The two faces of Steve Rogers
I love the stories where Steve has two sides: one that swears like a sailor and the other that curses like a child. And Tony finds it both cute and terrifying because you never know which one you're gonna get. Don't get Tony wrong he loves every inch and quirk that's Steve inhibits with that large body but Tony, of course, has this deep urge to keep tabs of the switches and analyze them. After years of being with the big lug he gives up (not really it just goes in the back burner in his servers) and just decided to enjoy the ride. For example, once Steve was working on fixing his bike that Tony bought him as a fixer upper when he started to get frustrated. Tony, being the awesome husband that he is, just watches Steve flounder because he knows that Steve doesn't want his help unless he asks for it. So here he sat waiting for Steve's whine for help when it happens. Steve's face scrunches up in the cute way that makes Tony all soft and giggly because it's the pouty kind that rarely graces Steve's face. He just looks at the bike and the item in his hand that is covered in grease and says, "oh flubberstickle." And Steve meant it. Seriously. His pout deepens as Tony just laughs, hard. Soon Steve just huffs in annoyance and glares at Tony because he is the worst husband in the world (not really and if anyone else said that Steve will tear them a new one). Then not three hours later while they sat in a meeting that Tony could die in but was made bearable by his hubby deciding to join him when the other Steve comes out. They were talking about a subject that Tony does not really remember but he could tell that Steve was ready to blow. Still whenever his husband cusses with no filters always catches him by surprise and turns him on slightly. Tony watched Steve grow tense and move forward and he knew it was happening, "listen here you dumb f*@ker. All this dumb sh*t yer spittin' is nothing but false and embarrassing. To think that you sad f#$ker was promoted to the rank you are makes me think that the US Army has done nothin' but lower it's standards greatly. Let me enlighten you the fuck up so you don't continue this misconception..." Well, the point was that Tony knew not when his husband was going to swear like a sailor or curse like a child but Tony friggin loved every memory he witnessed because it just showed the sexy Rogers-Stark and the cute Rogers-Stark. BONUS: Little does Tony know that Steve sometimes swears so profoundly to get his lover and soulmate all wound up and turned on. He loves the way his words make Tony squirm. Steve had learned to use harsher language to make a point and to demand respect in the ranks while at war. Though it's when he is in the safe confines of their rooms whether it was in the penthouse, workshop or his studio where he feels like he can be himself and the childish curse words come out. Even when Tony laughs he still feels safe and happy to curse his preferred method of cursing.
