Tony's Lab [Avengers Tower But Make it Bitty, Thursday Night]

[heroic_jawline]

Steve hadn't gone back to Manhattan for the good Chinese food but he was definitely using dinner to bribe Tony out of the lab again. He poked his into the lab and held up the bag of Thai food. "If you want any of the chicken satay, you need to put your work down for ten minutes," he said, smiling. "Patriot smelled the peanut sauce and is getting very pushy."

"It's a comfortable day," Tony said, going in to wrap his arms around Steve's waist.

[heroic_jawline]

"Bad news about it being day still," Steve teased, kissing the top of Tony's head.

[imafuturist]

"...is it still Wednesday at least?"

Oh, Tony. Tony, no.

[heroic_jawline]

"Noooo," Steve said slowly. "It's Thursday."

[imafuturist]

"I knew that." He did not, in fact.

[heroic_jawline]

"Of course you did," Steve said with a fond smile.

[imafuturist]

"Food?" Tony suggested, going for the easy distraction.

[heroic_jawline]

"Food," Steve agreed. "But let me go take a three minute shower first. You can get started, I'll be right back."

He kissed the top of Tony's head. "Don't eat all the satay."

[imafuturist]

"One piece counts as saving some for you, right?" Tony asked with a grin.

[heroic_jawline]

"Some means more than one," Steve told him.

[imafuturist]

"Fine, fine," Tony muttered. "But I'm also making a pot of coffee."

[heroic_jawline]

"I'd be surprised if you didn't," Steve said. Experience made him add, "How many pots have you had today?"

[imafuturist]

"Not that many." By his count.

[heroic_jawline]

"Do I need to ask JARVIS?" Steve asked.

[imafuturist]

"Don't you have a shower to take?"

[heroic_jawline]

"I can ask JARVIS and shower at the same time," Steve said. "Will I be disappointed by the answer?"

[imafuturist]

"Fine, I'll drink water," Tony said like it was a punishment and a crime against God to do to him.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve leaned in to steal a kiss. "I love you."

Subtle reinforcement of positive choices, Tony!

[imafuturist]

So long as he didn't ring a bell when he did it.

"Love you too," Tony grumbled.

[heroic_jawline]

"I'm listening to your words and not your tone," Steve said with a grin, heading for the shower.

[imafuturist]

"I'm eating all the springrolls," Tony called after him even though he would only have two.

[heroic_jawline]

"If that will make you feel better!" Steve called back, laughing.

[imafuturist]

Tony grumbled a little more, but dutifully got himself water to hydrate like a real human being. And he turned out to be hungrier than he realized once he got into the food.

Sorry, Steve.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve came back into the kitchen in a sleeveless undershirt and a pair of Stark branded sweatpants because two could play the same game. "You were hungry," he noted with a small smile.

Almost like Tony hadn't stopped inventing for a few days or something. Weird.

[imafuturist]

"You look good."

And aaaall for Tony.
