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 beamed again, kissing him on the cheek. "Deal."

And if Steve ate just a little faster than he normally would, that was between him and Tony. "The bedroom's back that way?" he asked, pointing.

He didn't want to give a show to the glass windows, even though they were very high up.

[imafuturist]

"Mmmhmm." Bold to think the bedroom didn't also have a million windows.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve would immediately realize his mistake, yeah.

He leaned in to give Tony a soft kiss. "Unless you want me to wait?"

[imafuturist]

"We can see the fireworks there too," Tony assured him. "Waiting not necessary."

[heroic_jawline]

"Are you setting this up for an explosion joke?" Steve checked, smiling.

[imafuturist]

"...not anymore I'm not." DAMN IT, STEVE.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve's eyes went wide. "I was kidding!"

[imafuturist]

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?
