[ They're close, thanks to the wrestling and to Merlin sitting up. They're barely inches away. And Steve misjudged and didn't move away. He should have. He knows he should have.
His mind is a fog right now. He was in attack mode and then his mind got to Bucky and. Then he's within inches of Merlin's face. And it's so obvious what his gut is telling him to do. It's so clear what he wants. He doesn't think. He just does. Caught up in the heat of the moment and the confusion. He presses his lips to Merlin's. For an instant, it's the best thing that could have ever happened to him. It feels right. Really right.
And then the guilt sets in. He should have asked. He should have thought. He shouldn't be wanting to kiss a man period. He breaks the kiss and is breathless for the first time the whole fight. ]

Sorry I--.
