Steve: “Buck, stop! You’re going to kill someone!”
Bucky: “Bucky never meant to kill. Bucky only meant to maim or seriously injure.”
Whenever he gets food, he inspects it from all sides. Mushing it together, pulling it apart, sniffing it, squishing it. He thinks you don’t see him do it.
Always keeps he door and all windows in sight
If you’re with him in public he’s always behind you with an arm around your waist
He shrinks himself when among the Avengers but in public he makes sure to use his presence to intimidate his way through groups
Avoids his reflection
Is always playing with your hair
Doesn’t speak much but when he’s alone with Steve he’s really sarcastic
Doesn’t fidget
Keeps his eyes lowered unless staring down someone who is looking at you
Keeps his metal arm covered at all times, has a habit of pulling the sleeve down
Compulsively checks his guns each morning and night
Plays with a knife nearly constantly
Doesn’t really smile but his lips quirk at Tony’s dumb comments
Fucks with people’s day to day life- nobody knows
Turns the toaster setting up so Clint’s toast is always black
Rearranges furniture knowing it’ll get to Sam, but Sam doesn’t know what’s wrong with the room
Gives DUM-E expired food to put in Tony’s shakes. Tells him its healthy.
Has an anonymous instagram blog he set up with FRIDAY. FRIDAY hides it from Tony. Takes photos of them out in New York, in the lobby, anywhere public. Has the Avengers thinking they have stalkers.
Takes his coffee with five sugars, creamer, and cinnamon.
Swaps the salt and sugar at irregular intervals, making everyone paranoid.
Has really mannish behavior when alone with you or Steve
Burps really loudly
Slouches on the couch
Drinks a lot of beer but never gets drunk
Thought the Superbowl was a cooking show
Thinks cheerleaders are gymnasts
Does not understand the concept of professional cheering
Is convinced you are lying and every event with cheerleaders is also a gymnast competition
Takes up two seats on the couch forcing Peter to sit next to Natasha
Peter is very, very afraid of Natasha
Tweets photos of Steve’s butt on the official Avenger’s account
Tweets photos of Tony falling, getting stuck
Tweeted photos of Natasha’s bed hair. Only once. Never again.
Swapped Clint’s explosive arrows for glitter filled ones
Casually appears out of nowhere to startle the team
Suspects Pepper is actually a robot
Thinks Vision is related to Thor and Loki
Enjoy’s Thor’s company, but pretends he doesn’t
Is amused by Loki
Hates licorice
Is deathly afraid of the dentist, so brushes his teeth three times a day
Stares at you. Constantly. He can’t stop looking at you.
Never engages in PDA
Never shows his affection for you around the other Avengers
Not because he doesn’t want them to know but knows it could put you in danger
They know anyway
When you’re alone he sits close to you but won’t touch you
Has a full on school boy crush on you
Watches your favourite movies whenever you want, even though he really, really hates this Sebastian Stan guy
Thinks Sebastian looks like a mutt
Is offended when you remark they look alike
But wait
You like Stan, do you like Bucky?
??
Things to think about
Wants a dog
Likes cats but is weary of them
Your cat attacked his hair once
Is not sure if they are good or evil
Has a pet fish
His name is Brook
Brook has a fishmate
Fishmate is called Lyn
Sometimes his accent gets really thick
It just comes out of nowhere
One day he accidentally called you doll
He ran away
It’s Feb 14th
Bucky doesn’t realise it’s Valentines Day until he sees Steve’s newspaper
Is conflicted and anxious
Decides to get you some flowers and chocolates
But he can’t just give them to you
So he leaves them outside your door
But DUM-E takes them and tells Tony he got them for Tony
Tony knows this isn’t true but can’t stop laughing and now he’s crying
Maybe kill Tony Stark maybe not ??
Goes out and gets more flowers
Decides to give them to you but can’t find you
Waits all day and finally you come home late
He goes to you when you’re on the balcony and stutters out something incomprehensible
You just stare at him wondering what the fuck “you’re flowers are really chocolate” means
He ends up throwing the flowers at you and shouting-
“I FUCKING LIKE YOU”
Tony tweets the cctv footage

James Buchanan Barnes, aka Bucky from Captain America: The Winter Soldier
“Bucky” is such a cute name though :\
me, interacting with another 20+ year old on tumblr:
This comes up on Snopes as false.
ALRIGHT. LISTEN UP.
So recently, I got calls from the phone number, (937) 353-8319. They claim to be a job service, and one of their “employees”, Carrigan, is friends with whoever the call recipient is, and that Carrigan has recommended you for this $15.00/h “job”. I also got a text message from (937) 607-1493, claiming to be Carrigan, and that they need stuff to “win a scholarship”. I do not know anyone by the name of Carrigan and I know very well that this is a very dangerous scam. If you receive a call from a number, and they ask you if you would like a job for $15.00/h, HANG UP IMMEDIATELY. If you accept the “job” offer, and you go in for an interview, they will give you a drugged bottle of water and you will wake up somewhere you don’t want to be. These phone calls & texts are from a human trafficking service, and if you oblige to them, you will be sold to people and you will be raped, no doubt about it. So PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER THESE CALLS OR TEXTS. I have listened to the voicemails, and allowed my dad to do the same, and he learned that anyone offering a $15.00/h “job” is a human trafficker. PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS ALL OVER TUMBLR
A WinterIron plot bunny idea I had and wanted to get out because I’ve seen Hanahaki Disease floating around my dash for a bit, and I couldn’t give up a good idea what I had it. I don’t feel like it’s a fully fleshed out enough fic to post on AO3, but I just like the concept. Bad At Love by Halsey inspired the title because fuck Halsey and her feels. (the aesthetic is mine)
Tony was four, the first time he caught Hanahaki. Four. And if that weren’t sad enough in concept, it was even worse knowing it was from his father.
