Steve snorted at that. Go snuggle your Omega, make sure she knows you aren't mad at her. She was texting Ella last night, apparently she was rather upset. He left it at that. Hopefully that would be enough to get Tony talking, or at least giving her attention again.
|
I told you we're working things out. Don't you have your own Beta and Omega to fuss over? Tony did, however, pull Sim a bit closer and nuzzle her hair.
|
Sim blinked at that, but didn't try to move away. It wasn't a bad thing, just unexpected.
Steve chuckled quietly and went to go check on Ella and see how she was doing. |
Tony was good with staying there for a while. It was still early in the day; that just meant that they had all day to make things okay again.
Ella was on her feet as soon as Steve and Bucky came through the door. "I saw what happened," she said. "Are you both alright? He didn't make you too angry, did he?" |
"We're okay," Bucky said. "Stevie got all riled up but he's better."
Steve smiled a bit. "I'm okay," he promised. |
"You sure?" Ella asked, going over to nuzzle them both. "I don't want either of you upset."
|
"It's fine," Steve said, kissing her forehead. "I was angry, but Tony helped some. Besides, you're fine, and that's what matters."
|
"Tony saw the footage?" Ella asked. "I guess that's not too surprising, all things considered."
|
"Considering they're in Italy, he really shouldn't have," Bucky pointed out with a grin. "But this is Stark, he probably is going a little nuts over there without his lab."
|
"I think they might all be airing some things out about their relationship," Ella said. "I haven't gotten anything from Sim since last night, so I'm not sure how well it's going."
|
"Tony said they were working things out," Steve said. "I'm guessing it's good that you haven't heard from her. Means she's not alone and hiding." He wrapped his arms around her waist loosely, just holding her there.
|
"He'd better be taking care of her," Ella said, putting her head on his shoulder.
|
"I'm sure he is. Or will be soon, once he gets himself figured out," Steve soothed. "He's not very good with emotions."
Bucky snorted. Understatement of the year. |
"Still, he'd better not hurt her at all," Ella said. She snuggled between the two of them. "Aside from the interviewer, how did everything go?"
|
"Fine," Bucky said with a shrug.
"Pretty well," Steve said. "Nothing else went wrong, which is always a plus." |
"Good," Ella said. "Now hopefully they all know better than to ask questions like that."
|
"If they don't, I'll tell them off again," Steve said with a little grin. Because he would not mind doing that when necessary.
|
"I will admit, I did kind of like seeing that," Ella said, turning a bit pink. "I enjoyed watching you do that."
|
Steve just nuzzled her and gave her a quick kiss. "You and Bucky both," he said.
"Yeah, not denying that one. It's always fun to watch you chew out people." Bucky grinned. "Especially since I don't have to fish you out of garbage cans afterwards anymore." |
Ella returned the kiss.
"We're supposed to like it when our Alpha gets all protective and commanding," she teased gently. |
Steve just grinned and shook his head, content to settle in there for a while with his two.
|
Elsewhere, Tony was finally settling in properly with Bruce and Sim.
"Sightseeing tomorrow?" he suggested to them both. "We need to get out of here for a bit, sightseeing is totally the way to go." |
"Alright," Sim agreed. She paused for a moment. "How close are we to Florence?"
|
"Close enough," Tony said. "We can be there pretty quickly." Of course, he still had the jet. They could be anywhere Sim wanted pretty quickly.
|
"We're climbing the Duomo," Sim said with a grin. "And looking in a few other churches."
