"Less history books, more dad," Tony muttered, and it said something about his current state of lassitude that he couldn't even bring himself to sound slightly bitter about it. Probably had something to do with the fact that Steve was right here, touching him. He felt more relaxed than he could even remember, and all they'd managed so far was some vague cuddling. Go figure.

"But nobody does, really. Lead the Avengers. It's been kind of a background project. Hasn't really been needed." And Tony Stark not recommended still stung a little, but he wasn't intending to share that part. "I can give you the full rundown if you really want it--" more information that Tony was supposed to know, probably, "--but I guess if they told you about it, they already know who they want in charge."

He paused for a moment, tilting his head to peer up at him. "I'm a consultant for it, technically. Iron Man. I've git a suit of armor."

Right, yes, Howard. It would take him a little time to wrap his head around Howard having a son. Though, to be fair, the man must have matured a lot after he crashed the plane. But while he hoped for a happy life image for all of them, it seemed a little far fetched with the guarded look in Tony's eyes. The look intensified each time he mentioned Howard too. It didn't take much to put two and two together. Could the soulmate bond help there? He really needed to find out more about soulmates.

"Oh, they didn't tell you who they are putting in charge," Steve responded with, frowning for a moment. Did they expect him to not say anything? "Consultant with a suit of armor," he repeated. Sure, made plenty of sense. "Why aren't you a member if you have a suit of armor I am guessing you made yourself?" Of course, Steve would ask about it, Tony. Steve asked and commented on plenty he probably shouldn't.

Tony grumbled something irritated sounding under his breath and almost absently let his head fall against Steve's shoulder. Well, better he find all this out now. And from him, instead of SHIELD.

"Because I'm an immature, unreliable narcissist." It was completely matter-of-fact, the way he said it. And not entirely untrue, for all that he really hadn't been at his best when they'd done that little assessment. "And also I have issues with authority and issues with secretive government agencies and Fury and I don't particularly get along." That much had probably been clear.

"It's not a big deal. They'll probably call me in when they need the big guns, and I don't need to hang around for the inevitable team building exercises anyway."
stevegrogers: (thinking)

[personal profile] stevegrogers 2017-07-29 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
A sort of harsh assessment and not overly constructive at all. What sort of establishment had SHIELD morphed itself into? People met constructive criticism far better than just outright negativity. A way to adapt and learn, rather than just feel badly and dwell. He would need to change more than a few things when he assumed the leadership position.

The easy closeness made him momentarily forget being upset on Tony's behalf, though. He resumed running his hand up and down Tony's side to 'help'.

"Well, what if I told you that - they picked a leader and - it's me," Steve responded with a slightly nervous look running over his face. "I haven't really thought of team building exercises but I should probably get on that." He paused for a second. "They want me to meet the team later - if you want to come with me? Maybe they can see you're not unreliable at all."
buildsomething: (fight me)

[personal profile] buildsomething 2017-07-31 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, no kidding." Obviously, Steve was going to be in charge. Who else? The rest of it just made him give an amused little snort, though.

"I kind of am. You haven't known me that long." How long would it take for Steve to get a crash course in Stark? SHIELD would probably give him their assessment as soon as he officially signed on. Even if he was critical about some of it, he'd have to catch on to the majority. Or SHIELD could just show him half the tabloids he'd been in. One or the other would probably do it.

It was kind of hard to think about all that while Steve was still petting him, though.

"I'll go if you really want me to, but somehow I doubt you're going to change anyone's mind."

"I kinda have instincts about people," Steve explained with a slight shrug of his shoulder. "I'm not usually wrong." At least, in his own time period he managed to make the right calls by giving the correct people a chance and flourish in what he instructed of them. He tended to read people rather well but he spent most of his life on the outside looking in. Being so sick in his youth gave him plenty of time to just watch and take in the smallest of details. Who knew how things would play out now with how out of sorts he felt, though.

Letting out a breath, he pressed a little closer to Tony's warmth. "You'd be surprised but I do want you to come. I'm not - always great with first impressions." The others would probably not like him at all or doubt SHIELD'S insistence on giving him the leadership position. He just needed to find his footing, though, and slip back into the mask of Captain America. Playing the confident, take charge Captain became second nature during the Tour. A direct contrast from his actual personality.

He nearly jumped a few seconds later when they were informed the pizzas were there.
buildsomething: (no really?)

Tony might have been about to answer, but instead he found himself letting out an amused huff at Steve's startled twitch. "I'll explain in a moment," he said, absently patting the man's thigh as he levered himself up and went to go deal with the delivery. There were benefits to being known as a good tipper.

