Ya know the scene in The Boys when they're singing "We didn't start the fire" and M.M. is like "this ain't a road trip"
I like to imagine Clint and Y/N doing this and annoying Nat.
Or better yet Y/N and Sam singing this and at the lyrics "JFK blown away, what more do I have to say" Steve looks at Bucky for a second before turning the radio off in anger
A lazy grin hung on his face, it was annoying the shit out of me. ‘Why were you out drinking on your own?’ I asked while I pushed his arm off of my shoulders and took a step away from him. ‘Needed some time to think,’ he said while he shrugged, ‘and I didn’t want to stay at the compound so I went downtown and I passed Max’s bar, went in and stayed a little longer then I had planned.’ He gave me a confused look when I took a step aside. ‘Did I do something wrong because you wanted to talk?’ I sighed when he asked the question, still not a hundred percent sure about what I was going to tell him. ‘No you didn’t do anything wrong,’ I said and gave him an assuring smile, ‘but we need to talk.’ The confused look didn’t leave his face when I finished talking. ‘Talk about what?’ He lifted one of his eyebrows and stopped walking. ‘Us.’
It was a whisper when the words left my lips and I wasn’t even sure that he heard me. We stopped in the middle of a boulevard, it was still pretty crowded despite the time. An older couple gave us a weird look when they passed us,we abruptly stopped in front of them and they weren’t amused. ‘Sorry,’ I said with an apologizing smile when they passed before I turned around to face Bucky. ‘What do you mean?’ I ran my fingers through my hair. The last couple of days I figured out that it would be easier to tell him about the pregnancy if I knew how he felt about me for real, not the cheeky sneaking around behind everyones back.
‘Look, it has been fun the last couple of months, that isn’t the issue,’ Before I could finish my sentence he interrupted me. “Then what the hell is the problem?’ I gave him a warning look. ‘Let me finish,’ I said calmly, ‘this isn’t what I want, this isn’t what I had planned for myself at the age of twenty-six.’ He tried his best to stay calm and understand what I was saying but the concern grew with the minute. ‘What the hell are you talking about? I thought that you wanted this as much as I wanted, I thought that you were having fun too?’ A sad smile spread across my face when he spoke. ‘I’m not saying that I don’t like spending time with you, I’m telling you that this,’ while I said it I pointed between the two of us, ‘isn’t enough for me.’
He took a step away from me. ‘I spend most of my life fighting without realising what I was doing and you’re the one telling me that this isn’t what you had planned out?’ He had an angry look on his face, no not angry it was a look full of disappointment. ‘I fought hundreds of battles that weren’t mine to fight in the first place, I’m over a hundred years old for Christ’s sake and life isn’t going according to your plan?’. He shook his head. ‘Well this wasn’t what I had planned for myself in the nineteen forties either but I’m making the best out of it.’ Okay, he was mad and disappointed. ‘Buck, I’m not saying that this doesn’t mean anything to me,’ I said while I took a step to close the space between us. ‘I don’t want to buy a house and get married and have a kid right now.’ While I was talking I tried to lock eyes with him but he avoided my gaze, ‘I’m just saying that I’m worth more than being just an option to someone who probably gets offered a lot of options when he goes out and I don’t mean that as an insult but like twenty minutes ago that lady at the bar who was waiting for her husband? She was all over you.’ He raised his eyebrows.
