Movie Night
"Are you crying?" Clint asked, raising his eyebrow.
Steve tried to shake his head, but the evidence on his face was irrefutable.
"I knew this one would make you cry," Tony murmured smugly, leaning into his side heavier, reaching up to wipe away the tears on his face. "Titanic makes everyone cry."
"It happened just a few years before I was born," Steve said, looking down at Tony. "People still spoke about it when I was growing up. It was such a tragedy."
Tony nodded. "It was, what happened was awful. Are you okay?"
Steve nodded. "It was a good movie, it's just… it happened. I'm sure scenes like those old people lying in bed together, and the woman tucking her children in, actually happened."
Wondering if he'd made a mistake showing Steve the movie, Tony got up off the sofa and went to the kitchen to make more popcorn.
And to also have a bit of a meltdown.
Steve clearly knew him far too well, because not even a full minute later, he was behind Tony, arms wrapping around his waist.
"I'm really fine, sweetheart, I promise."
Tony nodded. Turning, he let himself melt into Steve. "I just… it was just a laugh when me and Clint said one of us would make you cry at a movie. I didn't actually want to do it, I don't think. I don't like to see you so sad."
"You're adorable," Steve said, pressing a kiss to Tony's temple. "Come on."
He picked up the bowl of popcorn and led Tony back into the living room.
"What are we watching next?" Tony asked, looking at the others as they retook their seats.
Natasha smirked at him. "The Green Mile."
When Tony arched his eyebrows, she glanced at Clint and if possible her smirk intensified.
Intrigued, Tony sat back and let her put the movie on.
…
Steve cried again.
But so did everyone else. Including Clint.
Tony really fucking loved Natasha.
