clueless {steve}

i shake my head "nope, just friends"

steve nods, slowly

i look at bucky and he nods

plan b

i sit next to steve and chat for a while before i see a blonde come into view

"hey hot stuff, want to dance?" he asks

i nod "sure"

i put my drink down, waving to steve before turning back to the guy and letting him lead me onto the dance floor

we dance for a while before he starts getting handsy

'now would be a great time to jump in, bucky' i think

i feel two warm arms wrap around me, leading me out of the crowd

i sigh a breath of relief

"thanks b-" i cut myself off because when i look up, i realize it was steve

he looks at me, worriedly "are you okay?"

i smile, nodding "i'm fine steve. thanks for jumping in and saving me"

he nods, blushing

a slow song comes on, making me smiles

"steve" i say

he looks at me with those baby blue eyes "yeah?"

"would you like to dance?"

"oh-uh-i don't think you would want that"

"i do"

"but i can't dance and-and i'll look like a fool- and i'll step on your toes" he rambles, scratching the back of his neck as a blush creeps onto his face

i smile, taking his hand in mine

"i'll show you how"

he nods, smiling shyly

i lead him onto the now spacious dance floor

i take his hands, placing them on my waist as i place my hands on his shoulders

i lead, as he watches and tries to copy my feet

halfway through the song, he starts to get the hand of it and i let him lead as we stare into each other's eyes

"i'm sorry for being so rough when i was pulling you away from him. i just couldn't stand the thought of him being that close to you" he says, softly

i feel my cheeks heat up "i was glad you stepped in. otherwise, i would've had to make a scene"

he chuckles

"do you want to know something?" i ask

"sure"

"you're so clueless"

he raises an eyebrow in confusion "how?"

i smile "i've been throwing you hints for months about me liking you and you didn't catch on. i asked bucky to be my date to maybe make you jealous, but you still didn't catch on. it took a complete stranger, feeling me up, to get your attention"

he blushes "sorry, i just-uh- i don't have much experience with woman"

i giggle "i know you don't, but can you at least tell me if you like me back?"

he blushes wildly "oh-uh-sorry, yeah-yeah i do like you too. i have for a while"

i blush, smiling widely, as i lean up to kiss his cheek

"you're adorable, stevie"

he blushes even more
