Summary: Billie takes her girl on a surprise LEGO shopping spree, letting Y/N geek out over her dream set while spoiling her with snacks, matching builds, and a secret custom gift.

The living room was quiet except for the video playing on Y/Nâs phone. She was curled into Billieâs side on the couch, one leg draped over hers, blanket tucked around them both. Billieâs arm rested loosely around her shoulders, fingers drawing lazy circles against the fabric of her hoodie, eyes half-lidded.
It was one of those days Billie rarely got. There were no interviews or meetings or shoots. Just the two of them.
Y/Nâs voice broke the quiet. âOkay, lookâlook at this part.â She said, tilting the screen toward Billie. âSee how it opens up on the side like that? Thereâs a mini elevator in the tower, and the Quinjet actually docks up top. And it comes with thirty-one minifigs. Thirty-one!â
Billie didnât even have to look at the screen. Sheâd seen the set more times than she could count. It had been Y/Nâs latest obsessionâweeks of talking about the Avengers Tower Lego set like it was a life goal. Billie had heard all about the working features, the floor layouts, the little Hulk smashing through the wall.
Still, she smiled. She always smiled when Y/N got like this.
âMhm.â She hummed, turning her head to rest her chin lightly on top of Y/Nâs âThatâs the one with the teeny tiny Ant Man?â
Y/N let out a laugh, eyes still on the build video. âYes! And thereâs a micro version of the arc reactor lab, and look atâoh my godâlook at the printing on the Loki figure, itâs so good. Like, so sick. I swear, they keep getting better.â
Billie didnât interrupt. She listened. Sheâd heard it all before, sureâbut Y/Nâs voice had this glow when she talked about something she loved. It was impossible not to get caught up in it.
For a moment, Billie just stared at her. Soft lighting dancing over Y/Nâs features, the way her lips moved around her words, eyes bright and excited even though she wasnât really expecting anyone to care this much. But Billie did. She always did.
Then, casually, like she was offering to grab snacks or something equally mundane, Billie murmured, âLetâs go to the Lego store.â
Y/N blinked. Her head snapped toward Billie like sheâd misheard.
âWait. What?â She said, sitting up slightly. âActually?â
Billie looked back to her, calm as ever, lips curling into a half-smile that always made Y/N melt.
âYeah, baby. Letâs go take you on a Lego shopping spree.â
There was a full second of silence before Y/N launched herself forward, wrapping her arms around Billieâs neck in a tight hug that knocked Billie backward into the couch cushions.
âOh my godâoh my godâI love you. I love you, I love you, thank you.â Y/N babbled against her skin, pressing kisses all over Billieâs face. âAre you serious? Billie. Youâre being serious?â
Billie laughed, arms looping securely around her waist, holding her close even as she was being smothered with kisses. âDead serious. I mean, I donât know what half that stuff means, but I know you want it. So weâre getting it.â
Y/N looked like she might combust.
She scrambled off the couch, throwing the blanket aside like it was an obstacle in her path. âOkayâokay, I need pants. And a real shirt. Whereâs myâwait, should I bring my list? Should I check the online stock first?â
From the couch, Billie was still laughing, completely content watching her girl spin into a whirlwind.
âIâll grab my keys.â Billie said, stretching as she stood. She tucked her phone into her pocket and reached for her wallet on the counterâher back card already sliding into place. âAnd maybe a bottle of water. My bank accountâs about to cry.â
Y/N was already halfway down the hall, yelling something about checking the gift-with-purchase threshold.
Billie just shook her head, smiling to herself, eyes fond as ever.
The doors to the Lego store slid open with a soft whoosh, and Y/N stepped inside like she was crossing the gates to Disney World.
Her eyes widened instantly, lighting up as color and brick-lined walls stretched out before her. It smelled faintly like plastic and dreams. Kids were darting around in every direction, hands full of minifigures, and the giant displays overhead were bright and spinning. Somewhere, a rotating Lego dragon breathed out fog.
Billie stepped in behind her, hands in her pocket, watching with a quiet amusement as Y/N took it all in.
Y/N didnât say a wordâshe just bolted.
Straight past the keychains and minifigs. Right past the Star Wars wall. All the way to the back corner where the towering, glorious box of the Avengers Tower sat proudly on the top shelf, spotlights like a sacred relic.
She reached up, grabbing the massive boxâit was easily half her sizeâand turned around with breathless excitement.
