Log: A March birthday
Who: Steve, Winter, and a small group of friends (he would've invited Yelena, Kate, Cortana, Rue, Martin, and Jaeger)
When: March 10, dinnertime
Where: Winter/Yelena/Kate's apartment
Summary: A birthday dinner!
Warnings: None so far (warnings in any threads)
Steve maybe just kind of assumes Winter knows it's his birthday. So, it's not like he means for this to be a surprise party, exactly, but he does ask a small group of people he either knows are Winter's friends or thinks should be invited to get together for dinner on the 10th in Winter's apartment. And he doesn't bother to tell Winter, other than to somehow subtly make sure he plans to be home that night.
He can't imagine actually jumping out and yelling Surprise! at Winter is ideal. So, when Winter arrives back after work, it's simply to find that his friends are there and dinner is in the oven.
Steve is admittedly no great cook, but he also isn't sure he trusts the local restaurants right now. So he's been working on if not perfecting, at least learning to make a passable chicken casserole (and if anyone in said friend group doesn't eat meat, he'll make a vegetarian version as well). He knows it might be a little awkward for Cortana to sit through dinner with nothing to eat, so he's made up a little bouquet of colorful flowers to go on her plate so it's not just sitting empty.
He has asked people to bring something sweet (preferably chocolate) for dessert if they're able, figuring Winter can't possibly have too many treats. It is his birthday, after all! And Steve's learned to make enough chocolate cupcakes to go around so they can stick a candle on Winter's and sing him Happy Birthday at the end of the meal. Presents in addition to sweets are of course welcome but optional.
He's brought a couple of decks of cards if people want to stick around and play after dinner, but of course that doesn't have to be the only option for entertainment. And he absolutely makes sure everything is cleaned up again and in order before he leaves for the night.

She starts loading the plates. "It was a nice thing. It lets him know that he is loved." And that love goes a long ways when trying to keep the Stranger at bay. "And that's important."
She continues to load the plates. "How long has it been for you?"

Of course, the question makes him pause, laughing a little. "I guess it depends on how you're counting. Decades, technically. Like... 80 years? For me. If you're counting everything."
Including the years one or both of them was on ice. And the five that Bucky was dusted.
Steve shakes his head. "All that matters is it's been way too long. I never got a chance to fix it back home, so - " Here he is, trying to celebrate. "Thanks for being a part of it. I know you're important to him."
