"Tony."
"Mmph."
"Tony. Wake up."
"Nuh-uh."
Tony felt a trail of kisses start from the base of his neck, up to his ear. "Up," Steve whispered.
"Mmm... tickles," Tony mumbled back. Steve sighed and left Tony's side. He felt a quick movement of material then a sharp slap of cold air. "Jesus! Steve!" He whined.
Steve held up the duvet triumphantly. "You need to get up."
"Why?" Tony asked, spreading out the last syllable.
"We're visiting my grandmother, 'member?"
"It's not that I don't want to meet her, it's just... sleep."
Steve moved over towards the dresser. After freshman year, the two students decided to rent an apartment together. Tony had told Howard that Steve was just a roommate-not quite ready to enter that whole new world of disappointment that would come from being bi.
Tony felt a heap of clothes land on his back. "Sleep in the car."
"Hmph."
Steve, however. hand told his grandmother about his new partner and the woman wanted to meet him.
Tony put a shirt on before actually standing to slip on his jeans. Steve was already dressed and moved to the kitchen to start on breakfast. It wasn't long before the brunet could smell bacon from the bathroom. He finished brushing his teeth and stumbled out into the living room, heading towards the table.
"Now you're up?" Steve asks, moving the bacon from the stove top to another plate.
"Now I'm up," Tony replies. He rest his head on the table's surface anyways.
He was almost asleep when Steve put a plate down in front of him. "I'm leaving in half an hour. You are coming with."
Tony grunted in response and lifted up his head. Sitting on the plate was a bacon/cheese/bagel sandwich. He moaned before biting into the soft bread.
"Good?"
"Mm-hmph." He nodded.
Steve laughed and planted a kiss atop Tony's head. "I'm gonna take a shower, then we can head out."
"M'kay," Tony said around a mouth of food.
Steve was currently in the driver's side of Tony's new BMW M6 Cabriolet while Tony rested his head in shot gun.
"It's your fault for staying up so late. Where were you anyways?"
"Labs..."
"Labs?"
"Mm-hmm. With Bruce. In the science halls."
The driver smiled. "What were you working on?"
"This little robot arm thing." Tony moved his head off the window and looked over at Steve. "It's not working out too well though. I can't get the artificial inelegance to cooperate right. Right now it's got the mind capacity of one Justin Hammer."
Steve laughed as Tony became more animate. It wouldn't be long before they reached Brooklyn.
Tony didn't even realize how close they were till the engine was turned off.
"Oh."
"Maybe we shouldn't have taken one of your cars," Steve said, looking out the window.
"We'll be fine. She'll be fine. Any one touches my baby, I'll get you to sack 'em."
Steve chuckled and opened his door.
"You think I'm kidding, don't you."
They walked up to the apartment building and pushed through the door. Tony grabbed Steve's hand when they reached the elevador.
"Steve!" An older woman opened the door and threw her arms around said blonde. She was surprisingly small for being Steve's relative. Though I guess Steve was pretty small at one point, too. Tony thought.
"Hi, grandma." He bent down to place a kiss on her weathered cheek. They parted and the woman turned to Tony.
"And you're Anthony!"
"Well, Tony. But, yeah. Same-umph." He was cut of when a pair of small, thin arms embraced him. She was pretty strong for an old lady.
"Come in, come in! I've got breakfast on the table, and your Aunty has been asking for you, Steve. I didn't tell her you'd be back just yet, though. Give us and your boyfriend some time to catch up and get to know each other."
"We've already eaten, grandma. But I can talk to Samantha later."
"No, no. I haven't seen you for a while, and still haven't met your young man," she said, looking over at Tony. "So anyways, breakfast is in the kitchen."
"We already-"
Tony cut Steve off. "Sh. I smell more bacon."
"So what are you studying, Anthony?"
"I'm majoring in engineering."
"And you enjoy school?"
"Um, yeah. School's great. Everything's been going good."
"And I hope Steve hasn't been in too much trouble," she said, stirring her tea.
Tony laughed, "No, he's been keeping me out of it." He squeezed the blonde's knee under the table.
"And Steve, he use to play this superhero game-"
"Grandma, please don't!"
"No, wait, I want to hear this."
"-and he would run around my old garden with a shield and-oh!-do you remember that hat I made for you?"
"Yes..."
Ms. Rogers giggled. "It had little wings on the side."
Tony playfully bumped shoulders with Steve.
"Yeah, I was in the hospital for a couple of days, right?"
Steve nodded. "Don't do that again."
"I'm okay now, aren't I?"
Steve glared at him.
"I won't do it again. Promise."
"Good." They shared a brief kiss before turning back to Steve's grandmother.
"I think we have to get going, Tony."
He looked down at his watch. "Oh, yeah. It's already 7."
"Time fly's, huh." Ms. Rogers stood up and took their glasses from the coffee table into the kitchen.
"It was really great seeing you, Grandma. Tell Aunty to give me a call whenever."
She kissed Steve on the cheek before responding. "Drive safe, okay? And study hard, too." She turned towards Tony. "It was lovely meeting you, Anthony."
"Like wise, Ms. Rogers." He held out his hand, but she enveloped him in another hug.
"Take care of my grandson, will you?"
"With all my heart."
She herded the boys towards her door. "Goodnight!"
After their final goodbyes, they headed back towards the elevators. Tony grabbed Steve's hand again. "That was a lot of fun, actually."
"Glad you enjoyed yourself."
"We should visit more often."
"Okay."
"And have lunch here more. She's a really good cook."
"Can't argue with you there."
"...She's really nice."
Steve laughed and turned to Tony while they waited for the lift. "I'm really glad she likes you."
Tony snaked his arms around Steve's waist. "Me, too."
They kissed before the door binged open.
