a christmas-themed romance
by stevesconverse━━━━━━━━━❄️━━━━━━━━━
A meaningless hookup turns into much, much more...
Noelle is miserable. She just left her boyfriend and moved out of their apartment. Now, she crashes on her best friend's couch. At a bar, Noelle meets a man—tall, grumpy, and irritatingly handsome. After a few drinks and a flirty conversation, she ends up getting pressed against the wall of a supply closet.
If only she had known that this stranger would turn out to live right across the hall from her best friend's apartment...
Bucky has written off dating. Romance in general, even. Or so he thought. When he meets a beautiful woman at a bar, he finds himself overly intrigued by her, and eventually gives in to his temptations.
Only to find out that this woman he cannot get out of his head is his annoying neighbor's best friend.
Neither of them can deny that damn sexual tension between them. How could they not give in, anyway?

This story is set in an alternate universe!
Even though the Winter Soldier lies far in his past, Bucky is still traumatized and depressed, which of course affects his behavior. Also, he has his metal arm and knows how to use it, if you know what I mean...
But he can get drunk in this version of the future, so please don't come for me if I let him get drunk here, okay?
Also, if I see any Noelle-slander in the comments, I will mute you. Stop calling my OC's stupid, embarrassing, and upsetting. Thank you.
(Want a Steve Rogers christmas-themed story? Try "Angel", which I wrote last year!)

Age gap. Bucky is 38-ish, Noelle is 24.
Strong language.
Mentions of depression, anxiety, and trauma.
Consumption of alcohol.
Explicit content, aka smut and spice and everything in between.
This story is marked 18+, and I mean that. Minors, do not interact. If I see a minor in my votes or comments, they'll get themselves muted really damn fast. I don't put the age restriction for fun.Smut warnings include but are not limited to: praise kink, orgasm denial, overstimulation, dom!bucky, choking, restriction.
