A Beautiful Morning
Zemo had woken up the next morning, feeling more refreshed than he has in a while, and it feels amazing. Then he had realized. He was in his bed. He was wondering how he had got here. When he came to the conclusion that he had fallen asleep last night and he was carried to his room. 'Why would they do that, they could of just let me stay there' he had wondered, as he flipped over to his other side. he was appreciative though. 10 minutes later, Zemo had decided to get up. he had his royal purple pajamas on, and he put his slippers on. and he started to dander down the hall, when he could smell food being made in the kitchen. so obviously he went to the kitchen. Bucky was standing at the stove frying bacon, soda bread, sausage, egg and potato bread in the frying pan (standard ulster fry lmao). 40's music playing in the background.
'Good morning James' Zemo greeted tiredly as he walked round to stand beside James, then leapt up to sit on the counter. 'Good morning doll' James said. zemos heart was thrumming at the name. Blush spreading across the cheeks. but tried hard to contain his emotions. Buck smiled at this. ' is there anything i can help you with' Zemo asked. 'No we are all finished up here, Sam is just away on his morning run, but he will be back in 5 mins' Bucky replied. so they stayed there in a lovely silence waiting for Sam, Zemo decided to lean on Bucky while he was finishing up the last of the breakfast. 'You okay, you still tired doll' Bucky asked quietly he stood there plating up the last of the food on the plates. leaning his head on the top of Zemos. Zemo replied with a content mumble. Bucky smiled at this.
The were ready to take the food to the table when Sam had walked in. 'Good morning, Damn that looks and smells amazing'' Sam complimented as he sat down. 'you're welcome' Bucky said with a smile on his face. 'wait, you made it, damn never thought that' Sam joked. 'I'm not that bad at cooking, now eat up dolls' Bucky had replied, buck has really been having a go with the sweet names recently. 'Thank you James' Zemo said while starting to eat. 'Thank you buck' Sam said endearingly.
While they all finished up, they done the dishes together and decided to go and watch television, Zemo again, brought over a cover for warmth and comfort. and he was snuggled in it when they were deciding on what to watch, when they decided to watch a star wars movie (The Phantom Menace). Half way through the movie Bucky had felt Someone lean on him, as it was Zemo, Bucky had thought Zemo had fallen asleep again, but to his surprise, Zemo was still awake, just leaning on him. Bucky then decided to rub Zemos back, which gifted him a satisfactory hum, which was music to his ears. Sam (who had rested his legs on Zemos lap, while Zemo had rested his hands on Sam's legs) and Bucky shared a soft look, and both secretly agreed to be more affectionate from now on with Zemo. Though they never really expected him to be affectionate around them. or at all really, but after this whole moving thing, really brought them together. and they would not change this for the world. especially when they get to see an adorable Zemo every day.
They continued watching the phantom menace, with a few giggles once every so often, Sam getting emotional at Qui-gon being killed. And at the end of the movie they stuck on the next one after that. but they were mostly chatting, laughing and planning on going for a walk together later in the evening.
This really was a perfect morning. hopefully everyday would be like this.
