I hope I can find some kind of cardio to replace it, [Tony deadpans, though his voice wavers a little when Steve starts to run his fingers through his hair. He should put a stop to this kind of casual flirting, except it's one of those things Tony finds easier than breathing. He just doesn't normally do it with Steve, for a lot of reasons. (Okay, so the "Steve probably isn't into men" reason has been very solidly disproven, but there are others.)
But Tony doesn't want to stop. He likes this easy rapport between them - god, it's so much less complicated than fighting all the time (although that has a certain appeal). He's too fucking tired to keep pushing against Steve, the original immovable object, and he thinks that maybe Steve might feel the same way about their arguing.
So, yeah, some kind of truce sounds pretty good to Tony right now. Because if he starts pissing Steve off again, then he's definitely not going to have more mornings like this, and right now, this is pretty much everything he wants in life.]
