Super Secret Meeting Spot that's Definitely Not Starbucks [Somewhere on the Mainland, Saturday]

[heroic_jawline]

Steve had reached out to Natasha (through several layers of encryption and burner phones because Natasha, at least, understood how to lay low) and was now in his very best incognito outfit (beard, jeans, baseball cap, sunglasses) with Tony (in generally the same outfit), trying to appear casual as they walked around one of those giant outdoor outlet malls waiting for Natasha to make contact.

"She said she'd drop a pin with where she is in--" Steve glanced at his watch, "--eight and a half minutes. You've got the test with you?"

He'd asked that about four times already, but he was anxious.

And they'd get things figured out. They would. They really would.

Tony pulled him into the entrance of the mini-tower with a little smile as he glanced back at him.

[heroic_jawline]

"Did we beat the pizza?" Steve asked with a smile.

[imafuturist]

"Maybe it's a busy night for them," Tony suggested.

[heroic_jawline]

"That makes sense," Steve said, leaning in to steal a quick kiss.

[imafuturist]

"Either way, it gives you time to get into something comfortable while I wait for them here," Tony replied.

[heroic_jawline]

"And by that you mean those sweatpants with the Stark logo?" Steve teased.

[imafuturist]

"They just fit you very well!"

So transparent, Anthony.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed and kissed him. "I'm glad you like them."

[imafuturist]

"I like you in them." And out of them, really.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "I've noticed."

Which was why he wore them.

[imafuturist]

"I'll have to get you a new pair for the holidays." Yes, continue dressing Steve in Stark brand clothing.

[heroic_jawline]

"It is because you keeping yanking the current pair out of shape?" Steve teased.

[imafuturist]

"No, no. Don't be silly!"

Very much so.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve kissed him again, lingering in it and sliding his finger along Tony's beard. "Sure."

[imafuturist]

"Still here for you," Tony murmured, letting the moment continue to stretch out for them both.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve kissed lower on Tony's neck. "And I know this has kicked up bad memories for you, too," Steve murmured.

[imafuturist]

"I'm fine." He was not, in fact, fine. But that was Tony for you.

[heroic_jawline]

"Tell that to someone who doesn't know you this well," Steve said, tightening his hold on Tony.

[imafuturist]

"I'll... be fine," Tony corrected. So maybe don't be shocked if you get scanned a few times, Steve. Just to make sure.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve kissed him again. "I'll help you be fine just as soon as you feed me," he murmured.

[imafuturist]

"Go get settled," Tony said, kissing him back "I'll bring it up."

[heroic_jawline]

"Don't take too long," Steve said, leaning in for a long, soft kiss before heading for the stairs to go up.

Because the elevator was silly.

[imafuturist]

"There's an elevator!" Tony needlessly called after him.

[heroic_jawline]

"I don't need it!" Steve called back, voice growing fainter.

[imafuturist]

Tony snorted and shook his head as he waited for the pizza delivery. Then he used the elevator to go up to join Steve.

Because it was there.