‘Are you jealous? Is that the problem?’ He was kidding right? ‘No I’m not jealous but I don’t want to share the guy I like with others, I’m done sneaking around and only get a quarter of your time. I want all of it or none of it.’ He was getting under my skin and I was losing my patience. ‘Look, if you’re not in for a relationship that’s fine by me,” I said while I took a step back when he didn’t answer me immediately, ‘just say something.’ He ran his fingers through his hair, he did that when he was frustrated. ‘What are you actually asking me to do y/n?’ He gave me a sad smile. ‘You want us to have an exclusive relationship, is that it?’ I nodded. ‘Just for your information, I haven’t been sleeping around with other girls if that’s what you wanted to know.’ I felt stupid for saying that he could have been sleeping around, deep down I knew that he wasn’t that type of guy. ‘You want to know why we are just sleeping around and nothing more?’ Auwtch, him saying it like that hurted. I nodded. ‘We only have fun when we’re together, the time we don’t spend with each other is exactly a fairytale. I go to therapy to get my mind clear and to make peace with my past, I’ve nightmares and panic attacks, I get angry.’ He didn’t look at me when he spoke, he stared behind me. ‘I’m not an easy person to live with at the moment and I didn’t think there was anyone who could handle all the trauma. That’s why we’re only sleeping together.’ With those last words he locked eyes with me. ‘And I thought it was working for the both of us but apparently not.’ I definitely wasn’t going to drop the bomb that I was pregnant now. ‘I’m sorry Bucky but this isn’t working for me anymore.’ I mumbled, ‘it hasn’t been working for a while actually. I just want to be honest with you.’ Honest. If you were being honest you would tell him about the fact that there was a kid cooking up in your oven that was half his but no you were straight up lying to his face.
He was silent. ‘I need to think about what you said.’
Oh, hello there! Seeing as the virus has kept me home bound (screams into a black void), I’ve decided to plan out the next five tattoos I’ll be getting, the second I can get them. Have decided to make my entire right arm a sleeve of Avenger Watercolor Tattoos.
I got my Hawkeye one done years ago. It’s a little more geometric than the new ones, but seeing as he’s my favorite, I’ll let it slide. (it needs a little touch up in some places, but has maintained nicely!
Today, I’ve made the rest. Behold my morning’s work!
And, because my wife gets what she wants, here’s Bucky!

Summary:
The Witcher AU
Clint’s life was relatively simple. He killed monsters, he got paid, he ate and he moved on before he ran into either a black clad or a witch hunter. He had about 3 friends in the world, if he counted his horse, and he was fine with that. Life was simple, until one day he heard about King Radovid V of Redania hosting a contest that could earn him quite a hefty sum.
A nice little competition, together with the price money, was all he had wanted but suddenly he found himself in a mismatched group setting out on a quest against a Giant. And destiny seamed to have its eyes on them.
‘I never thought that the two of you kept hooking up after New Years, thought it was a ‘let’s get this awkward sex tension out of the way’ kind of thing.’ Tony laughed while he shook his head. At first it was like that and I was happy that the sexual tension was gone but one one night stand led to another and before we both knew it we were catched up in a friends with benefits kind of thing. ‘Yeah one thing led to another,’ I mumbled, ‘it was never my intention to start this whole friends with benefits kind of situation but here we are.’ Tony walked over and put his hand on my shoulder. ‘It’s going to be alright kid, you will figure this out and I got your back no matter what.’ I rolled my eyes. ‘Stop calling me kid Tone, makes you sound like an old man.’

I was sitting in the kitchen at the compound. A couple of days had passed and I had spent most of my time with Tony, figuring out how I was going to tell Bucky and if I was going to tell him to begin with. ‘What’s on your mind y/n?’ Sam waved his hand in front of my face to get me out of my daydream. ‘Hm?’ A grin spread on his face. ‘Who were you thinking about y/l/n?’ He wiggled his eyebrows while he had that boyish grin on his face that lit up the room. ‘I met this guy at a club downtown when I went out with Tony a couple of nights ago and I gave him my number but he hasn’t called me,’ I lied while I gave him the most disappointed look I could come up with. ‘You sure that you gave him the right number?’ he asked while he lifted one of his eyebrows, ‘can’t imagine a guy not calling you after a night out.’ He gave me a sweet smile, I just knew that he was teasing me. ‘Right?’ He walked over to the fridge and pulled a carton of milk out of it and started drinking straight out of it. ‘Dude, take a glass that’s disgusting.’ He laughed out loud. ‘Chill, it’s almost empty so I was planning on finishing it and throwing it out.’ I shook my head. ‘Anyways, have you seen Bucky? We have a mission coming up next week and I wanted to talk him through the plan,’ Sam said while he folded the millbox and threw it in the garbage bin. ‘Nope, haven’t seen him.’ That wasn’t a lie, I hadn’t seen him the last couple days because I was avoiding him. ‘Well, if you see him, tell him that we need to go over our tactics for the mission.’ I nodded. ‘I got a feeling that you’ll find him faster than I will.’ And without saying another word he walked out of the kitchen leaving me with my jaw dropped, confused. Did he know?
