Bruce is always warm. He’s that guy that just gives out heat, and while Tony knows that’s from the serum, from how irradiated his cells are, he can’t help but find it comforting. Rogers runs just as hot, but there’s nothing about that blond idiot that is comforting at all. With Bruce looking directly at him now, Tony hooks his fingertips ever so slightly into the edge of fabric between the buttons of his shirt where it peeks from under his rumpled cardigan.

“I’ve actually never asked anyone that. So you’d be my first.” There’s not a whole lot of firsts that Tony hasn’t already had, which might make the process of asking someone ‘to go steady’ could be seen as a ridiculous one. It’s from a time that happened before either of them even started dating too, and again, Tony has a thought about Rogers that does not belong in this moment.

Two in a row? Jesus, that man is infuriating even if he isn’t here!

“If I say yes, will you ditch Johnny and be my date for the sock hop too?”
