Context: An AU where Bucky's an ex-Avenger who also happens to be your husband. Bucky and Tony aren't exactly on good terms, so he can't help out.

You get off work early today, and you can't thank your boss enough for letting you go. You walk to the parking lot with a spring in your step, unable to wait for the day that's ahead of you. You both didn't plan anything, but lazing the day away with Bucky is always nice.

You arrive home soon after, practically bouncing to the front door. When you reach the door, you think of what you should get Bucky for brunch because God knows that man wakes up at noon.

Instead, though, much to your surprise, you're greeted by the smell of pizza as soon as you walk into the living room.

"What the hell?" you whisper underneath your breath. Bucky never cooks and there's no way a delivered pizza can smell this good. Besides, you two don't exactly have the money for delivered pizza.

You walk into the kitchen and see your husband. Hair up in a man bun and wearing your apron, he turns towards you once he feels your presence.

"Hey, doll," he greets, walking up to you and placing a lazy kiss on your lips. "Missed you."

"Missed you, too," you tell him, smiling. "What's all this?" you ask, gesturing to your surroundings.

Various types of ingredients are on the counter, with a bowl of pepperonis

And there's some sort of post-it note on the microwave, and you walk to it to get a closer look.

"It's a game I set up," Bucky explains, not taking his eyes off the dough he's kneading.

"What's the occasion?"

"Nothing, really. I mean, you'll have to find out," he says, looking at you and giving you a wink.

You laugh lightly and peck him on the cheek, and then begin your journey.

'Where was our first date?' you read his unusually neat handwriting on the paper on the handle of the fridge.

The answer's obvious. The museum.

"Am I supposed to go to the museum?" you ask, confused.

"Course not," he laughs,"look for something you bought there."

You remember clearly that you didn't end up buying anything because everything was too expensive for your liking, but there has to be something.

Right. A Captain America pin (because you couldn't find a Winter Soldier one).

You rush to your room and open your nightstand, and sure enough, there's another note, but this time there's a little smiley face with sunglasses on at the bottom of the page.

'Don't forget to bring _______!'

You notice now that there's a little doodle of a seashell next to the smiley face, and you know where to go to next.

You open a small drawer in your bathroom, finding the sunscreen and sure enough, the note posted (weirdly) on a cookie placed beside it.

'You smart lil' cookie you. (Did I say it right?) Here's an actual cookie.'

Picking up the cookie, you find another, much smaller note.
