the snow crunched under bucky’s sleek dress shoes. he pulled at his suit jacket, quickly fastening the button as he rounded the car to open the door for the crazy pop star. she smiled mischievously as she climbed out of the car, her hand immediately flying to cup bucky jr. he grunted and moved her hand away. she giggled before leaving him at the car. bucky sucked in a breath before shutting the car door and pressing the lock button. 

he headed toward natasha and opened the door to the bar. when they entered the bar, as usual, natasha thought all of the attention was on her when in reality, no one was paying her any mind. bucky sauntered into the bar, making heads turn. 

he moved to the bar, leaning on it as he ordered a drink. “james, these people are staring at me.” natasha muttered and bucky rolled his eyes as he turned away from her to look around the bar. he frowned a little before moving from his position at the bar. he made his way over to the couple and gently tapped the man on his shoulder, “excuse me, sir, i was just wondering when america will finally switch to the metric system.” he grinned. 

the couple turned around and the woman began speaking, “it’s about bloody time,” she stopped talking when she looked at the man in front of her and squealed, wrapping her arms around the brunet. “bucky!” she laughed into his shoulder and he immediately wrapped his arms around her. “it’s good to see you too, peggs.” he grinned. she released her hold on him and gave him a once over. 

“wow,” she breathed and steve chukled. “it’s good to see la is treating you right, buck.” steve said, wrapping bucky up in a hug. peggy smiled at the two large men hugging each other. “and it’s good to see you finally grew.” bucky joked. steve shoved him lightly, “i think i could take you, now.” steve lauged.

bucky grinned, “no more back alley fights for you, huh, pal?” peggy scoffed, “i thought i was going to have to put him on house arrest.” steve rolled his eyes, “so, tell me, punk,” bucky started, clasping a hand on steve’s shoulder and giving a subtle nod towards peggy. 

steve shook his head and smiled, “we’re married, you loser.” bucky’s eyes widened. “i didn’t think you had it in you, rogers. about damn time.” he grinned, pulling his friends into a group hug. when they released each other, steve pulled his phone out of his pocket. “this is stella and stefan.” steve informed, showing bucky a picture of two beautiful children. bucky’s eyes widened as he took the phone, “they look just like you.” bucky said looking at the couple. 

steve chuckled, “stefan is a lot like you though, pal.” bucky smirked, “oh, yeah? he gets all the ladies, huh?” peggy swatted him in the back of his head. “jesus, peggs! it was a joke.” he whined. 

just then someone cleared their throat behind him. bucky internally rolled his eyes, before putting on his best fake smile. “steve, peggy. this is natasha. natasha, steve and peggy.” he introduced. natasha squealed, “oh my gosh, your names are so cute!” she giggled, jumping in front of bucky. 

behind her, bucky used his hand to imitate a gun and put it against his head. natasha said something about using the restroom. 

peggy opened her mouth to speak and bucky immediately cut her off, “ i know, i know, peggs. it’s for work. what are you guys up to?” he quickly changed the subject. “i sold out, man.” steve confessed, sheepishly rubbing his neck. 

bucky scrunched up his face, “ew. you’re a doctor?” 

steve chuckled, “nah, man. i’m a dental hygenist. peggs is the doctor.” he smiled. “i could punch you in your perfect teeth, right now.” bucky scoffed and glanced around the bar. 

the air had been knocked out of bucky, his heart fluttered in chest just like it had ten years ago. you were still as beautiful as the day he left brooklyn. your hair covered your face as you dropped your head and smiled at something a customer said. and god, he would give anything to see that smile again. 

you happened to look up in the direction of steve and peggy, your breath getting caught in your throat as you looked at the man staring back at you. you quickly ducked down behind the bar and began rummaging through the cabinets to make it seem like you weren’t avoiding him. 

bucky quickly walked over to the bar where you were. he leaned over the bar and caught your gaze. a small smile pulled at his lips as he called out your name, his voice soft as silk. a shiver ran down your spine as you looked back up at him getting caught in those enchanting blue irises.

