Chapter Text
One, two, three
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Babe, pick a night
To come out and play
If it's alright
What do you say?
Tony lay awake in the room he shared with Steve, listening to his boyfriends moans echoing down the hall. Why had he been listening to Steve’s yelling Bucky’s name for the past hour you ask? Well, because Tony made a dumb ass decision to keep him around just to lose him anyway.
Tony had only been dating Steve for about 5 months when Bucky Barnes decided to show up in their lives. Steve and Sam had been chasing down the soldier for some time with no luck, when he literally showed up on their couch. The couple had just arrived back to the tower from a gala Pepper had forced on them when they received the shock of their lives. Tony couldn’t even remember what they had been talking about on the way up, because as soon as he saw Barnes and saw the look on Steve’s face when he realized who it was, well they didn’t call Tony a genius for nothing. Tony saw the writing on the wall, but that didn’t mean he didn’t want to cling to the corner of happiness he’d found for as long as he could.
After a week of watching Steve’s longing gazes and Bucky’s smirk back knowing exactly what Steve wanted when he gave those looks, Tony told Steve he should be with Bucky to. The team thought Tony was doing it for altruistic reasons, but in actuality, Tony’s motivations we purely selfish. He knew at some point Steve would go back to the love of his life, but Tony wanted to keep the super soldier around for as long as possible before that happened. It worked for a while, but as usual it was Tony’s issues that began to drive Steve further and further away from him, that issue being their sex life.
The problem wasn’t that Steve didn’t enjoy sex with Tony, the problem was that Tony’s sex drive had diminished over the years. He still enjoyed it, especially with Steve since he loved the man, but usually Steve would have to coax Tony in the mood. Being that Tony’s body was getting more sex than it actually needed; Tony hadn’t initiated sex with Steve since that first month they were together. It often made Steve feel that he was pressuring Tony when in actuality Tony felt the exact opposite. He loved that Steve wanted him that much so even if he wasn’t in the mood, he felt desired and loved to the point he wanted to make Steve feel as good as he made Tony feel. If Steve’s moans and cries of ecstasy when inside Tony were anything to go by, Tony had been doing a damn good job of it to.
But of course, no one wants someone they have to convince to have sex with them all the time. Of course Steve wanted a boyfriend that would just look at him and not be able to keep from climbing him like a tree. All of which Steve now got in spades with Bucky. The distance between Tony and Steve happened gradually. The first couple of weeks Steve managed to split his time between the two men pretty well when they weren’t all together. It was fairly easy with Bucky now staying in the penthouse of the Tower with them. The first time Tony saw Steve slipping through his fingers was when Bucky came up from the gym, still sweaty from his work out and gazed heatedly at Steve before licking his lips. Steve flushed beside where he and Tony were cuddling on the sofa. He barely kissed Tony goodbye tripping over himself to follow Bucky after the soldier announced he was going to shower.
That was pretty much the beginning of the end. Tony found himself alone more and more often, listening to the guttural cries of each man flooding the penthouse more and more often to the point he started to avoid it and just shut himself in his lab to work. After coming up for air one day, hoping to catch Steve and get some alone time, Tony saw them together for the first time. It had been about three months into their arrangement and Tony was growing a little tired of being in second place. He had already told himself that he would break it off with Steve a few weeks ago and had tried several times. Problem was every time he tried to talk to Steve, Tony would receive the biggest smile when he walked into the room. Steve would look at Tony as if he missed him more than breathing, and Tony could never find it in himself to make that smile disappear.
He had more or less become resigned to his current situation with the only silver lining being those moments he had alone with his soldier, when he walked off the elevator to Bucky fucking Steve over the sofa. Tony had direct line of sight to the pair right in front of him as soon as he exited. Steve was sitting on the sofa arm, eyes closed and head thrown back clutching Bucky’s shoulders as he stood between Steve’s legs. Cum covered Steve’s chest showing he had got off at least twice already, as Bucky held his legs up pounding into him. Bucky was the only one to notice him enter and acknowledged him with a “Hey Tones” not bothering to stop his efforts to drive Steve to further heights of incoherence. Tony didn’t want to verify if Steve noticed him or not, the answer would hurt too much if it was what he assumed it was, as he gave a nod back saying he was going to shower.
