The past two weeks had gone by in a blur. As Bucky predicted, the owner of the cafe was desperate for help, and he hired you on the spot the day after you moved into the brownstone. Thankfully, you had worked at a Starbucks for a summer between sophomore and junior year of high school, so you had an upper hand when it came to making drinks. You had been working almost every day (except Sunday of course), sometimes even picking up two shifts in one day. The money was decent, and you always got to take any leftover sandwiches when you closed the cafe.
“Heading out, Y/N?” your boss asked as you pulled off your apron. Jarvis seemed entirely too dapper to own a cafe, but he really seemed to enjoy his work. His British accent always amused you, and you liked to give him a hard time over how he pronounced certain words. He was incredibly kind, which wasn’t surprising since he let you have Sundays off. You knew better than to underestimate him though. Wanda, one of your co-workers, had told you about a time he had single-handedly beat up a couple of drunk guys for making a pass at her and refusing to leave.
You hung your apron on one of the hooks behind the counter. “Yeah, I’m leaving,” you replied. “Unless you need me to stay?”
“You’re fine to go. You’ve been here all day,” Jarvis said.
Secretly, you were relieved. You had worked three doubles in five days days, and it was starting to take a toll on you. Thankfully, tomorrow was Sunday, so you could catch up on some sleep.
Jarvis picked up on your tired expression right away. “I know these hours haven’t been easy,” he said, kindly. “You’re one of my best workers, and I appreciate you coming in so much. Once my college kids come back for the new school year, you can cut back a bit.”
College. That one word stopped you dead in your tracks. You were supposed to be in California in three days getting ready to move in your dorm. Swallowing, you mustered a small smile. Apparently, you hadn’t completely gotten over the fact that you weren’t going to anywhere this fall.
“Thanks Jarvis. Night.” You waved goodbye and made the short trip next door to the bookstore where Bucky worked.
The bell chimed as you opened the door, and you saw Bucky standing behind the counter ringing up a customer. The bookstore reminded you a bit of his room at home, with books covering every conceivable surface. The store was a converted house, and shelves lined the walls from the floor to the ceiling. Plush chairs and couches were placed strategically throughout the store for readers who wanted to stay and enjoy the atmosphere. Even though your schedule didn’t always match Bucky’s, you didn’t mind waiting for him to finish up his shifts. He had become like a big brother to you, and you enjoyed his company.
You sat down on a big green chair and let your legs dangle over the side. Resting your head against the back cushion, you sighed. Working so many hours had not only kept your body busy, but also your mind. You had barely had time to stop and think about your current situation, but Jarvis’ innocent mention of college brought reality crashing back over you. It was really a miracle you had lasted this long before breaking. You blinked back tears as Bucky walked over.
“Hey, how was work?” he asked.
“Fine,” you replied, shrugging your shoulders. He saw right through your attempt to appear nonchalant.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I’m just tired.” Your body betrayed you, and your vision became blurry as your eyes swam with tears. The bell above the door chimed, signalling the entrance of another customer. You quickly wiped at your face, trying to erase any evidence of you crying.
Bucky reached out his hand. “Come on.” You reluctantly grasped his hand, and he pulled you over behind the counter. You sat down on the floor out of sight from customers, and your arms wrapped you in a tight ball. Your shoulders shook as you cried into your knees.
Bucky stared down at you, completely out of his element. With no other ideas, he pulled his phone out and opened the group text.
Bucky: SOS @ bookstore. Something’s wrong with Y/N.
Almost immediately, his phone buzzed with responses.
Steve: What’s wrong?
Nat: Is she hurt?
Sam: What happened?
Tony: What did you do?
Bucky: Idk, but she’s behind my counter crying. What should I do?
Bucky: Geez, Tony, really?
Nat: Omw. Try not to make it worse
Steve: Be there in 10.
Clint: I’m delivering a pizza a couple miles away from you. I’ll stop by.
Bucky: I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING NAT!
Steve: Clint, are you texting and driving? Don’t you know how dangerous that is?
Bruce: Sorry, I’m at the lab.
Clint: Shut it. I’m at a damn red light.
Sam: You’re always at the lab Bruce! Can’t you spare five minutes?
