Prompt - Christmas Lights


Tony knocks lightly on the door of Steve's study/studio before entering. Steve looked up from his work and smiles at him warmly.

"You done with the living room yet?" Steve jests lightly.

He hadn't allowed Steve to go anywhere near their living room for the past couple of hours as he was putting up the Christmas Tree, he wanted it to be a surprise. Every year he tried to make a tree that was a mix of them both.

It was his job to decorate the living room and while Steve put together the rest of the house. It is was what they agreed on.

"Yes," Tony said, excitedly striding up to Steve and pulling him from his chair, "Come have a look"

Steve went willingly, led through the house behind Tony.

Tony grind proudly as they crossed the threshold into the living room.

The whole room was bathed in a soft glow from the flashing multi-colored lights on the tree. Ornaments of little robots, space ships, paint brushes and artist pallets mix weirdly on the tree but he liked it. It was a slightly more eclectic tree then he put together last year. But it was nice and homely.

If it were up to Steve, they would probably have a more traditional looking tree. It would probably look better too. He wasn't the artist, that was Steve. But he felt he did a pretty good job all things considered.

He turns to face Steve, pulling the taller man into his arms. "What do you think?" he asks.

Steve kisses him lightly on the forehead, smiling softly. "It looks wonderful"

Tony drops his head into Steve's chest with a laugh, "You say that every year," he argues lightly.

"I think everything you do is wonderful" Steve says with a soft loving smile, planting little butterfly hisses on the top of his head.

"Mmhm" he says reaching for Steve's hands again. He pulls him further into the room, maneuvering them around the couches until they are standing in front of the tree and bathed in the glow of the Christmas Lights.

Tony tugs Steve in close, dropping one of his hands in favor of putting it on Steve's waist. He started humming a song from memory, swaying them side to side. Steve laughed softly, wrapping his free hand around the back of Tony's neck, pulling them closer.

Steve kissed him leisurely, taking his time and Tony responded in kind, kissing Steve with a slow passion as they danced by the lights of the Christmas Tree.
