The newly formed couple walked back inside. They sat down with Harley for a while, the older boy grinning the whole time, his eyes just screaming 'told you so!' at them every chance he got. Michelle wasn't shy anymore to hold Peters hand, and it made Peter's eyes sparkle.
Tony and Steve were off to the side, watching the teenagers laugh and having fun together. Tony had a Proud Dad-Sparkle in his eyes as he watched the teenage couple being adorable.
"You know, we've got mistletoe." Steve said, having finally seen the Christmas movies on TV. Tony shot him a proud look, accompanied by a smirk.
"Stevie, I think I have a plan."

Peter and Michelle eventually stood up to go make some hot chocolate, the two walking towards the kitchen. Before the two could enter the big kitchen, however, Steve and Tony approached from behind them. Peter had decided to be a gentleman and offered to go make it himself and let Michelle wait on the couch.
They had just parted, when Tony pushed Peter's back, and Steve Michelle's. They stood just under a door frame, and before either one of them could ask what was going on, Tony hung a mistletoe above their heads, whispering "Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss!" with Steve quickly joining in.
Peter opened his mouth to apologize for his friends' behavior, when Michelle laughed and closed the space between them.
Tony and Steve fell silent once the teenagers' lips connected. He stepped back a bit, the mistletoe still hanging in between the two.
"FRIDAY," he asked softly. "Snap a picture, would you?"
"Yes, sir." the AI responded, and Tony could hear the smug in her voice. This was definitely coming on the fridge.

"Peter, come on!" Peter was rudely awoken by Michelle, knocking on his door, screaming at him. "We're all waiting for you, come on!"
Realising where he was and what day it was, he jumped out of bed, put on some clothes in less than 3 minutes and ran outside, towards the living room. As he got there, he was greeted by the team, sitting at the huge dining table. He sat down next to Michelle and started eating.
One and a half hour later, everyone was finally done. Michelle jumped out of her seat from excitement as Tony mentioned the presents, and was jumping around the living room like a 5-year old that just had 30 packs of sugar.
Everyone started giving and receiving presents, and hugs and kisses were shared and huge smiles were plastered on everyone's face. Steve and Tony gave their presents at the same time.
Tony laughed when he saw what it was. It was a big, red mug, saying: 'Number One Dad' with and Iron Man picture on the back.
Steve fell silent after he unwrapped his present, showing what Tony had brought for him. It was a drawing set, with the best stuff needed for making art. The first page was already occupied, showing a Captain America drawing with Tony's signature in the corner. It was actually really good, and Steve was speechless.
The whole room was silent, and Tony was suddenly very afraid he didn't like it. He was about to stutter an apology, when Steve threw his arms around him. Tony quickly reacted and returned the gesture, relief flooding over him.
"Thank you," Steve whispered in his ear. "I love it."
Tony smiled wildly, a warm feeling in his stomach at seeing his friend so happy. And at feeling so happy himself.
Harley watched them with a wicked grin on his face.
Mission accomplished.
Lot's of hugs, tears and kisses later, it was Peter's turn to give the presents.
"Okay so, I couldn't really find stuff that I thought you guys would like, so I just went around to see what some of you guys needed," he said, handing everyone their presents. Michelle and Tony, however, got passed. Tony raised a brow.
"Kid," Tony eyed the boy with a concerned look on his face. "I think you skipped your girlfriend, boy."
"And you." Peter said, a soft smile on his face. "That's because I saved the best for last." Peter motioned to the door, where Bucky was standing in the door opening, with 2 puppies in his hands.
"Owh. My. Go-" Michelle quickly covered her own mouth as she saw the warned look on Steve's face out of the corner of her eyes.
"You're giving us both a puppy?" Tony eyed the kid again, a happy smile appearing on his face.
"The German Shepherd is Mr. Stark's, the Husky is for Michelle," Peter turned around to his girlfriend, who was still standing there in shock, not keeping her eyes off the Husky. "Oh, and they don't have names, so you guys can choose a name for yourself."
Finally, Michelle stepped forward, taking over her puppy from Bucky's arm, still not believing it was her own.
Bucky put down the German Shepherd, and as soon as he did, the pup ran over to Tony, who immediately lifted him up and hugged him.
A smile appeared on Peter's face at the sight of it, as he knelt down in front of Michelle, looking her in her dark blue eyes.
"I don't- how did you- what?" Michelle gave Peter a confused look, not letting go of her new best friend.
"They stayed at Ned's, I got them in last night. That's why my room was locked." Michelle's face turned from confusion to happiness, making Peter laugh.
"What are you going to name him?" Bucky appeared behind the couple, resting his right arm on Peter's shoulder.
"I don't really know," Michelle looked back down at the puppy in her arms. "I've always wanted to name a dog Chubby, so I guess his name will be Chubby. And don't laugh at me, it's a cute name."
"It is a cute name."
Peter turned around to face Tony, going for the same question, but before he could even let out a word, Tony already had his answer prepared; "Dingo."
Peter gave him a happy grin, watching how the man happily scratched behind Dingo's ear. Peter looked at Harley, seeing the older boy looking at him too, shooting him a big thumbs-up. Peter looked back with a proud grin on his face.
"Michelle," Tony suddenly said, standing up to kneel next to the girl seated on the ground. "I have one last present." He took a small card form who-knows-where.
Michelle took it from him, curious. She eyed it for a minute. Her name was written on top of it with Mr. Stark's really good handwriting; 'for Michelle Jones, from Tony Stark'. Oh boy, she was soo keeping this envelope. Tony chuckled.
"Go ahead, open it." he said with a soft smile. Michelle carefully opened it, pulling out a paper. She unfolded it, curiosity taking the best of her. She saw that it were 3 loose papers. She let out a shriek of surprise as she saw what was on the papers.

Michelle stared down at the papers in her hands. Pictures of her friends were on it, and the exact location of where they were.
"You-you found them..." She whispered, looking up at Mr. Stark, who was still kneeled next to her. He gave her a small nod, placing his hand on her shoulder.
"They're at a HYDRA base, one we missed. And we're gonna get them."
