he sighed a little and shook his head. "never mind, i'm sure it'll be fine. they can bond over their collections." he decided. "if you say so." he admitted with a chuckle as he shook his head. "i always thought Thor was a bit of a slob when compared to Loki, are you sure he dresses to the best of his ability?" he asked, looking amused. "thanks TJ." Steve chirped, looking quite happy. "yes! i do remember." James admitted. "that was fun, i liked that. i got to try on all kinds of stuff." well. James was a shopper. Bucky had hated shopping for clothes so the idea was a bit baffling to Steve. "...well, alright. i suppose in matters of clothes, there's no one better than you... except maybe Doug... are we sure he's not gay?" he asked, making Clint snicker as James and Steve followed the boys out of the Tower and to the store that Tony wanted to go to.
 
"He is a bit of a slob compared to loki, but it's still better then Kmart clothes."Tony snickered amused"you did. And it depresses me you didn't take me with you. I mean you were getting naked in public."Tony teased his smile showing he really wasn't upset "very. I'm the only game one in my gamily, though if you ask dad he was sure it'd be doug."tj snickered watching them leave.

Later tony grinned from his seat on the couch, having just chosen the clothes for the boys, and not letting them make their own choices before shoving them in a dressing room. Frowning at the doors a little he looked amused."you two okay in there?"he called glad that the boutique had offered to close down just for them, so he didn't have to worry about fans as he waited for james or steve to appear
 
Clint nodded. "true." he agreed with a chuckle and a shake of his head. "i'll make sure you get to go next time." he promised with a snigger. "only if you promise not to have sex in the changing rooms." Xlint ordered, Steve laughing as he nodded. "i agree!" he admitted before he shook his head. "i'm sure Doug is gay, he's just repressing it." Steve admitted, looking amused. "no man that spends that long on his appearance is straight." Clint scoffed, Steve laughing as he nodded. as they left, Clint left to talk to Clint. he needed to get all this straightened out.

James came out as soon as Tony called, mostly dressed except for the tie. TJ probably didn't need any help in the first place but James looked baffled by the fact that he had an undershirt, a button down and a jacket because he was holding the undershirt and jacket in his other hand, looking baffled. "i do not understand..." James admitted. Steve didn't say a word or make a peep and when pressed he replied, quite indignantly. "i look like an idiot! i'm not coming back out until you give me back my jeans!" poor Steve didn't know how glorious he looked. he thought he looked like a dancing monkey.
 
“Good. And....maybe. I mean, dressing rooms are awesome, and they have mirrors.”Tony said refusing to promise looking amused though. “Ahhh, is that it?I’m telling him that. Captain America thinking he’s gay is worth a laugh or two.”TJ snickered as they left.

TJ smirked as he stepped out of the room, the soft grey suit and white shirt making him look healthier and less like he was goign through withdrawal then other colors, looking younger and happier as he snickered as James stepped out of the room. “You’re supposed to put those on. The shirt keeps the sweat from soaking into your shirt.”TJ smirked a little smirking as he answered for tony, who looked like he was going to break the ‘no sex in dressing rooms’ rule as he stared at James. “No. If you don’t get out here, I’m giving that picture of you as little steve to TJ for his collection. Along with a few of your drawings.”Tony threatened knowing the other couldn’t look as bad as he was making it sound. “Just come out. I promise not to laugh.”
 
Steve chuck;ed and shook his head. "if your having sex in the dressing room then I'm not going." his heart couldn't take the pain. "whose Doug?" James asked, looking confused. "TJ's brother. you broke his arm." "is that who that was?"

James shook his head a little. "but there's more than one shirt! which one am i supposed to wear?" he asked, looking confused. "oh..." he took off the button down and pulled on the undershirt as Tony ordered and then put his button up on, looking rather pleased with himself once he was All put together... actually when he was all put together he looked quite handsome. he even had a glove to hide his metal hand. "Don't you dare Tony! i'll kill you!" Steve complained, yanking open the door and stepping out, blushing hard as he looked away. "...i look ridiculous like this Tony..." he complained, biting his lip a little as he shook his head. "at least it's not itchy." James pointed out and Steve paused. "...good point."
 
“Finnnnee. No sex until I take him shopping by myself.”Tony snickered before smiling. “Yea, that’s who that was.”Tony smiled.