***
I paced through my bedroom. ‘Can we talk’ The three words had been looking at me for the last couple of minutes. I had typed the text message but I didn’t had the courage to press send. ‘Come on y/n, just send the message already.’ I mumbled to myself while running my hands through my hair. I gave the text message one last look before I pressed send and threw the phone on my bed. ‘There’s no going back now,’ I mumbled to myself. A couple of minutes passed before you could hear the buzzing sound of a text. ‘OK? I’m down town having a drink at Max’s come over we can talk here.’ Great, I could bring the news at a bar downtown. What was he even doing there, he barely went out without Sam or Steve and I knew for a fact that they were here at the compound. ‘I guess we’re going to town.’ I mumbled to myself while I grabbed my keys and swung my purse around my shoulder before I headed out of my room. ‘Going out? I can drop you off if you need a ride?’ Sam raised his eyebrow when he saw me passing by. I’ve got some stuff that I need to get sorted out,’ I said when I walked towards the front door. ‘See you later, if I need something I’ll call you okay?’ He nodded and raised his hand as a goodbye. I didn’t bother to say another thing and slammed the door shut behind me. It was half past nine in the evening and it was getting cold, I started to think that I better had changed my outfit before I left but it was too late for that now. Max’s bar was a fifteen minute walk from the compound, we had hung out there before so I knew where it was located. I quickened my walking pace, I wasn’t planning on walking longer then I had to.
Fifteen minutes later I entered the place and I immediately saw him sitting at the bar. He was sitting with his back towards me and was talking to the person next to him. I hesitated whether to walk up to him or not when I saw the woman he was talking to. She was pretty, very pretty. She had a darker skin tone, long dark hair and big, dark eyes. She had drawn the perfect winged eyeliner and had a soft lipstick color on. The dress she was wearing hugged her in all the right places. Stunning. Before I could turn around the women locked eyes with me and I felt caught. Bucky turned around and I raised my hand as a greeting while I walked towards them. ‘Hi, I didn’t know you were out with someone,’ I said in an apologizing tone when I looked from him to the woman and back. ‘It can wait, we can talk about it another time. It isn't that important.’ I scratched the back of my neck when he didn’t answer immediately. ‘Hi, nice to meet you,’ the woman said with a kind smile. Even a kind smile, damn it. I took a step back pointing over my shoulder towards the door. ‘I’ll just go and I’ll text you tomorrow.’ Bucky shook his head. ‘No it’s fine, this is Marry we started talking when we saw we were both waiting for someone.’ He grabbed my wrist when he saw me taking a step back. ‘We can talk, I’ve got time, don't worry about it doll.’ Marry nodded her head. ‘Yeah, Mike is going to be here any second now so don’t worry about it.’ she said while she gave me a smile. ‘He wanted to get changed after dinner so he went home but he’ll be here any minute now.’ Who the hell was Mike? And since when did he call me doll?
I shook my head to clear my mind. ‘You wanna head out and go for a walk or do you need a drink?’ If you only knew, I thought to myself. ‘I think it’s better that we go for a walk James,’ I said and gave him a small smile. ‘Fine, whatever you want.’ He said and got up from the barstool. He put on his leather jacket and gave Marry a smile. ‘Well, I hope you and Mike have a lovely evening.’ He said while he put some money on the bar. ‘Let’s go.’ And with those words he swung his arm around my neck and guided me out of the bar. What the hell was going on, was he drunk?

