THEY HAD BEEN FORCED to join the party downstairs. It didn't matter how many times Leah had begged to get out of it; every single time she had brought up her idea of standing in the corner— invisible, both Sam and Bucky had straight up rejected her suggestion. Although Bucky wasn't a big fan of crowds or large amounts of people, he didn't want her to stand alone in the corner of the room.

«But what if-» Leah started to suggest but Bucky was quick to cut her off.

«No.»

«But-» Leah tried again, Sam cutting her off this time.

«Nope,» Sam shook his head.

Leah groaned as she glared at them both, the pair being unexpectedly annoying when they finally agreed on something. Her eyes moved to Zemo, wondering if he'd help her out. Much to her dismay, he only shook his head silently before pushing himself up from his seat.

«Come on sweets, you'll have fun,» Bucky chuckled as his vibranium fingers brushed around her small arm, gently tugging her with them down the stairs.

She whined as she looked up at Bucky, «Don't be a baby,» He pointed out as they reached the final step.

«I'm not!» Leah argued lightly as they lost Zemo and Sam in the crowd of people, «I'm just not a fan of people.»

Bucky rolled his eyes but finally stopped in the middle of the dance floor, «One dance and then we can both get out of here, deal?» He suggested, not really being a fan of large crowds either. He could already feel his chest tighten the slightest at the amount of people and the constant loud noise from the blaring speakers.

She slowly narrowed her eyes at him, «Are you asking me to dance with you?» The female chuckled, her makeup sparkling under the dim lights.

The former assassin narrowed his eyes, smugly copying her face expression, «What if I am?»

«Then you better show me your best moves,» She chuckled as she finally gave into his suggestion. She couldn't help but feel safe, knowing Bucky would have her back and vice versa.

His hold around her arm slowly loosened as he slipped his fingers down to her hand, his vibranium fingers slipping around hers briefly as he lightly moved their joint hands up, giving her the opportunity to make a small spin. Leah couldn't help but smile, her hand leaving his as she spun.

They weren't the best dancers and neither of them were taking the task of dancing seriously, but they both had a few moves. Bucky moved quite stiffly, not making big gestures as he was struggling to loosen up. Leah spotted Zemo from afar, cracking up into laughter as she watched him move his arm back and fourth with the rhythm of the music, his head following the movements.
