--

On New Years Eve, Jarvis has the living room set up for guests with chairs and pillows about with a table off to one side with various chips, soft drinks, and sweets. Music playing from a stereo in the corner.

Come dinner time the dinning room table is full of food and drink to enjoy.

Depending on when people show up, Tony can be found either in the garage messing with his kit car, or in the living room, eyeing off the snacks.

[The smoothest.]

Do you have everything protected or something? It all looks pretty fragile to me.

[Sighs. He'll take the cup from him anyways.]

Thanks.

[arrogantalloy]

The paintings and statues probably have charms on them, especially for my inevitable house parties when I'm vaguely older. But as for everything else? well it's all turn of the century muggle design and engineering.

Because you can't beat well made things when it comes to muggles.

Speaking of muggle things. Your christmas present is under there.

[Tony gestures to the 10 foot immaculately decorated tree. The only presents still under are things for the bitties. While a couple of boxes are much larger than others, Steve's is a simply decorated, but comfortable size box for any normal person at least, and waits patiently with it's contents for the person who's name is on the tag by the trunk. The shirt itself is far too big for Steve, but as Tony bought it with intent for Steve to wear it, he got it so he could grow into it.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony snerks.]

It's a muggle candy dispenser.

[He comes over and taps the box where it says 'Automatic Candy Dispenser'.]

You put the candy in the top, and batteries. Well I already did the battery part for you. And then you wave you're hand under the spout, and candy comes out and into your hand.

It's the muggles own little version of 'accio candy'

[patrioticspells]

[Steve shakes his head, taking a sip of soda.]

You have a very, very strange obsession with muggles.

[He looks at the tree, wary. It's twice as tall as he is, and he's pretty sure if anything happened (like a wild, runaway Thor or if Bruce got pissed off) it could crush him to death. He's relieved when the box marked for him is comparatively small, and he can't hide the way his face lights up when he opens the box.]

Oh, wow.

[arrogantalloy]

Okay so, I know the team is in New York now, or something. But I thought you like baseball and you're from Brooklyn so it works.

[He drinks more of his soda]

And I got it big on purpose.

Also, it's an appreciation, not obsession. And it's not strange, at least to me, it's just strange because you're a muggle and are used to all this.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Well so far, there's a body found in a closet and a man having an affair.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Have you been reading issues of Witch Weekly? I can't believe you said something so cheesy.

[She gives him a side hug and continues opening.]

Thanks Tony, I'm going to wear it tomorrow.

[arrogantalloy]

I just listen to a lot of muggle television.

[He smirks, and gives her a vague hug in return.]

You better wear it, it took Jarvis and I ages to find something that would work for you.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Well don't compare bad muggle television to Clint and I, because we're not going to be like that.

[She holds up the rest of the outfit.]

I'll make sure to thank him before I leave. You guys did good.

[arrogantalloy]

I don't just listen to bad muggle TV. Well... Coronation street.. But I think in this case you're more like Home and Away or Holly Oaks, at least that's closer to your age.

[He raises an eyebrow at her.]

I get a squeal and a hug for a hat, but just a 'did' good for an entire outfit? The hat was the second cheapest thing you got, here.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Well don't compare us to anything. We're going to be friends, and it's just going to be awkward for a while.

[She leans over and gives him a kiss on the cheek.]

The good was in general, and I have a soft spot for hats. I have a good starter collection.

[arrogantalloy]

Good luck with that. I mean that one.

[He smiles at the kiss.]

Well, if this is what I get for adding to you collection, maybe I should take you to Oxford Street when we go home, Kensington too.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Thanks. I plan on letting him shoot an apple off my head to break the tension.

[She puts the hat on.]

No, this is good enough, though next year you can let me pick one out.

[arrogantalloy]

Well at least I know he can actually manage that one.

That's why I said 'take you'. This way you get your pick of hats... Clothes and shoes, and I get to watch you try them on, really, it's win-win. Now. pose for me.

[Tony pulls a phone from his pocket, opening his camera app and pointing the lens at her while looking at the screen.]

I'd say 'look cute' but that's a given.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Well take me next Christmas. If I have two new ones so close together I won't know which one to wear.

[She gives the camera phone a big smile.]

I got you something too. [She pulls out a small box with a book of hand made coupons to use, like "one free kick Natasha out of the room" coupon.]

[arrogantalloy]

There's more than one day in a year. you'll have more than one chance to wear things I get you.

[He snaps a few shots then shows her them.]

You did?

[He leaves his phone with her as he looks through the coupon gift, looking really pleased with it.]

This is. Cute.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

I know that, but I wouldn't want to favor one more than the other.

[She starts going through his phone.]

You like it?

[arrogantalloy]

As long as you're wearing what I've got you, then I'm not going to be too worried about what you favour.

[He doesn't seem to mind, most of the photo's are of cars, a few of the other bittyvengers, as well as the odd anonymous girl.]

Yeah, you know, I really do.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Well you can bet that I'm showing this off for the next little while.

[Hello odd anonymous girl, you're not known to Natasha.]

Who is this? Are you replacing me with a different red head?

[arrogantalloy]

Well, good. I like the idea you're going to get some mileage out of it.

[Raising an eyebrow, Tony looks at the phone staring at the image.]

Um, no idea. But that looks like it was at the Guggenheim. So that could have been any number of parties that I had to attend, probably a young achievers function or something.

[He shrugs dismissively.]

[brothor]

ASTOUNDING! [He can't not yell that and he's shuffling to get it out of the box so he can fiddle with it. Here's hoping he doesn't break it.]

A most excellent present, Stark. But you should know, my affections are not won so easily. [He waggles an eyebrow. In jest, of course.]

[brothor]

[Thor cocks his head to the side, staring at the screen.]

That sounds absolutely terrifying. [And now he's hooked, going zombie eyed at the screen.] Is that his wife or his mistress?

[arrogantalloy]

[He chuckles a little.]

What can I say, I now how to impress when I want to.

[patrioticspells]

Brooklyn is a part of New York. [Snort.

He holds the shirt up to himself, smiling at it.]

I'll be sure to let you know when it fits.

And I suppose that's fair enough. I'm sure you'd feel it's strange if I kept talking about wizarding things like they were something completely alien.

[brothor]

So I can see. Perhaps I should be less skeptical of you!

[He smiles for a moment.] Ah! I brought something for you too! [He would have forgotten if this hadn't happened.]
