A Private Villa That Totally Cost Too Much, Amalfi Coast, Italy - Sunday Morning

[imafuturist]

Tony had promised to go all out for Steve's birthday and goddamnit, he was doing just what he promised.

He'd probably have to get JARVIS to not spill how much it cost, though. Yeah, that was going on the list.

But it was more than worth the view, watching the sun rise with a cup of coffee while Steve finished up his usual morning marathon.

Steve finally re-emerged from his run, sweating lightly and wearing a shirt that had definitely shrunk in the wash. "This place is amazing," he said earnestly.

[imafuturist]

Everything about that brought a wide smile to Tony's face as he leaned over for a kiss as soon as he drew near. "Good views on your run?"

[heroic_jawline]

"Incredible," Steve said, kissing him back. "You'll have to come tomorrow. Or we can walk at sunset. You have to see it."

[imafuturist]

"Sunset I can do," Tony promised. "Sunrise is meant for coffee and lounging."

[heroic_jawline]

"I saw a winebar, too," Steve wheedled.

[imafuturist]

"Are you trying to get me drunk, Captain Rogers?" he teased, tugging on Steve's damp shirt to get him closer.

[heroic_jawline]

"Of course not," Steve said, kissing him again. "Just...squiffy."

That's not really a word, Steve.

[imafuturist]

"Squiffy," Tony repeated, laughing as he pulled back. "Well, if you insist, it's a date."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned. "Sure am lucky, to get to take out such a handsome fella."

[imafuturist]

Tony smiled at that, small and sincere. "And I get to show off my fella too."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve's cheeks went pink. "That too," he agreed. "What else is on the agenda for today?"

[imafuturist]

"I was thinking we could go to the beach. Maybe make use of that swimsuit of yours." Tony, no.

[heroic_jawline]

"Shucks, I must have left that one behind," Steve said without missing a beat.

[imafuturist]

"I'm sure I can find a nude beach in that case," Tony parried easily.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve coughed and turned bright red. "I don't think that's necessary."

Steve, once you see the big, hairy, Italian dudes with zero shame in their swimsuits, you'll feel much better.

[imafuturist]

He'd be assaulted by interested parties all around if he showed up on the beach in that suit.

"No tan lines," Tony wheedled, unable to keep from teasing now that Steve was blushing.

[heroic_jawline]

"That only matters to you, my Italian darling," Steve said. "I burn."

[imafuturist]

"We can go to Ireland in the fall if you like," Tony said, setting his coffee down to snag Steve by his waistband for another kiss. "You can be pale and beautiful and out-drink everyone there."

[heroic_jawline]

"That sounds...kind of wonderful, actually," Steve said, kissing Tony. "I've never been."

[imafuturist]

"I've really only ever passed through the airport," he admitted. "So, we can discover it together."

[heroic_jawline]

"In the fall," Steve said with a little lopsided grin.

It gave him all the warm and fuzzies to have Tony just assume they'd be together.

[imafuturist]

"You know, normal couples go apple picking," he teased, brushing imaginary lint off Steve's shoulders as he stuck close to him.

[heroic_jawline]

"We can do that too," Steve said. "I'll get the tall ones."

[imafuturist]

"And not make a pie." Never again. "Maybe if we brought them to Eliot's place we can get pie."

[heroic_jawline]

"Ooooh," Steve said. "Bet we can ask Hardison to get Eliot to make us pie. Maybe we could do it as a small group thing?"
