A/N: I'm thinking about making this a drabble series, Amy being an original character. Please review and tell me what you think.

The Avengers are surprised to find that Steve and Amy love to wash dishes together. After a huge meal, either ordered in or cooked by whomever feels like cooking, Amy will bounce up from her seat, collecting dishes on her way to Avengers Tower's state of the art kitchen. And then Steve follows her, gathering the remaining dishes in his arms.

Pepper will urge Tony to get up and help, it is his Tower and he's technically their host. Tony's responses vary from time to time, but they are always so typically Tony that Pepper has to bite her tongue not to laugh. Clint and Bruce will often laugh, causing Thor to join in, even though he may or may not get Tony's joke. Usually it takes a sharp glance from Pepper or Natasha to shut them up.

While this charade happens in the dining room, or the den, or wherever dinner has been served that night, Steve and Amy are working side by side to wash the dishes. Amy will wash, Steve will dry and put away.

They aren't really sure why they enjoy this chore so much. They do know that is just so domestic that they can forget for a moment that Steve may leave at the drop of a hat to go avenge the Earth. Steve likes the repetition of the actions. It makes him feel useful. Which is silly because he is the unofficial leader of their superhero group and Steve is nothing if not useful.

But they take their time, washing and drying. To the others, the couple works like a well-oiled machine. Natasha's compared them to a dance before. Neither getting in the other's way, always anticipating the next move. Everyone can see that they work well together, partners in a dance that only they know the steps.

Washing dishes also serves as quiet time. Steve and Amy discuss whatever comes to mind. It may be a stupid joke one or the other had heard earlier, or it could be Steve parlaying his fears and thoughts. The ease with which they accomplish the task of washing dishes causes conversation to flow, focus can be paid to the words and not the task.

In any respect, washing dishes, of all things, brings them closer as a couple.