âLook, baby!â She said, holding it up like a trophy. âThey have it!â
Her eyes sparkled like she was holding treasure, staring down at the box like it was made of gold. She traced her finger over the art on the front, pointing out little details alreadyââThereâs Black Widow! And look, the Quinjet does dock up on top!â
Billie just smiled, leaning casually on a nearby shelf of architecture sets.
Y/N blinked, her arms still wrapped around the box. âI meanâitâs a lot, BillieâŠâ
âGet it.â She repeated with a little smirk curling the corner of her lips. âNo arguing.â
Y/N stared at her for a second, then slowly smiledâthen beamedâas she clutched the box tighter to her chest.
Once that was secured, she began weaving through the store again, Billie trailing behind her with an easy stride, watching her girlfriend buzz around like an excited bee.
But Y/N kept hesitating. Sheâd walk up to a setâthen pause. Walk away. Look back.
âI donât wanna go crazy.â She muttered under her breath, catching a shelf of Harry Potter builds.
Billie laughed lightly, adjusting the Avengers Tower box in her arms. âI think itâs a little too late for that.â She said. âGet whatever youâd like, princess.â
Y/N looked over her shoulder, flushed but clearly thrilled.
Meanwhile, Billie wandered off to a corner of the store she hadnât planned to exploreâsome of the Technic and Speed Champions collectionsâand stopped in front of a sleek display. The Nissan Skyline GT-R glimmered under the lights, and just beside it, a bright pink Sukiâs Honda S2000 from Fast & Furious sat with its over-the-top decals and spoiler.
Billie tilted her head, lips tugging into a grin.
A minute later, she caught up to Y/N, still gently turning boxes over in her hands.
âHey, baby.â She said, the small boxes placed on top of the larger one. âWhat if we got these too? We could build them together.â
Y/N looked up, confused. âWait⊠you want a Lego set?â
Billie shrugged, totally unbothered. âI wanna build something with you. And these look sick.â
Y/N melted on the spot. âUgh, youâre so cute.â
Billie handed her the Suki box and kept the Skyline for herself.
After watching Y/N light up, Billie glanced toward the front of the store. The tower box in her arms was heavy and kind of awkward to carry around while also wrangling whatever else Y/N might fall in love with next.
So while Y/N was already drifting toward another display, Billie headed toward one of the store employees near checkout.
âHey, quick question.â She said, nodding toward the growing stack in her arms. âMind if I make a little pile somewhere while we keep shopping?â
The employee smiled. âOf course! Right over hereâs perfectâweâll keep it behind the counter.â
âThanks.â Billie said, setting the Avengers Tower and Skyline carefully aside. âMoreâs probably coming.â
She said it casually, but the workers eyebrows raised just slightly at the hint of what was still to come.
With her arms finally free again, Billie turned back toward the storeâhands in her pocketsâand thatâs when the âBuild Your Own Minifigureâ station caught her eye.
There were bins of tiny torsos, heads, headpieces, and accessories spread out like a mini Lego salon.
Billie glanced back to make sure Y/N wasnât watching, then walked over, and knelt down.
She spent more time than sheâd ever admit digging through the parts. For her Y/N figure, she picked out a little red sweater piece, dark pants, and the closest hair she could findâmessy and sweet, kind of how Y/N looked when she was focused mid-build. She even found a tiny mug accessory and whispered to herself, She always has a mug of tea when she builds. Cute.
For herself, she picked a black hoodie torso, dark blue pants, and a shaggy black hairstyle. She found a mini mic and almost laughedâtoo on the noseâbut kept it.
She snapped them together carefully, then tucked them both into a small clear box.
She quietly walked it over to the checkout and nestled it between the other boxes in the pile, making sure Y/N didnât see.
She didnât need to know yet. Sheâd find them later. Billie knew exactly where sheâd place themâmaybe on the shelf next to the Avengers Tower, once it was all built.
They circled the store a few more times. Y/N ended up grabbing two smaller setsâsomething cozy and botanical that made her heart flutterâand then Billie was at the register, all four bagsâ worth of Lego stacked high on the counter.
Y/N stood beside her, half-giddy, half-guilty. But Billie slipped her card across the counter like she was paying for food, not a mini fortune in plastic bricks.
The cashier blinked at the total. Billie didnât even flinch.
âWant a gift receipt?â They asked hesitantly.
Billie shook her head. âSheâs keeping everything.â
Y/N blushed and leaned into Billieâs arm, smile soft, and Billie pressed a kiss to the top of her head like it was the easiest decision sheâd ever made.
The door had barely clicked shut before Y/N dropped the bags onto the living room rug, already tugging the Avengers Tower set free like it was a lifeline.
