"Can we order McDonald's?"
"Oh, I just knew you were going to ask that."
"Can we?"
"How often did you order takeaway while I was gone?"
"Never."
"Yeah, right" Bucky scoffed.
"I swear, I didn't. I just ate the food we had at home. I didn't even go shopping. Look in the fridge, it's almost empty."
Bucky did so. "Oh so now I have to go shopping" he laughed and closed the fridge door again. "But I'm impressed. And mildly surprised you listened to me for once."
"Mhm. And I didn't invite any friends over. Because you told me not to. I did go and stay at Peter's last Friday, but I was at home on my own for the rest of the time. I didn't break any rules."
"Good girl."
"So can we have McDonald's?"
"Not tonight. I'm cooking."
"Aw" you moaned disappointedly.
"What's wrong with my cooking?"
"It's not McDonald's. Will you at least make chicken nuggets and chips?"
"No, it'll be a proper meal. Some sort of roast with vegetables."
"Why?" you whined.
"Because I thought it would be nice. Plus, I invited someone round and chicken nuggets and chips isn't the kind of thing that you serve guests."
"What are you talking about? Peter loves it!"
"Well too bad Peter's not coming over."
"Aw."
"Don't worry. I called May earlier to tell her I'm home and she offered to have us over for dinner tomorrow night."
"Yeah but it's not like she's gonna cook chicken nuggets and chips" you frowned.
"Stop moaning. We'll have McDonald's on Sunday. Now, I need to go to the store. Do you wanna come and pick dessert?"
"Absolutely!"

You were making the gravy when Bucky's guest arrived for dinner. He took the stuffing out the oven then went to open the door. You stood in the doorway of the kitchen, looking out into the living room and watching Bucky go to the door. He opened it.
"Hi doll-"
"Natasha!" you ran over and hugged her.
"Hey y/n/n" she hugged you for a moment. Then you stepped back, and she asked "How've you been?"
"Good" you grinned.
"Great."
You looked up at Bucky standing next to you. He looked confused.
"And when did you two get so close?"
"Um... Tuesday" you said.
"A little bit of Wednesday" Nat added.
"Did she call you?"
"No, she called Steve and he asked me to come."
Bucky realised something and frowned at you. "You said you didn't have any friends over."
"I said I didn't invite anyone over. Steve just showed up."
"Why did you call him?"
"Because I wanted to know if you were with him" you mumbled.
