Prompt: Wrong Gift

Pairing: Steve Rogers x OFC (Elizabeth)

Fandom: Marvel

Words: 756

Summary: Wrong box.

Steve was laying in bed, waiting for Elizabeth, his girlfriend, to join him. They had been together for about two years and she was the light of his life. They met when she moved into the apartment across the hall from him and, after a few months, he finally had the courage to ask her out. Two years later and he knew he had met the love of his life.

Christmas was fast approaching and he had a special gift for her, but he knew he couldn’t wait that long. He was going to propose to her with his mother’s ring, one of the few things he still held on to from his past. He wanted to make it special, make it something to remember, he was old fashion like that, but he also knew Elizabeth. No matter where or how he would propose, she would love it. He decided then that he was going to propose to her that night.

Elizabeth walked in the room, wearing flannel pjs, her hair tied up in a messy bun, and, to him, she looked as beautiful as always. She laid next to him, his arm wrapped around her shoulders, and he pulled her close. He felt her snuggling on his side and he could feel himself starting to get nervous.

They had talked about marriage and kids, so he knew it was something she wanted. But more important, she wanted that with him. Clearing his throat, he told her he needed to talk to her. Reaching into the nightstand’s drawer, he pulled the small box out and laid on his side so he could be face to face with her, seeing her smiling face looking back at him, with stars in her eyes. “God, I love this woman.”, he thought.

He started by saying that he loved her and that there was nothing that would ever change that. He told her that he never thought he could find someone that would make him as happy as she made him. He said that he had wanted to do this for a while but was waiting for the perfect moment. That’s when he gave her the box and asked her if she wanted to marry him.

Steve saw Elizabeth smile big, tears in her eyes as she said the word he was hoping and praying she would say. “Yes, yes.”, she said, hugging and kissing him passionately. They both chuckle and he then told her to opened the small box. Elizabeth opened the small box, but her reaction was not what he had expected.

For a second, Elizabeth looked confused and then started laughing. “What in the world?”, he thought, before she turned the box towards him. That’s when he saw it. Inside the box, instead of being his mother’s ring, was a pair of cuff-links that were meant as a gift for Sam. When pulling the box out, in the dark, he must’ve picked up the wrong box.

Steve got flustered, sitting up quickly, turning the light on and opening the drawer to retrieve the right box. He wouldn’t stop apologizing, telling her how sorry he was and that he had meant what he had said. Elizabeth just sit up on the bed next to him and kissed him, telling him that it was okay and that it turned out to be a funny story to tell people when they asked how he proposed.

Steve couldn’t help but smile. He felt like the luckiest man in the world for having such an amazing and understanding woman in his life. He opened the box, the right one, and pulled the ring out and placed it on her finger, telling her that it belonged to his mother and that he hoped she liked it.

Elizabeth smiled, looking at the ring, and told him that she loved it. Kissing him softly, she whispered an “I love you.” and he said the same to her. Laying back down, Steve turned the light off and pulled her close, kissing the top of her head.

He felt on cloud nine and he could feel that Elizabeth was feeling the same way. Sure, the proposal didn’t go as smoothly as he had wanted, but she was right. It would make a funny story to tell their friends when they ask how he proposed. Despite that little hiccup, he knew that he had made the right choice. He loved her more than anything and he couldn’t wait to spend the rest of his life by her side.

Day 21 - Story 1

Prompt: Wrong Gift

Pairing: N/A

Fandom: Marvel

Words: 822

Summary: Not what he was expecting.

It was Bucky’s first Christmas since he came back from the dead, so Steve wanted to make it special for him. With the help from Elizabeth, his girlfriend, he went to extensive lengths to make it so. The tree was up, decorations were placed all around the apartment and presents were placed on the floor surrounding the tree.

Steve and Elizabeth decided that it would be fun to exchange a gift before Christmas morning, just to make things a bit different, to make their own traditions. They spoke to Bucky about it and, even though he was slightly worried about having to go and buy presents, with the help of Elizabeth and Steve, he was pleasantly surprised at how fun it was to go out and interact with new people.

Steve called Bucky into the living room, while Elizabeth was in the kitchen making hot chocolate for them. It was time to exchange their first presents. Sitting on the floor, just like they used to when they were kids, they waited patiently for Elizabeth to join them.

She joined them a few minutes later, carrying the mugs and gave each one their respective mugs, before sitting on the floor beside them. They talked and laughed for a while, catching up for a moment before exchanging presents. Steve couldn’t help but smile fondly as he saw the two most important people in his life getting along as if they have known each other for as long as he was alive.

Pulling two neatly wrapped boxes from under the tree, Steve handed them to Bucky and Elizabeth. She signaled for Bucky to go first and he saw his best friend carefully unwrapping his present. Putting the paper to the side, Bucky set the box on his lap and lifted the lid. Steve was hoping Bucky would like it, but he wasn’t ready for his friend’s reaction.

Once Bucky lifted that lid, he knew that Steve had made a mistake and gave him the wrong box. A heartfelt laugh left his lips and he quickly turned to Steve to see him looking like a deer in headlights. Pulling himself together, he said that, even though he liked the color, he didn’t think that it would fit him.

Steve looked confused and lost for a moment, not sure what Bucky meant, until it hit him. He must’ve mixed up the boxes, since they were the same size, and gave Elizabeth’s present to Bucky and vice-versa. He went red as a tomato realizing his mistake, because inside of that box was a black, lacy lingerie set. Not what he had wanted to give Bucky at all.

Bucky said that he was sure that that gift was meant for Elizabeth, and seeing her confused look, he decided to lift the lingerie set by its very thin straps to show her. That sent Elizabeth rolling on the floor, laughing uncontrollably, picturing Bucky wearing it. He saw Steve turned another shade of red and he couldn’t stop laughing at his reaction.

Stuttering, Steve tried apologizing and explain the mix up, but it was to no avail. He had lost them. It took a while for both Bucky and Elizabeth to calm down, a giggle escaping now and then from Elizabeth, followed by a chuckle from Bucky. Elizabeth tried reassuring Steve that it was okay, but he was still a bit mortified at the whole situation.

Bucky told Elizabeth that, since he had opened her present, it was only fair that she would open his. Elizabeth nodded and ripped the paper from the box and opened it. Inside the box was a baseball glove and two baseballs, one of them signed by players from back when they were kids. Elizabeth smiled at the thought behind that present and gave the box to Bucky.

Taking the box from Elizabeth, he was amazed with his gift. Hugging Steve, he thanked him and promised to go out one day and play catch with him. Elizabeth hugged and kissed Steve on the cheek, thanking him and telling him that she loved her gift as well.

Steve smiled at both of them, thanking God that, despite the mix up, they both had liked their gifts. He saw Bucky trying out his new glove and smiling at the memories that it brought him. Steve knew he had made the right choice. Seeing both his best friend and his girlfriend being so comfortable with each other that, not even Bucky seeing a lingerie set meant for Elizabeth made them uncomfortable, warmed his heart.

They exchanged the rest of the gifts meant for that night and then just sat there, talking and laughing, occasionally teasing Steve for the mix up, but overall just enjoying each other’s company. Bucky looked at Steve and Elizabeth and thanked God for having such amazing friends in his life.

“Perfect first Christmas back.”, he thought, while laughing at a joke that Steve was telling.
