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.

"You're one who picked it out," he teased back.

[heroic_jawline]

Because he hadn't seen the price. "I did!" Steve said, pleased with himself. "Go me."

[imafuturist]

"You did good," Tony agreed, kissing him on the cheek.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve beamed. "Thank you, sweetheart."

[imafuturist]

Tony kissed him again, only pausing once his stomach rumbled, reminding him of the pizza they'd abandoned for this.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "We did get interrupted."

[imafuturist]

"We did," Tony said with a laugh. "Think it's cold?"

[heroic_jawline]

"Probably," Steve said. "We took our time."

[imafuturist]

"It's still pizza." Tony said that now. When the offered pizza was not yet Papa Johns.

[heroic_jawline]

"It's still pizza," Steve agreed. "Am I getting up to get it?"

[imafuturist]

Tony made a face before forcing himself up with a stretch. "We'll both go. I think we need pants for this."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve made a sound suspiciously close to a whine. "I don't want to wear pants."

[imafuturist]

Tony laughed as he snagged Steve's abandoned pants for himself. "Well, I'm chilly."

[heroic_jawline]

"I was keeping you warm," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"Better keep that up then," Tony replied, letting go of the pants like he was challenging Steve here.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "Naked cooking will probably end badly."

[imafuturist]

"Cold pizza it is then," Tony said, making a beeline for where they'd left the boxes.

[heroic_jawline]

"I knew you were a genius," Stee teased.

[imafuturist]

"We should have picked up coffee too," Tony said because he somehow saw zero problem with that combo.

[heroic_jawline]

"With dinner?" Steve laughed.

[imafuturist]

"Yeah, extra energy, you know?" You're insane, Tony.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve kissed him on the nose. "You're amazing."

[imafuturist]

"It's just thinking ahead!" Tony said around a slice.

[heroic_jawline]

"You always are," Steve said fondly.
