Buck puts his hand on his shoulder and pushes him back down, "I think you've had enough tonight, Bucky. How 'bout we get some fresh air?"
Normally, his first instinct would be to drink _more_, just to be contrary, but not with Buck. He likes the undivided attention Buck gives him and the heavy feeling of his hand on his shoulder, so he'll do what Buck asks.
Bucky's head falls back against the booth as he smiles at Buck, "That's usually my line. You tryin' to get me alone, sweetheart?"
Buck huffs a laugh at the harmless flirtation, "Shoot, Bucky, you found me out."
Warmth starts to bloom from Bucky's chest, creeping up his neck and into his cheeks, his smile threatens to split his face. He hopes that Buck just thinks it's the alcohol, shit, _he_ hopes it's just the alcohol.

I lost my damn mind and did a cannon rewrite from Bucky's POV
