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 laughed and leaned in for a kiss. "It's okay. It was an immature joke."

And they were very mature people. Who would never.

[heroic_jawline]

If the fireworks spelled out "BOOYAH" or "STEVE", Steve would have some follow-up questions.

"And we're far too mature for that," Steve said, kissing him back, "but not in a senior citizen way."

[imafuturist]

Would "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" have follow up questions? Asking for a friend.

"Exactly."

But there might have been timing for the display to coincide with certain things, so...

[heroic_jawline]

Steve would find that attention to detail endearing. He kissed Tony again. "Then you're free to join me. Do you have a matching outfit?"

[imafuturist]

"Of course," Tony said, already unbuttoning his shirt. You know. Like a real MVP.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned at him, then let out a wolf whistle.

You know, maturely.

[imafuturist]

Tony shamelessly preened for him. "Thank you, darling."

[heroic_jawline]

"I've heard positive reinforcement is important in relationships," Steve told him with another grin.

[imafuturist]

"I feel encouraged," Tony agreed, tugging on the hem of Steve's shirt next. "Do you?"

[heroic_jawline]

"Oh, I'm very encouraged," Steve said, happily getting rid of his shirt.

[imafuturist]

Tony pressed in for a kiss, letting the shirt fall to the floor. "Yaaaay," he said against Steve's lips.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "I love how excited you get."

[imafuturist]

"You don't mind if I'm goofy about it," Tony said, maybe a little sheepishly.

[heroic_jawline]

"I love when you are," Steve said, curling his hand around Tony's cheek. "It means you're not caring about appearances. I'm getting the real you."

[imafuturist]

Tony kissed him again for that. "Even if the real me is a bit of a nerd?"

[heroic_jawline]

"Especially because you're a bit of a nerd," Steve assured him.

[imafuturist]

"Well, I guess I'll be keeping you then."

Was the whole marriage not enough of a clue for that?

[heroic_jawline]

"Oh, good," Steve said. "I don't strip to my socks for just anyone."

[imafuturist]

"Lucky, lucky me," he teased.

[heroic_jawline]

"The unexpected upside to running from the law--I'm not asked to be in as many charity calendars," Steve said, slipping out of his pants.

[imafuturist]

"No beefcake calendars for you," Tony replied solemnly. "We could always make one just for me to make up for it."

[heroic_jawline]

"I feel like you might not be suggesting this in an entirely altruistic light," Steve teased, reaching down to remove Tony's pants.

[imafuturist]

"Oh, I'd donate to plenty of charities for it," Tony replied, helping him with that. Kindly.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed and kissed him again. "I bet you would."

[imafuturist]

"Name five and it's done," Tony murmured between kisses.
