Stark Tower, NYC - Thursday

[imafuturist]

Steve finally let Tony go all out for his birthday. Sure, it was just the two of them in the penthouse suite of the tower, but he was still doing it! With way too much catering and fireworks all set up for the evening.

Which was honestly just what was expected from Stark Industries for the holiday anymore, but still.

Hopefully Steve would enjoy the massive, patriotic teddy bear waiting for him once they arrived.

How much he loved it would depend on how many stories tall it was!

"This is swell, Tony," Steve said, gazing down on the city and grinning. Being up this high would never, ever get old.

[imafuturist]

It was... perfectly reasonable. Just a six foot teddy bear.

"Happy birthday," Tony said with a quick grin.

[heroic_jawline]

If it could fit through a door it was fine!

"Thank you," Steve said. "Is it bad that I've lost track of how old I'm turning?"

[imafuturist]

"106," Tony supplied for him. Because of course he remembered Steve's stuff.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "I don't feel a day over thirty," he teased.

[imafuturist]

"Only as young as you feel," Tony agreed, leaning in for a kiss.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve kissed him back, lingering in it. "You know how to make a fella feel special."

[imafuturist]

"Well, you deserved it this year." He deserved it every year, but Tony had to show restraint or whatever else Pepper kept telling him.

Steve smiled against Tony's mouth. "And I let you spoil me," he teased softly. "How much food did you order?"

[imafuturist]

"Not... too much." So, so much, Steve.

[heroic_jawline]

"And how many people will be eating it?" Steve asked.

[imafuturist]

"Well, just us." So, so much.

[heroic_jawline]

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

In all of his over-the-top Tony-ness.

[imafuturist]

Look, Tony gotta Tony.

"I wanted it to be perfect for you!"

[heroic_jawline]

Steve smiled at him. "I know you do." There were only so many years in a row that Steve could demur about his birthday before Tony exploded and bought an island or something, so this was a good compromise.

[imafuturist]

"And Pepper nixed a few ideas," Tony grumbled.

[heroic_jawline]

"What did she tell you no on?" Steve asked.

[imafuturist]

"I couldn't try to hire Beyonce," Tony sighed.

[heroic_jawline]

"For the two of us?" Steve asked, eyes bugging out. "That sounds...intimate."

[imafuturist]

"Maybe we would have invited more people if I was allowed to hire Beyonce," Tony admitted.

[heroic_jawline]

"Otherwise we'd just be staring at each other," Steve agreed.

[imafuturist]

"That might be romantic." It'd be so awkward.

[heroic_jawline]

"Just you, me, and Beyonce," Steve said.

Thank you, Pepper, for saying no to this.

[imafuturist]

"Okay, so maybe a little awkward," Tony admitted.

[heroic_jawline]

"Just a little bit," Steve said, bringing his finger and thumb together.
