Avengers oneshots (Mostly SamBucky)

A little crush

*SamBucky arguing and being SamBucky in general*

Bucky wanted to invite the Wilsons over to his new apartment for his birthday. He bought this place so he could be near the Wilsons.

He didn't think he could afford to buy anything, but the Flagsmashers had a bounty placed on them. Despite Sam and Bucky not wanting any of it, Walker pulled some strings and made sure they got paid. Bucky still hated Walker, more so because this was the second favor that lunatic did for him and Bucky knew it couldn't be good. But he couldn't deny that the day they helped in arresting the Flagsmashers, Walker seemed less crazy.

Whatever, he had a place now and he was happy. But he didn't know how to cook. He hadn't cooked in a long time and he couldn't feed box food to his guests. Reluctantly, he called Sam.

"Sam, I want to invite Sarah and kids for dinner today. And you too. But I don't know how to cook and you do, so help me out."

"You don't need to cook. I'd rather not have food poisoning."

"That's why I am calling you. Stop being an asshole and help me out."

"Fine. What do you wanna make?"

"I don't know, what do you think?"

"What do you have in the fridge that we can use?"

"Uh, some frozen peas, frozen tomatoes. And a carton of milk. A few plums. Oh wait, I also have one egg."

Sam sighed."That means I have to go shopping. I have one off day after an entire month and now I need to work again!"

"Fine don't come over, whatever."

Bucky cut the call. He didn't want to ruin Sam's day off. He didn't know what to do.

Sam couldn't understand why Bucky got so mad. He was just joking. Of course he would help that idiot. It was his birthday after all. Oh, maybe that's why.

Bucky knew that Sam would show up. He was that kind of guy to tell you that he hates you but then break laws for you. This is probably the one legal request Bucky made to him.

About an hour and half later, someone rang Bucky's doorbell. Of course it was Sam. And of course he bought the entire grocery store.

"Sam, it's just 5 of us. What did you even buy?"

Sam ignored him and handed him the grocery bag and heaved a sigh of relief. Damn, those bags were heavy. But of course they weighed nothing to Bucky because for some bizarre reason he was holding them and staring at Sam.

"Just get the rest of the bags, man."

Rolling his eyes, Bucky got to the car. Why Sam bought all that stuff was beyond Bucky. Why were there so many utensils? Who needs all that cutlery?!

After bringing all the bags inside, Bucky asked Sam again.

"Sam, what the fuck? And how did you even buy all this stuff so fast?!"

"I was already in the store when you called. You didn't think I forgot your birthday, did you?"

Bucky shrugged. "I didn't think you even knew."

"You do realise that there's a whole ass wikipedia page dedicated to you, right?"

"Who do you think wrote it?"

"Not you. Definitely not you. That page popped up around 2016-2017. You definitely weren't using the internet then."

"Yeah yeah. But I edited it. So yeah, I did something."

Sam rolled his eyes. One day his eyes would get stuck in the back of his head with the amount of eyerolling he was doing. He sprawled out on the couch and waited for Bucky to say what he wanted to make.

"You want a cookie?"

"Sure."

Bucky walked into the kitchen and pulled out a box from the cupboard. He handed one to Sam. Sam's eyes widened as he saw the cookie.

"You got Pattie's double layer chocolate chip cookies?! How? She only lets the kids have it. How'd you get it?"

Bucky smirked. "I have my ways."

Sam narrowed his eyes at the supersoldier. "Bucky..."

"I might have given her a kiss..."

"You, what now?"

"Pattie has a crush on me. She told me I could have those cookies if I gave her a kiss."

"You manwhore!"

Bucky grinned. "Only for the cookies. Though I did get these popsicles too. Hold on."

Bucky went to his kitchen again and pulled out another box from the fridge. He pulled out two popsicles and handed one to Sam.

Sam burst out laughing when he saw the flavour. "She made you the chocolate vanilla twin flavour one?"

Bucky chuckled. "Yeah and honestly, I didn't know if I should have felt uncomfortable or laughed. The funniest part was that, Duke was there and he kept apologizing for his mom and it was just ridiculous."

"Why was he apologizing though?"

"Cause Pattie was demonstrating the correct way of having a popsicle."

Sam did a double take.

"What?! Jesus, who knew grandma Pattie had all this in her. She's like what 70!"

"Hey! Don't age shame the poor kid. She just has a little crush."

"Oh yeah, I forgot how old you are, grandpa Barnes."

Bucky grabbed the nearest thing and chucked it at Sam. It was the water bottle he'd been drinking from right before Sam showed up. He had forgotten to close the lid. The water spilled over Sam.

"Come on, man! What was that for?"

"Not my fault that you have bad reflexes."

"I had a popsicle in my hand. How the hell was I going to be able to hold that?"

"With your other hand."

Bucky wasn't exactly wrong. And that asshole probably would have caught it. But Sam can't just switch from laughing his ass off to flying object grabber mode!

Annoyed, Sam threw the half eaten popsicle at Bucky, who caught it very easily. Show off. Huffing, Sam took his soaking wet shirt off and tried to put it on the couch.

"Hell no. Get your ass up and put it in the dryer."

Sam got up and put the shirt in the dryer and when he returned, he saw
Bucky happily sucking on the popsicle in his right hand.
