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!]

"Just as a prototype!" Anthony, no.

[heroic_jawline]

"We are not having a flying corgi," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"He likes it!" Anthony, no.

[heroic_jawline]

"He also likes eating paper bags," Steve said, laughing. "Let's not let him make decisions."

[imafuturist]

"Those paper bags have it coming," Tony said loyally.

[heroic_jawline]

"They do not," Steve said. "What kind of taco do you want?"

[imafuturist]

Tony didn't pout, but it might have looked like it. "Al pastor. See if they can put some of the pineapple on it."

[heroic_jawline]

"I'll ask nicely, but we're in New York," Steve said, "so that might confuse them."

[imafuturist]

"People are nice here," Tony insisted. "Just... in a specific way."

Where they'd cuss you out while helping a stranger carry something up subway stairs.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned. "Go and show me how to get pineapple on your taco, then."

[imafuturist]

Tony sniffed and stepped forward with a crisp hundred dollar bill. "Two barbacoa tacos for the gentleman and one of those delicious looking al pastor for myself. Keep the change."

Well, that was one way to accomplish it.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve snorted. "Well, that's one way of doing it."

[imafuturist]

"Oh, do you have something to say?" Tony asked, leaning against the food truck to raise his eyebrows at Steve.

[heroic_jawline]

"No, but Ben Franklin did," Steve said archly.

[imafuturist]

"He did indeed," Tony said, laughing as their order came up fast and maybe a little extra of everything on it.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "You'll never learn with reinforcement like this."

[imafuturist]

"I know where my talents lie," Tony said, grinning as he passed Steve his tacos.

[heroic_jawline]

"Throwing money at things is not a talent," Steve said, taking a bite of his taco.

[imafuturist]

"Tell that to my father," Tony muttered dryly.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve bumped his shoulder into Tony's. "You're three times the man he wanted to be," he said sincerely.

[imafuturist]

"You're legally obligated to say that," he teased quietly.

[heroic_jawline]

"I didn't read that clause either," Steve said with a tiny smile. "I just say what I think."

[imafuturist]

Tony moved up on his toes for a quick, off center kiss. Because he said the sweetest things that made it hard to respond to.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve smiled at him. "I'm always on your side, too."

[imafuturist]

"Aren't I lucky?" Tony murmured.
