"two punks in love you had my back from day one we were so young your last off hit like a truck a loaded gun that cupid knew what was up and now i'm locked inseparable we've become"

it was was the day before bucky had to leave for the war, both bucky and steve knew that, they wanted to make their last night together something special so they remember it, atleast 'till bucky comes back or steve joins the war with him.

he was taking him to that stark expo that night 'the future' they called it.

they were walking towards the entrance side by side with each other

"where are we going?" steve spoke up

bucky looked over at steve and smiled slightly "the future"

steve's eyes shined as he looked back to the entrance "come on then" he took bucky by his wrist and started dragging him through the entrance, bucky laughed as he did so.

"steve, steve stop" bucky laughs lightly steve stops and let's go of bucky's wrist, "we can see perfectly fine from here so no need to drag me around anymore"

"sorry buck, just excited" steve looks down then back up to bucky

"it's okay stevie i am too, i mean this is our last night together we have to make most out of it"

"you say that like you're going to die"

bucky shrugs "you know what i mean though, until you can get yourself out there and we fight side by side"

"yeah i know" steve says as the expo began, they both stayed quite as they watched howard stark come to stage and talks about a flying car.

and suddenly as soon as the car begins to lift off the stage it comes crashing back down hard with a 'thump'.

steve looks back to bucky after it's happened, bucky just smiles and shrugs.

"come on steve let's get home, it's already gotton late" bucky says as he's helping steve walk down the sidewalk to their apartment "you're exhausted, we shouldn't have stayed out all night" bucky continues

"i'm fine buck, really"

"you're obviously exhausted steve, you can't even walk on your own, it's like you've been drinking"

steve laughs a little looking up at bucky while holding on to him by the waist.

"i haven't been drinking.. i don't think" steve laughs again.

"what the hell does that mean, have you?"

steve shrugs, as they got to their apartment, they walk up the steps and into the apartment. bucky takes steve and lays him on the couch kneeling beside him brushing his blond hair from his face, steve stares up at him smiling.

"what are you smiling for?" bucky asks

steve's eyes close and his nose crinkles a bit as his smile grows wider, he opens his eye's.

"nothing" he whispers as he reaches his hand up and placing it on buckys face, bucky leans into the touch.

"are you sure?" bucky asked

"mhm" steve nods "can you lay with me?"

he doesn't think him and steve are both going to fit on the small couch as he answers "yeah" moving steve a little so he can get behind him and holds him by the waist resting his head on steve's soldier.

"is this okay?" bucky asked

"mm" steve hums in a form of agreement, he turns around so he's facing bucky now. "i'll miss you ya know? for the time begin' when you aren't here, or i'm not with you out there" it came out in a whisper just loud enough so they could hear.

"i know, me too"

steve nods pressing his face into bucky's chest placing his arm around him.

bucky threads his fingers through steve's hair as he speaks "stevie?"

"yeah?" he looks up at bucky

"i don't want to go, i never wanted to.. i-i.. i'm just afraid i guess"

steve's eye's feel with concern and sadness as bucky finishes speaking.
"of course you're afraid.. it's okay that you are, and i know you didn't want to go but it's going to be okay"

"and what if it's not?" bucky asked

"we'll find a way through it.. like we always do" steve says as he hugs bucky closer putting his head between bucky's shoulder

"y-you're right, we will we always do" bucky laughs a little sniffing like he's holding back a sob in which he probably was.

steve rubs buckys back 'shhing' him quietly, bucky finally let's go as he let's out a shaky sob pressing his face into steve's chest crying.

"it's okay, shh it's okay" steve tells bucky.

"no, it's not, how is it okay. they're sending me off to war were.. were i'm most likely to die.. a-and i won't get to see you again" he says all at once it coming out in a shaky breath.

steve graps buckys shoulders moving him so he's facing steve, he looks over buckys face he takes bucky's face with his hands using his thump to wipe away his tears.

"shut up.. you're not going to die out there you hear me, you're not going to die i swear, and you will see me again so please just be quiet okay?, i don't want to think about any of that, especially not right now"

bucky nods "i'm sorry, i just.. i don't know it's like i told you i'm just afraid and it's just too much"

"it's okay buck.. you're okay, and you're going to be okay... we're going to be okay"

bucky nods again, leaning down as his eyes flutter shut he places his lips on steve's, steve's eyes widen a bit at the action but he's then closing his eyes kissing bucky back, bucky pulls away pecking steve's once more as he rest his forehead on steve's.

"i've been wanting to do that forever now, guess now is the best time" bucky speaks laughing a little, he moves his head away from steve's brushing his hair with his fingers.

steve looks at buckys face up and down as he smiles. "i'm glad you did.. i've wanted that forever too, i just would have never made the first move.."

"neither would i.. but i guess i had a reason to make the first move" bucky speaks as he pulls steve closer to him. steve puts his head against steve's shoulder nodding at buckys words

bucky rubs steve's back as he speaks "we probably should get some sleep"

"yeah probably" he yawns closing his eyes "g'night bucky" steve whispers as he falls asleep

"good night stevie"
