Rockafeller Center Christmas Tree - NYC - Sunday Afternoon

[imafuturist]

Well, it had felt necessary to do the tourist thing and go look at the tree with the mass of people leading up to the holiday. The urge to do this was quickly passing as they were in the moment of it.

Mostly because it was too cold for Steve and too crowded for the both of them. But it was a pretty tree at least. The lone upside to the whole afternoon here.

"We can say we saw it now," Tony suggested, arm curled around Steve's and all bundled up in winter gear that was probably too expensive for where they were. Like he was just asking to be pickpocketed or something.

(Joke was on them, he never remembered to carry a wallet because why would he?)

[for the holiday slowplay!]

"You'd fit right in if you grew one," he just had to tease, reaching up to fluff up Steve's hair.

The look Steve just shot you, Tony.

"No, thank you."

[imafuturist]

Tony laughed again, tugging him along toward the promised hot chocolate. "You love me."

[heroic_jawline]

"I do," Steve said, laughing, stepping in the shop.

[imafuturist]

The crowded, crowded shop. Really, they should have known it'd be like this the week of Christmas.

"Next time I'm renting out the whole place," Tony muttered.

[heroic_jawline]

"You really don't need to do that," Steve said. "We can wait in line like everyone else."

[imafuturist]

Tony just shot him kicked puppy eyes as they were jostled by more people trying to get into the shop to line up behind them.

[heroic_jawline]

"That's not going to work on me," Steve told him, even though it kind of was.

[imafuturist]

"It's so many people," Tony said, for sure trying to look helpless and innocent here.

[heroic_jawline]

"Who all deserve chocolate as much as we do," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"Next you'll tell me I can't buy the place."

Anthony, no.

[heroic_jawline]

"Anthony, no," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"It'd be an investment!" Again, no.

[heroic_jawline]

"We're investing in two cups of hot cocoa and maybe some chocolate to take back to the staffers at Stark's," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"Fine, fine," Tony said with a loud sigh. "Buzzkill."

Also the reason why Pepper could take the holiday off.

[heroic_jawline]

"I'm being responsible," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"How much chocolate are we bringing back?" Tony asked rather than dignify that other comment with a response.

[heroic_jawline]

"An amount that will fit on the motorcycle," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"...that's limiting," Tony replied. "Unless we get it delivered."

[heroic_jawline]

"How many people are you planning to get chocolate for?" Steve asked, blinking.

[imafuturist]

"Thor is one of the people."

So. You know.

[heroic_jawline]

"You don't have to fill him up with chocolate," Steve said with a laugh.

[imafuturist]

"But it'd be rude not to!" It really wouldn't, but okay.

[heroic_jawline]

"I don't think he expects to be full from chocolate," Steve said, moving forward in the line.

[imafuturist]

"I suppose."

There would be dome massive gift baskets arriving there next week. Just massive.
