"Does she talk?"
"No. She's been mute since childhood."

CHRISTMAS MORNING CAME round quickly following the arrival of Cyndie. Gemini rubbed her eyes as she woke up. She groaned slightly as she went to get up. The weight of Bucky's arm around her stopped her from advancing. Her wriggling woke him up.
Snuggling his head into the back of her neck, he trailed light kisses along the back of neck and down her shoulder. She groaned slightly, shifting in his arm to turn and face him.
"Merry Christmas." Bucky's sleep was evident in his voice, making it very deep. He looked up to Gemini's disgruntled face. "You okay, doll?" She nodded, her hand brushing the hair out of his eyes. Nodding her head.
"I'm fine, just...sore." He nodded his head understandingly, kissing her head and apologising. "Don't be." She kissed him lightly. "Merry Christmas."
Bucky sighed, looking up to the ceiling in Gemini's room, his arm wrapped around her shoulders, pulling her into her chest. "Is your sister working today?" He asked her, Gemini shook her head. "That's an upside, especially with her job."
"Normally she is working. It's shit when it happens." She replied, drawing on Bucky's chest. He looked down to her, smirking at her absentminded doodling. She realised something, quickly looking up. "This is, one, my first Christmas with Cyndie in over five years." She commented. "And two, this is my first Christmas with the Compound with all of you."
Bucky smiled, kissing her head. "You pout when I call you cute, but you say shit that makes you fucking adorable." Gemini laughed lightly into his chest. He sighed out, going to get up but being stopped my Gemini. "We've got to get up, you know that."
She nodded, still lying under the sheets. "Can we get up in a bit? I wanna stay in here for a little while." Bucky raised an eyebrow to her, specifically her little smirk.
"Oh really?" He asked her, leaning over her on his arms. "Is that so?" She nodded her head, not breaking eye contact with him. He connected his lips to her, moving the covers away from her body. "We can do that then."

Gemini leaned on the counter in the kitchen as everyone gathered in the living room. She was waiting for her family to arrive while eating an apple. She watched as Pietro and Wanda argued over their presents they'd given each other. Steve and Sam discussed something she couldn't hear from the distance. Thor was eating one of his pop tarts happily as Bruce picked up the wrapping paper from the floor.
Bucky was watching Gemini, she seemed tired from the last few days. He couldn't explain most of the time. She seemed drained. He'd realised she hadn't been as excited for Christmas as everyone else. He was concerned about her.
"Merry Christmas you dumasses!" Theo announced the presence of Gemini's family as they entered immediately going and hugging Gemini.
