"Daddy!" Tony called from his spot on the floor. He was currently in the living room surrounded by toys. "Come play with me!"
Looking up from his spot on the couch Steve smiles at his little. Tony brings him so much joy he cannot help but melt when he's like this.
"Okay baby what are we playing?"
"Dinosaurs!" Tony shouts excitedly as Steve moves from the couch to the floor. He grabs his favorite ones and scoots his butt across the floor to his daddy. "You take these and I'll keep this one and we're going on an adventure!"
"An adventure huh? Where are we going?"
"To the Great Valley! It's where all the good dinosaurs are going to live and play! So we have to go there too but it's a long way and we've never been there before! And and and the bad dinosaurs are looking for us! We have to go now Daddy!"
"Okay okay bud you lead the way."
Two hours later and they have finally found the Great Valley after a crazy trip that involved both a dinosaur dance off and a high stakes poker game between dinosaurs. Steve was happy to be getting off the floor and start on making dinner for his little boy. He knew Tony would go crazy for the dino nuggets Steve got the other day. Hopefully he would eat them and not demand they go the Great Valley first.
"Ok bud let's change your diaper and then I'll make us some yummy dinner okay?"
"Noooo Daddy I'm playing!"
"You can play more after. Come on now, be my good boy and we'll be done real quick."
Tony grudgingly got up and took his daddy's hand and followed him to the nursery. It was a beautiful room, little blue with clouds painted across every wall. Steve had even painted some of the clouds different animals. The room was filled with more toys and stuffed animals, but also had the necessities like a crib, changing table, and rocking chair.
Steve lifted him up onto the changing table and took off his pants and his dirty diaper. After cleaning him up he placed the new diaper on and put his pants back as they were. Tony as usual just laid there with his thumb in his mouth, looking absently around the room as his daddy took care of him.
When Steve was done he picked up his baby and carried him back to the living room where the toys were still out. "You play while Daddy makes dinner okay baby?" Steve says while running his hand through Tony's hair affectionately.
"Okay Daddy" Tony starts to pick up his toys and play again. Steve smiles at his boy. So well behaved. Most of the time.
Steve makes some classic mac'n'cheese to go with the nuggets. When it's all done he sets up the table for himself and his boy. Tony sees what he's doing and exciting comes into the kitchen. "We eat now Daddy?"
"Yes sweetheart we are going to eat right now. Let's wash our hands first though okay?" As he leads Tony to the sink he walks behind him and they wash up together. Steve lifts up Tony and puts him in his highchair. He sits down and gives Tony his plastic plate so he can see the dino nuggets. Tony must like them afterall, because he screeches and claps his hands together. They eat in peace as Steve feeds Tony his mac'n'cheese and Tony dips his nuggets in ketchup. Still Tony ends up a mess and Steve wipes his hands and face. Tony whines as Steve wipes his face up and Steve calms him down and picks him up. Steve sits down with Tony on the couch, who lays his head in the crook of Steve's neck. The older man then runs his hand up and down Tony's back and hums to him.
A bit later Steve gets up and carries Tony into the bathroom. He sets him on the closed toilet lid and turns his attention to the tub where he turns on the water and checks the temperature before letting it fill up. Next he turns back to his boy and takes off his shirt. Then he stands him up and takes off his pants and onesie. Tony stands there in his diaper with his thumb in his mouth looking at his daddy. Steve then takes off his diaper and throws it in the garbage before helping him into the tub as it fills up. Steve adds some bubble bath and Tony smiles around his thumb in delight while being put into the bath.
Splashing around in the water, Tony plays with his ducks. He has a bunch of them in different shapes and sizes. His favorites include a big yellow one and a small blue one with sunglasses. Steve lets him play for a while before going to wash his hair. Tony whines since he wants to keep playing but his daddy calms him down.
"Almost done bud and then you can pick out your jammies." Steve rinses the conditioner out of his hair and drains the tub. He grabs a nice and clean towel for his boy and picks him up out of the tub. He drys his boy as best he can in the short time he has before Tony gets impatient and carries him into the nursery. Tony gets laid on the changing table again and goes to put his thumb in his mouth. Before he can his daddy puts a pacifier in his mouth and puts him in a night diaper. As promised, Tony picks his jammies. Steve opens the drawer for his boy and asks which his wants.
"The dino ones daddy!" The little inventor says excitedly.
"Hmm of course buddy. I should've known." He smiles and puts the jammies on the boy.
Once Tony is dressed for the night, Steve carries him to the kitchen to prepare his bottle. He knows better than to put him down at this point since the little one gets clingy before bedtime.
Master of preparing bottles one handed, Steve quickly finishes his task and walks back to the nursery, humming along the way.
He then sits in the rocking chair with his boy who is very much really for his bottle. The little knows that his daddy makes it just how he likes, with a bit of vanilla flavoring. He eagerly started to suck it down the second his daddy put it to his mouth, eyes getting heavier by the second.
Soon the bottle is about empty and Tony is completely asleep in Steve's arms. He continues to hum nonetheless, not wanting the peaceful moment to end.
Eventually, Steve gets up and puts the boy in his arms into his crib for the night. He kisses his forehead and whispers 'sweet dreams sweetheart' before pulling up the sidebar on the crib and closing the door behind himself, thinking it might be bedtime for supersoldiers too.