“The one in your hand, goes under the one you have on.”Tony ordered swallowing hard as he looked up at james, pupils blown wide as he looked at him, and even if his body wasn’t fully healed yet, he was definitely willing to risk pulling open something to have sex right now. He’d never considered just how good looking he’d be in a actual suit instead of jeans and a t-shirt. “...Uh-huh, hurry up and come out then.”Tony said sounding spacey. “Tony!No sex in public.”TJ ordered turning to look at Steve, grinning. “You look amazing.” “...you do. Really. Better then your stupid cheap clothes. You have to dress more like this. Well not all the time, we’ll get you some good casual nice clothes, jeans and the like...they’re always better.”Tony hummed looking eager to play with steve’s clothes, because this was killing him. To see him dressed like this was amazing. Swallowing thickly he tore his eyes away from steve to look at all three of them before picking up his own suit. “ready to go?need anythign else?”
 
James nodded and did as ordered, pulling the jacket on over it though he couldn't tie his own tie, he had to have TJ do it since Tony was focused on Steve. "....i don't want to come out of the closet." Steve whined, his voice laced with heavy amusement. clearly he had made a joke and knew it. he fidgeted and let Tony fuss over him making sure that he had his clothes on straight. "they are more comfortable..." he admitted. "i guess getting some more stuff like this wouldn't be too bad..." he agreed reluctantly. "just need you to get changed." Steve admitted. "Clint is going to meet us at the aquarium." he admitted. "how come he didn't have to buy a new suit?" "because he already has a dozen of them." James admitted. "he showed me. they're nice." he admitted. "he picked one out when he took me shopping when TJ agreed to go to the aquarium with him... what's a date? are we all going on one? Clint was very excited about going on a date with TJ."
 
TJ snickered a little as he helped James with his tie, smirking at the two super soldiers. “You two need a sign that says hands off. I think all the society ladies are going to try and grope you.”He teased before laughing at Steve. “You need to, it’s dark in there.”TJ snickered because while he wouldn’t out him to Tony or James about the man’s relationship with james from before, he still thought he needed to tell them. “it’s definitely not that bad. I’ll pick out some and have them shipped home.”Tony snickered before stepping into the dressing room. “They are nice. And a date is when you go out in public and do things with your boyfriend. Tony and you are going on a date, I’m going with clint, and well, if he wanted a scary ass date, Steve could ask Natasha to go with him.”TJ teased his blond friend a little, before shrugging. “you’re going to be in trouble. The only single one showing up tonight.”He pointed out smirking a little as Tony walked out. He always did look amazing when he went all in and didn’t do his normal scruffy genius look, instead he looked like the billionaire he was.
 
James blinked. "what's 'grope' and why would ladies do it?" he asked, blinking. it was Steve who explained and further went on to inform James that he wasn't allowed to break anyone, bruise anyone, yell at anyone, hurt anyone or otherwise while they where in public without either himself or Tony specifically saying so. James just nodded and Steve flashed TJ a smirk. "it is dark in there." he agreed. "but i like dark delusions and denial so it works." he admitted with a snicker. he knew what TJ was telling him and this was his way of saying 'it's not gonna happen'. he wasn't about to bother Tony and James when they where so happy. "do things like sex?" James asked, looking eager. "no. i mean, sex can be part of it... a date is like when you and Tony snuggle on the couch and watch TV. it's getting to know each other and reaffirming bonds of affection." Steve explained with a smile. "....i think i'll go stag. thanks." Steve muttered, looking frightened. "....i like you wearing that." James admitted, looking amazed. "can i give you a blowjob?" "not in public." Steve reminded James. "and try not to talk about sex in front of strangers." "can i give him a blowjob when we get home?" "as long as i don't have to see it."
 
“Cause you two have amazing asses.”Tony grinned looking amused at Steve’s explanation and not bothering to add more instructions, knowing he wasn’t going to be wandering away from James’ side. “Fine. As long as you’re liking it in there.”TJ rolled his eyes knowing what he was being told, and just reaffirming that steve knew he so didn’t approve of this. “Hm, or eat dinner and go down to the lab. Just being together.”Tony smiled. “That is a scary thought isn’t it?Natasha would be insane as a date....did you know she’s sorta sleeping with Doug?”TJ announced grinning at the shocked looks he was getting. “I’ll never say no to blowjobs. But yes, no talking sex at the aquarium. Others get weird about it.”Tony snickered a little before tilting his at steve as they headed out after he paid, making sure that none of them-steve- could see that he’d just spent over 3 thousand dollars on clothes before heading for the aquarium. “Does that mean I can’t have one in the car?”He teased.
 
