WHO Bucky Barnes & Alex Danvers WHAT Shopping for Kara WHEN Saturday afternoon WHERE Jewelry stores around MV WARNINGS TBD, probably none STATUS Closed | Incomplete
The impromptu dumplings and movies had actually worked out perfectly because he'd been able to pull Alex aside and ask for her help in getting a present for Kara. It was the big gift, the one he wanted to give her on Christmas Day, but he was struggling with exactly what it would be. He knew he wanted it to be jewelry, but he was thinking a necklace. There was a part of him deep inside that could see himself with Kara for the long haul, but with how unpredictable Madison Valley was, there was a bigger part of him that wanted to continue on the way they have been. Kara was one of the few people in his life in Madison Valley that made being here good and he intended to show her that in as many ways as he could.
He met Alex at the first jewelry store, but he arrived a little earlier so he started to browse around the necklaces. That was what he was thinking of, because he did love Kara. It was sometimes hard for him to wrap his head around because of how far he'd come since arriving nearly half a year ago, but it was good and he wanted to find that perfect gift to show Kara that he was really serious about them and their future here together. Bucky knew the moment Alex arrived and when she came up to him, he said, "What do you think of something like this?" He pointed to the necklace in question and glanced over at her to gauge her reaction. This was pretty telling about how he felt about Kara and Alex's opinion mattered in that, too.
