AN: Written for the prompt "it wasn't supposed to happen like that."


"It wasn't supposed to happen like that," Bucky said gruffly, hair falling over his face as he bent to pull up his pants.

"Oh yeah? What had you had in mind for our first time, candles? Rose petals?" Sam grinned, doing up his own pants.

"A bed, at least. More than a wall," Bucky admitted, eyes still downcast.

Sam was a pretty easy-going guy, so when his emotionally repressed mutual crush threw him up against the wall and began tearing at his fly, he'd been more than happy to go with the flow. But he wasn't about to let Bucky beat himself up over his sudden display of desire.

"Hey, look at me," Sam said, tipping Bucky's chin up. "Plenty of time for beds, okay?"

"Is there time for a shower? I'm kind of a mess now," Bucky said with a small lop-sided smile.

Sam stopped smiling just long enough to kiss Bucky soundly on the mouth.

"Hell yes there's time for a shower," he said, leading Bucky down the hall.


AN: A short one, I know, but if you liked it I'd love to hear from you :)
