right now steve's sitting cross legged on the couch, with bucky's head in his lap. this morning he noticed bucky was dealing with a migraine, so steve offered to massage his scalp & hair with some coconut oil to relieve the pain like his ma used to do when him & bucky were kids.
right now steve's unwrapping a few birthday gifts from his friends. paint brushes from bucky, paired with a norwegian paint set from thor. a nice watch from natasha & vintage record player from sam. steve doesn't have the words to describe how much these gifts mean to him.

right now steve's arguing that ultimate frisbee should be an official olympic sport. sam reminds him that steve competing at the olympics wouldn't be fair since he's an enhanced human being. steve slouches against the couch, scowling. he doesn't care, he wants a gold medal.
right now steve is handing out valentine's day goodie bags to his art class. he was up late last night making these for his kindergarteners. inside each bag is a hand-painted card, some heart-shaped chocolates, and a personalized note on what makes each student a great artist.
right now steve's scrubbing dried pancake mix off the kitchen ceiling. he made the mistake of letting bucky make breakfast this morning. the kitchen is a mess. bucky is a mess. and there's batter in every nook & corner. steve bans bucky from the kitchen for the rest of the day.
right now steve's dozing off underneath a giant oak tree. after spending all morning inside the house, he decided to finish reading his book outside in the fresh air. steve doesn't even stir when a curious squirrel starts nibbling on the pages of his book.
right now steve's busy typing up a report on his laptop. too engrossed in his work, he doesn't notice a tennis ball rolling around his feet until lucky let's out a small bark grabbing his attention. steve stretches, rubs lucky's head, grabs a coat and heads outside to play catch.
right now steve's watching saturday morning cartoons with sam's nephews. the boys are spending the weekend with their uncle, & sam's been cooking extravagant meals to impress the kids. so when sam calls out telling them breakfast is ready, steve races aj & cass to the kitchen.

right now steve's in the living room, playing a card game with bucky, natasha and sam. they're trying to pass the time, waiting for the clock to strike midnight. there's no place steve rather be tonight to ring in the new year.
right now steve's watching the polar express with his art class. his kindergarteners are all tried from their class christmas party, so steve decided a movie would be good to get the sugar out from their systems before their parents come pick them up.
right now steve's up on the roof, trying to set up christmas lights. he almost slips when he hears bucky's voice from the ground, shouting for him to get down before he breaks his bones. before steve can even reply, bucky's already climbing up the ladder to bring him down.
