Christmas with Tony Stark - Shopping

     It was shopping time, a time where people tend to lose a part of themselves in the rush to get the last of whatever items they so desperately need. It was this reason that you preferred to stay inside and away from the crowds but you hadn't had the chance until now to get out and shop. You put your favorite sweater on and a pair of loose jeans to top off the 'I really don't want to be out here' look. You brushed your hair before putting it up and looking yourself over one last time in a full-body mirror on the closet door.

"Even in that hideous Christmas-y sweater you still look incredible." You scowled narrowing your eyes at him.

"This happens to be my favorite sweater, Stark." You grabbed your bag from your bed and stepped up to the door he now blocked.

"Where are you headed in such a hurry?" He gave you a small grin, one you did not return.

"Heading out to get my shopping done, why? Did you want to tag along?" He stepped aside and you went through and towards the door. He followed suit.

"I didn't know you knew about Christmas." He wasn't really asking more like pondering the statement out loud instead of in his head.

"I'm from England but that doesn't mean I'm an idiot. I know what Christmas is but over there we don't really celebrate it, I mean we had a sort of Christmas where we got together but we didn't really get any gifts." What you said was like blasphemy to his ears.

"No gifts! How did you survive?!" He was being melodramatic as he plopped into your car on the passengers side.

"Stark, Shut up." You rolled your eyes but you couldn't help but laugh.

By the time you made it to the shop you had been cut off twice, almost run off the road and really pretty angry. You grabbed the trolley and sighed tossing your bag onto it without much thought.

"Why'd you come along again?" You asked glancing over at Tony who was looking through some goods that lined the shelves on that particular aisle.

"Can't I spend my day with my girlfriend?" He grinned and you shrugged.

"Here push the trolley while I pick out some things from the shelves." He gave you a strange look and you sighed, "The cart, this damn metal thing I'm pushing around!"

He laughed but you weren't laughing, this was stressful, annoying, and infuriating. The people around here were much more angry than usual and it only made you feel worse. You weren't even half-way done when you started to get a splitting migraine but you couldn't help but enjoy the time with Tony. It was strange because in all the times you've been out shopping like this he never cared to come along but now he did?

"Tony?" You were facing away from him towards a shelf full of miscellaneous items when you called out to him but got no answer.

"Tony?" You looked back and in your face was a very large, very fluffy stuffed Christmas Bear. You had to admit it was adorable, with it's cute little hat and short little arms.
