Pairing: Bucky Barnes x I Reader
Warning: I said fuck or something like that
a/n: Hi I tried the me perspective I don’t know what it’s called in English since English is not my first language so excuse me and have fun reading hehe
So, there’s this guy I saw at the park and he was really good looking and pretty cute and he sat next to me on that bench reading his book.
He smelled nice but please don’t think I’m a creep his cologne was just fucking strong and it kind of burned my nose but I liked it. The pain not so much in my nose.
His smell was so good. He smelled like a real man. So musty and a tiny little bit of mint and vanilla. It kind of distracted me from writing my email on my phone.
My nose started to tickle and I scrunched it up and then there it was. I had to sneeze and my god, it was the loudest sneeze I ever had which made me jump in shock. I’ve never sneezed so hard and loud in my life.
I know it sounds weird considering that sneezing is a normal human reaction. But this was definitely not normal. My head started to hurt and I thought I’m going to die. Seriously. Not being over dramatic.
My nose and throat started to burn like hell and I needed to sneeze again and that guy next to me started to look weirdly at me.
After the third bombing sneeze he placed his book down and grabbed some tissues out of his backpack. He tapped my shoulder and he handed them to me.
He smiled sheepishly and I thought I’ll faint just there on the bench. He was really handsome, like really really handsome.
I thanked him and nodded and there it was again. Loud and hard. The next biggest sneeze of my life. I didn’t know what was wrong with me I don’t normally sneeze that loud.
And again. The next loud sneeze. The guy next to me smiled sadly when he handed me a single tissue I gladly grabbed from his hand.
“Bless you doll. I think, you’re allergic to something?” I blinked at him a few times when I realized he just talked to me. I wasn’t quite sure if he really did talk to me but as I opened my mouth to answer him I sneezed again, covering my face with the tissue.
He started to laugh and placed his book back down. He grabbed another package of tissues out of his backpack and handed them to me.
“You need them more then I do. Take them all” he said pointing with his hand in my direction.
I nodded and thanked him again. His eyes were blue and I swear I could swim in them and never go back. Like the ocean.. so blue. I stared at him for a while longer when I realized I’m actually starting to be a creep. Why am I so weird?
He frowned when he realized me staring. My eyes widened and I looked down on the package of tissues.
“I’m sorry. You just have beautiful eyes” I apologized taking the package off his hand.
“Can say the same about you and your face, doll”
He said as he grinned. I blushed. Hard. My cheeks were hot and turned red at the same time. I probably looked like a tomato. I looked away and grabbed the next tissue out of the package. Ugh.
I sneezed again. God dammit. He’s so pretty and he talks to me and complimented me and all I do is sneeze right in front of him. How embarrassing.
It’s not like everyday that someone who looks like this is being super duper polite and flirty with me.
“You need to get out of here. Come on I’ll get you some tea.” He said standing up. Just then I realized the light shimmer on his left hand. It was a dark metal with blue linings in between. I looked up at him again and realized who I’ve been talking to the whole time.
“Omg” this word slipped out immediately and my eyes widened when he started to laugh, realizing I started to recognize him.
“Don’t worry I won’t kill you. Just want to drink tea” he said while pulling the strands on his backpack.
I shook my head and blinked a few times. This is the Winter Soldier. I’m not scared of him considering he started to join the avengers and turning to the good side. I was just a little star struck? I’m not sure if that’s the right words to say. I was just a little OMG OMG OMG in my head. The Winter Soldier/deadliest assasin in the world wants to drink tea with me.
“I’m not scared of you I’m just a littl-“
His eyes widened when I bent over and sneezed again into the tissue. I cleaned my nose and looked back up at him. His eyes still widened when I smiled.
“Tea sounds nice I guess” He grinned back at me.
Together we walked over to the next coffee shop with me still sneezing from time to time.
“I didn’t get your name doll.” He turned to face me and smiled.
“(Y/N) (Y/L/N)” I said fiddling with my tissue, ripping some pieces off the soft fabric.
“Pretty” he said opening the door for me. I nodded and whispered a thank you.
