"I don´t need this" Steve proclaimed stubbornly. He sat on the rim of the bathtub in the Stark Tower penthouse (well, one of the bathtubs in the 4 bathrooms) with his arms crossed and definetely not pouting. Tony stood in front of him, holding a band-aid between his fingers.

"Steve," Tony sighed, "we´ve been over this. We fought the Wrecking Crew today. You´re lucky that the worst injury you got is a cut in your face.

Tony´s beaming smile made Steve forgive him that he would probably suffer from a lot of mockery (mostly from the side of Luke and Peter) in the future. "Everything alright now, Steve?" Tony asked, still smiling.

"I´m not sure...want to kiss it better?" Steve returned with a broad grin of his own. Tony placed a slightly mockful kiss on the band aid. "Any other place that need to be kissed?" he asked. Steve pulled Tony down next to him. "Now that you mention it..."
