Steve: And how exactly will you stop me?

Bucky: I’ll call Ro.

Steve:

Steve: Fuck.

@starsandshields​ said: "I just got that invoice.", his voice sounds amused over the phone, almost pleased. "Is that your way of discouraging me from something?”

Random dragon ask: welcoming each and everyone.

As if Ororo can see the captain's lips shaping into a sly smile, her cheeks rise, high, full smile lightning up her face while eyeing the phone laying among freshly delivered packages. "Oh, no. Quite the contrary," she assurance with honey-warm tone. "I did sign you up to receive mailers, coupons, even the Savage X Fenty VIP membership."  If anything, she is encouraging his careless tendencies towards her undergarments. "You can now shop on your own, and gentlemen that you are, rather than accepting reimbursement for replacements, having the bill sent to you makes for a more convenient process."  

Slender fingers tactfully crinkling tissue paper in search of the replacement for the lacy red bottoms destroyed last night she laughs, knowing he'd hear the sound through the speaker. "If this arrangement is not agreeable to you, you may try practicing some self-control..."

A t-shirt under a leather jacked and plain jeans. Hands hooked casually in his pockets and posture relaxed, he loots nothing like Captain America. Almost. "I ... am really sorry for just ... dropping in like that.", is the first thing he says to her when she enters the office. "I was just ... checking in on Bucky. I ... haven't heard from him in a few weeks and just ... wanted to see how he was doing. I was told he's busy, though."

"He is,” she replies and gestures towards the seat in front of her desk. “We have some leads on the mutant children that went missing in Manhatten. I’ve delployed a team to throughly investgate each one and I put him on lead with Psylock seconding." Having been there when James found the torn Hyrda patch at the scene of the kids' last known location Ororo hadn't even tried to suggest he sit this one out. His sick, stricken face looking as if trying not to think about his past and the possible horrors of their present and failing miserably she guessed he would have gone no matter what anyone said, better not push him to do so on his own. "They don't attend this school, but we are working on getting them home safely. Maybe no one more so than Mr. Barns. He's been an asset on all fronts, students like him, my tough, quiet ones, especially..."  

Without meaning to a little smile forms thinking on James being whisked away from the staff kitchen and sent to the media room for the Fornite tournament. The kids hadn't asked if he wanted to play, so the noise he made when suddenly telepopted for the first time all present found quite amusing.

"As his...command," she drawls a bit searching for a fitting word as she's unfamiliar with the labels for the Avengers' leadership chain. "You should be proud."  And Ororo deliberately stops there, waiting to see if the Captain would read between what was and wasn't shared.

Wonderful nony <3 

"Oh, have you? ... I've never counted, but maybe next time we are in a locker room together, I'll confirm the rumor for you nony."

Anon asked: ✿ - @starsandshields (I'm too lazy to change blog)

Send ✿ and my muse will fill out for your muse:

A thought about them that they’d never share: I can see why Ororo has a thing for age frozen men.

First impression of them: Certainly less stuffy than I expected.

Favorite thing about them: Well he’s against registration. That alone speaks worlds on his moral code.

Least favorite thing about them: ...There’s nothing coming to mind.

Hopes for their future relationship: He makes Ororo happy, then I’m happy, so just to not have to break his face for doing otherwise.

@starsandshields​ & @projectwinter​ said: On Ro's desk there is a small box of chocolates and a big tin of her favourite tea. Attached to it is a small, heart-shaped note with a small sketch of a cherub. The note reads: "Happy Valentine's. S + J"

Super late answering Valentine's / TY <3

If Steve and James weren't so thoughtful near every day, her smile wouldn't stretch as wide, and the sunshine pouring in while picking up the sketch wouldn't be half as bright. Only because the love they shared gave back all she'd put into it could she marvel at the fortune that was the two men's presence in her life and open the chocolates with giddy delight.

Text to James: Thank you <3 Text to James: Will you be home soon?

Hopefully, before Steven, she mused eyeing the boxes, holding her gifts to them sitting by the door.

Text to James: I need your help with something.

@starsandshields​ said: "I'm giving this another ...." Steve made a show of looking at his watch where he rested against the bar. "two minutes.", loud, tinkling laughter penetrated the room around them, ringing over the soft, classical music. "That hand is going any lower than his belt and I'm stopping that." 'That hand' was the hand of a young, brunette reporter who had spent the last five minutes hanging onto Bucky. that hand had also been tracing circles way too close to Bucky's belt buckle for the Captain's comfort.

Discord Shenanigans slash I love T from the bottom of my squishy heart.

"Hm, giving whose hand two minutes to do what?" Ororo asked a feigning ignorance to the special attention James was receiving. As she was positive, James would have preferred since it was bound to stoke the flames of their captain's possessive streak. "Oh, her... say, I thought she was a natural redhead? Wonder if she would consider switching back? Knowing James' taste, I'm sure he'd agree the color suited her." Soft laughter falling from grinning lips, the hand not wrapped around a champagne glass curled around Steve's arm. "Let him be, love. It cannot be easy having a partner who has at least two mailbags of strangers' underwear delivered to them every week."

Or one that was publicly proposed to at least once a month, three times coming from a celebrity most would be thrilled even to meet.  "Besides," Ororo added with a whisper. "I've charged the buckle, should she wander anywhere near it every finger on that hand will sting for a week."
