it had been a few weeks since the whole “kissing incident” had happened. steve and bucky have been getting around all right, they haven’t brought up what happened, even though it would have been right if they did.

-

bucky was standing outside of steve’s house just staring up at it, not making any attempt at
going up and knocking on the door.

steve opens his bedroom window, he sticks his head out and stares down at bucky “buck? what the hell are you doing, why are you just standing there”

bucky jumps at the sound of steve’s voice he looks up at him “i don’t know, deciding if i should actually attempt to make a move at coming in or not i guess”
steve sighs and shakes his head before speaking again “just come on up bucky, you know you can”

“kay” bucky makes his way up the steps and into the house, and up to steve’s room. as soon he gets to the door of his room he walks in greeting steve

“hi” he says

“hey bucky, how's it been?”

“it’s going i guess, how bout you”

“about the same” steve replies honestly

they stand there in silence looking at the floor before bucky speaks up “sorry then, i mean sorry you feel that way because i’ve been feeling like complete and utter shit, so sorry you are too”

“no, no bucky i’ve been fine” steve reassures him “i thought when you said ‘it's been going’ you were doing okay too, i’m sorry i read that wrong, and i’m sorry you’ve been feeling shitty”

bucky shrugs “eh you’re fine it’s not like it’s your fault i feel this way, it’s just mine”

“what’s been going on buck, you know you can talk to me right?” 

“yeah i know”

“then talk to me buck” steve says taking one of bucky's hands into his

bucky flinches and removes his hand from steve’s before speaking “it’s nothing steve really i’m fine, it’s not even that important”

“of course it is, and i can tell  something is bugging you”

“It’s fine steve, now leave it and don’t worry”

steve looks at him with a eyebrow raised but shakes his head, “okay” he pauses before speaking again “you want to go somewhere or something”

“you asking me on a date?” bucky asks smirking a little

steve shrugs “i guess i am, so do you?”

“yeah we can go somewhere.. or something” bucky smiles
“great, now go get your ass in the care and we can go”

“yes sir, steven sir”

they make their way down the stairs and out of the house and into steve’s car and they drive off to somewhere or something
