Steve was always good at art. He started to sketch random things when he was very young. He didn't know how useful his skill would be though.
It was the dreaded Monday and Bucky had no plans of getting up, but his mom would never let that happen.
"Wake up Buck!!" She yelled from downstairs "You'll be late if you don't." That's what caught Bucky's eye well-ear he fell from his bed.
Groggily, he got up and looked for some decent clothes. He picked a regular navy blue t-shirt and pants. He put his hair in a short ponytail. Running/walking downstairs he quickly munched on a protein bar. His mom sighed and wanted to lecture Bucky on tardiness, but saved it. Bucky kissed his mom on the cheek and said a quick "love you" and saw the bus stop in front of his house.
He walked into the bus waving slightly to some people he knew. He looked for a seat and saw one empty one next to a scrawny looking kid. He had blonde hair and what Bucky assumed to be blue eyes, he couldn't really see them when said person was looking down.
He awkwardly clears his throat, the blonde must have been sleeping because his head shot up.
"Yes?" he said a bit confused he noticed Bucky and just nods his head understanding the situation. Bucky sits down just in time for the bus to start off again. Bucky mutters apologies for waking him up.
He just smiles and laughs it off saying "I probably should be awake anyway." He has a nice laugh Bucky thinks as he shrugged it off. Since he doesn't start the conversation Steve introduces himself.
"Hi I'm Steve, Steve Rogers."
"James, but call me Bucky got it from my middle name." He'd always told people to call him Bucky so his response seemed robotic almost. Steve sees Bucky isn't in the mood to talk and takes out a sketchbook.
He pulls out a pencil and moves to a page full of doodles and many expressions he'd seen a few days ago. Steve loved to just sketch out his surroundings. Bucky stared in awe he would never be able to draw so much to just... catch a raw expression of someone and make it on paper. His best art would have to be the macaroni art he made in 2nd grade. That thought sounded depressing, Bucky didn't mind, but his art teacher did. Mrs. Baril was a middle-aged woman who wasn't necessarily "mean" although she expected a lot from her students. Buck only signed up because it was really easy, but the teacher took a maternity leave and wouldn't be back till the next semester.
The bus seemed to only take a few seconds before it stopped at prison he meant school. He stood up to leave and shot Steve a small wave. He returned it with a big grin. So yes.. Bucky was bisexual and he thought Steve was a bit cute, but only his mom knew. She respected him and also teased him about "the future of her grandchildren"
Bucky's P.O.V.
It was lunch and I then had two more classes. I was doing fine in all my classes, but art my last period. Right now I was dreading about it with my friends Natasha and Clint.
They patted me on the back and said "Deal with it." Next thing I know I hear squealing and I roll my eyes knowing who it was already. Tony flashed them his winning smile and started to walk up to us with a newcomer. I almost snorted when I see Steve with Tony's hand on his shoulder. He looks confused and then he saw me and beamed. I waved and he waved back shyly. Behind Tony is Thor with his brother Loki who looked very pissed. Bruce is next to Tony holding a book and sends a smile our way.
"Guess who I met!" Tony says practically thrusting Steve to our table. I frown at his harshness with Steve because he looked so frail.
Steve just grinned and says "Hi Buck." I return with a small "hi" and look at Tony quizically. He smirked and tells a story of how this jerk was going to try and beat up Tony and Tony was going to introduce him to Thor, but out of nowhere Steve comes and he defended him! He gave that brute a run for his money.
"You are tough dude." Steve blushes and just says a faint "thanks" I never would have thought of Steve as strong, but hey whadda ya know. He eats with us and we all start to chatter loudly out of the corner of my eye I see Steve take out his sketchbook. I said nothing and smiled Steve seemed to not go anywhere without it.
Steve's P.O.V.
I stared at my sketch of all my new friends there was Natasha, Bruce, Clint, Tony, Thor, Loki, and Bucky. Bucky. I hear the bell ring and I headed to my last period, art. I'm there early because my classes were very close together luckily. My heart skipped a beat when Bucky comes in class he looks tired and I can tell he was in P.E. He'd probably got in trouble and had to run a few laps. If he got tired from just todays P.E. that meant he was weaker than me, but I doubted it. He looked like a guy who worked out. I snap out of my daze when I heard the bell ring and the teacher comes in. Mrs. Baril has a sweet smile on her face as she comes in. She passes back the test on anatomy. I smile and see the big 100% :) on my test. Beside me Bucky groans and puts his head on the table. I glance and see a 70% on his test.
I patted his shoulder "Atleast you passed." I said weakly. Bucky appreciated my effort, but it won't help him, I could tell.
"How about I help you?"
