[ Steve feels a shiver run up his spine and he attributes it to the cold. He turns his face to meet Tony's lips, sort of like payback for earlier. ]

Of course I did, pumpkin.

[ It's way too easy to play along. ]

You're wearing my ring.

[ He almost sounds surprised. ]

I've got practice until four thirty. Do you want to take Rhodey tonight?

[ He turns in Tony's arms and just stays there in a close embrace, like they're sweethearts who need to talk about something important. Up close, Tony smells nice and Steve finds something oddly enchanting about him.

It's definitely the smile. It could melt ice, wrap Steve up in furs on a cold day. Steve's always been attracted to him, not romantically really but more like just in a way where he thinks Tony is interesting and wants to get to know him. Their groups of friends are different and they don't participate in the same activities.... So this is the first time they've interacted, really.

It's really a shame. He kind of likes this. ]
