I actually wrote something like this a few years back but I never posted it, so I guess this is the perfect moment to do that, haha. This is entirely unedited, and I haven’t touched the text since… 2016? Idk, but I hope it doesn’t suck 😂
"May I have this dance?" Bucky asked, surprising Steve whose face was turning a light shade of pink. Steve nodded hesitantly but then looked down.
"I don't know how to dance, though," he mumbled but Bucky obviously didn't care as he carefully placed the sketchbook on the table, then pulled Steve up and out on the floor.
"I'll teach you."
Steve looked at Bucky's hand as he carefully placed it on Steve's waist, pulling him closer. Bucky then took Steve's other hand in his and grinned at him. "You're supposed to place your hand on my shoulder y'know."
Steve did as Bucky instructed and placed a hand on his shoulder. He could feel a small hint of nervousness as he was suddenly this close with his best friend, the guy he admired so much and, well, the guy he was so in love with. Bucky's confidence had always impressed Steve and he wished that he could be confident too someday, but he also doubted that it would ever happen.
"Look down at my feet. You basically just mirror my movements," Bucky said with that attractive smile of his, the smile that drove Steve crazy because it looked so good on his lips.
Bucky slowly started moving to the music. At first it was difficult for Steve to keep up with him but eventually he got the hang of it, and his movements started to look more like dancing rather than stumbling around. The song on the radio switched after a while to something a little slower than before, and Steve honestly thought his heart was going to stop beating when he felt Bucky move even closer to him.
They danced around like this through multiple songs, and it was quite obvious that they both were having fun. Bucky had a huge smile on his face and even Steve was smiling, sometimes laughing whenever one of them messed up. Of course it was inevitable that Steve would sometimes step on Bucky's foot or almost stumble over his own feet as he didn't have any experience, but regardless of that, the moment wasn’t ruined.
