"Any New Years Resolutions, L/N?" Bucky asks startling you as you were gazing outside into the starry night. You were at Starks New Years Party that he hosted every year with a ton of people in suits and fancy dresses.

You sigh, "A few, " you tell your very close friend and he smiles, "Well don't leave me hanging, " he teases and you smile going through the list of goals you had for 2020. There were plenty of things: adventure, health, and fitness, relationships, work. 

"I really wanna learn how to speak Russian. I always hear you and Nat speaking in Russian and I always feel left out, " you tease and Bucky smiles with a nod, "I can teach you, "

"I want to be able to do a pull-up, also rock climbing," you say with a small giggle, "You can't do a pull-up?" he asks surprised, "But you're like strong as hell, " You hit his shoulder playfully. The rest of the team has always teased you about dating Bucky. It wasn't like that. He was your best friend, you couldn't ruin that. Even if you wanted him, it just couldn't happen. It was too dangerous.

"Sorry that not all of us are Super Soldiers, " you joke and he smiles at like light punch against his right arm. "Also want to get more into space, " you say and Bucky furrows his brows, "Like learn about stars and the cosmos and all that. Outer space, " you say and you notice the slight gleam in his blue eyes at the mention of the topic.

"Is that a glimmer in your eye I see?" you say, trying to get a better look at his orbs. Bucky chuckles and grabs the back of his neck. "I too love to learn about space. Believe it or not, I was a little nerd back in the day, " he says and you gasp dramatically. "The big, bad, scary Bucky Barnes? A nerd?" you say like a stereotypical person in distress: High-pitched and exaggerated. "Very true, ask Steve. I would always talk about how one day we were gonna land on the moon. And now look, we're trying to get to Mars, " he says with a wide grin.

You smiled at the small passion he had for space and the stars. It was difficult to catch Barnes with a smile on his face. He was a closed-off person with many walls. And that was your main New Years Resolution. You were gonna break down every single one of them.

You both sigh and you check your wristwatch. "A few minutes til the new decade, " you say with a smile, "You ready?" 

Bucky smiles, "I've been alive for over a century, I think I can handle it, " he says with a laugh and you smile, white teeth peeking past your lips. 

You here everyone inside shout: 10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1...HAPPY NEW YEAR!

"Happy New Year, Barnes, " you say, "Happy New Year, L/N, " he says back and you clink your glasses of alcohol you two had in hand. You look at each other, you gaze at his lips but quickly shoot back up to his eyes. They're pink and plump, kissable...dreamy, damn he's got a pair of lips. 

SNAP OUT OF IT!

You reach up and kiss his cheek, "Get some sleep, " you say and walk away.

You should've gone in for the kiss.

~~~~~~

You wake up the next morning and look over to your alarm clock. Your vision was blurry and fuzzed, you rub the drowsiness out of your eyes and smile at the date.

January 1, 2020

"Happy New Decade, " you mutter to yourself as you slowly get up form the warm mattress with messy sheets. You yawn and stretch your arms above your hand as you walk into your bathroom, you decided to stay over at Headquarters last night and not drive home past midnight.
