Chapter 24
"This was not the plan!" Steve yelled, sprinting past Tony as they tried to dodge the hounding papparazzi chasing them down the street.
"So, what, you thought proposing to me in the middle of Central Park wouldn’tattract attention?” Tony gasped, ring hand gripped protectively against his chest as he followed Steve into an alley.
"I thought it would be romantic!" Steve whined. He grabbed Tony’s hand and tugged him further into the alley to avoid detection as the papparazzi ran past. "Shhhh."
They waited for a few moments in the shadows, quitely catching their breath. After a few minutes of not being interrupted, Tony let out a deep, relieved breath and turned to Steve.
"It was romantic," he reassured, leaning forwards to kiss the pout off Steve’s lips. "Just… maybe next time do it a little more privately."
"There won’t be a next time," Steve huffed, but let Tony kiss him again.
"Yeah, you’re right," Tony agreed. "Me and you forever, big guy. What do you say?"
"Aren’t I supposed to ask you that?" Steve laughed. "But it sounds pretty damn great."