[Six months earlier]
New York City was covered in a layer of snow and the Christmas lights made it look like a scene straight out of a movie. The window’s in Steve’s apartment gave a beautiful view of New York, guess being captain America came with some advances. ‘It's almost midnight, if no one is going to kiss me at midnight I’ll never spend New Years eve with you guys anymore.’ It was half past eleven and Thor had been drink way too much of his mysterious Asgardian drink. ‘You normally don’t even celebrate New Years,’ Natasha laughed while she passed the blond God on her way to the kitchen. Thor was obsessed with the midgard traditions around Christmas and New Years Eve. He loved the traditional food and the secret Santa game we played every year. Everyone’s name who played got put into a hat and everyone drew a name. You had a budget of ten dollars and you had to buy a gift for the person's name you pulled out of the hat. ‘If you’re still lonely at twelve, I'll kiss you.’ I jokingly said to the blond man while I gave him a cheeky grin. ‘I’ll keep you to that prommis lady y/l/n’.
This was beer number six of the evening, or maybe number seven? I wasn’t sure anymore. A blissful feeling spread throughout my body when I looked around Steve’s living room. The Avengers started the tradition of celebrating holidays together long before I met them, they were a family and I was happy to finally feel like I belonged somewhere. ‘Though we were going to kiss at midnight?’ Someone whispered into my ear from behind. It made me jump. ‘Holy shit, don’t do that again or I’ll punch you.’ I said while I turned around to face the person standing behind me. He was looking down on me with a cheeky grin on his face and a sparkle in his eyes. ‘I’m drunk but I'm pretty sure that I never promised you anything Sergeant.’ A lazy grin spread onto my face. ‘Mh, I still have fifteen minutes left to get a deal.’He said while he glanced over at the clock behind me on the wall. I cocked one of my eyebrows. ‘A deal?’ Bucky and I had been flirting back and forth when we were druk for some time now but nothing had ever happened. He took another sip from his beer bottle before he answered. ‘Yeah, who doesn’t want to be kissed on New Year's Eve?’ He shrugged his shoulders. ‘Got Thor for that, I guess you’re the one without anyone to get cosy with when the clock strikes midnight.’ His grin made place for a frown. ‘Come on, Thor?’ I shook my head while I was laughing. ‘Since when are you so confident Barnes?’ Steve told stories about him and Bucky back in the day, how Bucky was a ladies man. He was overly social and always down for a drink or a party. I couldn’t imagine him acting like that. Now he was quiet, distant and never let anybody come too close to him. When he was drinking he got confident, I guess he was a glimpse of the man he was before he fell into the hands of HYDRA. ‘Liquid luck,’ he mumbled while he lifted the beer bottle in his hand so it was in my sight. ‘I’ll think about it,’ I said to him with a wink before I turned around to make my way over to the kitchen.
Natasha and Bruce were chatting in the kitchen. When I entered the room they looked at me with a grin on their faces. ‘You guys look surprisingly happy?’ I asked while I made my way over to them. ‘I heard Barnes when I passed you guys, he’s confident tonight.’ Bruce said while he nodded his head in the direction of the living room. ‘Yeah, he’s been drinking,’ I said while I shrugged my shoulders. Natasha wobbled her eyebrows at me, she knew that I found him attractive. ‘Don’t even think of it,’ I said with a warning in my voice while I pointed my finger in her direction. A grin appeared on her face when I spoke to her. ‘We all know that it’s going to happen at one point, and now we’re talking about it, Bruce do you want to place a bet?’ My jaw dropped when Nat started talking about the bet. ‘Unbelievable.’ I mumbled. I walked past Bruce so I could take another drink from the fridge. ‘I guess I’ll see you two at midnight,’ I said over my shoulder while I walked back into the living room.
