Central Park, NYC - Tuesday Evening

[imafuturist]

So Steve was back to normal, but that didn't stop him from wanting to go on a walk. And what better place to go walking and enjoy the tail end of summer than to head on back to New York for a date night?

Okay, so maybe there were plenty of other places that didn't involve the heat or the faint summer scent of garbage. But they were New Yorkers and therefore in New York, smell and all. At least they probably didn't have to worry about any kind of alien invasions.

Hopefully.

[for the husband!]

"A small one," Steve said, "so don't get ideas."

[imafuturist]

"Well, a small one wouldn't be bad in our bathroom," Tony insisted.

[heroic_jawline]

"We're not moving a party chandelier upstairs," Steve teased.

[imafuturist]

"A small one," Tony insisted, pushing himself up and tugging off the rest of his clothing.

Steve turned the water on in the bath and looked around for bubbles or soap or something to add. "Aha," he said, spotting the little tray of toiletries on the counter. "Lavender or cedarwood?" he called.

[imafuturist]

"Cedarwood," Tony said, following him into the bathroom. "At least it's not a small room."

It was unreasonably large, Anthony.

[heroic_jawline]

"I think this is bigger than the first apartment I lived in as a kid," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"Really?" It seemed perfectly reasonable!

[heroic_jawline]

Steve smiled at him. "We grew up very differently."

[imafuturist]

Tony leaned over the very deep tub to get it started on filling. Since it would clearly take some time.

"Not even just the time difference."

[heroic_jawline]

"Not even that," Steve said, smiling. "This amount of water would be for my whole building."

[imafuturist]

"It's decadent then," Tony said, testing the water and finding it just as hot as Steve liked and too hot for him. It'd cool down at least.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve added some of the bubble bath and sighed happily at the smell. "This is very decadent."

[imafuturist]

"Well, I like giving you decadent things," Tony replied, stepping aside to let him climb into the steaming bath.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve sighed again as he slid into the water and into the bubbles. "You'll probably want to wait five minutes before you get in."

Or you'd be boiled like a lobster, Tony.

[imafuturist]

"Oh, believe me, I know," Tony replied dryly. "You like it much hotter than me."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve smiled at him. "I don't want you to burn yourself."

[imafuturist]

Tony hummed, searching for the robes for after in the meantime. "Lobster."

[heroic_jawline]

"No, I ordered dessert," Steve teased.

[imafuturist]

Tony laughed and flicked his ear playfully. "Very clever, very clever."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve tilted his head up, asking for a kiss. "I try."

[imafuturist]

A kiss he was gladly given. "Now. Is it cool enough for me?"

[heroic_jawline]

"Nothing is cool enough for you," Steve teased, "but the water's fine now."

[imafuturist]

Tony bit at his bottom lip before carefully joining him in the still sreaming hot tub. It was just barely manageable.

[heroic_jawline]

"Is it still too hot?" Steve asked, looking worried.
