“Barnes! Rogers! You need to come with me to Peter’s school.”

“Why?”

I MEAN THIS IS ONLY THE MOST IMPORTANT SHIP OF COURSE I WILL

big spoon/little spoon:  Steve, despite being the physically largest, is an expert at making himself into a little ball, and prefers to be the littlest spoon.  Bucky takes the outside, then Nat, and then Sam.

favorite non-sexual activity:  Movie night.  It is a sacred Wednesday night ritual, broken only in the most dire of situations.  They have even been known to stream movie night in the Hellicarrier or a Quinjet.

who uses all the hot water:  Bucky.  Mostly because when the others found out that HYDRA would only occasionally wash him in ice water, they never had the heart to scold him for enjoying the hot water. 

most trivial thing they fight over:  Milk.  Each one of them always blames the others for finishing it.

who does most of the cleaning:  Bucky finds a lot of comfort in domestic chores, and is often sweeping, dusting or washing, just to relax.

what has a season pass on their dvr/who controls the netflix queue:  They all like similar things, so they din’t fight much about what they want to watch.  Steve loves documentaries, Sam is a sucker for reality television, Nat loves French film, and Bucky drinks up the Expendables franchise and other similar movies.

who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working:  Steve.  The puppy eyes work even over the phone.

who steals the blankets:  Steve, and no one has the heart to complain.

who leaves their stuff around:  Also Steve, and everyone complains.  Especially when the pastels start showing up in peoples’ underwear and sock drawers.

who remembers to buy the milk:  Natasha, though sometimes she buys soy milk just because she’s the only one who likes it.

who remembers anniversaries: All of them, to the point where they make them up just to be cute and unexpected.  (The first foursome anniversary party was a doozy.)

who cooks normally?:  Sam.  He’s always loved cooking, and getting to cook for people he loves feels amazing.

how often do they fight?:  Almost never, save for bickering like any couple.

what do they do when they’re away from each other?:  When not at SHIELD, Sam reads and cooks, Bucky sings and listens to music, Steve paints and draws, and Nat does ballet and gymnastics.

nicknames for each other?:  Everyone calls Steve Stevie.  Bucky gets Yasha, occasionally and only when she’s feeling reminiscent, and Sam is occasionally Falcon Big Butt.  Natasha is just Nat or Tasha.  Or else.

who is more likely to pay for dinner?:  Sam.  He loves spoiling his little family.

what would they get each other for gifts?:  Everyone gets Steve art supplies and history books.  For the others, it’s really about what catches their eye at the time.

who kissed who first?:  Steve and Bucky had been together during the war, and both of them had quickly decided to kiss Sam after Bucky returned to Steve.  Natasha just sort of appeared and everyone loved having her.

who made the first move?:  Totally Steve.

who remembers things?:  Super soldiers and their enhanced memories are a scourge to poor Sam Wilson’s fragile all too human ego

who started the relationship?:  Also Steve.

who cusses more?:  Sam.  Sam swears like a sailor.

Sam can see past who tony used to be and sees him for the man he’s trying to be. And Tony is just confused. Because Sam just sees the goodness in people.

I can see Falcon being gay too and crushing on Tony and seeing Tony’s philanthropy helping kids he knows and being super enthusiastic when he meets him for the first time and tony being flattered but trying to brush it off but he’s happy that

(Winona and Bones later bond over being married to a person who loves morning when they do not.)

The only reason Winona manages to get up for her 8 am exams her first year is because George wakes her up with his mouth.

Aro!Steve thinking that the only difference between friendship-love and romantic-love is sexual attraction because he loves Bucky/Peggy/The Avengers in the same way but has no inclination to have sex with all of them.

Aro!Steve in the 21st century exploring sexuality and thinking he's Bisexual AND Biromantic at first but not coming out because something about it just doesn't fit right, like socks that are a touch too tight.

Ace!Nat coming out to him one day and him nodding along but not really understanding. Nat wondering why he doesn't add it to the list of things to research. Steve explaining that it's because sexuality seems too private for that and he didn't want to disrespect her by googling it.

Nat gently Googling it for him and helping him navigate this whole new world of sexuality. Steve get distracted and clicking into an article on Aromantics and just freezing as he reads it because it fits, oh my god it fits. 

Nat carefully explaining the separation between sexual attraction and romantic attraction.

Steve realizing he's a Bisexual Aromantic and feeling comfortable in his own skin for the first time in so long.

Nat supporting Steve when he chooses to come out to the Avengers. Steve coming out slightly aggressively because he's comfortable with himself but that doesn't mean he's not nervous about how his friends will react.

Steve's defensiveness causing the Avengers to react with stunned silence because some don't understand why sexuality is such a big deal [Thor, someone else? ] and some are just surprised to see Steve so belligerent.

Clint breaking the silence by making some god-awful Aro & Ace pun [because Nat came out to the rest of them before but she still wasn't sure about Steve, wanted more time to gauge his likely reaction].

The tension leaving and all the Avengers making it clear that they have no issue with Steve or his identity.

Clint and Steve commiserating over having to suffer through Tony's terrible Arrow puns because he's using them on both of them now.
