Pαιrιɴɢ: Steve Rogers X Reader.
Word coυɴт: 569 words.
Sυммαry: You and Steve celebrate your first Christmas together.
Wαrɴιɴɢѕ: Reader maybe is little grumpy at the beginning.
A/N: This is my entry to MXRFF's Holiday Prompt Challenge with the prompts #6, #15 & #16:"Tree, decorations & gifts."
So, I posted this first on my Tumblr.
My native language is Spanish so I wanna improve my writing skills in English if you notice any mistakes, please let me know and I will correct them.
I don't give any kind of permission that my fics be posted in other platforms or languages (I translate myself my work) or the use of my graphics (my dividers are included in this), I did them exclusively for my fics, please respect my work and don't steal it.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Marvel's characters (unfortunately), except for the original characters and the story.
As soon as you woke up, you saw the calendar. It was time to decorate the house for the Christmas season, but you had nothing to decorate it with—not after your house had been destroyed in a surprise attack by Hydra, believing Steve was there.
It was also the first time you were going to celebrate as husband and wife; you had barely been married six months.
You started to write down the things to buy, but what worried you the most was not finding the ideal things; you had such a hard time finding the ones you had, and now you were gone.
Steve came into the kitchen, said good morning, and kissed you on the head.
"Is something wrong? You are very serious," Steve asked, slightly concerned; perhaps he had forgotten something; he began to recall; he had put the laundry in the hamper and purchased food for Pumpkin and Fluffy, your dog and cat; there was no reason for you to be upset with him.
"I don't know what I'm missing on the list; we have to buy things to celebrate the season."
"Maybe if you read it, it might help you." Steve was relieved; at least he didn't forget something important, and above all, you weren't mad at him and he wouldn't sleep on the couch.
"A tree, decorations, and, of course, you mustn't forget the most important thing: gifts."
"Dinner? Cookies?"
"We have to go to the store," you said.
"Y/N, before we go, everything is fine between us, right?" Steve tried not to sound nervous, but he'd seen you angry a few times before, and he was honestly more afraid of you in that state than he was of facing HYDRA all alone.
"If he is, why wouldn't he be?" You frowned, confused.
"Nothing else... I just... I'll wait for you in the car; you're absolutely right, we urgently need all the stuff for us to decorate. Steve left immediately.
You made a gesture; you didn't understand what was wrong with him; he probably already realized that Pumpkin had destroyed the sneakers he bought a month before; you went for your bag.
Steve was wondering if he was dreaming or maybe he had fallen into a trap; he could not believe how far he had walked and that you only had two decorations bought, which were some gingerbread doll spheres and some stars. There were still a lot of things missing.
"Come on, Y/N, we have gone through twelve different stores; it can't be that difficult."
"We've been to ten stores, and we'll keep going until we find the perfect tree; all of the ones we've seen look like dead branches," you interrupted him, a little upset.
"We'll go to the necessary ones," Steve said, definitely not wanting to sleep on the couch; last time, he had back pain for a whole week.
After store number twenty, Steve lost count. The only good thing was that he had already found what he was going to give you; even though he wasn't sure if you already had everything, he noticed you were having a great time, so it was worth what you were doing.
It took you the whole day to decorate the entire house, but you were happy with the result.
At the end of the day, you were sitting on the couch, watching a movie while drinking hot cocoa.
