Apartment Above Stark Industries, Thursday evening

[heroic_jawline]

Steve came into the apartment with a wiggling armful of dog in tow. "How do you get him to stop eating the cicadas?" he asked Tony, exasperated. "They're everywhere!"

Patriot yawned widely, then licked his lips. The dog had no regrets. Zero.

"In related news, we're not eating shrimp tonight, right?" Steve checked.

"If you can figure it out, I'm all ears," Tony said, frowning at the dog who made motions like he wanted to give whoever got close enough some kisses. Which. Euugh. "I'm ordering pizza."

Because shrimp had indeed been on the menu at one point.

[heroic_jawline]

"I'm giving Patriot a bath and a chewable toothbrush," Steve said, making a disappointed face at the dog. "Yuck."

[imafuturist]

Tony nodded in full agreement with that, rewarding Steve with a kiss on the cheek. "At least he won't be begging for food?"

He still would.

[heroic_jawline]

"He should be extremely full," Steve said with a little shudder.

[imafuturist]

"Food should be here by the time you're done with him," Tony promised.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve leaned in to kiss him, smiling. "Swell. Then I can tell you all about my crazy class today."

[imafuturist]

"I look forward to it," Tony said, laughing as he pulled away with one more kiss.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned. "Well, you love the costume so much--"

[imafuturist]

"Oh?" Steve, that was a tease! You couldn't tease him with this!

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "It's like what wrestlers wear."

Deeply unsexy.

[imafuturist]

"No," Tony said, trying not to laugh.

[heroic_jawline]

"Oh yes," Steve said. "In red, white, and blue."

It was a lot of look, Tony.

[imafuturist]

"Did you get pictures?" For science. It was for science.

[heroic_jawline]

"I brought it home," Steve said, grinning. "Let me get Patriot set up and I 'll show you."

[imafuturist]

"Oh, are you offering to wear it, sweetheart?" This was the man you married, Steve. This right here.

[heroic_jawline]

"Only if you promise not to laugh."

There was no way Tony could not laugh at this onesie.

[imafuturist]

"I would never," Tony promised falsely.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned. "Okay. I'll get it on for dinner."

Mooooooood killer.

[imafuturist]

"Get the dog cleaned up first," Tony said, pointing a finger at him.

[heroic_jawline]

"Yes, sir," Steve teased, giving him a little salute.

[imafuturist]

Tony laughed and shook his head as he put in their usual pizza order of enough to sate a super soldier.

It was possible they kept some of these businesses running.

[heroic_jawline]

It entirely possible, yeah. The water in the bathtub ran, then there was frantic scrabbling and splashing and a deeply felt, "Son of a gun, Patriot!"

So Steve was soaked.

[imafuturist]

"Love you, sweetheart!" Tony called out. Just in case Steve needed the reaffirmation.

[heroic_jawline]

"I know," Steve called back. "I'm wetter than he is!"

[imafuturist]

"How?" Tony asked with a laugh. He was so tiny, Steve!
