Kathryn here! I found a prompt on Tumblr that said "Use the line: 'Did you just smell me?'" So I decided to do some Steve x Loki x Tony thingy. They are not an actual pair, but they are like the main three.

I DO NOT OWN ANYONE FROM THE AVENGERS. *SOBBING*

Clearly, Steve Rogers was a nice smelling man. But did anyone really notice when he didn't wear his usual cologne?

Tony did, so did Loki.

Tony walked into the kitchen one morning, making his usual coffee, when he saw Steve making the usual pancakes for the whole team. The small glances and hellos were exchanged, and right when Tony was about to leave, he noticed something different about the air. There wasn't the musky smell of cologne from his team mate.

He looked at Steve, unaware of anything Tony was doing, and walked closer to him and took a wiff at the air; to his surprise, no cologne on that day. But then he remembered that Steve still hasn't taken his morning jog, so he probably didn't put it on until after.

"Tony? Are you alright? You kinda dozed off there..," Steve was looking directly at Tony, whose face flushed.

"I'm fine, just go back to cooking, I just thought there was a bug on your back," quickly making that excuse he ran out of the kitchen to the elevator avoiding Steve for the rest of the day.

Loki woke up later than Tony, he wasn't much of an early-bird unlike Tony. Seeing his food-green-colored pancakes, he put the plate on the table and grabbed a fork and maple syrup. Living on Midgard as punishment was bad (without most of his magic), but when he figured out he had to stay with his oaf of a brother's pretty boy band with the lady spider he could practically just die. So like that Midgardian saying: "If you can't beat them, join them."

He launched into his pancakes as Dr. Banner made his way into the kitchen to grab his usual tea and mug. A small nod and twiddle of his fingers made Loki know that he recognized his presence. Banner soon left, leaving Loki alone again.

After finishing his first pancake, Steve walked in. A tight white sweaty shirt and sweatpants meant he went for a run and hit the gym for a few rounds, but usually he smells exceptionally good by the time he comes back.

Today was different.

Steve walked into the kitchen, went straight to the fridge, and took out a water bottle, and walked to the island of the kitchen. He took out a stool from under and sat down, glancing at Loki at sighing a "hi". Loki finished his other pancake, strode to the sink and took a wiff at the air. It smelled like sweat and maple syrup, but not Steve's usual musk.

"Hello, Steve. How was your morning?" Loki took this time to walk behind Steve and take another wiff and make his deductions clear.

He wasn't wearing his usual cologne.

As Steve went on talking about the same old lady that talks to him about the past, Loki glanced up at Steve and smiled, making sure he wasn't seen.

He bent down to the crook of the back of his neck, he inhaled deeply and...

"Did you just smell me?"
