Chapter 6
Bucky loved his magic lessons, sure he basically had to go to school twice a day but magic is just so much fun. His tutor Wanda was really nice too, she was one of the most powerful mermaids in Atlantis’s history. She was younger about 75 years old, with light brown hair and a scarlet red tail. Today she was teaching Bucky an healing spell, that was aimed to bring living things from the brink of death.
They bobbed in the water, as Bucky worked on bringing a piece of sea grass back to life. He sang in a low tone, most of the words were in Ancient Greek as he hovered his hands over the grass. He watched as the sea grass transformed from a dry brown color to a vibrant green.
“Nice work Bucky!” Wanda complimented.
“Thanks”
Wanda laid back against the edge of the pool, her face illuminated by the strategically placed torches around the room. “So I heard a rumor that your grandfather let you tell your friend about us” she stated eyes locked in on Bucky expectantly.
“Um, yes it’s true. Is that like a big deal or something?” Bucky asked defensively.
“No, no I don’t really care” she admitted, “but it’s definitely rubbed some people the wrong way” she said with an edge to her voice.
“Why? Nobody cares that my dad knows”.
“Oh please, it was the biggest scandal in the kingdom in a millennium when your mom came home pregnant with a human in tow” Wanda revealed.
Bucky picked at his nail beds, a nervous habit, “I had planned on taking Steve to Atlantis this weekend, do you think it would be safe?”
Wanda looked contemplative, “nobody would do anything to harm you I’m sure of that, but I can’t say you won’t receive any push back” Wanda seemed like she was picking her next words carefully, “especially the Pierce family, I know how close you are with Alexander Jr. but his father has been in charge of the isolationist movement since the beginning”.
“He did react violently when I told him I was telling Steve” Bucky chuckled petulantly still angry about the ordeal.
“Violently? Are you serious?” Wanda asked concerned.
“Mhm” Bucky hummed, “he uh— he slammed me into the wall because I wouldn’t let him leave my room until he told me why he was so angry” Bucky revealed feeling himself start to get emotional. “I guess now I know why he was so angry”.
Wanda looked infuriated, “I’m gonna kill him” she muttered.
Bucky smiled, “don’t worry about I plan on never speaking to him again”.
“No Bucky blow jobs, that might really drive him insane” Wanda joked.
“Shut up” Bucky felt his face heat up.

Steve took Bucky to the movies Thursday night, it was technically their first date as a couple. They’d been to the movies together a million other times, but this time felt different, this time it felt right.
They went to see some cheesy action flick, with lots of explosions and gore. They shared a popcorn and a large Icee with two straws and held hands the whole time. They’d done everything Steve wished he could’ve done with Bucky at the movies since he was 13 years old.
It’s what happened after the movie that Steve hadn’t expected. They sat in Bucky’s car and were passionately making out, when Bucky slowly started planting kisses down Steve’s neck and sucking small bruises into his flesh.
“Oh Bucky” Steve sighed in pleasure, he felt himself getting hard in his pants. Bucky’s hand started traveling up his inner thigh, Steve’s heart was beating a million miles a minute.
“You like that Stevie?” Bucky asked his voice deeper and sexier than normal. He grabbed Steve’s erection, and Steve squirmed away.
“Buck, stop please” Steve breathed. Bucky yanked his hand away.
“Sorry I was getting carried away” Bucky apologized eyes looking at Steve concerned.
“It’s okay, it’s just aren’t we moving a little to fast? I mean we’re both inexperienced I just don’t want to do anything we’d both regret”
Bucky smiled at Steve, it was reassuring, “I totally understand Steve, but there’s one thing you should know Steve, I’m not a virgin, shit I’m not even close to being a virgin”.
Steve didn’t think that would make him feel better, but in a way it did. “Maybe we can start slow, like with a hand job or something, because I don’t know what I’m doing” Steve admitted.
“It’s okay, I can show you” Bucky whispered capturing Steve’s lips in a kiss. Bucky’s hands slowly crept their way into Steve’s pants and grabbed his dick. Steve was a goner.

It was even more eventful Friday morning when Bucky, like usual, drove Steve to school. Usually they sat in the parking lot and ate breakfast and talked, but today their wasn’t a lot of talking. Especially since Bucky’s mouth was full of Steve’s dick.
Steve’s moaned with pleasure as Bucky’s mouth bobbed up and down on his erection. He didn’t plan on receiving his first blow job at eight in the morning in the school parking lot, but you know shit happens.
“After last night, I couldn’t keep your dick out of my mind” Bucky had told Steve, and that’s when Steve knew he was fucked.
“Buck— I’m gonna” Steve whined warning Bucky of his impending orgasm. Bucky just kept sucking, even when Steve spilled in his mouth, Bucky just swallowed it up.
Bucky wiped his face and sat up smiling at Steve. “That was hot” Bucky said grabbing his backpack.
“Hey, at least let me return the favor” Steve said noticing Bucky’s erection pressing against his jeans.
“No time, the bell rings in three minutes” Bucky told him, Steve nodded. “Plus it takes me a lot longer than three minutes finish” Bucky revealed, Steve face heated up in a blush. He was looking forward to seeing how long it would take.

