Prompt - Baking Cookies
The oven timer pings, alerting him that the cookies have finished. Steve sets aside his book and gets out of his chair. He quickly puts his apron back on as he heads into the Kitchen.
He pulls the gingerbread men out of the oven and sets them down on the counter to cool. Eagerly he heads over to the pantry and pulls out the decorations he bought just for this. He wanted to make a gingerbread man for every Avenger, each in their own costume.
He puts all the decorations for the accessories to the side and leaves the icings within arms reach. Carefully he removed the gingerbread men from the backing tray and onto the cool marble of the kitchen counter.
As he was opening a large amount of icing mixture into a mixing bowl, he hears a pointed cough behind him. Steve stops what he is doing and turns to face the man behind him.
"And what, I might ask, are you doing to my poor kitchen, Master Rogers?" Jarvis asks lightly with a small grin.
"Nothing too terrible, I promise" Steve assured, holding his hands up in a mock surrender. "Just some gingerbread men"
Jarvis walked over to the counter and inspects his efforts. The man gives a pointed stare at his pile of decorations.
"I want to make one for each and every Avenger. I needed a fair few things in order to get everyone's outfits" Steve explains himself.
"Might I join you?" Jarvis asks, "I rather enjoy making Gingerbread men"
"Of course" He said, getting back to work on the icing, "I would enjoy the company… and the extra pair of hands"
They work easily together. Jarvis preparing the next batch of gingerbread men and himself working on the decorating. After Jarvis puts the next batch in the oven he returns to the bench to help with the icing.
Steve watches as one of the decorations catch the man's eyes. The little box of bow-ties made of fondant.
"I don't believe many Avengers were ties with their costumes, Master Rogers" Jarvis remarks.
"Just one" Steve says with a soft smile, "and he is as much an Avenger as the rest of us."
Jarvis returns the smile and they get back to work.
End
Notes: I love it when the Avengers say Jarvis is very much an Avenger like the rest of them.
