Prompt: Imagine a summer camp au where Steve wakes up one night to find his best friend in some kid named Tony's bunk pinning him down and making out. Steve's mad at Bucky for hiding it from him but Tony misunderstands and thinks Steve's gonna tell the camp adviser on them so he tries to avoid Bucky for the next week out of fear - Anonymous

Tony

Tony feels kind of like a moron, slinking around. Something he really isn't all that familiar with. But he refused to do anything else. He has been avoiding Bucky like the plague. So much so even Rhodey had called him out on it that morning while they were grouping up for the camp hike. Tony had loitered around until he saw which hike Bucky was taking, then promptly took the other one.

"Dude." Rhodey hisses as Tony drags him into the 10 mile hike group. "This isn't going to fix anything."

Tony, in typical Stark fashion, ignores his friend in favor of hiding himself in the crowd. He can feel Bucky's eyes on him. Yet he was immensely grateful he stuck to Steve's side, and hadn't come after him. Steve who had yelled at Bucky last night in hushed tones and who would be going to the camp aids any second now. Or at least should be.

Tony could only imagine his father's face as he learned his only son was screwing around during summer camp with another guy. It was okay with girls, but guys were another matter. Howard would never understand. He never did.

Tony peaks around Rhodey, much to his friend's exasperation. Bucky is fussing over Steve's backpack. Steve is obviously annoyed about something because he keeps waving his skinny arms in the air. Tony growls low in his throat at the sight. Steve didn't know just how jealous their friendship made him.

"Oh yes, this is healthy Tones." Rhodey sighes.


Steve

Bucky is pouting. Steve recognizes the look a mile away, even if he couldn't see it. The blond huffed as they hiked. Unfortunately for him, Bucky heard. The taller teen's head whips around and brown eyes searches for signals that something was wrong.

"I'm fine Buck." Steve pants slightly. And he was. This was the easy trail. Not the ten mile hike most everyone else went on. Including the teen Bucky had been...

Steve turns his brain away from the mental image as Bucky passes him a water bottle.

"Drink." Bucky insists. He even waves his hand over his head and one of the camp aids pulled off to the side to wait for them.

"I'm fine." Steve repeated, taking sips of water.

The silence coming from Bucky is weird. The two had never needed words between them for it to be comfortable, but Steve also knew he was responsible for whatever had happened between Bucky and Tony.

Steve passes the water back and the two continue on.


Rhodey

Rhodey is going to strangle Tony. It had been two days since whatever had happened happened. The antsy genius teen routine was old. It had been old since the first hour had passed. Now? Now it was worse.

"Tones, why don't you just talk to him?" Rhodey is honestly at a loss. From what he understood, Tony liked Bucky, a lot. And Bucky obviously returned the feelings. Yet, Tony is avoiding the guy. Tony is doing such a good job at it, it left him alone to get jumped by Bucky. Tony, the coward had abandoned him to Bucky. That had been- interesting. And Unnerving. Very unnerving.

"No." Tony says distractedly as he fiddles with old wires, trying still to get one of the cafeteria lights to work.

"Why not?"

There is silence as Tony ignores him.

"Look. Tony. If you wont do it for yourself, do it for me." That got Tony's attention.

"You?" Tony's eyebrows were raised so high they disappear into his bangs.

"Me. Did you know I had Bucky nearly assault me on my way back from the bathroom. You know, when you ran away?"

Tony sniggers and Rhodey punches him in the shoulder. Tony leans back and the blow barely connects.

"It wasn't cool man. Bro's intense." Rhodey muttered. Bucky had pulled him into a cluster of trees and had almost physically pinned him to one of the sturdier ones. Not that he needed to, his glare was good enough to keep Rhodey in place. The guy had issues. Issues Rhodey wasn't going to touch with a ten foot pole. Then Bucky had proceeded to grill him about Tony.

"Look, whatever's going on between you two." Rhodey pulls Tony's hands away from the wires as he goes back to ignoring him. "Whatever it is, Bucky likes you, isn't that enough?"

Tony sighes. "I can't Rhodey. It's just," Tony trails off.

"Just..."

"It's complicated."

Rhodey groans. "Oh facebook, why did you have to take my friend away from me?" He throws his hands in the air. "Woe is..."

He cuts off as the cafeteria doors swing open. His eyes widen.

"Whoops. Gotta go." Rhodey says as he scrambles to his feet, making a b-line for the door.

Tony protests loudly. "Where are you...?" Then stops, freezing in place like a deer in headlights.


Bucky

Bucky is nearly crawling out of his skin. The little twerp has been avoiding him ever since that night. He can still feel Tony's breath on his neck. His lithe body pinned under his. Tony's muffled cry against his mouth as he came. Then of course Steve had happened.

