Because I love Steve Rogers.
Let the Super Shameless Fluff commence!
Pure, unadulterated, FLUFF.
"Cap! You're back! How did it go?"
"Could've been worse, I suppose." Steve said as he shook Tony's offered hand.
"Next time Fury needs a 'little' help with a few stray aliens, it's on you."
"Didn't want you to miss out on the fun." Tony said, with a mildly irritating smirk. "Besides, I think every chance you get to where this get up, you should take it." He gestured generally at Steve's entire person.
The Captain rolled his eyes, but still smiled. He was long over Stark's teasing.
The elevator opened to reveal Pepper carrying a bouncing two year old on her hip. The child wore pink leggings, white velcro sneakers, and a black polka dot cotton dress. Her reddish hair was in two little pig tails. Immediately upon seeing Steve standing with her father, she shouted happily.
"Unko Peef!"
"Hi sweetie." Steve said, lighting up as they approached.
"Welcome back, Steve." Pepper greeted and she handed over her daughter who eagerly switched adults. Steve gave her a kiss on the cheek and she returned a warm hug around his neck.
"Hi Pepper." Steve said, leaning over to give her a one armed hug.
The little girl looked down at Steve's chest where the big white star was located, then she giggled. She looked over to her mom and dad and laughed again "Unko Peef's boo!"
Tony couldn't help but laugh. "Yes he is." This was the first time little Ginna had ever seen Captain America in uniform.
"I'm blue?" Rogers clarified, unable and unwilling to hide the complete amusement on his face.
"Yeah!" she nodded vigorously. " You're Boo! ...I yike yo paw."
"My star?"
"Uh huh!"
"Thank you. I like your pig tails." Steve said, giving a gentle tug on one of them. "Can I have pig tails in my hair too?"
Ginna laughed and pulled away. "Noooo! Unko Peef you can't!"
"I can't? Why not?" He asked, sounding very sincere.
The little girl gave him an incredulous look. Steve stared right back at her. When a smile finally broke out on his face, Ginna laughed some more. "You're funny!"
Again, don't worry. Bruce and Michael will be back. I'm bouncing all over my timeline. It's just one shot fun over here. :D
