[ HYDRA, as it turned out, had been working on other biological projects, which Steve had discovered one night late in the war when he infiltrated a small outpost and found a number of wolves. At first, he'd thought they had just been exceptionally resilient animal specimens - he'd had to set the house on fire and trap them inside to escape after he'd run out of ammunition.
When the full moon came, he discovered that they hadn't just been wolves, they had been werewolves. He turned into a beast, ran through the forest, and when dawn came, he found himself miles from camp, naked on a bed of pine needles.
(That had been a little awkward.)
A few months later, he'd gone under the ice, and nothing mattered anymore.
Fast-forward a good few decades, and Steve's out of the ice and managing his furry little problem the best he can. Which is to say, he disappears once a month and hope nobody notices. That hasn't been a problem till now. He's ostensibly under house arrest in Stark Tower, and, okay, he knows Tony won't care if he leaves, won't tell the government that he's suddenly disappeared. But that doesn't mean he's not paranoid about it.
There's really nothing he can do, though. Sure, he could probably spend the full moon curled up in his room, but he knows Tony has cameras in there to monitor him (doesn't blame him for it), and that's obviously a problem. He'll just have to suck it up and sneak out.
He's pretty sure Tony's preoccupied with something - a meeting, genius Tony things, whatever - when he casually strolls out of the tower before sunset in a hoodie, baseball cap tucked under his arm. Once he's safely out of view, he puts the baseball cap on, pulls up the hood - he can't wear sunglasses right now, that would just look weird. It's not far to the park, but he can feel the tug of the moon in his bones, and it makes him walk a little faster.
Steve wishes he would've had a chance to scope out the park ahead of time; right now, he just has to strip down and hope to god nobody steals his clothes as he stashes them deep in a copse of trees. And then- then the change hits, twisting his bones, reforming his body. It feels like the serum did every time, hurts like hell, but soon enough he's on four legs.
The wolf in him misses the jungles of Wakanda; they'd been hot, but wild, full of animals to hunt. The city isn't the same, not when the park isn't big enough to really run through, not when the biggest animals in the bushes are squirrels and rabbits. It feels distinctly unsatisfying; he wants to hunt, to feel the exhilaration as he brings down his prey, the hot blood on his tongue. As he thinks about it, there's a rustle in the underbrush behind him, and without thinking, he tenses his muscles and leaps. ]

[ Because he catches that look, and there's a hint of affectionate laughter in his tone when he speaks. Steve shucks the pants off and leaves them in the shower, steps out and grabs a towel instead. ]
And if the answer to that is no, then you at least need to wait for me to eat, 'cause I'm starving.
no subject
[ Meaning Tony can totally go longer without food but... whatever.
He watches as Steve gets out before following, stepping over the pants and moving a little slower than normal to wrap a towel around his waist. He doesn't bother drying his hair, or most of himself for that matter, just shuffles past Steve back to the bedroom.]
C'mon, Fluffy. Food time.
no subject
[ Along with everything else.
Steve settles down on the bed, arranging styrofoam containers around him, and god, the smells wafting up from them are heavenly. If he were a wolf, he'd be drooling right now. As it is, he looks a little impatient for Tony to get settled in, waiting for him to get started because his mother drilled manners into him, and apparently those manners hold even when he's sitting on a bed in the nude. ]
no subject
Dropping to the bed, Tony watches with amusement as Steve all but begins to salivate over the food. Though, he doesn't blame him; the food does smell delicious. ]
Oh you can start, stop looking at me like that.
[ He wants to say it is a kicked puppy look, but-- well it is. So Tony just grabs a container, sticks his tongue out at Steve, and pops it open.]
no subject
(Yes, even after he ate ALL THE MEAT last night.)
Or it could be the amazing sex he had earlier, or maybe both. ]
So am I doomed to a life of stupid dog jokes now?
[ HE KNOWS WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY, TONY. ]
no subject
[ But there is something that is terribly close to an honest smile on his face, something like laughter, as he looks up over his container to Steve. Yeah, maybe he was a little fucked, and maybe this whole thing was a disaster waiting to happen, but right now?
Right now Tony thinks that the strange feeling settling in his stomach might be that thing they call happiness.
Either that, or that first bite of egg was poisoned. ]
no subject
[ He scoots closer to Tony, close enough that their shoulders bump together. Yeah, he likes that better. Something in him wants to be able to touch him all the time; it's not even sexual, just...a hunger for contact. ]
Better not start calling me Fluffy in public, though.
[ He drags his container over so he can reach it, then slings one arm around Tony, using it to steal bacon from him instead. ]
no subject
He is also not going to say anything about the fact that the simple closeness, the contact with Steve, calms him even further. Chases away the trembling energy that had him shaking earlier, and leaves him in a calm that, later, he might look back on and think is a bit strange.
