“You’re going to have to shave,” are Tony’s first non-whispered words. Walking into the nave of the cathedral has been a buzzkill from the grand austerity of the exterior. It looks the way Tony might have expected Religion, embodied, to appear: broken, once loved, no longer needed. He has no time for this.
He waits for Steve to turn towards him, tempting those eyes to look reproachful, before he continues. It gives him some odd joy to have the other man oppose him.
“And I’ll need to bleach your hair back to the original color.”
Tony looks older than he had six years ago. He has grays that he partially covers in vanity, deeper lines than he ever thought possible, and he’s pretty sure he’s even shrunk. Steve, on the other hand, has a body given to him by science. And science isn’t letting him age at a natural profession. Steve Rogers, if blond and fresh faced, neatly groomed and put in brighter colors, is timeless.
And he’s the one everyone will look at. SHIELD would have just defrosted him, after all. And that means that for them to walk into this joint, Steve is going to have to be on point.
And Tony will just put on some rose colored glasses and exude the awesomeness most people know him for.
“But first we’re going to need a place to stay. No offense, but I’m not sleeping in the place where some guy in a dress told you that you’d go blind from jerking off. By the way, you won’t. Enjoy. Thankfully I have the same credit card account.”
