Cuddle Bug (Bucky x reader)

Date part 1

"Wow" Bucky saw the door open, and you pulled it wide open and looked up at him from under your eyelashes at first before you fully looked up and gave him a radiant smile. He decided to go with a pair of black dress pants, dress shoes and a white long sleeve button up shirt. He made sure to shave, and gel his hair back a bit. He admitted spent at least half an hour in Steve's room going over every detail of the date with him anxiously. Steve chuckled, but let Bucky word vomit everything he wanted to do with you. It sounded like it was more of three dates combined into one, but he didn't want to take any chances. He wanted to impress you on the first date, so you would go on another one with him. He already decided that he wanted more than one date. He nearly forgot the roses he was holding behind his back as he looked you up and down feeling like he had been hit by a truck. You looked perfect, almost Angelic to him. He got caught up looking in your eyes, and he felt like the world had just stopped for him. He wanted to pinch himself with the way you were smiling at him. "You look swell, pretty, beautiful" he stammered a little bit and berated himself on the inside. He had finally gotten his confidence back, and with one look he felt like he was a boy that hadn't even gone to war yet all over again. "These are for you" he pulled the bouquet of a dozen red and pink roses from behind his back.
"Bucky, you didn't have to do that" he saw a blush grace your cheeks and he couldn't wipe the grin off of his face. "Thank you so much" you continued, taking the bouquet and smelling them deeply before turning around to go replace the ones in the vase. Loki was suddenly there taking them from you, and headed on a mission to replace the roses for you. "I guess I don't need to buy any more tomorrow" you smiled softly at him, and he could feel his heart thundering in his chest.
"Or ever again if I can help it" Bucky spoke without thinking. He took your hand, and lifted it to his lips, gracing the flesh with his lips in a gentle caress. "Are you ready to go?" he asked, clearing his throat.
"Yes, of course" you nodded, still blushing and he saw you barely wave to Loki as he had your full attention and he felt proud of that fact. He had everything planned out, but stammering in front of you was not one of the plans. He felt a little shy all of the sudden, but held your hand as he led you down the stairs towards the front door. He had asked for a little privacy when he took you out to Steve and Sam, but he had a feeling that Sam was looking through the peep hole in his door to see the exchange.
When you opened the door, you did not expect Bucky to be so dressed up for a first date. He looked so confident at first, but his words betrayed him. He looked you up and down, and you knew you were doing the exact same thing to him. He looked amazing to you. When he kissed your knuckles, you thought for sure that you were going to faint. He looked so handsome to you, you couldn't believe he was the man taking you on a date. It was like the best dream come to life. You felt like you were almost floating down the stairs in a surreal like state as you followed him. He stopped at the front door and opened it for you and waited for you to walk out. You blushed again, feeling like you hadn't stopped blushing since you opened your door and whispered a thank you before walking out. You had a moment of anxiety, wondering if you should have worn pants instead in case you were taking the motorcycle, but he easily walked towards one of the SUV's and unlocked it with a click of the button on his keys and he opened the passenger side door for you.
"Thank you" you whispered shyly as you slipped in, keeping your legs together, and you put on your seatbelt while he ran to the drivers side.
"I borrowed the car from Tony," he admitted as he got in. "I thought you might wear a dress" he looked at you with a soft, shy smile.
"You were right" you gave a soft giggle.
"For the record, that dress puts the black one to shame" he started to feel his confidence oozing back into his system. Your cheeks were flushed from the moment you opened the door, and it didn't seem to be stopping. He hoped it was because of him, because he knew that the small flush on his cheeks was from you.
"Thank you" you giggled again, a little louder this time and he gave you his flirty smile. "So, where to?" you looked to him as he turned the engine to life.
"A few places" he took out his phone and turned on his spotify playlist and you heard the familiar melody of one of the songs you played often come through the speakers on the car. "I had Sam help me with a playlist" he gave his flirty grin again. He confidently made his way out of the parking lot and you looked out the window. He waited a few minutes, driving with one hand confidently and kept sneaking glances at you. "I know it's the first date, but may I hold your hand?" he asked nervously. You blushed, but put your hand over and took his.
