As requested, major fluff :)

4 am

You stood on the platform waiting for the subway. You'd just gotten off a 14-hour shift at the hospital. To say you were exhausted was an understatement. You could just fall asleep on the platform.

The subway eventually arrived at the station. You stepped on and looked for a seat. For being 4 am, the subway was packed. You spotted an empty seat next to a man staring out the window.

"Excuse me?" You asked.

The man looked over with wide eyes.

"Can I sit here?" You asked.

"Uh, yes, yes of course." He replied, moving his bag.

"Thank you." You replied, sighing as you sat down.

You leaned back in your seat and fell asleep.

-
A sudden jostle woke you up. You realized you were on the man's shoulder. His body was tense.

"Oh, god I'm so sorry." You said.

"Don't worry about it." He replied.

You looked up and saw the train was at your stop.

"Thanks for the shoulder, Sergeant Barnes." You said, smiling at him.

His face filled with shock. He quickly stood and followed you off the train.

"You know who I am?" He asked.

"Of course." You replied.

"What is this? Who do you work for?" He demanded.

"Woah there, sergeant. I'm a psychiatrist. I'm not setting you up or anything." You said.

Bucky looked at you in confusion.

"You knew who I was and you still sat next to me." He said.

You nodded.

"You're not scared of me?" He asked.

"I could never fear you." You replied.

You watched the corner of his mouth twitch as if he was going to smile before it disappeared.

"This may be an out-there thing to ask, but would you like to get coffee with me?" He asked.

You grinned.