“bucky.” you whispered as you stared up at him. “doll, what are you doing down there?” he chuckled. “we started running out of whiskey,” you lied, holding up the new bottle in your hands as you stood up. you quickly rounded the other side of the bar and stared up at bucky. 

he smiled down at you and slowly pulled you into his arms. “i can fit my arms around you now.” you mumbled into his chest. bucky’s chest rumbled against your cheek. his arms felt amazing. hell, he looked amazing. bucky was huge, he wasn’t your chubby best friend from high school anymore. he was a beefcake, his hair was short, and the stubble that adorned his jaw made him look heavenly. 

you pulled out of the hug and looked him up and down, “wow! look at you!” you exclaimed, running your hand down his arm. now, here he was, that same awkward bucky you grew up with. he blushed and stammered out a, “yeah, i know.” 

you two laughed, “how long are you in town for?” bucky’s smile fell a little, “um. only for tonight. i’m headed to paris tomorrow.” you looked up at him through your lashes, “just one night? you can’t stay just a little longer?” 

bucky chewed on his bottom lip. “i wish i could, but i-” bucky’s sentence was cut short by natasha knocking herself into your shoulder, making you stumble a step forward. you rolled your eyes, of course bucky wouldn’t be here alone. 

“lets go, james. there’s pee on the floor.” natasha demanded, turning her attention to you and scoffing before spinning on her heel. “well, it was great seeing you again,” you grinned. bucky swooped you into another hug and cupped the back of your head in his hand. 

you pulled away, “um, just, give me a call sometime. i’m living at home.” you internally screamed at yourself. “i know, i’m living with my parents.” bucky gave a small laugh. “bye.” he watched as you no longer paid him any mind and moved back to making drinks for the customers in front of the bar. bucky turned to leave and was standing face to face with one of your exes, tim.

tim teasingly whispered out your name. “she’s like a box of fine wine.” bucky flinched, smelling the alcohol come off in waves as tim spoke. bucky’s face twisted in annoyance, “you would know,” tim laughed. “you know, in high school you’d never get a girl like that. but now, you could have any girl you want.” 

“i bet you could hit, stark.” tim egged on. “alright,” bucky walked away. he shook his head, but then he had an epiphany. bucky reached the door before he spun around and headed back towards the bar. “hey, doll. i think i might be able to get a flight out tomorrow. how about we catch up?” he bit his lip, watching your reaction. 

you smiled brightly, “yeah, how about lunch tomorrow?” bucky forced a smile at your words. “you mean like a day date?” he asked, hoping he didn’t hear you correctly. you nodded, smile still evident on your face. “great, i’ll pick you up at noon.” he said. 

the whole bar could hear natasha yelling bucky’s name, her voice raising each time she said it. bucky huffed, staring up at you. “that’s great, i look forward to-” bucky cut himself off, standing up straight. “i’m busy!” he shouted. 

“i’m busy, you stupid dick!” natasha retaliated. bucky quickly turned back to you, “that sounds awesome. i’ll see you tomorrow.” he said, rushing off to the pop star. “bye,” you mumbled to yourself before taking another order. natasha glared your way as you smiled at someone in front of you. natasha turned to bucky when he stood in front of her. roughly grabbing his tie, “what was that about, hm?” bucky sighed. 

“nothing, nat. just old friends saying ‘hi.’“ natasha released his tie, swinging her hand back to, once again, grab a firm hold of bucky jr. bucky shoved her hand away, “it’s not a handball, nat.” she giggled, “my handball.” 

bucky rolled his eyes and pulled her out of the door and back to the car. 

when pulling into the driveway of his childhood home, bucky realized just how exhausted he was. he stepped out of the car and guided natasha back up the steps to the house. the two changed out of their clothes and settled into something more comfortable before getting into bed. 

while natasha released soft snores, bucky sat on the floor of his bedroom. he was shuffling through the pictures he had just torn off the walls of his room no more than two hours ago. he stopped at the one picture that made his heart swell. it was graduation, you two had just graduated and were smiling brightly at each other when his mother snapped a picture. 

“god, doll, what do you do to me?” he mumbled to himself before shoving everything back into the box and settling down into his sleeping bag on the floor. bucky stared up at the ceiling as he waited for his body to succumb to it’s tiredness. 

bucky huffed and clapped his hands, making the lights turn off. as he finally fell asleep, a little voice told him his plan would be a disaster.
