"Can I Kiss You?"
“How do you feel about kissing?” Tony asks looking up at Bucky from where he is working on the inside of an engine.
“I’m sorry?” Bucky says looking down at Tony.
“We’re helping out at a festival to raise money for cancer research. And they need someone to help out at the kissing booth,” Tony says and Bucky stares at him.
“Who in their right minds would want to kiss me?” Bucky asks.
“Anyone with eyes,” Tony says without missing a beat and Bucky opens his mouth but he doesn’t really have a response for that.
“I...I don’t,” Bucky says thinking about strangers touching him, kissing him, and shudders. Tony’s face immediately softens and he discards the engine to give Bucky his full attention.
“...Or you can help me out with the ring toss. The booth that the people in charge rented was a rigged one so I’m building then a good and fair one. I could use a carpenter's assistant and a caller’s assistant. Thor said he’d help. We can put him in the kissing booth. Maybe he’ll meet someone,” Tony adds quickly and the knot in Bucky’s stomach eases a little and he nods.
“Yeah that sounds like a plan. What even is a kissing booth. I know the name is self explanatory but like logistics wise?” Bucky says.
“Well someone would give the kisser or caller a dollar or whatever and then they step up to the kisser,” Tony says stepping up to Bucky and looking up at him.
“Then what?” Bucky asks mouth going dry.
“Then they ask can I kiss you,” Tony says and Bucky finds himself nodding and next thing they know their lips are pressed together and Bucky’s hand goes up to caress Tony’s jaw.
“Wow, now I’m glad we decided to put you in ring toss. I think that the entire population of New York would have a heart attack if you kissed them like that,” Tony says trying to catch his breath and Bucky smiles.
“No that wouldn’t. I only kiss special people like that,” Bucky says.
This time it’s Tony who is rendered speechless.
