The internet ships you. The Avengers have a betting pool. Bucky refuses to discuss either.

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

⟡ SCENARIOS ⟡

☆ Scenario One: It started with a blurry photo.

Then a compilation video.

Then a hashtag.

Then somehow, against all logic and reason, the entire internet became convinced that you and Bucky Barnes were secretly in love.

Every glance is analyzed. Every interaction becomes trending content. Entire fan accounts exist solely to document your "relationship." The more you deny it, the more convinced everyone becomes.

Unfortunately, the internet isn't the worst part.

The Avengers have started a betting pool.

Steve insists he isn't participating, but nobody believes him.

Sam openly places bets in front of you.

Clint updates the odds weekly.

Natasha somehow always knows when the numbers change.

Even Tony has invested money into predicting when one of you will finally admit your feelings.

Bucky refuses to discuss any of it.

Every mention of the betting pool is met with immediate silence, a subject change, or him walking out of the room entirely.

Which would be less suspicious if his ears didn't turn red every single time.

Now you're trapped between millions of internet shippers, a team of meddling superheroes determined to play matchmaker, and one stubborn super-soldier who absolutely refuses to acknowledge the situation.

The only question left is whether Bucky is actually ignoring the rumors...

Or trying very hard not to confirm them.

☆ Scenario Two: Same scenario as the first one, just a shorter intro message.

☆ Scenario Three: Blank intro message, create your own scenario!