When he came back loaded with boxes, Tony just moved to set them all right down on the coffee table. They weren't exactly standing on ceremony, and he had a feeling Steve could probably use the calorie boost in a hurry. "Dig in," he said with a distracted wave as he detoured over to the bar to get himself a drink.

"So that's JARVIS," he called as he poured out a fairly healthy portion of whiskey out for himself. Didn't always go with pizza, but screw it he needed a drink. "He runs the house. You can think of him as a particularly helpful robot without the body."

[personal profile] stevegrogers 2017-08-01 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
The moment Tony moved he felt the absence nearly bone deep and it rattled him to have such a strong connection to someone he didn't even know. Usually, it took him awhile to become attached to anyone else and even longer to drop any of his walls. He knew how to play a part well and seemed very simple an approachable but all for show. Beyond the mask, there were so many parts of himself he kept hidden and never really allowed himself to explore the possibilities.

When did he ever really have the chance to?

Eyeing the pizza boxes, he flipped one open and took in the wonderful aroma of pepperoni. Yes. Something not even time seemed to change. Wonderful. Less wonderful, the guarded way Tony appeared now with some distance between them.

"What's a robot?" he asked after he picked up a slice of pizza. He gave a tilt of his head before he took a bite and chewed it thoughtfully. "He does things for your house?" Sure, made perfect sense to someone from the 30s.
buildsomething: (drink?)

[personal profile] buildsomething 2017-08-02 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Really?" Tony's eyebrows went up as he put the cap back on the bottle and carried his glass over to the couch. He didn't press himself back against Steve's side, but only because it would probably make eating awkward. Instead, he settled in to face him, entire body pointing in Steve's direction. "You never saw Metropolis or anything?" Now that one he definitely knew predated Steve's deep freeze.

Tony slipped slowly at his drink as he thought about how to explain it. "It's an automaton," he said finally, watching Steve over the rim of the glass. "Something mechanical that moves independently. JARVIS is an artificial intelligence, though. Programming meant to mimic how a person thinks. Or manage it better than people do." He saluted his glass at the nearest wall. "He runs security around here and things."
stevegrogers: (lost in thought)

[personal profile] stevegrogers 2017-08-06 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Eating more of the pizza, he only offered a shrug until he managed to finish a slice. "I was never really into science fiction when I was younger. That was always Bucky's scene. I preferred historical things and fantasy." On one end of things, he enjoyed things based around true life events but on the other end he had a great fondness for dragons, elves and other types of fairy tales. His ma read fairy tales to him in his youth and the love for it all just grew from there. She told him all kinds of mythological stories as well.

"He helps you, then," Steve summarized with a nod, grabbing for another slice of pizza. "Is he the only one you created?" It seemed a little out there to him but he heard the JARVIS speak just moments ago. "Is he - always around?" But something artificial couldn't really see him, could it? At least, not similar to the way a person would?
buildsomething: (science!)

[personal profile] buildsomething 2017-08-06 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Tony opened his mouth and then immediately closed it again. This whole actually thinking about what he was going to say instead of just blurting out the first thing that came to mind thing was proving to be actually kind of difficult. Who knew.

"He's the only AI I've made, yeah," he said finally. "I've got other robots, though. You'll probably meet them if you're going to be hanging around here." There was the slightest hesitation over that before Tony moved smoothly over it. He wasn't going to make assumptions. Couldn't.

"And he's always around in terms of the fact that he's a program. He doesn't exactly turn off. But if that...bothers you, we can see about putting in blackout protocols. If you want."
stevegrogers: (listening)

[personal profile] stevegrogers 2017-08-07 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
After a fourth slice, he decided not to grab anymore because it seemed a little rude to eat so much, especially around someone new. The whole super soldier metabolism thing could be a bit of a nightmare and he still wondered how he made it through the war on such stingy rations. At least, the current time period from what he had seen seemed to have a lot more food options. It might be a whole new food world possibility.

"Do you want me to stay here?" Steve asked, already picking up on the leave me alone vibes Tony practically radiated with. Tony might not want a soulmate at all and then one so confused and lost about everything.

"No. I mean. It's okay. It'll just take some getting used to. He'll - always answer if I say something to him?"
buildsomething: (that's almost funny)

[personal profile] buildsomething 2017-08-08 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
"That's up to you. God knows I've got the space, but you might want to see more of the modern world than an almost literal ivory tower." Or he might want space from Tony himself. He wouldn't be the first. Tony had been told repeatedly and in no uncertain terms that he could be a bit much. How much more would his soulmate have to deal with?

