they’ve been coming to the park for years, almost without fail

every sunday afternoon

FOR TALLY who completed her homework and also for me because i want a new wallpaper

shares with you guys too

Tony’s eating habits are still lousy.  He’s gonna refuse to share that burrito, you know it.

It hadn’t started out as a tradition, or anything symbolic, or anything at all, really. Tony had just grabbed Steve’s hand one day and had started tugging him along behind him, saying, come on, Rogers, you promised me a date and I’m going to fucking get one, doombot invasion notwithstanding.

Tony had never been strong enough for the super-soldier serum, but Steve had always let Tony drag him wherever he wanted.

It’s still the same, all these years later, except that the slim-cut trees that came up to their knees on their first walk now come up to their waists, and Steve and Tony lean into each other more.

Tony’s bitched his way through three feet of snow beside Steve for their Sunday walk, one or both of them have limped on occasion, and nine times out of ten, they manage to make it to the park and through it without getting attacked or kidnapped or get a call from Fury about a rampage of killer vacuum cleaners down Main Street.

They both have more grey in their hair- Tony’s started a few months before their first date and Steve’s started nearly a decade after, close to their first wedding anniversary- and it’s slow, but it’s there. In Tony’s the grey is almost overrunning it now, in thick rivers of it down his scalp, and every time he catches a few new greys on Steve’s head he flicks at them and grins.

Neither of them get called in much anymore. There are other surperheroes, and more every day- there are up-and-comers, there are ones that strike out on their own, there are the Young Avengers and the Teen Avengers and god knows how many others there are going to be by this time next week.

There are still battles, there are still times where they have to suit up and dodge explosions and flirt with each other on the comms until someone yells at them to shut the hell up, but other than the occasional phone call, they have their own lives. They know the name of the woman they buy flowers from, along with how her kids are doing, and they sneak in an extra tip every time they can. There’s a restaurant down the block that knows their regular and will send it up to them if they’re busy. Bruce and Clint and Natasha come by once a fortnight and Coulson, Thor and the others drop in when they can.

So Steve and Tony are walking slower, nowadays. But every Sunday, they laze around in bed until one Tony eventually says, I’m pretty sure you promised me a date.

Steve will say it into Tony’s neck: Doombot invasion notwithstanding?

Tony will laugh like he always does, and lean in, only pulling back when they’re on the verge of getting too distracted, and then they’ll pull each other out of bed and throw on some clothes, stopping every once in a while to kiss. Then they’ll walk down the road to the park, maybe buy some food from whoever’s selling it that day, and walk their way around the park until they get home again.

Everything’s alright, when you’re right here by my side. When you look me in the eyes.

I hope that you are a disaster. I’m sorry, but I do. I hope that you are thunder and lightning. I hope you are a forest fire, I hope you kill the dead wood and burn off the rotting leaves. With the canopy gone, the sun can get in. You need new growth. I hope you’re terrible and broken and perfect.

They’d never been lovers, of course, not in the physical sense. But they’ve been lovers as most of us manage, loving through expressions and gestures and the palm set softly upon the bruise at the necessary moment. Lovers by inclination rather than by lust. Lovers, that is, by love.

Just look at the way Tony looks at Steve when Fury is yelling at them

People with kind hearts make me feel dirty. Like I need to give my personality a bath or something. Rub it clean of my neuroses and judgments. But that’s a good thing. When someone inspires you to take a long hard look at yourself and question all of your bad habits, they’re someone worth keeping around. It’s all about finding that person who’s able to hold up a mirror to your life and cause you to reevaluate the noise. It’s all about wanting to be a better man.

I know you’ll surprise me.

basically, this is all valtyr’s idea therefore her fault. aLL HER FAULT

backstory provided by val:

• this is set in the ults verse.
• tony finds out about a secret weapon greg and fury has hidden away in a secret government facility and goes to investigate
• finds out they’re mini supersoldiers, all under 5-6 years old, based directly from steve and decides that he wants all and greg will have none. he takes all 12 back home
• steve eavesdrops on greg and fury about a missing ‘weapon’ tony stole and goes to visit tony at 2am by slamming him against the wall ooh la la
• by the time steve finds out about this the kids are very attached to tony because he’s nicer than the facility and gives them anything they want - (“here is my credit card”)
• showdown between greg and fury, and tony and steve. steve decides that pros outweigh the cons if he coparents the kids with tony and sticks by tony’s decision to not give up the kids at all ever
• CUE DISNEYWORLD ADVENTURES ETC
• basically it’s just an excuse to have ults steve with babies
• also, they find out that 6 of those ministeves are actually ministephanies with unfortunate standardized military haircuts during bathtime. feel free to guess who’s a girl and who’s a boy! huu huu

I should’ve posted this together, but

Loving you feels like learning a foreign language. At first it doesn’t make any sense to me and I don’t understand what I keep doing wrong. I’m flustered and I sound stupid.

But the point of learning a language is that the more time you spend with it, the better you get. Being in love with you feels like learning more about you, what you like, what you don’t like.Loving you feels like being out and seeing something that reminds me of you. Love is like being fluent in you.
