No, No, It's my treat
Bucky doesn't hate walking around New York like Stevie does. He actually enjoys it. He loves seeing the way people move around and how much better the city is than when they were little.
So, when Tony invited him on a walk with Maria he jumped at the chance. He thinks he might actually be more excited than Maria, if such a thing is even possible.
So, he walks with Tony under the guise of testing his new arm’s effect on balance and they enjoy the sunlight while Maria stares at everything and everyone they pass.
He's shocked that no one has recognized them until Tony explains that sometimes the best place to hide is in plain sight.
Bucky figures he must know something about that since Tony's famous.
“Do you want to stop in and get something to eat?” Tony asks when they pass by a small Italian restaurant.
Bucky nods and they sit and Bucky helps Tony buckle Maria into her child seat. Which, she seems extremely interested in figuring out how to escape from. A quick glance at the menu and both men order.
“We need to keep an eye on her. She can't be allowed to figure out how to get out of these things. They're the only things that keep her in one place, well, besides Levi,” Tony jokes as their food arrives.
“You're telling me. She barely sits still when she is locked in,” Bucky says watching Tony feed Maria some of her carrots.
When their check comes Bucky immediately grabs it, before Tony can.
“What are you doing? I can't pay if I can't see the check,” Tony says.
“No, no. It's my treat. It's the least that I can do after everything you've done for me,” Bucky says with a smile and Tony blushes deeply.
Bucky can't help but smile when Tony agrees.
