Merry Christmas!

[juststeverogers]

It took an awful lot of work to track down everyone and get their gifts in order, but Steve's going to be running around the Nexus giving out presents to all of his friends. Or inviting them over to his apartment. Whatever works for them!




((Stealing verity's setup--please go to the top level for your character and begin commenting as you like. Feel free to make Steve work to find you, he's got gifts for you all!))

Considering he only owns one pot and one pan, yeah. Yeah he's going to need more than that. He doesn't know these things! He's a bachelor out of time. Toast is his friend and Nana's is a several times a week trip.

"Are you going to spend Christmas with your family?" He takes a bite of his muffin, finishes, and then clarifies "Your new family, I mean."

That pause was long enough for her to get misty-eyed, but she's trying to blink it away.

"No. I don't think so. Jim doesn't like Christmas, and Clint will probably spend it with his superhero friends like usual. Which is fine." It's not entirely fine, but it is what it is. She'll deal with it.

"Aw. That's too bad. Can't imagine a guy not likin' the holidays this time of year. It's always been something to celebrate, for me." Jim isn't someone Steve's met, but he assumes the man must have his reasons.

He can't be a bad guy, if he's related to Verity.

"Not everyone has happy memories of the holidays. We'll celebrate plenty of other things together, and anyway if he did celebrate he'd have to go to the holidays parties with his crew. It'll work out in the end."

And it's not like Ver's going to be great company on Christmas. She'd rather think about what she's doing, which is packing up food to keep him fed for a day while Nana's is closed. Four of each hand pie, in case he has company, most of the blueberry muffins, and about a dozen cookies. That should keep him and whoever stops by to see him happy.

"Here you go. Think that'll be enough?"

[juststeverogers]

"That'll be enough for me for a week, easy." Steve laughs and then gives Verity's shoulder a squeeze. "I really appreciate it. Are you sure you wanna part with that much?"

And you know, it's not going to last a week, but it is way more food than he was expecting.

"I'll try to make a list of what all I DO know how t'do in the kitchen for next time, yeah?"

[brave_heart_verity]

"I'm sure. It's for eating. And it's nice to have someone to try out new recipes." He might be her little culinary guinea pig sometimes, but how bad can anything she makes really be?

"Yeah, that's a good place to start. Good thinking."
