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.

Tony kissed him for that. "I'm telling you to go here, sweetheart."

[heroic_jawline]

"I will, then," Steve said. "I love you."

[imafuturist]

"You deserve to find that happiness," Tony murmured. "You hear me?"

[heroic_jawline]

Heard, yes. Believed might take some work. He kissed Tony's cheek. "Thank you."

[imafuturist]

"I'll be right here for you," Tony promised.

[heroic_jawline]

"Thank you," Steve murmured, kissing him again.

[imafuturist]

"But right now, this is about celebrating you," Tony murmured, kissing him back.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve smiled. "And I derailed it a little."

[imafuturist]

"Just a little," Tony replied. "But you needed to."

[heroic_jawline]

"But I just dumped without warning you," Steve said, then smiled softly, "which I would also do for you and I know is part of marriage, but I still feel bad."

Tony kissed him for that. "Well, you can make it up to me with letting me sleep in tomorrow morning," he teased.

[heroic_jawline]

"After tiring you out tonight?" Steve asked hopefully.

[imafuturist]

"Yes," Tony said, beaming at him. "Please."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve settled in next to him, sighing. "This is nice."

Now that he had finally talked things.

[imafuturist]

"Happy?" he asked, curling an arm around Steve's waist.

[heroic_jawline]

"Deeply," Steve said quietly. "You?"

[imafuturist]

"I get to spoil my husband," Tony replied. "I'm thrilled."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve smiled softly. "I don't let you do it often."

[imafuturist]

"Just be glad I didn't buy you pretty things to wear," he teased, pressing a kiss into Steve's neck.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve chuckled. "How pretty were you thinking?" he asked teasingly.

[imafuturist]

"Oh, the prettiest," he teased. "Diamonds and gold."

[heroic_jawline]

"In a tiara?" Steve teased.

[imafuturist]

"Maybe." Don't underestimate how much Tony enjoyed these things.

[heroic_jawline]

"I love you very, very much," Steve began, "but I don't think I can be persuaded to wear a tiara."

[imafuturist]

"Maybe a very gaudy necklace?" Tony suggested.
