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.

"A small one," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"A small one," Tony agreed. Steve would need to restrain him.

[heroic_jawline]

"One where I know all the people," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"...fine, I'll make sure to let Pepper control the guest list." She did her best, Steve. Really she did.

[heroic_jawline]

And Steve adored her for it!

"Thank you," Steve said, kissing him.

[imafuturist]

Tony huffed and took a sip of his wine. "I'm not that bad about it."

Yes he was.

[heroic_jawline]

"Of course you aren't," Steve said, handing him his plate of food. "I love how excited you get."

[imafuturist]

"I'm glad." Because Tony couldn't help his over enthusiasm sometimes. It was just... him.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve kissed him again. "Shhh, Tony's brain," he murmured softly. "I mean it."

[imafuturist]

"My brain is fine!" Well, much better now as he slumped into Steve's side.

[heroic_jawline]

"I know," Steve said, holding onto Tony a little more tightly.

[imafuturist]

"How about we get some music on," Tony suggested. Because wow a distraction was good here.

[heroic_jawline]

"Make this a dance?" Steve said with a small smile. "JARVIS, play something from the '40s, please?"

Because it was his birthday.

[imafuturist]

"I'll even be so gracious as to let you lead," Tony promised.

[heroic_jawline]

"But you're the one who's had dancing lessons," Steve said with a smile as a slow song came over the speakers. "JARVIS has good taste."

[imafuturist]

"Well, he picks things based on what you like," Tony said, putting his glass down to offer a hand to Steve.

[heroic_jawline]

"Then I have good taste, too," Steve said, smiling.

[imafuturist]

"That you do," Tony agreed. Married Tony, didn't he?

[heroic_jawline]

"Thank you," Steve said, spinning Tony around the room and not banging their legs into any tables.

[imafuturist]

Which was a testament to practice or familiarity. "Maybe we ought to do this more often. Have the ballroom for a reason."

[heroic_jawline]

"We do," Steve agreed, "even if it's still a skating rink. We could dance on skates?"

What could go wrong?

[imafuturist]

"We could!" Well. Tony could.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve blinked. "I didn't actually think you'd go for that."

[imafuturist]

"Getting to have fun with my husband? Of course it's a yes," Tony replied.

[heroic_jawline]

"Well, it's a date," Steve said. "Next week?"