Steve who had been horrified to find Bucky in the act with another camper. Of course Steve had been upset. Not about the two of them, but for Bucky hiding it from him. When Bucky had turned back to Tony, the guy was gone. Steve of course had been very apologetic about the whole thing.

Bucky had to give the guy props though. Tony is good at slipping away from him. Very good. Though that didn't make it any better. Steve had even kept apologizing. Once Steve had even tried to talk to Tony about it, and Bucky hadn't seen Tony since. It was frustrating and depressing all at the same time.

But now Bucky has Tony cornered. He had overheard one of the camp advisers talking about Tony. Apparently his habit of getting into trouble was getting noticed and he had been sent to try to get the cafeteria lighting working again. Something to keep him out of the way and occupied. Also, somewhere where he could find him easily.

Bucky watches as Rhodey hurries past, and out of the building, leaving Tony staring at him. Bucky watches his face go from horror-struck to carefully blank.

"What?" Bucky can't help but snap. "You really hate me that much?"

Tony's mouth pops open, like he cannot believe what he's hearing.

"I, what?" He squeaks like somehow he misunderstood.

"You heard me. You've been avoiding me, wont talk to me, heck, you wont even look at me." The words pour out in a rush.

Tony, curse him, just continues to kneel there, hands full of wiring, gaping.

"Well?" Bucky prompts.

Seconds pass and Tony says nothing. Eventually Bucky snorts and turns to leave.

"Wait!" Tony finally says something. "Wait, I don't."

There's another pause. Bucky doesn't turn back around. Can't.

"I don't hate you." Tony's voice is small, hesitant. It makes Bucky turn back around to see his lover hanging his head, black hair hiding his face. But his body language screams his pain. Bucky, closes the distance and pulls his idiot genius into a hug.

"Then why are you avoiding me?" Bucky asks. Tony squirms in his arms, trying to get away. Bucky isn't sure if its from him, the question of both. But he still doesn't let go.

"Tony?" He prods. The younger teen sighs against Bucky, stilling. Though one hand reaches up to mess with his prosthetic arm.

"Steve." The name is muffled against Bucky's camp shirt.

Bucky tenses and lets go of Tony. Mental images of his best friend and Tony fill his brain. Bucky thinks he might be sick.

"No!" Tony reaches back out for Bucky and pulls him back in. Something must have shown on his face because Tony's laughing and rushing to reassure him.

"It's nothing like that. Eww. Gross. Steve is..." Tony shakes his head, still chuckling. "Not my type handsome."

Dully reassured Bucky feels himself relaxing, though the ingrained need to protect Steve rears its' head. "Steve's a good guy."

"And completely straight." Tony points out. "Do you know how often he pulls out those pictures of him and Peggy on that date last month?" Tony rolls his eyes. "Peggy this, Peggy, that. If I ever meet Peggy, I might just hate her on principle. No one is that flawless."

By the end of Tony's rant, Bucky is laughing too. "He does go on and on." He agrees, pulling Tony back in for another hug.

After their laughter subsides Bucky tries his question again. "So why are you avoiding me?"

Bucky tightens his arms once more as Tony begins again to squirm. "Tony." He warns and the teen stills. "What does Steve have to do with it?"

There's a long moment of silence. So long Bucky thinks Tony will pull away and not answer. Bucky's almost convinced maybe he shouldn't ask, when Tony speaks. Finally.

"He said he'd tell the camp adviser about me." Tony scuffed his shoe against the wooden floor.

Bucky's mind reels. Steve said what? And he might have said that aloud because Tony repeats himself.

"When?" Bucky asks after Tony's finished for the second time.

"That..." Tony's face gets red and he begins to squirm again for an entirely different reason. "After we had..."

Bucky blinks. He goes back over the conversation. "Tony." He begins, still racking his brain. "I don't remember Steve saying anything of the sort." Bucky snorts as he remembers Steve being highly upset over Bucky not telling him about the relationship. There might have even been a few words about inappropriate behavior in there too. Bucky had told Steve later to lay off it. After all, it had been Tony who had started it.

"But he...!" Tony tries to insist only to have Bucky cut him off by kissing him.

"Steve didn't, and wouldn't." Bucky says pulling away, satisfied to hear Tony whimper at the loss of contact. Tony has gone from ramrod straight to pliant and wanting within seconds of the kiss. "But if it would make you feel better, I can have him tell you himself. I'm sure he'd love to. I've been giving him a bad time. Now he's really going to feel terrible since he really is the one who ran you off." Bucky can't help but groan at the mental image of Steve's heartbroken face.

Tony shakes his head, reaches up and pulls Bucky's back down until their lips meet.

"Shut up." Tony grouses. Everything else could wait.