James blinked and then turned to stare at his ass. "how is an ass amazing?" he asked before he paused. "...never mind. i know it... Tony has an amazing ass." James admitted before looking at his own critically. "Tony's is better." Steve had to laugh even as he examined himself, pointedly not looking at his own ass. "i still think i look silly..." he admitted with a shake of his head. "i like being in the lab with you." James admitted to Tony with a beaming smile. "we've been on lots of dates!" he decided as Steve chuckled before he choked on his own tongue. "Doug is WHAT!?" he demanded, stunned. "... she hasn't killed him for it?! holy shit!... wait... wasn't he betrothed?" Doug had broken up with Ann Ogami when he found out she was leaking information to the press... and cheating on him on top f that. "no you can't, you'll wrinkle your suit." Steve chastised, James blinking. "...does that matter?" "apparently." Steve admitted with a sigh as he started up the car and headed to the Aquarium. once inside James was delighted and immediately moved to a massive Fish Tank where they could see a bunch of colorful fish swimming about.
 
“I do. But yours is better.”Tony snickered a little as james examined his own ass, smiling a little at steve, nudging him. “You look fine. Better then that first Cap suit you tried. THEN you looked silly. Now you’re just amazing.”Tony teased wanting to make him feel better before laughing at James’ words. “Yea, I guess we hav-he’s what?” “Yea. Dougie’s totally having wicked super spy sex. It’s creepy.”TJ snickered before nodding.”he was. AFter he found out she’s the one who told the press I nearly died that last time...well, it wasn’t pretty.”TJ made a face. “Yes it does. You have to keep the suit looking nice.”Tony smiled grinning as they got to the aquarium, smirking as he watched James’ delight at the fish, simply following after him, utterly at ease with talking to the people and donors who approached him even though he was staying close to James.

“So. You really did find Bucky Barnes. Is there no limit on what you’ll do, Mr. Stark?”The snide sounding words had tony whipping around to look at the woman walking towards him from where he’d been standing with James to watch the fish, having taken a small moment for just them, even in a crowd, it was obvious tony had been taking care of the other man, fussing over him even as Bucky watched the fish. “Elaine.What a delight it is to see you. I’m sure you’re here to talk to Steve?”Tony said refusing to look around for Steve or TJ, knowing if he did, he’d send the woman looking for them. “In time. I was more interested in the war hero I haven’t met actually.”
 
James frowned. "no i don't." he complained. "yours is obviously better. see?" he made Tony look at his ass in the mirror as if that made him correct. "....do you have to mention the dancing monkey days?" Steve complained with a sigh and a shake of his head. "very creepy." Steve muttered with a shudder. "i've seen her hurt people just for eying her up..." he admitted, thanking god that he was gay and didn't find her attractive at all. "that bitch!" he gasped, looking furious as he ushered them all into the car.

James turned to look at Elaine, looking startled by the use of a name that resonated deep inside of him. who was Bucky Barnes? You are Bucky Barnes, that was your name. his name... before Hydra. he stared at the woman for a long silent moment before he drudged up every bit of knowledge he had about 'fine society' from the TV even though his head hurt like there was a red hot poked being drilled through it with a hammer. "Steve is assisting Clint Barton i think." James admitted as he picked up her hand and kissed the knuckles. images of dong this to hundreds of girls flitting through his mind. "i haven't been feeling too well the last few months unfortunately. this is the first i've been up to coming out into the public. it's... difficult." James admitted, offering her a sweet, shy, harmless smile. well aware that Tony was probably shocked down to his toes at James acting so suave and put together. he knew if Tony was shocked, than this bitch would be stunned silent. "this place is amazing. we never had anything like this when i was growing up." James admitted. "in fact, most of the fish in here weren't discovered until after my... accident. it's simply fascinating."
 