Steve climbed into bed later, spouting apologies which Tony waved off, before holding Tony in those massive arms and asking about his day. They talked for about half an hour before Tony began to drift off, thinking maybe the painful display had been worth it if this is what he got afterwards. Of course time proved him wrong. He barely was asleep a few moments before he felt Steve slip out the bed. Tony stayed awake till morning lying in bed alone, hearing the moans off and on through the night. He pretended to still be asleep when Steve slipped back into bed that morning around 6 and promptly went to sleep.
Tony couldn’t blame him, after having maybe a couple hours sleep between each marathon, even a super soldier would been worn out.
Less than a month later everything changed, and Tony can say with complete certainty that for once it was not his fault.
Tony had grown numb to the pain in his chest from Steve and Bucky, had managed to talk to Bucky more casually without feeling to jealous. He’d even been able to fall asleep after Steve would sneak out their room on the nights he’d designated to spend with Tony only to spend them with Bucky instead. He knew if he told Steve how he felt the man would make himself unhappy just to make Tony happy, so Tony kept quiet. He was used to hiding his feelings so it wasn’t a hard thing to do, and when they were alone together Tony honestly was happy, even if those times weren’t often. Bucky still took up the majority of Steve’s time, but Tony couldn’t complain when Steve was getting everything he got from Tony from him as well as great sex whenever he wanted it.
So Tony stayed not saying a word about what he was feeling. He was fine… No really he was, Tony Stark never believed in fairy tale romances and was happy when Steve was around. This was probably the best he could ask for.
It was the night of Steve’s birthday that things took a turn Tony did not see coming. He and Steve had been making out on their bed, grinding into each other while slowly growing more and more heated. Steve was supposed to spend tonight with Bucky, but had wanted to spend some time with Tony before he went to the other man’s room. It had probably been about 3 months since Tony had been without sex because Steve but didn’t want to push him if he didn’t already want it with him, but when Steve kissed him good night saying ‘I love you’, Tony couldn’t help it as he deepened the kiss. Steve had groaned into the other man’s mouth as it happened, settling Tony under him fairly quickly as he responded to Tony’s need.
They were both still fully clothed, cock’s hard as nails from grinding against each other for nearly 20 minutes, when Steve finally broke the kiss to gaze heatedly down at Tony. It took a few minutes for Tony to come back to reality and he only did so because Steve chuckled at him while dodging Tony’s attempts to bring their lips back together. Steve gave him another peck on the lips before saying, “It’s been so long since I was able to be with you like this baby. I don’t want to push you but I really miss having you under me.”
Trying to pull Steve’s body back down to his and hearing the man chuckle as he was unable to made Tony growl out a frustrated whine. “Then why the hell are you stopping Rogers? Get naked and put your dick in me already.”
Steve laughed softly again as he gave into Tony, pressing their erections together and making them both moan as he peppered kisses across Tony’s face. “I love you so much sweetheart, no one makes angry as sexy as you do.” Pausing in his words he kissed Tony for a moment swallowing his moans. “I want to ask you something, but I don’t want you to feel like you have to say yes. There’s no way I’m not making love to you tonight, not when I’ve been waiting so long for you to want it.”
When Steve looked down at him again, expression hesitant, Tony brought a hand up to his cheek caressing it. “Hey, you know you can ask me anything. I love you so it kinda makes me happy to make you happy. Besides,” Tony paused smirking up at Steve, “There is a very small amount of things I haven’t done in bed and even less I didn’t like. The odds are definitely in your favor that what you want I’m totally down for.”
