[ Steve fights not to let it show on his face that that is indeed, a strange request, because Tony looks shy about it. They both know that Steve is maybe a little overprotective of Tony, but at the same time, Tony is currently facing impending organ failure, so maybe Steve has a point.
Still, he understands, when he processes it. Tony has never been weak. And so every time that something happens to make him so, he fights back against it with everything he's got. Shrapnel in his chest, poisoning, immobilization, countless enemies, the snap. Tony barrels through them because it gives him control back. Steve understands that, and he leans up to kiss the underside of Tony's jaw. ]
Alright. But you have to tell me if it's too much.
[ Just because he says he will doesn't mean he actually will, but Steve has noticed when he makes Tony repeat it in a promise, it generally goes a little better. He sits up and takes Tony's face in his hands to kiss him then, sweetly but not cautiously. ]
Now let me wash your hair. You know I love this part.