"We do cuddle quite a bit" you glanced at him and gave him a smile. "This is nice" you admitted, enjoying the feel of his flesh hand holding yours. He rubbed the pad of his thumb along your hand as he continued to drive, barely taking his eyes off the road except when he stopped at stop lights. That's when he would look at you, and make small talk asking you more questions about you. You loved the attention he was doting on you, and how you had his undivided attention.
"Are you looking forward to the farmers market tomorrow?" Bucky asked as he seemed to be paying more attention to the direction he was going now.
"I am, are you joining again?" you asked, half expectantly.
"Wild horses couldn't keep me away," he chuckled. "Besides, I'm getting used to the waffles and the crepes. Can't stop doing that now" he graced you with a wink. "Here we are," he pulled into a parking lot. You looked out the window and gasped.
"A butterfly conservatory?" you asked in surprise.
"Lots of butterflies and flowers for you" he beamed, feeling relieved that he had made the right choice.
"I've always wanted to go" you admitted as you let go of his hand, and undid your seatbelt.
"Wait for me" he asked softly and he slipped out of the car and ran around to open your door. He held out his hand and you took it after grabbing your purse. He held your hand proudly as he started heading towards the door.
"James Barnes?" someone stopped you at the door and you looked at him curiously.
"Yes" Bucky smiled and took out his ID.
"The place is empty, as requested" the person gave a wide smile.
"Empty?" you looked to Bucky in surprise.
"Well, except for the butterflies of course" Bucky winked at you and opened the door for you quickly. You walked in and saw there was a second set of doors. One of the workers opened the doors for you both quickly and you both walked through. You felt Bucky take your hand again, and started leading you down a pathway. You quickly took out your phone and started taking pictures of all of the butterflies and the flowers. Bucky low key took a few photos of you, as you had butterflies go in your hair. You looked at him and gave a shy smile and he took one of you looking at him with the butterflies.
"Perfect" Bucky whispered.
"Perfect date" you whispered back.
"It doesn't stop here" he warned you. "I have more planned" he grinned.
"Normal first dates stop at one thing" you giggled.
"I've waited a long time for this" he took your hand and graced your knuckles with a kiss again. You both walked through the pathway, and you found yourself putting pictures on your secret Instagram account. You did take a few pictures of Bucky, but kept them to yourself. You ended up getting one where there was a butterfly on his vibranium arm and he was looking at the butterfly curiously. You quickly sent it to Sam in excitement, and then Steve because you could.
"Are you getting hungry?" Bucky asked after a while of the two of you walking around.
"A little bit, what's the plan?" you countered quickly, having relaxed completely.
"I found a little Greek restaurant that I know you are going to like," he winked at you. "I made a reservation already" he seemed to relax as well, putting a hand in the small of your back as he led you towards the door. You made sure that there were no butterflies attached to you or Bucky before you walked out the first set of doors again. You saw there were a few people waiting to get in.
"Did you really rent the entire building?" you looked at him as he started to lead you back towards the car.
"For an hour" Bucky nodded with a mischievous smile on his face. "I know you get anxious in new places, so I wanted to make sure you would be comfortable"
"That was very sweet of you" you turned to smile at him.
"Maybe next time we go, we can do it with the crowd" he added hopefully and you looked at him surprised.
"We are going more than once?" you asked with a giggle as you got to the car.
"You think we are only going on one date?" he countered quickly and you flushed looking at him with a smile on your face, that you didn't want to even bother hiding.
"You know, I really hope we go on more than one" you blushed and held his gaze.
"Is that a yes?" he moved in a little closer, and his eyes went hooded as he looked down at your lips, licking his own slowly.
"Aren't you supposed to ask after the first date is over?" you found your gaze going to his lips as well.
"I'm willing to break a few rules for you" he gave a wink and his flirty smile.
"Next Saturday, don't be late" you smiled and he opened the door.
"I wouldn't dream of it" he chuckled.
