summary: steve realized that corona got serious and his protective boyfriend mode clicked on
——————
Steve read in the newspaper about what's going on in the world, as he did everyday.
The daily news about the corona virus filled up all the pages.
On one he found the numbers of how many victims and how many deaths the US had. His eyes widened.
Tony stood in the kitchen as he asked: "Babes Nat is gonna drag me to the Mall today are you coming?"
"NO! I mean.. no! We're not going! Absolutely not!"
Tony raised his eyebrows and looked over his boyfriends shoulder about what he was reading.
He sighed. "Why are you like that you can't catch it any-"
"But you can"Steve said and pointed at him.
"You are not going anywhere!"
"You act like dangerous things are not our daily"

Two days later Steve and Tony wanted to have a date night.
Tony walked towards the door of the restaurant and wanted to open it as Steve slapped his hand away, and opened it himself.
Tony rolled his eyes. He got these things on the daily. Tony got lucky that he could get Steve to not make him wear a face mask.
Steve walked in together with Tony and they got their table.
They sat down as the waiter got there and put the menu cards down.
Tony thanked him politely and was about to pick up his menu when Steve shoved his hand away once again and handed Tony a bottle of hand sanitizer.
"No touching doll"Steve warned and his boyfriend chuckled lightly.

2 days later there was a gala Tony had to go to and Steve insisted to join him, because he knew Tony wouldn't be careful enough.
As soon as they had left the car, of course Tony not touching anything or shaking anyone's hand without washing hands after, Steve scanned the area and wrote down in his head, who had coughed, sneezed or anything else.
As soon as Tony started talking to one of those people Steve eagerly dragged him away.
When they got home Steve forced Tony to shower.
Let's say.. Steve was a tiny bit protective.