It was only five minutes before midnight and another year would start. Time really flew by last year, it felt like it was only summer yesterday. It had also been a rough year, some of us ended up being injured after a rescue mission back in June, including myself. Barton even spent a couple of days in the hospital after he got shot. But everyone made it back home in the end. I took a sip from the cold beer bottle I was holding in my hand. Everyone looked happy that we finally had some time off that we could spend with the people that we loved. Bucky locked eyes with me when I looked in his direction and started walking over with a grin on his face. ‘Ten, nine, eight,..’ Thor yelled, he started counting down the last ten seconds of the year. ‘So, have you made up your mind yet?’ Bucky asked when he was standing in front of me. ‘Yeah, I think I’m going to skip this year's kiss. I don’t get the fuss about it anyway,’ I said while I shrugged my shoulders. ‘Four, three, two!’ ‘Oh shut up.’ Before I could say anything else he pulled me against his body and pressed his lips against mine. I knew this was going to happen one day or another but he caught me off guard. My body reacted to his and placed my arms around his neck so I could pull him even closter. Everyone around us was wishing each other a happy new year but we only had eyes for each other. After a minute he pulled back. ‘Happy New Year.’ He said with a grin on his face. ‘Yeah Happy New Year James,’ I said back while I let go of his neck. He had a boyish grin on his face while he was looking down on me. ‘Told ya that we were going to kiss.’ I rolled my eyes and pushed him against his shoulder. ‘Whatever, I still have to come up with my part of the deal.’ He put his arm around me and we started walking towards the others who were all standing near each other. ‘Happy New Year guys!’ I said with a smile on my face when I stood next to Vision. ‘Told ya,’ Natasha mouthed at me with a grin on her lips. ‘Fuck you’ I mouthed back but started laughing. ‘Happy New Year kid.’ Tony said while he lifted his glass. ‘To us, may we have a better year than last year.’
The evening passed and everyone had an amazing time. At one point someone asked to play a board game and we ended up playing pictionary. Boys versus girls. It was hilarious, we were all too drunk to draw on the whiteboard but that made it even funnier. Hours passed and all of a sudden it was four in the morning. Steve stood up and started talking ‘You guys can stay over, I fixed the guestrooms. You only need to figure out who you want to be roommates with.’ While he was talking he pointed into the direction of the rooms. Steve had a nice sized apartment with four bedrooms where one of them functioned as his own bedroom. ‘I’m heading to bed, see you guys tomorrow.’ He started walking in the direction of his own room and Natasha followed him. ‘Yeah, see you guys tomorrow,’ she said while she winked at me. She was unbelievable, teasing me about the whole Bucky-situation but now she was the one ending up in Steve’s bed. Unbelievable. ‘Let’s go,’ before I could say anything I got thrown over someone's shoulder and he started walking towards the guest bedrooms. ‘Barnes I swear to God if you don’t put me down you’ll’ ‘I’ll what? What are you going to do about it?’ I punched his back. ‘Come on put me down, please?’ By the way his body was shaking underneed I could tell that he was laughing. I stopped protesting and waited till he was going to put me down. A couple of seconds later he threw me on the bed in one of the rooms and closed the door behind us. ‘Take off your dress.’ I cocked one of my eyebrows. ‘Excuse me?’ In no time he had pulled his shirt over his head and threw it somewhere in the room. ‘I said, take off that dress.’ If this is how he acted all the time back in the day I could understand why he was called a ladies man. ‘Yeez, never thought you would be the dominant type Barnes.’ He rolled his eyes while he was unbuckling his belt. ‘Never thought it would take you so long to take your clothes off.’ Now it was my time to roll my eyes. I got up from the bed and turned around so he could unzip my dress. His fingers were cold but they left a burning feeling where he touched my skin. slowly he pulled the shoulder straps of my dress down while started kissing my neck. ‘We’re way too drunk,’ I mumbled while I turned around so I could face him. I let the dress slip down and watch his face so I could see his reaction. He looked at my body and I could feel how my cheeks turned red under his gaze. ‘If you don’t want this we can stop and just go to sleep,’ he offered as a way of asking for consent. Drunk or not, we both knew that we wanted this so I shook my head. That was enough for him and he kissed me. It was a long, slow and messy kiss. He strangled his hands in my hair and pulled softly which resulted in a soft moan that left my mouth. I pulled back so I could crawl onto the bed, he followed my lead and climbed on top of me. Our night was far from over.
