Apartment above Stark Industries

[heroic_jawline]

Steve came in--panting slightly--with the last of the grocery run. There had been a note on the calendar that helpfully told him that he and Tony were apparently hosting a cookout tonight (!) and between them, they had zero cooking skills.

...this would not change as they got older, no, but it came as more of a shock now. "Okay," he said. "I got hot dogs and buns and every kind of potato chip they had. That should be enough, right?"

Tony grinned against Steve's neck, keeping close. "'S cool. Me neither. Rhodey usually just complains I'm crampin' his style."

[heroic_jawline]

"I know I'm cramping Bucky's style," Steve said, "because he manages to have style. Don't know how he does it."

[imafuturist]

"You've got style." Nerdy style.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve snorted. "I really don't."

[imafuturist]

"Well, I like it," Tony replied, trying to sound like an expert on the matter.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve's face lit up. "Yeah?"

[imafuturist]

"It's you. Just you's pretty awesome," Tony said, looking a little shy as he waited for Steve to react to that.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve turned bright red as he smiled at him. "I think you're pretty swell, too."

[imafuturist]

Tony smiled back a little shyly before kisding him again. "I can't wait to have you meet Rhodey."

[heroic_jawline]

"Me either," Steve said earnestly. "What's he like?"

[imafuturist]

"He's the best," Tony said brightly. "Going into the Air Force after school's over."

Which did not even exist for Steve yet, but there they were.

"I'm gonna design him the raddest fighter jet."

[heroic_jawline]

"What's a jet?" Steve asked interestedly.

[imafuturist]

Tony probably went into way too much excited detail for Steve's liking, but he did give the most in depth explanation about it.

Following it up with a, "Basically the best plane ever."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve was completely into how excited Tony was about whatever he was saying. "It sounds amazing," he said honestly. "Nothin' like that at home at at all."

[imafuturist]

"That's 'cause I'll be innovating the industry," Tony said with a relieved grin now that it was clear Steve wasn't going to tell him to stop talking.

[heroic_jawline]

"Just how smart are you?" Steve asked admiringly.

[imafuturist]

"Smart enough to snatch you up." Oooo, that was smooth.

[heroic_jawline]

"Nicely done," Steve said, grinning at him.

[imafuturist]

Tony beamed back at him. "It's true, too."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve's entire face lit up at that. "Kinda hilarious you think I'm the catch here."

[imafuturist]

"You are," Tony said fiercely. "Rhodey hates everyone I date, but he okayed you."

Which meant loads to Tony.

"And you're... you're nice," he mumbled.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "Of course I'm nice." He frowned. "Are most of your friends not?"

Because he'd have a word with them, Tony. You know he would.

[imafuturist]

"Rhodey's nice?" He was a spoiled brat who was only in college because of his father's influence after all.

[heroic_jawline]

"He better be," Steve muttered protectively. Ignore the part where he was barely five feet tall and maaaaybe 95 pounds if you were being generous.

[imafuturist]

He was pocket sized! At another point in his life, Tony would be delighted to have a lap-sized Steve.

"You'll like him."
