Stark Tower But Shrunken, Saturday morning

[heroic_jawline]

The party had been a success, and Steve and Tony had fallen into bed and slept hard for the next nine hours.

Tony was still asleep, but Steve had woken up hungry and had headed into the kitchen on the search for leftovers. He was now surrounded by eggs, chopped up onions, leftover roasted boar, and slight wafting of smoke because the omelet pan had gotten entirely too hot. The smoke alarm hadn't gone off, but he was pretty sure JARVIS was going to tattle on him soon. He hoped he would be able to counter Tony's sleepy grumpiness by feeding him leftover cake--and strong, boozy coffee--for breakfast while he cleaned up.

"It is December here," Tony pointed out.

[heroic_jawline]

"I was hoping we'd stick to adorable ponies in sweaters," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"The place really does enjoy coming up with new things to mess with us," Tony said with a sigh. "I'll add it to the list."

[heroic_jawline]

"Are they fruitcake sized fruitcakes or car sized fruitcakes?" Steve asked.

[imafuturist]

A valid question.

"Fruitcake sized, I think? JARVIS would be a little more alert if they were bigger, I hope."

[heroic_jawline]

"Or he thinks we could handle them," Steve said optimistically.

[imafuturist]

"But it's J, he's... levelheaded." You know. For an AI.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve looked vaguely disappointed not to be able to punch car-sized fruitcakes. "That's true."

[imafuturist]

"Do you want to suit up just in case?" Tony offered.

Full on Captain America vs some fruitcakes.

[heroic_jawline]

"Kind of," Steve admitted. "You?"

[imafuturist]

"...yeah," he admitted. "If anyone asks, it's a training exercise."

Oooo, way to think ahead, Tony.

[heroic_jawline]

"Oh, of course," Steve said. "Send them up to the ballroom? That way we have to work around the trees and make it challenging."

[imafuturist]

"Let's make sure all the paintings are secure first," Tony settled on. "But I love where your head's at."

[heroic_jawline]

"I'd never forgive myself if I broke a Monet with a fruitcake," Steve admitted.

[imafuturist]

"I'll get to work on safety covers for them," Tony promised immediately.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned. "We have the best dates."

This was so much more them than Rockefeller Center.

[imafuturist]

They could manage both!

"Fighting baked goods?" Tony asked with a laugh.

[heroic_jawline]

"The chances of them stopping to monologue about defeating the Avengers is extremely low," Steve said gleefully.

[imafuturist]

"But I have a bingo card for that!" Look, it was just what you did after a while.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "Of course you do."

[imafuturist]

"Last time I almost won." He baited some of the comments, though.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve leaned in to steal a coffee-tinged kiss. "Of course you did."

[imafuturist]

Tony hummed, enjoying the kiss. "Maybe next time you can win."

[heroic_jawline]

"I have a good feeling about my chances," Steve said with a grin.

[imafuturist]

"No cheating." They'd both cheat.
