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!]

"Probably a good idea," Steve said. "This is a lot of energy!"

[imafuturist]

"We can manage it."

The number of pieces of furniture that would be destroyed in the meantime.

[heroic_jawline]

They'd been designed for super-soldiers and gods, not gnawing monsters!

"We've needed a challenge," Steve agreed.

[imafuturist]

They'd learn. Oh, they'd learn.

"Exactly," Tony agreed, watching them run in circles around Steve. "If nothing else, it'll keep us busy this summer."

[heroic_jawline]

"They can come to paintball when they're ready," Steve said delusionally.

[imafuturist]

"That's a great idea!" Guys, this is how Ultron happened.

[heroic_jawline]

"Thank you," Steve said, smiling. "They'd love it."

They'd be covered in everything.

[imafuturist]

"Should we get them suits?"

They would not wear them.

[heroic_jawline]

"They don't need suits," Steve said firmly.

[imafuturist]

"Paintball suits!" Although...

[heroic_jawline]

"Oh, paintball suits are different," Steve said. "They should probably have those."

[imafuturist]

"I'll get to work on that." They would be ripped to shreds so fast.

[heroic_jawline]

And that was putting aside the fight to get the dogs into the suits to begin with!

"You're a genius," Steve said, grinning. "You'll be swell."

[imafuturist]

Tony pulled him into a kiss for that. Because it was sweet and also he'd missed Steve. Then immediately regretted it because Steve had been a dog for over a week. "Okay, maybe we get you dressed and showered before any w-a-l-k-s happen."

[heroic_jawline]

"And teeth," Steve guessed astutely.

[imafuturist]

"And teeth." Ah, marriage. Wasn't it grand?

[heroic_jawline]

It was nice being known!

Steve smiled. "You'll be okay with the gang?"

[imafuturist]

"I've been with them all week," Tony assured him dryly.

While Fee found the remote and cracked it between her teeth.

"Work in progress."

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed and kissed the top of Tony's head. "I'll make it quick."

[imafuturist]

"Thank you!" Tony sighed and tried to replace the broken remote with a kong.

[heroic_jawline]

"Maybe something she can tug?" Steve suggested.

[imafuturist]

"Good idea." Bad idea.

[heroic_jawline]

"She'll love it."

Tony's arm sockets might love it less?

[imafuturist]

"Shoo. I've got them," he promised. Even though he did not, in fact, have them.

[heroic_jawline]

"I'll be right back," Steve promised.
