Summary:
Steve absolutely hates his Ancient History class... Until he sees the student who shares the table with him. Maybe he doesn't have to drop the class right away after all. It can't be that bad if he gets to sit next to James three times a week. = Bucky loves Ancient History and he won't let the asshole professor scare him out of the class. He's determined to earn the best grade possible. Now if only his table mate could stop losing pencils and distracting him...
Basically a college AU featuring disabled!Steve (POTS, EDS, MCAS) and disabled!Bucky (POTS, EDS) along with 'crushing' 'idiots in love' 'friends to lovers' and 'everyone knew they were dating except them'. This is going to be a tooth-rottingly fluffy fic filled with adorable scenes.
Snippet:
“Hey, uh… Rogers?”
Hearing a new voice startled him for a moment after listening to Pierce’s droning monologue. The blond turned to his left to see his table mate watching him hesitantly. And fuck. He had to be the most beautiful man Steve had ever seen. He had no idea how he missed him before. Maybe it was because of Pierce’s demanding presence. But now that he was looking at his table mate, he knew he would never be able to focus on Pierce again. Steve wasn’t really sexually attracted to people. He learned that the hard way in high school. But he sure had an appreciation for the human body. Maybe it was just part of being an artist. Seeing things in detail and appreciating the composition of someone’s face, the colours in their eyes, or the way their hair could emphasize their personality. He could admire the aesthetic of someone’s lips or the lines and planes of a body. He just didn’t want to do anything about it. Just appreciate it. And he was certainly appreciating his new desk mate.
