In Captain America Winter Soldier Nat asks Steve why he doesn't date, and he says it's hard to find someone with shared life experience.
And then the one person on the planet who's gone through almost exactly what Steve has comes bursting back into his life guns blazing.
Like Bucky and Steve have to be fated after that impeccable timing.

Imagine Firefighter!Bucky taking you in after a fire at your apartment building
・゚✫* 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑖 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡 。✭・゚
You and Bucky have been friends ever since your friend dragged you to her boyfriend's work Christmas party, claiming she’d be so bored without you there.
Bullshit, 'cause everyone was so sweet and easy to talk to. Bored your ass - and speaking of asses - all the guys had pretty nice ones.
So, it just happened that you became part of their little friend group of your friend, her boyfriend, Bucky, and some other firefighters from the station.
But Bucky was definitely the one you were closest to.
Any time you’d say your goodbyes he’d say some good-natured firefighter wisdom like: “remember to stop, drop, and roll!” With that cheery smile of his.
Yes, he’s a flirt.
Of course, you never thought they’d come in handy one day.
But, of course, you’d ended up in many situations, in which they actually saved lives. And, of course, for some miraculous reason, Bucky was ALWAYS the firefighter on call.
Somebody threw a lit cigarette into a trash can - you were there when it nearly exploded
Somebody chose to extinguish a burning fryer with water at McDonald’s - your fries did not make it
A random cat decided to get stuck in a tree - you were the virtuous pedestrian to call 911
And Bucky would always tease you about how bad luck followed where you went, or how he’d always have a job as long as you were alive
But you knew he’d never mean it with any harm - he just liked to tease you
So when he got a call about a fire at your address, he made sure to be the first one in the fire truck
And when he arrived he’d search the crowd for you and make sure you were okay
And he would even push Steve on his way to your apartment to be the one to check if everything was fine
Of course, it wasn’t - because apparently that bad luck slur had some truth to it
None of your stuff got destroyed, but the captain said it was too dangerous for you to move back in until the floors were checked for any further damage (yes it was that stupid annoying kid from the apartment below yours)
And as soon as that information came through, Bucky was already next to you with a bag full of your clothes and his spare keys dangling before your eyes
You’d talk to him later about going through your underwear drawer, but for now you were just happy you had somewhere to sleep
Unfortunately, though, that night's sleep didn’t come to you easily
You kept jerking awake, dreaming of fires in your apartment and waking up startled and confused when you weren’t surrounded by familiar walls
So the third time you’d woken up and almost knocked a lamp over, Bucky was already in the doorway picking you up and carrying you off to his bed
You wanted to complain - you really did- but it was so warm and cozy, and you were so tired, it must have slipped your mind
You woke up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee the next morning and a dashing smiley (and shirtless) Bucky
As a thank you, you offered to make pancakes and Bucky was proud of himself for dragging you home with him
The following mornings were pretty much the same, with you waking up tangled in each other, preparing breakfast, and just living in purely innocent and domestic bliss
Which was why you didn’t mind when the fire department called and Bucky told you the move-in date back to your apartment would be postponed for a while longer
And actually, maybe Bucky just told you that because he liked the idea of your staying a little too much - just because of the pancakes, of course…
