Stucky? Stucky.

Coffee Shop

Okay so this will be part one of a three or four part series to make up for my absence. Bucky is a barista in Starbucks btw.

Steve stepped through the door and joined the long Starbucks que to get his coffee. It was a new experience for him as he usually got coffee from the small corner shop he worked at. But one of his friends, Natasha, had told him to get out more and start trying new things. His first little adventure was getting coffee from Starbucks on his day off before going to a music store to buy more vinyls.

He studied the menu boards as the line in front of him grew shorter. He reached the front and was taken aback at the sight of the very, very, handsome barista. "Uhh... A tall Cappuccino please" he smiled politely at the beautiful face before him who simply smiled back and asked for his name. "Steve." The barista nodded and took his change before turning to serve the next customer.

As he waited, Steve used the time to check out the man serving customers. His hair was the colour of chocolate - a beautiful shade of brown. His hair was long enough to flop slightly over his eyes but not enough to blind him and his eyes were a mixture of grey, blue and green. His black shirt clung to his arms showing off his impressive build and Steve couldn't help but notice the metal that was his left arm. His jawline looked like it could cut a bitch and his cheekbones were life goals for teenage girls. (Not really sure what I meant there :p) Steve could just see his name tag, it read James.

Bucky watched as the blond man took his coffee and sat in one of the booths alone. He wasn't sure what was happening to him, what this beautiful stranger had done to him. The moment his eyes connected with the baby blue ones he felt weak in the knees and as soon as contact was lost he felt slightly empty and lonelier. This man made him feel something, this man whom he would never see again.

~ the next day ~

Steve entered Starbucks on his break after having a good experience in the coffee shop the previous day. He made sure he went to the same one with a glimmer of hope he would see James again. His hopes were dampened when he was served by another barista but he got his drink anyway. He waited for the drink patiently whilst looking round the coffee shop at the walls and art. He hadn't had the chance to appreciate it the previous day due to the handsome brunette that plaqued his mind.

Bucky emerged from the back room with his eyes lit and laughter erupting from his body. "If only Wilson! If only." He walked over to his colleague shaking his head and started making the next drink on the list. A classic hot chocolate for Steve. He made the drink and called, "Classic Hot Chocolate for Steve." His eyes locked with the blond in front of him who stepped forward to claim the drink. The blue eyed man from the day before. His fingers grazed the other mans as he passed the drink to him as normally and calmly he could muster.

Steve slowly walked to a table and sat down. James was here and their fingers brushed slightly. To Steve, this was a big thing, he was slowly becoming infatuated with the man named James.
He deliberately picked a table in which he could covertly watch James make the drinks and do his job flawlessly. That's the way Steve saw it.

In Bucky's mind he made a right mess of himself. He spilt some drinks and lost his train of thought too many times because he felt the eyes. He felt those kind eyes watching him as he worked and it threw him off his game. He was no longer this charming barista but more a fumbling ball of nerves.

It must have been about half an hour until Steve left the coffee shop. He'd spent the whole time trying to secretly watch the brunet operate the coffee machine perfectly and serve drinks to people with a heart warming smile. He could easily tell he was becoming infatuated with the barista named James. Little did he know, the same thing was happening to James.

Every few days Steve would go to that specific Starbucks during his lunch break or when he had some time on his hands. Some days James would be there and others he wouldn't.

~ sometime in the next few days ~

"Bucky dude what's gotten into you? You've been so distracted lately?" His co worker Sam questioned him as they sat in the staff room with Scott on their break. "Yeah buddy what's bothering you?"
"I've just had a lot on my mind- I've been busy." He shuffled in his seat feeling slightly embarrassed from what had distracted him. "Busy with what? Finally got yourself a boyfriend eh?" The trio laughed, "I wish Sam, just a lot of shit I need to get done like sorting ma life out." Bucky knew that he needed to do something about his 'little crush' or get over it and needless to say he liked the first option the most.

Let me know what you guys think! Also if you have any ideas could you please send me them cause I'll take on most ideas since I have none. Emily x
