#51 accidentally married + #81 the missus & the ex

Once the whole mess with Thanos is finally over and done with, the Avengers decide they’ve earned some time off. T’Challa supplies the jets, Tony the tropical island (“What? I’m an eccentric billionaire, of course I have my own personal island, Steve.”), and they’re off.

They have a huge party the first night there, and yes, okay, Tony might indulge a bit too much. To be fair, though, he’s barely been drinking the last few years, and he didn’t even know he could get drunk off, like, three beers and a cocktail? It was Asgardian ale, but still.

Tony wakes up with the hangover to end all hangovers, in a hammock behind the villa, with what feels—and also tastes, ew—like half the beach’s worth of sand in his mouth. He struggles out of the hammock, and then squeaks when he steps on Steve, who, apparently, has passed out under the hammock? Yeah, definitely Asgardian ale.

He goes to shake Steve’s shoulder to make sure the guy’s still alive, but stops short when he sees the—the aluminium foil ring on his finger? Because what?

“Congrats,” Steve says hoarsely, eyes still closed, but when Tony asks what the hell he’s talking about, all he gets in reply is a loud snore. Which, rude.

After putting one of the pillows from the hammock under Steve’s head, Tony stumbles off towards the villa, across the lawn full of still mostly passed out or distinctly Zombie-like Avengers and friends. Then he rounds the corner onto the porch, and there is—

Barnes pulling a face at Tony, telling him to call him Bucky.

Tony grinning while Bucky gossips about Steve, with Steve pouting at them from across the table.

Bucky teaching Tony how to make s’mores, outraged that Tony’s never had them before.

Bucky licking chocolate from his fingers, blushing but grinning when he catches Tony watching.

Then Bucky licking chocolate of Tony’s lips, to the sound of cheers and wolf-whistling from their friends.

Dancing with Bucky on the lawn. Grinding with Bucky on the lawn.

Stumbling back out of the bathroom after making out with Bucky.

T’Challa casually mentioning that he has the power to marry people, and then—

—Bucky, wearing nothing but a very flattering pair of swim trunks, grinning up at Tony. While Pepper refills their glasses, the unholy glee clearly visible on her face, despite her huge sunglasses.

“Mornin’, husband,” Bucky says, teasing, then chuckles when Pepper starts laughing.

“Sit down, Tony,” she says, patting the chair between them. “We were just talking about you, actually.”

Tony falls into the seat with a groan, and a muttered, “Kill me now, please.”

(When T’Challa, a little sheepish, says that he can also divorce them/annul the marriage later that day, Bucky and Tony share a look, smile at each other, blush, and both mumble versions of, “Not right now, I think.”)