âIâve been waiting to build this for months.â She whispered, more to herself than to Billie, already starting to peel back the tape.
Billie smirked and tugged off her hoodie, tossing it over the couch. âI can tell. Youâve been home for three seconds.â
Y/N ignored her entirely, focused like a laser as she started pulling out the instructions and sorting bags into piles. Billie just watched her for a second, fondness softening her features.
She walked over to the TV and clicked through the menu until the first Avengers movie started to play, the familiar opening credits filling the space with nostalgic music. Then she ducked into the kitchen.
A few minutes later, she returned with a bowl of popcorn, a mug of tea, and Y/Nâs favorite candyâM&Mâsâsetting everything down within easy reach.
Y/N glanced up and smiled as she carefully opened bag one. âThank you, Billie baby.â
Billie leaned down and kissed the top of her head, brushing a few strands of hair behind her ear. âOf course, sweet girl.â
She didnât build yetâjust sat nearby, back against the couch, watching as Y/N sorted pieces, brow furrowed in concentration.
âYouâre so serious when you build.â Billie said after a while, a soft, amused lilt to her voice.
âIâm focused.â Y/N mumbled, not even looking up, her tongue slightly sticking out as she searched for the right piece. She places another minifig on the floor. âThis floor had the Hall of Armor, B. Look. Itâs tiny, but itâs there!â
Billie melted. Absolutely melted.
An hour or two passed before she shifted to lean her chin on Y/Nâs shoulder. âWhy donât you take a break from that and build the car with me, angel?â
âYeah, baby.â Billie stood and walked over to the other bags. She pulled out both the Skyline and Sukiâs S2000, holding the pink car box toward her girlfriend. âHereâthis oneâs yours.â
Y/N lit up, scrambling over to take it from her. âWeâre doing both at the same time?â
âWeâre racing.â Billie smirked, already unboxing hers.
Soon they were sitting cross-legged on the floor across from each other, each with their own instruction manual and pile of car-colored bricks. The tower-in-progress sat proudly between them.
Billie squinted at her manual and immediately tried to attach the wrong piece to the base of the car.
âNo, baby.â Y/N said gently, turning a chunk of the car over in Billieâs hands. âIt goes like this.â
Billie pouted. âYouâre gonna have to walk me through it like Iâve never seen Legos in my life.â
Y/N giggled and kissed her cheek. âThatâs because you build like youâve never seen Legos in your life.â
They laughed together, heads bumping occasionally as they leaned close, whispering soft jokes and giving sweet little kisses between each few steps.
Hours had passed in a haze of clicking bricks and quiet laughter. The Skyline and S2000 now sat side by side on the coffee table. The Avengers Tower was about halfway done, the top floors still waiting to be built, but their hands were tired and their backs ached from sitting on the floor for so long.
Billie stretched and stood, walking off toward the bags. Y/N watched her lazily, chin resting on her hand, until Billie came padding back with something tucked carefully in her palms.
She sat down beside Y/N again, lips curving with a secret, and said softly, âI have one more thing for you.â
Y/N blinked at her, already warm from the day and Billieâs constant sweetness. âThereâs more?â
Billie grinned, then brought her hands out from behind her back and opened them.
Y/Nâs breath caught as she gently took them, eyes scanning the tiny detailsâBillie had picked parts that looked just like them.
Y/N stared at them for a moment in awe, then slowly looked up at Billie with the softest expression sheâd worn all day.
âItâs us.â She whispered.
âIt is, angel.â Billie said, her voice hushed and warm.
Y/N held them against her chest for a second before leaning in and brushing her nose against Billieâs cheek. âYouâre amazing.â She murmured.
Billie chuckled softly, wrapping her arms around her. âOnly for you.â
Y/N melted into her chest, laying back with a little sigh, fingers still holding the minifigures gently between them. Billie kissed her temple.
Y/N closed her eyes, content. âI am.â She turned her head a little to nuzzle into Billieâs neck. âThank you for everything today, my love. Iâm so grateful for you.â
Billie smiled, voice playful and full of affection. âAnything for my favorite builder.â
Y/N groaned and giggled all at once, swatting her lightly before snuggling closer.
The room was dim now, the TV playing Avengers: Age of Ultron quietly in the background. Billie pulled a blanket off the couch and draped it over them, wrapping her arms tighter around Y/Nâs waist.
After a moment, she whispered against her ear, âYouâre so cute when you nerd out.â
Y/N laughed against her chest and tilted her head up to kiss Billie softly, with a softness that said I love you more clearly than words ever could.
