If It's Not You, It's Not Anyone

Summary:

Cap-IM Universe Medley Fest - Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes
-
In the aftermath of the Secret Invasion, Tony makes sure Steve knows just how loved he really is.

Notes:

“You are the only one I'll ever love
Yeah, you, if it's not you, it's not anyone
Lookin' back on my life, you're the only good I've ever done
Yeah, you, if it's not you, it's not anyone”
- Justin Bieber, Anyone

 

A/N: This is my first thing for EMH and I'm kind of surprised that it's taken this long!! I'm hoping to rewatch the series once I have more free time and do more works outside of MCU (lol) but I hope y'all enjoy this short texting fic

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Tony

Yesterday 11:56 PM
Steve: Still working?

Tony: i'll be up soon

Steve: I'll keep the bed warm.

Tony: god i love you (Face Throwing A Kiss)

Today 5:42 PM
Tony: “broken friendships, broken trust, wounds such as these take much longer to heal”

Tony: don’t get me wrong, thor’s great

Tony: love the guy, wonderful team member

Tony: pantene model of the year

Tony: but what the fuck

Steve: He's not wrong, though.

Tony: who says that

Tony: no, stop, c'mon

Tony: i trust you with my life, without hesitation

Steve: Do you?

Tony: okay, maybe there was some hesitation

Tony: but i love you, and the unwavering trust is sort of built into that sometimes

Steve: I still feel like I need to make up for it all. I don’t know.

Tony: if there’s anyone that should feel guilty, it’s me

Tony: i should’ve figured it out sooner

Steve: How did you?

Steve: Figure it out, I mean. What tipped you off?

Tony: you can’t spell “subtext” without “buttsex” and there was a severe lack of it, frankly

Steve: Please tell me you’re joking.

Tony: i am

Tony: not

Tony: that super skrull barely touched me more than a clap on the back, never swooned whenever i entered a room

Steve: I do not swoon!

Tony: you definitely swoon

Tony: you drool a little bit too

Tony: you think no one notices, but we do

Steve: I hate you.

Tony: you laughed, didn’t you?

Steve: I plead the fifth.

Tony: in all seriousness, there was something missing that i couldn’t put a finger on

Tony: your essence, your normal wise-cracks, your uncanny ability to throw me down to the mat

Tony: cap, every time i look back on my life, you’re the only good i’ve ever done

Tony: no skrull could ever hope to replace that

Steve: Thanks, Tony. I love you.

Tony: love you too

6:25 PM
Tony: so... about that subtext?

Steve: You're insatiable.

Steve: Expect me in five.
