Fanfic- PG-13- An Artist's Touch

Author: Miko
Title: An Artist's Touch
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Marvel's
Notes: For crimsonquills

ALSO THE POST DIRECTLY BELOW THIS ONE IS PURE AND UTTER CRACK AND YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN READ OR COMMENT ON IT! (unless you're new here :P)

Tony’s fingertips brushed across the raised acrylic. He stared at the painting and his voice caught in his throat.

“It’s ok but I still need to work on…”

“It’s beautiful.” Tony interrupted Cap, not taking his eyes off the canvas.

He heard Steve chuckle.

“Thanks.” Cap stated in a voice that indicated he didn’t quite believe the other man.

Tony’s fingers were still outstretched. He was lost in thought. And… he realized he was jealous.

The movements of the brushstrokes, the way the colors swept across the image, it was so organic, so free.

Tony excelled at a lot of things, but letting himself go enough to produce something so liberated and moving was something he’d never been able to grasp.

He could do structured. He could do organized and efficient.

He couldn’t do free.

Freedom meant exposing something that was deeply personal. Tony was good at fake, Steve was amazing at real.

Tony turned toward Cap when he finally noticed Steve’s puzzled look at the back of his head.

“What are you thinking about?” Cap asked, confusion mixing with amusement.

Tony’s eyes fell upon Steve’s hands. He paused, feeling as though he’d never appreciated them before.

How the old soldier’s calloused hands could wield a powerful shield with deadly accuracy and create delicate ribbons of color and currents of emotion using latex and lead excited Tony’s mind.

He suddenly wanted those hands all over him.

Maybe they could find something beautiful in him as well. Something free. Something real.

Cap recognized the look on Tony’s face. He moved his hand up to brush the hair from Tony’s face. Tony could feel the cool thick weight of still wet paint on his forehead.

Steve furrowed his brow. “Sorry I got…”

“Don’t worry about it.” Tony interrupted again, as he quickly closed the space between them.

Tony drank in Steve’s scent as he pressed his lips against the blond’s neck.

They both fell against the wall.

Steve’s hands immediately wrapped around the back of Tony’s neck, gripping him tightly.

They felt so warm Tony grinned.

He nipped at Cap’s collarbone with his exposed teeth.

Steve gave a contented sigh. “I’d have shown it to you sooner if I’d known this would be your response.”

Cap’s voice vibrated through Tony’s inner ear as he pressed himself against Steve’s chest.

“You make the world seem beautiful.” Tony replied, grabbing Steve’s hands with his own and pressing their bodies harder against the wall.

This is so utterly adorable ^_^. I especially love the description of Steve's hands wielding the shield and painting (Mmmm... Steve's hands, all calloused and with little white scars on the knuckles, covered in paint spatters... I may have a thing about hands.).

Tony was good at fake, Steve was amazing at real.

Aw, Tony. Only you could be so in wuv with Steve and so down on yourself all in the same thought.
