“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.”
