50 Shades of Stan🔥

First date🌹🦾

"Buck, come on. are you going to wait till you get old to ask her out?" Steve was blaiming Bucky, he knew what that look meant, a mix of desire, hesitation, fear and self-doubt. Bucky was in love with you and Steve had been listening to all his paranoid for the last 6 months: since the last mission you had been his one and only obsession, but he couldn't make up his mind to take you out on a date. "And if she doesn't accept my metal arm? I am a half man..buddy..I am not fully sane. my past can scare her..and if I turn to the old evil me? I can hurt her.." it was every day the same lullaby "Stop it,pal!Those days are over!You can make any woman happy and loved, she will adore you. Don't be silly!I don't wanna hear those words again, ok? And please, do a favor to both of us: Try it!" Bucky sighed and stood up to have another cup of coffee, in the same moment you were coming and he freezed "Good morning,Barnes, did you have a good sleep?it looks like you saw a ghost!am I so creepy?" you laughed at his face, while he stared at you swallowing "or maybe the warewolf ate your tongue?" Bucky answered "Please ,go first.good morning Anastasia.And no...you look great.." you smiled and took your coffee then go sitting next to Nat.

"Why did I say such a silly thing?! She should have thought I looked like a school boy.." Bucky hid his eyes into his hand, talking to Steve "You like her and you should really wake up, pal, before anyone else steals her!" "Good morning ladies and gentlemen! Listen up, please. This year, for Thanksgiving, Pepper and I decided to celebrate with all of you at our house, you're all invited and welcome to bring a +1". Tony pronounced the last word with a higher voice, Bucky didn't notice it was addressed to him, murmurs of agreement follow from everyone, Steve and Sam turned to each other "Nat is my +1 of course. Sam, are you taking Barnes?" "Of course, even if it's hard to imagine him with long hair and on a dress. You'd better wax yourself! I don't like hairy legs, James!" Sam teased Bucky who promptly answered grumpy "Hey, you know you're not my kind of man, Wilson!"

"Who are you taking, Ana? Who do you expect an invitation from?" Nat asked you very excited after the announcement, "well, I don't know, I think I'll come alone.." "What about Barnes? Don't' tell me you haven't noticed his insistent gazes.." Nat turned her head to the table of Same, Bucky and Steve, catching Bucky's eyes on you "are you kidding? He hates me, Nat! He dodges me every time we meet and barely talks to me. I'm sure he doesn't like me at all" I answered rolling my eyes "This is the way Barnes is, but I know he doesn't hate you". "Hey doll! is my princess ready for his ball with me?" Steve wrapped Nat into his arms from behind, interrupting their conversation "hey baby, of course I am. Barnes, have you found a lady for Tony's party? I think Sam will survive for a night without his partner", Bucky was looking away and tried not to listen to her question "My bestie here is free, if you like.." Nat said naughtily, facing your stunned stare. "I think I won't come.." "Good for me! Ana, maybe will you be my +1?" Sam asked loudly. I blushed a little "my pleasure, Mr Wilson! Glad to accept your invitation! What time does my carriage come to pick me up?" everyone laughed while Sam gave me his arm, except Bucky "have a good time. See ya" and he left the room.

Bucky slammed the door of his room, why was he so stupid? He loved Anastasia, he was more than sure about it, but all the doubts stopped him to be the old confident James. In the 40s every girl was at his feet, added to the list of Charming Sgt Barnes and now? He was afraid of talking to his female colleagues; a moody mask was all the time on his face, as a protection from any involvement. To make things worse the woman he loved was going to attend Starks' party with his mate, how did he dare? Wait, Sam didn't owe anything to him; he was only smarter to take the chance. It was not his fault.

——————————————————————————
It was Thanksgiving day, that night everyone was leaving the Avenger's headquarter to attend the Stark's event "are you sure you don't wanna come, Buck? You'll have fun and relax, something different from everyday duties.." Steve was trying to convince his buddy to change is mind and come with them "don't worry, I'll be fine. I need to do some work out and improve some skills. The gym will be empty and all for me", Bucky answered sneering. "As you like, but think about it.. It's not too late to make her yours" Steve patted him on the shoulder and closed the door.

