New York City, Sunday - NYE

[imafuturist]

So, a monkey wrench in the plan of celebrating the new year with Jan came in the form of figuring out how to get there. Because getting a taxi or an Uber tonight was just impossible without waiting an hour or so.

That lead to dragging Steve onto the wonder of public transportation to get them where they needed to go this evening. This evening that they were claiming was one of the coldest New Years Eve's in over a century. Which was just tons of fun all around.

Which was clearly the only reason that Tony's PDA game was strong as he held onto Steve on the back of the subway car to keep him warm and hide his face against Steve's chest a little.

It was New York, people had seen way worse.

"Next stop we just pay extra for an Uber," Tony informed him.

"Even with the subway thing?" Tony asked as the elevator dinged.

[heroic_jawline]

"It's us," Steve said simply. "Unless you made sure there was going to be a subway thing, I just chalk it up to our lives being weird."

[imafuturist]

"If I had that much control over the stupidity of people, the world would be a much different place," Tony assured him.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "I can just imagine."

Hopefully not in an Ultron-taking-over way. Cough.

[imafuturist]

Hey now, Ultron was his own entity. Of evil. Or non-human morality. Something like that.

Tony smiled and tugged on his arm to keep moving. "Although, if you thinking fighting bad guys is a date activity..."

[heroic_jawline]

"That makes me perfect for you?" Steve finished hopefully.

[imafuturist]

"Very perfect," he replied, popping up onto his toes for a very fast kiss.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve kissed him back as the doors opened up.

He gave a very faint annoyed grumble about that.

[imafuturist]

"Expect to be stolen for cuddling by Jan," Tony said with a laugh. It wasn't like he could even be jealous about it because Steve was the best cuddler and Jan needed to appreciate that.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "I'd be happy to pay some attention to our lovely hostess."

[imafuturist]

"Hopefully she won't get handsy," Tony added dryly, knocking on the door to her apartment.

[heroic_jawline]

"She wouldn't!" Steve protested. "...would she?"

[imafuturist]

Tony just gave him a completely innocent look like he couldn't answer that for him.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve narrowed his eyes at him as the door swung open.

[callmequeenbee]

The door was quickly opened by a grumpy looking Jan who looked to be alone in the place and dressed in an oversized NYU sweatshirt and sleep shorts. Because they were late.

"Why do you two smell like a dumpster?"

[imafuturist]

"Hello to you too, Jan," Tony said with a smile.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve's eyes had gone wide and guilty. "We're so sorry to disturb you if you were already asleep! We had a slightly...large...subway problem?"

[callmequeenbee]

She wrinkled her nose at them before moving to the side to let them in. "Carol got called into SWORD and you guys are late."

Poor, poor Jan. All by herself.

[imafuturist]

"And we're here now," Tony assured her, tugging Steve along. "No one else here?"

[heroic_jawline]

"We can leave our coats out here if it might make us less...pungent," Steve offered.

[callmequeenbee]

"Please. Maybe I have some Fabreeze somewhere," she said, trying to remember if she had anything like that at this place. Or where the cleaning lady kept things. "Vision was a maybe, but apparently there was a thing in Hell's Kitchen with ninjas? I don't know."

[imafuturist]

"We got the Wrecking Crew," Tony said, taking off his coat to leave in the pretty spacious entrance for a New York apartment.

[heroic_jawline]

It had an entryway. That already made it ridiculous, in Steve's experience.

"They had a magic crowbar," Steve added, unimpressed.

[callmequeenbee]

And she wasn't even the one who could just buy the whole building!

"Ugh, I hate those guys. They're so stupid," she said, pulling Steve into the living room so she could steal him before Tony got there.

[imafuturist]

Which was pretty obvious if you asked Tony. Who was politely putting their jackets up to hopefully air out. "It was better than the Serpent Society," Tony called after them.
