"Tony, where does this go?" Natasha asked, holding a brightly coloured, flashing reindeer in her arms.
"In the corner, Nat." He answered, ticking the reindeer off his list of decorations. In the Stark tower, Christmas was a very serious business. "Good job on the lighting, Bruce! Oh, wonderful! Keep going Jane!" He sang, marching around the room.
Everyone, except for Elizabeth, was busy at work preparing the decorations. Steve was hanging candy-canes on the christmas tree, revealing the OCD side to him. Clint was stringing gold and red tinsel from the walls. Maria and Fury were putting up one of ten mini trees around the place. Thor was helping Jane with the baubles and Loki was given the job of baking the brownies. Whoever game him that job either deserves a medal or a death sentence. It was hilarious yet awfully annoying.
"Steve, they look fine!" Natasha laughed, taking his arm as he stood back and studied his tree.
"But... this side... it's got a few too many!" Steve said.
"Steve!" Natasha said, forcing him around to look at her, "It looks perfect." And with that she kissed him.
"If you're done snogging each. other's faces off, would you like to get some work done?" Tony asked. The couple quickly parted, both blushing bright crimson.
"You mewling..." Loki whispered, trying to prise the sticky cakes out of their tin.
"Brother, mind your language."
"But..."
"Hey, hey! No arguing!" Pepper said, running over to help Loki.
Eventually, all of their work was complete and Stark tower was a beacon of festive cheer.
For now.