‘Excuse me?’ Tony was furious. ‘He told you that he needed time?’ I was pacing around in the lab where he was working on a new suit. ‘Just for your information, you really don’t have that much time anymore.’ He said while he pointed towards my belly. ‘I know Tone, I know.’ I had been so stupid to start the whole friends with benefits thing, it just had to stay with that one time at New Years. But here we were. ‘I get it that he needed time to adjust to living in the city and all of that but the whole ‘I need time’ part is bullshit.’ He took his glasses off. A small smile grew on my face, it was actually nice to see how upset Tony got. He always had my back, no questions asked. ‘Yeah I’m going to wait a couple of days and then tell him, I’m not sure if the right moment even exists in situations like this.’ I shrugged my shoulders
Tony and I had spent the rest of the night in the lab, I helped him while he was working on a new suit and I handed him his tools. He noticed that my mood was down. ‘Screw him y/n, you want to go for a drink?’ Tony asked while he looked at the time on his phone. ‘I already did that,’ I answered with a wink, ‘But why not?’ I said while I shrugged my shoulders. ‘I just want to change in a better outfit.’ I said while I pointed towards my sweatpants. ‘Oh, I thought you were going to pull all the guys in those.’ Tony said sarcastically. ‘Oh, so funny, Mister Stark.’ He gave me a boyish grin. ‘Let’s meet here again in thirty minutes?’ ‘Works for me.’ And with those words, I made my way over to my bedroom.
In the last couple of minutes, I had touched up my makeup, adding a winged eyeliner and a red lipstick so that I had more of a party look but I was stuck on my outfit. I was unsure about what I was going to wear. I had laid them out on my bed before I went to the bathroom to do my makeup. There was a black dress that I could put on or a pair of jeans with a mesh, see-through top. Maybe the top was a bit too much. I stared at myself in the mirror for a minute, I still looked normal, not pregnant. The sound of someone knocking on my bedroom door pulled me out of my thoughts. ‘You can come in Tone!’ I yelled towards the door while I walked back to my bed. ‘What are you going to wear? I don’t want to underdress,’ he laughed while he walked in. ‘I’m torn between these two,’ I said while I pointed towards the outfits on top of my bedsheets. ‘If you want to pull guys I would go for the dress, if you just want to look hot I would go for the top.’ I laughed. ‘Never mind, You’ll get attention in both of them.’ I pushed his shoulder with my fist. ‘I’ll go for the pants and the top, I think. Let me guess, you’ll be wearing a black shirt?’ He shook his head while he laughed, ‘Hey, don’t underestimate the power of the black shirt. Besides, Pepper told me that I look handsome in those.’ Pepper was his new assistant, she was a lovely lady and so gorgeous. It was obvious she had a crush on Tony but he had no clue. ‘I bet she told you that.’ I said while I wobbled my eyebrows. ‘You do look good in them tho.’ I grabbed the outfit with the mesh top from my bed and walked over to the bathroom so I could quickly change. ‘Don’t make fun of the lady y/n, she’s a very nice person and a great assistant.’ I laughed. ‘Yeah, a great assistant.’ I was teasing him. ‘No I actually really like her Tony, I think you two are a great match.’ While I said that I wiggled with my legs so I could fit into the black jeans. ‘You complement each other.’ I quickly pulled the top over my head and tucked the ends into the jeans. ‘You need someone like that in your life mate.’ When I re-entered my bedroom Tony was smiling. ‘Yeah I know, she’s great.’ He looked me up and down. ‘Looks good on you.’ He said while he pointed towards me. I made sure that I was wearing a cute black bra underneath the top so it looked good. ‘Thanks, shall we go?’.
