You had known Bucky for a few months. As a S.H.I.E.L.D agent, you often crossed paths with him and exchanged glances.

Over the past month, you had begun to glance at him often, and he caught those glances with a smile more and more often.

Today, you had a shortened shift, and as you were already packing your bag to leave, Barnes came up to you and stood next to you.

"You're not busy tonight, are you?" the man asked almost timidly, trying to look as confident as possible. Bucky didn't often interact with people he barely knew, so his timidity was understandable and even cute to you.

"Have you been keeping track of my schedule?" you asked with a smirk, not looking up at Bucky.

"Don't be dramatic. I asked Nick. So, are you free tonight? The sky should be clear and the sea calm tonight, if you're free, we could..." You interrupted Bucky, not letting him finish.

"Yeah, I'm free tonight, at 8. Shut up before you say something stupid." All you got in return was a smile and the end of the conversation.
