i want steve and bucky’s first kiss to be after bucky comes out of cryo. he comes stumbling out, and steve’s there, steve’s always there, catching him with arms around his waist and soft calming not-words. and bucky just sags, shivering a little as his body really starts to wake up and realise it’s been cold for so long. then the pain, bubbling under the surface, and he’s used to it, he can ignore it, but the heat of steve against him is making it worse, not that he’d ever give it up

then his fingers are digging into steve’s shirt, clutching tight to the skin and muscle underneath, probably hurting steve but steve doesn’t even flinch. just keeps murmuring wordlessly, rubbing a hand up bucky’s back, down his spine. over and over until bucky’s shivering turns to shaking. then steve realises his shirt’s wet where bucky’s got his face tucked in, and holds him tighter, both arms so tightly wrapped around him that his fingers are nearly white from the pressure.

then bucky. bucky doesn’t even hesitate, just surges up and mashes his mouth against steve’s, and steve’s shocked at first but quickly gets with the program as bucky clutches at his shoulders, fingers bruising against steve’s skin. steve hauls him in closer, kisses bucky for all he’s worth, gasping into his mouth, teeth clicking, and bucky’s making these hurt noises, but clings when steve starts to pull back in concern.

eventually they’re just breathing into each others’ mouths, and the room is empty, scientists having left when they realised bucky was crying, and eventually bucky pulls back just a little, eyes wary but lips curling slightly into a hesitant smile. hi he says quietly, unsure.

hi steve responds, smile spreading over his face, before his fingers dig into bucky’s hips slightly and he adds i missed you.
