Steve drops the dish onto the counter and turns around in your grasp. His eyes are dark in the dim light of the Tower, and you can hear the fireworks start off outside. He wraps his arms around you, pulling you closer to him.
"This was the perfect birthday," he whispers lowly. "Thank you."
"Only the best for you, my love." You grin up at him, pulling him down for a kiss that you back out of at the last second.
Steve makes a frustrated sound. "You are so annoying sometimes, you know that?"
"Oh, I know I am."
Steve closes the distance between you and grabs your face between his hands, refusing to let you move away again. "Quit teasing me," he growls, bringing his face close to yours. "Final warning."
"Or what?" you challenge, biting your lower lip. "Whatcha gonna do about it, Captain?"
Steve's eyes flicker from yours to your lips. Just as you lean in to kiss him, he pulls away with a smirk, dropping his hands and turning back to his work. "Give you a taste of your own medicine," he replies with a shrug. "See how you like it."

Steve is able to keep away from you until the job is finished and you both make your way back home to your shared apartment. Once you're through the door, Steve shuts it and grabs you by the wrist, pulling you back to him. He doesn't say anything, only crashes his lips to yours with a ferocity that takes your breath away. His hands move to your hips while yours move to his hair.
You both fumble with his clothing, shirt being tossed across the apartment as you stumble backwards towards the bedroom. Steve pulls away for half a second to mutter, "Jump."
You comply, jumping into his arms as he places his hands under your thighs. You wrap your legs around his waist, lips moving back to his as quick as they left. You run your hands along his bare shoulders as he kicks the bedroom door open and lowers you both onto the mattress. Steve forces you into your back, and he crawls on top of you with a smirk on his face.
"So, how do you like teasing now?" Steve says, flashing you a smile as he lowers his face to yours.
You grin up at him, triumphant. "Well, if it gets you this enthusiastic, it was worth it."
Steve drops his head to your neck, letting a laugh loose. "You're impossible."
"Maybe, but you're forgetting something."
He raises his head, looking up at you through long lashes. "And that is...?"
"That I'm only impossible and teasing 'cause I love you."
Steve's face softens, and he perches himself up on his elbows, bringing his face close to yours. "I love you, too," he breathes. When he brings his mouth back to yours, just as passionate as before, you card your hands through his blond hair. He pulls back once again. "But you're gonna pay for all that teasing."
You give a lopsided grin at your boyfriend, coupled with a playful wink. "Bring it, Captain."
