Bucky Barnes Imagines

Mutual Friends

James Buchanan Barnes, Bucky for short. He was a friend of Steve's. Steve was your childhood friend. The day he introduced you two it was like your life had changed forever. You and Bucky had exchanged numbers and soon the two of you were nonstop texting and sometimes the occasional calling. WIth both of your busy schedules you hadn't really had the time to meet up with one another. Although, today was different. You both had some free time. You had picked up your phone and decided to call him up and see what he was up to

After a couple rings he picked up.

"Hey (Y/N)!" He says happily through the other side of the phone, making you smile.

"Hi Buck! What are you up to?" You ask as you were walking around your small apartment.

"Nothing currently, what's up?"

"I was actually wondering if you wanted to grab lunch or something?" You ask biting your nails out of nervous habits.

"You know what, I would love to! I can come by and pick you up in 10 if that works." He says and you could hear the smile in his voice.

"That works great. I'll see you then." You said. You then said your goodbyes and hung up the phone.

You grabbed your purse and put all your important things in there. Slipping on some tennis shoes and sitting yourself down on your couch as you waited for Bucky's arrival. Sooner than later there was a knock on your door as butterflies erupted in your stomach. Did you mention you had developed some small feelings for the tall, dark and handsome man standing on the other side of your door.

You got up off the couch, grabbed your belongings and opened the door to reveal a smiley Bucky on the other side of the door.

"Hey doll, are you ready for lunch?" He asks as you two shared a hug. You would have been lying if you said he didn't smell amazing.

"Ready." You say walking out of your apartment and locking the door behind you. Following Bucky out of the building and to his car on the street. Being the gentleman he is, after he had unlocked his car he opened the passenger side door for you to get in. You blushed, thanking him before getting in and car. He shut your door and ran around to the other side so he could get in and start the car.

"Do you have a place in mind that you would like to go to?" He asks, taking a small glance at you before turning his eyes back to the road.

"You can pick! I'm open to anything." You say as he nods.

"I know the perfect place then." He says driving in the direction of the place he wanted to go to.

Soon you had arrived at Duke's Diner. Bucky had turned the car off and quickly got out to open your door before you could. You laughed thanking him again. He smiled and held his hand out for you to take. You laced your fingers together as he led the two of you inside.

"Hi, table for two?" He said holding up two fingers to the host who nodded and led you both to an open booth. You took one side as Bucky took the other. The host had dropped off the menus and then departed.

"This place is so cute! How did you find it?" You ask looking through the menu.

"I came across this place one day with Steve and it has definitely become a favorite go to place." He said, making you smile.

The waiter came over to take your drink orders then left to go get them.

"I know you've been busy lately but how are things?" He asked genuinely wondering

"Things have been okay. My friends have been trying to set me up on some dates but I can never work up the courage to go on them." You say laughing a bit.

"What about you?"

"Oh you know the usual just the 9-5 job. Trying to make a living for myself." He says.

Soon the waiter came back with your drinks and you two were ready to order your meals. Once you ordered the waiter took your menus and went back to the kitchen. He came back out shortly to give you guys your meals. You two enjoyed your meal with small talk and the occasional laughter. Once you were done and it was time to pay you both reached for the check, his hand being placed on top of yours.

"Let me take it!" He insists

"Bucky, I can't let you do that. It was my idea to go to lunch so let me get it." You say taking your hand away to pull your credit card out. But while you were doing that Bucky already had his card on hand and quickly gave it to the waiter.

"My treat." He says smiling at you.

"Well thank you but next time it's on me." You say as he agrees. After he paid you two walked back to his car and started back to your apartment.

"Do you wanna come in and watch a movie or something?" You ask once you arrived at your place not really wanting the day to end.

"Sure." He says as the two of you walked up to your home and unlocked the door so you could get in.

You told Bucky to find a movie to watch while you went to put your things down in your room. You came back out with some blankets and started some popcorn. Once the popcorn was done you found your spot next to him as he pulled the blanket over the both of you. The movie started playing and you noticed Bucky starting to yawn and stretch only for him to put his arm around your shoulders.

Smooth, you thought to yourself. You scooted a bit closer to him resting against him. During the movie Bucky really couldn't keep his eyes on the movie but he could sure keep them on you. He thought you looked so cute and peaceful. He was so thankful that he was finally free to be able to be with you today. Without thinking he leaned down to kiss the top of your head making your cheeks heat up and smile softly to yourself.

The movie soon finished and neither one of you wanted to move. So you didn't, and you stayed there for a couple of minutes.

"I really enjoyed today (Y/N)." He says as you had moved from your position to look at him.

"Me too Buck." You said sending him a smile. He loved your smile. You noticed his eyes had flickered down to your lips and back up to your eyes.

"You know, I've been wanting to do this for a while. Can I kiss you?" He asks, putting a hand on your face as you nodded slowly before your noses touched and your lips brushed together. His lips were soft and gentle. Everything you thought they would be. He kissed you once more before putting your foreheads together and catching your breath.

"Let's do that more often yeah?" You say making him laugh.

"Definitely."
