Bucky tries not to get involved with high school drama shit. Steve Rogers is just another kid who gets beaten up in corridors.
Until he’s not.

In which Bucky is the new kid, Steve is the square who takes him in, Tony and Pepper fight over valedictorian a year in advance, Thor remains a golden god, Loki remains a drama queen, Natasha commits an act of vigilante justice, Clint somehow fails to make a your mom joke, Darcy is a Satanist, Jane is a goth, Sif is fine thank you very much, Sam climbs a tree, Peggy says no, Rumlow is a bully, and Mrs. Rogers, Mr. Coulson, and Ms. Hill are all very long-suffering.
Or: the story of the year Bucky Barnes finally learned how to talk to at least one other human being, discovered J. D. Salinger, started to try in school (kind of), got a haircut, landed a punch, almost got arrested, and kissed a boy on the mouth.
Bucky is pretty sure the guy at his gym is the same guy he blew at a party when he was a teenager, but he’s got no idea how to ask that question. His best friend is no help at all, and in the end, it’s pretty easy.
Steve and Bucky are oblivious. Their teachers are not. They devise a plan to bring them together.
Steve's been friends with Bucky for fourteen years. Unfortunately, he's also been in love with him for nearly just as long. He's been pretty good at hiding that over the past few years - until he follows a porn link one night and accidentally discovers that his best friend is secretly a camboy. Steve really shouldn't watch those videos... Not with the filthy things Bucky does to himself that gets him screaming every time he comes...
He shouldn't... he really fucking shouldn't.
But Steve's only human.
He’s heard about friends practicing kissing together but he always suspected it was just an urban legend or something.
"You want to kiss me," he says, disbelieving.
"I want to save your sorry ass," Bucky corrects him. "But if you don’t want to… If you’re too chicken, perhaps…"
