bucky had asked you out on a date a month ago and things were going well so far. the only problem was that you had yet to kiss him. i mean, you wanted to and he definitely tried, but every time he got too close you made up an excuse.
you liked bucky, like a lot, but you almost felt intimidated by him. not his personality or anything, but his experience. there were rumors that he'd kissed almost every girl in your class. you on the other hand...
you had virgin lips, to put it simply. and it wasn't like you weren't ever going to kiss someone, but when you did you wanted it to be special.
you tried to plan out how it should go in your head. something romantic. the two of you would lock eyes, lean in, and fireworks. that seemed easy enough.
but you got in your head about it and ended up smacking your forehead against his. he cursed and backed away.
"i'm so sorry! this is so embarrassing."
you buried your face in your hands, because maybe if you couldn't see him then he couldn't see you either.
bucky just shrugged, "it's fine, but..."
you tilted your head questioningly as he took a moment to gather his words.
"i just sometimes get the feeling that you don't wanna kiss me," he said quietly. it was the first time you'd ever seen him that... small. bucky was usually charming and took command of every room he walked into, but right now he just looked and felt powerless.
you stood there stunned, only unintentionally feeding into bucky's insecurities. but you didn't know what you could say. what girl didn't want to kiss james buchanan barnes?
"bucky, of course i want to kiss you." you admitted. he glanced up at you hopefully.
"and i know i act dumb and do things like accidentally headbutt you, but it's because i really like you and i've never kissed anyone before," your voice trailed off a bit at the end, but bucky heard every word.
he gave you a reassuring smile and put a hand on your waist, "all you had to do was say." and suddenly his confident charm reappeared, "i can teach you."
you gazed into his icy blue eyes as he gently placed his other hand under your chin. the way he was looking at you almost made your knees buckle.
"close your eyes," he whispered. you closed them slowly as your heart continued to race.
you were nervous with anticipation but when you felt his lips against yours, your mind went empty. no thoughts. just bucky's hand on your waist. and bucky's lips flush against yours. and bucky's beating heart beneath the palm of your hand.
it all seemed so simple after that. you just let your body take control and bucky would gently guide you if he needed. at some point, the bell for classes rang but neither of you moved.
when you finally pulled away, you could hardly breathe. you looked up at bucky to find him already admiring you. you quickly turned away and blushed making bucky laugh and throw his arm around you. "c'mon, doll. let's get you to class. can't have people thinking i'm ruining your squeaky clean reputation."
