Notes: HAPPY TENTH DAY OF THE ADVENT CALENDAR!!! Just a little drabble set, more OT3ish fluff fluff fluff. There's a bit more on the way (and maybe some other stuff too).
Summary: Shopping and gift giving and wrapping presents... it's all really complicated, okay?
'Stop being such a grouch.'
'You hate this holiday just as sodding much as I do, Gladys.'
'Swings and roundabouts. It makes Annie happy, and that means it's worth it.'
'So it's married life that's finally succeeded in turning you into a great bloody sap?'
'Not married yet. And haven't I always been a sap?'
'You're showing it more, that's all. She'd like this, you think?'
'Mhmm - it'd bring out the colour of her eyes. That's what you want to get her?'
'Unless you think it's a bad idea.'
'Looking to me for advice - that's novel.'
'Had to happen once.'
-
'What's that you've got there, Daphne?'
'Think they call it a bracelet, Guv.'
'Ha-bloody-ha, how very funny, you smarmy-arsed git - that's not what I meant and you bloody well know it.'
'Yeah, yeah, you got me.'
'You're hoping she'll like that shiny little bauble?'
'I guess so, yeah.'
'S'nice - really nice - you sure you can afford it? Haven't approved any wage increases lately, and I know what you make.'
'Really not worried about that, Gene... I'm certain you'd help me cover the cost.'
'You're asking for a lot now, Sammy-boy.'
'Don't worry - I'll pay you back.'
'With interest?'
'With interest.'
-
'You like gift wrapping?'
'Like it? Hate it. Glad it's just the few things we picked out, there's nothing more tedious that wrapping paper and ribbons.'
'I dunno... it's not so bad...'
'Must not be, you're in such a bloody good mood.'
'I'm in a good mood?'
'Rosy cheeks. Constantly smiling. It's actually a bit sickening. I ought to make you stop.'
'Annie - '
'Annie...? Never mind... I've got it. Annie likes this sort of thing, no wonder you can't stop smiling.'
'Am I acting that obvious?'
'Absolutely, but no worries - she'd think it was charming. I know I do.'
-
'Oi - thought you'd finished your wrapping. What's that you've got there?'
'It's nothing, that's what it is.'
'If it's nothing, then tell me why you're... oh. Never mind that, then.'
'Figured it out?'
'Clever when I need to be, remember?'
'That's the truth... wait, where are you going?'
'Ah, well, nowhere... just out.'
'Right, that makes a whole lot of bloody sense.'
'Just got a thing or three more I need to pick up, that's all.'
'Oh... oh.'
'Stop grinning.'
'Right away, Guv.'
'I mean, it's nothing.'
'Of course.'
'You're still grinning.'
'Seems I am.'
'Stop it.'
'Gotta say... no.'
