#time fluff

“What games do you have in mind, Tony?” I ask him once everyone is done eating. I get up and take my plate to the sink, along with several other people’s.

“I was thinking we could start off with a good old fashion game of truth or dare” He told everyone casually, though several of us gave him dirty looks for suggesting this game.

“Come on guys, this could be fun” Natasha says and looks pointedly between Bucky and I but I pretend that I don’t notice. “As long as everyone plays fairly that is” She shoots a sharp look in Steve’s direction.

“Okay, you know what Romanoff? I’m sorry that the idea of running down the street with nothing but my shield didn’t sound very appealing” He fires back defensively.

Wanda rolls her eyes softly “Relax Steve, we all know that you can back out of one dare a game but you’ll just be teased relentlessly for it. It’s just the way it works”.

“Now that we’re done with convincing Capsicle, can we move to the living room and start the game?” Tony ushers impatiently.

“Yeah, yeah. Come on people, let’s get this over with” Bucky says with a sigh and stretches as he gets up, which I can’t help but notice makes his shirt ride up just a little and his abs peak out a tiny bit. I quickly look away when I feel a pair of eyes on me, realizing that it was only Sam, thankfully, but I can tell that he is smirking and I fight the urge to scoff as he goes off to inevitably tell Natasha and/or Wanda.

As we all start filling up the living room I strike up a conversation with Steve*, realizing that he is a lot like his older self. The resemblance is made even clearer when that latter joins in and starts talking with us. “So you seriously thought that ‘fondue’ meant-“ I snicker out.

“Yeah, yeah. I know, I was just a little jealous all right?” Steve explains coolly as his younger self continues to blush like crazy.

Once everyone is situated on the couches, me being in between Steve and Bucky, Tony stands up to begin the game. “Alright, everyone knows the rules of truth or dare, correct? Good, I’ll pick who goes first since I decided that we should play this game” He announces without waiting for much of a response. “I say that either Tin-Man or Yet-To-Be-Tin-Man should go ahead and ask someone a question first, I don’t care which one” He says with a certain excitement in his voice before he sits down.

“Are you sure that since you were the one that suggested the game you shouldn’t be the one to ask a question first?” I ask with a quirked eyebrow.

“Yes Y/N, that’s how the game works when I come up with it” Tony responds with a tone of finality.

I just shake my head and look over at the two soldiers sitting next to each other on my right, both of whom look slightly confused. “So I guess I’ll ask Steve” Bucky says.

“I’ll go for truth” Steve answers, none of us are particularly surprised seeing as Steve is usually the one to play it safe and answer a question instead of doing a dare.

“Out of Sam or me, who is your best friend?” He asks and laughs at the disappointed look on Tony’s face.

“Yeah Cap, who is your best friend?” Sam asks, suddenly seeming very interested in the game.

“Well if you’re both making me choose” Steve pretends to contemplate his choice for a moment before deciding “Y/N, or maybe Nat, seeing as they’re the ones that aren’t making me choose between the two of you” He answers with a playful glare at the two of them. Steve*, Tony, and Bucky* all start laughing their asses off while Natasha and I chuckle lightly.

I give Bucky a sympathetic look and rub his shoulder playfully “Sorry Buck, if it’s any consolation I’m sure that you’re at least in his top five” I tease him and start laughing again when he gives me a glare in response.

“Alright traitor, you ask someone else a question now” Sam urges Steve to get on with the game.

Steve chuckles and looks around the circle of furniture for a victim “How about I ask Natasha” the corners of her mouth turn up and she picks dare, again not much of a surprise. Steve grins “Payback time, Sam and I get to go into the kitchen and make a blend of something for you to drink, we’ll set a five-minute time limit just to make sure that we don’t spend too much of the game doing this one” Sam also starts grinning as he listens to what Steve has in mind.

Nat shows her distain by wrinkling her nose but agrees to the terms nonetheless. “I guess that I should have known that you two would get revenge, just remember that Wanda also helped” She calls after them just before they disappear into the kitchen. Steve* and Bucky* look a little confused about what the payback would be for but the rest of the tower had heard about the incident from at least one of the people involved.

Five minutes later the pair come back into the room with a glass full of an odd colored liquid (if you could even call it that with all of the visible chunks) and very gleeful expressions. “Are you seriously going to try to drink all of that?” Bruce asks and plugs his nose from the apparent smell of being too close.

“I’m never one to back away from a challenge, you all know that” Natasha said and took a deep breath before tipping back the drink and chugging the entire glass like a champion. Once the whole thing was gone she coughed a little and handed the glass back to Steve with her eyes squinted shut.

“Poor Nat” I say under my breath with a low giggle.

“She had it coming to her” Bucky says and nudges me with his arm gently, surprising me a little because I didn’t think that anyone had heard me.

“Still” I laugh a little more “That had to have been horrible” I try to sympathize with my friend even though she did kind of do it to herself.

“Oh, I know that it did, mainly because I suggested to them that they blend up some canned fish to put in it” Bucky tells me with a smirk and I smack his chest with my mouth hanging wide, about to say something when I heard my name being called.

When I look at whoever was addressing me I find out that it was Natasha, now seemingly much better after a glass of water and a shot of some strong alcohol. “Um, I’ll choose dare” I say, almost instantly regretting my choice when I see the Cheshire Cat grin dawning her face.

“I dare you to give a lap dance to the person in this room that you are most attracted to” I can’t tell if it’s the alcohol in her system or just her sheer will to embarrass me out of my mind that gave her the idea to dare me to do this. I hear Tony give a cheer and that’s when I notice how drunk almost everyone in the group is getting.

“No, definitely not. I’m using my one get out of a dare right now, I’m not doing that” I definitively say with an incredulous laugh. I lean back on the couch and take a swig of my own drink, the mere thought of giving Bucky a lap dance making my face burn bright red.

Natasha looks very disappointed with my avoidance of an answer “Fine, Bucky*, truth or dare?” She asks the younger of the two Bucky’s, to which he responds with picking truth, obviously not wanting to get a dare anything like the last two. “Who would you date out of the people in this group?” She asks, not so subtly looking at present day Bucky as she asks this.

“Well obviously Y/N” Bucky* responds without hesitation, which shocks me so much that I sit frozen in place for a moment. I notice that next to me Bucky suddenly tenses, while Nat just smirks with a certain twinkle in her eye.
