lie to me

“Work?” Bucky asked, fondly exasperated. “I swear, you’re married more to your job than to me, doll.”“I know, I know,” Tony said. He felt terrible about lying to his husband, but he couldn’t just admit to being Iron Man. He had enemies, people that would target his family if he did. The thought of Bucky getting hurt because of him was something that kept him up at night. “I’m sorry, babe, really.”---Bucky didn’t mean to rush his husband out the door. But Tony’s work thing had come at the perfect time: Steve had messaged him about a situation brewing downtown. The Winter Soldier was needed, and Tony didn’t exactly know that Bucky was the Winter Soldier. To him, Bucky was a veteran who worked at the VA with Steve and Sam. And he did, he just had a side job that involved a lot of kevlar and a large gun.He couldn’t tell Tony. If Tony got hurt because of someone targeting the Winter Soldier, Bucky would never forgive himself. It was safer to keep Tony in the dark. It didn’t mean he liked it, though.
