Who: Steve and Tony
What: Who knows
Where: Well, Steve is in his guest bedroom
When: Monday afternoon
Warnings: Its Tony Stark. R.

When Steve wanted to think he either left for the beach or retreated to the guest room where all his things were stored. This time, it was to the guest room he went, iPod in hand. Flopping over onto his back on it, still dressed in his jeans and a t-shirt, he put the headphones over his ears and scrolled through the music. Deciding on a new band he'd come to fancy - the Fray - he closed his eyes and just began to contemplate Christmas.

Really he had three people to buy for: Pepper, Tony and Psyche. Of course he also wanted to make Christmas cards for everyone who works on security at Stark Industries, since he knew all the men by name, so he'd have to work on that as well. However the cards would be easy. It was the trying to figure out what to get Pepper, Tony, and Psyche respectively that was hard. Sure, he could probably think of something nice to get Psyche, but Tony and Pepper? Tony was rich, he could buy them whatever they wanted, which made it very hard to Steve to think of something meaningful.

He sighed, tapping his fingers against the comforter he was laying on top of in time with the music. What to get them, what to get them. That was the question.

Sadly, the holiday of Christmas had sort of gone over Tony's mind since Thanksgiving, mainly because the biggest thing on his mind was the impending birth of his daughter. It wasn't all that far off,a month or so, and with each day ticking by, Tony got increasingly antsy. So much so, that he spent a lot of time down in his shop drawing up even more technologically advanced stuff for the baby's room.

Within two weeks, Tony had redesigned the entire room three times, and he still kept tweaking things even though it was flawless each go around. Then he realized that he just wasn't going to be able to sit still and went upstairs to find some work out clothing. Maybe a round or two in the gym would make it better. Not that his body wasn't in top form, but it wouldn't hurt to expend the excess energy.

That's when he found Steve in his room as he passed by, seeing the other man stretched out on his bed. Was he asleep? No, his fingers were tapping on the comforter. So Tony snuck in and picked up the iPod to toy with it. "The..Fray? Seriously?" he said out loud.

"Tony!" Steve blushed a little and pulled off his headphones. "What's wrong with the Fray?" The man asked, sitting up a bit, huffy at having been disturbed all of a sudden. Just when he'd started relaxing, too. Huff, huff puff. Of course he snatched his iPod back from Tony and stuck it under the blankets.

"Don't sneak up on me like that, you jerk." He grumbled, having been genuinely surprised since, when he in Tony's home, he didn't feel like he ever had to be on guard.

A small smile played at the corner of his lips at Steve's outburst, then actually had the audacity to look surprised when Steve snatched the iPod away. "It's...the Fray, Steve. You might as well listen to My Chemical Romance. I could have sworn I designated this house a rock and heavy metal zone," he said as he combed his fingers through his goatee. Of course, he was just teasing Steve. Just because he could.

"Aw, did I impose on your me time? Be glad I didn't walk in while you were jerking off or something equally embarrassing. Like listening to the Fray." Tony could be an ass when he wanted to, but his sarcastic humor was just the way he'd been.

	"Sometimes I need something more calming than that, Tony. The Fray is good thinking music." He scowled and then rolled his eyes. "I wasn't...doing anything else because I was thinking." Trying to figure out what to get his "family" for Christmas, though right at that moment he was more inclined to put Tony on the 'naughty' list and give him some coal.

Tony pursed his lips. "Come and work out with me. I was just about to change and go down to the gym. That should clear your head, help you think." It'd be Steve's luck and he'd give Tony coal and he'd find some way to get a diamond out of it or some fuel for some invention and wouldn't be too much of a punishment. "You weren't doing anything because I wasn't around." And waggled his eyebrows. "Come on. We haven't sparred in ages anyway."

Well, he supposed it would be sort of fun to spar, and perhaps then he'd be able to think some more about what on earth to get Tony and Pepper for Christmas. With a heavy, annoyed sigh he shrugged.

"Fine, fine. You've convinced me." Rolling off the bed, Steve moved to pull out some shorts and a wifebeater from his drawer so he could change into proper workout attire.

"See you downstairs," he smirked and left the room to go grab his own clothes. Tony changed into a pair of sweats and a black wifebeater, the arc reactor slightly glowing through the shirt. Heading downstairs to the gym, Tony proceeded to warm up while he waited for Steve. He really didn't need to warm up since Extremis made his physical reaction time the same as his mental ones.

	After changing, Steve made his way to the gym and plopped down on a mat. He stretched out his right leg, reaching to touch his toes, eyes closed as he held onto his toes for a minute. Then he did the same to the other. Perhaps he too didn't have to warm up or stretch but he liked to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Of course, Tony had no use for conventional methods of working out anyway, so while Steve warmed up, Tony decided to test his reflexes by punching and kicking in the air. Tony was definitely leaner and his muscles more defined from the nanotech running through his body, streamlining his body into what would be considered the perfect form. When he'd finished, he stretched his arms above his head and popped his neck, very ready for the sparring. "Ready to get your ass kicked?" he taunted playfully.

	"You should be asking yourself that question, Tony." Steve was older, more experienced with fighting. Martial arts were the one thing he was a natural at and, jumping up to his feet popped his back before looking to Tony with a challenge in his eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He may have been older and more experienced, but he didn't have the gift of the reaction time Extremis had to offer. "Don't think so, old man," he taunted Steve. Tony took a regular fighting stance on the opposite side of the mat, a smirk on his face. "Maybe we should make a bet depending on who kicks who's ass. Unless you're afraid."

	"What do you want to bet?" Steve didn't take a fighting stance. To be honest he didn't have a fighting stance because he didn't plan to make the first move. Always let the opponent strike first was his motto, and if the opponent never struck, it would mean there wouldn't be a fight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't know. What have you got to offer or what do you want from me?" That was usually a good and easy route to decide on a stake. The bad thing was Steve knew Tony's fighting style because he'd taught him everything he knew. He may have been better at anticipating Tony's maneuvers more than anyone else.
