Heat and Heart

Whine

Tony was whining, still feeling sick but not nearly as bad. He was in no danger now, bolstered by the injections he had been given and now simply sweating off the effects of his illness. "Steeeveee." He looked pitifully at the other male.

"Yes, Tony?" Steve rubbed Tony's cheek, leaning against their headboard and watching Tony who was laying next to him. He had a fond look on his face.

"Too hot." Tony grumbled, rolling away from Steve and onto a cooler part of the sheets. He moaned happily, enjoying the chill against his skin.

"She said you'll be okay by tomorrow. Why don't you go to bed? Then it'll be tomorrow and you'll be fine." The Alpha suggested gently, never losing his patience with the Omega. It made no sense to yell at the ill Omega.

"Sing to me. Please." It was half a demand, half a plea and Steve nodded, JARVIS lowering the lights. Steve shifted, keeping an eye on Tony who moved closer in anticipation of the song. The blond began singing a song his Ma had always sang to him, smiling as Tony's eyes fluttered shut during it and the Omega's breathing steadied.

"Goodnight, Sweetheart." He leaned down, kissing Tony's temple and got up to go get a glass of water. The Alpha slipped out of the room, leaving the door cracked and went into the kitchen. He grabbed a plastic cup and filled it, drinking half of it and refilling it. His keen hearing heard footsteps and he planted himself in the middle of the hallway leading to the bedroom as Bruce came out of the living room.

"Kinda fell asleep on the couch. Sorry, Steve." Bruce apologized, heading to the elevator and going back to his own floor. He hadn't meant to fall asleep.

Steve sighed, resting the cup against his forehead and hoping he wasn't being too paranoid. He just had this unsettled feeling and the penthouse felt wrong somehow, like something was off about it. He paced around, scenting the air and looking in every possible hiding space and even checking the vents. He found nothing but retreated back by Tony, laying down and wrapping around the Omega protectively.

~Two months later~

Steve woke up as Tony swallowed his cock whole, groaning at the wake up call. His fingers tangled into dark curls, brown eyes looking up at him as Tony swallowed around him. "Fuck, Tony."

Tony had a pleased expression, bobbing his head and taking Steve all the way in until the Alpha's knot got too large to take in. He focused on the tip, watching as Steve's eyes rolled back slightly and his hips bucked. Tony's jaw was a bit sore as he pulled off, focusing on Steve's sac now and letting his jaw rest before taking Steve back in right as the Alpha came. He moaned happily, swallowing down the white fluids and panting as he was pulled up to Steve's face.

"Such a good boy, Tony. Alpha is pleased with you." Steve licked a trail of white that had escaped Tony's mouth, kissing his Omega and feeling how Tony smiled at the praise. The alpha pulled away, watching as Tony nuzzled into him. "Are you hungry, Tony?"

"A bit." Tony nodded, yelping as Steve carried him to the bathroom first. He did his business and waited while Steve did his, washing his hands thoroughly and brushing his teeth.

"What are you hungry for?" Steve smiled once more, washing his hands. He was pleased by Tony being willing to admit he was hungry.

"Eggs and sausage. Lots of em." Tony said immediately, bouncing on his feet as his stomach rumbled. He felt so good and his body didn't feel so out of whack anymore.

"I can make that for you. C'mon, Tony." Steve scooped him up, carrying him to the kitchen and setting him down gently. "How do you want your eggs?"

"Scrambled with cheese in them?" Tony smiled at Steve, getting himself a glass of orange juice.

"Coming right up, Sweetheart." Steve looked at Tony fondly, making the eggs and sausage with plenty of cheese. His Omega was acting oddly lately but as long as Tony was happy, he was happy too. Tony watched Steve closely, never taking his eyes off the Alpha and making him mildly uncomfortable. "Tony, baby? What's the matter?"

"Nothing, Steve." Tony smiled innocently, already picturing what else he could do to his Alpha. He sipped his juice, watching Steve's firm muscles move as the other man cooked. He practically purred as the full plate was set in front of him, pleased that his Alpha could provide for him and cook too.

Steve preened internally at Tony's happiness with the food he provided. "There's more if you're still hungry, love."

"You eat." Tony frowned, not touching his food until Steve got himself a plate of food and started eating. "Need a strong alpha. Need you at full strength."

"I can protect you, Love. Don't worry." Steve promised, eating his breakfast and keeping his eyes on Tony.
