Chapter 31
”- the board was being particularly irritating, and you know how little patience I have for bullshit, Steve; it’s just not acceptable,” Tony rambled as Steve put a plate of chicken and garlic pasta in front of him. Without even taking a breath, he crammed a forkful into his mouth and carried on talking. “Mfff bbarrhh hurggg maf shtaammm -“
"I can’t understand you when you speak gibberish, Tony," Steve told him fondly, taking his place at the other side of the table. "I swear you’re like a five year old."
"I resent that," Tony grumbled after swallowing his food. "I’m five and a half."
Steve rolled his eyes, but still put his fork down so he could reach out and take Tony’s hand. “I love you, you child.”
"And I love you, old man," Tony replied, and then crammed more pasta into his mouth. "Fooooooh mugghhhh."
All Steve could do was laugh.
