It was Christmas time and you, Steve, Tony, Thor, and Tasha were at the mall. You'd only been on the first floor for a while, hitting shops like JCPenny and Macy's. You and Tony had gotten Starbucks and Chick-Fil-A while the others shopped for your gifts. Tony had been in all the most expensive shops buying super expensive things like watches that no one knew how to work and perfume that could kill you if you took one whiff. You had bought mostly sentimental things that you knew people would use.

"So Y/N, what did you get me? Is it expensive?" Tony asks as you play with piano chords on your phone. You have been working on the music for your new lyrics and would much rather be playing these chords than on your phone at the mall. You sigh and shake your head.

"Tony, you realize that I can't afford expensive things. I buy sentimental gifts that people would actually like and use. And Christmas isn't who spends the most money it's who gets the most stressed actually shopping for presents. Like me for example. Now could you please leave me alone? I'm done shopping and I want to figure out these chords before next week." You put your earbuds in and play multiple chords over your guitar recording. Tony drums his fingers against the table and looks around. Finally you've had enough, you stuff your phone into your purse and march Tony downstairs where the rest of the guys are. You find them at the bottom of the escalators Tasha shouting at Steve about "how they're not even that hard to use! You just step on the stair and let it take you to the top!" Steve looks hesitant and steps on the escalator only to slip and bang his face on one of the other steps. Natasha and Clint laugh and Thor only stands off to the side looking bored as he holds all the bags. You sigh and head over to Steve handing Tony over to Thor. You help Steve up and examine the cut below his eye.

"God Steve, it's just an escalator. Didn't you have those in the 1920's?" You ask dabbing a wet wipe on his face. Steve shakes his head no. You sigh again as you place a band aid under his eye.
"Honestly do I have to take care of all of you?" With that you turn to leave not caring who goes or who stays.

Christmas morning you are awoken by something cold and hard pulling you out of bed. You open your eyes to see Bucky slowly pushing you off the bed.

"Bucky! I was sleeping! What time is it?" You roll out of bed and rub your eyes. Bucky laughs and replies "It's 7:00 how are you not up already? Plus it's Christmas." You yank on a sweatshirt and slippers and pad down to the living room. Upon entering you shoot Bucky a glare. He winks and takes a drink of coffee.
"Anyone else get almost pushed out of bed by Mr. Christmas over here?" You ask jabbing a thumb toward Bucky. Steve laughs as everyone else raises their hand. You sit down next to Tasha and she hands you your favorite cow mug filled with coke. You thank her and take a drink, already feeling better.
Tony shakes his head.

"How on earth can you drink coke this early in the morning?"

"It's called swallowing. You pour the liquid in your mouth and the use your tongue  to push it down your throat." You reply smugly. Tasha smirks and Clint punches him in the arm. Tony only glares at his coffee. After breakfast you open presents. Tasha gets perfume,slippers, two gymnastics meets tickets, a pair of sweatpants, and boxing gloves. Steve gets and IPhone, a case, a bobble head of himself, an instruction manual for his phone, an American flag tie, and a picture book about escalators. Clint got new arrows, new shoes, three books, and hair gel. Tony got gift cards and that was it. He seemed most pleased with yours: an Asian grill gift card that Pepper liked. You did like to get people things they would use after all. You get a cow poster, 6 glass coke bottles, three knives, a movie gift card, and a box set of the Maze Runner series. You about passed out at that one, seeing Newt on the cover of the Death Cure made you cry and Steve was worried you didn't like it. You had to assure him several times that you were just really happy and that you liked the gift.

"Merry Christmas everyone." Thor says turning to leave. You remember your song and stand up quickly.

"Wait wait wait! I have something I wanna show you guys. You lead them to your room with a piano and start to play the song. After Steve's escalator incident everyone teasing him had given you time to finish it. Everyone had loved it add gave you several compliments. It did turn out to be a merry Christmas, even after being poked out of bed.
