When one is democratically elected to the position of President of one of the world’s most powerful democracies; there is a reasonable assumption that they will have some sort of control over their own life. That assumption, Tony is quickly realising, is unfounded and blatantly untrue. He has never had less control over his own life.

“I have a perfectly good security team now Pe - Virginia,” he says for what feels like the tenth time, pinching the bridge of his nose, “Agent Rhodes has managed to keep me alive since my days as a Senator and I have no reason to believe that he will start to slack now”

“All due respect Mr President,” Pepper replies smoothly, “but Agent Rhodes agrees with me. You need additional security”

Tony shoots Rhodey a baleful look, but Rhodey doesn’t even twitch. He sighs, running his hands through his hair, “And these guys are the best?”

He directs the question to Rhodey, because he’s heard Pepper’s argument so many times that he can probably recite it from memory.

“I served with one of them in Afghanistan sir,” Rhodey says, “and I would trust them both with my life”

“The question is Agent,” Tony curls his lip, “whether you trust them with my life. I’m still not sure how I feel about them not being Secret Service Agents”

Obadiah, who’s been quiet this whole time, pipes up, “I agree. The Secret Service exists to protect POTUS, why aren’t we just promoting some of them?”

“Because,” Pepper grits her teeth, “As I have explained before, Agent Rhodes and I have reason to believe that these threats are internal”

Tony can gear Obadiah gearing up for another fight, so he throws his hands up in surrender before he can start, “Okay - you win. I’ll take on the extra security”

Pepper’s lips stretch into a thin smile, “Wise choice Mr President. I’ll ask for them to be sent in immediately”

Tony flails a bit, “they’ve been outside my office this entire time?”

“Yes,” Pepper replies and before he has a chance to press her further, the doors swing open and two men step in.

“May I present,” Rhodey says with an undertone of amusement (properly because Tony is about two seconds away from drooling), “Sergeant James Barnes and Staff Sergeant Sam Wilson”

“Pleasure to meet you,” Tony says, trying to keep his voice level and not betray the dryness in his throat; but from the way Rhodey and Pepper are barely containing their laughter - he might have failed

"i never stood a chance" for samtony or samtonybucky 👀👀

dark thoughts cw and implied suicidal ideation cw (both are under the cut)

~~

“You’re a complete fucking idiot,” are the first words Tony hears as he slowly wakes up. Judging by the harsh smell of antiseptics and the beeping sounds, Tony knows he managed to land himself in the hospital once again. He manages enough energy to keep his eyes open and is greeted to the sight of an angry looking Bucky.

“Your ‘edside manner needs some wor’,” Tony slurs out.

“And you need to stop playing the self-sacrifice card,” Bucky bites back, anger seeping through his words. He leans back in the uncomfortable hospital chair and crosses his arms. “Why did you do it Tony?”

Tony ignores the man, not willing to let himself be interrogated when he can’t physically escape the conversation. Because if he did then that would mean having to deal with his.... feelings, and Tony most definitely would like to avoid those any cost. So, yeah, he’s going to keep quiet.

“Tony,” Bucky says in that scolding tone that Tony hates so much.

“Toucan Sam okay?” he asks instead, making it a point to not look at Bucky.

Bucky sighs. The anger leaving his veins as he realizes that trying to question Tony in this state is unfair. Though, he points a finger at the injured man and sternly says, “We’re penciling this conversation for another time. Don’t give me that look Tony. I’m not afraid to resort to getting Steve into this conversation too so he can subject you to his puppy dog eyes and get it through your thick skull that you need to stop recklessly putting yourself in danger.” 

Tony doesn’t have to bite back his retort because as soon as Bucky is done speaking, the man he asks about walks into his room. “There he is,” he greets.

Sam gives him a smile before crouching down slightly to give Bucky a peck on the lips, causing Tony to look away. Tony can’t tell if the new pain he’s starting to feel in his chest is from the injuries he received from their recent battle or if it’s heartbreak. Though, if it’s the latter, Tony knows he has no right to feel that way. Sam and Bucky are happily together. (Hell, Tony was the first one to find out about it after seeing the two of them slow dance together in the dead of the night in the common room, ending with the two of them kissing deeply.) He knows that his feelings for both men are something he should never act on. Despite the marks that connects his soul to both of them—a fact that he’s hidden from everyone—, Tony isn’t worthy of their love, at least that’s what his mind has led him to believe. The dark thoughts that haunt his mind.The self-loathing and depressing thoughts that taunt him daily, telling him how much he doesn’t deserve to be loved by anyone. The thoughts that tell him he doesn’t deserve to bear the mark of two amazing human beings. The thoughts that tell him how much he doesn’t deserve to be alive and that he should constantly throw himself into danger, even if there is no need for it.

Tony knows that one day, soon he thinks by how things are going now, that eventually those thoughts will swallow him whole. And Tony knows that the day Death comes to greet him the first thing that he will say is, I never stood a chance against those thoughts, did I? 

“Never stood a chance against what thoughts?” The question snaps Tony back to reality. He panics a bit when he realizes that he spoke aloud without meaning to. “I’m going to ask again, Tony, what thoughts?” Sam asks, worry painting his face. 

Tony gives them his press smile. “Oh, nothing. Everything is peachy keen here, boys.” Tony quickly changes the subject into asking what the full extent of his injury are, hoping they’ll take the bait. Though, judging by the glance Sam and Bucky give each other, Tony knows they’ll keep a close eye on him later.

adiiiii, if it's no trouble can i ask for headcanons of ur recent winterironfalcon au??

i love talking about my aus 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

Sam wears suits on the job, while Bucky refuses to wear anything more formal than a leather jacket.

Their job is split between either getting Tony into, or out of bed and for the first six months there isn’t much body-guarding to be done. Its mostly just saving Tony from himself.

Sam and Tony’s first kiss was 4 months into the job. Sam is in charge of waking Tony up (with a cup of coffee) because he has a meeting with the Secretary of State; and Tony absently leans up and presses a dry kiss on the corner of his mouth in thanks. They don’t talk about it for another month.

Bucky and Tony fall into bed together first, but its Sam who he falls in love with first. Bucky flirts like he breathes, and thats familiar for Tony. He isn’t used to Sam’s inherent goodness though.

Bucky and Tony’s first kiss is after a botched assassination attempt. He pushes Tony out of the way of a bullet that skims his neck and lands him in the hospital over night. The next day, Tony pulls him in for a kiss while he’s still bedridden.  

Despite dating their charge, Bucky and Sam spend an exorbitant amount of time denying their feelings for each other - until Tony finally sits them down and says he refuses to play second fiddle to them any longer.

The precarious otv relationship that they have actually leads to a lot of insecurities on Tony’s part - who convinces himself that he was just a convenient surrogate for his bodyguards’ feelings for each other.

it takes a lot of late nights spent,,,not sleeping to convince Tony otherwise.

nobody prepares Bucky for the fact that his President has a kid, and when he wakes up one day to see Peter eating cereal at the dinner table - he doesn’t react well.

(in his defence, Iraq was filled with kids who were strapped with bombs. its how he lost his arm)

Even though Sam is the one who served directly under Rhodey; its actually Bucky who’s terrified to tell him that they’ve blurred the lines between professional and personal.

(but they were both wrong they should’ve been scared of Pepper)

Despite their less than ideal first encounter, Bucky and Peter get on so well that once Peter moves to the White House permanently - Tony asks him to move onto Peter’s detail permanently.

Agent Rumlow replaces Bucky on Tony’s detail - and thats when everything gets fucked up.
