Steve looked up at him slowly. Tony had been very protective of him since their bonding. Steve licked his lips, maybe a little nervously. “What do you mean, Tony?” he asked softly.

Tony nuzzled at his mate. “I mean I’m going to take care of you. You and any pups we have.” he replied, pulling out a small box. “I want to make sure you have everything you could ever want, Steve. And I know we’re already bonded, but…” He looked nervous as he moved to kneel on one knee, holding up the box and opening it to reveal an intricately designed ring. “Will you marry me?”

Steve gasped softly at the beautiful ring inside the box and then he looked back at Tony. “You… you want to marry me,” he whispered… “Tony…. yes. Yes of course I’ll marry you. I just… never knew you wanted that from me…”

Tony watched his omega as Steve spoke, nodding in answer to the question. “Why would I not?” he asked, taking the ring out and placing it on Steve’s hand. “I love you, and I want the whole world to know that. I want you happy and taken care of in every way. Marriage is just a much more public ceremony to bonding.” 

“stay with me tonight” [from whoever]

Steve looked up at Bruce in surprise. Things always went the same way: dinner, a walk through a museum or a park, and then back to the Tower where Bruce would stay on his floor and Steve would, reluctantly, return to his own. Bruce seemed to want to change that tonight. Steve stepped closer, meeting the older man’s gaze with his own.

“Are you sure?” he asked softly, resting one hand on Bruce’s chest as he spoke.

Bruce licked his lips and nodded a little. “I’m sure.” he replied, reaching up to lay his hand on Steve’s cheek. “If you want to?” he amended. “If you don’t want to, I totally understand.”
