Tony huffed a laugh out into the kiss, smiling almost helplessly. That knot of unhappiness that had been sitting heavily behind his sternum was all but gone for the moment, and it was blowing Tony's mind slightly that it was because of him. He could do that, make things better for Steve just by being there. Who knew?

The grip on Steve's side tightened a little, then slid around to press against his back as Steve shifted closer. They were almost flush now, bodies tucked together, and even with the water still pouring down over them it was the most comfortable Tony could remember being.

"Need is a strong word," he teased back in between kisses. He did have to pull back to breathe every so often, unfortunately.
