I don't own the song credit to Colbie Calliat for the song, What if and anyone else involved. Or the quote taken from the movie.
I see us standing over there
You look around without a care
I'll pretend you notice me
I look in your eyes and what'd ya see
Is made up in my mind
Am I just wasting time
I think this could be love
I'm serious
Bucky watched as you danced around the music that was flowing through the room. You were half dancing by yourself, half teaching Peter and Ned how to dance. Your eyes caught his for a split second. He felt a surge of love go through him, but he didn't move from his spot by the bar. Steve ambled up to his friend, noting the yearning looks that Bucky sent your way. "You know, you could ask her out." Bucky huffed a laugh, "She won't go out with me."
"That's because you haven't asked her yet." Bucky flashed a rueful grin. "She'd say no anyway." Bucky turned back to the bar as Steve addressed his back. "As the world's expert on waiting too long, don't. You both deserve a win."
What if we were made for each other
Born to become best friends and lovers
I want to stay right here
In this moment with you
Over and over and over again
Bucky had wandered over to you as a slow song started and had asked you dance. Everyone else had either paired off or in Ned and Peter's case gone home to build Lego Death Star. You danced with Bucky, he was staring at you while you rested your head on his shoulder. He pressed a kiss to your hair. He opened his mouth to ask you out, but he didn't want to ruin the moment. He kept swaying with you in his arms. His mind was going over all the what if's.
What if this could be a real love
A love, a love, yeah
I write our names down in the sand
Picturing all our plans
I close my eyes and I can see
You, and you ask, "Will you marry me?"
Almost a year later, you were dancing again, not with Bucky or Peter, just by yourself. You were dancing in the rain. The rain speckled your hair the drops beginning to look like diamonds in the starlight. The drops stuck to your clothing and made it appear as if you were shining with stars. He began to feel whole again, even though he was just looking at you.
I see us standing over there
You look around without a care
I'll pretend you notice me
I look in your eyes and what'd ya see
Is made up in my mind
Am I just wasting time
I think this could be love
I'm serious
