[He sees that eye twitch, Leo, and he can't help but grin a little. But with Bucky saying to be easy on the chip throwing, he'll be good.

For now.]

Academically, I could yes. Socially? No, that would probably be you. [He is quite willing to admit he's no social person after all.]

And aren't the packets supposed to make broth anyway? [Not touching the fact their oldest brother double fists soup and noodles.]

Oh, are you two thinking about going to school? I wasn't sure how much either of you might consider that on the table.

[Bucky was quite proficient with a knife, as it turned out, and collecting a pile of thin slices of the meat was rather swift, with him stopping only once or twice to test at the edge of the knife. Finally done, he set the knife in the sink, moving to the sink to wash his hands.]

I'll leave that one up to you two. I don't think either of you need the academic part of school, but maybe finding more peers could be fun.

[Says the man who's less social than either of them.]

That's if its even a challenge for you, Dee. We dunno what the school is even like. [He shrugs a little in turn.]

I dunno, school seems mega-boring, but... [He isn't quite sure how to bring up the fact his boss politely told him he needed to go to school. Maybe he'll bring it up with Donnie eventually.] Maybe.

I make a lot of friends anyway, and Donnie has like this thing with Ray going on. So it'd be just more social stuff.

Yeah, yeah. [He waves with his not holding a chip bag hand dismissively.]

I've been meaning to look into it, the school. Just things keep happening. [At Leo mentioning his friendship with Rachel? Donnie is just going to be so much more interested in his chips now, yep. Not touching that topic.]

Ray? [Bucky raised an eyebrow, glancing over at the two of them, but went right back to his food preparation.] Would you two rather have rice or noodles to go with stir fry?

[He was leaving space for the subject to drop, if having it dropped was desired.]

[Leo clasps his hands together, batting his non existent eyelashes at Donnie as he goes for the proverbial kill.] Donnies giirrrrlfriend. That's who Ray is. He went on a date with her on Valentines Day!

[Sure the timeloop interrupted that, but, shhh.]

I want rice, please. [Look, manners!]

[Donnie seriously considers just going to punch Leo for that, but shall not! Oh no, he shall get his brother later when he least expects it. Instead just focused on his chips and Bucky's question.]

It got cancelled so does it really count? [Okay so he has to clarify that bit of information, at least, and then he'll answer Bucky's question.]

Rice, of course, just goes better with a stir fry.

Good because I was already planning for rice but it occurred to me I hadn't really double checked. Frying noodles with other things is a pain in the ass. I'll do it, but I'm gonna whine the whole time.

[Bucky did look up at the mention of a Valentine's date, seeming rather puzzled for a moment.] I don't...remember anything about a date? When did that happen? Did I miss it?

[Thanks to the Whole Thing with that time period, Bucky is aware of the passage of time, but not entirely aware that anything of note happened during said passage of time.]

We're little grain guys in this household, so no whining needed.

C'mon, man, it totally counted. [He sticks his tongue out a little. Bucky's question does distract Leo from heckling Donnie.]

We were all collectively stuck in a time loop, dad. [He says this probably too casually.] I think in at least one, Donnie actually went out with Ray to the skate park.

At least twice, by the third time I was kind of... Aware of the loop and stuff that was going on. [He remembers the whole thing, it's kind of unnerving in a way. But he's not sharing that information with Bucky and Leo.]

And it got called off in the one that counts, so that means it never happened. So don't worry about it, Bucky. [That and he's unaware of if Rachel remembers it at all either.]

[From the way Bucky turned to stare at the two of them, it was clear he was trying to figure out if they were just messing with him or not. Likely they'd been able to figure out on their own that he had never been aware of the loops, so it probably wasn't much of a surprise.

Either way, whether he decided he believed them or just decided to humor them, he turned his attention to the fridge, taking out a few various vegetables.]

Well, it's good to know you two are making friends, either way. If anything more comes of that, that's good too.

Def worry about it, cause you need to reschedule, nerd boy. She's your friend, so hanging out will be fun for both of you.

[Is he badgering both of them in different threads about it? Yes. He drops the teasing for now, apparently content to just be a pain in a different way.] I think this is the most socializing we've done, I mean, we didn't get to go the Hidden City that much to meet people, and who wants to socialize when you're getting pizza at Run of The Mill?

It's not going to become anything "more", dad.

[He says this in response to Bucky's words, and just casually eats his chips totally unaware of what word just slipped out of his mouth there.

And he snorts at what Leo says about rescheduling things.]

Of course I will, that's if she's even interested... [As to the whole being social thing, as much as he hates to admit it Leo is right as he nods to his brother's words.]

That and having been arrested in the Hidden City kind of also put a damper on going there too.

[Bucky didn't say anything, even after a relatively short time, he knew better. But he didn't stop a grin from coming to his face either, even as he kept working on the food he was preparing, and it could be heard in his voice as he continued.]

Either way. I am glad to hear you two are getting to socialize a lot more here. You both seem a lot more interested in people than I'm used to.

[And a short pause before...]

...what did you get arrested for?

[Leo heard that, Donnie. He somehow manages to not call it out.]

I mean, growing up in a sewer with just your fam can make you a little intrigued in socializing, or in Donnie's case, just school.

[He coughs innocently into his hand.] Yeah, Dee, why were you arrested for?

[Deflection? Absolutely.]

[And since no one called it out, Donnie is blissfully unaware of what he just said.

And he sees that deflection Leo! Also he doesn't feel too bad about what he did soooo.]

Burned a town down, basically. At least it's not as dumb as what Leo got arrested for.

...oh you were both arrested for separate things. That's...more story than I was expecting. And what do you mean you burned a town down?

[Bucky was expecting public defacement or some mild robbery, normal kid stuff. He's still maybe adjusting his expectations for these two.]

I was blamed for a series of robberies at a spa. It was pinned on me! I was framed! By evil hair! I didn't burn down a town unlike some people!

[Bucky sure signed up for something by parenting these two.]

See, Leo was dumb, so very dumb.

[And pointedly not answering the question about what he means by burning a town down.]

[Bucky didn't verbally call Donnie out on that dodge, but Bucky looked at him with narrowed eyes, enough to make it clear that he saw it happen. He'll come back to it when he's ready.]

Okay. It usually takes about half an hour for stir fry. Is that enough time to ask for a proper explanation on "evil hair"?

I see how it is, we're ignoring burning down a town!?

[He throws his hands melodramatically in the air, the picture of teenage drama.

He still answers though.]

Look, I just wanted to go to a nice spa resort, but they wouldn't let me in without hair. So, some guy at the worse no hair having spa did like something so I'd grow hair! Evil hair science! The hair was evil and alive on my head, and anytime I took a nap it'd drag me along to steal people's stuff!

[Hey as long as he doesn't have to explain how he angered a demon that led to Witch Town basically being destroyed? He'll avoid it.

And he only knew a few detail about Leo's situation, so hearing the whole story? Hilarious, don't mind the chuckle from Donnie at Leo's story.]

Oh I'm not ignoring it. I'm gonna wait till it slips your minds and then ask again so it startles you into answering without thinking to cover it up.

[Bucky's figured you two out more than anyone would have expected, kids.]

Also, don't let people experiment on you, Leo. That never works out well.

...Okay, you have my respect, Dad. [Slick AF right here.] To be fair, all I know is it was Dee and April who caused that level of destruction.

I mean, I'm already a weird experiment, so, hard to make it worse right?

It's not like I went "Oh I'm going to destroy a town today", okay?

[He huffs, finishing off his bag of chips now.]
