Can you do a headcanon expanding on bucky being a really good cook like in that *cough* amazingficcalledmyeyes -bonus points if his gf is a vegetarian 🌱

invisibleanonymousmonsters:

– It had been made very clear early on that Bucky would be doing all of the cooking in your relationship

– And to be honest, you really didn’t mind

– Bucky was an amazing cook

– He and Steve always said how bad the food was back in the day compared to now

– There was no flavor or experimenting. No influences from other cultures or countries like now

– Bucky got sucked into the Food Network

– Then you showed him Pinterest and said how there were millions of food bloggers that shared their own recipes

– He kissed you because he was so excited about all the new recipes he could try

– While Steve got creative with drawing & painting, Bucky got creative in the kitchen

– Cooking was the perfect mixture of science and artistry

– And we all know that Bucky was a total science dork back in the day

– You got him a nice, vintage apron that you saw hipster baristas wearing

– Bucky looked so handsome in it with his hair in a bun

– You had to convince him to pull his hair back after he kept getting annoyed with it getting in his way

– At the beginning, you tried to be his sous chef

– That turned out to be a mistake

– “Y/N! You have to level out the measurement before you pour it in!”

– “I did what it said! One cup! A few sprinkles of flour isn’t going to make a difference, Buck.”

– With one look from him, you knew that you were messing with his hobby

– Plus, it was well-known amongst the Avengers that you had no practice is cooking

– But Bucky still loved having you in the kitchen when he cooked/baked

– You were usually sitting at the counter with either a cup of coffee or wine in your hand (depending on the time of day)

– He would ask you to put music on or say he needed a kiss for inspiration

– Sometimes you would just be quietly reading as he fluttered about the kitchen

– Bucky would ask you to try things and get your opinion

– He said you were “the most beautiful taste-tester a chef could ever have in their kitchen”

– His favorite person to cook for was obviously you

– “Bucky, you’re going to make me obese soon.” You complained. It was impossible to stop eating his food. And the kicked-puppy look he gave you when you refused something always broke your heart.

– “You’ll be beautiful no matter what size you are… so I don’t care.” He’d reply with a smirk.

– Eventually, you got fed up with being so helpless and asked Bucky to teach you a few things

– You knew you’d never be as talented as him in the kitchen. But you wanted to have a few tricks up your sleeve

– Your lessons always ended up becoming aggressive makeout sessions… sometimes more 😉

– For special occasions, Bucky always woke you up with breakfast in bed

– When Bucky couldn’t sleep because of nightmares, or just general insomnia, he would bake pastries for the team so they could wake up and have them for breakfast

– It also got his mind off of his nightmares

– When you asked him why he enjoyed cooking so much, he said, “It feels good to have something that has a definite beginning and end.” Then his eyes filled with love and he had a soft smile. “And it’s nice to see the people you love enjoying something you made.” He finished with a sweet kiss on your lips.

– You realize that most of Bucky’s history was filled with destroying. Cooking was filled with making.

– It made you happy to see Bucky find a hobby that relaxed him and brought him so much joy
