Valentine's Day for legacyofiron

[oldschoolpatriot]

As far as romantic gestures went Steve preferred small, intimate gestures. To him the small things showed up much you paid attention to another person and with the person you loved he felt you should pay very close attention. Sometimes though, he say things Tony's way. A big gesture for big feelings. This Valentine's Day Steve took a page out of Tony's playbook.

He hustled his husband out of bed at four in the morning, which got him a lot of complaining but would be worth it in the end. The private jet was waiting for them, stocked with coffee and heart shaped donuts. He let Tony eat his fill and cuddled him for the whole flight.

When they landed he hustled Tony into a car without answering any of his questions. He was certain his husband would recognize the familiar road up to their Malibu home. What he wouldn't expect were the husbands of flowers Steve had filled the house with. Alright, so Pepper had set up most of it but it was Steve's plan.

With his hand on Tony's back he ushered him through the door, letting him take in the sight and all the effort he had gone through for Tony. "Happy Valentine's Day."

When Steve shoved him out of bed, he growled, bitched, and made an all out effort to show his dislike. But then, he'd gone to bed late from working on something... something for Steve. He just hadn't really realized what day it was. Not really. He thought he had more time. Luckily, in his growly less than pleasant disposition, he'd remembered to grab the box with the item inside so he could polish and tweak it for gifting.

Instead he ate a few doughnuts before curling into Steve and going right back to sleep mumbling something about him being lucky he loved him. Tony continued to purr and snuggle in the car only to sort of wake up by the time they walked in the house. He held his bag in one hand and leaned into Steve.

Only to stop as his eyes saw the rooms of the Malibu home filled with flowers. A finger brushed softly over a rose only to smile just a little. Turning to look at Steve, he arched a brow slowly. "How long did it take you to do all this?" It sent a wash of flutters as butterflies erupted in his chest.

"I wanted to polish it first..." Turning to set his bag down, he pulled out the box and opened it slowly. Inside was a handmade antique pocket watch from the 20s he fixed and put into perfect working order. All gears and cogs... no fancy tech... just perfect old fashioned engineering. On the front it was etched in a pattern of the star with weaving initials etched over it of 'SGSR'. On the back was written in Tony's angled and geometric writing 'One lifetime will never be enough. Love Always, Tony'.

"Happy Valentine's day, Steve..."

[oldschoolpatriot]

He ducked his head, looking a little sheepish. "I've been planning for two weeks, roughly. Pepper helped." Because he wanted to make sure everything was a surprise. If Steve had done it, Tony would have definitely caught on that he was up to something. Pepper had helped him keep the secret and give Tony a big surprise. "Do you like it?"

Because Tony looked impressed and happy but he wanted to be sure. He did wake his husband up very, very early and Tony hated that.

Honestly, he should have expected the gift but it still took him by surprise when Tony handed him the watch. It was beautiful and perfect. He shoved it into his pocket so he could grab Tony's face in his hands and kiss him. "You are amazing. I love you."

[legacyofiron]

Pulling one of the flowers out of a vase, he actually smelled the rose. "Should've known Pepper would help. I'll have to remember to give her a raise." Smiling a little, he moved closer to Steve and watched him look at the watch only to blink as it was shoved in a pocket.

In less than a moment, he felt his husband's hands on his face and he returned the kiss slow and deep. Eyes still closed, he smiled at the words. "I love you, too... I'm sorry I didn't give it that extra shine... I've been working on it for a while... it's okay, right? I did all right?"

[oldschoolpatriot]

He grinned against Tony's lips and kissed him again. "It's perfect. It's beautiful. It doesn't need the shine." It might have been a little dull, a little beaten up but the inscription, the engraving, it was an incredible gift.

"You are so much better at this than me." He laughed a little. "Or maybe I'm just biased." Tony had given him exactly the thing he liked, small, intimate with meaning. That was everything Steve loved and of course Tony got it right. No one knew him better.

[legacyofiron]

"You always... you know... look out of place when I drag you out to fancy places. So... I tried to think of something that wasn't so... flashy?" He smiled a little with a tiny huffing laugh was the realization that Steve gave him back what he usually gave. And it made him smile intensely.

"It's all beautiful... it's perfect." Lifting the flower, he gently swept it along Steve's jaw. "I usually hate Valentine's day... but you know what makes this perfect? It's just you and I... in the place I love being with you most."

[oldschoolpatriot]

"As long as I have you on my arm I'm okay. Now I can carry you with me everywhere, in my pocket." He grinned right back at Tony. He got over the top right. He had been a little worried it wouldn't work like when Tony did it.

"Today it's just you and me. Pepper cleared your schedule, I cleared mine and we have this whole house to ourselves." He glanced up for a second, "Well, except for Jarvis but he's very discrete."

[legacyofiron]

"Love... I'll be your trophy husband every time I can. I promise." Smirking just a little, he turned his head to kiss Steve's palm. "I'm really happy you like it. I really wanted to do something you'd love since you know... it's our first Valentine's."

Smiling, he ducked his head just a little before he moved closer and nuzzled into his chest. Dragging the flower petals over Steve's neck, he sighed happily. "Perfect... absolutely perfect." Steve... and everything Steve planned.

[oldschoolpatriot]

With Tony close Steve wrapped his arms around him. "I do like showing you off." He liked the whole world knowing that Tony was his, though by this point the world had to know a hundred times over. That didn't stop Steve from feeling incredibly proud to have Tony as his.

"What would you like to do first?" he asked, nuzzling the top of Tony's head. "Are you still tired? We could go back to bed and sleep in."

