#dinner gone wrong

The holiday ham jam

This is powers/no powers. Warning for food talk throughout. No eating or sickness or anything. This is mainly about DoorDash.

“Aw, shit.” Steve drops the Christmas-dinner-in-a-box onto the stove and covers his face with his hands.

“That’s some language,” Bucky says with a laugh. “What’s up with it?” He leaves the sofa and comes to stand at Steve’s side.

“I ordered a turkey.” Steve sighs. “I swear.”

Bucky squints at the label affixed to the aluminum tray.

“I did not order a ham. There must’ve been a mistake.” Steve pulls his phone from his back pocket and opens the app for the delivery service. “See,” he shows Bucky the order receipt. “Turkey.”

“It’s ok,” Bucky says with a shrug. “You can eat the ham. I like mashed potatoes and green beans. Way more than I like matzo balls.”

“It’s all been in the same box, though…” Steve swipes his screen. “I’ll call the restaurant. And the delivery person. This just…” he shakes his head. “Not ok.”

“You know,” Bucky says, putting his hand on Steve’s shoulder, “We don’t have to have a Christmas dinner. Like I didn’t want to fuss with a Hanukkah dinner?”

“What do you want to do?” Steve asks. His thumb hovers above the phone number listed in the app.

“Order Chinese.” Bucky gives a sly smile. “That’s a thing, right?”

“Yeah,” Steve says slowly. “I guess it is kind of a thing.”

Bucky takes Steve’s phone and launches a new search. “Cashew chicken?” he offers. “Mongolian beef?”

“That sounds pretty good.” Steve finally smiles back. “Go for it.”

Bucky selects a restaurant and adds a few dishes to the order. “Delivery in…45 minutes?”

“Sounds good,” Steve laughs. “This dinner thing is way too complicated.”

“We’ll make it easy.” Bucky hits the button to lock in the order. “New tradition, ok? Only Chinese for holidays. All the holidays.”

“Sold.” Steve nods. “I can definitely live with that.”

“I wish the kids would ASK me for help making dinner.”

“I don’t want to brag, but my lasagna is legendary.”

What if Aziraphale was waving his arms around during the kiss because he lost his balance? You really should warn a person before just storming over, swiveling them around, and slamming your faces together.

[life-is-lifeing-hard]

life lifes hard when your birthday aligns with the busiest days of the school year that celebrating feels really awkward and time-consuming. Your friends would like to, but they're also busy so you have to figure out how to mention it. Your family drags it out for too long that you end up being irritated about the 5 full assignments due in 3 hours. You get weirdly existential but you can't mention it to anyone, really, so you're feeling all that as you go through the day.

Then life lifes harder when you look back to see the fading magic of your birthday from your childhood. You wish it to return, really.
