18. holding your hand tight out of reflex when you are in a crowd 23. adjusting the pace they walk in so you can catch up

The streets of New York tend to be quite crowded, but today feels like every citizen decided to go out. 

You instantly regret not taking up Happy's offer to give you a ride. You figured, since the interview the team is giving will take place only a few blocks away from the Tower, you might as well just walk there instead of getting stuck in traffic. Silly you.

As you try to shove your way through the flood of people around you, you keep your eyes on Bucky some feet away from you. He didn't want to take part in the interview - he thinks they're awkward and he would rather stay at home and recover from a recent not-so-smooth mission. 

Unfortunately for him, he is Sam's right hand and he absolutely has to be there. Unfortunately for you, you are a member of the new PR team that was created for the Avengers and you were chosen to persuade Bucky to leave the Tower.

For someone who didn't even want to go, Bucky sure is walking fast and you worry you will loose him and get stomped any moment now. You're going to be a late and in major trouble and you just know it. A teenager with his nose in his phone walks straight into you and you absolutely lose it.

"Hey! Watch it!" You scold the kid loudly, drawing the attention of a few passers-by.

The boy is about to argue back, when a hand on your shoulder tugs you a step away from him

"Sorry 'bout that." Bucky says and the kid shrugs and walks away. "You're really jumpy in crowds, aren't you?" He gives you a smile and stirs you back towards your destination.

"I don't like being shoved around." You complain with a pout.

"Hm. You sure about that?" He smirks at you over his shoulder, which makes you sputter and stutter, and jab him in the ribs.

So maybe the two of you had a sweet little secret, but he didn’t have to call you out on it. You stick out your tongue stubbornly, which only makes him laugh more.

"Come on, we're gonna be late." Bucky offers you his hand, which you take gratefully, since his presence naturally makes the crowds part. 

You notice he makes an effort to match your pace, which no matter how much you try, you can never be as fast as a super soldier. 

You also notice this is the first time the two of you are holding hands in public, which makes a dumb grin grow on your face.

DAILY REMINDER THAT ILYSM 💖💖💖

EXCUSE ME WHILE I GET UP OFF THE GROUND ILY TOO 😭😭😭💖💖💖

I feel that certain people come into our lives at certain times because they have something we need, or maybe they have a lesson for us to learn. And now you have. Maybe spend some time reflecting on the time you've spent together and see what you might have needed or learnt. It sounds like maybe it isn't meant to be, and that's okay! There's a reason he came into your life and I think you might be able to figure out that reason if you dig deep. 💖 Or this is just some woo-woo bullshit lmao

I say this all the time when it comes to friendships but I never even considered it about relationships! The idea that you have friends for certain parts of your life and even though you’ve grown apart and aren’t as close as you once were, doesn’t mean that friendship wasn’t important and significant at the time. 

That really does help. Honestly, it was probably an outlet for me during quarantine when we were all incredibly isolated and I couldn’t even see my mom who lives like ten minutes away. I felt so much more during that time and now that I’ve been able to see him in person it’s not quite the same. 

I can’t even express how much better I feel after talking with you all and to have your support and advice. Seriously. I am so grateful for all of you ❤️

Oh hey, a fellow Aussie! I’d love to request some sweet 1940’s!Bucky fluff, maybe set during the war? I’ve been on such a kick for that lately. Thanks so much!

Okay, I haven’t written a lot of 40s!Bucky but I sure do love to read it – he’s so smooth and flirty and just an absolute sweetheart. He comes home and his knees would almost buckle as soon as he sees you – you, tears in your eyes, smile on your face, beautiful, wonderful, you. 

He’d stand before you, uniform a little grubby and askew, unable to even smile because he’s just so relieved to see you. 

‘Hey, dollface,’ it’s almost a whisper, quiet and careful – scared you might be angry at him for goin’ out there and getting himself into trouble but you just reach up to grab his face, fingers tracing across the new stubble on his jaw. 

You dont have to say anything, you just push yourself up onto your toes and press your lips to his like you’ve been wanting to do for months and god, it’s so much better than all those times you’d dreamed about it. You’re crying but he just kisses you like he’s starved, and holds you like he’ll never let you go again.
