Bucky breathed, setting his guitar down on the family couch before answering the door. Tony was coming over to help him study for his biology final. Tony wasn't even taking the class, but he had volunteered to help anyway. Not only was he smart and handsome, but kind as well. No wonder Bucky had had the biggest crush on the guy since freshman year. Opening the door, Bucky couldn't help but return the smile that greeted him. "Hey, Bucky! Let's get this shit done!" Tony said enthusiastically, pushing his way past Bucky into the Barnes' residence. He paused in the doorway, looking between Bucky and the guitar. "I didn't know you played," he said softly.
"Yeah. I was working on a new song when you came over," Bucky said with a shrug. "I could play it for you after we finish study."
Tony smiled. "Well, then let's get started."
Several hours and three cups of coffee later, Bucky was studied out, cell structures imprinted into his mind's eye. "Ugh, I don't think I'll ever be able to look at an animal the same way ever again." Tony laughed, immediately perking up Bucky's mood. "Now that we're done, I can finally play."
"Yeah yeah yeah," Tony said, bouncing excitedly in place.
Bucky grinned at Tony's enthusiasm, hoping he would still be in a good mood after the song was over. Picking up his guitar and sitting in the adjacent loveseat. Tuning his guitar, he looked directly into Tony's eyes as he began to sing: "You've got a hold of me, don't even know your power. I stand a hundred feet, but I fall when I'm around ya. Show me an open door. Then you go and slam it on me. I can't take anymore. I'm saying baby, please have mercy on me. Take it easy on my heart. Even though you don't mean to hurt me, you keep tearing me apart. Would you please have mercy, mercy, on my heart?"
As he continued, Bucky noticed tears making their way down Tony's face, though his smile only seemed to get bigger and he was finished, he barely had enough time to put the guitar down before Tony was on top of him, lips on Bucky's as if the other boy were oxygen he desperately needed. Bucky froze for about a second before returning the affection. "So, I take it you like it?" Tony rolled his eyes, mumbling something like 'dumbass' before kissing him again. I'll take that as a 'yes', Bucky thought before losing himself in Tony once more.
