"Why are you wearing John Lennon glasses?" Bruce asked Clint across the kitchen counter.

Clint smiled, wide and toothy, before sliding his glasses down to inspect them through crossed eyes. "John Lennon glasses with purple lenses, that the important part here," he clarified, as Steve and Tony walked into the room hand in hand. Tony leaned his weight against Steve's side, flinching every couple of steps.

"The prodigal son hath returned!" Clint announced, kicking to his feet and walking towards Tony with outstretched arms.

Steve stepped in front of his path. "He's still healing."

"Well, duh. I'm seeing purple, not blind."

"Classy, Clint," Natasha called from the sofa then leaned over the back of it to scrutinize the couple with keen eyes. "Something's different."

"You all are strange," Tony said, rolling his eyes. "Purple glasses and cat-eyes." But Steve blushed on impulse, deep red blossoming his cheeks, and Tony took one look at him and couldn't suppress his laughter, even when Steve pinned him with a glare.

"What?" Clint asked, frowning. "Did something happen?"

Steve opened his mouth to say something but Tony stepped in front of him, hands stretched out in flourish of movement. "Strange folk of Avengers Tower-"

"And you calling us weird?" Clint interrupted.

"We're getting married!" Tony said at the same time.

"Wait-"

"What-

"Huh?"

"Friends!"

Tony pulled at Steve's hand and led him to the penthouse, leaving four confused faces gaping in their wake.
