《Distraction》You get that ring, Rogers.

By the time Bucky arrives Steve was pacing back and forth in the living room, talking to himself.

'Uhhhhh...Steve....pal? You Uh, you alright? '

Bucky ushers out confused and concerned.

'Buck!' Steve walks over to him frantically.

'Steve, are you on drugs?'

'What?!'

'You know, drugs...I know that Spencer down the street sells that thing called loopy luck but I never thought you would...'

'Buck. No, no. Jesus'

'You're acting crazy!'

'I proposed to Daisy'

'WAIT WHAT?'

'And we made love'

'Made love?!'

'Sex. Bucky we had sex'

'OH MY GOD STEVE!'

'Shhhhh! Daisy's still asleep!'

Bucky smirks 'You wore her out after your first time? Damn Steve!' He pats Steve on the shoulder and Steve frowns at him.

'Is that why you're acting like a mad man?'

'N-no it's not that it's just, I proposed without a ring'

'Oh? Why does a ring matter? Did Daisy mention it?'

'What? No, it's Daisy. Of course she didn't, but I have to go get her one and I have to go now' Steve was completely beside himself. He was making big hand gestures and shuffling uncontrollably. Like a child on Christmas Eve.

'Steve you can't afford a...'

Before Bucky can finish his sentence Steve opens his hands and a wad of money falls out.

'Steve? What is this?'

'I've been saving every spare penny I could since I was 19'

'Why?' Bucky asks puzzled.

Steve's face turns blush and Bucky looks at Steve with wide eyes.

'You've been saving eight years for this ring? For Daisy?!'

Steve gulps and nods. Realising how ridiculous that sounds.

'Jesus Steve...:'

'Shes all I've ever wanted Buck. That little jewellers downtown, well they have this ring. Simple silver band but. The diamond, my god the diamond Buck, it's small but it's the pollen of a Daisy. And it would match her chain perfectly, and it would sparkle in the light when she puts her hand behind her ear to move a piece of her and it would be stroked with her thumb because she always plays with her fingers when she's anxious and...'

'Go' Bucky says, completely mesmerised.

'W-what?'

'Go get that goddamn ring Rogers'

Bucky pulls Steve into a tight hug. Steve's words bringing a small tear to Bucky's eye but he would never let Steve know that.

'Will you, stay here for me? Until I'm back'

'Like you even have to ask?'

Steve smiles and Bucky smiles back.

Steve stuffs his pockets with the money and practically sprints out the door, but Bucky chases after him.

'Steve!' Bucky shouts out as he grabs his bicycle.

Steve looks up at Bucky and he throws his truck keys at Steve 'Take the truck pal, this is important and the shop shuts in an hour!'

Steve gives another grateful look to Bucky and Bucky bursts with pride before grabbing a beer out of the fridge and watching as the truck drives off.

'You get that ring Rogers...' Bucky mumbles to himself sloppily as he takes a sip of his beer.
