Bucky Barnes was never an avid reader, sure he enjoyed an occasional book here and there like the Hobbit per say but Bucky's never had much time to indulge in reading until he got his life back together and he met you. . .

It was a chilly Autumn afternoon when Bucky Barnes stumbled into your quaint book shop. He was looking for a particular novel, and so the sergeant stopped by on his way home.

In the midst of trying to locate said book Bucky decided to ask for help and ended up finding you perched on a ladder, grabbing a sealed box of novels from a high shelf.

The first thing he noticed was your hair and how pretty it looked. ʻʻExcuse me ma'am?ʼʼ

His voice startled you making you lose your balance as Bucky's quick reflexes immediately steadied you. His hands on your hips. Yours on his shoulders steadying yourself. Your hair falling over like a curtain and that's when you noticed Bucky Barnes and his beautiful eyes.

You take him in and the first thought going through your mind is that he is extremely good looking. The second thought being, he held a lot of pain in those eyes and it made you want to comfort the man.

Bucky cocked a slow smile resulting in you smiling back. He thought you had the most mesmerising eyes and it pulled him in,making him feel lighter.

You loved his smile and how his eyes looked happier so you decided it was your favorite thing about him.

Bucky helped you descend the ladder, when your feet touched the ground you looked up at him again and extended your hand. ʻʻHi,thanks for saving me. I'm Y/n by the way.ʼʼ You smiled warmly as Bucky's hand met your's giving it a shake ʻʻAh hi, glad I could help. The name's Bucky.ʼʼ

You tucked a piece of hair behind your ear ʻʻDo you need any help?.ʼʼ

Bucky nodded ʻʻUm yeah do you have the hobbit?. A sorta friend...? mentioned something about wizards earlier and I remember reading The Hobbit and felt like reading it again.ʼʼ

ʻʻThat's a good book which I happen to have if you'll follow me.ʼʼ You led the way with Bucky following close behind. You two made small talk and you said something funny which made him laugh and his laugh made you grin. You handed him the literature and he payed for it before waving goodbye and leaving.

Book in hand,Bucky turned back to see you but you were already out of sight. He felt something stir in his heart and the solider wanted to head back in and ask you out tho decided to give it some time as he left with a mental note to come back and see you again the next day.

The next day Bucky brought you hot chocolate and you talked about The Hobbit and your favorite foods, movies,colours and hobbies. You swapped numbers and he promised to come by again the next day and as he promised you Bucky wished to ask you out but that nervousness returned making him decide to try again tomorrow.

At day 3 Bucky stopped by with a cup of coffee and you two sipped it as you'll chatted about everything and anything. He asked for book recommendations coz he liked listening to you talk about something you were so passionate about.

Bucky loved how it lit up your face. You talked about his passions and Bucky also explained to you what was currently happening and how he and Sam were trying to stop the flag smashers. You were worried about him but he assured you it was being handled. The solider walked you home to make sure you were safe and you hugged him goodnight,that same warmth spreaded through Bucky as he hugged you back.

He loved your sweet lavender scent,it was calming and cheerful. You loved his warmth it made you feel safe and content. So when he pulled away you wanted to bring him back into your arms once more but instead you folded them and watched Bucky go,his phone pressed to his ear. He wanted to ask you out back there but an emergency came up and he had to meet with Sam.

On day 4 Bucky entered with lattes and chocolate brownies. He recalled you mentioning how much you loved chocolate. You felt touched to have him,someone that payed attention and cared about you. You had grown close to Bucky in these few days and it felt special to you and him.

You walked around the store rearranging books as you talked about each other's families. You asked Bucky about Steve Rogers and he fondly shared some memories with you. In the middle of a story about how Steve was being a punk and running into danger.

Bucky got quiet and you knew he missed his friend so you placed a hand on his and held onto his finger ʻʻI'm sure Steve is still very much proud of you and how you're trying to make the most of your life right now. I know I am.ʼʼ You state and Bucky's heart swells as he gives you an emotional smile, whispering a thank you.

You squeeze his hand once more before standing up to throw away your cups tho Bucky holds onto you making you sit back down.

The Sergeant wanted to tell you how he felt. Tell you that he liked you and your warmth and your personality and your eyes and how it pulled him in and your scent and how it calmed him and made him feel like the world could be brighter.

He liked everything about you and Bucky felt like you did too. His nervousness was replaced with adoration and need to express these feelings. He wanted you to know and so he decided today was the day.

Bucky hesitantly locked his fingers within yours and when you tightened your hold his mouth stretched into a smile mirroring your own. Now he was sure you felt the same way.

ʻʻY/n.ʼʼ He looked away from your joined hands and into your eyes. ʻʻWould you like to go out... on a proper date with me?.ʼʼ

You smiled brightly ʻʻI would love to.ʼʼ

You leant closer and placed a kiss on his cheek which made Bucky blush lightly and you giggle.

ʻʻI'll see you tonight?.ʼʼ He asked and you nodded ʻʻDefinitely, can't wait.ʼʼ
