New Years Series

"I don't care about the romantic stuff. Let's just watch movies and cuddle."

"I don't care about the romantic stuff. Let's just watch movies and cuddle."

"But, Daniel-"

"No buts, Peg." He stands up from the couch and takes her hands in his. "We deserve a night in. No cases, no fighting and running, no fixing a problem Stark made..." Peggy laughs at that. "Just you and me."

"Alright, if you insist..." 

Daniel takes her hands and leads her to the couch, then sits down. When he does Peggy follows him and sits on his lap, placing a kiss on his lips. Her hand holds his cheek as the other rests over his shoulders. Daniel wraps an arm around her back and rest the other on her waist. After a few moments, the young lovers break apart. Peggy places her head on his, as they breath in the same air. Daniel holds her closer as she lays her head against his chest, then she turns around so her back is against his chest. He places a tender kiss on the nap of her neck as she leans against him more.

"What did you have in mind to watch, darling?" Peggy asks with her head slightly turned to look at him from over her shoulder. 

"Mm..." another kiss from her shoulder to her ear. "We could watch Mildred Pierce. I know Rose recommended that one." She hums as she thinks. "Or Notorious. Its got some romance and spy gigs. Action and espionage. Seeing as I know you wouldn't want to watch something that was nothing but romance."

She laughs at that and leans back into him. "Very true, indeed." Daniel wraps his arms around her middle and sets his chin on her shoulder, waiting for an answer. "I say we watch Notorious." 

"Good choice, amor." He kisses her cheek and holds her closer, making her laugh and place her hands over his.

"Oh wait! We can't watch it yet." Daniel looks bewildered from behind her.

"Why not? We have it right there." He points, then holds her again.

She chuckles at his neediness and brings his hand to her lips, leaving a kiss there. "Because, Daniel, we don't have snacks." He closes his eyes and shakes his head.

"Is there any time of the day when you don't think about food?"

"Mm...no." She smiles and then releases his hands from her to get off of the couch.

"Wait what are you doing?" He asks urgently, grabbing on to her hands. She laughs at him and stops.

"I'm going to make popcorn and grab a few sweets. Is that alright with you?" She teases, but he doesn't give in.

"Don't go. Just come back and watch the movie, we don't need all of that." He begs making her blush and laugh all at once.

"I'm be back before I'm gone, love. Don't worry." Daniel puts on a pout face and she kisses his forehead softly. "Then I'm yours, alright?" 

He holds her at arms length and sighs, but nods his head and lets her go. When Peggy enters the kitchen, she  sets up the bag and heats it on the stove. As she waits, she glances towards the living room but doesn't see Daniel. Curious, she steps away from the popcorn and goes to find him. Peggy walks around the corner and finds him laying down the length of the couch. 

"You're done already?" He asks, popping up with excitement.

"No..." She replies, leaning against the arm rest. "I didn't see where you were and I wondered where you went off to. Now I see you were only lying down."

Daniel smirks and opens his arms. "You can join me." 

She laughs and rolls her eyes, but caves in anyway. Peggy walks around the couch and lays in his arms, her body pressed against his, her back against his chest, and her legs between his. Daniel wraps his arms around hers and kisses her neck, making her chuckle and snuggle closer to him. She rests her arms on his and intertwines their fingers that rest on her abdomen. 

"I love you." He whispers in her ear, making a shiver run down her spine. 

"Eu também te amo, meu amor." Peggy replies. Daniel freezes at her unexpected response. When he recovers he laughs and squeezes her tight while peppering kisses along her neck and cheek. "Daniel!" She laughs. She wiggles around and tries to break free, not being able to stop the giggles and laughs. But all too soon their moment stops when a POP! explodes from the kitchen.

"What the hell was that!?" Daniel exclaims as he and Peggy untangle themselves from the couch. 

She gasps and runs to the kitchen. "Bloody hell!"

When she runs around the corner, she stops in her tracks as she looks at the mess. The entire kitchen had been covered with popcorn. 

"What the..." Daniel comes up behind her and looks around the kitchen. "Well, I guess its just sweets then. Now lets' go watch the movie!" He kisses her cheek and crutches back into the living room, leaving Peggy astonished. 

"But-Daniel! What about the popcorn?"

"We'll clean it later. First movies and relaxing, okay?" He opens up his arms again and she all but falls in them, making him chuckle.

"Tired?"

"Thoroughly." She rests her head on his chest as her chest lays against his. "I can't believe I did that." She mumbles. 

"I can." Peggy whips her head up and glares at him. "I'm just saying, Peg. You hate being in the kitchen making food. You might love eating said food, but you're horrible at watching it cook."

"Ha bloody ha." She digs her nails into his side making him squirm. They laugh once more, holding onto each other. "If you weren't so distracting, I wouldn't have forgotten."

"Okay...I'll take the blame for this one. Just this one though." He emphasizes. "Now what happened to the turkey on Thanksgiving..."

"That was ONE TIME!" She laughs. "Ugh.. you are an arse."

"But you still love me." She smirks and looks away from him to watch the start of the movie.

"Always."
