Apartment Above Stark Industries, Thursday Evening

[imafuturist]

So, it was one of those days yet again. Of course, this time it fell on Tony's birthday, which was new.

But Tony was just going to power on through that and have a nice evening with pizza and beer that had to be ordered and picked up in person because of the phones. So, it was basically a homecooked meal at that point, right? Right.

"I haven't missed this one," Tony said, dropped the order onto the kitchen table once he got in.

[for the fellow!]

"I bought a bottle of wine for your birthday, too!"

It was almost $200. Steve felt this was wildly indulgent.

[imafuturist]

"You did?" Tony beamed like that was the best gift he could have hoped for. Because, well, Steve went out of his way to pick a wine for the day and it was.

[heroic_jawline]

"I did," Steve said, smiling back. "The other Tony helped."

[imafuturist]

"I'll open it up for us," he replied with another kiss before pulling away to grab the glasses.

[heroic_jawline]

"It should go with the pizza," declared Steve, who had no palate.

[imafuturist]

"Of course!" They could make it pair with the pizza through sheer force of will.

Steve beamed at him, happy to see his gift so well received.

[imafuturist]

"I also have a cake hidden in the kitchen," he said with a quick grin.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "Chocolate?" he guessed.

[imafuturist]

"Chocolate," Tony replied with a sheepish little grin.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned. "From the place that made the wedding cakes?" he guessed.

[imafuturist]

"JARVIS ordered it for me, so I hope so." Because he would have eaten so much more cake had there not the terrifying amount of food there.

[heroic_jawline]

Well, they'd had to feed Thor and Steve (and Steve had thrown in enough to feed a Bucky in case he'd showed up), so there had been a ton, but not exactly leftovers?

"It was really good," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"You picked the best cake," Tony said, kissing him on the cheek as he grabbed the wine to open. "Oh! Should we have kept some in the freezer for our anniversary? I thought I read that somewhere."

[heroic_jawline]

"I have no idea why that is a tradition," Steve admitted, frowning.

[imafuturist]

"It doesn't sound very sanitary," he admitted.

[heroic_jawline]

"Why not just buy another cake instead of eating something old?" Steve asked.

[imafuturist]

"We'll do that instead!" Hopefully that bakery would never go out of business.

[heroic_jawline]

Don't buy the bakery, Tony.

"And it's not taking up space in the freezer for a year," Steve said, nodding.

[imafuturist]

He could be a silent partner!

"Also, I think you'd accidentally eat it after a workout," he teased.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "That's not unlikely," he admitted.

[imafuturist]

"So, it's just safer all around to get a brand new cake," Tony agreed with a proud little grin.

[heroic_jawline]

"I agree," Steve said, laughing. "You get the wine, I'll pick a movie?"

[imafuturist]

"Yes and yes," Tony replied. "We can finish off the pizza on the couch."

[heroic_jawline]

"But not with Patriot," Steve said immediately.
