Hey, y'all!

Guys... This isn't even a drabble at this point... I got carried away...

I've got a prompt from SLYNNR, who asked about a Secret Santa story. I hope this is satisfactory! And I added Coulson because, guys, he's like the best person ever and he really shouldn't have died. I also may or may not be living in denial about his death. Actually, I added him because since these were Steve Rogers Drabbles, I had to make things a little interesting.

It also gave me another idea... The 5 Times Steve gave his teammates a gift, and the 1 Time they gave him one. Yes or no?

Please read & review! If you're so inclined, a prompt, maybe?

Enjoy!

Bruce wondered, and not for the first time, why he had agreed to Secret Santa... It sounded like a good idea at the time. But when he pulled Thor's name, he began to question his sanity. What in the world do you give the God of Thunder? He has his own kingdom for crying out loud! As Bruce walked through past aisles and aisles of useless junk, something caught his eye and he grinned. Oh, this was perfect.

Meanwhile, Clint was pouting. Of course he had picked Stark. It couldn't have been Natasha, it had to be the genius billionaire who could buy anything he wanted anytime he wanted it. As he sat, perched on a beam, shooting whatever he felt like shooting, an idea came to him. Pull a couple of favors here and there, and he might win the genius' favorite status.

Natasha knew exactly what she was after. She had known Coulson for many years. This Secret Santa was going to be easy.

Tony, on the other hand, was staring in disbelief at his slip of paper. Natasha? Really? This is it. This was how he was going to die. Nobody would ever find his - wait! Suddenly, the genius knew a present that wouldn't get him killed. He just wished Pepper was here to confirm his safety.

It was of no surprise that Thor immediately went to see Jane after he received his slip of paper. The God of Thunder was still unsure about the customs on Earth. Jane read Clint's name and threw out some ideas. After several moments, he chose the one that sounded most likely to please the archer.

Coulson chuckled. He was glad that he had gotten Bruce's name. While the doctor was usually quiet, there were certain things about him that anyone with eyes could see he enjoyed. And Coulson knew, that this one was not going to bring out the Other Guy.

Steve sighed. He had drawn his own name. Since everyone else had picked a slip, he couldn't put it back in, and he couldn't trade. However, and idea sparked. Grinning to himself, he pulled on a jacket. This could work.

There was excitement in the air. Tonight, everyone would give their gifts. At precisely 6:00 that evening, all of the Avengers, as well as Agent Coulson, were gathered in the common living room.

"How are we going to do this?"

"Let's give gifts in the order that we pulled the names," Coulson said.

Bruce nodded as he handed his gift to Thor. "I'll tell you, Big Guy, I wasn't sure about what to get you. But I couldn't pass this up."

Thor opened his gift and grinned. "Thank you, good doctor! I shall add it to my collection." As he lifted his present, the others could see what it was. Bruce had gotten him another rubber duck to add to the mound already in his room.

"Mine next!" Clint said, walking towards the elevator. "I had to pull some strings, but I think I might have found the best gift."

As the elevator opened, Tony gaped, speechless, for once. "H-how did you?" Clint shrugged.

"I figured, Pepper coming home is something money can't exactly buy. I know she was on a business trip, and wasn't returning until next week, so, voila!"

The billionaire hugged his girlfriend and grinned. Definitely the best gift.

Natasha handed Coulson a rectangular box. The agent didn't even have to open it. "I'm supposed to be on a diet, Natasha," he said, popping a donut in his mouth. She raised an eyebrow. "'Supposed to' being the important phrase in that sentence."

Tony reluctantly let go of Pepper and handed Natasha his gift. "Please don't kill me!"

Opening it, the Black Widow smiled. "I think I can make an exception." Inside the box, was several different kinds of expensive chocolate.

"Clint!" Thor boomed. "Here is your gift, my friend. Jane advised me, since I am still uncertain of your strange customs here on Midgard." The archer laughed as he lifted the lid. Several stacks of Kit Kats sat inside.

"Chocolate must be a thing with secret agents," Tony mused.

No one understood why Coulson was laughing until Bruce opened his gift. He had received bags of M&M's. As everyone else began to chuckle, the doctor protested. "Hey! The Other Guy likes these and so do I!"

There were several moments of silence until Steve said, "So, my gift is a little... unique." His teammates turned, intrigued. "I pulled my own name, and everyone else had already picked their slips, so I couldn't really swap it. I got gifts for everyone instead."

He handed the first gift to Bruce. It was several crossword books. "I saw you finishing one of these the other day, and you mentioned that was your last one."

"Thank you. It calms me down."

The next one was Clint's. Inside his box were about twenty new arrows. "You tend to run out of them a lot."

Clint chuckled. "Thanks, Cap. You guys know I can use 'em."

Steve grinned as he gave Natasha hers. She received several pairs of fuzzy socks. "Don't deny it, I know you have love these." The female assassin smiled back.

"Thank you, Steve."

"Now, Tony, your's was difficult. You can buy anything you want at anytime. As Clint said, something money can't buy." Tony's eyes grew wide. There was a portrait of Pepper. Anyone looking at it could tell she was gazing at Tony. Her expression was one of fond amusement.

"Cap - Geez, I don't even know what to say... Thank you."

"And I couldn't leave you out, Pepper, so here." It was another portrait, only of Tony. His eyes held such love, that one could not doubt that he was looking at his girlfriend.

"Steve! And look, Tony! If you hold them side by side, they are looking at each other!" Pepper kissed Steve on the cheek. "You're so sweet! Thank you!"

Steve bowed his head in acknowledgement as he handed his gift to Thor. "I had the same problem that Bruce did. What do you give someone who has their own kingdom? I thought this might be appreciated, though." The God of Thunder laughed as pulled out another rubber duck and the rest of the Avengers groaned.

"Thank you, Captain! These intrigue me."

"And last," said Steve. "But certainly not least, Agent Coulson." As Coulson opened his gift, he grinned, even as his eyes grew round. Inside, were all of the vintage Captain America cards, not a single missing, and each of them signed by the man himself.

"Captain... Steve... Thank you!"

The super soldier shrugged. "You're last ones were covered in blood, so I figured I might replace them. And why not sign them while I'm at it?"

Everyone stared in awe of their gifts until Clint said, "But Cap, what about you? You didn't get a present."

Steve smiled. "I don't mind. When you guys are happy, I'm happy."

His teammates glanced at each other and nodded. They would each get him a gift before Christmas passed. The super soldier saw the looks and smiled once more. He loved each member of this strange family and would give them anything they asked for as long as he drew breath. After all, that's what Christmas is about, isn't it? Giving to the ones you love without expecting anything in return.
