Maldives, Tuesday Evening

[imafuturist]

Somewhere warm and 'please don't buy another building, Tony' had been the two stipulations for Valentine's Day this year. One was easy and the other was just rude.

Because there went any plans to buy Steve a castle.

So, Tony thought on places they had not gone yet and then JARVIS finally picked a resort after Tony went through one too many spreadsheets of potential locations. Because JARVIS was a peach like that.

"So, how do you like it?" Tony asked, looking out at the ocean from their private villa.

"I've never seen something more beautiful," Steve said. "Holy cow."

[imafuturist]

Tony beamed, tugged him in to kiss on the cheek. "I thought you'd enjoy it."

There was so much sunscreen waiting for Steve though. Because Tony knew better.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve wrapped his arms around Tony and pulled him in tight. "I'm speechless. This is breathtaking."

[imafuturist]

"Ours through the weekend," Tony said with a wide grin. "So you can soak up all the sun you can."

[heroic_jawline]

"Did you pack sunscreen?"

Because Steve knew his life.

[imafuturist]

"Yes," Tony promised, kissing him again. "I'm not letting you get burned before the holiday."

[heroic_jawline]

"You're my favorite," Steve said, smiling against Tony's mouth. "Was it on the spreadsheet?"

Because there had definitely been a spreadsheet. He loved Tony's slightly unhinged need for control.

[imafuturist]

"...no." So very much yes. "I don't need spreadsheets to be romantic."

Yes he did.

[heroic_jawline]

"Of course you don't," Steve said because he was willing to go along with Tony on this even though they both knew better.

[imafuturist]

"Oh look, champagne!" Ah yes, the best distraction.

[heroic_jawline]

"We can drink it and watch the fish swim by!" Steve said. Becaus there was a glass floor in this insanely nice little villa and he was never going to get over it.

[imafuturist]

"Get changed into something comfortable and I'll get this open," Tony said, kissing him again.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve smiled. "I'll be the robes here are really swell, too," he said. "Let me go find out."

[imafuturist]

"Slippers too!" Oh yeah, getting Steve used to the finer things.

[heroic_jawline]

Never let him figure out how much the complimentary champagne was!

"Slippers too," Steve agreed, ducking into the bedroom and getting distracted by staring out at the ocean there, too.

[imafuturist]

Look, he had to be over the top to express his feelings! By spending way too much.

Tony popped open the champagne and poured two glasses as he looked down at the ocean floor beneath them.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve padded back out of the bedroom in the robe and no slippers. "I decided to stay barefoot so I can put my feet in the pool," he explained. "Because we have our own pool."

[imafuturist]

"Feeling relaxed yet?" Tony asked, grinning as he offered Steve his champagne.

[heroic_jawline]

"I'm feeling incredibly pampered," Steve admitted, taking the glass and settling by the pool.

[imafuturist]

"Good," Tony replied brightly. "Because once you finish your drink I'm going to ravish you against that day bed."

So romantic, Anthony.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve snorted champagne out his nose, so it was an equally romantic response.

"Are you?"

[imafuturist]

Tony grinned and nodded at him. Lovingly.

"Unless you have objections to this plan."

[heroic_jawline]

"No objections," Steve said with a grin. "Maybe a tiny question about the way it was presented--"

[imafuturist]

"I said ravish! That's romantic," Tony said, laughing.

[heroic_jawline]

"Ravish is only slighly romantic," Steve said, smiling again.