Lunches on Friday were always torturous for Bucky, it was the day the cafeteria always served fish sticks. He walked closely to Steve, his arm slung around the shorter boys shoulders. Steve noticed Bucky’s change in demeanor as the approached the cafeteria.
“You good?” Steve asked concerned.
“The smell of the fish makes me queasy” Bucky admitted.
“Really? I thought all mermaids could eat is fish”.
“That’s a common misconception actually, Atlantis is half on land and half underwater so we are able to raise cows, pigs, and chickens as well as a variety of different crops” Bucky said matter-of-factly, “plus it’s kinda hard to eat something that you can talk to”.
Steve looked at him mouth wide open, “you can talk to fish?”
“Yep,” luckily they sat at a picnic table outside of the lunchroom so the smell wasn’t too overwhelming. When they arrived, they were greeted by an unfamiliar face. He was a boy, with dark wavy hair, dark eyes, and short statured.
“Hey, who’s this?” Bucky greeted sitting down on the bench with Steve.
“This is Tony” Clint introduced him, “we’re in the same PE class, today’s his first day”
The kid looked cool enough, he was in dark wash jeans and an Iron Maiden T-shirt.
“Nice to meet you I’m Steve” Steve piped up from beside him.
“Bucky” Bucky said giving a slight wave.
“Nice to meet you” Tony said smoothly, “weird question, is that your real eye color?” he said addressing Bucky.
“Uh- yeah”
“Fascinating” Tony muttered.
“So, where’d you move from?” Bucky asked.
“New York City, my dad develops weapons for the military so we had to move” Tony said, “So, are you all from here?”
“Bucky, Clint, and I were all born here” Sam responded.
“I was born in Brooklyn, moved here after my dad died” Steve answered.
“I’m from Russia” Nat added, “so what’s your next period?”
“Marine Science with Mr. Barnes”
“Hey, that’s my next period! And Mr. Barnes is my dad” Bucky said excitedly.
“Nice” Tony acknowledged, “maybe we could walk together”.
“Yeah of course, as long as your okay if I walk Steve to his art class”.
“Yeah no problem” Tony replied.

Bucky and Tony walked to their 5th period together. It was a little awkward, but so are most new friendships.
“So you and Steve-“ Tony probed.
“Are boyfriends, yeah” Bucky said getting that day-dreamy look thinking about Steve.
“Cool, so what kinda stuff do you like to do? Do you surf or go to the beach a lot?”
Bucky smirked and looked down, he hated telling this lie. “I was actually in a boat accident when I was little so I have a fear of being in water, it’s called bathophobia”.
Tony eyed him suspiciously, “dude are you serious? You’re built like a swimmer and your hair looks like you soak it in salt water every night”.
Bucky laughed inconspicuously, “I don’t know man, maybe it’s genetic”. Bucky opened the door to his dad’s classroom. “Hey dad this is Tony he’s new”.
Mr. Barnes shook Tony’s hand, “Nice to meet you, just have a seat anywhere”.
“Alright, everyone take a seat” his dad announced to the class, “before we get started, remember your permission slips for the aquarium field trip are due tomorrow”
Bucky raises his hand, “yes James” his dad said, waiting for what ever smart ass response his son had for him today.
“My mom says I’m not allowed to go because she’s mad at the teacher for not putting away the dishes last night”. The class laughed and his dad just rubbed his temples.
“Well good thing you only need one parent to sign the form” His dad replied, trying to conceal a smile.

Steve slept over at Bucky’s the night before they went to Atlantis. His mom was a little hesitant considering that they were now boyfriends, but Steve promised there would be no funny business, it’s not like anyone would get pregnant.
Steve could make all the promises in the world to his mom, but nothing would’ve stopped Bucky from coaching Steve through giving his first blow job.
It was unpleasant at first but it was worth the sounds of Bucky’s moans. He loved his boyfriend and he deserved to feel this good, Steve would do anything to make him feel good.
True to his word Steve had been going at it for 20 minutes and Bucky had yet to come. Steve didn’t know how long it normally took people, but this definitely felt on the longer side.
“Stevie, Steve I’m gonna come” Bucky said pleasure laced in voice. Steve watched as Bucky erupted in his hand, he would learn to swallow another time.
“Steve that was amazing,”Bucky panted, chest rising and falling.
“Best blow job you’ve ever received?” Steve asked cheekily.
“Technically no, but it was definitely my favorite” Bucky smiled, “let me tell you sucking dick takes practice”.
Steve hit Bucky playfully, and captured his mouth in a powerful kiss. They snuggled up together and fell into a peaceful slumber.

The car ride to the beach was full of excited energy, Steve’s knee bounced up and down as Mr. Barnes drove.
Bucky smiled at Steve’s focused expression as he listened to Winnie’s spiel about the etiquette in Atlantis. “Absolutely no pictures! Don’t stare at the more peculiar looking merfolk, most of are half fish but there are some who are descended from other marine life like turtles, crabs, and octopus they can be a little funny looking”.
They pulled up to the parking lot of a marina. George clapped Steve on the back, “You and me take the boat Steve, while Bucky and Winnie swim”.
Steve watched Bucky shed his clothes and jumped into the water. “Close you eyes” George had said as Winnie did the same.
George led him into a small fishing boat and navigated it into the open ocean. Steve watched in awe as Bucky and his mom swam next to the boat, Bucky’s tail silver and blue and his mom’s was emerald green.
“Beautiful isn’t it?” George commented from behind the wheel of the boat.
“Yeah” Steve breathed.
“I remember the first time Winnie took me to Atlantis, she was 5 months pregnant with Buck. It’s probably the most beautiful place I’ve ever been” George remembered fondly.
“I can’t wait” Steve revealed.
“It’s an interesting culture, it’s so stuck in the past, yet advanced, everyone is equal” George said eyes locked on the water in front of him. George muttered something under his breath, and a huge whirlpool of water extended from the ocean. Steve did not expect him to steer the boat straight into it.
Steve was disoriented for a minute, the rough seas had disappeared into tranquil open ocean. In the distance their was what looked like a city, Steve was amazed.
