Apartment Above Stark Industries, Saturday morning [Oh God, so early]

[heroic_jawline]

The sun was barely peaking up over the horizon when Steve popped up out of bed. "Tony," he said, shaking him awake. "Tony, Tony, Tooooony."

Steve was even more of a morning person when he was nine! Good luck with that, Tony.

It would be a new layer of weird to have Tony know Sarah Rogers like Steve knew Howard Stark.

"I would only be so lucky."

[heroic_jawline]

"She would like you," Steve said, nodding.

[imafuturist]

"You think so?" Tony asked as he finally got his life nourishing coffee

[heroic_jawline]

Steve nodded. "You listen," he said earnestly. "And you know how to make bacon."

[imafuturist]

Tony smiled at that. "The bacon is the important part," he said, stealing a piece.

[heroic_jawline]

"That one was mine!" Steve said, laughing.

[imafuturist]

"See, you need to put your name on it so I don't make that mistake," Tony chided with a little grin.

[heroic_jawline]

"How about if I do this instead?" Steve asked, reaching over and licking two of the pieces. "Bucky taught me that!"

Of course he had.

[imafuturist]

"I am so unsurprised by this," Tony said. Because he so wasn't.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed, chomping happily on his first piece of bacon. "You know Bucky?"

[imafuturist]

"I know Bucky," he confirmed, leaning back against the counter and sipping his coffee. "We could see if he's around this weekend if you want."

[heroic_jawline]

"We should save him some bacon," Steve decided.

[imafuturist]

"We can also bring him donuts." Because he would shove food at two Great Depression urchins. So help him.

[heroic_jawline]

"Maaaaybe there will be bacon and donuts together," Steve said, eyes lighting up.

Original Brooklyn hipster.

[imafuturist]

He really, really was and it was precious.

"You know what. I think we might be able to swing that."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve beamed at him. "You're the best."

[imafuturist]

Tony snorted, leaning over to ruffle his hair. "I'm okay."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve frowned at him. "You're better than just okay," he said earnestly.

[imafuturist]

"Only in the eyes of important people," Tony replied. Because Steve was precious at any age, really.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve sat up taller in his chair and puffed his chest out a bit. "You think I'm important?"

[imafuturist]

"I know you are," Tony said with another hair ruffle.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve batted at his hair. "Hey."

[imafuturist]

It was just turnabout!

"Might want to brush your hair before we go anywhere."

[heroic_jawline]

"To find Bucky?" Steve asked eagerly. "Or to go exploring?"

[imafuturist]

"We could do both of those things."

And it would involve shoving more food at Steve.

"But we'll need to find you a jacket."
