You were? Thanks Buck, you don't have to do that. Alright, I'll be back in a minute, ale's in my room though. I'm just dropping someone off at the train station.
You've never conjured anything with your spoon? You just gotta hold it and think about what you want, as long as you've got enough to buy it. Thought I'd try something small.
he was just surprised. you have to admit, i don't exactly give off the impression of being much of a reader these days. and my wiki article doesn't exactly go into my book collection from back then.
[ bucky, sleeves rolled up his arms and dirt-smudged, looks somewhere between unimpressed and amused at the pet-name for the bike. ]
.. Seriously? [ he crosses toward him, tucking a clover flower in steve's hair just because he can, then folds his arms. ] You've been spending too much time around Stark. Next thing you know, you're gonna' be making friends with a toaster.
[ you know what? sure, why wouldn't the bike run on compliments.
he shrugs. ] I like to keep busy. [ and he's not one fraction as social as steve is. it's funny in a way, how opposite that dynamic is from what it was when they were kids. bucky used to be the one who made friends everywhere he went, while steve seemed pretty satisfied with just bucky. ]
I did some prep, but I haven't started cooking yet.
Oh, maybe we could do that together, have something to eat in case the drink is too strong.
[ It's true that Steve's making a lot of friends now, but as it turns out, making friends when you find yourself somewhere new is a great way to stop thinking so much about home and framing it in a sad sense. ]
Besides, I missed your cooking.
Wait, check this out.
[ He casts prestidigitation, and suddenly his boots aren't dirty anymore and neither are the bike wheels. Sparkly clean. ]
It's definitely gonna' be too strong if actual gods drink it. [ so yeah, they absolutely need to make dinner.
there's a small, slightly embarrassed pause at steve's admission--he guesses he can cook for him at least a couple of nights a week--but thankfully, he doesn't have to address it, since steve takes that moment to show off a spell he's apparently learned.
bucky jumps at the sudden change, but then whistles low and appreciative. ] That's handy. It work on regular laundry, too?
Yes it does. And putting away the dishes. It's amazing.
[ He steps on inside, ducking a little into the door because they lowered the foundation but couldn't really do anything about that, and then does a little dusting with his spell. ]
What are we having?
[ He goes into his room to retrieve the ale, and then to the kitchen to get two cups. ]

[ Heavily, he means. And he's not going to mention that was after he thought Bucky died. ]

[ Steve pulls up into the drive, and there might be something different-feeling. The bike doesn't smell like exhaust. ]
There you go, honey. You're doing great.
[ Is he patting the bike on the handle? ]
I think I'm gonna need to give her a name.

No, it's not that. Henry enchanted my bike. She runs on compliments, now. A whole lot cheaper than gasoline.
[ He claps Bucky on the back. ]
Told you you didn't need to weed my lawn, pal. Did you eat yet?
