The Bitty Version of Stark Tower, Sunday Morning

[imafuturist]

Well, Steve invited Thor to come live with them at the tower. Well, kind of Thor? Tony hadn't really gotten the details of that whole deal, but was different enough for him to assume this was another universe version, but who was he to ever turn down a friend? Alternate universes and all be damned!

Which was why Tony managed to go snag some pastries from the shop in town to bring as a sort of welcome basket. Also because it was an incredibly awkward holiday for him and he was just going to do some stuff to avoid it.

So he put the food down in the common area kitchen of the guest suites and then frowned at the lack of coffee before getting that started. "J, make sure to double the grocery delivery, okay?"

[for the folks who live therein!]

Steve gave him a friendly wave. "There's pastries."

One of which was in his hand and heading for his mouth, even.

Gotta feed that supersoldier metabolism, after all. "Thanks," Don said. "And for letting me stay here." It was almost a little bit like old times!

[heroic_jawline]

"Of course," Steve said with a grin. "We certainly have the room. We're happy to have you."

[ifwebeworthy]

Would they be so happy once Don finished his 'Is Thor gonna be allowed to smash this particular Tony Stark's faceplate in' evaluation? Remained to be seen. "I know it's kind of, uh. Weird." Since he wasn't Thor.

It was probably going to be weirder when they found out Thor was also here.

[heroic_jawline]

It had been a few days since Steve had been attacked by Skrulls so he was due for some weird! "I'm used to weird."

Well. MCU weird. Not comics weird.

[ifwebeworthy]

"Sure, but weird is a sliding scale," Don pointed out.

Apparently where Tony was from people didn't even regularly come back from the dead!

[heroic_jawline]

"Well, yes," Steve said, "but I'm pretty open-minded."

[ifwebeworthy]

Don nodded. "And you're married! To Tony Stark!" That was still wild even while, somehow, also the most obvious thing imaginable.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "That's led to a good part of the open-mindedness," he admitted.

[ifwebeworthy]

Please don't mean that in the way Don was really trying very hard not to take it, Steve. In fact, he might be wishing that Thor was here for this conversation instead of him, right about now.

"Uh-huh," he finally managed to say, a little bit strangled. "You don't--you don't say."

[heroic_jawline]

It took Steve a hot second to figure out how that sentence could make someone look like that, but when he did, he turned bright red. "Not like that!"

[ifwebeworthy]

"Nope, I'm sorry," Don said, shaking his head. "It's in there now."

[heroic_jawline]

"I'm sorry!" Steve said.

[ifwebeworthy]

"A likely story." Was he teasing him now? Maaaaaaybe. "You're going to have to pay a forfeit, you realize. In pastry."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve held his bear claw protectively. "How many pastries we talking?"

[ifwebeworthy]

"You can keep that one," Don promised him. "But at least...two."

Look, he had the stomach of a mere mortal.

[heroic_jawline]

"I suppose, since you're new," Steve agreed. "But you can't take both the cruller and the Boston creme."

[ifwebeworthy]

"You drive a hard bargain, Rogers, but I think I can manage it."