Twenty minutes later we were dancing in one of the biggest clubs downtown. Bodies were moving to the beat of the music that was playing in the club. The music was loud, you could barely understand each other and the club was packed with people. ‘Do you want a drink?’ I nodded, ‘just get me something alcohol-free.’ I yelled back so he could hear me. He gave me a thumbs up while he started walking towards the bar. I moved my body to the beat of the song that was playing, it was something reggaeton, which I didn’t mind. This was the kind of club that played literally any kind of music, it was nice because I didn’t like to dance to the same kind of music for the whole night. ‘A virgin mojito for the pretty lady and a rum coke for me.’ Tony yelled while he handed me the cold glass. ‘Thanks, the next round is on me!’ I yelled back before taking a sip from the drink. It tasted really good.
Before we knew it was three o’clock and we were still on the dance floor. Through the night I had danced with a dark-skinned guy who had dreadlocks and a cute nose ring, he wasn’t pushy or creepy so it had been nice. Tony had been drinking, a lot, and he had been dancing all night long on his own. He didn’t want to dance with anyone who wasn’t Pepper. I had to hook them up one way or another. My phone in the back pocket of my jeans vibrated. ‘Where are you?’ The text was from Bucky and I hesitated to answer him, why would he even text me at this hour of the day. ‘Out.’ I texted back. Before I had the time to put my phone away I already got another text. ‘What club?’ I sighed. ‘Sky club downtown.’ That was it, he didn’t answer anymore so I put my phone back in my pocket. ‘Hey, you want something non-alcoholic? You’re going to thank me in the morning,’ I yelled at Tony with a big smile on my face. ‘Yeah, just get me the same as what you’ll get yourself.’ I nodded and started to make my way over to the bar. The place was packed so I had to wait a couple of minutes before I could order our drinks. ‘Just, two waters please,’ I practically yelled into the ear of the bartender behind the bar. He nodded and turned away from me so he could get our drinks. I was looking around when I accidentally locked eyes with a blond guy who was standing a couple of feet away. He gave me a boyish grin while he winked and I smiled back ‘That’s eight dollars please.’ I turned back around and grabbed a ten-dollar bill out of my wallet. ‘Oh, could I get a lime in those?’ I asked while I pointed towards the glasses. ‘Sure, no prob.’ A couple of seconds later I was making my way back towards the place I left Tony only to see him standing next to a brown-haired guy that I would recognize in every room, even with his back towards me. ‘What the hell are you doing here?’ I yelled at Bucky after I handed one of the drinks to Tony. ‘Wanted to see you.’ He said while he shrugged his shoulders. ‘Well, you could wait till tomorrow so what’s the deal?’ He pointed over his shoulder towards the door to the outdoor space of the club, it was the smoker's area. ‘I need to talk to you.’ Before I could answer him he had grabbed my wrist but before he could drag me outside Dean, the guy with the nose ring, stood beside me ‘Everything okay, is he bothering you?’ He asked while he pointed towards Bucky. ‘Who the hell are you?’ Bucky asked angrily while he looked from me to Dean and back. ‘Dean, and who the hell are you?’ ‘I’m her boyfriend mate so if you wouldn’t mind to back off that would be nice.’ My jaw dropped when he said he was my boyfriend but I quickly closed it when I realized what I did. Dean looked at me with one of his eyebrows raised. I gave him a reassuring look. ‘It’s okay, I’ll see you later.’ He lifted his hands in the air and took a step back. ‘And FYI, you’re not my boyfriend asshole,’ I yelled above the music while I angrily pulled my wrist out of his grip and walked past him in the direction of the smoker's area.
