what if i wrote a little holiday bit for so tonight instead of working on the next sequel
Gale reallllllly wants to go out and get a tree from the forest behind their house to surprise John because John’s been really busy with work and hasn’t had the time to do it BUT he is also *in the festive spirit* and even though Gale’s never been one for the holidays he wants Bucky to be happy.
But. He isn’t supposed to drive and his leg is allll fucked up and sore. There’s no way he could drive into the bush and chop down a tree all on his own, right?
Buck’s nothing if not determined though, cue him actually succeeding and then John comes home to find him pleased as punch next to the tree he sourced. And he’s just sitting there. John is so happy and makes supper etc and it takes until way later for Gale to actually admit that he’s too sore to stand up and he’s stuck in his chair.
John teases him etc etc and then they both fall asleep next to the tree and the fireplace.