Sam: Heading over now btw. Tony, need a ride?
Bruce: This won’t take five minutes!
Tony: Yeah, boss is letting me leave now.
Clint: Bruce, I’m coming to the lab first. Get your ass outside or I’m dragging you out.
Steve: Clint!
Clint: Steve!
Bruce: Fine, but you need to bring me back after.
Tony: Where’s Thor?
Sam: Gym.
Nat: Gym
Clint: Gym prob
Bucky: I put the closed sign up but the door’s unlocked. Just come in.
Clint: Got it boss.
Steve: CLINT STOP TEXTING AND DRIVING
You weren’t really sure how long you sat behind the counter crying, but it felt good to finally get it all out. Bucky had rung out the last customer and disappeared out in the store for a few minutes. When he came back, he sat down across from you. He remained silent, but his presence was still comforting.
The bell chimed and you expected him to get back up, but he didn’t. Instead, another figure sat down next to you and gently intertwined your fingers with theirs. You looked up and saw Nat. She gave you a comforting smile, and squeezed your hand encouragingly. You couldn’t help but cry even harder.
The bell rang again, and this time, Steve, Tony, and Sam walked in and joined you behind the counter. Steve sat on your other side and wrapped his arm around your shoulders. You welcomed his embrace but continued to keep your head down.
The bell rang a third time. A frantic Clint rushed in, followed by a grumbling Bruce.
“What am I supposed to do?” Bruce hissed as they approached the counter. “I’m not good at this stuff!”
Clint shoved his shoulder and put a finger to his lips. “Just shut up and be there for her you idiot!”
He and Bruce walked over Bucky’s legs to the opposite end of the space. The area behind the cash register was small to begin with, and it was quite cramped with all eight of you behind it. But everyone stayed and waited.
After you had finally cried everything out of your system, you slowly raised your head. Clint handed you a small pile of napkins to blow your nose, and they smelled faintly of pizza. Sam passed you the small trash can by his side, and you tossed the napkins inside.
You cleared your throat. “I’m gay,” you finally said. “My parents kicked me out because I’m gay. That’s why I moved in with you guys.”
With the exception of Bucky of Steve, everyone’s expressions went from shock, to anger, to sadness.
“I’m so sorry,” Sam replied, softly.
Nat squeezed your hand again, and this time, you squeezed back.
“I thought they’d be okay with it, you know?” you continued. “But they gave me a night to pack my stuff and leave.” You let out a shuddering breath. “I was supposed to go to California for college in a few days, but that’s obviously not going to happen. Not until I save money or figure something else out. I just wasn’t expecting to have to grow up so fast, I guess.” Shrugging your shoulders you concluded, “That’s it. That’s my story.”
Clint let out a low whistle. “That sucks, kid.”
“Clint!” Steve admonished. “Seriously?”
“What? It does!”
“Even I know that’s insensitive, man,” Bruce chimed in.
As everyone continued to berate Clint, you took a second to look around. You were all stuffed behind the cashier counter of a bookstore at 7 o’clock at night. You had only known these people for two weeks, and yet here they were. Steve had been right, this was a family, and you were now part of it. It might be a bit dysfunctional, but it was a hell of a better family than the one you left behind in Maryland.
You cleared your throat, causing them to pause. “Thank you,” you said gratefully.
“Anytime,” Tony replied. The others murmured their agreement.
“You’re safe with us,” Nat added. “We won’t judge you.”
“Oh, no, we’ll judge you,” Sam interjected. “For example, I judge you for that ridiculous music you listen to on the radio.” His eyes twinkled as he grinned. “I mean, country music? Seriously?” he asked incredulously. “But I’m not gonna judge you for being gay.”
Steve shook his head at Sam and smiled at you. Returning his smile, you stood up and pulled him with you. Everyone followed suit, enjoying their freedom from the confined space.
“Anyone else hungry?” Clint asked. “Fury won’t miss me for another twenty minutes.”
“Yes!” you all exclaimed in unison.
Just as you were about to figure out where to go for food, the bell chimed again. A shirtless Thor sprinted inside, his chest heaving and covered with a thin sheen of sweat. The group stared at him in disbelief, and he stared back.
“What did I miss?”
