[ Hooked to an IV is maybe a bad idea. Even Steve knows it takes awhile for all that to get transferred in and moved around through the bloodstream to take effect - that's one of the reasons the serum took so many injection sites. That, and Steve had been so small. Excess was everything in those days, when everyone had to scrape by.

Tony makes such a simple request, and Steve nods his assent and leaves him a gentle kiss. ]

I'm not going anywhere, Tony. I'm all yours, remember?

[ But he does look tired, and yes, Steve will have to nag him to get a little rest. If he overdoes it, he will in fact, probably drag Bruce and Shuri along with him, and Steve makes it his priority to keep all of them in fighting condition. Not to mention, he doesn't want to be the one putting Alice down to bed when she finally does fall asleep, because then he might, as well. ]

Oh? I'll have to be there next time.

[ Steve lays just a few more kisses over Tony like falling leaves, and then lets go. ]

I'm going to draw us a bath. No complaints.

[ As long as everyone's settled in for the night, he can use the rest of the evening to indulge and take care of his sweetheart. They've had a long day. Tony's had a long month. After that, maybe they'll all sit out on the porch and look over the dark water for a bit, but work can start back up tomorrow. ]
