steve's bestfriend, bucky, has been hanging out around the stark tower for several months now and i haven't seen him smile once
which is too bad because he's really cute
it bothers me as i like to make people smile and laugh because it makes me, in turn, smile and laugh
and to see him smile would make him even cuter
so here i am, knocking on steve's door
he opens it with a smile "hey, y/n. to what do i owe the pleasure?"
"can i come in?" i ask
he nods and lets me through
i sit on his bed and he joins me soon after
"what makes bucky smile?" i ask
he gives me a confused look "why?"
i sigh "you know how i like to make people smile and laugh steve. and i can't get him to smile and laugh so i need help. please, please, please"
he laughs "okay, okay"
i smile and listen
"back in the day, he would smile at the smallest and stupidest things, but now he doesn't. i don't know really"
i sigh "steve, you don't know?"
he shakes his head "sorry, y/n. i don't"
i nod and kiss his cheek "thanks anyways steve"
i stand up and walk to the door, but stop and turn towards him
"actually, can you help me with something?"
he nods "sure, what is it?"

everything is set up and everyone is ready
steve plays the record and lets the old, yet beautiful music fill the room
steve then runs upstairs to get bucky and coax him downstairs
a few minutes later, i see them
"what is going on, steve?" bucky asks, confused
steve smiles "it's like back in the day. it was y/n's idea"
they walk over to everyone else, as i am hiding, so he doesn't see me yet
"wow, you guys even have the clothes" bucky says, with wide eyes
"wait till you see, y/n" natasha says
i can hear the smile in her voice
i walk out of hiding, wearing my beautiful floor length dress

i was as bucky's eyes scan me up and down
i can't help but smile widely at him
i walk over to him "would you like to dance, james?"
his eyebrows raise at the name, but smiles ever so slightly
he offers his hand "i would love to"
i place my small hand in his as he leads me the the center of the room
he twirls, dips, and moves me to the music
all the while, i can't help but laugh
the song ends and a slow song is played
he starts to walk away, but i reach out and grab his hand, stopping him
he turns around, surprised
i smirk "where do you think you're going?"
he smiles, making me swoon, as he walks back over to me
he awkwardly stands there, making me laugh
i reach out and grab his hands, placing them on both sides of my waist
i then place my hands on his shoulder as we sway
he looks down at me "i didn't think you would want to dance like this"
"and why is that?"
"because you're beautiful and i'm-i'm not the same person from this era. i'm not a ladies man like i use to be. i'm not james anymore. i'm just this monster with a metal arm"
by now, his hands are at his sides, but my hands stay where they are at
steve starts to walk over, but i send him a look, telling him not to
i place my hands on his face, looking into his blue eyes
"i don't care who you are or what you are called or anything. i came up with this idea to make you happy. i've never seen you smile and i wanted to see that beautiful smile. i'm sorry if this made things worse for you" i whisper, not breaking eye contact
his face softens "it's okay. i'm sorry for freaking out. this just brought back memories of when i use to not have this" he says gesturing to his metal arm
i take my hands off his face and smile at him
i put my right hand in his metal one, linking my fingers with his
he smiles softly at me
"i like you bucky" i whisper "a lot"
he smiles wider now and he leans close to me "i like you a lot too, y/n"
"then kiss me" i whisper
he places his soft lips on mine, making me melt
the sound of clapping and cheering causes us to pull away
i laugh, leaning my head on bucky's chest
"looks like we got a standing ovation" he whispers, placing a soft kiss on my head
