Scene: You and Bucky get trapped in an elevator.
Bucky's P.O.V.
*****
Cute, no. Pretty, no. Gorgeous, no. Beautiful, no. Perfect, yes.
Of course she was all these things, but perfect was the only word that fit.
(Y/F/N) was perfect. The way she would brighten a room the instant she walked into it, or give you a smile like you were the most important person in the world; it was perfect.
Too bad the only reason she spent time with me was to watch me. She was assigned to help conform me into modern life. That, and, make sure I didn't get in trouble.
I remember an old friend saying a long time ago: "Bucky, if a gal ever makes you scared, kiss 'er like there's no t'morrow." And my, (Y/N) made me go weak in the knees. I never had spoken a word to her, yet I knew I would surely embarrass myself. Every time she caught me staring, I wanted to run for the exit.
I didn't know what to do. Back in the day, I would be flirting with girls left and right, leaving fluttering lashes and rushing heartbeats in my wake. Now, I couldn't even be within three feet of her without something expanding in my lungs and preventing me from breathing normally.
"Bucky? Hello?" She was waving her hand in front of my face. "Wai- what?" And I accidentally fell back in my chair. My left arm made a loud gong against the floor and I groaned. She moved over and playfully looked at me. Boy, her hair looked pretty. "Did I startle you?"
She smiled, obviously knowing she had. "Here," she offered as she held out her hand for me. My face stayed emotionless and I wanted to smack myself.
Why can't I smile? Or at least smirk? It's like the universe just doesn't want me to get anywhere.
"I promise I don't bite... Unless you want me to." She said it with the smirk I wish I had. I sat in silence for a moment.
If only she knew what she did to me...
She helped me up and looked at her clipboard. "We are scheduled to go to the designated park in half an hour. C'mon." Her "serious/mission" face came back and she led me to the elevator.
If I don't talk, I can't embarrass myself in front of her anymore.

•In Stark's lab•
Third Person P.O.V.
Steve and Tony had seen the whole thing, which meant they were both doubled-over in laughter. "P-play it again!" Tony told JARVIS. "Yes sir."
"I promise I don't bite... Unless you want me to." (Y/N)'s voice aired over the speakers as Steve and Tony sat in temporary silence to watch Bucky's deer-in-the-headlights expression. Then they burst into laughter again.
"I n-never thought h-he'd be the one a-afraid to talk to w-women!" Steve barely breathed while clutching his stomach. "He looks like he just crapped his pants!" Tony exclaimed. Steve huffed. "He probably did!"
Nat came in. "What are you two oompa-loompas doing?" She caught the next replay and chuckled as well. "So I see you're watching 'The Winter Soldier's Misadventures in Love' again. What is it he did last week?" "He accidentally chugged hot chocolate and spit it on her," Steve replied, a smile gracing his face at the memory.
"That girl sure likes him a lot, with all the patience she's got." Nat stated. "We can say it's mutual by how red he gets around 'er," Tony observed. "Woah, woah, woah!" Tony suddenly shouted, pointing at one of the surveillance screens. Both Steve and Nat turned to look.
(Y/N) and Bucky were awkwardly standing in the elevator, going from the top floor to the bottom. Steve smirked. "I have an idea."

•In the elevator•
Bucky stared ahead nervously as (Y/N) tapped her nails against the clipboard in an unknown rhythm. After a bit, Bucky realized it was "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen when she began humming.
This is a really tall building, he thought.
Suddenly, the elevator stops and the lights go out. Bucky's instincts kick in and he freezes, his arm raised. But soon, the darkness feels consuming, like it was, devouring him. He could see the machine, the mouthpiece being shoved in. It was collapsing. He was collapsing. Breaking. Falling. Darkness. It was closing in him. He was losing. Overwhelmed. Overpowered. It was over. It was over-
"Bucky!" (Y/N) was shaking him. "Bucky, breathe! Breathe!" But, he couldn't. The anxiety was filling his lungs. The walls were closing in on him-
She resorted to smacking his face, but it didn't even make him blink. She then sighed. "I didn't want it to be like this-" (Y/N) didn't finish before she leaned in and kissed him.
He immediately took in a deep breath through his nose, his eyes widening. Before he knew it, his flesh arm was gently brushing her jaw and hers was toying with his long locks.
Bucky had only one thought:
Perfect.

•Two Weeks Later in the lab•
"Steve!" Bucky shouted. Steve froze. That didn't sound good. The door to the lab busted open and a fuming Bucky stood behind it. "Woah! Watch it!" Tony reprimanded. "What?" Steve asked timidly.
"Both of you are toast." Their faces paled as they realized what he meant. They looked to each other. The elevator.
"Natasha told me how the both of you decided to play a little 'joke'. It was funny. Very. Funny." He popped his neck with his hands to emphasize the last two words. If looks could kill, Tony and Steve were six feet under.
"Bucky,"
His gaze immediately softened as he heard her voice. (Y/N) smiled at him, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind. "They helped us get together. Don't be so harsh." He smiled as he turned and kissed the crown of her head. "You're right." Bucky surrendered easily. Tony and Steve sighed in relief.
"But, they did record when you spit on me and sent it to Fury. So go at 'em." Bucky kissed her head again, with more passion this time. "Thanks, Doll. My pleasure."
Let's just say Tony and Steve's girlish screams could be heard throughout the tower for the rest of the day.
