Apartment Above Stark Industries

[heroic_jawline]

It was Tony's birthday, so Steve had splashed out by getting delivery from Delmonico's (a restaurant so old and posh that it had been around even longer than him): porterhouse steaks, crab ravioli, and a giant thing of fried onions because Steve had been hungry when he'd placed the order. And a baked Alaska because it sounded very fancy to Steve, placed safely in the freezer to be set on fire later.

He glared down at his feet. "Patriot, I love you, but not enough to feed you Tony's porterhouse. Back off."

The puppy was undeterred. Surely if he looked cute enough, he'd get a piece?

"Tony! Dinner!"

Steve smiled at him. "Hold you up and helpless--"

[imafuturist]

Was that a shiver of anticipation? Why yes, yes it was. "That's an interesting plan."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve kissed him softly. "Finish your cake first?"

Because Steve had a Thing about wasted food.

[imafuturist]

"Yes, dearest." He was lucky the food was so good.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve reached for their plates and forks, then offered Tony a bite.

[imafuturist]

Tony smiled and opened his mouth to allow Steve to feed him a bite. Because that's the couple they were.

[heroic_jawline]

At least they weren't in public with their schmoop? "It's almost finished," he said, kissing Tony after the bite was gone.

[imafuturist]

Small favors!

Tony chuckled, kissing him back. "You taste like chocolate."

[heroic_jawline]

"So do you," Steve said. "And it only smells a little like burning any more."

Win!

[imafuturist]

"Nothing sexier than burned hair," he teased dryly.

[heroic_jawline]

"Well, when it's your burned hair," Steve tried, then made a face, "still no. Sorry."

[imafuturist]

"Nope," he agreed with a laugh. "Hey, do you think your hair will grow back at a faster rate?"

[heroic_jawline]

"Probably," Steve admitted.

[imafuturist]

"That's hardly fair." Like. At all.

[heroic_jawline]

"I know," Steve said. "Sorry."

[imafuturist]

"Next time I'm using you as a shield," Tony decided after another bite.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "Fine. Are you going to throw me?"

[imafuturist]

"Depends on if I'm in the armor or not." One was more likely to happen than the other.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve snickered. "I want to see you throw me when you aren't in the armor," he decided.

[imafuturist]

"It won't be as far, but I'll give it my best try," Tony replied.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve kissed him on the mouth. "I appreciate that."

[imafuturist]

Tony hummed, enjoying the kiss for a moment. "Nothing gets you going more than being thrown, huh?"

[heroic_jawline]

"Well, it's up there," Steve admitted with a wry smile.

[imafuturist]

"Oh, baby. Oh, baby," he teased.

[heroic_jawline]

"Brat," Steve teased back.
