As promised on my other book (its called starring with chris evans if you want to check it out- cheeky promo ;) ) here is the Christmas imagine! 

"URGH why is tony so hard to buy for" I exclaim as me and Steve walk out of yet another shop, "because the man has literally everything" Steve chuckles "why don't we focus on someone else for now" he suggests. I sigh in defeat "because we've done everyone else, the only person I have left to buy for is you" I say looking up at him "oh, is there anything else Christmas wise we need to get?" he asks wrapping his arm around my shoulder and pulling me close. "we just need to decorate the apartment, and the tree" I smile resting my head against him slightly as we walked "okay then let's go do that then, we can play Christmas music drink hot drinks and not worry about Tony's present right now" Steve smiles. We walk back to the car and put all the bags in the back before getting in and playing the Christmas music, I began belting out all the songs while Steve just chuckled at me concentrating more on the driving "SO HERE IT IS MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY'S HAVING FUN, LOOK TO THE FUTURE NOW ITS ONLY JUST BEGUN!" I sing dancing along to the music. We pulled into the car park for the apartment building and I was mid-song so Steve kept the engine going until the song was done, he watched smiling taking a couple of photos on his phone. "c'mon doll lets go decorate, you can carry on singing inside" Steve says once the song finishes "okay but only if you sing along" I smirk. "unfortunately I can't promise that" he says getting out of the car "c'mon stevie its Christmas can't help but be happy and sing all the Christmas songs" I smirk following him to the car boot , he shakes his head as he opens the boot and pulls out all the shopping "I am all happy, I just can't really sing" he shrugs. I take some bags from him "that is a complete lie, plus who cares as long as you have fun while you do it, you just need the right song to sing to" I say as we walk to the elevator.

The whole apartment had been decorated and we were now decorating the tree, as promised we had Christmas music playing and I was dancing and singing along to it as we hung the decorations on the tree. The song that was currently on was Mariah carey's all I want for Christmas Is you, I was belting it out pointing to Steve who was laughing at my hyperness. I grabbed hold of his hands and got him dancing with me and just as it got to the climax of the song he joined in and nailed it "Steve told you that you would end up singing" I laugh wrapping my arms around him, he smiles down at my and wraps his arms around me too kissing the top of my head "guess it's just catchy" he smirks. We both end up singing to all the songs afterword and we had got to the end point of putting the star up at the top "stevie little boost please" I smile holding the gold star, he smiles bending down "okay hop on" he laughs. I climb onto his shoulders and he slowly stands up "okay just a little closer" I say holding onto his head with one hand and the star in the other, he takes a couple steps closer holding onto my knees tightly so I wouldn't fall. I stretch out and slide the star on adjusting it so it wasn't wonky "there that's better you can put me down now" I say resting both my hands on his head "nope not happening" he smirks walking away from the tree "Steve put me down" I sigh smiling. He shakes his head and holds onto my knees tighter before beginning to spin making me squeal and hold onto him tighter "(Y/N) stop you're covering my eyes!" he laughs slowing down slightly "stop spinning then" I laugh he comes to a stop and I move my hands off his eyes. He still doesn't put me down though and starts walking towards the kitchen, I laugh as he bends down so we both fit through the door "what are you doing?" I ask laughing. He glances up at me "I'm putting you down" he smirks bending down so I could get off "why couldn't you put me down in there?" I ask slightly confused. He raises a brow resting his hands on my waist before picking me up and turning, once he puts me down he points up to the mistletoe that was hanging above us "oh you cheeky monkey" I laugh wrapping my arms around his waist. He laughs "so I don't get a kiss" he ask smirking, I smile leaning up as he leans down to press our lips together for a sweet kiss. Just as we pull apart Steve's phone begins to ring, when we looks at the caller id his face become serious instantly. He pulls out of the hug and answers the phone "director fury" he greets, I watch biting my nails slightly as he nods along to whatever fury was telling him "how long?" he asks. I sigh slightly clocking onto the fact that he had to go on a mission "okay sir, goodbye" he sighs hanging up the phone, he looks at me sadly "when do you have to go?" I ask rubbing one of my arms. "4 days' time, on the 13th" he sighs coming over to pull me into a hug "I'll be back on the 20th ready for Christmas, the rest of the team will be here since it's just me, Bucky and Sam" he continues resting his head on top of mine. I remain silent just listening to his heartbeat and smelling his cologne "I'm sorry (Y/N), but I have to go" he sighs, I look up at him and smile weakly "I know, you'll be back for Christmas so it's all okay, I can go to get your present while you're gone". He smiles slightly "and I'll leave my comfiest hoodie and a bottle on my cologne so you don't feel so alone" I smile more "thanks sweetie" I sigh burying my head in his chest.

