Tony dodges the tap as it strikes at him, hissing ominously. He just gives it a tired stare, shoulders slumped, fingers clenched around the coffee pot in his hands. "Please," he whispers. "It's been two days. Two. I need my coffee and water is needed for that"
The tap ignores him, arching back and hissing louder.
Looks like he wasn't going to have any luck today either. Tony sets the coffee pot back down on the counter with a forlorn sigh.
He turns at the sound of Steve entering the kitchen. "Sink giving you a hard time still?" the man asks.
"I hate magic" Tony groans, glaring at the tap that was currently hissing at him like an angry snake. "I just want a coffee" he pleads.
Steve's lips set into a firm line and he walks over to the sink. Lightning-fast the man's hand shoots out, grabbing the tap by the end. "There you go"
Tony quickly gets the coffee pot and begins filling it with water. When it is full he puts it on the stand and sets it to boil. He flashes Steve a grin and wraps his arms around the man's broad shoulders. "My hero," he says, fluttering his eyelashes. He is happy with the laugh it draws from Steve.
He leans in pressing his lips to Steve's is a soft kiss. Steve's hands snake around his back, pulling him close. He can taste the smile on his lips and it was infectious.
Tony pulls back slightly and brings his hands up to caress his lover's face. It was then he notices the large bruise on the side of Steve's face. And the one on his neck. And the ones littering Steve's arms.
"What happened to you?" he asks, concerned.
"I tried to take a shower"
