Okay. CW-AU where CW never happened or post Reunion where Bucky is part of the newly reunified Avengers. Bucky was always stressed as hell when people in power, like the UN secretary or whoever, would say cutting things at the team. He would do incredibly awkward things like tell them not to clench up so much, or to remember to breathe and say they understood what they did was wrong even if they didn't.
It was good advice. The weird thing he has for giving them lube and sextoys was awkward but if the man thought they needed to destress, no biggie.
Then Peter joins the team. Peter who is skinny and tiny and bright with laughter and so damn young.
Bucky keeps asking if they are sure he is old enough to be on the team. Peter almost resents it, and Bucky gets more and more upset.
Something happens and Peter does something that goes WRONG.
Bucky immediately goes and tries to take the blame, take the fall, starts trying to shove Peter out of the way and Peter is scared of being thrown off the team but he has to acknowledge he made a mistake.
Bucky winds up hissing or yelling or otherwise saying something about how Peter hasn't even been with a girl yet, he will be ruined by his first punishment, or something like that.
Cue horror as all the Avengers start to reframe all the earlier advice and care he gave them when they got in trouble.
Extra bonus for Bucky trying to scare Peter into backing down and letting him just take the punishment instead or quit the team by being graphic about just how bad reprimands (in HYDRA) can be, with Peter's mike picking it all up.
Entirely up to filler how much fallout and team horror we get afterwards.
