Start from the beginning
                                    

"That it's premature and won't do me any good to think negatively," he muttered, knowing the exact words to come from the optimist.

"Exactly. So stop stressing and go with the flow of things. Nothing good is going to come out of you waiting for the worst thing to happen tonight," Steve shook his head.

"It's supposed to be a night to remember. Not a night to dread," Peggy interrupted as she came to Steve's side with a little note in hand she saw on the counter in a spot it may have been easily lost. "Here, you may want this though if you do want it to go well."

"Right, thanks," Bucky nodded quickly, taking the item.

"You guys will meet us there right? Everyone else ready too?" Bucky asked.

"Everyone else is ready. You'll be fine Buck," Steve laughed again. "You sound like me the night I took this gal out."

"Is that so?" Peggy smirked, leaning more into Steve's side as he wrapped an arm around her.

"Yeah, he's a little worse than I was, but he's doing something a little bigger than a simple date," Steve winked to Bucky. The brunette sent him an eyeroll.

Peggy looked down at her watch and gasped. "You need to get going, Bucky. She'll be expecting you any minute," Peggy moved to push him out the door with a bouquet of flowers in her hand to give him.

Bucky had made it to Y/N's apartment in perfect timing, but found himself faltering at the door. His whole body was made up of nerves at that moment. He couldn't seem to shake them no matter what he told himself.

Lucky for him, all it took was Y/N opening the door and sending him that sweet smile accented with one of her simple little dresses, that made those nerves dissipate.

"You look great," he said with a lovestruck school boy sappy smile

"You look great," he said with a lovestruck school boy sappy smile.

"Thanks B," she blushed, scrunching her shoulders in a bashful way. "Here, come in for a second before we leave," she motioned him in as he followed. "I need to put on a pair of earrings and I'll be set." She stood on her toes giving him a gentle kiss to the lips.

Before she could walk off, he put the flowers between them and smiled.

"For you as always," he winked.

"And everytime, it makes me happier and happier," she winked back, giving him a bonus kiss. "I actually bought a new vase since I'm lucky enough to get gifted with them everytime we go on a date. Want to put those in it?" she asked as she started walking to her bathroom.

"Hard not to give a pretty girl flowers every chance you get," he noted, going into the kitchen where the new vase sat. "That plus, I know you like the greenery."

"It makes me very happy," she smiled, coming back in with her hands working to put the last pair of earrings on. "Ok, I'm all ready handsome. Shall we?"
