Iron and Stars Can Melt The Winter (Tony, Steve)

[Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier]

(ooc: July 31st. Early morning. couldn't resist it for drama. maybe the first few posts are just tony and bucky and steve joins them later. or just sleeps for a few posts. and couldn't resist bucky having different nicknames for them both. xD)

Bucky woke up in a cold sweat again. He was shirtless only wearing a pair of black jogging shorts. He had a room to himself but he was watched regularly by many of the people after his display of trying to steal supplies and capturing two of their members. He didn't regret it as he needed to survive. But he'd been given another chance. And yet the more he spent around Steve and Tony the more he would have flashes of memories in his dreams. Steve had been puzzled as Bucky had never met him and Steve thought he was maybe confusing him for Tony's father, Howard. And after that, the memories got worse. Seeing Howard and Maria Stark getting killed by him over and over. He hadn't told Steve about this dream but he'd had enough. Seeing Steve was asleep he leaned forward giving him a kiss on the forehead. He had developed feelings for them both in such a short week but he knew he didn't deserve them. He'd done too many terrible things he was sure they'd never forgive him for.

"If only I hadn't regained my memories. Maybe we could have been happy together. Don't cry for me too long, my beautiful star." said Bucky.

He paused going outside and into Tony's room. He was asleep as Bucky repeated before and kissed Tony on the forehead.

"My beautiful treasure. How I've enjoyed working with you this past week. You trying to upgrade my arm. I'm sorry I'm too much of a coward to do this while you're awake. But I know you'd try to stop me." said Bucky.

He then picked pockets a cabinet breaking it open and pulling out a gun. He's about to point it at his head when he feels something pointed at his back.

"My clever treasure. You were never asleep were you." said Bucky.

He turned around to face him still holding the gun.

"Do not be alarmed. I'm not after you or anyone in this army. I just want to put myself out of misery and stop casuing people pain." said Bucky.

He paused looking at him as he dropped to his knees.

"Maybe it's better if you get your revenge. When HYDRA brainwashed me one of the things they forced me to do was kill your parents. I've been having small pieces for my dreams for a couple of days and now I had the full dream." said Bucky.

He looked at him sadly.

"Tell Steve I'm sorry and it's not his fault. And it's not yours either." said Bucky.

He lowered his head to accept Tony's wrath as he thought this would be the end.

[Tony Stark(Iron Man)]

(OCC: Will just play Tony for at least three posts then Steve will enter in to meditate and heal everybody. Also hope you don't mind that it's a tazer instead of a gun)

Tony had fallen for Bucky, just like Steve did. Then again Tony had been developing massive feelings for both Steve and Bucky within this week. Two weeks prior, Pepper Potts was found dead. Her body discovered by rioters. She was within Stark Tower at the time of the attack. Loki had taken something from him. But Steve and Bucky were there through it all. Despite Bucky's lack of memory, the man was kind and sympathetic, always going out for him. Steve was very similar, expressing his own losses such as Peggy and the countless friends he left behind. Tony felt less alone thanks to these two. It was because of this he was happy to help refresh Bucky's memory and be less of an ass to Steve. But the trip down memory lane caused a lot more conflict and turmoil than Stark asked for. Far more trauma than he wanted.

It turned out Bucky was the murderer of Tony's parents. Steve was right, Bucky didn't view them as Tony's parents, he viewed them as targets. It really wasn't personal. But Tony was falling hard for Bucky, it still felt like a big betrayal. Tony, since then, had kept his distance over the past couple days. He wanted to really decide what to do. Steve took care of Bucky and respected Tony's decision, promising that Steve was there for them both, no matter what happened. This caused the hatred Tony had within to lessen. He knew Steve loved him. He knew Bucky loved him. Tony had lost so much, his parents, Pepper, his life, his reputation, his trusted ally Obediah. It was a bit hard to feel betrayed, or lost, yet again. Yet Peter went through the exact same in his own right. It was Peter who wisely told him that Bucky would choose Tony over his mission. That Bucky wasn't the Winter Soldier, not anymore. Tony decided, that night, to confront Bucky again. And finally forgive Bucky.

Tony lost some sleep over this but he was trying to sleep it off, having a tazer beside him in case of an attack. He felt Bucky's gentle kiss. He heard his words of regret and sadness. He then widened his eyes, awakening to the horrific sight of Bucky about to take his life. He was mad at Bucky. He was hurt at Bucky. But he realized he loved him. And love made you want to keep the person you loved alive. He got up and aimed the tazer right on Bucky's back, replying firmly "You put that goddamn gun down, Bucky" Tony's eyes filled with tears at being called treasure. Bucky really did love him, to be this guilty and this ashamed of hurting him. Tony snapped, hurtfully "You really think blowing your brains out will bring my parents back? You really think that'll change what you did?! You think you're that worthless? My god! Are you serious?!" Tony's eyes filled with hurt tears "Don't you have any idea how hard Steve and I fought to keep you alive, Bucky?! Don't you dare think you're doing ME any favors!"

Tony felt sobs come out of him as Bucky assured that maybe he could get revenge "Oh my god, it wasn't your fault, you dumbass! It was never your fault! That's why I'm so fucking mad at you! You were trapped and I had no idea! I wasted so much time planning my revenge and now I'm not going to do it because I fell in love with you!" Tony wiped his tears with one hand "Don't you get it?! I love you! Why the fuck would I want you dead?" Tony aimed the tazer, his hand holding it shaking "I'm only holding this to make you drop the damn gun!" He then saw Bucky kneel before him and he sobbed out "Y-You killed my parents and you're asking me to make things worse? That's not fair, Bucky!" Tony threw the gun and tazer away, pulling Bucky close to him "You better look at me" Tony's anger and hurt poured into a twisted, sad version of love. Tony whispered out, pleading "I lost so many things. I'm not losing you either" Tony got real close, his lips barely close to Bucky's "I don't want to kill you. I don't know what I want"

[Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier]

Bucky looked up at him confused.

"How do you know that? I haven't told anyone about what memories I've been getting. Not even Steve knows." replied Bucky.

He had thought of it but he hadn't wanted to disappoint anyone so he'd kept quiet and he was glad he did. It suddenly clicked.

"You've been spying on me, haven't you? Hidden cameras?" asked Bucky.

He was angry that his privacy had been violated but why should that matter. His body had been violated with the serum and his mind with the memory wipes.

"I thought you and Steve were different. Guess you're more like HYDRA than I thought." said Bucky.

He shook his head as tears began to form in his eyes.

"He was my friend and I killed him. I don't think I can live with what I've done." whispered Bucky.

Bucky looked at Tony in shock as he said he didn't blame him and that he loved him.

"You don't blame me? You love me?" asked Bucky.

He paused stepping backward.

"No. You're just saying this to get me to drop the gun. Then you'll do something else to me." replied Bucky.

He paused as Tony threw the gun and taser away and pulled him close. Bucky stiffened not sure if he wanted to comfort the other man or not. He felt like he didn't deserve his forgiveness right now. He didn't even forgive himself. So why would Tony or Steve or anyone possibly forgive him?
