Bucky glanced down at the watch that sat on his wrist, “you alright there Barnes, you’ve been glancing down at that Rolex of yours for the past hour, waiting to be rid of me?”
He rolled his eyes at Tony, “nothing like that Stark, you’re always a pleasure to be around, just ready to get home is all, all these talks of numbers and merging is just a little overwhelming, and I didn’t get much sleep last night.”
“ah the cherry on it all, hey man I get it,” Tony replies, “I’ve already told you I can take Rogers and y/n off your hands, help lighten the load.” he grins.
“Tony I don’t know why you continue to ask, the answer will always be no.” he chuckles, “Steve and y/n are just fine working for me, unless they would like to move up further and think they can find that with you than by all means I’ll let them go freely.”
Tony’s eyes drift over to Steve, “what do you say Rogers, I can’t exactly offer you a higher position than the one Barnes has given you, but I can give you a hefty raise.”
Steve shakes his head with a laugh, “m’fine where I am now Tony, thank you for the offer though.”
Tony snaps his fingers, “damn,” he breaths, air whistling past his lips, he looks to Bucky, “I don’t know what you’re doing Barnes, but keep doing it, you’re doing an exceptional job.”
Bucky laughs softly nodding his head, “well I have somewhat high expectations to live up to know thanks to y-”
“gentleman.”
Bucky turns his head at the sound of your voice coming down the hall, a smile kissing your lips as you glide towards them, laptop bag in hand ready to call it a night. You stop a foot short of him, “y/n,” tony speaks up hand shooting out to greet her, “it’s a pleasure to see you this evening, so sorry I didn’t have more time to visit with you earlier when I arrived, but we had numbers to talk,” your quick to wave him off telling him not to worry, “ hey, I caught the article that you wrote for Rogers and the company, and wow what a way with words.”
Bucky watched a grin split your lips, eyes crinkling in delight at the compliment, “I was also surprised when I came across the one you wrote for Mr. Barnes here” a whistle leaves Tony’s lips and Bucky has to restrain rolling his eyes. “Now that one was amazing, tried to sweep you out from under Barnes feet just now, but he said you were fine here, are you?”
Your eyes flit over to him for a second before they’re sliding back over to Tony’s, “I’m fine just where I am, Mr. Barnes isn’t as bad as you make him out to be Mr. Stark, I think even you could learn a thing or two from him.”
Steve chokes out a cough, Stark just stares rather taken back with your statement, your turning to Bucky, “I’ll see you and Mr. Rogers on Monday sir, have a great weekend” your glancing back at the still starstruck Tony, “Mr. Stark, it was a pleasure to see you.”
You give them a final wave before your moving towards the elevator, the elevator Stark should have been on fifteen minutes ago. “wait y/n, I’ll go with you,” Stark speaks up finally finding his voice. You turn your head, fingers clicking the button, “well gentleman it was a pleasure to get with you all this month and go over numbers again right now with the way things are looking I’d really like to sit with you both one more time and talk about a merge -”
“Mr. Stark,” you call out, the elevator doors sliding open, “the elevator.”
“shoot,” he grunts, “I’ll send you an email,” he shouts over his shoulder as he jogs down the hallway, your heels stopping the doors from closing. Bucky watches on in amusement as Tony gets in with you, “so where we headed,” he hears Tony call out, and your eyes meet his in that moment.
“I don’t know where you plan on going Mr. Stark, but I plan on going down tonight.”
Bucky raises a brow at your words, a wink thrown at him just before the doors fall shut.
“So you and y/n,” Steve teases as they catch the next lift, Bucky looks at his best friend, Steve wiggles his brows.
“don’t start punk, not in the mood tonight.”
Steve barks out a laugh, “oh but I’m sure you will be once you get home.”
