James and Cookies, Sarah and Cream

((I wanted to see more Sarahxbucky content so I decided to try and write something, tried my best! <3))

The sun is a bright ball in the sky and the cool breeze off the water is a contrast to the party that’s picking up at the dock. The whole community was out in support of Sam as Captain America and the energy, food and drink they brought made it feel like it was the Fourth of July.

Bucky pulls up to the old Wilson house, a comfortable at home feeling, rising in his chest as he remembers the last time he was there. He knocks on the open outside door, Speaking through the dusty screen one. “Anybody home?”

He lazily slips out of his shoes, nudging them with his foot out of the way and heads for the kitchen, the sound of laughter and lively party music fading slightly into the background. He cradles a store-bought cookies and cream cake in hand, that Sam had adamantly pushed for over text as Bucky was driving into town.

“Get the one with the full cookies on top man, that’s the jam, not that one with the flakes.” He huffed at him being so particular. Bucky wanted to mess with Sam and get a cheap cake hand scrawled on it “Little Samuels Big Day” maybe he would unceremoniously launch it in his face. The idea made him chuckle, but last minute he decided not to.

In the kitchen, Sarah is moving quickly but not rushing, taking extra food and desserts she’d prepared for the party out of the fridge. Bucky leans against the island counter just to watch her. The windows are open and light is pouring in over her as she works. she looks beautiful, he thinks to himself, her hair splaying over her back and shoulders, her lashes fluttering and her brows furrowing as she wrestles with teetering aluminum pans.

“I hope you took your shoes off, I’m not sweeping up dirt later,” she says plainly.

“I remembered this time”, he says, jokingly complaining at her. She turns around quickly at his voice and gives him a girlish smile, stoping for a moment before placing a tray of banana pudding in front of him.

she gives him a quick hug. She smells amazing, like flowers and a hint of wood smoke.

“Hey Bucky, when did you get here?”

“Just now, Im late, sorry about that.” He squints and rubs the back of his head, embarrassed.

“It was hard to find this cake here” tapping the plastic top with his hand.

“It wasn’t hard, im lying, I’m just late.” He huffed, rubbing his hands over the smooth counter.

“Don’t worry about it, you’re not the first late person, everything is slower around here.” her smile tinged a little in nervousness as she locks eyes with him.

Moving her hair out of her face, Sarah looks down at it with curiosity.

and it stirs her into giggle that makes Bucky face hot.

“What, is it bad?”

Sarah straightened up again, putting her hand on her hip and cocking her head to the side.

“How did you know I liked cookies and cream?

“What?” He chuckled.

“Sam made me get it. I thought it was for him?”

“No it’s my favorite”, taking two forks from a drawer, “Sam likes plain cake with no icing, like a weirdo. He has since we were kids.”

“Huh, well, I know now.” he said, smiling sillily. He crinkled and popped the plastic off of the cake as she handed him a fork.

“What about all this stuff you made?,” pointing at the trays of food dotted around the kitchen.

“I make food all the time for the community and the leftovers become breakfast lunch and dinner for weeks,”

She take a generous fork of cake as she talks and happily slides the fork passed her teeth into her mouth. Bucky watches her for a moment taking In her expression, trying not to show any reaction but he knows his ears are red.

“You know what, I tend to get a little tired of my own cooking sometimes.”

“I’d love to try your cooking Sarah, it looks delicious, it smells amazing, a home cooked meal is hard to come by for me, I know I could eat it all.” he says, taking his jacket off and patting his stomach.

“Oh really?”

This time she cracks a cheesy grin, wiping the corners of her mouth with a napkin.

“You don’t look like you’d ever eat anything fattening in your life.” his shirt hugged him well and every part of him was muscular. Bucky had a super heroes body

“Exactly, it’s why I’ll go to town Sarah, I’m serious. He rests his forearms on the counter and stares at her under his brow.

She laughs at his silly behavior. “Im flattered Bucky, do you want savory or sweet?” He know it’s just a question but the way she looks at him with her eyes make it seem like theirs hidden subtext behind it.

“call me James. I’ll take sweet if it’s as sweet as you Sarah.”

“Pfft Stop.”

they’re both feeling giddy like teenagers on summer break, it’s fun to flirt with each other. They both are getting a chance to relax today and their making the most of the banter and sunshine.

Sarah takes a scoop of her banana pudding and tries to hand it off to him.

Bucky leans over the island and opens his mouth.

“Feed it to me.”

“Are you serious?” Sarah giggles, stepping towards him with the spoon. he happily accepts it drumming his flesh hand on the counter. He eats it happily and make small sounds of approval as he tastes it.

“Sarah...” he mumbles.

If blush could show in Sarah’s face it would be hugely noticeable, the apples of her cheeks were round and her eyes were cheerful.

Just then the screen door closes and they both look over startled. It’s Sam and the boys bouncing around gleefully. Sam is the first in, he looks sweaty and tired from being out in the sun. He clocks Sarah’s hand leaving the spoon thats in Buckys mouth.

Embarrassed, Sarah reverts to her script

Of taking your shoes off and she fumbles over to the cabinet pretending to look for spices she needs.

“Wow!” Sam exaggeratedly crosses his arms over his chest, looking back and forth at Bucky and his sister. “I leave for one second and you guys are making out? Wooow!” Bucky rubs his hand over his face and neck, clearly caught off guard by Sams chiding. From the other room they hear Aj and Cass boyishly yell “EWW!” In unison. Sarah rushes over to him and punches him in the shoulder, “shut up, Sam!”

“What I’m joking!?” Sam looks over to Bucky who still looks a bit uncomfortable. “Hey man, glad you could make it.” With a fake scowl he taps him on the chest.

“I see you got the cake? did you make googly eyes and feed it to her too?”

“I didn’t feed it to her I did make googly eyes though,” Bucky exclaims his eyes squinting and his mouth pulling into a half smile half smirk, he puts his hands in his pockets and rocks on his heels.

“Huh?”

with that Sarah claps over Sams talking as he makes more jokes laughing aloud at them.

“Alright guys! Out of my kitchen! take a food tray to the tables with you!”

Sam protests as Sarah pushes him but he complies as their rushed out the door. “You too boys follow your uncle.”

Bucky is the last out and he turns to her grinning.

“Come sit with me when you’re done Sarah?”

They smile at each other for a moment, standing close.

“Okay James, I will.” She gives him an innocent peck on the cheek before pushing him out the door.
