the master bedroom, Bucky and Steve's place;
Bucky and Steve had some alone time. They cuddled up as they discussed the upcoming Christmas holiday. London was not immune to the festive spirit that seemed to possess almost every soul this time of year. Neither was Bucky.
Him and Steve grew up with other kids of many faiths. Their orphanage would often raise money to celebrate these holidays. They made sure to be as festive as possible during these special times.
"The ornaments! I have to get them out of the attic," Steve yelped, but Bucky dragged him back to bed. "James Buchannan Barnes, let me go."
"It is almost eight at night. I am sure our neighbors will be just as urgent to tell us we woke up their children before their final lessons," his husband replied.
Steve sighed but understood the reasoning. He laid back and cuddled up with the love of is life.

a fine dining restaurant, London;
In a restaurant in London, a waiter was called to a table where a upset Tony Stark awaited. His date had excused herself to the bathroom and had yet to return. She had walked away with a ruby, that Tony had shown off.
"Dammit, I said find her!" Tony yelled. Other tables looked at him as if he was insane, but he did not care. That ruby was worth more than their lives, even his.
"Sir, I believe she is gone," a young hostess stated. Tony started to spiral, throwing down his wine glass and running out. He ignored the yells about his tab.
That ruby would buy this very building. Now, he had to find it himself. If the police found out, then his fiancee would know he was seeing another woman. No, he had to get someone else on the case. Somebody discreet.
He knew just the people.
