Hello everyone!

This was written for the Stucky flash bingo round in July 2021, card 5 square #1 'Domestic'. I will post 3 out of the 5 squares in this story, as one of the squares (#2) will be posted on its own as a 5+1, and the 5th square is a RR.

This chapter is the shortest.


It was mid afternoon, but the sun was already low in the sky. Now that all their chores for the day were done, they had time to relax. Steve put his bags down and opened their door while Bucky, who had chatted with someone for a minute, caught up with him. Steve took his bags again, got in then held the door open for Bucky with his left foot and let it shut on its own once his partner was inside. They both went to the kitchen and put the groceries on the table. Steve took a step towards the drawers but a metal hand stopped him.

"Stevie let me do this."

"You're sure ?"Steve asked while turning around to face Bucky.

"Yeah. You don't know where to put half of this, let alone the spices."

"That's not true!"

"Last time you put away the entire basket on your own, it took me 10 minutes to find the coriander. I'm not doing this again. I'll handle the groceries, you do the rest."

"Okay", Steve said with a shrug.

He walked past Bucky, kissing him on the temple, then went to the living room. Steve heard the brunet turn on the heat under their already prepared meal, then while his partner put away the groceries, he tidied up their living room.

Bucky called him five minutes later and they ate in comfortable silence.

When they were done, Bucky took care of the dishes while Steve went to the bathroom. He opened the tap of the bathtub, then plugged the drain once the water was warm enough. Humming, he started sorting through their different products, then selected a cherry red bath bomb, which smelled like cherry. For once, the modern world was logical.

As the colours diffused, he put towels on the chair next to the tub. There, all good. Two arms sneaked around his waist, and his back got pushed against a warm and broad chest.

"Heya, punk"
"Heya, jerk"

Bucky kissed the top of his head then took off his shirt. Steve did the same, and soon they were in the water, Bucky nestled in the V of Steve's legs.

"Mundane is nice, sometimes." Bucky said. Then, he turned his head and they locked their lips into a lazy kiss. Yeah, it was nice.
