Abi's P.O.V.

"You carry those three and I'll carry these three." Clint said to me.

I nodded and lifted the boxes, carrying them into the elevator, we dropped them around the base of the tree and Clint opened all six boxes, putting them into two groups, one with two boxes and the other with four.

"These are for the tree." He said pointing to the two boxes.

"Okay." I said as I pulled the lids off of the two of them.

We decorated the tree and it looked amazing, all that we were missing was the star fir the top of the tree.

"Where's the star?" I asked, noticing both boxes were empty.

"It got broken last year so I had to get a new one, it's in my room, I'll go grab it." He said before walking off.

"You owe me $10." I said to Steve.

"Fine." He said with a sigh, handing over the money.

"I told you he would let me help." I said with a grin.

"He never lets anyone get involved, he flipped out last year when Tony tried to help. You're really special to him." Steve said just before Clint came back.

He handed me the star and I looked at him confused, there was no way I was tall enough to reach the top of the tree.

"How do you expe-" I started but he cut me off.

He lifted me up and put me on his shoulders as he walked over to the tree so that I could reach the top.

"Smile!" Steve called.

I turned to see him with his phone pointed at us, about to take a photo. I smiled as I reached out, about to put the star on the top of the tree and the flash on Steve's phone went off. I quickly put the star on top of the tree and Clint let me down, I was happy to have my feet back on solid ground. Steve showed us the photo, it was so cute, Clint had a big grin on his face and he just looked adorable.

"You have to send me that." I said.

Steve nodded and a few seconds later my phone vibrated in my pocket, I set the picture as the background on my phone, a smile on my face as I did so.

"I'm going to go and wrap presents, so stay out!" I said to both of them.

They nodded and I made my way to my room, dragging all of the bags out of my closet and onto the floor. I tipped them all out, putting them into piles for each person, I felt a bit bad that Natasha only had one thing but I didn't think she would have even got me anything so my guilt disappeared. I spent the next few hours wrapping presents, and as I put the last tag on Clint's present there was a knock at my door. I opened it to see Steve stood there, an embarrassed look on his face.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Do you have any spare gift wrap? I forgot to buy some." He said sheepishly.

I grabbed the rolls I had left over and handed them to him.

"That's all I have left, sorry it's not much." I said.

"It's fine, thank you so much." He said before rushing off back to his room.

I hid all of the presents back in my closet and closed the door, letting out a tired sigh, who knew that wrapping presents could be so draining. I made my way out of my room and back to the living room where Clint was sat on the couch watching TV. He wrapped his arm around me as I cuddled into his side, letting out a content sigh. This Christmas was going to be the best, that I was sure of.
