Summary
“Hey, Steve!” Bucky says with what he hopes is a normal level of enthusiasm and not one that makes him sound like a stalker or a serial killer. “Got a delivery for Tony today?”
Steve looks at him and turns on that thousand-watt smile as he scans Bucky up and down. His eyes are a shade of deep blue - cobalt, maybe? - and they’re so beautiful that, frankly, they make Bucky a little angry. His jaw tightens under Steve’s stare.
“Yep,” Steve says, eyes and teeth twinkling. Infuriating. “Just a few folders and a big report printout today.” He pats his messenger bag.
Bucky is about to say something inane like “Great!” or “Cool” or something when...
KATHUNK
The elevator car comes to a sudden and complete stop somewhere around the twenty-fourth floor.

Summary
“So this is where the great artist paints his masterpieces, huh?”
Bucky grins at Steve as they walk into the studio. It’s a decent-sized, shabby room on the second floor of Prentis Hall at Columbia, with big windows taking up the opposite wall and looking out on the warm summer night.
“How do you want me?” Bucky asks, wanting to be helpful and inspiring. He’s never posed for an artist before and he’s pretty stoked, even though he has no idea what to do.
Steve smirks and raises an eyebrow.
“I’ll answer that after our painting session,” he says, teasing, and kisses Bucky again. Then he steps back and arranges Bucky on the chair, angling his body a bit on the diagonal but keeping his head facing the easel.

Summary
So here’s Bucky at Steve’s place for the weekend. Bucky has insisted on doing all the cooking, partly because he loves to cook and partly because Steve can hardly scramble eggs. He’s obsessively planned all their meals for the next two days and has the spreadsheet on his laptop to prove it.
Tomorrow on Christmas they’re having the traditional turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, and cranberry relish, but tonight Bucky is mixing it up and broiling filets mignon with homemade Bearnaise sauce, homemade cheesecake for dessert, and these smoked salmon popovers for appetizers. He’s set up the wine pairings to go with every course, including champagne cocktails for tomorrow’s Christmas brunch. Everything is going to be just perfect.
The holiday Spotify mix playing over the speakers from Bucky’s phone has switched over to Donny Hathaway, so Bucky sings along. “And this Christmas...will be...a very special Christmas...for me...” He’s tempted to open the Riesling and have a glass now, but he wants to wait for Steve.

Summary
Bucky turns the key — the key that Steve gave him as an early Christmas present only a few months ago — in the lock, feeling low and heartsick and disappointed. He’s hungry — he only had a granola bar around dinnertime — and if he had to guess, it’ll be another night on the couch, eating leftovers and watching baking shows. Bucky hasn’t heard from Steve since they talked earlier this afternoon, even though he texted Steve to let him know his ETA, and he has no idea what his boyfriend has been up to. He opens the door and walks into the apartment.
And immediately stops in the little foyer, his mouth open in surprise and amazement.
**in which Bucky has to work late on his birthday, torpedoing his plans, but Steve still manages to give him a night of celebration**
