1940's Grinch of Christmas

This here is quite the fun post hehe. All the different pieces of slang are from the 1940′s era roughly and will be translated at the bottom of the story, have fun reading! <3

Christmas time was inching its way closer every day, some were excited to be singing carols and drinking warm drinks that send a feeling of comfort through their bodies... others not so much. As the weather got colder in New York it seemed the more Bucky flipped his wig about the colder weather and anything else the fella could complain about

Of course, the colder weather did come with quite a few good qualities... such as being able to steal sweatshirts from said metal-armed man and be warm. That's what Y/n tended to do, always stealing the sweatshirts from the ex-skirt chaser, but it seemed while she was in a good mood about the upcoming holiday Bucky was quite the opposite

So of course what better idea was there then to get dear-ol'-Wonder Boy involved in a plan to help the resident Grinch of Christmas...

It was supposed to be a normal winter day at the Tower, possibly a few movies playing on the tv later on when the duo decided to walk in and cause mayhem... No, it was not Sam and Bucky, but instead, Y/n and Steve casually talking when Bucky heard the conversation

"What's buzzin', cousin?" Okay.. that was weird coming from the blond-haired man. "Um, I was just heading towards.. the kitchen, want anything?"

"No thanks, buck," If only he could have predicted what his lovely girlfriend was going to say next, "Speaking of the kitchen, next time we go on a run to the store we 'otta grab some more hen fruit." Dear ol' Barnes nearly dropped the glass the peacefully rested against his palm when he heard those words come outta her mouth

The two nearly cracked up watching the man's expression as he heard them continue their conversation. He's probably just hearing things, right?

It became later in the day when he heard the words once more. Peter had come by the tower to help with the decorations, acting all giddy and excited when the words came out

"Ya know Parker, you seem like quite the eager beaver 'bout all this Christmas stuff; maybe you could teach bucky over there a few tricks." All Bucky had been doing was trying to peacefully watch a movie that showed up, it was about magic and apparently extremely sad at some point so Y/n refused to watch it with him and instead chose to chat with the teen boy as they set up some tinsel around the place

Noticing the man with the messy bun slightly shift at the usage of her wording she decided to say something else to make his brain rattle slightly, "Relax, I'm just bustin' your chops Bucky"

Something was definitely going on in this tower... He is not imagining hearing anything either

"I swear Sam something's going on and I can't figure it out"

For once the pair wasn't pulling each other's legs but instead merely talking while playing a card game at the table, "Either I'm going cockeyed or Y/n and Steve are in cahoots with each other"

"You're just hearing things, man. Got any 3's, hey steve" As bucky simply muttered a 'no,' shuffling his cards a bit, Sam raised his head slightly giving Steve a nod of acknowledgment.
