bakerstreet | You can pry all these adorable, exploratory, slightly awkward first times out of my cold, dead hands

A Meme of FIRSTS!

You're in right smack in the middle of exciting times, perhaps even the peak of your life so far, and you're not alone. For you and your companion, it's all about firsts: first crush, first love, first fight, first confession, first kiss, first time, first adventure to certain death together - you know, as you do. There is a first time for everything, after all, and they say you never forget your first.

So...first?

WHAT DO?

It's what it says on the tin.
Your character can be at the right place and time for all these firsts, you can age them down, they're starting late, they never had the chance, it's an AU I DON'T EVEN CARE just play.

Prompts are amalgamations of many, many different memes.

First Kiss: Is there anything sweeter?

First Date: Are you super awkward and nervous or getting on like a house on fire?

First Meeting: Dropped your groceries? Bump into them on the subway? Party? Fender bender? The options are endless!

First Anniversary: You've made it an entire year without killing one another! Time to break open the bubbly.

First Pet: Dog or cat? Fish tank? Rhinoceros?

First House: Apartment in the city, or perfect white picket fenced home! Either way, better make the best of it.

What is this...Love Thing?: I don't understand love. What is love, baby don't hurt me ---

Love at First Sight...or, at least, Interest: Hey little mama, let me holla at you.

Gradual: Your interest in this person is growing after getting to know them.

Excitement and FREAKING OUT: Oh my gosh, there's absolutely nothing you'd rather do than spend time with this person you want everything to be perfect oh gosh oh gosh.

Hormonal: Girls are so weird but they look so nice.

Sloppy Makeouts: Put on "Stairway to Heaven" and go to town.

Arguments: You jerk! Look what you've done! I never want to see you again.

School Romance: Oh, I hope senpai notices me...or the cute class president, or the head of cooking club, or -

You're Like Family to Me: The two of you have been close forever, so you've never seen each other like that...until now.

Unlucky Friend: You lost the person of your dreams to someone else, perhaps because of their allure or perhaps because you never spoke up. What can you do now?

I'll Cheer You On: Always supportive, always by your side, they're the person you can count on. Why do they care so much, though?

Slap-Slap-Kiss: I could kill you for what you just did! I could - I could KISS YOU.

Confession in the Heat of the Moment: You're about to go defeat the ultimate baddie. How about confessing your feelings to the person you love? Seems legit.

Sudden Kiss: Kiss from nowhere! There are lots of reasons for this: to stop someone from crying, to make them be quiet, or just to explain yourself when words can't.

First Time: A little awkward, a little exciting, always memorable. ( Unless you had to get drunk to get up the nerve.)

Hey, Can We Try...: You've been together, or at least doing it, for awhile, but one of you wants to try something new.

Childhood Sweethearts: You've loved them what seems like forever, ever since you were little.

Wedding Night: Have fun, newlyweds! Maybe one of you cut off the sex a couple months ago, just for tonight to be extra special.

With Nature: In a forest or a field, how could you not be happy with the sun or moon shining down and the beauty of nature around you?

Waking Up: Fluffy, sleepy, giggly morning sex.

Protected/Safe: You always feel safe with them. How can you thank them?

Christmas hadn't ever been a huge deal for Steve and Bucky, they'd always done what they could to make their apartment festive, usually they had a branch at least that they could sprinkle with tinsel and hang a paper star on, and while Sarah had been alive, she'd made sure they each got an orange and usually a batch of cookies when she was up to it. They always managed to get each other a gift, usually something useful, or a replacement for something that had broken.

But this was going to be their first Christmas since ...well since everything, and Steve wasn't sure how to go about it, not really, which was why he had been surprised by Sam showing up at the safehouse the day before with a real tree -a small one, to be sure, but real- and a box of ornaments that his sisters and their kids had curated, some of them homemade, some found at the dollar store, some from their own family collections that the kids thought Steve and Bucky needed, almost more than enough of them to fit on the tree.

Stockings had shown up a couple of days prior by way of either Natasha or Clint, as they'd both been there, and Steve was sure -though he didn't have proof- that it was also Sam's doing that they were both filled with oranges, chocolate, and a hefty peppermint stick each.

Mostly Steve was surprised that thanks to the friends they had, the safehouse was not only fully-stocked for a few days, but festively so at that. They'd all stopped by in ones and twos over the past few days, always leaving something behind when they did, mostly food, but not entirely, Clint had dropped off a stack of Christmas movies, and Natasha had left a new coffee maker and dishes, apparently appalled by the fact that Steve was mostly using paper plates.
