Penthouse Apartment of Stark Baby Tower, Monday Morning

[imafuturist]

Tony was regretting the number of dogs he'd ended up with here. Mostly because he was presently covered in them as he tried to go through work emails. Tried was the key word there because they were being needy and competitive for the attention he could provide.

"Steve, you can turn back any moment now," he just sighed as he was up to his neck in fur.

It'd be so nice if things worked that way, wouldn't it?

[for the husband!]

"Justifiably rude?" Did that count?

[heroic_jawline]

"How justiable and how rude?" Steve checked.

[imafuturist]

"It might stand for Fuck Elon."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve burst out laughing. "Seriously?!"

[imafuturist]

"I might have gotten annoyed at one of those cars at the shelter." And called Pepper to greenlight the Stark smart-cars.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve kept laughing. "Did they block your parking spot?"

[imafuturist]

"They parked in the fire lane!" Not even Tony did that.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve looked suitably appalled. "Did you get them towed?"

[imafuturist]

"Oh, the shelter was on that," Tony replied. "So. I was a little... upset when I named her."

And now it was on all the paperwork.

[heroic_jawline]

"I'll bet they weren't even adopting an animal," Steve muttered.

[imafuturist]

"They were dumping this girl here," Tony said, gesturing to where Fee was trying to gnaw on her own back leg because she forgot it was her.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve let out an involuntary growl low in his throat. He was so disappointed in those people, Tony.

[imafuturist]

"So, now we have three dogs. Tada," Tony said, reaching over to stop her and getting his hands gnawed on again.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned. "Well, now it makes sense."

[imafuturist]

"And Libby over there was just too perfect too." She had blue eyes and was very judgmental and silent until she very, very, very was not silent.

[heroic_jawline]

Oh, they would learn about huskies.

"She is very sweet," Steve agreed, reaching out to scratch her behind the ears.

[imafuturist]

And just wait until it snowed!

"So, it's okay?" Tony asked hopefully. He couldn't return them now. Not after they'd slept on him the whole week and also chewed through three Kongs.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve leaned in to kiss him. "We're not returning any of the dogs," he said softly. "You don't actually think I would ask for that?"

[imafuturist]

"Well..." Tony considered it objectively. "I guess not."

[heroic_jawline]

"As long as Patty's good with the company, I'm fine," Steve said.

Steve might rethink this once or twice once Libby started getting comfortable and began singing the song of her people.

[imafuturist]

Well. Thankfully they'd soundproofed between the floors.

"He's been having fun, I think. And sleeping like the dead trying to keep up with them both."

It was hilarious right now. But give it time.

[heroic_jawline]

"Poor Patty," Steve said, giving the corgi a pat. "They aren't fighting him to sleep in the shield, right?"

[imafuturist]

"Oh no, it's more... Fee keeps trying to drag it around with Patty on it?" Which was also adorable. Right now. "They suggested we start a lot of training for the two of them for enrichment."

They were going to learn to use the elevator all on their own.

[heroic_jawline]

"We can definitely do that," Steve said. "Maybe we can use some of the ballroom for an obstacle course."

[imafuturist]

"That sounds perfect."

One of them would be leaping for the chandelier. Guess which one.
