Power dynamics can be terribly ambiguous. Steve views his charge of the team as a tremendous responsibility; he gives orders, sure, but in the end he's supposed to make sure there are no unnecessary sacrifices, and to never ask anyone to do what he won't do himself. A commanding officer has to balance protecting his team with trusting them to do what they know they can accomplish. Done the way Steve tries to do it, it's almost a nurturing role, hence his tendency to quiet, warm (and potentially somewhat annoying) pep talks.
Of course, he's also way worse at taking orders than his military history would suggest. That may or may not extend to the bedroom--certainly he seems to be amenable right now--but dominance versus submission between them, whether deliberate or informal, could end up being a tricky little dance. Then again, that might make it more fun.
Steve gives a quiet, uncomplicated little laugh at 'respect your elders'. Even age is ambiguous with them, isn't it? Steve is chronologically older, but with less life experience since he was unconscious for the vast majority of it. But both of them have seen some shit, that's for sure. There is a strange sense of comfort, though, in Tony claiming seniority. He kinda likes that.
"Yes, sir," he says, just a little bit coy. Because 'sir' doesn't have to be military, after all.
Unfortunately, he has to back off a little in order to get the underwear off, but once that's handled he returns to the position he was in like there are magnets drawing them together. He licks his palm before wrapping his hand around the both of them, leaning his body over Tony and resting his weight on one elbow. "Like this?"
His eyes meet the other man's, watching for discomfort or fear, but half cuddled-up and having his dick stroked lovingly is hopefully as far from a callback to trauma as they can get. "Does that mean you're gonna let me come, or have you not decided yet?"