All the guests have arrived and the party was at his height, Steve and Nat were laughing with me and Sam listening to some fun fact on a mission, it involved Bucky and Sam "and suddenly my mate said « No guns? No kicks? Shall we fight throwing flowers or bubbles? » And I answered «peace and love, brother»". We were interrupted by Pepper's voice; she was in the middle of the hall holding Tony's hand "dear guests, thank you for coming and happy Thanksgiving. We hope you're enjoying the party and glad to celebrate together" and Tony added "please join me and my beautiful wife in this special dance". They got closer and the music followed them in a slow romantic melody, little by little all the couples reached the dance floor: Steve stood up and Nat followed him, I had a moment of awkwardness that Sam felt immediately and whispered gently "do you wanna dance with me, Ana?" , I answered "ok.." and I took his hand. While we were walking through the hall my eyes looked for a moment at the entrance, Bucky was over there, staring at me, standing still. I suddenly stucked while he walked towards me "may I have the honor to dance with you, Ana?" Same turned around "hey, you're talking to my lady. Shouldn't you ask me first? I invited her...She's with me!" his voice sounded a little sarcastic and Bucky made a step backwards "you're right, mate. But, I realized how much I care about her and that... if I keep on missing chances I would finally loose her or she will choose another man. Maybe better than me...Like the one I'm talking to just now". Sam kissed my hand and asked me gently "he is telling the truth. He loves you. But..." I looked at Bucky and smiled to Sam "I love him. But I thought he couldn't stand me" Bucky stopped me before I finished "What? Are you kidding? Absolutely not! I thought you wouldn't accept me..." Sam's eyes went from me and Bucky and back "I'd better join the others. I start feeling like a third wheel and you two need to talk. Alone. Thank you, Ana. It was a pleasure and, keep on being the honest and big hearted man we all know, Barnes; she will accept you without any doubt".

Bucky held me closer, moving slowly, coming cheek to cheek. I heard him taking a deep breath before speaking "I think my last dance was in the 40s. I hope not to step on your feet, Ana" and he tightened the grip on my back "Barnes, I'm not going anywhere. Relax." I said smiling, Bucky fixed his beautiful blue eyes on mine "I'm not good at talking about my feelings as I was in the past. How much do you know about me?" "As much as I need to like you, Barnes" I whispered to his ear. "I want to be sincere with you. My past is a burden for me, not a light one, I did some things I'm not proud of but..I was not myself. Or maybe not 100%. Do you know how they still call me?" I kissed his cheek softly "The Winter Soldier. But I fell in love with the man you are now, even knowing about your past" Bucky stopped the dance "wait.. What did you say?" and I repeated "I'm in love with you, James".Bucky winced hearing his first name from my lips "only my family called me this way" "oh, I never meant to hurt you..." Bucky closed my mouth with his in a kiss. I circled his neck with my hands, he was sweet, sucking both my lips a little, his tongue was shy in the beginning, and then he stopped. "maybe We need a more intimate place for more" he said smiling, then he continued "but not tonight. I love you and nothing will make me happier than keep in my arms a little more,to feel that you're real". I took Bucky's hand and he followed me leaving the dance floor, Steve, Nat and Sam were watching from the other side of the room "Thank God Barnes finally grew a pair!" Sam said "They are so cute and look how Barnes is lost on her as he has never been on anyone before" Nat added; "they both deserve to be happy and I think they both found their right match" finished Steve.

I stopped at a balcony and looked at Bucky "so shall we consider this our first date,Sergeant?" Bucky held me closer "I had something different in my mind for it. Something more special but..will you say yes if I ask you out again?" I caressed Bucky's face grabbing it in my hands "Take me anywhere you want,Barnes. Let me help you write a new and happy chapter of your life". Bucky didn't find the right words to answer, that was the most beautiful thing someone has ever told him. He kissed me again, with all the possible love no one had ever been worth over his last 106 years.
