Stark Industries, Saturday afternoon

[heroic_jawline]

Steve came into the shop and let his shield drop to the ground with a muted clang. He wiped at the dust on his face, then squared his shoulders with visible effort and called out, "Tony? You around?"

Another lead, another fruitless Bucky search, this time in stupidly muggy Singapore. Steve needed a shower, a pizza or three, and a nap.

And a hug, but he was kind of hoping he wouldn't need to ask for one of those.

"I'm back!" he added a little needlessly.

Comments

Steve gave him a fairly unconvincing smile. "I'll be fine."

[imafuturist]

"In time, sure," Tony said with another gentle kiss.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve sighed and leaned in to rest against Tony's forehead. "You weren't supposed to see through me this fast."

He wasn't upset about it, really. It was kind of...nice, actually. Huh.

[imafuturist]

Tony smiled faintly, leaning back against him. "Want me to try again?"

[heroic_jawline]

"No," Steve murmured, pulling him close. "It's nice to be seen."

[imafuturist]

Tony brushed his fingers through his hair again. "Want to eat way too much ice cream and watch cartoons?"

[heroic_jawline]

"I really, really do," Steve said. "You at a good stopping point?"

[imafuturist]

"It'll hold until tomorrow," Tony promised. "I'm just tweaking a few things."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve leaned in and kissed him again. "I need a shower first," he said.

[imafuturist]

"Shower and I will order us some Thai food and break out the ice cream for you," Tony said with a playful little shove. "I'm sure you're starving."

[heroic_jawline]

"And that's why I love you," Steve said, smiling at him fondly and getting up off the bench. "Give me ten minutes."

[imafuturist]

"Because I feed you, I know," Tony replied, standing up as well to give him a smack on the ass. "J, sweetheart. The usual order."

"Of course, sir."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve jumped a little, then gave him a grin. "You could use a shower too."

Subtle like a brick, that Steve Rogers.

[imafuturist]

"Is that so?" Tony was okay with the lack of subtly for some strange reason. He hooked a finger onto Steve's belt to just hold onto for now.

[heroic_jawline]

"You've got a little smudge right here," Steve said, wiping at Tony's cheek.

[imafuturist]

Tony turned his head to follow Steve's hand. "Then I guess I should shower too."

[heroic_jawline]

"I'm very persuasive," Steve agreed, tugging him towards the bathroom.

[imafuturist]

Tony had to laugh at that as he followed, pleased and not mocking. "That you are."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve started the water as just a hair short of stupidly hot--he wasn't a fan of cold water for many, many reasons--and leaned back against the sink as he stripped his dirty shirt off. "I missed you," he admitted softly.

[imafuturist]

Tony took immediate advantage of Steve's bare skin, pressing a kiss against his collar bone. "I missed you too," he admitted.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve wrapped his arms around Tony and pulled him in tightly, sighing with a little bit of relief at the contact.

[imafuturist]

Tony moved one hand up to cup Steve's chin so he could kiss him again slowly. "I2ts alright. Relax with me."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve took a shuddering breath. "Sorry," he whispered, leaning into Tony's forehead.

[imafuturist]

"Nothing to be sorry about," Tony replied, kissing him again as he slowly worked on unfastening Steve's pants. "I want to help."

[heroic_jawline]

"Not really used to having someone to help," Steve admitted, working to pull Tony's shirt off, too.