“Hmph. We’ll have to agree to disagree on that point. We both have amazing asses.”Tony snickered as he looked at his own ass, amused before making a face. “Sorry. Not mentioning it again.”he smiled. “Me to. It’s creepy and totally makes me want to buy him presents for actually seducing her. Its amazing as it is creepy.”TJ snickered before nodding. “I know she was. But...they were always going to find out. She just sped things along.”TJ said sadly, because the moment he’d woken up after that overdose, he’d known it would be a mess all over again.

Tony paused, tensing, getting ready to order him away before his mouth fell open a little, “he is.”Tony said simply tilting his head a little, the only signs that he was worried and shocked were the slight tightening of his features, the vertical line between his eyes as he tried not to worry to much.”So I had heard. I am glad you were well enough to come tonight, the aquarium is truly a experience.”Elaine said sounding shocked and nearly silent, as she smiled at the brunette. Even as she kept her eyes on the handsome man in front of her, Elaine spoke to Tony. “Where’s my son, Tony?” “Uh, last I heard, DC. I mean, no one tells me anything.”Tony said the sick feeling tightening his stomach, his face not showing it, he was a good actor with people who didn’t know him, but the others would know that he was feeling sick, that he’d figured out something that scared him silly. "Tony. I know he's in New York." "Not at the tower, he isn't."
 
James pondered and then. "we do. Steve and TJ do too." he admitted, examining both pairs of asses. "James! you can't check out other men's asses!" Steve promised, promptly hiding his from James gaze. "why?" James asked, looking confused as Steve spluttered, not sure how to answer that one when Tony clearly didn't care. "she's still a bitch."

"he smiled at Elain. the epitome of a politicians smile. it was sharp, deadly, dangerous and he was all of those things on his own. "it is an experience." he agreed as he let her hand go, turning to Tony, his head tilted before he chuckled. "it sounds as if you've misplaced your son Madam Hammond. how... negligent of you." he mused. "i'm sure he'll turn up. young men always do. perhaps he just needs a chance to live life without... stifling expectations, hmm?" he mused. "it's not as if you're going to find that he hates you for choosing your political career over him... again. after all, it's not as if he did something drastic the last time you ran." ouch. James was a cruel bastard. "James that's enough." Steve ordered, James shrugging as he turned and focused on the fish again. "i'm sorry Madam Secretary... parts of James are still... he's not.." Steve shook his head. "he's doing much better but we're still working on the brainwashing he went through. i'm sure TJ will turn up." he promised her, looking extremely worried. "have you heard anything of him yet? we went to DragonCon to check for him there but we where attacked by a fake Loki." he admitted. "we came tonight t prove Tony's still alive." he admitted with a sheepish smile. lying straight to her face and doing it well as James gently pulled Tony out of view. "Tony? you kay?" he asked softly, voice broken, as if he couldn't quite figure out who h was, but was too worried about Tony to figure it out. oh wait...
 
Elaine’s answering smile was just as sharp and dangerous, vicious even. “Like you did?I’d rather he not wait 70 years.” “Enough you two.”Tony said rubbing his fingers over the bridge of his nose, stopping the fight before it could really get going, already moving away, sighing quietly as he was pulled into the small corner viewing area, smiling slightly, though it was broken, glad he was in private. Looking up at the taller brunette he studied the other, “Hm?Fine. You?I mean...you’re...you remember more?”Tony said his voice soft and hesitant, and while he’d been trying to help Bucky remember more of himself, to be human again, the man was worried he’d be left once james started remembering, especially since he knew what the howling commandos had thought of his dad, knew it and was afraid, so afraid of being left despite knowing he was loved, afraid that if bucky remembered, that he’d hate tony for ‘tricking’ him into being in love because he hadn’t known who he was.

“It’s fine. Ms. Potts said something similar when I saw her last week and asked her about my son.”Elaine sighed softly before shaking her head. “No, Dragoncon and Doug’s thought he went to europe was the last thing I heard. Ms. Rommanov is helping Dougie look through her contacts in europe. They’re sure he’s there.”Elaine sighed looking up at Steve. “How are you, Captain?”
 
James grin tuned even sharper at the mention of his time on the ice. "have you ever..." he paused at Tony's command and backed off immediately. "i'm fine... devil of a headache." he admitted, rubbing his head before he shook it. "no. it's not..." he frowned. "it's not memories it's... like someone inside me came up and took control and is still there helping me, if that makes any sense... there's, images, flashes and bursts that don't make any sense... she said the name... that name... THE name..." he dropped his voice to a whisper. "Bucky Barnes... that's who i was... before. before i was The Asset..." he muttered. "but i can't be that person anymore, even if that's who i was... i can't Tony... i don't want to be... i'm James..." he admitted, swallowing thickly. "will you still want me, even if i'm broken?"

