Don't encourage me with the tabloid thing, though; I might be tempted to write up some articles about Tony's bedroom adventures.
I'm supposed to discourage this? *grins* I keep (quietly!) hoping for a prequel to your tabloid series in which the tabloids lead to Tony and Steve getting together in the first place. :-D
"his bedroom antics could put an adult video store out of business if only there were tapes."
I actually burst out laughing when I read that line. That is GOLD.
*grins* I loved that line. I'm so glad it worked in the story!
And the media being confused about Captain America actually knowing what sex is was quite funny, and sadly, I can see that. I suppose they can always blame Tony for being the evil seducer of one of their country's most important and beloved national icons.
I bet there was a tabloid headline or two along those lines. Poor Steve. And now I have this mental image of him speaking to reporters for some reason, and the subject comes up, and he gets so frustrated that he bursts out with some sort of comment about the frequency and quality of the sex he and Tony have, and then is utterly mortified that he actually said that out loud...to reporters. And that night it's all over the news, and Steve refuses to come out of his and Tony's bedroom because he's so embarrassed, not realizing that this is just making all the other Avengers snicker even more, while providing additional material for teasing.
The last two lines were so sweet, because for Tony, that would be a big thing. Steve doesn't want him for his money, or just because he's a genius, or because he's famous, or anything else. He just loves Tony. The end.
It's kind of sad that this is so unusual for Tony, but as an author I kind of like it, because it makes his relationship with Steve that much more tender and special. *hugs the boys*
