Apartment Above Stark Industries, Sunday Afternoon

[imafuturist]

Tony had started the day working on some coding with the television on in the background to provide a little noise. And to make it seem less weird that he was mostly just staring at a tablet and coding with his brain. But whatever.

But that somehow turned into watching the background noise. Which turned into 'I could do that' after a few episodes.

And that would be why Tony had a fine dusting of either flour or confectioner's sugar turning his hair a bit grey as he frowned down at the collection of ingredients.

"I have a masters in chemistry, this shouldn't be so difficult," he grumbled to himself.

Stupid Great British Bake Off.

[Mostly for the housemate! GBBO owns many souls.]

"Yes, mom," Tony teased, leaning just a little into him.

"I'd mess up your hair right now but there's not much worse I can do to it," Steve teased back.

[imafuturist]

Oh sure, just point that out again.

"You are such a little shit," Tony grumbled, moving a hand up to take advantage of Steve's vulnerability to mess hishair up.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve just laughed. "Most people never catch onto that."

[imafuturist]

"Most people are idiots," Tony replied with ease.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve shrugged and tugged Tony back towards the wreck of a kitchen. "Maybe," he agreed.

[imafuturist]

"Definitely," Tony corrected, going easily.

[heroic_jawline]

"Well, we all can't be as smart as you," Steve said teasingly.

[imafuturist]

"Flattery will get you everywhere," Tony informed him, going to investigate the damage to the cabinets.

[heroic_jawline]

"Where am I trying to go?" Steve asked, picking up the wreckage of the microwave.

[imafuturist]

That was a very good question. "I will let you know when you get there."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned at him. "Good," he said. "Hate to go anywhere I'm not welcome."

[imafuturist]

Well, thank god other him had gone for a modern kitchen with more metal than wood. Most of this would be perfectly fine after it dried.

"You always have a place here," Tony said in a completely off-handed manner. Like it was such a given that it didn't even warrant more than that.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve turned around, biting his lower lip. "Thanks, Tony," he said, sounding far more touched by that than it probably merited.

Tony Stark: Building A Home For Misfit Superheroes Since 1968.

Tony smiled in his direction. "Maybe keep me from blowing up the things we need to reheat food next time, though."

"I'll do my best," Steve promised.
