eleven ✪ video
[Filtered away from Steve & Ben]
[Bucky seems physically fine when he clicks on the video feed. Port had been a couple different kinds of hell, but he's had to be uncomfortably familiar with different kinds of hell and so it's more or less easy to just push everything back and keep soldiering on.
Even if there's something a tiny bit distant or strained in the smile he flashes the camera, he's clearly in the mood to poke a little fun at his best friend while doing something quasi constructive and nice for him, because God knows it's been a while since they've actually done something for either of their birthdays. There's a war on, you know.]
So if the calendar's right, Steve's turning ninety six on Friday. Which is the Fourth of July. [Yeah, that's right, Captain America was literally born on Independence Day, how's that for coincidences? Or destiny or whatever.]
I need a hand getting him a cake. I've never actually made one before, figured it couldn't hurt to ask if someone wants me to owe them a favor. [He has realistic expectations about what a cake baked by him would taste like.
Normally, he'd ask Ben about something like this, but with Alex gone? He doesn't want to rub salt in that wound. :c]
[Filtered to Scott & Stiles]
Do you guys remember the USO shows? From the flood? Or the comics, or whatever.
I've got a favor to ask.
[This is totally going somewhere, feel free to get suspicious Scott if you also got dancing monkey memories alongside punching HYDRA in the face and shit. c8]

What kind of cake do you want for him?

Oh! [The moment of revelation lights up her features.] Chocolate pudding cake! It's goopy, it's chocolatey...it's completely indulgent. He'll love it!

I promise you, you'll think you never had real chocolate cake before. Are we allowed to raid the dining hall kitchen for baking and stuff?
...never mind. I'll make Lydia help me.

Why? Are we singing Happy Birthday in German as a joke or something?

But the grin she's fighting back (badly) says it for her.]
So it's more like a sort of "Over There" thing...yeah, I think I can do that.
