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!]

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

[imafuturist]

"But it's worth it, right?" Tony said with a grin.

[heroic_jawline]

"Completely worth it," Steve said, kissing that smile.

[imafuturist]

"If nothing else, you're helping better the world." By mocking Tesla.

[heroic_jawline]

"Through Chinese delivery," Steve replied, grinning.

[imafuturist]

"Precisely!" They got each other.

[heroic_jawline]

They really did. Steve grinned at him. "So get some food and tell me more about these trucks."

[imafuturist]

"Yes," Tony said, already pulling over a design to explain the details that no one really needed to hear.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve loved when Tony got into the weeds, though. His husband was so smart.

He ate his way through probably more than his share of the mapo tofu, but made sure the boxes were close enough to Tony that he was eating while he explained.

[imafuturist]

He ate about half as much as he should while explaining it all, but that was the nature of the beast. "I've already sent over some of the plans to the company's R&D to see about implementing it."

[heroic_jawline]

"I'm glad to see you so excited about a project," Steve said earnestly.

[imafuturist]

"Well, I have some motivation here."

Rage and spite.

[heroic_jawline]

"We all know you're a better engineer," Steve said, grinning.

[imafuturist]

"Why, thank you," Tony said, leaning in for a kiss.

[heroic_jawline]

"And your haircut isn't a cry for help," Steve added.

[imafuturist]

"Oh, even nicer of you to say," Tony said, laughing.

[heroic_jawline]

"It's very true," Steve said. "You would never wear a cowboy hat, either."

[imafuturist]

"Doesn't fit my aesthetic," Tony agreed. "Maybe you could pull one off, though."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve snorted. "Pass."

[imafuturist]

"I'd find it attractive on you," Tony promised. He'd find most things attractive on Steve, though.

[heroic_jawline]

"You're easy, though," Stee said.

[imafuturist]

"Yes," Tony said with no shame. "Yes, I am."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve leaned in and kissed him. "Incorrigible."

[imafuturist]

"I do my best," Tony said, kissing him back and tasting like ginger and soy sauce.

[heroic_jawline]

"Your best is very, very good," Steve said, pulling him in closer.
