This is based on a prompt that I saw somewhere...but I don't actually remember where from. Probably Tumblr. I added Tony and Sam in the next chapter so that a couple more things could be explained. I'll have that chapter up either tomorrow or the next day. :) Hope you enjoy!

Bucky opened the door, and upon seeing the people inside, he blinked and shut the door. Neither of them noticed in their…occupation.

Letting out a long breath, he leaned against the wall, gently banging the back of his head repeatedly against it in frustration. He brought his metal hand up to his face, wiping it tiredly.

It wasn't that he hadn't expected it. But it still hurt all the same, that his boyfriend of six months would be cheating on him, with the very man that he'd said he didn't even think was attractive.

Speaking of which, he knew the other man had a boyfriend, too – the strong blond guy just approaching him and the door in which the other two were exploring each other. It was like looking into his own past self, innocently looking for his boyfriend at Tony Stark's New Year's Eve party in each room he passed.

"You're not going to want to open that door," Bucky advised tiredly after the man – Steve, he thought – had gotten to the door he stood beside. At the blond's raised eyebrow of confusion, he elaborated, "Your boy Brock's mouth is a bit busy with Jack's."

"Oh," the blond said, not looking surprised but not knowing what else to say. After a moment, he crossed to stand on the other side of him, leaning against the wall next to him. "You're – Barnes, right?"

"Bucky," the brunette introduced.

"I'm Steve," the blond said. Bucky nodded, not feeling much like holding a conversation with the other man at the moment.

They were quiet for a few minutes, watching the other partygoers in various states of drunkenness and nudity. Several people were skinny-dipping in the indoor pool, and they watched as one woman jumped off the balcony into the deep end of the pool. People were laughing as she came back up, whining about the hard smack her body had made with the water.

"New Year's Eve, huh?" Steve huffed with a sort of self-deprecating laugh after some time. "I was just looking for Brock so we'd kiss at midnight."

Bucky quirked a smile at him. "So was I," he confessed. "For Jack, anyway."

"Seems a bit stupid, now, huh?" Steve said, his smile turned sad.

Abruptly Bucky decided that Steve shouldn't be looking so sad. He'd always been that way – being happier if he made someone else happy, so he would probably feel better if he cheered up the admittedly attractive blond.

"Not stupid at all," he said. "But since we have"—he checked his watch—"About a minute and a half till the fireworks ring in the new year, and we're likely to be the only ones here without a date to kiss, do you want to save some awkwardness and kiss each other?"

Steve was staring at him now, the lights from the pool flickering across his face. "Are you serious?"

Bucky shrugged. "Doesn't have to mean anything," he said, though he hoped that the slice of American apple pie would accept, if for nothing else than that the blond was attractive. "And it's not like we're really cheating anymore – clearly our boyfriends have decided they'd rather have each other and just forgot to inform us of that fact."

Steve blinked at him disbelievingly for a few moments before he huffed a laugh and shrugged, wiping a hand over his face. "What the hell," he finally said in acceptance.

And it was right on time, because people were beginning to count down from ten, staring at the giant clock that Tony had bought just for tonight.

Bucky smirked at Steve daringly, stepping well into his personal space and tilting his head up just slightly to look into the very blue eyes. "Just a kiss," he said as though reassuring him, but the look on his face almost dared the blond to do more.

Steve nodded, the look that crossed over his face saying that he wasn't backing out of this. "Just a kiss," he confirmed.

"…THREE!"

Bucky wrapped his arms around Steve's neck.

"…TWO!"

Steve raised an eyebrow as though saying, 'Is that the best you've got?' and countered by putting his hands on Bucky's waist.

"…ONE!"

A flash of a grin, and then Bucky and Steve's lips met.

They hadn't actually talked about how long their kiss would be, but regardless neither found themselves caring. Adrenaline flowing through both, their kiss became heavy within moments, their bodies pressing closer to the other as tongues battled for dominance. Bucky's fingers found themselves in Steve's hair, tugging and pulling the short strands to bring the kiss closer, and Steve's hands had slipped under Bucky's shirt, clutching him closer even while they traced the muscles on his back. Bucky finally acquiesced, letting Steve take control of the kiss, and in moments Steve's tongue was tracing over his teeth and the roof of his mouth, tasting faintly of chili peppers.

Both were brought back to the present when they became aware of their mutual hardness pressing against each other in search of relief. Pulling back reluctantly, they panted for breath while looking at each other with pupils blown wide. As though suddenly realizing where his hands were, Steve pulled his hands out from where fingers had gone to slip under the waist band of Bucky's jeans. Bucky mourned the loss, even while he removed his own hands from Steve's hair.

"Well," Steve managed after a moment.

"Well," Bucky echoed, not faring much better.

"I enjoyed that probably a lot more than I should have," Steve admitted after a moment. Bucky's eyes did a quick down-up, catching sight of the erection that hadn't faded in the least.

"Yeah?" he managed to say, trying to get his brain up and running again and willing his own erection to disappear. "Me…me too."

Steve quirked a little smile at him in amusement, clearly having caught Bucky's glance. "Well, now that we've made out and given each other mutual arousals, do you want to go on a real date with me?"

"Well, we do know at least that we're compatible," Bucky said with a little laugh, relieved that the awkwardness was fading. "Alright. Let me give you my number."
