Ballroom of Stark Towerlet, Saturday Afternoon

[imafuturist]

So, maybe the whole getting Steve up to speed on roller skating in the ballroom wasn't the best plan. But ice skating was happening without a lot of hot chocolate being provided, so there they were.

And now Steve had a sprained wrist that he was downplaying like his last name was actually Stark or something. Which was rude. Sure, it'd heal with record speed and all, but the principle of the matter!

"Are you sure we don't need to go to the clinic? Or maybe just get Don?"

[for the guy on some slowplay]

"I'll be fine," Steve insisted. "It'll be fixed in a hour or so."

[imafuturist]

That was patently unfair, but tracked for his life.

"So, in that hour we won't be roller skating anymore," Tony said, checking the little brace that he had on hand for... reasons. Not to do with neglecting his own health and wellness.

So. Glass houses and all that.

"But I was having a really good time until then," Steve said from his spot by the wall.

[imafuturist]

"And then we broke the super soldier," Tony said with a nod. "Let's not do that again for at least five business days?"

[heroic_jawline]

Steve chuckled, trying to hide his pained wince. "No promises."

[imafuturist]

"Let's get you back up to our floor," Tony suggested. Where Don couldn't come be grumpy at them.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve nodded, trying to stand up using only one hand. "Could I get some ice cream while I recover?"

[imafuturist]

Tony moved around to help him up with an arm around Steve's waist. "You can definitely have ice cream."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned. "And you too, to stop you from hiding in the lab and reengineering all roller skates in existence."

[imafuturist]

"I wouldn't... do that."

He would and could.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve leaned in and kissed him. "You would, too."

[imafuturist]

"Can I at least fuss a little to make up for it?"

[heroic_jawline]

"I've learned not to try," Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"Why, thank you," Tony said, leaning in for a kiss. "You do the same thing, you know."

[heroic_jawline]

"That's because you don't take care of yourself," Steve said with a breathtaking lack of self-awareness.

[imafuturist]

"And you do?" Tony asked with a bark of laughter.

[heroic_jawline]

"Sometimes!" Steve said.

[imafuturist]

"Mmhmm," Tony said, leading him over to the elevator. Because clearly he needed the elevator.

[heroic_jawline]

Dammit for being so handy! Steve resented you so.

"I can take the steps," Steve insisted.

[imafuturist]

"You'd try to reach for the railing to go faster," Tony said.

[heroic_jawline]

"...probably," Steve admitted.

[imafuturist]

"I know you, sweetheart. Elevator it is."

[heroic_jawline]

"Fine," Steve said with a slight pout.

[imafuturist]

Tony kissed him on the cheek for it. "You get ice cream out of the deal, you know."

[heroic_jawline]

"Chocolate?" Steve asked hopefully.