Steve chuckled out a groan saying, “uh, I’ll never be able to see that movie again without getting a hard on. Thanks for that.” He leaned down again as he kissed Tony before his expression grew more serious. “I know you love me and want to make me happy, but I don’t want you to say yes unless it’s something that will make you happy to.” Steve grinned at Tony’s eye roll before shaking his head and continuing. “I’d um, well I’ve really been wanting to be with both you and Bucky, at the same time. So if you’re uh, okay with that, I’d love for it to be tonight.”
When Tony agreed, Steve’s face grew radiant as he kissed Tony again before racing out the room to retrieve the other man. Tony made sure his expression didn’t betray how he truly felt about what Steve wanted until the other man left the room. He would rather eat his suit then watch the full Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers love fest, but Tony reasoned he may be able to use this to draw Steve back in somewhat. If Steve thought Tony was okay with the three of them in bed, he might ask Tony to be with them more often. Tony would get more time with his boyfriend who’d still get to have boyfriend number 1 fuck him into the mattress and not have to sneak out their room for it. Tony could even ignore them if they fucked again through the night, it wasn’t like he wasn’t used to it already and hadn’t learned to sleep through the noise.
Yeah, everything would be totally fine, this was definitely not a bad idea.
This was a Terrible idea…
The reasoning that brought Tony to this moment, lying under Steve as he fucked Tony while Bucky held Steve’s hips driving into him above them both, Tony realized at that moment was complete insanity on his part. Tony stared into Steve’s face, seeing the man absolutely wrecked from the dual sensations. He squeezed around Steve’s dick, causing the man to groan loudly saying Tony and Bucky’s names. Knowing that he was a part of driving Steve to this point was the only thing keeping him hard. Tony was nowhere near coming but was trying his hardest to focus on Steve and enjoy the man being in him.
This would all have been a whole lot easier if Bucky would shut the fuck up.
Usually he was all for dirty talk in his partners, but it was completely different when it was geared toward the man you love and coming from the man you were jealous of. It wasn’t even as if Bucky was talking the entire time, but the times were close enough together that when Tony would manage to make himself think he was alone with Steve, he’d hear Bucky saying ‘fuck you take it so good Stevie’ or ‘love the way you moan for me baby’. So yeah, after 30 minutes of trying and failing Tony was ready to end this as quickly as possible. Tony knew after orgasm 3 Steve would be down for the count for at least a couple hours, super soldier refractory period doing only so much. He’d already come hard twice, once with Tony’s mouth while Bucky fingered him open and again after finally getting inside Tony once he’d stretched the smaller man open, Bucky fucking him slowly from behind. Tony did what he could to push Steve along to the third, squeezing around his length moving inside Tony and biting down on his nipples.
Steve lasted another 5 minutes under Tony’s assault. The sensations Tony and Bucky were giving him finally drove the man over the edge and he groaned before collapsing on top of Tony. Bucky had stopped thrusting not long after as he came as well for the first time. He peppered the back of Steve’s neck with kisses giving words of praise at how good Steve was and how much Bucky loved him. Tony lay underneath him kissing his shoulders and rubbing Steve’s side as he came down from his orgasm. After a moment he slid off Tony, arms wrapping around his torso to embrace him tightly. Bucky gave Steve a wet towel after wiping the traces of his cum, obviously knowing Tony would rather be cleaned up by him, before lying on Steve’s other side.
Though his erection had flagged after the other two had come, Tony began to get hard again as Steve kissed beneath his ear and rubbed the towel gently between his legs. When Steve’s arm brushed against it and Tony moaned softly, Steve looked down and noticed he hadn’t come. When a look of guilt rushed across Steve’s face, Tony quickly shushed him before he could say anything. “It’s alright Steve, seeing you lose yourself was more than enough for me. Besides,” Tony shrugged giving him a small smile, “It’s your birthday so tonight should be all about you.”
Rising up on his elbow and resting his head on his hand, Bucky kissed Steve’s cheek as he said, “He’s right Stevie, tonight was about you.”
