<333 extract of an a4 fic we talked about <333

[mizzy]

The last few days have been stressful enough: Tony and Steve stranded in the 70s; having to encounter Howard and Pepper; knowing that exact doubles of them were off in the future thanks to Hank Pym's dodgy 70s version of the serum…. That was all terrible to start with.

This Kang person showing up and giving them a glimpse of the future their doubles experienced… Steve's splintering apart. He doesn't think he's stopped staring at Tony since Kang showed them that terrible vision.

"The other you," Steve says, shakily. "In that footage Kang showed us. He died." Steve's not even sure right now how he's making actual words. He feels gutted, like everything inside of him has been scooped out and thrown across the muddy ground.

"Yeah," Tony says, and shuffles, and that's the moment it hits Steve: Tony doesn't look surprised. He doesn't look surprised at all.

"Tony," Steve asks, unsteadily, "why aren't you surprised?"

"Oh, you know," Tony mumbles, incoherently, suddenly finding a spot on the wall highly interesting. "That's what I do. Take the odds into account. I knew we needed Nebula to go into the past; it was an obvious risk that the Thanos in 2014 would learn about us and take action. We're trying to put all the Infinity Stones in one location; clearly there was a large risk 2014 Thanos would use my own technology to come after them. So there wasn't a choice. I started building that version of the suit as soon as Lang muttered the phrase time heist."

"You never said."

Tony huffs. "I thought about having a snappy conversation about it--"

"Tony."

"But…telling your compatriots that you're heading into war with that you're building something that's got a good shot of becoming your own coffin... I figured it was the kind of mood-killer you don't wanna drop, considering the low odds of success to begin with."

Tony's so matter-of-fact about it. Steve can't feel his own face, but he knows his expression can't be a pleasant one.

"You know, I can't help but be a bit sour about your judgmental expression right now," Tony says, finally looking Steve in the eyes. "It's not like you and I have been especially chatty of late. And sure, there's….somewhat shared blame in that. But I'm used to you not being around to tell things to."

"Planning to die is still one of those things you talk about, no matter how...awkward things are."

"Dying wasn't plan A," Tony growls. "It was just a plan."

"God, you're infuriating. I just had to watch you die, Tony, I--"

"Hey, c'mon."

Exasperated doesn't cover how Steve is feeling right now.

"That wasn't me," Tony says.

Steve shoots Tony an angry glare. "Really?"

"Nah," Tony moves closer, smiling tentatively at him. "That was just some other handsome dumb ass." Steve makes a scoffing noise, but Tony steps closer and takes one of Steve's hands between his own. "I'm right here. See?"

Steve stares mutely as Tony lifts Steve's hand to rest on Tony's neck. It is more soothing than Steve would like, to feel a steady pulse under his fingertips.

"Hey, look," Tony murmurs, looking up at Steve with a mischievous smirk. "We're in premium make-out position. How about that."

Exasperated is starting to fit more as a descriptive word, because Tony is, as always, a stunning combination of beautifully annoying and hella manipulative. "Smooth," Steve compliments, letting an amused wryness thicken his tone. "Tell me. How often does a move like this one work for you?"

"Oh, it's got a hundred percent success rate so far." Tony squints. "Do you want to wreck my batting average? That would be mean. Apparently I just died to save the universe."

Steve flashbacks to that terrible vision: Tony kneeling, bleeding, staring up at Thanos with beautiful defiance, snapping his fingers…

"Shut up about that," Steve breathes, desperate to stop thinking about it.

Tony flashes him a heated look.

"Oh, I'm starting to want you to make me," Tony says, in his quoting voice.

And, well, they are in premium make-out position, Tony's right about that, so Steve gives in to the urge to kiss him.

As far as methods of shutting up Tony go, it's pretty damn good.

You already know how much I love this but I just need to yell about it again - Steve reacting badly to the Kang's vision while Tony isn't surprised at all, and then they actually get to talk about it!!

"You know, I can't help but be a bit sour about your judgmental expression right now," Tony says, finally looking Steve in the eyes. "It's not like you and I have been especially chatty of late. And sure, there's….somewhat shared blame in that. But I'm used to you not being around to tell things to." --- I just loved this, Tony's voice is perfect and yeah they're not used to the other person being around but now they are, and there's a second chance for something better (and make-outs :D)

"We're in premium make-out position. How about that." --- SUCH AN AWESOME TONY LINE AHHHH :D

"Oh, I'm starting to want you to make me," Tony says, in his quoting voice.

And, well, they are in premium make-out position, Tony's right about that, so Steve gives in to the urge to kiss him. --- 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
