Chapter 2
["Candy Cane Lane" by Sia playing ]
Trudy:....so surprised when he saw all those presents under the Christmas tree and she was one of them. Now, this house was originally owned by Herbert Flackshaw. Who started this tradition on Candy Cane lane. He even hired his nephew Otis to play Santa Claus for many years until he was arrested for child endangerment in 1992.
Oh you guys got to look at this house.This house is the site.......
"Hey! Are you having fun?" Steve asked, looking at Tony who was walking beside him holding hands.
"Are you having fun?" Tony asked.
Laughing Steve replied, "yes, I think this is nice."
Tony went along with it. "It is, yeah."
Steve looked at him with the realization and said "Oh god no. You hate it"
Tony replied laughing, "No,I don't hate it, baby. I'm just not a huge Christmas person"
Steve groaned and said, "I know....I know, but how can you not like the… lights and decorations and the Christmas trees?"
In front they heard Trudy saying, "Fun fact: Did you know the Christmas trees are responsible for an annual average of four deaths,15 injuries and a loss of $12million?"
Tony gave a smirk at Steve. Steve pulled Tony and chuckled, "okay, I get it. I think you made your point."
"Thank you for trying to get me to like Christmas. I love that you tried.” Tony said only to be stopped by Steve gasping at something he saw.
"Come with me," Steve said as he pulled Tony across the street.
"Wait, where are we going? Do you know these people?" Tony asked while Steve kept pulling him towards a house.
"No,come here," Steve said, whispering.
Tony grunted and followed Steve, still not knowing what was happening.
"Will you just be quiet and follow me, please?" Steve said and then he started climbing the pipes of the house. They climbed to the roof of the house and looked at the city lights sitting there and Steve sighed and said,"Well does this do anything for you?" Steve asked while looking at Tony.
“This is beautiful." Tony said awed.
Steve took Tony's hand and said, "I hate that you're gonna be alone on Christmas. I'm gonna miss you."
"Hey, I'm gonna miss you too."
"We could just stay up here."
"I could do that," Tony chuckled.
Then suddenly they heard a woman saying from downstairs, "Hey I can hear you up there and I'm calling the police."
"Tony!" Steve said concerned, when Tony took off running and leapt off the roof.
"Steve!” Tony yelled.
"Are you okay?" Steve asked.
"Um…” Tony huffed while hanging on the window, "I don't know....uh,what do I do?"
"Stay there,I'm gonna get you down."
"Okay, yeah" Tony said, still holding on to the window.
"Shit." A voice suddenly said.
"Ugh..." Tony said while looking at the woman that was staring at him through the window.
"What are you doing down here?" The woman asked.
"Steve, a little help" Tony said while looking down.
"Are you spying? Don't you dare spy at me." The woman said, clearly mad at Tony.
"Oh God", Tony yelled before falling down.
"Tony!" Steve said worried. "Are you okay?"
"I'm great," Tony said as he tried to stand up.
"Here,come on," Steve said, lifting Tony," She's coming back, run!."
"Oh hey, you better run", the woman yelled from behind.
They stopped between an ally and rested in the wall of a building.
Tony looked at Steve and then kissed him slowly and passionately before bursting out laughing in each other's arms.
Steve sighted looking at Tony's eyes while holding his neck, thumb brushing alongside Tony’s cheeks. "Come with me."
"Where?" Tony asked breathlessly.
"To my parents' house for Christmas?"
"Oh really?" Tony asked surprised, "I can entertain myself in the workshop."
"I’m sure you can take a break. I want to wake up with you on Christmas morning. And if that doesn’t convince you to love Christmas, I'll never bring it up again."
"Deal," Tony said, before capturing Steve's mouth again and holding him close.
