"We should get a huge one," Tony suggested, sitting at the bar and sipping his morning coffee. "One that puts Time Square to shame. Unless we find Time Square." Tony hummed, also holding a magazine in one hand.

"And we should decorate it with red and yellow. Those two colors are perfect, wouldn't you agree?"
Steve leaned against the counter, one of his arms crossed over his stomach while the other held a cup of coffee. He and Tony were different coffee drinkers; Tony insisted his be sweetened so much it put a pound of candy to shame while Steve drank his black.

Tony grimaced. "Maybe we should have a theme." He hummed. "Or let the robots handle it." Still, while Tony spoke, Steve had yet to say a word. Tony flipped quickly through the magazine, obviously searching for presents. "What about Peter? Do you think he wants to decorate the tree? I know he was excited today over something."

Finally, Steve finished off his coffee and set the mug in the sink. He went over to Tony, lowering himself a bit to wrap his arms around Tony's waist. He laid his chin on his shoulder. "Relax." His voice was calm and soothing; Like a lullaby, really. "We're just finding a tree today. We'll decorate it later."

Tony leaned back on Steve, closing his eyes. "I'm planning ahead." He stated, a matter of factly. "That way when the time does come around, we have a fool proof plan." Steve simply sighed and picked up Tony, who struggled for a moment. "Hey! Where are we going?! I still have to plan!"

"Why are we at a tree farm?" Tony deadpanned, bundled up from the cold that threatened to nip at his nose. "I thought we were going to make one of the assistants get a tree. You know I hate going out in public-"

Steve shook his head. "We're going to find the perfect tree together. Not too tall, not too short- Just....Perfect." He reached out his hand and gently grabbed Tony's as they made their way around the huge farm.

"I never knew there were this many types of trees." He muttered. "Usually for the avengers tower we just grab one and decorate it." Steve simply hummed at the comment. "Well, this year, we're finding one for us. Our own tree, not matter how bi-"

Steve was cut off by a gasp and loud shriek. "Look at THAT!" Tony pointed at a tree at least sixteen feet tall. "Its PERFECT." He stated, a smug smirk on his face.

"It's huge." He muttered. "We can't even fit that." Then, Steve's eyes fell to a smaller one, but still a bit big. "What about that one?" Steve pointed, in which Tony looked over. The tree was about twelve feet tall, and very fluffed out.

Tony's smirk turned into more of a smile- A real, genuine one. "It's perfect." He murmured, approaching the tree while still holding Steve's hand. He stopped infront of it, leaning his smaller frame against Steve's. He immediately wrapped an arm around him.

"Let's get it."
