@bxckybxrncs Steve held onto Bucky before he was sat down, then took the glass. He silently sipped from it.
βStill kind of processing it. It just. . . hurt.β
He shrugged small.
@bxckybxrncs Steve reached a thin hand out and lightly laid it on top of Buckyβs, the manβs touch always being a grounding one for him.
βI donβt knowβ¦ my hearts racing still.β
@bxckybxrncs He was covered in sweat and shaking a bit as Bucky tried to wake him up. It took a moment but he started to come to, his breathing labored and fear all throughout his body.
βBucky?β he rasped out.
@AKillerNoMore He smiled weakly at her for a prolonged moment before he sighed and looked to the soup finally.
βProbably not gonna eat a lot of this,β he warned her before he let go of her hand and took the soup. To be honest, he felt so sick that he didnβt want to eat at all.
@bxckybxrncs Steve stayed leaned over the railing, but turned his head to look up at James for a brief moment.
βNothinβ, Buck. Just gettinβ some fresh air,β he said, deciding to not talk about it. It was nothing new, he supposed.
βAlright. No more playinβ with fire, and Iβll go do whatever ya want tonight. Itβs your day.β
He shot bucky a smile and a little wink before he finally started to eat. Though, as always, it wasnβt very much.
Bucky laughs into his coffee cup at the memory. "To be fair, we did load you up on funnel cake and put you on the Cyclone. That's just playin' with fire. We won't do that again."
@AKillerNoMore βYou canβt ask me to not worry about you. I always worry about youβ¦β he said and rubbed his thumb over her knuckles gently, βYouβre my best girl.β
Steve felt the tension. Of course he did, how could he π―π°π΅? Tonight had been. . . romantic. In a way he hadnβt felt before. Without even realizing it Tony had softened his heart.
βHah,β he breathed out, staying still and letting Tony run the tip of his finger along his β
[Starter for @ResilientRogers]
"...So tell me...does a man as lovely as you hold many secrets? Other than the obvious one, of course."
It was a strange question for Tony to ask, especially after the two had just had dinner and were now sitting together as a storm brewed outside Steve's tiny apartment. Tracing his finger along Steve's soft, smooth neck, Tony wondered what it would be like to leave his mark beneath the collar...then again, that'd probably be too much for the little guy.
"I think you have a dark side. Just a tiny one that has yet to be unleashed."
@VALOREDSUIT Itβs working on me.β
He smiled small before he let his eyes flick down to Tonyβs lips before back up.
βYou gonna give me a real kiss anytime soon, stud?β
@VALOREDSUIT Oh, it made him absolutely trill ~ ! Steve looked into Tonyβs eyes for a long moment at that, the name washing over him and absolutely making him swoon.
βYou sure are quite the sweet talker,β he said low enough for Tony to hear if he were really listening, βI like it. β
@VALOREDSUIT βYou should. Iβd love that. Just gotta be loud enough for me,β he said before tilting his head up so he could peek and smile at Tony.
@VALOREDSUIT Somehow, someway Steve was able to π§π¦π¦π the love Tony had for himβ¦ and it felt real. It scared him a little bit, but mostly it just made him feel secure.
βYou have a pretty voice,β he ended up whispering after a while, eyes closed as he was pressed into Tony.
@VALOREDSUIT Steve got up with Tonyβs help and was glue right into his grasp. He didnβt want to be anywhere else right now.
βI trust you to lead,β he said, his thin hand moving behind Tonyβs head but not holding him there. Arm just resting over his shoulder.
@VALOREDSUIT Steve was so romanced by all of this, his little heart felt like it was putting in overtime! His eyes fluttered open as their lips separate and the offer to dance was put on the table. All the younger man could do was nod.
βMhmβ¦ wanna dance,β he said timidly.
@AKillerNoMore βI was waitinβ to see if it would pass, you know? Itβs not. Probably a flu or something. Really didnβt wanna risk gettinβ you sick, either.β
He moved to sit up a bit then, but when he reached out it wasnβt for the food. It was for her hand.
@AKillerNoMore He leaned into her touch while he could, but then finally listened to her. The only reason he was going to eat was because Jane was here. She got him to do all kinds of stuff he never quite liked or wanted to do.
He crawled under the blankets and just watched the door as he β
@AKillerNoMore He shook his head no, which wasnβt a good thing. Not with his diabetes. Probably adding to the shakes he had right now.
βDidnβt feel like it.β
