[ Steve helps Tony to rinse out the rest of his hair and then, yes, does get out of the tub to go retrieve towels to wrap up his husband in, because he's never gotten over the simple joy of cocooning him in something soft and fluffy and warm. To be quite fair, he enjoys doing this with Alice, too, and she's finally gotten too old to allow papa to help her bathe.
Yes, on the one hand, that makes him quite sad that she's growing up before their eyes, but on the other hand, isn't that part of it? He also has enjoyed seeing how she's developed into a bright young girl, and start developing her own personality. But sometimes she acts so much like her dad that it breaks Steve's heart, like he's two minutes away from mistaking them once she's grown older and started getting into his band tees and into welding.
Steve will fight it all the way, but she idolizes Tony, so to Steve, that seems a little inevitable. ]
Can I interest you in a shoulder rub?
[ These are the types of things that Steve pays attention to, every time that they're here. But it's also part of the deal now. Tony has so many aches and pains and Steve likes to check off that they're doing the most to mitigate each and every one of them. ]
