Steve had been expecting the teasing so it didn't come as a surprise, but it still made him groan with half exasperated amusement. Honestly, Tony never took anything seriously, did he?

"Don't mention it; seriously, especially if it's going in an unmentionables drawer." He was kind of proud of that joke, dorky though it was. "Didn't you just install a new engine the other week?"

Not that he minded, but it seemed unnecessary work for Tony.

He was, at least, inclined to not be cold towards him. He had been annoyed on the night, and he was still inclined to be irritated about what had happened, but he had already vented his displeasure and so to keep harping on about it wouldn't be kind, he just had to hope that Tony had thought about it and might change his ways for the future.
