I really like this chapter and yet I don't like this chapter. *sigh* I don't think I like the kiss between Steve and Tony but I love the interactions with and about Clint. Anyway, thank you to the few readers that reviewed. It means more to me than you know. Thank you Jojof for the kind words. It made writing today easier.
Day 5 Kissing
Soft lips slid across Steve's as his hands settled on slim hips. It had been a while since he'd kissed a girl, it was nothing like kissing Tony. Tony was rough and firm, Natasha was soft and smooth.
"What the?" Tony's voice cut in as Natasha and Steve broke apart. "I'm going to kill him. That fucking bird. I'm going to burn his nest to the ground."
Steve watched Tony turn on his heels and stalk down the hall. Steve glanced at Nat, who just shrugged and walked the other way. Steve moved to catch up with Tony, who was still muttering to himself.
Steve and Tony had only been together a little over a month, their relationship was moving slow. Probably slower than Tony would like. Given Steve's past relationships, Tony had been willing to take it slow. Steve could only imagine how Tony felt walking into his living room to see his boyfriend kissing Natasha.
Boyfriend, Steve was still getting used to that.
"Tony, wait up." Steve said running down the hall.
"No, Steve. I'm going to kill him. That Katniss wanna be is going to get his quiver snapped. Bruce isn't the only one who can Hulk out."
Steve grabbed Tony by the arm and pulled him around to look at him. "He doesn't mean anything by it Tony. It was just a joke."
"You have lipstick on you lips Steve, explain to me how Nat kissing you was a joke."
Steve wiped his lips, a bright red color stained his palm. "Its not that big of a deal."
Tony stared at him, a slight pink tinging his cheeks. "Not that big a deal! How can you say that. Already this week I've seen you kiss Nat, Bruce and Thor."
"And I've seen you kiss Pepper, Clint and Hill."
"We are kissing all the wrong people Steve." Tony said shivering, probably remembering the kiss with Maria. Tony had been in a blind rage for a day after that one. "All because that stupid joker decided to put mistletoe all over the Tower."
"We just need to be better at avoiding the spots he's hung it, that's all." Steve tried to reason.
Tony shook his head, "No, this ends now. I am not going to be tiptoeing around my house for the next two weeks waiting for Christmas to pass. I want all of the poisonous kiss me plants out now, or so help me God, we will see if that hawk can fly."
Steve let Tony go. He understood the anger. He had been pretty pissed when he had seen Tony and Pepper kiss. But Steve had had more of a reason to be angry than Tony. Pepper and Tony had been an item for a while, Steve had never consider Natasha, Bruce or Thor as anything but friends. The kisses he'd he shared with them had been strange and awkward, to say the least.
They hadn't been the only ones to suffer though. Clint had had to kiss Tony, and while Steve was aware of Clint's past relationship with Johnny Storm, Clint had looked to be in pain after the kiss with Tony. Nat had laughed and told him it was his fault. Steve had agreed.
Thor and Bruce had gotten stuck under the mistletoe themselves a few times. But Tony and Steve hadn't found themselves under the poisonous kiss me plants as Tony called them. That was the only part that annoyed Steve.
"Can you go around and take down all of the death berries that you see?"
Steve nodded and Tony kissed him on the cheek. Steve went one way and Tony the other. Each looking for something different.
"Clint!" Tony yelled stepping onto Clint's personal floor. "Where are you, bird brain?"
"What's your damage, Tin Man?" Clint said, landing in front of Tony from one of the rafters.
"Your mistletoe prank has gotten out of hand."
"Who did you have to kiss this time? Please god tell me it was Fury, and that pictures were taken."
"This isn't about me."
"Who did Steve have to kiss? Was it Coulson? It was Coulson huh? We all know how much of a fanboy he is."
"Natasha."
Clint's eyes went wide before he burst into laughter. "Is he still alive?"
Tony glared. He was not in a joking mood. He didn't enjoy seeing his boyfriend kissing other people. He wasn't someone that shared his things, and while Steve wasn't a thing, he was his. Tony had waited years and years for his dream to come true. A dream he had never actually thought was possible, but it was real. Steve was his and he was Steve's and he did not want to share or be shared.
"Its not a big deal, man. Not like Steve or Nat enjoyed it." Clint moved to pass Tony.
Tony stuck his arm out to stop him. "Its a big deal to me."
"Fine, take them down. It will save me from having to kiss you again." Clint made a face of disgust. "Though, seeing Thor and Bruce finally kiss had been worth it."
Tony could agree with that. Those two had been tiptoeing around each other for awhile. Tony was pretty sure there wasn't actually anything to Thor and Bruce...Yet. It was still too early after Jane's passing for a relationship. Tony was sure there would be a relationship though.
"I've already got Steve taking it all down. If you even think about putting more around the tower, so help me God, I will clip your wings." Clint nodded as Tony left.
Steve had searched the tower top to bottom and found around twenty or so mistletoe hanging in random and obscure places. He had had some issues getting to a few of them, they had been placed so high in the ceiling Steve had wondered how anyone had gotten up there to hang the damn things.
"Holy shit! That's a lot of mistletoe." Tony said as he walked back into the living room. Steve was standing in the same spot he had been when Tony had walked in on the kiss with Natasha.
"Did you get it all?" Tony asked, walking up to Steve.
"All but one." Steve said, a small smile on his face. He reached for Tony and pulled him flush against his body. He loved the feel of Tony against him. Hard lines and smooth flesh.
Tony looked up and caught sight of the little bunch of berries hanging overhead and smiled. Steve leaned down and Tony rolled onto the balls of his feet, crushing their lips together. Steve's tongue slid over Tony's lip and he was granted access to the warm cavern he had found he loved exploring. Tony tasted like coffee, a flavor that Steve had come to expect. Tony's arms snaked around Steve's neck pulling him lower as Tony walked backward toward the couch.
Knees hit the edge of the couch causing Tony to sit, pulling Steve down on top of him. The kiss wasn't broken and Steve settled himself over Tony's lap.
"Oh for the love of god! Get a room." Clint's voice broke through the fog in Steve's brain. He pulled away from Tony and looked over at the short blond. Tony flipped him off.
"Oh, I see you've found some of the mistletoe."
"Some?" Tony asked looking at the pile on the table. "You mean there is more?"
Clint laughed and walked away.
"I thought you said you got it all." Tony said with a look at Steve.
"This isn't going to be easy is it?" Steve said looking at Tony.
Tony was glaring at the mistletoe as if lasers would magically shoot out of his eyes and disintegrate the offending things. "No, I don't think it is."
I hope you enjoyed that super fluffy chapter. Just wait till the next chapter. its fluffy too.
