With a few minutes delay we arrive at the Avengers Tower. I don't know why, but instead of driving into the underground garage, James parks the car upstairs, right in front of the door. As soon as the car comes to a stop, Peter jumps out of the car and runs inside. This boy - he's probably embarrassed to be late to the party. While Bucky has already got out and gone to the trunk - to get the gift bags out - I grab my purse and get out as well. It's beautiful out here. The tower sparkles with colorful lights from the Christmas decorations, it's snowing and the street lamps make it almost seem as if the snow is sparkling. Bags in one hand, James comes to me and grabs one of my hands. But instead of going inside, he pulls me close and kisses me softly. For a moment we stand in the snow and kiss, like two teenagers who have just fallen in love - gently and almost shyly. Eventually he breaks the kiss and leans his forehead against mine.
Victoria: I guess we should go in there now.
Bucky: I guess you're right.
One last kiss before we go inside and take the elevator up to the "party room". As soon as we get there and step out of the elevator, Tony begins his speech, which he apparently hasn't started yet just because of us.He gives us a meaningful look.
Tony: Now that we're finally all together, I would like to welcome you all to this years christmas party. The buffet is now open. Eat, drink, dance and enjoy the evening.
As soon as Tony is done, I slip off my coat and hand it to James, who takes it to the cloakroom along with his jacket. While he's in the cloakroom, I carry the gift bags to the Christmas tree - which already has presents underneath - and distribute our presents underneath too. As soon as I'm done, two arms wrap around me and James rests his chin on my shoulder.
Bucky: That's quite a lot of presents. I don't think there have ever been so many presents underneath the Avengers Christmastree.
Victoria: Well, I haven't celebrated Christmas with you guys yet and i love giving gifts.
Nat: Hey you two. Vicky, I need to kidnap you for a moment.
Nat has appeared next to us and looks super excited. James makes no move to take his arms off me, though.
Bucky: And why do you have to?
Nat: Girl stuff, top secret. In the meantime, you can talk with the boys about boy stuff.
In his arms, I turn to him and peck his lips.
Victoria: I'll be right back.
Bucky: I hope so.
As soon as Bucky lets go of me, Nat grabs my hand and pulls me over to the bar, where Wanda is already waiting for us.
Nat: God, watching you two makes one get diabetes.
Giggling, I roll my eyes and order a cranberry vodka from the bartender before hugging Wanda to greet her.
Wanda: I think it's cute. Besides, Steve and you are the same.
Nat: Well, maybe you guys aren't that bad after all. Off topic - have you given it to him yet?
Victoria: Have I given what to whom?
Nat: The special present for our men?!
Victoria: Oh no, not yet. I wanted to wait until we're home later. And since Peter is staying here tonight, we are all alone and he can show me in the whole house, in every single room, how much he likes the pictures. Have you given it to Steve and Loki yet?
Wanda: No, I had the same thought as you.
Nat: Me too. That's good, then we don't have to make sure that nobody spills the word and spoils the surprise for the others.
