Peters POV

I had the entire tower to myself. it was amazing yet lonely. I grabbed my phone and started texting the boy from last night. He was alright i guess. I invite him over and he says hes gonna be about an hour so i make myself some food,eating happily and playing games on my phone. an hour later I hear jarvis tell me that the boy is outside so i bring him in. I look him up and down and hes covered in mud and snow.  "where were you?" i asked and the boy took off his beanie "work. on my way out i slipped and fell in a puddle." i frowned "stay here." I walked down to buckys room,seeing a single blanket on his bed and grabbing it. " he wont care if we use this." I smirked and walked out and back upstairs. the boy smiled and took the blanket, wiping the snow off with it before we go over,laying the blanket down and the lay down on it. We talk for awhile then we start to fool around. we fuck, it doesn't last to long but we did get bucky's blanket pretty dirty. oh well. we clean ourselves up and then the boy leaves.

Buckys POV

I walk in late from work coughing and sneezing, just wanting to get in my bed and curl up with my blanket. I walk into the living room and see peter eating a sandwich "hi..." peter looked up "hey frozone." i walked into the kitchen and turned on the stove, hovering my hand above it,trying to get warm. peter walks in and bumps into me,i flinch "sorry.." peter rolled his eyes and threw away his napkin. I cough and turn off the stove "can..can i make some pasta...or is that boy coming over again?" peter shrugged "he already came over. go ahead and cook. clean up the kitchen when youre done." and with that peter walked off. I wiped my nose and got a small pot with water, putting it on the stove to start boiling. While it does its doing its thing,i start cleaning. I hear it boiling so i get some noodles and put them in the water and start a timer. i stay by the stove since its warm. Peter walks in and throws a blanket at me "we used that by the way." I look down and see its my blanket. my only blanket. I stomp my foot and start crying " you had to use my blanket? my only damn blanket?! i know you hate me but you have like 25 blankets! of all sorts! big,small, fluffy,cozy, and everything else! i have this as my only warmth in my room! and now its covered in dirt a-and sweat!" I pick it up and throw it back at peter "fucking keep it!" peter looked slightly sad and scared but i ignored it and watched my pasta boil,crying silently. I heard peter walk off and I poured the water out and put some butter,salt,and pepper over my noodles before eating them, I finish awhile later and clean up my mess. I walk down to my room,sniffling "stupid kid... took my blanket n-now i have to save up for one..." i walk in my room and close the door. changing into my only pajamas and laying down,curling into a tight ball,trying to stay warm as i fall asleep.

*3am*

I wake up when i hear my door creak open, i whimper "i-i didn't do anything!j-just leave me alone!" Steve walks over "shh buck. its me. you're okay." I look up and whimper quietly "y-you're back early" Steve nodded and i crawled over to him. Steve frowned " why were you so curled up? wheres your blanket?" I look down "peter and some boy had sex on it... it was covered in mud and water...and other..things... a-and i cant do laundry so i just threw it back at him. now im without blanket...im fine though" steve pulled me closer and hugged me 'geez buck...you're freezing. i told peter to tell you to use my room whenever you needed. you should've gone up there" i nuzzle him "h-he didn't tell me... im sorry..." steve sighed and scooped me up "cmon. you're in my room tonight. then tomorrow im taking you shopping." i shake my head "n-no then ill never be able to afford paying you back plus my bill with tony.... or being able to get my blanket.." steve shook his head "think of it as a late birthday present. you need it buck. " i sniffle "i..tony will..." steve shook his head " ill deal with him. cmon" steve got up with me and carried me to his room. i coughed  hard and steve sighed "see, youre sick. itll get worse if you stay in that room. " i whimpered "im sorry..." steve set me down and pet my cheek "go take a bath. im not asking, im telling. go on. " i nod and walk to his bathroom. It was huge. at leadt 20x the size of mine. I rubbed my arm and started the bath.making it as hot as possible.  I strip and slip in the tub,gasping at the warmth. I take it all in, playing with the water. Steve walks in and sits on the floor next to the tub with a note pad "i called your boss, youre off the next two days." i look up wide eyed "n-no! i cant be! they'll fire me... ive never missed a day! i-i-" steve cut me off "calm down.they said it was okay,buck. they know how hard you work. they also told me you got promoted.why didnt you tell me?" I chewed on my lip "i was going to but you were gone... t-they gave me a slight raise...a few extra bucks." steve smiled "good job buck. im proud of you." i smiled and looked at the water "thank you... for letting me use your bath... " steve nodded "you're welcome. now lets make a list of what we're going to get you." I play with the water "just.. a blanket... and a pillow please." steve wrote it down "we're getting you a full bed set. " i sigh "steve." steve looked up "dont argue." i sigh again and nod "okay..." steve wrote things down " what else?" i bite my lip " some new socks...and underwear... all of mine have holes." steve nodded  and wrote it down "alright." i washed my face and hair before getting out since the water was getting cold. Steve got me a towel and dried me off "alright buck. lets get you in bed." i nod and got my pajamas on before walking over and crawling into his bed "Jesus.. your bed is so warm...and soft" i nuzzled the blankets and curled up. steve crawled in next to me and smiled " glad you like it. now sleep. you'll be safe. don't worry." i nod and curl up to his side since he was warm. i fell asleep with ease on my mind.
