“Ella-ella-ella,” Tony chants, because he doesn’t want to picture Steve wearing clothing from 90s music videos. It’s bad enough that he’s already warping the watercolorist drag queen off-Broadway play version of Rogers together with the Lumberjack he littered the floor with and this new-but-old Rogers standing in front of him.
Tony can’t see a difference in the brassiness of his hair, but he’s not a super soldier with superior sight that doesn’t appear to age like a normal person. This Tony Stark is much older than the one from most of a decade ago. He’s not sure if he’s improved with age, but he still doesn’t think anyone will look too closely. Most people don’t really look at him for long periods of time.
Evidently being a wise cracking, genius, billionaire tends to make people uncomfortable.
Except for Steve Rogers, who doesn’t care who you are and will punch you down to size if he thinks you’re being a bully.
In response to Steve’s ‘jealousy,’ Tony tries to drain the last two drops from the glass, but it’s a no go. He barely gets a taste and his smarmy, absolutely drunken smile proves that the whole thing was for the best.
“I really like this Taxi Cab Confessional episode. I’m learning so much about you.” The man might be drunk, but he doesn’t slur. That’s the mark of a truly functioning alcoholic. “What’s it like…? Crashing? Do you remember it more than just subconsciously?” Because if Steve gets nervous about water on his head-- Well, who the hell knows. Tony’s not an expert in psychoanalysis. Maybe he’ll spend tonight reading up on it so he can be.
