Tony didn't understand it.
He would come up from his workshop every morning in hopes of smelling coffee, but somehow, he was always disappointed. Natasha and Clint were never up yet, so they hadn't started the coffee machine. Thor was awake and hyper, as always, Bruce was nursing a cup of tea, and Steve... Steve was drinking hot cocoa like it was a normal thing.
"It's seven in the morning, how can you not need caffeine?" Tony muttered as he pressed the button for the coffee machine to start.
"I don't have a dependence on caffeine like you do, Tony," Steve laughed heartily. "I only need a small amount of sugar to wake up me, the warmth helps as well, though. Caffeine is bad for you, anyways."
"I beg to differ," Tony was tired from his all-nighter. More tired than he usually was after being awake for three days. That might have been because he wasn't currently nursing a cup of coffee and turning on the morning news, but who knows.
"Come now, Tony, how could anyone need something to wake up? The morn is a wonderful time for activity!" Thor was louder than he needed to be, but what was new? "We should not waste the day away waiting for your drink!"
"I shall waste my day however I want to, thank you very much," Tony huffed as the coffee pot finally, finally, dinged. He poured his coffee, added his copious amounts of sugar, and took his first heavenly sip. He moaned quietly as he smiled, the drink slowly working its magic.
Steve chuckled as he downed the last few sips of his cocoa before placing the cup in the sink. He leaned towards Tony, placing a gentle peck on his cheek. "I refuse to kiss you until you brush your teeth and you don't taste like coffee," he murmured in his lovers ear.
"Mhm," Tony muttered, not truly listening.
Steve just chuckled once more before turning, beginning to head down to the gym. He needed to work out before Clint and Natasha got up, the two of them would want to head to SHIELD more than likely, and he knew all day would be spent reading and be debriefed.
Well, he was heading down to the gym before a tug on his shirt stopped him. He turned to see a smiling, eyes closed Tony pointing to his lips in dazed want. Steve could only smile and give the man what he wanted. He leaned in and placed his lips against Tony's.
"Thank you," Tony whispered against his lips, smiling. "Just what I needed to wake up."
Steve laughed and drifted away from Tony before heading down to the gym. As he walked, he licked his lips and realized, he really didn't hate the taste of coffee. At least, not when it was mixed with the delicious hints of Tony.
A/N: So I'm exactly like Steve... I only drink hot cocoa in the morning. Coffee is just too damned bitter for me! Blegh!
I wrote this a while ago and just remembered it. So yeah. It's here now. Something to tide my followers with until I'm able to get my other stories new chapters!
