Random Steve+Tony ficlet
Avengers, G, Tony and Steve watch a movie.
---
It's the chest-burster that gets him. This explosion of hungry alien from his chest, and he has to remember to breathe, even as he covers the reactor with a hand and hopes that no one noticed his reaction.
He's lucky: Steve's still enthralled with the movie, leaning forward in his seat, popcorn forgotten as everything on the Nostromo goes to hell.
Tony takes a deep breath, and carefully reaches out to take Steve's hand. "Not a word," he hisses, but Steve just gives him a quick smile before his attention is caught again.
Alien? A classic, but Tony won't show it to the next time-traveler he has to catch up on the future.
