IM CRYING OKAY JUST IMAGINE tony trying to explain the basics of roleplaying in bed to steve.
“so it’s us playing out scenes that might not normally happen?” steve asks.
tony nods, happy that steve is getting it. “exactly.”
after a brief silence, steve nods too. “okay. i think i have an idea,” he says.
“ooooh,” tony says, audibly excited, “you wanna surprise me with it tonight?”
so tony also talks him through how they can call it off if either of them want to stop at any time, and they set up to do it that night.
tony’s in the lab when jarvis alerts him that steve is coming. tony grins to himself, excited, but manages to keep working until he hears the door open and steve’s quiet footsteps. then out of nowhere he’s hoisted into a pair of strong arms.
“oh, my,” tony says, feigning demureness. “how forward of you, cap.”
but steve doesn’t talk all the way back up to tony’s bedroom.
“so, what’s going on, hm?” tony purrs when steve finally drapes him on the bed.
steve peels back the covers. joins him. and…pulls the covers back over them. and steve draws him close and pats his waist and says, “night, tony.”
“wait what,” tony says, smushed against steve’s chest, because neither of them are even naked.
“we’re roleplaying going to sleep on time,” steve says. “night, tony.”
tony’s too awed by his boyfriend’s tactics to kick him out of bed.
