Who: Steve Rogers and Richard Tozier
What: Shower bros?
When: Predawn on the 20th
Where: Steve and Tony's bathroom

Nothing in the town seemed much out of the ordinary as Steve did his first lap, not on his second or his thirtieth either. It was quiet and he could see his breath in the air in front of him and feel the warmth of his muscles as they worked. Dodger ran beside him, looping around to smell something or chase a bird when he got the chance. It was always just the two of them at this time, maybe he'd hear some drunk laughing, or Klaus might whistle at him on his way back home from who knows where. But not that morning, it was quiet and Steve liked the soft calmness of the morning. He skipped the gym, hoping maybe he'd tempt Tony to spar with him later and instead headed home to the shower.

The coffee started in the kitchen Steve stripped off and tossed his clothes into the hamper before he stepped into the warm spray. Of course their shower was always hot, it was one he shared with Tony after all, so nothing less would have been acceptable. He shut his eyes as he angled his face up and let the water rush over him, down over his hair.

It felt good on the skin at had been exposed to the cold air and he rolled his shoulders as he enjoyed the sensation. He'd let Tony sleep, it was still early, but that didn't mean he didn't toy with the idea of wishing maybe he'd wake up and join him.

Richie took the help, if only because he wasn't ready to do another slip and slide in the tub -- that wasn't a fun move and he was seriously just too old for bathtub acrobatics. Particularly the kind that weren't for fun. With Eddie.

"Right, no," Richie assured quickly, when Steve went off blushing (Richie was pretty sure. Everything was a blur) and trying to excuse what he'd been up to. "None of my business. You do you in the privacy of your own shower---" He paused when Steve went straighter, more concerned than embarrassed and squinted at him. "...What's the matter?" Beyond the obvious, where Richie was somehow in his bathroom, anyway. That part was a given.

Steve really didn't want to talk about it, about what he might have been thinking about doing, with anyone. Even less with the person who'd just appeared in his bathroom while he was very naked. But there was something else on his mind, because Steve didn't like to let Tony out of sight for long and being confronted by the bed, without the sheets thrown back like he'd just ducked out for a moment? It terrified him.

"Tony?" Steve called as he walked into the room and headed for the door. He made it all the way to the hallway before it was like a rubber band pulled tight and sent him backward knocking into Richie and pushing him back against the door frame.

"Darn it!" He grit out. "I'm sorry, I didn't- I don't know what's happening," Steve said as he peeled his bare chest off of him and made sure his towel was still secure around his hips.

This was all way too much for Richie's brain to wrap around -- between the -- this -- and now the whole Steve slamming back into him and nearly barreling Richie over thing (and honestly, they were about the same height, but Steve must have had -- shit, 80 more pounds of muscle on him, so it made a bit of a damn difference) it was just a lot.

So, obviously, he focused on the only thing he could in a time like this. "Darn it?" He repeated in question, hand moving up to adjust glasses that -- weren't fucking there. Right. How had he forgotten that? "Let's not even unpack that right now," he decided, because Steve not swearing shouldn't have been the thing that got to him. "Let's just -- uh. What just happened? Just now?" He squinted out into the hallways, but didn't see anything beyond blurry walls.

Of course after being naked and wet, the last thing he wanted was to be all over Richie who was equally wet but slightly less naked. Steve blushed, right up to his ears. "Can we just pretend all this never happened and never talk about it again?" He asked as he backed off (not too far) to get all out of Richie space.

"I need to find Tony," he told him seriously. "He's not- I need to find him." Because this place, with the people coming and going, Steve couldn't cope not knowing if he was here or gone.

"And you need glasses, let's just. Okay. Let's get it together."
