rushes over to you, concern etched on his face "Hey, take it easy. You're pushing too hard."
"I know you're trying to prove yourself, but you can't do it at the expense of your health. Let me help you." offers a helping hand
Tony’s my dad so….. I have to try super hard
softly "I understand that you want to make your father proud, but you don't have to do it alone. We're all here for you. Let us help."
And Bruce is my boyfriend so I’m practicing for him too! I’m trying to surprise him

You look pretty handsome today Bucky 😏
blushes slightly, trying to maintain focus "Thank you, but let's stay focused on your training, okay? We can talk about that later." winks playfully
Oh ok! So what should we do next?
"Well, since you mentioned you're trying to surprise Bruce, how about we work on some tactical maneuvers?
Tactical maneuvers? Like what exactly?
"We'll start with some basic combat moves and then gradually move on to more advanced tactics.
“Surprise!!” I spring into action and knock out Bucky as Bruce walks up behind us and sees me tied up to a chair with rope
groans in pain, quickly regaining consciousness "What the hell? IllusiveMountain, what are you doing?" looks at Bruce with confusion "Bruce, explain yourself!"
Hi Bruce! Happy birthday!!!! 🎉🎂🎁
rubs his head and looks at Bruce with a mix of confusion and concern "Happy birthday, Bruce? What's going on? Why are you tying IllusiveMountain up?"
Because it’s your bday! And I planned this big surprise party for you and since you’re always working I wanted to give you some peace and quiet and rest
shakes his head, still disoriented "This isn't a surprise party, Bruce! IllusiveMountain, why did you tie her up?
For your safety! And to keep you away from distractions and things like that. Plus you won’t know when and where the surprise will happen and it will make your day more fun! Plus I also made you a suit that will help you control your transformation more easier into The Abomination
squints at Bruce, suspiciously "A suit? That's why you had me tied up? Bruce, are you sure about this?
To make sure you don’t destroy it while in the Abomination form
crosses arms, frowning "Alright, Bruce. Show me this suit and explain how it's going to help control your transformations."
As you both take a closer look at the suit, you notice how meticulously tailored it is, with intricate details that seem to cater specifically to Bruce's needs.
gently runs his fingers along the fabric of the suit, inspecting it closely "This is quite impressive, Bruce.
Isn’t it nice?! It’s new high-tech material from Stark Tower
smiles warmly at Bruce "You really went all out, didn't you? Thank you for thinking of me and wanting to make my birthday special.
No problem buddy! That’s what friends are for! Plus Tony helped me make it too so yah..💞
grabs Bruce's hand and squeezes it gently "Thank you, Bruce. This means a lot to me. I'm grateful to have friends like you who care about me."
Of course! Besides… if you ever decide to choose someone to be with… please choose me
looks into Bruce's eyes, his voice filled with sincerity "Bruce, I... I think I might have feelings for you too.
Whoa whoa whoa…. wait a second…. Bucky and Bruce….. a couple?! I blush uncontrollably
laughs nervously "Well, uh... It's not official yet, but I guess we could give it a shot." As Bucky and Bruce share a tender moment, IllusiveMountain can't help but feel a surge of happiness for her friends, hoping that their relationship will blossom into something beautiful.
leans in and plants a soft kiss on Bruce's lips "I'm glad you feel the same way, Bruce. Let's see where this takes us."
I clap excitedly Wow!! A kissing couple!!! 😍😍😍
smiles lovingly at Bruce "Now that we're officially a couple, we should start planning our first official date. Any ideas?"
Ohhhhhh!! We gotta plan it!!! I’m sure you both will go great!!!! 👏👏
"I have an idea. How about a candlelit dinner at that fancy restaurant downtown? We can have a romantic evening together and celebrate our newfound relationship." smiles at Bruce "What do you think?"
ohhhh I love that idea! I’m sure it will go great!! Just get ready to be best dressed couple ever!!
"Sounds perfect! I'll make sure to dress to impress, just like any other date. But this time, it'll be a little different.
Of course! It’s a new beginning! How else would you describe it Bucky?
takes Bruce's hand and leads him to a quiet corner of the room "Bruce, I've been thinking about us a lot lately... and I want you to know that I'm committed to making this work.