Steve scowled. "please don't mention her to me at this time. i'm afraid i'm very put out at Mrs. Potts right now." he admitted. "i don't know what the hell she was thinking. getting in a goddamn screaming match when Tony was inches from death... she put him into cardiac arrest you know." that wasn't true of course, but it gave him a good reason to voice his ire. "and she's been funneling funds. she's been stealing from SI... for what purpose i have no idea, particularly since she has use of Tony's money just as freely as the rest of us." he admitted, shaking his head. "i'm not having her arrested yet of course, it would upset Tony." he admitted with a sigh. "and since i don't know.... she's a wonderful woman normally. if there was a good reason..." he admitted before he smiled at Elaine. "Natasha is a master of her craft. if anyone can find Teej its her." he admitted before he shook his head. "i'm tired Madam Secretary..." he admitted. "my best friend doesn't know who i am and is so broken he spends most of his time locked in a tiny closet because the open space frightens him. we have a broken Godling whose spent the last fifteen years under mind control at the tower trying to recover and what's more is that SI can't seam to do anything unless Tony or i go in person to MAKE them do it... Pepper was shit at her job, the paperwork is all over hell and i actually had to hire someone to put it in order and even THEY are having issues! to make things worse one of my best friends is missing and i have no doubt the intends to STAY missing lest his mother make him a dancing puppet again, that is if he's even still alive." he looked at her. "yes. i'm tired. but even more, i'm worried, because the world is falling to pieces and no one seams to give a damn." she'd heard him speak like this before, she was well used to him. never mind that he only did it to distract her from whatever TJ was doing. his rant had given Clint and TJ time to escape. not that she'd ever know.
 
“well. Considering you’re remembering 27 years of life before being the Soldier, it’s going to hurt like a bitch, and most definitely fuck with you. You’re okay.”He muttered reaching out, gently touching his fingers against the other’s arm, playing with the fabric, before giving into the desperate need to be closer, stepping into his arms, getting folding the other into a hug as he buried his hands in his hair, holding onto him, with the desperation of a man who’d had his world torn out from him by the very people who were supposed to love him. He didn’t want to lose thing. “I know you can’t. Cap knows you can’t. He doesn’t expect it. Neither of us, or anyone else, expect you to be who you were. We want you however you want to be, Jamie.”Tony muttered before laughing bitterly, kissing the other hard and filthy. “Only if you still want me when you’re perfectly aware of how broken I am.”he pointed out before drawing back. “Come on. Lets round up Cap, and get out of here.”He muttered hugging him tightly, resting his forehead against the other’s.”...I have your dog tags. I mean, your original ones, that say James Barnes, if you want them....might give you more memories, or...you could talk to Cap....”

Elaine’s eyes widened a little looking startled before staring after the other two men. “I was not aware he had been that hurt. I had known they had broken up, but...”She shook her head sadly before sighing. “We’ll find Teej.”She muttered before wincing, resting a hand on the other man’s arm, squeezing a little, not sure how to make the man feel better before sighing. “You’ll find TJ. No one knows TJ better then Tony and johnny. And we’ll take care of the world, Steve.”She said before looking up when James and Tony came back in.
 
he nodded. "it's not even memories really, it's just... like watching a TV show on fast foreword when you have really bad reception." he admitted before leaning into the hug, holding Tony right back with a sigh. "i like Holding you." he admitted softly. "thank you Tony..." he muttered. "I love you." he whispered. "i just want you. that's all i need for myself." he admitted with a smile as he kissed the other. "we're good matches for each other... both so broken... but that's okay. just means we'll know how to keep each other from shattering." he promised, gently stroking Tony's hair back into place. "Dog Tags?" he asked, confused. "are you going to put a collar on me?" he asked, unable to remember what Dog tags where. "...i don't think I'd mind that." he admitted as he rubbed his neck, as if imagining a collar there.

