Deleted Scene from As Stable As Water

Bucky frowned, the sketches looked familiar until he realized Steve was sketching the class live. He had a doodle of Sam as the kid sat forward and focused on building a paper airplane. And a drawing of Coulson lecturing about technology rules or whatever. Then there was a sketch of two other random kids Bucky didn’t know the name of. And finally, a sketch of himself.

His chin was resting in his right hand and his pencil was in his left as he gazed into something off the page. Bucky felt his face flush at how pretty Steve had captured him. He knew he didn’t look that good but he couldn’t ignore how his stomach fluttered. 

Steve smiled when he saw Bucky observing his drawings. “What do ya’ think?” he murmured, tapping the sketch with his eraser a few times. “I think I need to fix the eyes but otherwise…”

Bucky blushed, “I think it looks really good,” he murmured. Better than the real thing he wanted to add. 

Steve grinned at the praise. “Thanks, Buck. I love drawing people, it’s good practice to just sketch around me,” he shrugged. “And you make a really great model.”

Bucky bit his lip. Was Steve flirting with him? Was that just normal talk? God, Bucky was horrible at conversations and social skills. 

“Alright, so now that we have that covered, it’s time to pair up for the project,” Coulson announced, making Bucky’s head shoot up. What project? Fuck, he should’ve been paying more attention to class.

“Three people per group. The rubric is on the classroom. I expect everybody from the group to be able to answer any question regardless of what slides you did. This is a group project, not a divvy everything up and learn only a third of the material project. You may pick your own groups.”

Everybody let out a chorus of ‘oh thank god’ and ‘yesss’ at that. Bucky was relieved too because he hated working in group projects with strangers. It was impossible to organize. 

“Well, looks like we’ll be partners, right?” Steve asked Bucky. 

“Yeah, we just need one more. Can Sam join us?”

“Sure,” Steve said brightly as Sam moved his chair to their table. “What topic are we going to choose?”

Sam scrolled around on the textbook on his chromebook. “I don’t know man, there’s a ton of shit about World War II.”

“We could do a presentation on the advertisements and propaganda?” Bucky suggested. He always found the old posters fascinating.

“Yeah! That would be super fun,” Steve smiled.

This scene was deleted because it felt out of place and a bit out of character but I thought I'd share it with you guys anyway just to enjoy! I'm working on Chapter 7 so that ought to be done soon too. :)

As Stable As Water (Fanfic)

It’s the summer before his senior year and Bucky’s relationship with his boyfriend, Brock Rumlow, and his mental health are both spiraling out of his control. It doesn’t help that college is looming in the distance and his family is getting more and more concerned for him. Bucky is convinced his mind is careening downhill and nobody can save him. But in the midst of his internal storm, Steve Rogers moves into the neighborhood and the two of them click immediately. Maybe Bucky isn’t quite as alone as he once thought.

I made some fan art for my own fanfic! Please do check It out and if you enjoy it, you may like my other fic, You Watched Me Burn, as well :D