"But yeah, he's always available. And you can ask him pretty much anything, I guarantee you he's too polite to judge," Tony continued with a fond little smile that he clearly didn't notice he was wearing. Not to mention that there was almost nothing Steve could do or say that would be anywhere near as dumb as anything Tony had already inflicted on the poor AI. JARVIS' patience really was impressive.

He lifted the glass again only to pause when he realized Steve was hovering a little awkwardly over the pizza. "Go ahead and finish it," he said, gesturing with his free hand. "That one's just for you. There's a second in the kitchen."
stevegrogers: (thinking)

[personal profile] stevegrogers 2017-08-13 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Eyes drifting around for a moment, he nodded to himself. There were plenty of things he needed to decide with being in the new era. It would be such a big change and no one seemed to want to give him too much time to adjust and try to come to terms with it. SHIELD already wanted to throw him into the deep end and everyone else acted as if he should be fine with everything. Didn't they realize he had lost everything? Absolutely everything, even himself in a way.

"If I stay here - in the tower - would you want me here or another room?" It felt so awkward to have to ask but he didn't want to get something wrong. The way Fury described Tony, well, it painted a certain kind of picture and one without the joy of soulmates in it.

Nodding his head, he grabbed for another slice, giving Tony a small smile. "Thank you. You've been really nice." Manners meant plenty even if he felt out of sorts at the moment.
buildsomething: (no really)

[personal profile] buildsomething 2017-08-14 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"You'd probably be one of the few to think so," Tony said with a snort that was mostly amused. Most people just assumed it was self-interest of some stripe. And being nice to his soulmate was pretty much the ultimate in self-interest, wasn't it? His soulmate. Jesus. It still hadn't properly sunk in.

"But probably not a bad idea to give us both space while we adjust, yeah?" Nevermind that the entire building was technically Tony's space. But that was good, giving them the option to be close but not in each other's pockets. The need to keep Steve close and the desperate attempts not to seem to clingy were at constant odds in his head, and it was almost giving him a headache. Last thing he needed would be to immediately scare the poor man off.

"But honestly, if you let me know anything you want or think you might need, let me know and I can probably get it for you." He shrugged, as unconcerned as he could make the the gesture look. Like it was nothing.
stevegrogers: (listening)

[personal profile] stevegrogers 2017-08-27 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Doesn't interact well with others.

One of many offhand comments the Director had about Tony but Steve didn't really know what to think about any of it because wouldn't he have a different experience with the whole soulmate aspect to everything? Then again the space comment hurt a little bit but he made sure to keep the look off his face, keeping most of his focus on pizza eating instead. It gave him something to do with his hands and not look as awkward as he would have otherwise. After he finished another slice, he nodded his head. "That sounds like a good idea. How many floors does this place have?" Plenty of space if they were on separate floors.

No need for him to be the only one reaching out and putting himself out there.

Giving a faint smile, he shook his head this time. "I don't need much. Just some clothes and if you could show me where a gym is." Why work on his problems when he could just punch his way through things? A perfect solution really.
buildsomething: (puzzling)

[personal profile] buildsomething 2017-08-27 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't know, seventy? Eighty? Most of them are for the company, but the top bunch are all residential." Like he didn't know every spec of the building. But he was trying to play it cool, trying hard enough that he didn't register the new tension in Steve at all.

"Clothes, I can do. And there's a gym in the building, it's a couple floors down." He paused, actually glancing over at Steve long enough to flick his eyes over him. "I'll trick out a couple bags for you, set them up for your weight class." He made it sound so easy. As if it wouldn't take sourcing all new materials. But that, at least, he could do. Make him things, give him things. That, Tony understood.
stevegrogers: (listening)

[personal profile] stevegrogers 2017-08-31 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Listening carefully, he gave a little nod of his head since he did need a place to stay. The. Director mentioned a few areas and government aspects to them but Steve would prefer elsewhere. Being so tightly underneath the governments thumb didn't appeal to him at all. He had enough of it during the war and how strict guidelines were had probably worsened over the years. "Is there a floor not being used or barely used?" The question probably put a shine on his reflex to distancing himself but he couldn't help it.

The mention of a gym in the building seeped a little of the tension from his muscles. It'd help with his need for avoidance and bottling everything up. "Isn't it difficult to make something uh for my weight class? Nothing really exists. You'd have to--" With a pause, he gave a tiny smile. "Do you promise to invent things for all the guys you find?" Could that be a small hint of jealousy?
buildsomething: (you're cute)

[personal profile] buildsomething 2017-09-01 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Tony just laughed and let his head fall back against the couch cushions. "Just the ones who need it," he said, a small smile still playing over his mouth. Now that they were here and fed and the knot in his chest that he was pretty sure was Steve was feeling much more relaxed, it was like Tony suddenly remembered how tired he was. It was a good feeling, warm and comfortable, and he tucked himself into the corner of the couch.