"yes well... i'm guessing Pepper didn't either. but god it's common sense! he was stabbed right through after all... and while he was infected with some weird form of Serum that we haven't been able to Isolate, it hasn't done much for him." he admitted before he smiled at her. "...i'm sure we will. i'm just... i saw him laying there and now that's all i can think about." he whispered. "...i need a favor." he admitted to her. "i know your in contact with Pepper... keep her busy. somehow, anyhow. i don't care. just make sure she stays away from SI, Shield and the Tower. if i see her, i have to turn her in." he warned. knowing Elaine would understand. Steve had caught Pepper steeling from SI. legally he HAD to turn her in if he saw her because he was an Agent and he could go to prison himself if he didn't. "and don't tell Tony. he doesn't know yet."
 
“...Ah. I see. Well, we’ll see about slowing the movie down.”He muttered, sighing in relief as the other leaned into him, holding onto him tighter, hands fisting in his hair, desperate to just be able to hold on longer, not ever wanting to let go. “Welcome.”he muttered before tensing at the words, swallowing hard, shaking a little but not bolting, not running away from being told ‘I love you’. Swallowing shakily he smiled. “Well, you have me. As long as you want me.”He muttered kissing him back before smiling gently.”Yes, we can do that. Keep from shattering.”he muttered leaning into the other’s hands as james smoothed his hair back, forcing his hands to let go of the other’s hair, before he looked up at him with his eyes blown wide as he considered collaring him. “Yes. Yes I am definitely putting a collar on you.”he groaned a little rolling his hips into the other’s, even if he couldn’t do anything about it, he really wanted to. “Dog tags are what soldiers wore...just in case they died in battle, there was still a way to identify you. Definitely putting those on a collar, hmm...”Tony groaned as he considered just what he wanted to do to the other.

“I will. I can keep her busy steve.”Elaine said looking worried, which only made her utter bitchiness all the worse since she wasn’t aware of it really. “And I wont.”She glanced at the clock. “You better get them out of here. I’m sure that Tony’s still not recovered, and Mr. Barnes has probably had enough for one night.”Wow...she really could do concerned well, even if you didn’t have to be her son to know it was only skin deep.
 
he smiled at Tony. "i'll feel better once my headache goes away... or maybe when your healed enough to fuck me." he admitted, smiling as he felt Tony tense. but he didn't bolt. still an improvement. "and you have me." he promised, bending his head to nibble on Tony's lip just a little. "...hmmmm." he murmured as he nuzzled the other. "i want to wear your collar Tony." he whispered. "i do..." he purred, smiling a little as he palmed Tony's erection before he led the other away. "come on, lets get Cap and go home." he decided.


Steve nodded. "thank you Elaine." he muttered, well aware that she would turn Pepper in herself if she thought it would help her career. he had her pegged and she was none the wiser. "i think your right. Tony's not recovered very much. he was supposed to be in a wheelchair tonight but he's too paranoid to be seen as that helpless." he admitted with a sigh. "James isn't recovered but he's in enough control to not hurt anyone... the only reason why he doesn't like you is because he doesn't like pepper." he admitted, flashing her an apologetic look. "not that the feeling isn't returned." he admitted. "i'm pretty sure she hates him just as much." he admitted, kissing her knuckles. "try not to do too much Madam Secretary." he suggested before he turned and headed for Tony and James, flashing them a wink.
 
“Hm, I’ll definitely enjoy that day.”Tony snickered enjoying the thought of fucking the other, swallowing hard as he relaxed into the kiss, sighing as he was nuzzled. “when we get home, I’m going to design the best collar ever.”tony grinned knowing he was going to pack so much tech into that collar that it was going to be obvious on who collared him even without the tags. Whimpering in pleasure as james palmed his erection he growled softly. “That’s just cruel.”He whined as he followed the other towards cap.

“You’re welcome. Just take care of your team, Steve.”She smiled a little before nodding. “I’ll try not to.”She smiled watching the three leave. “Clint texted. They got home okay.”Tony muttered as they got to the car, avoiding looking at steve, not wanting to show just how utterly wrecked james could leave him with just a few moments alone. “You have no idea how sexy it was watching you play her like that.”Tony snickered as he slumped down into the car seat, shifting to lean against james, making himself comfortable, holding his hand, fingers nervously playing over the back of the super soldier’s hand, a nervous twitch that said that no matter what he said, or did, he was still nervous about being left. And he really, really wanted to collar james, just to give himself some tangible proof that the other was with him for the long haul.
 
he grinned. "me too." he admitted with a nod. "design?... you can't just go to a pet store?" he asked, looking confused before he shook his head. "that was a stupid question, ignore that." he ordered with a sheepish smile. "....from what little i remember, i always was." he admitted with a grin.

