Steve sat on the couch, staring at the blank TV screen. He couldn't sleep, and he was slightly afraid to try.
"Captain Rogers? Tony would like you to start getting ready." Friday's voice made Steve flinch, but he silently got up and headed towards the bedroom.
"Boss says he left some clothes for you to wear on the bed." Steve gently cleared his throat then quietly thanked Friday.
On the bed were a pair of black jeans, a light denim button up shirt, and a pair of brown suspenders. Steve laughed and smiled to himself. He used to wear suspenders all the time.
When he was done changing, Steve walked to the bathroom and searched through all of the drawers and cabinets looking for something to cover the bruise on his cheek and the forming bruises on his neck. Unlucky for him, he found nothing.
Steve got on the elevator and went to see Tony in his workshop. Not wanting to interrupt, he simply waited until Tony wasn't banging on something and had put the tool down.
"Tony?"
He didn't hear him.
"Tony?" Steve tried calling louder, but got no answer. "Tony!" Steve all but yelled now and then started shaking when Tony whipped his head around.
"Steve?" Tony walked towards Steve and gave him a big hug. "And might I say that you look amazing. Absolutely perfect." Tony kissed Steve's cheek and stepped back. "What's wrong baby?"
"Tony I was wondering if I could go to the store and get some stuff to cover up my face." Steve rubbed his hand over the bruises on his face.
"Actually I think we have some still. Friday, do we have anymore of Steve's cover up stuff?"
"Yeah boss in his bathroom he's got some left."
"See told you we had some." Tony smiled at Steve. "How about we play a game before everyone comes? Like a card game?"
"Sure." Steve smiled.
"You go do whatever you have too and I'll be up in a minute okay?"
"Yeah." Tony gave Steve a kiss on the cheek and walked back to finish his project while Steve got into the elevator.
"My living quarters." Steve stood in the back of the elevator with his hands held together in front of him.
When Steve was done, you couldn't even notice the bruises. He went up to the lounging area and sat down with his new smart phone.
"Uh Friday, how do I turn this thing on?"
"There is a small button on the left hand side of the phone."
Steve laughed at himself. It was weird to think that at one point he was kind of like this phone in the sense that he was a brand new invention.
"Friday, is Tony almost done with his project?" Steve set down the phone slightly aggravated at how random songs started playing.
"He's on his way up now. He should be here in-"
The elevator opened and Tony stepped out.
"Rogers." Tony walked Steve glaring at him.
"Tony?" Steve met Tony's eyes. "Are you at least going to go easy on me?"
"No way." Tony said slapping Uno cards on the coffee table. Both Tony and Steve sat on the floor, both on opposite sides of the table and Tony started to shuffle.
