steve rogers imagines

countdown

god was steve falling hard for you. every since you joined the team in the beginning of october, he's been crushing. hard. your beauty caught his attention immediately and it was downhill from there.

it was obvious too. bucky  could clearly see his face turning red when you walked into the room, or how he stuttered when talking to you. it was painful to watch, so he  hatched a plan to help out his friend.

news year eve was quickly approaching and it couldn't of been a more perfect time.  bucky decided to push steve to kiss y/n exactly at midnight. normally there would be a huge party planned by none other than tony, but he just wanted it to be warm and sentimental with his avengers family. it couldn't be more perfect.

____________________________

when the eve finally arrived, bucky quickly pulled steve into his room.

"dude. just tell her how you feel!"

steve was dumbfounded, "w-what? who's she? what are you talking about?" he acted dumb, 

"y/n! just tell her how you feel! it's clear you're in love with her! just tell her!" 

"i don't like y/n.."

"liar! stop with the act! its clear how much you love her! just tell her!"

"goddammit fine! god you're so annoying, this is why i never tell you anything buck," steve sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose

"y'know what you should toootally do tonight?"

"what." steve frowned 

"kiss her at midnight!"

"no! not happening! i dont even know if she likes me back," he sighed once again 

to be honest, you liked steve too, and found it absolutely adorable how he melted around you.

"just try! it can't hurt! don't be the guy who waits too long,"

"yeah yeah whatever buck.." steve left the room, trying to grasp the conversation that just happened. should he kiss her or not? what if he gets rejected and lives with embarrassment for the rest of his life? what does he do?!

____________________________

due to there not being a party, you had decided on wearing a cozy sweater and some jeans. classy but comfy. it wasn't anything special but when steve walked into the living room his heart stopped.

"holy shit she's gorgeous.."

steves face turned a beet red, and he quickly snatched a seat on the other side of the room.

did you notice his lil blushing incident? of course! the man looked liked a tomato for crying out loud!

____________________________

it was drawing near the end of the night, when you decided to take a step outside to the balcony. the atmosphere was a little to chaotic and boy was it hot inside. the cool air of the city immediately comforted you, causing a small smile to appear on your face.

bucky saw that there were only five minutes left until the new year, and he quickly ushered steve to go and talk to you on the balcony. he nervously walked outside, tensing up at your presence.

"hey steve," you chirped, looking over the skyline of new york.

"hey y/n.. look.. theres something i've been wanting to say.."

"yeah? whats up?"

"10!" the countdown started

"well i just,"

"9!"

you looked at him all confused,

"you're and amazing lady and,"

"8!"

"well what i'm trying to say,"

"7! 6! 5!"

"steve are you okay?"

"4! 3!"

"y/n i really like like you.."

"2! 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

you had enough of his mumbling and stuttering, so you wasted no time in grabbing him by his shirt collar and kissing him. it took steve a second to kiss you back, being so shocked and all.

the loud cheers of the city, and the party inside, drowned out while the two of you kissed. it was beyond blissful. 

 a couple minutes passed and you too broke apart, lips incredibly swollen.

"i like you too steve, i don't know why you never told me," you smirked, leaving him wide eyed as you walked back inside.

great way to start off a new year am i right?
