Drabble- for Seanchai- PG

Author: Miko
Title: Death Wish
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Marvel’s
Prompt: Puddles by axolotl_lan (I don’t think this is what either of us thought would come from this prompt… >.>)
Notes: Little bitty drabble for seanchai who asked for fluff. I promise it’s a lot fluffier then the title makes it seem. :D

Steve waited as the elevator doors opened to the Avenger’s floor of Stark Tower.

Immediately he felt his sympathetic nervous system activate. His body was readying him for a fight and he wasn’t sure why. He looked around the floor and tried to find the source of imminent danger.

He furrowed his brow as nothing immediately presented itself. Suddenly he heard a familiar voice swearing, and he unexpectedly understood.

Tony Stark was currently in the kitchen, attempting to do things that weren’t- eat food, drink coffee, or hand things over to Jarvis.

He cautiously approached the countertop.

He went to lean on the marble when he noticed that the kitchen was covered in various ingredients. Flour on the floor, crumbs on the counter and literally puddles of something that reminded Steve of maple syrup right where he had attempted to rest his elbow.

Steve stood there in what resembled shock, as Tony turned with a dish towel covering his hands.

Steve stared at him.

Tony froze.

Cap noticed a rather nasty red blister burn right below Tony’s right eye. He furrowed his brow at the other man.

Tony glared back.

“It’ll heal.” He responded, looking around the kitchen and pretending to know exactly what he was looking for next in his kitchen exploits. “You should have seen it an hour ago.”

“Tony what are you doing?”

“Cooking.” He replied in all honesty.

Steve gave the kitchen another once over. “Can I help you?”

“What makes you think I need any help?” Tony replied, turning to open the oven. Black smoke began to billow out of it the second he opened door. He shut it again.

Steve bit his tongue to not laugh.

“I didn’t realize you were proactively trying to get yourself killed.”

“Hmm?” Tony replied absently, trying to look like he wasn’t panicking.

Steve was actually surprised the fire alarm hadn’t gone off yet… unless Tony was blocking it with Extremis.

“No I was just thinking about how Jarvis was going to take it when he sees this…” Steve said coyly.

Tony stopped his attempts to block the smoke from Cap’s view to look around the kitchen. He ran his fingers through his hair causing it to stick up straight due to whatever substance was still on Tony’s fingers.

Steve pretended not to notice.

“Yeah ok.” Tony conceded.

“Yeah ok what?” Cap replied innocently.

            “Help me.” Tony said in a voice that sounded almost sad. Cap thought Tony must have been trying very hard at this. He didn’t like to fail at things. Neither did Steve.

            “What were you doing all of this for?” Cap asked him, moving from the countertop over to where Tony stood, trying to avoid more puddles of sticky things on the floor.

            Tony looked down.

            “Tony?”

“You weren’t supposed to be back for two more hours…” The other man replied quietly.

Steve fought back a blush.

“This was for me?” He looked around the kitchen and started to laugh. "You shouldn't have."

Tony hit him with the towel.

“Shut up and help me before Jarvis gets back.”

 

The End

Bye All! I’ll miss you guys while I’m in Australia! I’ll get back in the end of July and I can’t wait to see all the greatness you guys have posted! :D

“What makes you think I need any help?”


*giggles* Poor Tony, trying so hard to hold onto his dignity and pride despite his utter, Bruce-Wayne-levels lack of an ability to cook and the sticky stuff in his hair. And Steve attempting to be diplomatic *grins*

Awww. I love how determined Tony is to make Steve food, inspite of the fact that he's destroyed the kitchen and burned himself in the process. And Steve simultaneously trying not to laugh, and being secretly touched.


Thank you so much for writing this; it was such a nice way to unwind, after finals :)
