Apartment Above Stark Industries, Christmas Eve Day

[heroic_jawline]

Steve was packing up his sweaters and a few additional gifts he'd picked up at the suddenly convenient Christmas market (after having partaken in sausages, mulled wine, and every variety of crepe he could try) and called out into the rest of the apartment: "Tony--you ready yet?"

[OOC: For ALL the SP.]

"You don't have some already?" Steve asked, leaning back into Tony's hand. "I'm disappointed."

[imafuturist]

"Nicer ones," he teased, crowding him along to the open bath. "Maybe the sort that come with a slutty Cap costume."

[heroic_jawline]

"It's got to be better than slutty Abe Lincoln," Steve said, sliding into the water.

[imafuturist]

"You're just upset you couldn't come up with one as creative," Tony replied, shedding the rest of his clothing to join Steve.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve smiled at him, slow and sweet. "That wasn't it."

[imafuturist]

"You sure?" Tony asked, beaming like that smile from Steve was the best thing in his life.

[heroic_jawline]

"Very sure," Steve said, reaching carefully for him.

[imafuturist]

Tony moved toward him, relaxing slowly into the heat of the water. "How do you like it?"

[heroic_jawline]

"The water?" Steve smiled happily. "It's warm."

[imafuturist]

"Brat," Tony murmured, settling in against Steve's side to rest his head on his shoulder and watch the snow fall from one of the windows.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve kissed the top of Tony's head. "I know neither of us are fans of cold water. This is beautiful."

[imafuturist]

"And if this doesn't warm you up enough, we have hot pot for dinner tonight." With so much extra food ordered for Steve's appetite.

[heroic_jawline]

"Not being cooked inside this pool, right?" Steve checked.

[imafuturist]

"Oh, definitely in this pool." Tony was just messing with him now.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve made a face at him. "Not really?"

[imafuturist]

"Japan's not that weird, darling," Tony replied with a peck on the cheek.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "I knew that. I was just checking."

He'd only 80 percent been sure.

[imafuturist]

"Uh huh," Tony replied, pressing into Steve's side for firmly. Like he never wanted to leave.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve smiled over at him fondly and held on a little more tightly. "You've picked another beautiful spot, Tony. Thank you."

[imafuturist]

"You need to see all that's out there," Tony replied like it was just that simple.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve leaned in and gave him a soft, slow kiss. "Does it make me a bad tourist if I still love Paris best?"

[imafuturist]

"Nah," Tony replied with a pleased hum. "Paris has some sentimental reasons too."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve was always a little cautious initiating making out in the water--he hoped Tony had noticed that in case he felt coddled and got annoyed--but he gave Tony's lower lip a nip before pulling away.

Because that mouth was especially kissable.

"That was one of the very best nights," he agreed.

[imafuturist]

It was never fun having to navigate around their issues, but Steve being willing to try was more sweet than it ought to be. You know. For a normal person.

"You make me want to move there." So he could always spoil Steve.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve smiled and kissed him again. "Nah. It's perfect for special occasions."
