Athens International Airport, Greece - Friday Afternoon

[imafuturist]

Steve spent the holiday with his scattered team while Tony had spent it with his own. Which was much less upsetting than it seemed like it ought to have been to take time apart after... everything.

But it could have been because they were going to meet back up.

Which was why Tony was keeping a low profile by the Portalocity section of this airport, waiting for Steve to arrive. Not being impatient about it at all. Don't be ridiculous.

[for the guy!]

"Maybe we go for Christmas?" Exchange snow for more snow.

"That could be nice," Steve said, smiling. "Find a place with a nice fireplace?"

[imafuturist]

"And lots of grilled meat," Tony agreed, toasting him with his glass. "Maybe one of the hot springs."

[heroic_jawline]

"Can we eat grilled meat while sitting in a hot spring?" Steve asked.

It was the most decadent thing he could imagine.

[imafuturist]

"I'll see what we can do," Tony promised.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve leaned in for a kiss. "I love you."

[imafuturist]

"I love you too," Tony hummed, leaning into kiss him again.

[heroic_jawline]

"And not because of the vacations," Steve said quietly.

[imafuturist]

"But they help, right?" Anthony, please focus on actual emotions here.

[heroic_jawline]

"Not as much as you think," Steve said, kissing him again.

[imafuturist]

"I like giving you nice things," Tony replied sheepishly. "You deserve them."

[heroic_jawline]

"I know you do," Steve said, crowding him against the bar a bit, "but it's not why I'm here."

[imafuturist]

"I know," Tony sighed. "I know. It's... hard habit to break."

[heroic_jawline]

"I love you," Steve said, giving Tony the full power of his earnestness as he wrapped his arms around him, "not your money."

And he hated that that made him an outlier.

[imafuturist]

Tony hugged him back. "I love you too."

[heroic_jawline]

"I'll tell you as many times as you need me too," Steve said with a soft smile.

[imafuturist]

"Maybe we both have some trouble with remembering some things in this relationship," he teased with a watery voice.

[heroic_jawline]

"You might be right," Steve agreed. "Let's eat and then stretch in that ridiculous bed of yours before we get to the island."

[imafuturist]

"Yes, dear," Tony agreed with another kiss.

[heroic_jawline]

After eating, Steve snagged what was left in the bottle of delightful wine--he still didn't know the price--and headed out to watch the waves for a moment.

[imafuturist]

Tony wobbled after him, very full of shrimp and wine to hug him from behind and enjoy the sun as he breathed in Steve's scent.

[heroic_jawline]

"Hi," Steve said, settling back against Tony. "You've got pretty great taste in vacation spots."

[imafuturist]

"Better with you here now," Tony replied, humming.

[heroic_jawline]

"I'm so glad we're back on the same page," Steve admitted softly.

[imafuturist]

"You and me both," Tony agreed, letting out a little sigh as he hugged him a little tighter around the waist.
