam and Steve were sitting on the floor, backs leaning on the couch on either side of Tony and Thor's legs. We had walked in on movie night. I could see the Netflix menu open and waiting for them to pick something, Natasha was holding the remote meaning it was her turn to pick.

Jade tensed nervously beside me, her back straightening, stepping closer to my side as she pulled down her dress self consciously.

"Back from your date so soon?" Tony asked tauntingly, reaching into the popcorn bowl in Thor's lap and popping some into his mouth with a tilt of his head.

I scowled at him. "We ate fast."

"Good, you're just in time for movie night. Hi Jade," Tony continued, setting his sights on her and waving.

"Hi...everyone..." Jade replied, waving timidly in return.

There were murmurs of greetings accompanied by a few waves.

"Lady Jade! It is good to see you again. You look well. Very well actually," Thor commented, eyes roaming Jade, a large smile on his face.

I fought the urge to step in front of her and shield her from his view as Jade blushed. "Thank you, Thor."

"Will you be joining us?" Sam asked with a knowing smile, looking pointedly right at me.

Steve eyed Jade with raised eyebrows. "Uh, I'm pretty sure Bucky and Jade have....better things to do than join us for movie night," he piped up quickly, attempting to give us an out.

"Yeah, we do," I said finally, nodding and stepping backwards toward my room. "So if you'll excuse us-."

"Nonsense! They can join us for one movie. It's a time honored tradition-."

Clint scoffed, rolling his eyes. "We've done this like five times, Tony."

"Still traditional those five times," Tony shot Clint a glare. He looked back to Jade, patting the empty space beside him and offering her a pleasant smile. "Jade, please, won't you and Bucky join us?"

My blood was boiling at this point. Tony was just screwing with me like he always had with his taunts and jokes and 'nicknames'. He knew full well what Jade and I intended to do, how long we'd been waiting, everyone did, and his goal was to interrupt. I tried to hide my irritation, not wanting him to see that he was getting a rise out of me. I was not going to let him ruin this night for me. I'd leave it up to Jade.

I looked down at her, finding nervousness all over her face, her bottom lip caught between her teeth. She hesitated, looking up at me with questioning eyes and arched eyebrows. I knew she was waging war with her own politeness, she wouldn't want to refuse, for fear of being perceived as rude. That was the kind of person she was. I gave a very small shake of my head, one that I hoped wasn't too noticeable by our audience, to let her know she didn't have to say yes. The last thing that I wanted to do at the moment was endure two hours of movie night when I could take her into my bedroom and show her how much I wanted- no needed- her in a variety of ways and multiple times. She smiled apologetically, I knew her answer before she spoke.

"Who could pass up movie night with the Avengers?" She shrugged, looking back at Tony with a forced smile.

Tony smiled, wide and triumphant, winking at me and beckoning her over.

I was going to kill him.
