Bucky's POV:
"Do I look ok?" I ask Steve. He's fixing his own shirt, but looks over at me. He looks at my outfit and says sarcastically, "You look like you haven't been on a date in seventy years." I roll my eyes and say, "Ha ha. Very funny. What do you actually think of it though?" He stares me down for another second before saying, "I think Skyler's going to fall for someone tonight. Hopefully she'll fall- right into your arms." I roll my eyes a second time.

"I don't want her to "fall" I just- I want her to look at me like someone who could change her life like that." I snap my fingers and he walks over to me. "Bucky, just get out there and make your move. If you don't you will have spent all this time wondering about how you look when you should've been thinking about how you're going to actually "get the girl"."

Skyler's POV:
I come out of the bathroom and ruffle my dress a little. "What do you think?" I ask Nat excitedly.her jaw drops and a smile pricks her lips. "Oh. My. God. Sky!! That dress is absolutely perfect! Bucky is going to fall harder than he ever has!" My eyes go wide. "I hope not! I don't want him hurt!" She laughs. "Oh my god. Sweetheart, Sky, it's an expression. You're so innocent." I laugh. "Whatever. I hope something happens tonight. I feel like it's going to be the night." She squeals excitedly. "Wanda! Get over here and check out Sky's dress!!"

There's footsteps running from one room to the one we're in and Wanda takes in my look. "Skyler!! You look gorgeous! Like, holy shit girl!" I grin as the girls obsess over how good I look. We can hear music blaring from the other room. "I'm assuming the party's starting. Shall we go?" I ask them in a funny tone. "We most certainly shall." Nat answers, and we leave the room.

I walk over to the bar and sit down with my drink. As I take a sip someone sits next to me, and I hear a voice order a drink, although I couldn't hear what they ordered. I look over next to me at the person who sat down. "Bucky, hi! I love the new lights Tony got, the whole place looks gorgeous!" I say excitedly. He smiles and says, "Yeah, but you know what's even more gorgeous?" I look at him quizzically. "You. You look amazing, I love that dress!" I blush, and he looks into my eyes. "Well, I got it at this one store, but I'm sure you don't want to hear about that." I say nervously.

Bucky's POV:
"I would love to hear your shopping stories." I say with a laugh. Y/N's face lights up with excitement, "Well, Wanda, Nat and I went to Burlington's yesterday and..." She gushes as she starts her story, and I just look into her eyes. "... I don't even really go shopping that much but I didn't have any dresses for tonight..." She looks adorable as she rambles on, and a slow song begins to play. She finishes her story and I stand up from my chair, extending my hand out. "Care for a dance?" I ask. Her face freezes for a second. Oh god. I hope I didn't just screw something up. "U-um, well, I would love to, but I don't really know how to dance..." She says, trailing off. I take her hand, and she stands up. "That's alright, I'll teach you."

I bring her to the middle of the dance floor in between all the couples already dancing and I place my hand on her waist, my other hand still holding hers. "Is this ok?" She nods, and smiles as she slowly puts her other hand on my shoulder. I begin to lead her, stepping forward with my left as she steps back with her right. As I step back, she steps forward. "You're doing great, I'm going to spin you now. Ready?" She nods, and giggles. I let go of her waist and take my other hand that's holding hers and spin her out, then spinning her back in and wrapping my arm around her as I pull her body to me. We fix ourselves, ready to dance again when she walks a little closer to me than I would've recommended for dancing, but I doubt she knows that. My smile drops, (in a good way) and so does hers. We stare into each other's eyes and seem to get the same idea.

Skyler's POV:
He looks down at my lips, asking for permission, and I nod. He slowly moves his head towards towards mine and softly and sweetly presses his lips to mine. He lets go of my hand, keeping his other one on my waist. With his free hand, it slides up my face and gently cups my face, bringing it closer. When we finally separate, we open our eyes he looks me deep in the eyes and says, "Skyler, I've loved you since the day I met you. The moment I laid eyes on you, I knew that something was different about you." I smile. "I feel the same way." He laughs lightly and says, "I figured, given the fact you just kissed me back." We laugh for a second, and he says, "Sky? Will you be my girlfriend?" I smile, and say, "I would like that." He smiles back, and cups my cheeks with both hands while leaning in for another kiss. Behind us, all we can hear are Wanda, Nat and Steve, freaking out, as the song ends.
