Something that should exist...is this story idea.
Okay, so I had this idea for a Steve/Tony plot bunny. (I'm totally sorta outing one of my prompts on the kinkmeme) And if anyone wants to write it, please do. I will give you something.
So, sometime after being defrosted, Steve totally is tired of everything...politics, superheroing...maybe he has ptsd or something...he needs a break. He tells all this to Tony, who flippantly says something like...too bad you have a thing about money or you could totally be my mistress (because he's an ass). And Steve actually stops and gives Tony a look and is all, do we need to have separate rooms?
And Tony, who was joking, actually looks up at Steve and notices the crazy around his eyes and is all...'whatever you want, gorgeous.'
Tony decides to humour Steve so he doesn't actually lose his shit and turn into a super villain or something. So, Steve moves into his room, and lets Tony buy him stuff, and generally tries to learn how to relax.
He gets bored quickly, so he takes to going to work with Tony...and lounges on a Steve-sized sofa Tony bought for him...barefoot and wearing worn out MIT sweat pants and a Iron Man t-shirt. He draws with the ridiculously expensive arts supplies Tony bought...or reads on an e-reader and makes suggestions to Tony about how to run his business. And they have naked lunch every day.
And sometimes, Steve will say, don't do business with this guy...he eats puppies or something and Tony will nod and tell whomever to get lost and the person will sputter and Tony has them removed from the building.
And after a few months, Steve starts to feel guilty...then he notices he's not the only one more relaxed. Tony's more relaxed. He's not drinking...his work hours are less insane. His business is better than ever. And Tony really liked the new logo Steve drew for him...And so, he shrugs and says, okay.
And whenever Tony gets in his dark moods, Steve will say something like, 'so there's this chocolate made in the Swiss Alps by blind Tibetan Monks and costs like five thousand dollars a piece...I wonder what that tastes like' and he'll wake up to Tony smiling with a five pound box...and Steve will call him ridiculous and make a show of appreciating it and then makes a show of appreciating Tony...in bed.
And then...I dunno, they maybe get married or something and later, when they're both ready for it--two or three or five years later, Steve becomes Captain America again.
(yes, I do have a John/Rodney kept man fic...I love that trope. sue me. lol)