"I'm sure I can find a place for you," he added. "I'll start setting things up tomorrow. You have preferences on furniture? And, I don't know, curtains?" What else were you supposed to put in? Tony had barely done it for his own areas, but something in him wanted to make sure he took care of it for Steve. That it was him that put everything together.
stevegrogers: (profile. looking down.)

[personal profile] stevegrogers 2017-09-15 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
The small grin returned to his face, more of the tension and panic slowly receding for the time being. He knew sooner rather than later the pain would return, the loss heavily falling onto his shoulders to drag him through the grim and mud always resting below him. Life kept pushing at him but he never stayed down for long. Worry seemed to ooze away as well but that must have been on Tony's end. How much would they feel from one another? It might make private moments a little difficult and harder to hide.

While he wanted to reach out for Tony or press against him, he refrained and focused on his words instead. "Uhh - sturdy?" Smooth, Rogers. "I mean - never really had much of a choice. Before - kinda took whatever was given or found. It doesn't - anything will be fine." He ducked his head, grabbing for his drink to sip at and give his hands something to do.

"What about tonight?"
buildsomething: (totally calm)

[personal profile] buildsomething 2017-09-16 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
"What about it?" Tony blinked at him, then tipped his head in consideration. Okay, he could probably guess where Steve's head was at. Honestly, if he tried, he was supposed to be able to feel exactly what Steve was feeling but something about that felt off. Invasive, if he was doing it on purpose. An intimacy he hadn't earned yet.

"I've got a guest room, if that's what you mean." He waved one hand out at the general space around them. "Make yourself at home. Mi casa es whatever."
stevegrogers: (lost in thought)

[personal profile] stevegrogers 2017-09-22 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
A guest room. The remark spoke volumes of Tony's current state with their soulmates revelation and it didn't really surprise him. No one wanted to really be a soulmate of his, either before the war or now because of so much baggage. If he really thought about it did he want a soulmate either? The finality of it and the consuming strength others spoke of worried him, especially with all the expectations he faced and the enemies he collected over the years. It would be easier to not have a bond, to break it for them both.

"Thank you," he remarked, standing up after he set down the glass. "I should get ready. Did you still want to come with me to meet the team?" The director also had a mission for him already, it seemed it didn't matter he just woke up in the new era. They were throwing him head first without a safety belt into the deepest depths.
buildsomething: (shadows)

[personal profile] buildsomething 2017-09-23 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
One of Tony's eyebrows lifted slightly at the invitation. There were so many things he could say, wanted to say. Wanted to ask if he was even actually invited.

What he found himself saying instead was, "sure." The simplicity of it made him pause for just a second, but he didn't try to contradict himself. It was instinctual, that need to keep Steve in sight, as close as he could keep him. He definitely wasn't about to lose him into the bowels of SHIELD and god knew what Fury had planned.

With a quiet groan, he pushed himself to his feet after him. "Now?"
stevegrogers: (lost in thought)

[personal profile] stevegrogers 2017-10-01 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Like they say - no time like the present," Steve responded with a slight shrug of one shoulder but he added a few seconds later - "Director Fury is expecting a team meet and greet. He has something else to inform me of too." Both made him so nervous, too much of the unknown to contend with and he sit hadn't processed waking up in a new time. When he crashed the plane, he expected it to be the end and to see his family again. It took so long for it to all end for him and now he had to fight again. Now, he had to try and find a new place to belong in, something he never excelled at.

Frowning, he went into the bathroom, gazing at everything. "You wouldn't happen to have anything that would fit me do you? I still smell like hospital and tests."
buildsomething: (shadows)

[personal profile] buildsomething 2017-10-01 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not...handy." Definitely nothing that would actually fit Steve, he thought as he trailed unconsciously after him. He did at least pause in the doorway, leaning against the jamb as he watched Steve inspect the place. "We can grab you something, though. I can have it delivered here if you don't want to deal with going into a store." There were benefits to being disgustingly wealthy, after all.

"Hey," he found himself saying, not-quite-twitching against the overwhelming feeling of loss bubbling up behind his sternum. His hand came up to press against the glow of the reactor, a movement Tony clearly wasn't aware he was making. "It's going to be okay. We'll figure it out."
