Steve nodded slowly, forcing himself to take his time with his food. “They’re a little sore still, but nothing that isn’t tolerable. I”ll probably want to sleep again for a little while after I eat.”

Tony nodded, eating as he listened. “I’ll get the heavier blankets so it’s easier to rest. I can run you a hot bath and I can massage you so you can relax more.” he offered. HE knew all the tricks to get his husband recovered faster by now, and he wasn’t afraid to use them. “Come now, finish eating and I’ll start the bath for you.” he washed his plate and walked around to kiss Steve.

Steve sighed softly as Tony’s fingers slid through his hair and he leaned in to kiss him softly. “And I will never regret bonding with you either, Tony,” he answered. “You mean everything to me. I love you so very much.”

Tony smiled at the words too much trouble. He’d had to convince Bucky for over three months that he had no intention of leaving Steve. Most of that was just looking out for his mate, keeping him warm and always letting Steve curl into him no matter where he was. Tony was happy when the big brunette had said he was fine with the proposal, and now Tony was one step closer to having everything he had ever wanted [and honestly hadn’t known he did]. He kissed back and smiled as he moved to pull Steve against him. “I love you, too. More than anything.” 

Special Christmas || lostshieldandhammer

Steve nodded slowly. “I thought the orphanage said they had a family lined up for her. They sounded perfect. She was so excited the last time we were there to see her…” He’d wanted to take her home the first time they’d met her, but they’d been told another family ahd already expressed an interest in her. If the family had backed out, she’d have been devastated.

“The father couldn’t pass the background check. The worker on Melanie’s case called me. She knew we were interested and wanted us to come see her. She says she can put a rush in the paperwork and Mel can be oirs by Christmas.” Tony answered, walking over to run a hand through Steve’s hair. “What do you say? Get a present and go make her smile?”

Steve laughed softly. “I’m guessing it did. He wasn’t all that thrilled at the way our bonding happened. He didn’t blame you or anything; he was just worried that at some point we’d both have regrets or something. I’m glad he didn’t give you too much trouble over proposing to me.”

Tony nodded. “I’m well aware. But he knows as an alpha, we just know when we find our mate.” He moved to kiss Steve gently. “I know I didn’t know how to go about courting, but I’m glad I learned how. I’m glad I didn’t totally scare you away after that one incident.” He reached up to run his hand through blonde hair. “But I swear I will never regret being bonded with you.”

“You… you made a special request?” He was intrigued. “Should I go change clothes then so we can head over there?”

Tony gave a small smile, shaking his head. “You don’t have to get fancy. But remember Melanie? The little brunette that reminded you of Barnes? The little nine year old?” he asked. Looking for Bucky had taken a toll and even through that Steve insisted on helping the kids. Tony had noticed Steve bonding with the little girl and he enjoyed the way Steve seemed so relaxed around the kids.

“Yes, please,” he answered in a slightly pained voice. “My body’s already objecting to the fact I haven’t eaten much lately so… food would be good right now.” He sat up a bit ad kissed Tony’s cheek before the other brought him a plate of food. He tried not to eat too fast, because that would only make things worse in the long run.

Tony made himself a plate and moved to sit across from Steve so he could watch his husband. “Just take your time. The next few days might be rough while you get used to having your normal intake again. Everything will be okay” he assured. “How are your wounds? Do they still hurt?”

Steve’s mind wasn’t as hazy now as it had been before and he curled into Tony’s warmth, burying his face into his mate’s neck, sighing softly as he did so. “I’m sorry about how everything happened,” he said quietly. “I know we were headed in this direction together at some point, but I know this is sooner than you wanted it to happen. I don’t regret anything… only that we didn’t have the chance to plan everything out like we wanted.”

Tony petted through the omega’s hair, shaking his head. “Hey, it’s okay. You didn’t do anything wrong.” he promised. “We aren’t as prepared as I’d like, but I would never change my mind about being yours.” he said softly, leaning to kiss Steve again. “All that matters is that we got you home before anything happened. I can take care of you and we’ll be fine.” he smiled at Steve, moving carefully so that he could drape an arm over Steve’s side. “I’m right here, Steve. Always yours, and now everyone will know.”

Steve woke to the smell of food and coffee, his stomach growling and cramping painfully due to the fact he hadn’t kept up his calories while on his mission. He crawled out of bed and slowly headed down to the kitchen, dropping onto a stool at the counter and watching Tony quietly.

Tony hummed softly, piling up the pancakes and eggs. He heard the stool move and looked over his shoulder, smiling and flipping the pancake he was working on to walk over and kiss Steve. “Good morning, baby.” he said almost silently, leaning into his husband for a long moment. “I made all your favorites and plenty of them.” he promised. “Do you want to go ahead and start eating?”
