He didn't want to get too emotional, like it was anything incredibly important being back to looking like this. But it was, to feel better, to feel strong, that was important to Steve. This body was the one he'd met Tony in, fallen for him in and that meant something.
Also he wasn't going to lie, Steve liked looking like this. Maybe he hadn't at first and it had taken some getting used to and he hadn't liked the attention that had come along with it. But this felt like him now, but knowing Tony wanted him regardless of what body he was in? That was an incredible feeling, something he'd never expected.
Steve's arms wrapped around Tony's waist and the scruff of his beard rubbed over the soft skin of his neck and it felt like coming home. "Hey, you," he said quietly, his voice a little thick and he hadn't expected this would feel so emotional.