[legacyofiron]

"Good. I like showing you off as well. And I'm just so pretty, it would be a waste not to take me out." Smirking playfully, he wrapped one arm about Steve's neck while the other gently brushed his lips with the petals of the rose. As he trailed it from the corner of his lips to drift over his cheek, he kissed him soft and sweet.

"I definitely want you to take me to bed... but not to just sleep. But we can put it off a little while if you want." Purring the words at him, he licked at his husband's lower lip.

[oldschoolpatriot]

"Mmm, I do have a surprise for the bedroom." Steve had planned to save the surprise until later, after teasing Tony with hints of it throughout the day but after the watch he felt like giving him a gift of his own.

He started to lead Tony towards the stairs, keeping his arms around him. "But I don't know, you look kind of tired." He hadn't given up his plan of teasing Tony. That was too much fun to give up.

[legacyofiron]

"Another one? I'm intrigued love of my life." Slipping his hand down into his lover's he weaved their fingers together. "Or do I get a hint at all?"

Moving quietly behind him, he curled himself lightly about Steve and rested his head on his shoulder. "I swear I can't I'm not tired enough to miss out."

[oldschoolpatriot]

"I guess I could give you a hint." He shifted his grip to hold Tony's wrist, giving it a little squeeze before letting go again. That was the hint but he wasn't sure if Tony would catch on. That was half of the fun. Tony was so good at figuring things out Steve liked to sneak things past him when he could.

He chuckled and turned his head to kiss Tony's cheek. "You did sleep on the plane. That was a good nap for you."

[legacyofiron]

His mind latched onto what could possibly be the hint. So when Steve went on to speaking he knew the hand gesture was it. Blinking a few times, he ran the possibilities in his head before grinning slowly. "Steve... darling... please tell me you're going to tie me up."

The idea sent an electrical charge of pleasure through him. "It was plenty. Now I have more important things to worry about... like what fun we'll have in the bedroom."

[oldschoolpatriot]

Of course Tony figured it out. His husband was a genius and knew exactly how to read him. "I could tie you up. I do have what I need here." He tried to make it sound like the idea just occurred to him instead of the carefully planning he did to make sure it would happen.

He wanted to drag out Tony's curiosity a little bit longer. "Tony, we always have fun in the bedroom."

[legacyofiron]

"Could? I prefer to work in absolutes, love." Smirking at that, he almost had a spring in his step. "So.. should I be stripping now or do you plan to take it off for me?" Heading to their bedroom, he turned to walk backward in front of Steve as he started unbuttoned his shirt.

"Yes, we do. Which makes this even more desirable..." He really never thought he'd have a valentine's day as a married man... and this was the best gift. He had Steve for a husband. How did that happen?

[oldschoolpatriot]

"You are very absolute." Steve grinned, seeing Tony so happy made him happy. It also amused him that Tony always got so excited about the kinky stuff. It made Steve feel more confident about it too. It was reassuring. "And I will absolutely tie you up after you've stripped for me."

His plan was once he had Tony all tied up Steve would finally touch him. He was going to make his husband do most of the work first. "So, come on, all those layers, off. And make yourself comfortable on the bed."

[legacyofiron]

"Ooh.. Well then. Since you're being so in control." He laughed lightly before slipped his shirt off to the floor. Easily unbuckling his belt, he soon slid the clothing off his hips and paused in his walking to drop the clothing. Stepping out of the pants and his shoes, he stood in front of Steve with a small smirk completely bare.

"Do you approve?" He slowly stepped closer to his husband and took his time running his hands over the younger's chest. "Do you want your clothes off as well?"

[oldschoolpatriot]

"You know I do." He leaned in and kissed Tony. He couldn't resist when Tony was so happy, so playful. Tony like this was like catnip for Steve. He wanted to roll around and play in Tony, play with Tony. He was happy.

He caught Tony's hands and brought them to his lips, kissing each finger tip. "I will take care of my clothes. Thank you." The whole point of Tony was denying him certain things. One of them was touching Steve. Tony would figure that out.

[legacyofiron]

Grinning, he kissed back and hummed a happy sound. For being so tired not long before, he felt a little more lively and ready for whatever his husband had in store for him. "I know."

His hands stilled as Steve took them and he shivered as those lips brushed each fingertip. "God... you make being corrected sinfully delicious." Dark eyes watched the blonde's lips before they rose to his eyes. "I'm all yours."

[oldschoolpatriot]

He chuckled fondly. Tony was adorable. Steve really loved him, which was very fitting to feel on Valentine's Day. He released his hands, turned him towards the bed and gave him a pat on the ass. "Now, if you want to be tied up go get comfortable. You're distracting me."

But it was a good distraction. This was fun. He wanted to keep playing.

[legacyofiron]

Blinking as his hands became free, he started to complain only to stop as he was turned about. He faltered at the pat and he looked over his shoulder with an arched brow. "You know you love it... and my ass. We both know I have an amazing ass."

Huffing playfully, he slid onto the bed and slowly splayed out over the silk sheets. Deep blue... he got them because they looked so good with Steve's eyes.

[oldschoolpatriot]

"I love every part of you." Steve watched Tony stretch out on the bed with a fond sigh. He looked so good on those sheets, so good in bed Steve licked his lips. That had to wait though.

He moved to their suitcases, which had been brought up. He made sure to keep what he needed buried at the bottom so Tony wouldn't catch a glimpse. He pulled out a pair of red silk ties and wrapped them around his hands before he walked towards Tony with them.