"i'll do my best." he admitted with a smile. "it's all i can do." he admitted, hoping he'd taken her suspicions of TJ in the tower. "good. i think i might have tossed Elaine off the scent." he admitted. "i have her convinced i'm worried sick about TJ by now." he admitted. "god i hate her. she's such a bitch." he admitted before he went bright red. "....uh... thanks..." he muttered shyly as he watched James snuggle into Tony and let his hand be played with, perfectly content. it was nice to see them so happy. especially with Clint and TJ being so... odd.

up in the Tower, Clint had gone to get some food when Phil Coulson knocked on the door. "...Thomas? would you mind if i came in?" he asked. "i wished to.. speak to you. about things." he admitted. "i think we should try and work things out. the three of us... well, the two of us really. Clint's a bit of a fairy when it comes to emotional discussions." he admitted with a smile. "i don't want Clint to have to choose between us... even more, i don't want you to feel as if you have to leave or give him up." he admitted. "i'm fairly certain that he loves you, perhaps even more than he loves me. he needs you more than he needs me."
 
“...No, I can’t just go to the pet store. How much fun is that?”Tony whined snickering as he kissed the other, amused at the sheepish smile before making a face. “that’s amusing. We’ll be good together then.”he snickered a little.

“Good. And I know. She’s better now. At least she’s polite to me. I got thrown out of the white house once for being a drunken asshole. Which I was, but I was also 15. Sorta made me feel bad.”Tony pouted as he rubbed his thumb across the other’s knuckles, sighing softly.”Your welcome. You should totally be this more often. I mean, the sassy bastard part. It’s amusing. Makes me wonder if all the things you got...Barnes blamed for was really just you.”Tony teased looking a little nervous mentioning it, but wanting to know if James had remembered he was steve’s best friend, and figuring it was better to know now. Rather then later.

“TJ.”TJ corrected automatically before wincing as he opened the door, despite being happy and content, faced with the man in front of him, the man was still feeling messed up with the other’s arrival, not to mention his mother nearly finding him. “O-okay. Come on in. I was just making some honey tea.”TJ said returning to his drink as he settled at the table, cupping the mug in his tea, looking tense and worried as he looked at the other, “,....you were with him first. I can go away. I mean, he’d probably like it better. I don’t want to get in the way.”TJ said despite phil’s words, the man was twitchy and worried, so afraid of being abandoned and the way he twitching hard at the slightest moment was the sign of just how close he was to actually giving in, to shooting up again. Even with clint being so good to him, his will to stay sober was strating to strain.
 
Steve chuckled a little. "Tony if you where drunk at fifteen you deserved to be kicked out." he pointed out with a smile. "your better than her anyway." he admitted with a smile before flushing all over again. "...er... well.... you see...." he fidgeted and James turned to stare at Steve, looking a bit startled. "...you blamed me for stuff?" "course not!... people just blamed you all on their own! and you encouraged it anyway!" he complained, pouting as Bucky blinked. "....did you know me?... before?" "yes." "how?" "you know how they made you sleep? sometimes for months or years? something similar happened to me. i slept for seventy years." "oh... wow." that would be a 'no James didn't remember yet'.

he smiled. "TJ then." he agreed. "and you can call me Phil, or Agent, or Coulson. whichever you feel more comfortable using i don't mind." he admitted. "Honey tea?" he asked, looking surprised. "i thought i was the only one who drank that in this country." he admitted with a smile before he sobered and stared at TJ. "i would never ask you to leave and neither would Clint. you need him just as much as he needs you. if anyone is being kicked out of the relationship it's me. i can function without it, you and Clint cannot. i still have a good six hundred thousand years of life to find more love." he pointed out easily. "it would take me a few hundred years to get over it, but i would get over it. i'm not sure you or Clint could." he admitted. "you could never get in the way TJ." Phil promised reaching over and taking the other's hand. "but i want to try and make things work, between you and me, for all three of us... Clint and i have talked about it before. bringing in a third person. i couldn't give Clint the emotional needs he needed. not all of them. you give him the emotional connections that he needs, that i can't give him."
