Venice, Italy - Friday Evening

[imafuturist]

After taking their class here for a museum trip, it was only reasonable to give Steve that date he wanted. Also, it wasn't Olive Garden. A place that made Tony shudder involuntarily.

That whole mention could be blamed on that last bit of weirdness.

"I've heard good things about this place," Tony said, hurrying along the street to the resturant in question.

Their idea of flirting was just so broken.

"Thank you," he said with a grin, finally getting back to the steak Tony had left for him.

[imafuturist]

It worked for them!

Also, Tony was forever shameless about it. Which was why he grinned and took another sip of his wine. "We are going to have a great time here."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve loved being flirted with by Tony, if only because it was the only flirting he recognized as flirting. The rest was people being friendly.

"I'm excited," Steve admitted. "Most of my Italy memories are during the war."

[imafuturist]

"Well, now you get to learn all about the food and the history here." Steve might leave a little heavier at this rate!

[heroic_jawline]

So much seafood! "Well, we're teaching Renaissance art," Steve said. "This is fact-finding."

[imafuturist]

"Exactly!" Just make sure Tony didn't try to buy something to bring back for the class. Like classic work of art.

Or commission a marble statue of his husband?

"I can't wait," Steve admitted, putting that platter for two through its paces.

[imafuturist]

Look, sometimes you just need a marble statue of the guy you're sleeping with! Everyone knew that!

"Are we going to get dessert here?" Tony asked, watching both Steve and the server's reaction to the demolishing of all that food.

[heroic_jawline]

Everyone knew that? Really?

"I'm good going for a walk," Steve admitted.

[imafuturist]

Everyone!

"Protecting me from all the Italian ruffians?"

[heroic_jawline]

"Of course," Steve said with a smile.

[imafuturist]

"My hero," Tony said brightly.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve leaned in for a soft, quick kiss. "That's all it takes?"

[imafuturist]

"Well, I plan on bringing a bottle back with us to the hotel and I don't want anyone taking it on the way," Tony murmured, kissing him back.

[heroic_jawline]

"Oh, so we're on the same page about dessert," Steve said, cheeks going pink.

[imafuturist]

"We really are," Tony replied, letting it color his voice.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve's cheeks went even pinker. "Let's get the wine and head back to the hotel."

[imafuturist]

Tony laughed and gestured for the bill. "Yes, darling."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve chuckled. "Do I seem too eager?" he asked.

[imafuturist]

"For my liking?" Tony asked. "Never."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve's blush increased again. "It's not my fault that you're such a catch."

[imafuturist]

Tony's smile only widened at all of that. "Well, I'm very glad to be caught."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned back. "Where are we staying again?"

[imafuturist]

"It was pretty last minute, but JARVIS got us a room at the Aman."

Totally just a last minute thing. Like getting a room at a Motel 6!

[heroic_jawline]

"Which one is that?" Steve asked, definitely thinking something like a Marriott.

Because Steve.
