Imagine neighbors Bucky and Tony who's been flirting for weeks now until one day Bucky shows up at Tony's door with just a towel because he went to get the paper after a shower and he got locked out because the damn door is broken. Three weeks and five dates later Tony is still laughing about it.
So, there is no flirting in this and I apologize for that, but I hope you still enjoy it!
Tony couldn’t stop laughing. He was bendingover, clutching at the doorway so he wouldn’t fall down, and he just couldn’t stop laughing.
Bucky, as his hot neighbour had introducedhimself, was scowling at him but he also couldn’t fight the blush that wascreeping over his cheeks down his chest. And the only reason Tony knew exactlyhow far down the blush went was because Bucky was currently shirtless.
Actually, he was only wearing a towel slungaround his, very slender, hips and by now he had his arms crossed in front ofhis chest and was looking like he was ready to punch Tony in the face.
“So let me recap this,” Tony finallywheezed, trying to talk through his laughter, “You went to shower but when youwere done you didn’t feel like putting on clothes, so you went about yourbusiness naked until you realized you needed to get the paper right this damnsecond. You grabbed a towel, left your flat without a key, even though you know the door is a bitch that falls close every timesomeone so much as looks at it and then to the surprise of absolutely noone you were locked out.”
When Tony stopped talking he doubled overwith his laughter again.
“That’s about right,” Bucky growled andtapped his foot impatiently on the floor. “Are you gonna help me or not?”
“What makes you think I can help you?” Tonyasked and wiped his eyes to get rid of the tears there. He hadn’t laughed likethis in ages.
“I’ve seen you. You break into your apartmentregularly. Don’t deny it,” Bucky said when Tony started to protest and in theend Tony just shrugged.
“Fine, you’re right. I am not very good attaking my keys with me. I can give it a try if you want.”
He looked Bucky up and down, noticing that theflush came back full force under his scrutiny and he smiled sweetly at Bucky,who eyed him warily.
“What?” he asked when Tony didn’t stop hisstaring.
“It’s gonna cost ya,” Tony happily told himand Bucky clenched his jaw.
“What do you want?” he pressed out andseemed ready to just leave on the spot, locked door or not.
“Dinner,” Tony said and thoroughly enjoyedthe colour that dusted Bucky’s cheeks at that.
“With you?” Bucky asked with a raisedeyebrow but there was a pleased smile on his lips.
“Me, or anyone else you can find who isgoing to open your door,” Tony replied and Bucky laughed at that. He was evenmore gorgeous than with a scowl.
“Fine. Get me into my flat so I can put onsome clothes and I’ll take you out for dinner.”
“I wouldn’t mind you running around likethat a bit longer,” Tony shot back and now Bucky outright laughed.
“I guessed as much, you are not reallysubtle. But I don’t think we would get a table if I showed up like thisanywhere.”
“Oh boy, are you mistaken,” Tony mumbledand then louder said: “Alright, gimme a sec to grab my tools and I’ll get youinto your flat in under a minute.”
“Eager, are we?” Bucky drawled and Tonyjust looked him up and down again, like that would explain anything. It did forTony.
It took Tony thirty-seven seconds to breakinto Bucky’s apartment and Bucky gave it an impressed whistle.
“You really know what you are doing, don’tyou.”
Tony shrugged. “Like I said, I’m not goodwith keys. I had to break into my flat four times this week.”
Bucky eyed him unimpressed. “It’s Tuesday.”
“Says the guy with no pants. Now go, getchanged, I am starving.”
“Eager and bossy. I like,” Bucky saidbefore he vanished into his apartment.
He was back three minutes later, dressedand styled and even though Tony had to admit that Bucky looked pretty hot withonly a towel, it just couldn’t beat the jeans he was currently wearing.
Bucky noticed Tony’s appreciative glanceand turned for him. “I thought I’d bring out the big guns. I have to make upfor the first impression.”
“Oh believe me honey, nothing can beat thatfirst impression. And now let’s go!” Tony called out with a slap to Bucky’sass.
“We are not telling Steve how we met,”Bucky gritted out while Tony was still wheezing with laughter at the memory.
“It’s been three weeks, I thought you wouldlet it go eventually.”
“I will never, never ever let this go. You just watch me laugh about this in a year.Because I totally will.”
“I bet you’re gonna give your own speech atour wedding and you will still be laughing then,” Bucky sighed but he pressed akiss to Tony’s temple.
“If we get to the marriage stage I canassure you that I absolutely willstill laugh about this!”
“I feared so,” Bucky mumbled but couldn’thelp the fond smile when Tony broke down laughing yet again.
