Ophelia hated how April always seemed to be right. Bucky hardly spoke to her for the whole week. She had to find out how he was doing by bribing interns with food and bribing residents with OR time.
"Hi James"
No answer.
"Well, you're just in time for dinner. I ma-"
"Too tired. Just leave some in a Tupperware and I'll have it later", he interrupts, eating some salad before he drags himself upstairs.
"Made lasagna", she mumbles to herself.
"I am Groot", he says, making her jump.
"I forgot you two were there", sighing as she sits down at the dinner table.
"He's right. You are in the dog house", Peter hums, digging into the salad. Ophelia hadn't served the food yet.
"Shut up Peter", stabbing the salad in anger.
"I'm not saying I told you so . . . but I told you so", he smirks.
She huffs and gets up, angrily serving the three of them.
"I am Groot?", he warily asks, seeing that the frown on Ophelia's face was deeper and deeper by the second, muttering to herself and throwing Tupperware on the counter.
"Never you mind, eat your dinner", she snaps, dumping lasagne in the Tupperware and sealing it. Grabbing it and stomping up the stairs, she flings open their bedroom door.
Bucky grunts as the noise disturbs him, and he sits up when she hits the lights. "Philly-", he begins, before he is cut off by her slamming the Tupperware on his bedside table.
"Dinner's served", she spits before she spins to leave.
"What the fuck-" "I can ask you the same fucking thing!"
There is a beat of silence between the two, simmering with anger at each other.
"You've hardly spoken to me all week. This was supposed to be exciting. I was excited for you to come home to me and-and tell me about all the silly little things you did. You were excited to finally be practicing medicine. I was excited to get back to work. I-I thought you would be happy to work with me", her voice slightly cracking at the end.
"You could at least try and pretend to be happy", she mumbles, turning off the lights as she leaves as quickly as she ambushed him.

Ophelia wakes up the next day, hoping to catch Bucky before he left for the morning. Hoping to talk about last night. Unfortunately, she missed him. She pouts slightly, looking at the indent of his shape in the sheets.
Groot was obviously having a lie-in, and Peter was nowhere to be seen. Ophelia sighs as she pulls out her phone, keys in her mouth as she rushes out of the door.

Fanfikce"Come on. Just one day?" Ophelia pleads with him. "You'll embarrass me", Bucky grumbles. He was trying to settle in and make friends, not have a date in his work place. "Breaking my heart over here, Barnes", she sighs, hoping her saddened demeanour...
