Steve nodded slowly and curled in against Tony, resting his head on his husband’s shoulder and closing his eyes. “Thank you,” he whispered, obviously exhausted and knowing he needed to sleep. It wasn’t long before he managed to to fall asleep, keeping close to Tony throughout the night.

Tony found himself relaxing as he breathed in his husband’s scent and soaked in Steve’s warmth. Morning came in what felt like a moment, but he’d slept for several hours. He carefully untangled from Steve’s grip, leaning to kiss him before going to make breakfast and coffee. He made a large amount, knowing Steve needed the food and would likely be starving once he woke.

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.”

Once off the couch, he let Tony help him back to their bedroom and he sat on the edge of the bed. He settled into bed, curling beneath the sheet and blanket, watching Tony get changed and wiating for his husband to come to bed once he’d done so.

Tony walked over and curled in bed next to Steve, pressing himself close and tucking his head under his husband’s. “Get some sleep, baby. I’ll get up and make breakfast for us in the morning, but you need rest.” he urged, reaching up to pet his fingers through blonde hair. “I promise I’ll make all your favorites if you sleep.”

“I’m so tired, Tony,” he whispered softly. “Sleep first then food. Help me to bed?” he looked at his husband and reached out, brushing hair from Tony’s face. “You need a hair cut,” he teased tiredly, leaning in to kiss him softly. “I’m just glad to finally be home again.”

Tony knew Steve needed to eat, but if he couldn’t stay awake, food would have to wait for sure. He took a slow breath and nodded, wishing he’d pushed the issue and made Steve take him along. He returned the kiss willingly, just glad Steve was home where he belonged. He pulled back to help Steve up, laughing a little. “Yeah, well, I had more important thing on my mind than cutting my hair, y’know.” he countered, guiding them to bed and helping Steve get in before going to their dresser to change into some pajamas.

Steve leaned against TOny but didn’t even try to argue with him. He was exhausted. He was so tired of everything. He finally slid off the stool and put his now emtpy cup in the sink. “Come back to bed with me?” he asked in a small, vulnerable sounding voice. “I don’t want to be alone right now…”

Tony finished his tea and went to walk with Steve. “You’re not alone. I’m right here.” he swore, linking his arm with Steve’s and lacing their fingers together. “Do you think you could try to sleep? Or should I try to do something else?” he asked, eyes looking up at Steve as they went back to their room. 

“I should be able to sleep again,” he said, though he sounded hesitant about it all. He crawled back into their bed and lay down, curling up against Tony once his husband was beside him. He nuzzled the other’s neck and cheek, kissing him there softly before settling down and closing his eyes, trying to slow his breathing as well.

Tony curled up beside Steve, arms encircling him and fingers running through blonde hair. He gave a soft hum as Steve kissed his neck. “Would it help if I sang a little? Or distracted you somehow?” He asked, his voice soft. His husband needed a break, and if he had to take Steve and just vanish for a while, he would. He fully intended on having it out with Fury in the morning, but now his focus was his husband. “How does a vacation sound?”

“Fighting is all I do,” he said quietly, setting his cup down and leaning in to Tony’s touch against his hair, his eyes closing in a resigned way. “They’re not going to let me quit, Tony. They fucking own me. They found me… I’m still able to fight, I’m healthy, I’m the only person who survived with the super soldier serum intact… you really think for one minute that SHIELD will let me retire and simply fade into the background? They’ll never let me go, Tony. And sometimes… sometimes I wish I was in the ice again just to keep from being a soldier now. I fought for so long, so hard… and for what?” He choked up, tears filling his eyes as he dropped his head onto the island, his whole body starting to shake.

Tony was furious at the way his husband broke down. “Like hell they own you, Steve. Just because they found you in the ice doesn’t mean they own your life!” He took a slow breath to try and calm himself. “You can fade into the background and train new Avengers, damn it. If I’m a big enough asset that they’ll let me just do the tech, they can let you step down and train. You can’t keep fighting forever. We deserve to have a family and be happy without them always looming over us.” he said, his tone angry. “I’m not letting them take you back out again. No. You need a fucking break and if I have to punch Fury is his one eyed face I will do it.”

His climax hit him fast and he felt Tony’s knot lock deep inside of him, making him whimper softly as they settled with one another, the new bond sealing between them now. He shivered slightly, closing his eyes. “I love you too,” he whispered sleepily.

Tony knew they’d be knotted together for a bit, so he adjusted so they could lay on their sides. “I won’t let anyone take you from me, baby. I’ll protect you. My perfect omega, my sweet mate.” he brushed his lips against Steve’s. As much as he loved being bonded to Steve, a part of him wished that they could have talked beforehand, but since the drug the turned down alpha had given Steve had triggered an early heat, Tony didn’t know when the next one would come once the current one waned. He ran his hands through Steve’s hair, leaning to lick at the healing wound that would turn into a silver mark once it healed completely. “You’re my everything, Steve. Absolutely everything.”

Steve let Tony help him get the uniform off and the under-suit beneath it, showing the various healing injuries he’d sustained. “I’m not in a whole lot of pain, I”m mostly exhausted and hungry. My calorie intake has only been about a thousand calories for the past four days…”

Tony frowned a little, brushign his fingers over the bruises in a ghost touch before nodding. “I can make us food or I can order something so I can clean you up?” he offered, dark honey eyes looking up at blue. “We’ll get your intake back up, I promise, baby.”
