Apartment Above Stark Industries, Wednesday Night

[heroic_jawline]

Steve had been slightly delayed on his return home by angels, boulders, and sharkicanes, which was why he was sweaty, bruised, and smelling like peppermint. "Tony?" he called out as he came through the door. "You here?"

[OOC: For that guy!]

You know. Normal stuff!

"Here!" Tony was, like a sane person, watching the insanity from a safe spot. Mostly because he'd gotten hot cocoa in the joints of the armor and boy was that a mess and a half. But whatever.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve came in closer and gave him a quick kiss. "Do you smell like chocolate?"

[imafuturist]

"Mint chocolate," Tony said after a moment. "Shower. Pipes are fine today."

Thankfully.

[heroic_jawline]

"That's good," Steve said. "I need one after being out there with the...boulders of almond stuff."

Why. Why so much marzipan, Fandom.

[imafuturist]

"And the sneak candy canes," Tony added. Which he disliked much more than the marzipan. Which was basically sweet playdough made of almonds.

[heroic_jawline]

"Starlight was out there blasting them with her hands," Steve said. "Did you try with your gauntlets?"

[imafuturist]

"My gauntlets are now being deep cleaned from all the sugar inflicted on them." Space slime? Sure! Sugar? Hell now!

[heroic_jawline]

Steve wrinkled up his nose. "Sorry to hear that. At least I'm here now and the shield isn't that sticky."

[imafuturist]

"Don't let the dog lick it," Tony warned. Because he would. Oh, he would.

[heroic_jawline]

"Oh, that's a good call," Steve said. "Maybe I'll go hose it off in the shower, just to be safe."

[imafuturist]

Tony smiled at that, kissing him one the cheek. "Doesn't look like we're going to be able to celebrate you being home with takeout."

Well, they could. But they cared too much about those poor delivery people.

[heroic_jawline]

"Yeah, I don't think we can tip enough to get them to jump the chocolate lava pit," Steve said.

No, he hadn't looked at their joint bank account just yet.

[imafuturist]

Maybe save it for when he was alone and no one could hear him shriek?

"I'm sure we can manage to get something together." Frozen waffles.

[heroic_jawline]

"Do we have any bagels?" Steve asked hopefully.

[imafuturist]

"We do," Tony said with a laugh. "Out of cream cheese, but we can figure it out. Maybe shamefully turn them into pizzas."

[heroic_jawline]

"I won't tell if you don't," Steve said, kissing him again. "Hi. I missed you."

[imafuturist]

Tony tugged on the chocolate splattered mess of Steve's uniform to kiss him back. "Miss you too, sweetheart."

[heroic_jawline]

"Well, I'm here now, just in time for the weekend," Steve teased, "which I'm sure will be completely uneventful."

[imafuturist]

Tony snorted, resting his forehead on Steve's shoulder before strongly regretting it. Now he had chocolate smudges.

"Well. You can tell your team that you're keeping your training up."

[heroic_jawline]

"I'm very good at dodging boulders, it turns out," Steve said, laughing.

[imafuturist]

"Try not to get squished taking the dog out," he teased dryly. "He very bravely savaged a candy cane before I had to drag him away from a chocolate lava pit."

[heroic_jawline]

"Well, he does live with two Avengers," Steve said, grinning. "He's just pulling his weight."

[imafuturist]

"Avenger Pup, huh?"

[heroic_jawline]

"Exactly," Steve said, unzipping his uniform. "How'd chocolate get down into here?" he complained.

[imafuturist]

Tony just laughed and pushed him gently. "Go shower. If you're lucky, we can figure out what else to do with the chocolate."
