Avengers Mini-Tower, Sunday afternoon

[heroic_jawline]

Steve knew that this day was tough for Tony and that was why he'd left him to his own devices for a few hours to bang around in the lab and get some of those emotions out. He'd also sent a card up to the Tony of his universe up in New York: with Rhodey temporarily out of commission, he didn't want Tony to feel alone or forgotten about on Father's Day. (It turned out that no one made a "sorry the guy I know in the war turned out to be a huge disappointment as a father but I think you're swell" card. Steve hoped a "Thinking of You" and a bottle of the midend (for Tony) Scotch that he like conveyed the same sort of thing.)

Steve was up in the gym trying to get the hang of riding on the jetpowered rollerskates Tony had made for him. He turned too sharply as he ran out of ballroom floor, hit the ground hard and winced as his shoulder did something it shouldn't have. "JARVIS?" he called from the floor. "Can you ask Tony to bring up the first aid kit? But first be sure to tell him I'm not that hurt."

"We have a hot tub and a cheese fridge," Steve countered.

[imafuturist]

"Much too humid for a hot tub right now," Tony replied, wrapping his arms around Steve once they were in the elevator.

[heroic_jawline]

"But it's never too hot to appreciate the cheese fridge," Steve said with a laugh.

[imafuturist]

"Easy for you to say," Tony replied. "You can eat half the fridge."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "I'm sorry your stomach turned middle aged."

[imafuturist]

"You are cruel," Tony whined. "I'm not that old, right?"

He very, very much was.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned and kissed him. "Of course not."

[imafuturist]

"Good." Let him live in delusion.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve kissed him again. "Love you."

[imafuturist]

"Love you too," Tony replied, clutching at Steve's shirt a little tightly.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve kissed him again. "I'm right here."

[imafuturist]

"I know, I know." He just needed a little clinging. Because today.

[heroic_jawline]

"It's not a complaint," Steve murmured, holding Tony as well as he could with one arm.

[imafuturist]

Tony let out a little sigh and nodded. "At least we'll have food... soonish."

Since it was coming from off island.

[heroic_jawline]

"Want to find a science movie to make fun of?" he asked.

[imafuturist]

"That would be delightful," Tony replied, not letting go even as the elevator dinged to let them know they were on their floor.

[heroic_jawline]

"I thought you'd like that," Steve said, steering them towards the living room. "You can go into detail about how badly they're mangling everything."

[imafuturist]

"You can too," Tony pointed out. "You're pretty good at it now."

Tony for sure rubbed off on him there.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve beamed at him. "But I like to listen to you get snippy."

[imafuturist]

"Do you?"

[heroic_jawline]

"I do," Steve admitted. "It's funny. You're passionate and right--one of my favorite combinations."

[imafuturist]

Tony beamed, leaning in for a kiss over that. "Deal."

[heroic_jawline]

"Good," Steve said. "Pick your favorite terrible movie. Maybe with sharks."

[imafuturist]

"That one with the guy who looks like Nick it is," Tony replied cheerfully.

[heroic_jawline]

"Please," Steve said, laughing. "Sangria will only make it better."