“Bucky Barnes, I know” I said grinning again.
We just kept on grinning at each other. I didn’t know what was going on but I just wanted to smile. He was so pretty and handsome and his smile was so dreamy it just gave me all the feels. It was like a dream and I felt so calm with him.
“Could I get two cups of camomile tea?” He said holding two fingers up to the cashier.
“Oh and can you put honey in it please?”
The woman stared at him for a moment, blinking twice. She looked at me and back at Bucky and just nodded. She recognized him but she wasn’t scared.
“It’s $3.45, please” she said nervously. I grabbed my purse out of my bag when I felt his hand on my arm.
“I got this” he grinned down at me and handed the woman $5.
“Please keep the change” Bucky said when he grabbed the cups and walked to a table near the window. The woman turned to her co worker and started to whisper. They were fan girling. I mean, I would have too. Look at him.
“I hope this table is okay” I hung my bag around the chair and as I wanted to answer him I felt that little tickle in my nose again. I immediately grabbed my tissue and sneezed in it. Loud again. Pretty loud because some people turned around to see what kind of bomb just exploded.
Bucky giggled. What a giggle. The most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life. It was so good that I started to giggle too. I started to giggle while cleaning my nose and staring at his face. I’m the most weirdest person on this planet.
“You’re having an allergic reaction” he said while sitting down on his chair and grabbing his cup. I sighed and sat down across from him.
“But I don’t understand why because I don’t have ANY allergies. And we’re out the park now so-“ next sneeze.
He leaned back on his chair and stared at me for a moment. When he started to squint his eyes I gulped the sip I took from my tea down and started to laugh.
“What?” I placed my cup down.
“I’m just trying to find out why you’re sneezing”. I laughed again, taking another cup of my tea.
“Are you a doctor or what?” He shook his head and leaned closer to grab his cup.
My nose tickled again and I sneezed.
“I’m curious” he laughed again and with that I sneezed again.
“Tell me more about you-“ another sneeze. I held my finger up while searching after the tissue package in my bag. I grabbed a tissue out and held it against my nose to clean it.
“I’m sorry.. so,” I looked up at him again only to see him grinning at me.
“What do you want to know?” I asked and with that we sat there for maybe an hour just talking. I sneezed a couple of times. Couple of a lot times. I sneezed a lot. Almost after every sentence but Bucky assured me that it’s okay. If I was him I would have just punched my nose and left, that’s how annoying I was.
Grabbing his ringing phone out of his jeans he excused himself out. Whenever he moved just a tiny little bit his scent flew straight to my nose. Man.. he just smelled so good.
When he came back he looked down at me and grabbed his backpack.
“I’m really sorry but I have to go. It was really nice meeting you today (Y/N). Maybe we ca-“
I just closed my eyes for a moment and opened it again. He stood there and his face just showed me how bad he felt for me sneezing the whole time. I smiled up at him and stood up to grab my bag.
As I turned back to him I started to nod.
“I’d really like to see you again Bucky”
He laughed and with that he leaned in and hugged me. It was a warm hug. He held me tight in his arms and oh god, his arms were strong. He was so big and I didn’t want to leave his embrace. And his smell. He smells so good - and with that I pushed him away and sneezed again. Loud.
Bucky’s face turned from shocked into amused. He grabbed my hand and started to laugh.
“I guess your nose doesn’t like my cologne “ he said with a jokingly tone and then it clicked.
Dumb. I’m dumb for not realizing it earlier. I was too lost in him to realize that whenever he’s coming near me and I start smelling his perfume my nose dies a little.
“Oh..hehe” Hehe? Seriously? He turned to the table, grabbing a pencil out of his jacket and started to scribble something on the napkin. When he turned back to me he grabbed my hand and gave it a light kiss and then he handed me the napkin.
“Call me and next time we meet I promise to put on a different perfume” He winked at me and his lips curled up into a smile.
I just nodded and with that he turned his back to me and left the coffee shop. I looked out the window only to see him wave at me before he walked away.
Did this really just happen? And I sneezed again.
Now I’m actually thanking my nose for reacting like that.
