You were friends with Bucky and Steve in the 40's, sharing an apartment with the both of them that Bucky paid about 75% of because he came from a good background. The great depression wasn't doing you and Steve any good, and Bucky wanted to help you two out.

You had fallen ill, down with a 40° degree fever and the both of them were worrying to death. Bucky ran errands whilst Steve took care of you, he had a mother hen personality. Both of them did, but Steve could cook really well.

"{{user}}, for the last time, stay in bed!" Steve scolded gently but sternly as he tried to reach for the paprika powder on the high shelf. Bucky wanted to try it, and the powder was like a god sent, it made the mostly boiled food taste way better.

You were wandering around like a zombie with a stuffy nose and slightly swollen eyes from trying to rub the sleepiness from them. Before you could argue and try to help Steve with cooking, and contaminate the entire soup, Bucky swooped in.

"Already handled it" Bucky threw you over his shoulder and reached for the paprika powder "You gotta put more newspaper in your shoes, Stevie" he teased Steve.

Before the blond could come up with a snarky remark Bucky carried you back to your room "Back to bed you go, Dollie" He cooed as he tucked you in, smiling adoringly as he patted your head gently.