Turning his head and groaning ashamed into the pillow Steve said, “So because it’s my birthday both my boyfriends have to go to bed with a hard on?”
Tony turned to curl his body into Steve’s as he snorted saying, “We’ll live, pretty sure no one’s died from blue balls yet.” When Steve’s face came up from hiding and looked at Tony, his expression was curious before it became very red and embarrassed. “What?” Tony asked wanting to know what brought about those looks.
“I just had… The thought of, uh, you two…” Steve paused looking even more embarrassed but now turned on as well. Tony was sure if he could have gotten it up again Steve would be full mast right now. “You two could finish together if you wanted.”
Tony was frozen against Steve, mind stuttering to a halt as he replayed the man’s words over in his head a couple more times. Looking up to Barnes’ face above Steve’s, Tony caught the man giving him a once over coming back up to meet his eyes. He looked interested in a way that said he wouldn’t consider it a loss if Tony said no, which Tony couldn’t really blame him for when he was fucking the epitome of human perfection every night. This nor Bucky shrugging before he said “I’d be okay with that,” made Tony want to jump at the chance to fuck Bucky Barnes.
As Tony thought through it he saw more pros than cons to agreeing. With Bucky not rattling off porn phrases to Steve, Tony might not only enjoy this but he could also cement to Steve this 3 way thing might work if he chose to continue down his insane path. He could at least try; if Tony hated it he could always stop him. So Tony looked up to Bucky as he shrugged and said, “Why not.”
Honestly, what’s the worst that could happen?
Steve moved from between his two lovers to the end of the bed, wanting to give them a feeling a being alone without actually leaving the room. He watched as Bucky stroked the huge length between his legs as he gave Tony an arrogant look asking, “You sure can handle this Stark?”
Steve chuckled softly as he saw Tony roll his eyes. “You may have been a playboy in the 40’s Barnes but I was one in the 90’s and unlike you we had porn. Pretty sure I know moves you haven’t heard of.” Bucky moved over to lay above Tony between his legs. Steve’s fingers twitched wanting to draw the men together, hoping like hell this worked out like he wanted.
Steve realized these past few weeks he had been neglecting Tony. He loved him so much it hurt, but he loved Bucky to. Coupled with the fact that he had just got Bucky back after so long and the fact Tony wasn’t as into sex and Steve was, he’d been with Bucky far more since they all got together than he had with Tony. Even Bucky had brought it to his attention, that Tony had been spending way more time in his lab than he was in the penthouse most days. He had been pushing Steve to fix things once they noticed the man had become an acquaintance passing through instead of a resident. Even though he tried to hide it, both soldiers saw the slight uneasiness he had around them every once in a while.
When Tony had come up from his lab after being down there for 3 days, Steve had been so happy that he only realized Tony had a haunted look in his eyes after they’d parted. Steve still couldn’t shake the feeling that he had come up break things off, the look on his face at first seemed sad but resigned. It was only there a moment before it was gone and he was in Steve’s arms again, but it kept trailing through Steve’s mind anyway. He had tried to do better, make Tony feel more definite of his place within their relationship, but was failing miserably. Steve would talk with Tony in bed at night, see the passion he had as he spoke about whatever project he was working on and grow so hard dick ached. He had told himself it wasn’t fair to push sex on Tony when he wasn’t in the mood for it, even if Steve could work him up enough to want it. So Steve would stay with him until the Tony went to sleep, then sneak into Bucky’s room to keep his hands off Tony. But it seemed the more Steve tried, the worse things got. Tony barely even smiled anymore, and Steve knew he was the reason for it.
So he watched Bucky sit back on his feet between Tony’s legs and his hands traveled Tony’s thighs, he hoped they’d like being together. Steve knew if they didn’t, he was going to lose Tony and his heart ached at the thought.
Breaking him from his thoughts, Steve smiled as he heard Tony challenge Bucky. Steve slapped a hand over his face and shook his head. Bucky was going to shatter Tony to pieces, but Steve knew from experience he’d enjoy every second of it.
