Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
Bucks stares longingly at Tony as the sleepy genius inhales his first cup of coffee of the day. Before he’s caught staring, Nat punches his shoulder and he turns to frown at her.
“What was that for?!”
“For being dumb and not asking Tony out already,” she says simply. “You’re a scared idiot and he’s an oblivious idiot so if you want him to have your babies, buck up.” She chuckles at the pun and Bucky only scowls. But she’s right. He had to do something about this quickly. And he had...no ideas.
“How should I ask him?” He asks the spy.
“Smart of you to ask for my advice. Lucky for you, I have an idea. Although, there’s not much you need to do to impress him,” she adds. “Show off your assets, if you will. Take him to the gun range. Show him how to handle your gun. Bucky blushes profusely but doesn’t argue. “He’ll be puddy in your hands- or in your bed,” she grins wickedly.
He wants to protest but has to admit Nat makes a compelling point. “Thanks Nat,” he mutters before trailing after Tony.
He quickly catches up to him and calls out to get his attention. “Hey Tony!” The genius stops and turns around to greet him. “Hiya Snowflake. What’s up?”
“Uh I was wondering if you wanted to go down to the gun range later? There’s a new gun I want to try out and I could use the company.” There. That wasn’t so hard.
Tony smiles at him and his heart melts. “Sure thing. Can’t say that I’ve been down there in a while. Let me change and sign some paperwork for Pepper. We can meet in say, an hour?” He said yes! Cool cool cool cool cool. Oh right he needs to answer. “Sure thing, doll.” And where did that come from? He hopes Tony didn’t notice the pet name. The smaller man only looks at him curiously before walking off. “See you then, Buckaroo!”
An hour later, Bucky’s hands are sweating as he waits for Tony at the range. When the man finally shows up, he’s managed to calm himself enough to call him over. “Over here, Tony. Did ya bring a gun? If not, I have several.” He motions sheepishly to the array of at least 8 handguns and 4 rifles. “Are we fighting an army or something, Snowflake?” Tony chuckles and selects the gun Bucky had been wanting to try out.
This is the perfect moment to impress Tony! “Here if ya want, I can show-“ before he can finish his sentence, Tony discharges the gun 3 times, leaving 3 small holes right on the practice dummy’s head with so much as a blink. Bucky’s jaw drops. And apparently Little Bucky is pleasantly surprised as well, his jeans quickly becoming uncomfortably tight. Oh no.
At that moment., Tony turns around to look at him. “Not bad, eh, Mr. Sniper?” And then his eyes take in Bucky’s red face, and inevitably trail down to his pants. “Oh my, is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?” He winks and waggles his eyebrows exaggeratedly.
Bucky wants to crawl in a hole. “Oh god Tony, I’m sorry. It’s just that-“
“You didn’t know how well I can handle a gun, did you? I mean, I used to make weapons. Oh! Do you have a gun kink, is that it?” Bucky swallows and tries to make eye contact even though the last thing he wants to find is rejection. He’s already embarrassed himself enough. Oh what the hell. “Um no. Just a you kink!” He blurts out.
Tony is silent for a moment and then his face breaks into a delighted smile. “Well, it’s a good thing I have a you kink, too, then. And if you play your cards right, I’ll show how well I can handle other things,” he smirks and winks again.
Before the soldier can react, the genius leans in and presses soft lips to his. It’s rather innocent and cautiously sweet, considering the situation but it’s perfect. And Bucky’s certainly not complaining.

By the way, Nat totally knew Tony was a damn good shot.
