Tony's Lab, Avengers Mini Tower of Dubious Sanity, Tuesday night

[heroic_jawline]

Tony had disappeared into the lab muttering about Tesla's Cybertruck after their class and Steve hadn't seen him since. Knowing how Tony got when he was in the middle of spite creating a new project, Steve had gone to see Wanda, then had headed to Tony's version of New York (with blessedly better weather) to retrieve dinner from the Szechuan hole in the wall near the Tower that Tony loved.

Maybe the smell of mapo tofu, dan dan noodles, and scallion pancakes would pull him from his engineering reverie. "Tony?" he called, coming into the space.

[OOC: For that guy!]

"You say the nicest things," Steve teased.

[imafuturist]

"You actually went all the way to Manhattan for this?" Because it was pretty damn sweet.

[heroic_jawline]

"Sure," Steve said with a shy smile. "You looked like you might need it."

[imafuturist]

Tony tugged him into a kiss for that. "I'll name the new cars after you."

Oh no. That wasn't what Steve asked for.

[heroic_jawline]

"Oh, you really don't need to do that," Steve protested.

[imafuturist]

"It'll be nice and patriotic for the military," he added.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve snorted. "Yeah, they really love me."

[imafuturist]

Tony kissed him again for it. "Help me make room for the food."

[heroic_jawline]

"Okay," Steve said, heading for a table with tools on it. "Anything over here untouchable?"

[imafuturist]

"Oh, just the left corner." It looked no different from the rest of the worktop, but okay.

[heroic_jawline]

That was why Steve asked because otherwise he'd have no idea. "On it," Steve said. "Look in the bags and see if they remembered napkins?"

And steal an eggroll because Steve knew Tony.

[imafuturist]

Oh, the eggroll was already in Tony's mouth. "Mmm?"

[heroic_jawline]

"Napkins," Steve repeated, smiling.

[imafuturist]

Tony fished around for them, pulling the napkins out to put on the now slightly clean corner of his work bench. "I love these eggrolls."

Yes, which is why Steve got them.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve's smiled widened. "I've noticed that about you."

You made happy noises when you ate them, Tony.

[imafuturist]

NORMAL NOISES.

"I used to order from this place all the time when I still lived in New York," he said with one of those happy noises.

[heroic_jawline]

"They say hello and that they miss you," Steve said, opening the bag and taking out cartons.

[imafuturist]

"I wish they opened a location here." But then it wouldn't have that dingy New York vibe.

[heroic_jawline]

"But then it wouldn't be as special when we get it," Steve said, sticking his chopsticks right into the dan dan noodle box.

[imafuturist]

"Yeah, yeah," Tony said before making another delighted noise about the scallion pancakes he found in the bag.

[heroic_jawline]

"I had to bring out the big guns to regain your attention," Steve teased.

[imafuturist]

"You always have my attention!"

Well.

"Mostly."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed and kissed him between the eyes. "I know where I rate, and it's slightly lower than these eggrolls."

[imafuturist]

"They're just really good," Tony said like it could help him here.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "I know. I have to work harder than that to get you to make happy noises for me."
