"Thank you for that wonderful memory, Tony." Steve said.
"I aim to please." Tony replied with a smirk.
"Then let's recall one of your finer moments." Natasha said with a mischievious smirk that instantly made Tony's stomach turn. "Remember when you bet that you could willingly stay away from alcohol?"

Tony lightly smiled as he dropped a few ice cubes into his glass of scotch. He took a sip and was about to head into the living room when he spotted Steve and Bruce sitting at the kitchen table.
The inventor walked over and took a seat next to the doctor. The two men right away noticed Tony's drink.
"What?" Tony asked.
"You're having a drink this early?" Steve asked.
"That's not good for you, Tony." Bruce added.
"Oh come on. You guys are over reacting." Tony said.
"Tony, I think you should admit that you drink a little too much." Steve said.
"At least I can feel it." Tony half muttered.
"Honestly Tony, I feel that I might feel the affects for you." Steve said. "Almost every time I see you, you have a drink."
"Just what are you saying super soldier?"
"I don't think you could go a day without a drink."
Tony lightly glared at the soldier before turning to Bruce.
"Please tell me you don't agree with him." he said.
Bruce averted his eyes and remained silent.
"You think I can't go a day without my drinks?" Tony challenged the soldier. "I'll prove to you that I can. Let's make a bet."
"Ok. I'll accept that." Steve said. "What are the terms?"
"If I go a full twenty four hours without a single drink, than you have to...to...give up your grandfather clothes and let Pepper pick out an entire new wardrobe for you."
Steve bit his bottom lip but didn't argue against it.
"And if I win?" he asked.
"Than..." Tony lightly shuddered before continueing. "I will dress up in that same forties style and I will stop teasing you about your age and other obvious traits."
"Ok. I accept." Steve said as he and Tony shook hands.

Bruce saw Tony adjust the sleeve of the plaid shirt he was wearing and lightly smirked.
Tony had nearly made it but Natasha had happened to be at the bar at the same time Tony was present and drank a few shots of her favorite vodka. It made Tony sweat as he watched the spy continue to down a few shots claiming she needed to relax after a hard day at SHIELD headquarters.
With only a little less than three hours left, Tony broke down and joined Natasha in having vodka shots.
At that point, Jarvis had let Steve and Bruce know that Tony had caved in.
Tony had tried to deny it at first but gave it up when Jarvis played a video of him and Natasha downing a whole bottle by themselves.
Steve was just glad that he didn't have to hear Tony making fun of his style choices or his true age anymore.
But knowing Tony it wouldn't last for long.
