[it's a nice comfortable acknowledgment. it's a nice little grin. it's a nice smack of lips. it's a nice vignette altogether, really, of bucky more or less at ease in his own space.
it's all definitely not a date. it's just spending an evening together with food and drink because they enjoy each other's company, so. absolutely the farthest thing.]
I wouldn't call a pile of meat and pastry a "feast." [although it is, apparently, a hefty amount of those things from the slight 'whomp' as loki sets the bag down on the counter.] Besides, I imagine my tastes are a bit expensive. How many cups now?
I dunno, you ever been to a pie eating contest? Cause I'm sure that bag could definitely compete.
( a toothy grin emphasizes the tease as bucky pauses his work to pour another cup. )
Nine cups, now, so five more from the original four.
...how expensive? ( he asks with his left hand raising the mug to his lips so he can blow in it gently to cool it a bit more. his right hand raises to make the "expensive" hand gesture, but it seems he clearly knows how it's been co-opted to be a miniature heart also, given the angle and way he holds his forefinger to his thumb. 🫰🫰🫰 )
[wildly irresponsible of whatever youth taught this old man to be adorable, honestly.]
I'd have to imagine anything imported from Asgard would be fairly costly. Even compared to 1,000 cups of coffee.
[or maybe not. money isn't actually something loki spends a huge amount of time thinking about. it's more an aura of expensiveness than a practical point.
besides, all this is hardly the point. the point is that it's easier not to wallow when he's here (and maybe, just a little, to keep basking in the sensation of being some flavor of a favorite).
so have a light reassuring pat on the shoulder, bucky, before loki begins unpacking the top layer of treats.]
