Summer Cold? Summer cold.
Okay, This just popped into my mind while playing Animal Crossing.
I was in the coffee shop with Brewster, and for some reason, my mind decided that Coffee= Hot Cocoa, and that me and Brewster= Tony and Steve.
I don't get myself sometimes.
Disclaimer: If I actually owned these characters, I would be the happiest woman alive.
Winter meant one thing to Tony, other than snow, Christmas, colds, cards, and crappy driving conditions. And that was hot cocoa.
Tony Stark loved hot cocoa, especially with little mini marshmallows in it, or with the crème whip that Steve made. Or both, when he was feeling especially in need of refreshment.
That heavenly aroma greeted him at the door, and beckoned him in, stripping him of his heavy winter jacket and scarf as he went, boots being lost somewhere as he moved toward the counter that Steve was at, smiling at him and putting a dollop of crème on the top of two piping mugs of hot cocoa. Bruce and Thor were on the couch, the scientist on the God's lap and hand feeding him marshmallows.
Thor reached up and tapped Bruce's nose, leaving a little drop of the crème there, and Bruce blushed and giggled- actually giggled.
Tony paid them no mind beyond that, and continued toward Steve, who held out a mug to him.
"You're a fucking godsend." He muttered, taking the mug happily and shaking snowflakes from his hair. He swiped his finger across the crème, and stuck it in his mouth as Steve chuckled.
"I know." He replied simply, glancing at the two on the couch, who were busy cuddling and playing with each other's hair.
Tony waited another few moments before giving in and taking a long drink from the tall mug. He felt the thick, rich liquid run down his throat, warming him from the inside out. When he took his lips away, his tongue poked at a tooth, trying to dislodge a stuck mini marshmallow.
Steve chuckled at him, reached up, swiping the crème from the tip of his red nose with a finger and licking it off.
"Slob," He commented half-heartedly, smiling. Tony chuckled.
"Neat freak." He replied.
Steve just rolled his eyes, but kept smiling anyway.
Tony took another drink, grinning as he did. When he took the mug away this time, there was a white moustache on his upper lip, and he went to lick it off.
"You missed a spot." Steve commented idly, leaning against the counter across from him. Tony pouted cutely.
"Picky much. Where?" The blonde chuckled and leaned in.
"Just there…" He gently kissed the slightly shorter man, reaching up to cup his cheek. Tony hummed, and after a few moments, they parted. He smiled, gripping the V in the V-neck he was wearing.
"But picky can be good," he rationalized out loud, looking up at the Super Soldier.
"Good?" The blonde asked, setting his cocoa on the counter behind Tony. The latter placed his mug behind him as well, and looped his arms around Steve's neck.
"Almost hot cocoa good."
I don't even like hot cocoa :I
And ThorxBruce, because I can.
Actually, because I actually think it's a cute pairing that just isn't explored at all.
Come at me, internet.
