Description
Tony emerged from his workshop for once in the past couple days. He finally decided that he wanted to get some coffee and went into the kitchen. It was about 5 in the morning, so he wasn't really expecting anyone else awake. As Tony poured his coffee, Steve rushed into the kitchen area. He was wearing sweats pants and a white T-shirt, so he must have been on his morning run. Tony had forgotten about that. But Steve seemed a little more distressed than usual.

"Hey, is there any first aid stuff around here?". Steve asked this with a frazzled look on his face.
"Second drawer on the right side of the island." Tony said slightly worried. "Why, what happened?".

The blonde held up his left hand to show a pretty deep wound across it, but he spoke about it like it wasn't that big a deal.
"While I was on my run, I ran into this stray dog and it just came out of nowhere and bit me.".

Tony raised an eyebrow at Steve.
"That's...weird." he said normally. He didn't worry much about it since it was Steve. Sure, the wound was pretty deep, but because of the Super Soldier serum it would heal up completely in a day or two. But a smirk crossed his face as he spoke again.
"Does the Captain want me to kiss it and make it better?" Tony teased, as if talking to a baby.

Steve rolled his eyes with slight irritation.
"No. It'll be fine, thanks." the blonde spoke spitefully.

Tony just shrugged and turned back to his coffee.
He still had a smug grin on his face.
"Suit yourself Cap. But you might wanna go see Banner still. Make sure you didn't get rabies from it or something.".

"I think I'll be fine. Just give it a day or two.". Steve grabbed the first aid kit and patted Tony on the shoulder semi-reassuringly before leaving the kitchen.

A couple days passed. Tony didn't believe Steve was "fine".

----

Two days after Steve was bit, Tony noticed him acting different. When they were sparring, Steve kept getting distracted by the smallest sounds and movements elsewhere. It took Tony fifteen minutes to get him to focus. Later that day, the soldier kept on bugging him to go on a walk with him. When he finally gave in and said "sure", Steve basically went sprinting. The man was way too excited.
The next day, Tony found Steve eating a steak. A steak he had marinating in the refrigerator. A steak that wasn't even cooked. He just ate it raw. Steve never did that. He was a medium-well kind of guy. Tony had an idea for the reason, but it was crazy. But considering he had a Demi-God and a man who can turn into a giant rage monster on his team, it seemed more and more plausible a reason. The brunette decided to further test his theory.

"Hey, uh Steve?" Tony spoke to the blonde, who turned his head to face Tony's as he finished the steak.
"Hey, Stark. What's up?".
Tony looked at Steve questioningly.
"Have you been feeling okay? I mean, for the past few days?".
Steve gave him a weird look.
"I've felt perfectly fine. Why? Is this about that dog thing?".

Tony acted nonchalant, and started to slightly circle Steve.
"Maybe... Are you sure? No notable physical changes? Emotional shifts?".
Steve rapidly shook his head.
"No. I mean, I have felt more energetic lately, but other than that nothing feels any-- Ooooh..."
Steve let out a content sigh. Tony was lightly rubbing and scratching behind his ears.

Tony raised an eyebrow at the soldier.
"Does that feel good?".
The soldier just sort of grunted.
"Don't talk, just keep doing that... It feels fantastic...".
Then he let out a small content growl. A growl.
Tony stopped scratching, leaving Steve to make a small whine. It has to be what Tony thought it was.
"Hey Steve?".
"What?" Steve soundly slightly irritated.
"Let's go for a little walk...".
