Next To Me // A Stucky Au

Chapter Seven

Two days later, on Thursday, Nat went to pick Peter, who hadn't gotten any detentions that day, up from May's. As soon as she walked into their apartment in Queens, she was dragged straight back out the door by an overly exited Peter. She barely even had time to say hi to May.

They got into the car and started driving when Nat said, "So, Peter, our band is going to have a concert in two weeks. We're dropping the tickets today. Do you wanna help?"

Peter's mouth dropped open in shock. "OH MY GOD! Of course I wanna help!" He yelled and Nat laughed at him. "This - this is, like, the best day ever! Who else is gonna be there?"

"The rest of my band, who you are going to meet in a minute, and Peggy, out manager, she answered, "oh and Steve, who's Bucky's boyfriend, but they aren't officially dating yet so don't tell them I said that." She smirked.

For the rest of the journey Nat was bombarded with questions and by the time they reached the studio Peter was practically jumping out of his seat in exitement. They walked in to find Bucky playing something on his keyboard that he brought in every now and then. He stopped playing the minute he saw Nat and Peter and went to introduce himself.

"Hello, I'm Bucky Barnes," Bucky said to Peter as he shook his hand.

"I'm Peter " Peter said shyly, "it's nice meeting you, Mr Barnes!"

"Please, just call me Bucky," he said.

After the rest of the team introduced themselves, and Nat lead Peter over to her drum kit and started to teach Peter. For his first lesson, he was extremely good, better, maybe then she was when she first started learning.

They were packing away when Steve came through the door. "Sorry I'm late!" He said "There was this big meeting at work that I forgot about, and it went on way to long."

"So," Peggy said, when everyone was sat down. "You guys ready to release these things?"

"Hell yeah!" Sam yelled as they all crowded round Peggy's laptop.

They started counting down. "Five, four, three, two, one, zero!" They all yelled together, and cheered extremely loudly when Peggy clicked the release button. The next two weeks were going to go by so slowly.

The next day was Friday, and Bucky was outside Steve's new work, waiting to pick him up, seeing as Steve's car had broken down. He finally spotted Steve coming out of the building and walked quickly over to him.

"For fucks sake Steve, why don't you have a coat?" Bucky said to a shivering Steve. "Here take this," Bucky handed Steve his jacket, which Steve took gratefully. They walked quickly towards the car, which Bucky had had to park half a block away because all the spaces near Steve's work were full. He was relieved when they finally got in the car, and let the warmth wash over him.

"Guess what, Buck," Steve said, who had stopped shivering as much, "someone at work today was saying about your concert! They were sayin' they were goin'!" Bucky smiled, "I said I was goin' to, but I didn't say I knew you. That would kinda ruin the fun a bit."

Bucky smiled and they continued driving to Steve's apartment. When they got there Bucky promptly flopped down on the sofa and Steve squeezed in next to him. To try and distract himself from the fact that his brain was telling him to put his arm around Steve, he got out his phone to see how many concert tickets had been sold. It had only been 24 hours, roughly, so he didn't think that many would have been sold.

Bucky gasped out loud. "What is it Bucky?" Asked Steve, glancing over from the tv.

"All the tickets have sold out," Bucky said in shock and Steve leaned over to see.

"I'm actually not surprised, Buck," said Steve in a quiet voice, "your more famous then you think, of course people want to come to your concert."

Bucky gave him a weird look, almost like he didn't believe him, except the evidence was right there infrount of him. After a while, he shrugged, and decided just to watch the tv with Steve.

Bucky wasn't entirely sure what the tv show was about, but he felt Steve snuggle closer to him at a particularly tense part. His heart skipped a beat. He doesn't know he's doing it, said the mean part of his brain, he doesn't really like you enough to do that willingly. Shut up he told it, and, for some odd reason that Bucky still didn't know, he decided to put his arm around Steve, bringing him closer. He just decided to live in the moment.