Until then, he squawks over the stolen bacon and drives his shoulder into Steve.] Hey! That's... ugh. Fine, stop stealing my bacon and I won't call you Fluffy in front of anyone else. I guess.
no subject
You'd have a hell of a time explaining that nickname.
[ Instead, they'll probably end up having to explain why they're suddenly incredibly affectionate (in their own weird way, but it's still jarring for people who were pointedly ignoring each other a matter of weeks ago). The nickname might be easier, actually. ]
no subject
Oh.
There is a moment where Tony freezes, the kiss catching him a little off guard though he doesn't know why. It's gone in a moment before Tony is tugging at Steve's bottom lip before pulling away and sticking a tongue out at Steve.]
Don't distract me to steal my bacon, you dog!
[ Yeah, okay, he is laughing. Well done Steve. You have broken down so many of Tony's layers and now he's just a bit of a mess as he tries to figure this out. You know, while being curled into you and eating bacon.]
no subject
[ Said smugly through a mouthful of bacon. The difference is very important to him, okay?
But something about Tony's laughter just makes him happy in a way that almost never happens, curling through him in a wave of warmth and contentment. It's the sort of feeling that would make him want to wag his tail, if he had a tail right now. Since he doesn't, he just kisses the tip of Tony's tongue and then-
Okay, then he sucks it into his mouth and kisses him again. At least he's not stealing the bacon this time, though. ]
no subject
[ It's clear he is just saying that to irritate Steve, laughter curling his lips as he taunts Steve.
Of course, then the jerk goes and ruins it with another kiss and-- shit. He should not be so easily affected by kissing for fuck's sake, it's stupid. But the moment Steve's lips are on his Tony can all but feel himself scattering apart, falling into some strange space where he just is with Steve. He murmurs against Steve's lips, eyes half closed and words slow and languid.]
You're a fucking cheat, Steve, distracting me with things better than bacon.
no subject
I think we oughta move the food off the bed. Unless you want to artfully arrange bacon over your naked body, which...is kinda weird, but I could probably get into that.
Don't put it on your dick, though. That seems pretty hazardous.
no subject
At least until Steve mentions it.
Then Tony is laughing, a little breathless and strained, looking at Steve with far more softness in his eyes than he should be capable of.] Uh, I don't mind you eating me, but yeah, should probably move the food.
[ He can barely hear the small voice from before, the one that is worried and criticizing, racing in circles to tell him how this was a mistake. Now all he can think is Steve Steve Steve and press into the touch.]
no subject
[ He arches an eyebrow at Tony, flashing him a crooked grin, and then he's bending down and sucking his cock into his mouth, hollowing his cheeks around it.
What was that about moving the food? He's totally forgotten now. ]
no subject
Fuck, Steve-- that's not fair...
[ Not that he sounds upset at all, not even a little. Especially when you consider how his fingers are curling in his hair, blunt nails on Steve's scalp.]
no subject
no subject
Tony's hips jerk despite him trying his hardest to keep still, something like a mantra of Steve's name on his lips as more of his cock is swallowed down. Tipping his head back, Tony bites his lip and runs his hands along Steve's scalp as he shakes. ]
Shit, fuck... Steve. So good, oh my god, you're going to kill me...
no subject
Instead, he just concentrates on sucking him off and giving him a goddamn amazing blowjob, running his fingers over his inner thighs deftly. ]
no subject
Tony goes from kind of hard to nearly incoherent with want faster than he ever has in his life, it makes his head spin and fuck. Tony's hips twitch and he tries (and fails) to swallow back a shaky moan of Steve's name.]
Steve, fuck, Steve, I can't--
no subject
God, he loves this, loves the feeling of Tony being at his mercy - loves just getting to do this to him. Never mind that it's only the second time they've done anything; it just seems so familiar, like they've been doing it for years. Like he instinctively knows just what to do to take him apart, doesn't even have to think about it. ]
no subject
There is a broken noise, Tony's hips spasming as his orgasm washes over him and fuck fuck fuck he swears he is shaking apart, torn open by Steve and his goddamned everything.]
no subject
Not a bad breakfast, don't you think?
[ And he reaches out with one arm to grab another piece of bacon and munch on it. ]</small.
no subject
[ Tony doesn't even have the brainpower to think of a retort. He is sated and boneless and so pleased as he curls into Steve's warmth. It's hard to think about why he was panicking earlier, why all of this seemed like a horrible idea when Steve looks as fucking pleased as he does right now.
There is another groan from Tony as he presses his face into Steve's chest, tiny tremors still working through him.]
You're incorrigible. Who knew.
no subject
[ And even though his erection is pressing into Tony's hip, Steve seems happy to just hold Tony with one arm and shovel food into his face with the other. Look, replenishing his energy is very important, okay? ]
