Burn Me Slowly With Your Love [40's STUCKY] ~Under Editing~

Chapter 9

Bucky arrived at Steve's door at four. He was dressed casually with a touch of elegenace, hair slicked back.

"What's with the outfit?" Steve questioned in confusion.

"Our date." Steve's heart fluttered. "With the girls." Nope, the flutter died. "It starts in half an hour, why aren't you dressed?!"

"I forgot." Steve shrugged. "Give me ten minutes." Steve left the door open for Bucky to come inside as he retreated to his room. A few minutes later, Bucky knocked. "Yeah?"

"Ready?"

"This good enough?" Steve opened the door a showed his brown trousers, white tee and black jacket.

"It'll do, come on." Bucky threw an arm over his shoulders and pulled Steve along and out of the apartment.

⌛️⌛️⌛️

"This really isn't my scene." Steve sighed as he looked around at the polished wooden floor and elegant white walls with a golden roof.

"Well, this chicks loaded, so thats why we got in. Just have fun, but not too much fun." Bucky gave him a charming smile as he spotted the women. He called them over with a wink to one of them.

"What did you say about me to my date?"

"That you're sweet and can dance, so don't prove me wrong." Bucky patted his shoulder, giving it a small squeeze.

"Hiya fellas." Oh, Australia's. Steve thought her accent was kinda cute actually.

"Hey doll, this is my man Steve. I hope he's to your friends taste." Bucky gave said friend a wink and she giggled, turning to Steve.

"I'm Zoela." She twirled a lock of hair with her finger.

"Steve, you -uh- you look amazing tonight." Steve was internally panicking. You was great at small talk with girls, but that was when he knew there was no romantic intentions. He didn't know a thing about this girl! So he tried to be confident like Bucky.

"You look pretty handsome tonight too." Zoela blushed lightly. "Do you want to dance? I'm not the best dancer, but Jasmine told me you're pretty good!" That must be Bucky's date.

"Uh, yeah. Yeah, that sounds great. I wouldn't say I'm amazing, but I'll try not to step on your feet." He laughed nervously as she took his hand and walked him over to the group of dancers. Bucky watched them go, biting back his jealousy. He shouldn't in the first place. Steve liked him after all. Bucky felt a smirk crawl up his face at that thought, turning to his date.

"Shall we, doll?" He offered his arm to her.

"It would be my pleasure." She giggled, taking his arm as he led her away to dance.

⌛️⌛️⌛️

"Ow."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"It's okay Steve, I've stepped on your feet multiple times now anyway." She laughed in her embarrassment.

"I'm not the best lead. I honestly only had one lesson, which was cut short." He blushed at the memory.

"How come?"

"Uh, I head butted my teacher." 'With my lips.'  Zoela giggled, hand over her mouth.

"That's so silly." Steve couldn't help but smile. Zoela was definitely a lovely girl, if not a bit giddy. He could see himself being friends with her.

"Yeah, I guess it is." He looked down at their feet to make sure he wouldn't step on them. The song ended for an announcement.

"We've had a request for a slow song, so let's get all the lovebirds together and enjoy!" The singer said happily. Steve found his eyes drifting to Bucky for a moment, who now had Jasmine chest to chest as the song began. He turned his eyes away when he felt Zoela press closer, arms around his neck. He moved his arms around his waist hesitantly, trying to remember what Bucky had told him.
