Steve & Tony's Apartment, Stark Tower But 50 Percent Scale, Thursday Morning

[heroic_jawline]

Steve was trying to get out the door for his classes today, truly he was. Every time he turned around, though, he was blocked by duffel bags labeled "HOWLING COMMANDOS" or neat, compact and heavy hatboxes with "PEGGY" and "SHARON" on them. The suitcases labeled "BUCKY", "BUCKY (OTHER)," and "BUCKY (OTHER OTHER)" had already been shoved against the wall with some super-strength and he honestly wasn't sure if the giant safe labeled "NEVER ENOUGH" that was blocking the elevator belonged to him or to Tony, but either way, it wasn't moving.

So he'd retreated to the kitchen and the comfort of reheated bagels from New York and ignoring the "FOOD INSECURITY" box blocking his way to the pantry.

It was gonna be a day. He could tell.

Oh, and the 'DESPERATE FOR LOVE AND AFFECTION' bag styled after some very expensive suitcase was next to be shot.

Steve glared at the bag. "You're not desperate."

[imafuturist]

Tony leaned in to kiss him for that. "Thank you."

[heroic_jawline]

"I'm here to tell all of your bags they're wrong," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"The feeling is mutual."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve smiled. "And that's how we get through today."

[imafuturist]

"It's a plan," Tony said, offering over the gauntlet for him.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve aimed straight at 'NEVER ENOUGH' and fired, eyes narrowing.

[imafuturist]

"Feeling better?" Tony asked brightly.

[heroic_jawline]

"This is pretty cathartic," he admitted.

[imafuturist]

"You," Tony said, leaning in for a kiss. "Are more than enough. Got it?"

[heroic_jawline]

"So are you," Steve murmured.

[imafuturist]

Tony let out a little sigh, leaning into him at that. "Shooting so many of these things."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve kissed him between the eyes. "Love you."

[imafuturist]

"Love you too, sweetheart."

[heroic_jawline]

"Let's blast that thing until we can use the elevator," he said.

[imafuturist]

"Yes," Tony said, beaming at him like Steve had hung the moon.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "You really enjoy knowing that."

[imafuturist]

"I love knowing that."

[heroic_jawline]

"Is it because I'm using your tech?" Steve asked.

[imafuturist]

"Maybe seventy percent that." Oh, a percentage. How scientific.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned. "What's the other thirty?" he asked.

[imafuturist]

"Just you being here," Tony said like a sap. Ignoring the 'DESPERATELY NEEDY' bag.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve leaned in for another kiss. "You're not desperately anything," he said fiercely.

[imafuturist]

"I'm a little needy sometimes." And also weirdly stand-offish.

Like a cat.
