"Captain America is not supposed to be adorable." But Tony really didn't seem him as Cap unless they were on a mission and even then it wasn't constant. "I might have been adorable when I was tiny but not now." He would have groused over it worse back then but it would have fit more than it did when he was over six feet tall.
Darling? Tony normally used nicknames and some of them might have slipped into pet name territory but that was new. That was... what Tony had promised when Steve had asked about coming home from the war. For a few seconds he ignored the unicorns and their questionable attention to give Tony a brilliant smile. "I'd like it if you called me that again later." The others could decide if he meant 'adorable' or 'darling'.
"I'm not a silly little virgin to be stolen and there's no Kool-Aid here." He accompanied the comment with a bewildered look that was completely fake. Steve knew what the reference meant but he could see if Tony figured that out.
When Tony made that pained noise, Steve glared at the offending unicorn. "You will not hurt him." Either the unicorns wanted to keep the virgin happy or his Cap voice worked on them too. The unicorn glared at Tony but moved away. The others seemed to be willing to keep a wary distance from Tony so Steve began to relax as he lead them toward the portal.
"Not just the old people. They were the polite ones. They just wanted a little thrill for old times' sake. The others..." There was a reason why he usually was the wallflower at those parties. It was harder for people to grope him if he was in the background.
