chetvărtăk: Engagement/Marriage
Good afternoon, everyone! I’m still DoreyG and today's theme is Engagement/Marriage. Prompts can be anything to do with engagement or marriage, be it a young couple getting engaged or an old married pair renewing their vows.

“Of course,” Bucky said. “You might even be Steve’s Maid of Honor.”
“I’d rather be Best Man.”
And Bucky couldn’t help it, he laughed. “That can definitely be arranged.”
“Go,” Emma said, with a dismissive flick of her wrist. “Propose. Make it terribly romantic. Sweep him off his feet.”
“You know I will.”
“That I do.”

Steve looked at the entirety of the Avengers - minus Bucky - arrayed in the loft at Stark Tower and was terrified. It had seemed like a good idea at the time, but now that all of them were sitting there staring at him, he realized the enormity of what he was doing.
He loved Bucky. He wanted to marry Bucky. That was totally legal now. Steve was still old-fashioned enough that he wanted to be married, that he wanted to have a wedding and get their own house and see about maybe doing something with their last names. Emma had helped him work around a lot of his more harmful old-fashioned mindsets, but he didn’t want a blessing on his proposal to Bucky because he thought Bucky was chattel and couldn’t make the decision himself. He just - he wanted to know that when he and Bucky embarked on this new adventure, they’d have the support of the people who loved them most.
Except Steve’s family was dead, and Bucky’s family was dead, and who could Steve ask?
Well, the Avengers.
“Why are we here?” Natasha asked.
“You have to make it fast,” Tony said, “because soon I have to be - where, Pepper?”
Pepper sighed. “In an hour you have a meeting with the Board of Directors.”
“This is an all-Avengers thing, right?” Wanda asked. “Shouldn’t Bucky be here?”
“If it’s an all-Avengers thing,” Laura said, “should I be here?”
“You’re one of us, just like Pepper is.” Clint leaned over and gave her a kiss.
Sam sighed. “Everybody, give Steve a moment.” He smiled patiently. “Obviously whatever this is has caused you a lot of anxiety. Take a few deep breaths and -”
“I want to ask Bucky to marry me and I need your blessing.” The words came spilling out before Steve could stop them.
Peter raised his hand. “I’m not legally old enough to get married. Do I really get a say in this?”
“Where is your bride-price?” Thor asked.
Darcy smacked him on the arm. “Bucky’s not a bride!”
Jane smiled. “That’s very sweet, Steve. I totally give you my blessing.”
Vision said, “I believe Thor, as the only god among us, is the only one qualified to dispense any blessings.”
Steve buried his face in his hands. “Guys, please -”
“I think it’s a wonderful idea, Steve.” Pepper rose up and crossed the den, drew Steve into a hug. “Do you need help planning the wedding?”
Darcy bounced off of the couch. “Ooh! Let me pick your tuxes!”
Steve peered through his fingers at her. “Is that a yes?”
“Obviously.” Darcy beamed at him.
“I’m pretty sure I speak for everyone when I say I hope you and Bucky are happy,” Sam said.
“Thank you,” Steve said, relief settling into his limbs.
The elevator door slid open. “Hey, Steve,” Bucky said. He drew up short when he saw everyone gathered in the den.
“Hey, Buck. Perfect timing. I have a question for you.”
Bucky smiled. “I have one for you too.”