I had managed to get Steve's present as well as tony's while he was gone, I ended up getting a personalised gin bottle for tony. I was waiting at the apartment for Steve to arrive home from his mission, I had cooked his favourite meal that he always loved to have when he got home I had his favourite movie and music ready to play so that we could just relax together. I was lying on the sofa waiting for the familiar sound of keys in the door that signalled that he was home and okay, the hours went on and he still hadn't arrived home. I had put the dinner in Tupperware boxes and into the fridge ready to warm up when he did arrive home, I tried desperately to stay awake but I was losing the fight as my eyelids began to droop. At 1am in the morning I was awoken suddenly by a knock on the door, excited that it could be Steve I jumped up off the couch and quickly made my way to the door, I stop short of it thought realising that it couldn't be Steve as he would have used his keys. I look through the key hole to see Nat stood waiting at the door, I feared the worse as I opened the door "Nat?" I ask slowly "he's fine" she reassures me. I breathe a sigh of relief "but the mission is turning out to take longer than expected and he doesn't know when he'll be back" she continues, I nod my head realising he may not be back for Christmas "you can stay at the tower so you're not all alone" she offers. I smile slightly "thanks Nat, I will come over on Christmas day but I think I'll stay here over night just in case" I tell her, she nods her head "if you need anything the team's here for you okay" Nat say pulling me in for a hug. When we leaves I make my was back to bed pulling on Steve's hoodie breathing in his scent before falling asleep looking across at his empty side of the bed.

I spent Christmas eve wrapping the last of the presents and baking the festive treats I had promised the team, I tried to keep myself occupied occasionally looking at my phone hoping it would ring and it to be Steve. It was approaching the evening and it seemed like Steve wasn't going to be home for Christmas, I finish watching the Christmas movie I was watching I get ready for bed. The apartment seemed colder than usual probably because it didn't have the human furnace in it, I slide into bed for another night without him. Usually on Christmas eve you can't sleep because you're took excited but I couldn't get to sleep because I just missed him so much. My thoughts get the better of myself and I begin to cry at the thought of spending Christmas without my super soldier, I slowly cry myself to sleep not looking forward to tomorrow for the first time in my life. The next morning when I woke I hoped I would wake up to find him asleep next to me but he wasn't, I slowly get out of bed and carry on like it was just a normal day. I made myself breakfast and got dressed before putting the presents for the team in a bag ready to open at the tower, I left all the other presents under the tree ready for when Steve did arrive home. I was sat by the tree sorting the present out when I heard the sound I had been waiting for, I look over to the door to see Steve open it still in his uniform with cuts and bruises all over him. "Steve" I say quietly barely above a whisper, "you didn't think I would miss Christmas would you?" he smirks dropping his bag and shield and closing the door. I begin to cry as I run over to him and launch myself into his arms, he strokes the back of my head and holds me tight as I cry into his chest "I'm so sorry (Y/N), the last few days have been so full on with the mission I didn't have a chance to call" he says resting his head on top of mine "it's okay, I'm just glad you're safe" I sigh looking up at him. He smiles down at me before crashing his lips onto mine, our lips move together as we close any space between us. When we pull away he rests his forehead on mine "I haven't had time to get your presents but I do have this" he say pulling away to reach into one of his pockets on his belt, he pulls out a small necklace and places it in my hands "sorry it's not wrapped" he apologies. I look down at the necklace to see it was a small silver coin one with a compass on one side and a quote on the other that read: not all wanderers are lost, I smile up at him "its lovely, and I don't mind if it's the only thing as I have you back" I sigh. Steve presses another kiss to my lips before taking the necklace and placing it around my neck for me, "perfect" he sighs pulling me into another hug "now let's celebrate Christmas".
