"This is going to be good." Tony giggles as he pours the dye into the shampoo bottle. Before anyone wakes up he rushes out of the bathroom and goes to hide in his lair where he pulls up his camera feed to watch the show play out.
At 5:30 on the dot Steve sits up in his bed, tiredly running a hand through his hair making tufts stand at odd angles. With a sigh he swings his feet over the side of the mattress and stretches, a series of pops and cracks can be heard emanating from his spine. Tony wrinkles his nose at the sounds he hears from his monitor. "Come on, come on. Hurry up old man." He mutters under his breath, too excited to stand waiting any longer.
As if he had heard him, Steve stands up and slowly shuffles to the bathroom attached to his room. A few minutes later he comes back out with his hair all neat and workout clothes on.
"You've got to be kidding me." Tony deadpans as he bangs his head against his desk. "…Ow." He sits back up and tenderly rubs his, now, red forehead to look again at the screen to watch the Captain walk down the hallway to the gym. "Fine… I'll wait." He leans back in his chair, daintily crossing his legs, preparing himself for the wait. And boy does he wait and wait and wait.
After three hours, Steve finally leaves the gym, causing Tony to abruptly sit up in his chair that he had been sprawled in lazily spinning around in circles while eating a bag of chips. Wide eyes filled with anticipation watch the screen as his prey re-enters the bathroom. A giggle slips out as he watches, waiting with bated breath, hands unconsciously rubbing together.
A while later a yell echoes around the Tower as Steve shoots out of the bathroom, towel haphazardly wrapped around his waist and hair a bright, fire engine red. Everyone that was in the Tower trickle out from wherever they had been, confused about what the yell was about. Meanwhile, Tony is dying. He has fallen off of his chair from laughing so hard and is gasping for breath on the floor.
Upon seeing everyone, sans Tony of course, Steve blushes a red that almost matches his new hair color. He hurries to fix his towel trying to avoid looking at anyone. Everyone else present was having a hard time keeping a straight face. Clint was especially having a hard time. He was hanging onto Nat's shoulders, trying to keep from falling to the floor with his giggling. Nat on the other hand was doing her best to ignore the monkey clinging onto her while looking at Steve with a raised eyebrow/smirk combo. Poor Bruce was attempting to avoid eye contact with everyone, not really comfortable with the situation but unable to stop a small chuckle slip out.
"Who." Steve demanded, finally looking up at the others with a light blush dusting his cheeks. The three of them shake their heads and a dark look covers his face in realization as he mutters, "Tony." He quickly turns around, marching toward Tony's hideout, where the man was literally rolling on the floor laughing.
Steve stops in the doorway of the lab. "Stark." A deadly calm aura settles upon the room, but of course Stark doesn't notice nor really care. Instead Tony removes his arm from over his eyes and grins crookedly up at Captain, trying to stifle his giggles.
"'Sup Little Red Riding Hood. How's it hanging?"
"Why."
"Well it's simple really, you don't have nearly enough red on your suit and I thought I would help you with your fashion disaster. You should be thanking me Capsicle, you look fabulous now. Plus, I'm awesome."
Steve growls and walks away, grabbing at his hair. "I'll get you Stark."
"Pfft, yeah. And are you going to get my little dog too?" He says before another burst of laughter slips out.
Later that day Steve was glaring at his reflection in his bathroom mirror. He reaches up and tugs on a lock of his hair with a frown marring his face. "…He has a point…"
Anyone else as excited for Age of Ultron? Suggestions for pranks or crack are always welcome :)