Tony had just built his first circuit board. Worked on it for weeks, which to a four-year-old felt like a world of time and energy. But he’d finished it. And it worked. He’d shown Jarvis first, and the reaction from his caretaker had been one that lit up Tony’s world. Tony was sure, oh he was so sure, if Jarvis had loved it so much, his father would have at least liked it a little bit. Sure, he’d always been a bit distant with Tony, but Tony had worked so hard. He’d worked so hard.
But when his little hands thrust the circuit board toward his father, almost as if it were an offering, big brown eyes wide with hope, the only response he got was his father raising a hand to him, sending Tony and the circuit board down tumbling to the ground with one strike. It was then, lying on the ground at his father’s feet, Tony coughed up his first flower. He was too young to even understand what it was supposed to mean, he only knew that when his father crushed the flower with his foot as he walked away from Tony, Tony’s chest ached.
After that, Tony was conservative with his love. It took him even weeks to accept love from Jarvis, too afraid of being pushed away again. He eventually got over it, but he was still too skittish to love someone new, for the time being.
The first time it was a romantic love, was with Rhodey. Rhodey was amazing in every way, and Tony couldn’t help fall for him. And sure, Rhodey loved him back, he’d made that very clear, but the pinched look on his face the first time Tony coughed up flowers when Rhodey mentioned he was straight said it all. Platonic love wasn’t enough. At least, for Tony.
But Tony convinced Rhodey he’d be able to get over it, and he was, eventually. It took months, Tony even considered surgery, but eventually, he did really feel happy for Rhodey when he saw him with some girl and stopped coughing up those damned flowers.
At his parent’s funeral, someone had once asked Tony how he felt. His only response had been to stare at his mother’s gravestone with a heavy heart, then choke up a mouthful of flowers. It made sense, he guessed. She couldn’t love him if she was dead. There were good reasons Tony was an atheist. No one, not even his mother, could love him beyond the grave.
Tony wasn’t even surprised when it happened with Pepper. After Rhodey, Tony had given up on trying not to fall in love. Most of his crushes went as quick as they came, one of the main reasons they were never requited, Tony supposed. He was just bad at love. He couldn’t seem to make it last. Going back and forth between coughing up flowers and not; until Tony didn’t even bother paying attention to who was the cause. They wouldn’t matter in a few weeks.
But Pepper’s had lasted so achingly long. So long that Tony actually forced himself to go through with the surgery, only because he couldn’t handle the disapproving looks from Pepper every time he coughed up petals around her. It hurt, not only physically to have the flowers removed, but also emotionally. To have one of his most lasting loves ripped from his heart, just because he couldn’t contain himself.
He was just bad at love.
With Steve, it had been surprising. At least to Tony, anyway. Tony thought he hated Steve, detested every inch of his being. And Tony supposed he did, in some ways. But for reasons that couldn’t seem to stick. At least not the way his love did.
It had startled both of them when Tony started coughing up flowers when Steve had snapped out some insult at him. The look of disgust on Steve’s face somewhat reminded Tony of Howard’s reaction. It did, even more, when Steve stormed out of the room, crushing petals that had fallen to the ground with his step.
After Steve, Tony decided he would never fall in love again. It was a vain promise, sure, but Tony vowed to follow it, even if it led him to the grave. He didn’t want to ever have to deal with a mouthful of flowers again. To him, that’s all that love was.
Maybe that was the real reason it took him so long to realize he was in love with Bucky.
Sure, Tony hit it off with Bucky. More so than anyone had predicted they would, all things considered. The lingering touches, the flirtings, the inside jokes, the sweet laughter at two am.
Natasha was the person to bring it up to Tony.
“You’re in love with him, aren’t you?” She asked one night over coffee when it was much too late for either of them to be drinking coffee.
Tony glanced up. “Nat, I’ve been over Steve for almost a year now.”
She rolled her eyes. “Not Steve. Bucky.”
Tony frowned. “Haven’t been puking up any petunias lately, so nope, don’t think so.”
“You’d only have Hanahaki if it was unrequited, Tony.” She sipped her coffee.
“I-what?” Tony paused, staring at her. “I don’t-James doesn’t-”
“Tony.” Natasha cut him off. “You’re the only person in this Tower who calls him by his first name, and I’m positive he’d punch anyone else who tried. And same goes for him calling you Anthony. You look at him like he’s your moon, he looks at you like your his sun. It’s ridiculous how sappy you both are.”
Tony stared at her. “I don’t…”
“Hush.” Natasha flicked his head. “Ask him out for coffee sometime.”
“I can’t do that.” Tony stared at her with impossibly wide eyes.
“Why not?”
Tony blinked. He supposed she had a point. But grasping the idea that he had a crush on Bucky was… it felt impossible. Tony was so used to love and Hanahaki being bound together for him, one couldn’t exist without the other. The idea that he loved Bucky was barely overshadowed by the realization that Bucky loved him back.
Bucky loved him. Someone loved Tony. For once in Tony’s life, someone returned the affection he was so used to burning and withering away inside of him.
For that reason, Tony was terrified. Terrified he might get over this crush on Bucky as quickly as he had his previous crushes, and he’d leave Bucky just as hurt as others had left him. Tony couldn’t do that to someone else. He just couldn’t. Maybe Tony was bad at love, but he had to try.
“Okay. I’ll ask him out for coffee sometime.”
