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.

What sort of super soldier was he? Tony would never let him live it down if he fell over. But only because it would be very, very flattering to know he caused that.

Tony exhaled sharply, holding onto Steve's waist tighter to keep him in place so he could control some of the situation. "C'mon, sweetheart. I'll treat you to something nice."

[heroic_jawline]

Yeah, Steve would never admit it to anyone else ever. Should it happen. Cough.

"Nicer than this?" Steve asked, pressing as much as he could up into Tony's hand.

[imafuturist]

"This is just the start," Tony promised, kissing a spot behind Steve's ear as he moved his hand faster to give him what he wanted there.

[heroic_jawline]

"Oh," Steve whispered, squeezing his eyes closed as he came.

[imafuturist]

Tony held on tightly to his waist, resting his forehead on Steve's shoulder as he let the shower clean them off again. "God, you're so good a this."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve's brain latched eagerly onto the word "good," and he shivered slightly. "Good at letting someone take care of me?" he mumbled. "Not really."

[imafuturist]

"Good at falling apart for me," Tony said, keeping his hands gentle as they moved up and down Steve's stomach and chest. "The rest we can work on."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve sighed heavily and tilted his head to kiss Tony's cheek. "Think I'm ready to get out of the shower, now," he said with a little smile. "You?"

[imafuturist]

"Food should be here soon," he agreed, reaching up to cup Steve's jaw so he could kiss him properly.

[heroic_jawline]

"Enough time left for me to help you out?" Steve asked a little worriedly, getting out of the shower and gesturing--well, flailing if we weren't being generous--at Tony's...ness.

He was not great at just receiving.

[imafuturist]

Tony grinned at him and went for another kiss. "You can help me out after. A little delayed gratification is good for the soul."

[heroic_jawline]

"Don't want you think I'm not appreciative," Steve murmured against Tony's mouth.

[imafuturist]

"I know you're appreciative," Tony replied, moving around so he could take Steve's hands to lead him out of the shower and still kiss him. "But I want you to let me treat you. That would make me very, very happy."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve ducked his head and smiled. "If it makes you happy...all right."

[imafuturist]

Tony beamed at him, hooking a towel around Steve's shoulders to pull him into another quick kiss. "We can talk about it over food if you want."

[heroic_jawline]

"That sounds swell," Steve said, mostly to watch Tony's smile.

[imafuturist]

'Swell' was just the sort of word that made him laugh.

"C'mon," he said, reluctantly letting go of that towel to get one for himself to dry off padded out if the bathroom. "I'm stealing your clothes."

Because it would literally never lose its appeal to.

[heroic_jawline]

"I'm gonna run out of sweatpants," Steve teased him, swatting Tony's ass as he walked nearby.

And what a tragedy that would be.

[imafuturist]

"I'll buy you new ones for me to steal," Tony said, starting a little and laughing as he moved a little faster. "You're just upset you can't steal mine without ripping them."

[heroic_jawline]

"I leave the pants ripping to Bruce," Steve agreed, grinning. "You just want to buy me pants with little shields on them, don't you?"

[imafuturist]

"It'd be cute!" That was not a denial. "I could get you some red and gold ones instead."

Yeah, Tony looked into that idea as well as he shamelessly stole a pair of sweats that might have been from SHIELD.

[heroic_jawline]

"So you'd get Iron Man sweatpants for me just so you can steal them for yourself," Steve summarized with a chuckle. "I love you."

[imafuturist]

"I'd let you wear them mostly," Tony replied. "The ones with little shields in them, however... those I'm going to steal immediately."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve leaned in and kissed him again. "I'm really good with you wearing my shield."

Slightly possessive dork that he was.

[imafuturist]

"Oh, I like when you get territorial," Tony said, biting at his bottom lip. Which was of course when the delivery guy had to ring. "Be a dear and grab that bottle of lube for after we eat?"

Yeah, Tony was super helpful in keeping Steve focused.
