OOM: Orpheus

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Steve has had a busy day--busier than he anticipated, in fact, and he'd rather go back to base fresh than worn out.

And he has the key Orpheus gave him.

So it's one supersoldier, one sleepy shower and a solid eight hours later, who's asleep in Orpheus's bed.

Orpheus' skin is a bit clammy underneath. He takes the shirt from Steve and drops it to the floor with a wet slopping noise.

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

"Get these off too," Steve murmurs, undoing his trousers, "and we can do some of that body heat thing to warm you up."

[golden_lyre]

Orpheus struggles to get out of his wet jeans as they cling to his skin. "That body heat thing, hm?"

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

"Two naked bodies," Steve says, peeling off the wet jeans.

[golden_lyre]

"Yeah, I remember how it works," Orpheus says, kicking his jeans aside as well.

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Steve kisses his hip and shoves the wet jeans onto the floor, and then pushes off the sweat pants he slept in and wraps himself around Orpheus.

[golden_lyre]

"Yeah, that's definitely better," Orpheus murmurs, arms curling around Steve.

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Steve rubs Orpheus's arms and back, and tucks his feet against Orpheus's calves.

[golden_lyre]

Orpheus smiles. "You're warm, lovely."

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

"I think it's another metabolism thing. But are you warming up?"

[golden_lyre]

"Yeah," Orpheus murmurs, kissing him again. "You're pretty good at that."

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Steve smiles and kisses him back.

[golden_lyre]

"What have you been up to?" Orpheus whispers against his lips.

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

"Getting ready to ship out," Steve says softly.

[golden_lyre]

"I thought you already had?"

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Steve shakes his head. "We've been preparing, and the weapons and uniforms are ready now. In a couple days we head back to the continent."

[golden_lyre]

"What are you heading back for?" Orpheus asks, tracing his fingers along Steve's cheek.

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

"Destroying the HYDRA factories. I saw a map when I was rescuing Bucky and my unit is going to focus on them."

[golden_lyre]

"And you're not afraid that each factory you destroy will produce a dozen more?"

It's a serious question, okay?

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Steve snorts and shoves him a little. "No. I am not worried about that. We're cauterizing the stumps, not just cutting off the heads."

[golden_lyre]

Orpheus laughs a bit. "Just making sure."

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Steve kisses him. "You're not going to worry about me, are you?"

[golden_lyre]

"Maybe a little," Orpheus admits.

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

"Oh, sweetheart," murmurs Steve and kisses him a few more times. "Let me show you something."

He gets out of bed and goes to the chair where he usually hangs his jacket, and brings a large round shield back to the bed.

"This is my shield. It's made from the rarest metal on earth. It's completely vibration-absorbent. It's bullet-proof."

[golden_lyre]

"A shield is not infallible, lovely," Orpheus points out. "Plenty of men have died without sword or bullet ever piercing their shield."
