Debate, Wednesday, November 9, 2016

The classroom today was very... fluffy. In fact, almost everything had been replaced by pillows. Weren't you all happy about that?

Tony was wearing dark sunglasses to sort of hide his hangover, but it did nothing to hide how surly last night had made him. Oops. "Morning, kids. Today we won't be debating."

Steve blew out a low breath and turned his attention to the students. "Not at all. Today we're going to be looking at cat videos. Or puppies. Or otters. And drinking hot chocolate. And saying nice things about each other."

"Plotting a coup," Tony muttered into his cup of coffee.

Steve poked him. "Not in front of the kids," he hissed.

"Yes, dear," Tony replied caustically. Then winced because oh god, his head. Extremis couldn't even knock it back completely. And, try as he might, he was lacking on inspiring speeches about unity at the moment. "Just... enjoy the baby animals."

They were so adorable and innocent!

Yeah, if Steve opened his mouth again, a rant about not going into the ice to face this bullshit again was imminent, so...baby animals.

"And we're here if you need a hug or a shoulder," he added.

Share cat videos. Oh God, do we need cat videos today.

Steve gives amazing hugs. Just sayin'.

Steve was adamantly not checking the news today. At all.

"I could use a hug."

A general lack of civic engagement meant Isabela was actually blissfully unaware that Kirkwall was actually loooking like a pretty good option, but since hugs had been offered...

"Of course," Steve said, smiling.

Poor, innocent, Steve.

Isabela held her arms wide open. "You're too kind."

Stop taking advantage of the nice super-soldier, Isabela.

Steve gave her a big hug. "Today, kindness matters."

Awww, Steve, why'd you have to be so earnest, now she was feeling guilty about planning to 'accidentally' grope that booty.

Not that it'd stop her doing it if the hug went on long enough, but she'd feel really bad about it.

Earnestness was also his superpower!

He gave her a reassuring little back pat.

Isabela couldn't help herself. Her hand slipped. Oops.

Steve jumped back slightly and narrowed his eyes a bit. "Feeling better?"

Isabela looked as pure and innocent as the driven snow. "Very."

Even without the booty, Steve gave good hugs.

Steve smiled. "Good. I'm here to help."

Oh, Steve.

And Tony was watching the global market convulse with abject horror while wondering if he could spike his coffee without Steve noticing.

As one does.

"Stop watching," Steve murmured. "Find a cat video."

"I can't help it," Tony muttered, blinking away the screen to a puppy that couldn't roll off its back. "God, I need my company back."

Steve reached out to clasp Tony's shoulder (he needed a lot of contact today, shh). "I know."

Damn it, Steve. This was going to end in Tony being way more touchy-feely with his own Steve one day.

He sighed and shifted closer to lean against Steve. "I'm going to take over the rust belt when I get my company back."

"Give them living wages and they'll stop being so angry," Steve said.

"Maybe a few seminars about not being a racist moron," he added. "Healthcare for them and their families."

That sounded like crazy talk, guys.

"Start with the healthcare and the money, then ease into the racism and sexism," Steve said. "God. Is it bad that I'm glad Peg's in a different reality where this didn't happen?"

Tony winced at that. "It's the little things keeping us sane."

"She'd never stop yelling," Steve said.

"Jan would be the same." A beat. "They're never allowed to meet."

Steve laughed. "They'd be best friends immediately. I almost want to do it."

"Peggy would be informed of all the stupidly heroic things you do," Tony replied. Because he'd tell Jan to tell Peggy, but shh.

"They wouldn't surprise her," Steve said a little sheepishly. "She once watched me jump on a grenade."

"I don't even have the energy to sigh at you," Tony said, resting his forehead against his coffee cup. "You're so much like my Barton."

Who was, as always, a hot mess.

"I like Barton," Steve said with a smile.

Of course he did. They were a lot alike.

"Everyone likes Barton. He's like the little brother that doesn't want you around." Steve was... not like a little brother. For reasons.

"And both of our lives as only kids gives us a lot of experience with little brothers," Steve teased.

"Rhodey is about as close to a brother as I could hope for," Tony replied with a fond smile. "God knows there don't need to be more Starks our there."

"I know I've met enough," Steve said, eyes sparkling.

Such a secret troll.

"I know where you sleep, Rogers," Tony reminded him. Just ignore how it was making the corner of his mouth turn up. He was serious here!

"I'm not afraid of you, Stark," Steve replied.

For that Tony muttered something vaguely threatening into his coffee. It was so scary. Fear his hungover wrath.

Group hug?
