secret keeper 

Peter and Riri are on a camping trip with their uncle Steve and aunty Natasha.

*ᴇᴀʀʟɪᴇʀ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴅᴀʏ*

Tony working on a surprise gift for his husband, Bucky in the shed workshop out back of the farmstead. Unaware of the little eavesdropper whom snuck in without being noticed she had ventured from staring out the window at the alpacas to see what one of her fathers was what too and the goal to be taken to see the fluffy animals.  

Morgan: Whatcha doin’?

Tony: Highly top secret type of suff for pa. Do you think you can keep a secret? 

Morgan: Yup! *followed by giggles*

Tony: Maguna, that giggle tells me otherwise

Morgan: *pulls a face in Tony’s direction* I-I to can keep a secret

Tony: I’m going to regret this tremendously... *continues on to chat about a suit* but he doesn’t wear anything I buy him...

Morgan: Priddy colours but not for papa

Tony: When did you become critic?

And Bucky happened to walk in on Tony showing Morgan something that happened to be block from his line of vision by the back of his daughter’s head, once Tony caught Bucky in his peripheral vision there was a flail of arms of whatever the object hidden poorly under Tony’s shirt the action had his daughter in stitches and cause him to scoff upon the sight, he was about to playfully take the hidden object from his husband but a diversion in the form of his daughter skipping over to him, distracted him by the asking to see the alpacas... 

*ʙᴇᴅᴛɪᴍᴇ*

Bucky had the nightly duty of tucking Morgan into bed as he was the best at checking for monsters under the bed or in the closet and Bucky had away with spinning a story out of thin air, far more patient then Tony able to tell stories until the little one has fallen asleep from gentle words. Tonight was no different, the purrs at the foot of the bed were the guard cat sleeps, dip under Bucky’s weight sitting on the edge of the mattress as he finished up the third story for the night but Morgan seemed off, unfocused even by the story thus Bucky’s fleshy fingers brushed the hair out of her face to gain her attention back.

Bucky: Sleepy, little miss?

Morgan: *sluggish shake of a tired head* Nope just thinking colours

Bucky: Why you got colours on your mind? 

Morgan: Cause I don’t like the colours daddy chose for your suit... oppies! *covering her mouth out of shock*

Bucky: *chuckling out* Your secret is safe with me, my little secret teller. 

Morgan: *sleepy giggles* t-anks for keepin’ the secret *rubbing tired warm eyes and trailed by a long over due yawn* Think I might rest m’ eyes

Bucky: 'll be right here as you drift off to dreamland

Morgan: I love you lots, papa

Bucky: I love you tons, my little heart

Bucky asking Tony to the prom:

bucky wearing only a hoodie in negative 5 degree weather while tony stands next to him wearing 5 different layers, 2 scarves, a hat, and at least 3 pairs of socks glaring at him

tony, bucky, and steve all share the same science class and every time they have an assignment the teacher makes everyone work in groups of at least 3 and tonys usually to shy to ask to join a group so bucky or steve usually calls him over to join them

tony and bucky are in the same cooking group in their home ec class and one day while theyre cleaning up tony spaces out while taking off his apron and bucky doesnt realize it and thinks he needs help getting it off so he stands right in front of tony and helps him take the neck loop off and tony just kinda freezes and blushes

buckys in a film class and his current short film needs someone to play an angel but he doesnt know who, until he comes across his old crush from 6th grade and decides to ask him to be in his film using a cheesy pick up line (”hey tony are you an angel?”)

tony: yea im pretty short lol bucky: you dont seem that short to me tony: thats bc my shoes always give me couple extra inches, but most people dont believe me bucky: really? tony: yea, see? *takes off one shoe and immediate shrinks a good few inches* bucky: holy shit ur short

bucky is a war vet who spends most of his days vlogging his daily life and how he navigates everyday with ptsd and other mental stuff. he does it as a sort of therapy and a way to have an excuse to get out everyday so he doesnt feel like hes wasting away at home. one day his friend steve invites him to join him at his new gym, which he goes along with easily. when hes there bucky spots tony and is immediately intrigued. so with the guise of being steves gym buddy, bucky goes back just to hopefully “bump” into tony and get to know him better. only after the first few visits bucky notices tony never uses any of the machines. why? eventually bucky just has to ask steve if he knows whats up, despite knowing the hazing hes going to get from admitting it. fortunately steve does know whats up, but unfortunately he doesnt actually tell bucky he just gives him tonys instagram. finally bucky can maybe know why tony goes to the gym. boy does he find out. tony is flexible. and he means f l e x i b l e. at some point bucky manages to build enough courage to introduce himself to tony, and lucky for him stuttering, clumsy, war vets are just tonys type. sooner or later they end up dating and bucky sometimes does some videos like “boyfriend teaches me acrobatics” or “couples yoga” or even “recreating my boyfriends instagrams” 

the day he arrives at camp isnt too bad he goes through the introduction orientation easily enough and makes some acquaintances with his fellow junior councilors; clint, natasha, janet, and sam. tony then is quickly reunited with rhodey and pepper, afterwards, who introduce him to their senior councilor friends; steve, carol, and bucky. tony gets lucky in his cabin placement as he gets to share one with rhodey, bucky, and 6 other little campers set to join them in a few days.

the rest of the day goes pretty easily with the junior councilors getting the feel for the camp layout and getting run downs of the rules and jobs they’ll be doing. they also all receive little booklets with all the camp approved campfire songs (nerds).

bucky being the “bad boy in a band” cliche and tony being the guy hes trying to court

and howard being the jerk he is refuses to let tony have any fun

so right before the biggest party of the school year buckys trying to convince tony to come to it with him bc his band finally got the chance to perform at

but tonys scared of what his father would do if he found out so he sadly has to reject and stay home and study (and bucky dejectedly goes to the party alone)

it isnt until about an hour later that tony gets a video message from natasha of bucky preforming that tony finally goes fuck it he wants to actually experience his teen years and calls up rhodey and carol to come sneak him out

unfortunately when tony climbs down the veranda he knocks the gutter a little loose which catches howards attention but lucky for him he made it in time to rhodeys car before howard could get outside

(but howard does go investigate it and checks tonys bedroom so he does discover he snuck out and managed to weasel his location out of jarvis who then has to drive both him and maria to the house party a few blocks over)

tony arrives at the party, appropriately soaked by the pouring rain outside, to enjoy the end of the bands current song

it doesnt take long for tony to catch buckys eye since he noticed rhodey and carol duck out earlier and a gut feeling of hope why

when the song ends bucky says fuck it and jumps off the make shift stage and towards tony

he doenst hesitate to kiss tony, but he makes it quick cause he just saw howard and jarvis enter the house and quickly pulls tony with him in a clean get away

(rhodey and carol cover them while sam, steve, and natasha (all part of buckys band) try to get cause a distraction with the crowd)

maria was left waiting in the car but when she catches sight of her antonio running out of the house with that long haired boy she vaguely recognized she quickly steps out and is about to call to them

but when she sees the wide smile on antonios face her voice dies in her throat and just lets them go

if that boy makes he son happy then thats good enough for her
