Okay, so. With all the excitement that's been building over the last week or so, there seems to be an unreasonable amount of negativity coming along with it. And that just won't do! So here's what I propose:

And it had been Bruce's wryly amused voice that snapped them both out of it so fast, they probably had mental whiplash.
Steve had blushed and was trying to find a way to explain his actions, but then Tony had recovered and had a wide smirk on his face. Then Tony was dragging him over to Bruce by a hand on Steve's own.
"Awww don't be jealous, Bruce. You know I love you too," Tony said, and then slung his other arm around Bruce's waist and then planted a kiss on Bruce's lips.
For his part, Bruce only looked more amused, shaking his head at Tony in fond exasperation. "I'm not jealous, Tony. But the UST in the air between the two of you for the past week was almost enough for the Other Guy to make an appearance. I'm glad it's actually now resolved."
"Uh..." Steve managed.
"Don't worry, Steve," Tony said, turning back to him. "All's good. Well. All will be good as soon as Bruce plants one on you as well. Then everything will be official!"
"Official?" Steve echoed.
"Official," Tony affirmed without hesitation. "Go on, Bruce. You know you want to."
Bruce chuckled, let go of Tony, stepped towards Steve and while usually Steve had much better reaction time than this, Bruce took hold of Steve's right hand with his left and kissed the back of it before Steve could pull away.
Tony pouted. "You know that wasn't what I meant, Banner."
"You didn't specify anything else, Stark."
"Um..."
"True. I guess I should've given more details, like really, really down-to-the-last-letter details. BUT. Details, you know how I like to have leeway and all that space for improvisation. So, even though I didn't get what I wanted - and really, Bruce, honey, you should know how I tick by now - I'll be christening our floors the Stark Spangled Banner!"
"The what?" Steve couldn't decide whether to be scandalized or not because he actually got that pun, but either way, he was blushing even more.
Bruce's reaction was a lot more... zen. But it was Bruce, and if he had dealt with all the tension between Tony and Steve for the past week in a perfectly calm manner, then this was practically nothing.
"Not that I approve, but it's better than some of the other puns you've used," Bruce said. "Now that this is done, I'd been about to come to tell the both of you that dinner was ready when JARVIS alerted me to your... argument. It's curry tonight."
Everyone knew that Bruce made awesome curry, and then Steve found himself being led towards the elevator with Tony on one side and Bruce on the other.
And the rest was, as they say, history.
So Steve might not get how everything came to be, but it probably wasn't all that important anyway. Even when he found out about another of Tony's bad puns.
