Tony could say a simple "Good job today" and he's turning red right in front of him

"What was that?"

"I said you did really good today"

Cue a flustered Steve trying to pull the reigns in on his arousal. (Especially when paired with a pat on the shoulder!) He almost becomes avoidant, trying not to show Tony how much it /means/ to him when he's praised by the older man.

Even when he overhears Tony praising him he has to leave the room because 'dear God, what is this man doing to me???'

And Tony's all "what the hell's his problem?" Until he slowly starts to pick up on this and like the little shit he is plays on it. He'll ask Steve to do anything and once he does responds with "Good boy" or he will look at him in awe and say "You're so good at that." and Steve loses it, immediately tries to hide how red his cheeks are getting and keep himself from asking Tony to say it again .

But one day he does

And when they start sleeping together of course Tony is having his fun. Steve gets riled up knowing how good he's making Tony feel and every word of encouragement goes straight to his head making him dizzy with the need to keep those words flowing from his mouth and Tony's smug ass is enjoying the ride.

Idk a flustered Steve and Tony pulling the strings rots my brain beautifully🤷‍♀️
