but what about tony falling asleep in steves lap (because its one of the few places he feels totally safe) and steve carrying him to their bed bridal style and laying tony on top of him so they can still snuggle?

😩 what makes this a SUPERIOR trope is that it can be from the filthiest contexts to the most innocent

YES to bridal carries, yes to tony having one of those days where he doesn’t feel like being a person and he can slump down into steve’s waiting arms and just lie there for a little while. or a long while

and this is an equally intimate & comforting gesture to steve who’s lost so much and feels that pressure of having to protect the world, his teammates, /tony/. steve, who often feels small again in the face of gods and aliens and monsters, likes being able to take tony so easily into his arms and just hold him knowing that at least then, at least now, tony is right there safe and alive in his arms???

yes but I love tony seeking all the contact for comfort. just cuddling
up to steve in his lap. listening to his heart beat. the warmth#of his body. feeling completely safe in tony’s arm and all of it lulling him to sleep at last#gosh yes#and steve feels so proud and honored to be that. to be safe for tony. the fact that he chooses to let his guard down with steve#steve
just enjoying the weight of tony against him. his smell and his soft
breathing. being able to take care of him and protect him ahhhh (via @willidothefandango)
