They both grinned, and Bucky snagged the notepad and pen, writing down his and Steve's numbers.
"There you go," he said, handing them back. |
"Thanks," Ella said, smiling at them both. She unconsciously put out more happy-Omega pheromones.
|
Steve shivered, just a little, and smiled. Oh yes, he was very pleased with how things were going.
"We'll see you again soon," he promised. |
"I'll be in the store tomorrow," Ella said. "I mean, if you want to stop in." She turned a bit pink.
|
Steve and Bucky both grinned.
"We'll stop by," Bucky agreed. "Until tomorrow, then." |
"See you both tomorrow," Ella said, nodding and smiling at them. Then she reluctantly headed up into her apartment.
|
They both headed back to the tower. Oh they very much wanted to keep her around. Very much so.
|
Over the next few weeks, Ella found she was getting more and more attached to Steve and Bucky. They all went out on a few more dates, and there were even a couple of one-on-one dates so Ella could get to know them both individually.
|
So about a month after they'd met her, Steve and Bucky asked her to move in.
"So, Ella," Steve said, fidgeting and hesitating. "What he's trying to ask is if you want to move in with us." Bucky grinned, though he was also nervous. He was just better at hiding it. |
"Move in?" Ella asked, a bit surprised. "Like, into the tower?" She hadn't been expecting that, although she had gotten the feeling recently that the three of them were about ready to take another step in their relationship.
|
Steve nodded. "Yeah. We've got our own apartment, basically. It's like a whole floor. There's two extra bedrooms in there." Since he and Bucky shared. "So there's plenty of room, you know, if you want your own room, and we've got a fridge..."
"And you're rambling," Bucky said, grinning. Steve just blushed a bit more. |
Ella blushed as well.
"You know, I think I do," she said. "Want to move in with you both, I mean." |
Steve beamed, and Bucky nodded.
"Great," he said. "When?" The sooner the better, in his own humble opinion. |
Ella considered that for a moment.
"Rent for the month is up in two weeks," she said. "I can pack up by then." |
"Let us know if you need any help," Steve offered. "We can come by, we don't mind."
"And Tony will give us a car if we want, to help move stuff," Bucky added. |
"I'll let you know," Ella said, nodding. "I'll text you both if I need to."
|
"Good." Steve grinned. "Two weeks. Sounds like about two weeks too long."
|
"I'm sure it does," Ella teased. "You'll make it. I just need to ride out the end of the month, that's all. Get the most out of my rent."
|
Steve chuckled. "Alright. Well, like we said, let s know if there's anything we can do."
|
"I will, I promise," Ella said. She smiled at them. "How did I get so lucky to end up with you two?"
|
"I think you've got it the wrong way around, there, sweetie," Steve pointed out with a little smile.
|
"No, I do think I'm the lucky one," Ella said, smiling. "After all, you both decided you liked me enough to court me."
|
Steve shook his head but Bucky just smirked, deciding not to push it for now.
"Either way, we're all lucky," he said. "How about we leave it at that?" |
"I think that's fair," Ella said, grinning. "Now, I need to start planning out how I'm going to pack if I'm going to be moving in with you both."
|
"Sure. We'll let you get to work." Bucky grinned. "See you again soon, doll." He didn't quite drag Steve out but he did have to give him a little push out the door.
