Fire starter (Ana X Bucky)

19

(Ana POV) 

I woke up extra early today to make a huge breakfast for everyone. I called everyone letting them know James was back so we are having a family breakfast. Wanda said her and Vision will bring some cinnamon rolls, she had been teaching him how to bake. I just hope they don't taste bad. Last time Vision made Cheddar biscuits that tasted like the cheese was expired. Poor soft stomach Tony got sick after that, and me being the Doctor, I had to deal with his constant complaints.

I was flipping the french toast when I hear someone hum in excitement. I turn around to see James bent over leaning his chest on the island like a hungry child. "Yes James?" I turn back around to place another french toast on the skillet.

"I haven't smelled something this good in months" He sounded happier than he used to. I guess what they did for him really helped.

"Thanks." I turn to see him reaching for the bacon I had just put on the table. I quickly reach over slapping his hand away.

"Wait for everyone else" I smirk at him before grabbing the orange juice out of the fridge pouring it into a glass pitcher filled with ice. I can feel his gaze follow me around the kitchen.

"Alright..if you're going to stare the whole time you're helping." I throw the bag of bread slices at him and point to the toaster. He catches it laughing giving me that smirk I missed so much.

"Ana....BARNES!!!" I hear Wanda go from cheery to annoying in a split second. James looks at her scared for dear life. She ran up to him giving him a hug. He slightly turns his face to me asking in silence 'what is going on'. I shrug holding back laughter. Wanda and James were never close because James and Pietro always fought like children. Her being this happy was strange.

"Welcome back Barnes" Vision says kindly giving him a nod. Vision puts a box on the table opening it to reveal...orange cinnamon rolls? um..they didn't smell the best and I could see burn marks on the edges.

"Oh wow, they look...great" I try to lie through my teeth.

"They do don't they" Wanda says excitedly grabbing a napkin and taking one out. James side eyes me trying not to be rude. Wanda hands him the cinnamon roll. "We made it special for you Barnes, welcome back." She practically shoves it on to his face. He reluctantly takes it looking at me with fear. I honestly had to hold back wanting to topple over on the floor laughing. He took a small bite as Wanda was staring him down. 

With his mouth still full of the food, because I could tell he didn't want to swallow it, he says "mmm, it's...delicious" Wanda keeps looking at him forcing him to swallow it. She grins big turning around to hug Vision.

"See, I told you he would like it" James quickly took the opportunity Wanda wasn't looking, to put the cinnamon roll down turning to the sink to spit out the rest that was in his mouth and rinsing with water. I turn away from Wanda to keep cooking and laugh. James looks to his right to see me cracking up as silently as I can.

He glared at me "Not funny Garcia"

"Oh it's freaking hilarious James" I plate the last french toast and move on to making the eggs. James goes back to collecting the toast from the toaster. Then he grabs plates and starts setting the table.

Steve walks in surprising me from behind by giving me a giant hug. I suddenly feel awkward for being a bit flirty with James. Was I being flirty or friendly? Steve kisses my neck softly moving his hand down my sides to my hips. I can see James shift uncomfortably from the corner of my eye.

"Morning baby" Steve whispers into my ear.

"Morning, sleep good?" He hums and nods.

"You were unbelievable last night. Where did you learn that..?" I quickly shush him looking around. I didn't want James to hear any of that.
