"I don't like it when you get kidnapped."

Steve held the back of Tony's neck possessively, his brow creased in worry, the way it had been for the last 48 hours. The team had given the two of them space when Tony had gotten back, though he knew they were just as worried as he was.

"It's part of the job description." Tony smirked, brown eyes glinting playfully. Steve didn't feel playful, and Tony saw this. "C'mon, Steve. This stuff happens all the time. They take me, demand blueprints and plans or money, and then you guys come and save me. It's no big deal."

Steve took a deep, calming breath. His boyfriend had been through a lot, no use yelling at him. "Tony, what if, in the future, there's some psycho who's willing to go the extra mile to get what he wants...?" He tapped the glass of the arc reactor gently with his fingers, dipping his head to rest his forehead against the shorter man's. "Do you blame me for worrying?"

"I'm fine. I will always be fine. I know you'll always come to save me, Steve." Tony tilted his head up to close the gap between them, a soft brushing of lips that was hardly a kiss, but more than enough for both men.

"Let's go to bed. I want to hold you tonight. The others can see you tomorrow." Steve picked Tony up bridal style, the shorter far too used to this to be shocked by it, laughing happily as he wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's neck.

"You hold me every night," he said between chuckles, nuzzling Steve's neck affectionately.

"Yeah, well, I'll hold you extra tight tonight."

"Don't break me," he warned, and Steve could feel Tony's Cheshire grin against his neck.

"Wouldn't dream of it."
