Stark Mini-Tower of Healthy Emotional Choices, Wednesday Afternoon

[imafuturist]

So, Tony and Steve hadn't actually talked since everything. Mostly because Steve was busy resting and recovering and Tony was working. Things needed to be disposed of, structural damage repaired, possible financial changes arranged.

Normal, reasonable things!

He wasn't catastrophizing, you were catastrophizing. And just giving Steve time and space to process things. Yes. That was it exactly.

While in one of the rooms Steve didn't go into very often. It was fine.

Comments

[imafuturist]

"Just checking in." And yes, also that.

[heroic_jawline]

"I have all of you laid out in front of me," Steve said, smiling. "I'm fantastic."

[imafuturist]

"You're too sweet," he murmured, bumping his forehead against Steve's.

[heroic_jawline]

"You deserve nice things, too," Steve murmured back, "and to get out of your head for a bit."

[imafuturist]

"You'll enjoy it too, right?" That he needed to know implicitly this week.

[heroic_jawline]

"Sweetheart, do you know what a turn-on it is for me to realize I'm the only person on the planet that can make you stop thinking for even a minute?" Steve asked. "I love it."

[imafuturist]

Tony let out a relieved sigh and kissed him again. "Well then, help me with that."

[heroic_jawline]

"What do you need from me?" Steve asked softly, kissing his neck.

[imafuturist]

"Just you here with me," Tony sighed, tilting his head back.

[heroic_jawline]

"Oh, that you get already," Steve said, sliding his hand down Tony's chest and then lower, soft and teasing.

[imafuturist]

"Good," Tony said softly. "Good."

[heroic_jawline]

"You've been so good holding back," Steve murmured.

[imafuturist]

"Yeah?" Yes, tell him he did a very good job there.

[heroic_jawline]

"Very, very good," Steve continued, stroking more slowly.

[imafuturist]

Tony hummed and arched his back to press up into that touch. "I love you."

[heroic_jawline]

"I love you too," Steve said, keeping eye contact and smiling softly.

[imafuturist]

"So make me forget my own name," he teased softly.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned. "You think I can't do it? Because I have your number, Stark."

[imafuturist]

"Asking for a reason." That couch was not going to make it through the night.

[heroic_jawline]

"What's your reason?" Steve asked.

[imafuturist]

"Because I know you can do it," Tony said, pushing up to kiss him. "You are so good."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve smiled, then bit down on Tony's lower lip. "Flattery will get you everywhere."

[imafuturist]

"It's the truth," Tony murmured.

[heroic_jawline]

"My least known superpower," Steve teased softly.

[imafuturist]

"No one else gets to know about it," Tony replied. "All for me."
