Fake Staight Date (Part 1)

Silence fell amongst the four teenagers as they contemplated the proposal. Bucky studied the two girl's expresion while trying to hide his own excitement.

The plan, despite him never attempting it before, seemed flawless. It would be very similar to other arrangements he had made in the past. Knowing that, combined with his natural self-certainty, made his gut tell him the night would be a success.

"How did you even know?" Carol asked, nervousness etched across her face. She was sure she had been good at hiding her relationship with Valkyrie; as much as she hated doing so. Now she couldn't help but wonder what had given them away. How many people knew? How much trouble would they get into?

"Don't worry about that." Bucky said with a reasuring smile. "If you're worried we'll tell someone we wouldn't be doing this." He motioned to the four of them and held Steve's hand up while interlaced in his own.

Carol couldn't help but smile at the wholesome gesture, giving her the courage to gently take Valkyrie's hand into her own.

"So how do we do this?" Valkyrie asked with an unreadable expression. Carol wasn't surprised to see her put her walls up the moment Bucky confronted them with Steve at his side. She had asked a lot of questions and seemed understandably sceptical.  But Carol could tell Bucky's idea was growing on her.

"It's simple." Bucky smiled more. "You gals get ready at Carol's house. Steve and I will get ready at mine. We'll pick you up at 8 for the double date. No one would suspect anything when you gals go off together while me and Steve do the same." Bucky winked at Steve who still seemed to be silently considering the idea as much as the girls.

"And you've done this before?" Carol asked curiously as she glanced between the two boys sitting infront of her.

"Pretty much. Steve and I have done this before for girls, but it's only been for the girls...we've haven't been on a date." He added awkwardly at the end as though it hadn't sunk in for him yet.

"It's never been at a school event either." Steve pipped up.

"Don't worry buddy, everyone will be too busy focusing on themselves and the Prom King & Queen. We'll blend into the background." Steve nodded and smiled a little.

"This could work." He muttered.

"This will work." Bucky corrected.

"And if it doesn't?" Valkyrie asked, squeezing Carol's hand a little.

"Well." Bucky said, leaning back onto his hands. "It'll be a very interesting night."

Carol had lost track of the amount of times she had seriously considered asking Valkyrie if they could bail on the two boys. All four of them knew the severity of the consequences they would endure if someone caught onto their real date night plans. Although realising Steve and Bucky would have it significantly worse and yet were still the ones who thought of the idea put Carol's mind slightly at ease.

If they were confident in the plan, Carol knew she should be too.

The blonde looked over at her girlfriend to ask if her nerves mirrored her own only to have her breathe hitch as she took in Valkyrie's attire.

She wore a light blue dress that swayed lightly around her legs at the slightest moment. It clung to her waist just enough to show her figure, giving Carol the urge to reach out and wrap her hands around the smaller girl's familiar waist to hug her.

There were five, verticle, white buttons along the front of her dress, starting at the collarbone spaced out to reach the top of her stomach.

Valkyrie was in the middle of plaiting her hair, while anxiously checking to see if she had smudged makeup every minute or so.

Carol smiled at her girlfriend's small indicator of nerves, knowing that had mutual feelings towards tonight.

"You look beautiful." Carol said softly as she hugged her girlfriend and wrapped her arms around to connect her hands ontop of Valkyrie's stomach. She kissed her cheek in admiration then looked at her in the mirror.

Carol didn't fail to notice the small blush on Valkyrie's cheek at her words as the black haired girl finished her plait.

"Not too bad yourself." Valkyrie said approvingly as she looked over Carol's dress and took her hands in her own.

Carol's dress was a light red - although Carol had previously wanting to match colours with her girlfriend - that was slightly tighter than Valkyrie's and didn't have any sleeves leaving her shoulders bare.

Valkyrie wondered if Carol was going to get cold during the night and considered bringing a cardigan for her until she realised that was one of the boy's responsibilities. She sighed feeling disappointed at that fact but quickly smiled up at Carol to put the feeling aside.

"Hey," Carol said as she gently put a hand on both of Valkyrie's cheeks so they could look at each other clearly. "It's okay, this nights gonna be one we'll never forget."

A loud knock at the door brought the pair back to reality as they heard Carol's mum call up to them both.

Valkyrie quickly leaned up to kiss Carol on the lips and smiled reassuringly. "Let's go."

A.N: sorry I've been M.I.A y'all. I have a ton of oneshot ideas for these two I'm just struggling with writing atm. There might be an update spam at some point tho 👀
