one for the money, two for the show ★★★ prank {wt}

[buckingham barnes]

Bucky should've known something wasn't right with the box the moment he padded over to it. It was placed conveniently at the edge of camp, and certainly not under any tree-- clearly it'd grab some attention. It seemed like an odd place for the present, along with the other boxes that sat with it. When the maine coon padded over to it, he first picked up the other boxes out of curiosity. Those boxes were really light, giving Bucky the assumption that they weren't filled with anything. Then why would they be out here? That thought ran through Bucky's mind as his gaze focused on the glitter filled box. I don't think they're decorations-- they would've had something in them to prevent them from blowing away, He began to think, as his front paws wrapped around the box with the 'from Santa Claus' note. As he lifted it into the air, the tiny two springs were released, and before he could even realize what's happening, glitter exploded everywhere.

The Helion dropped the box, stepping back as he attempted to shake off the glitter that clang to his fur. It was quite the harmless prank, despite it leaving Buckingham looking quite silly. Who did that? He thought to himself as his eyes scanned the camp, his gaze landing on Leigh. And then, his thoughts clicked-- Leigh's weekly task was to play a harmless prank, and this clearly is a prank. Leigh played him good, the unicorn didn't even look that guilty either. He looked quite innocent reading that book over there. If Bucky didn't walk in on the weekly tasks to hear Leigh's assigned task, he wouldn't have suspected it to be him. The former assassin looked over towards Leigh, a small smirk on his maw.
