Even years after coming out of the ice, Steve frequently has moments where he just can't seem to get warm. The Avengers decide to fix this by learning how to knit and making him nice warm soft things.
Steve doesn’t think much of them in the beginning.The random pair of knitted socks that appear in his living room. Clint knitsmore often than he expected, so he just chalked it up to Clint trying to be agood friend. Steve definitely appreciates it. In fact, he wears them to sleep.
This one is purple with white stripes. He makessure to stop by the shooting range to thank Clint.
The next item to appear is a big, soft dark greenscarf that seems to warm his entire torso…a day after he found the stripedsocks. There’s no way Clint could have knitted this scarf in a day. Right?
He finds Clint in the kitchen this time andbelieves Clint when he says he’s not going through some massive crisis of mind.Steve mulls over his next move before it hits him to ask JARVIS.
He stops by Natasha’s floor with flowers and wafflesfrom Clint’s favorite diner the next day…and comes back to a bright red and goldsweater waiting for him inside of a large Captain America paper bag on hiscoffee table.
Steve can’t stop the smile that settles on hisface.
“So, is everyoneknitting now?” Steve leans on Tony’s desk as the mechanic sketches on histablet.
Tony’s nose wrinkles in slight disgust. “God, no. Stitch knit that sweater for you.”
“And why did your robot knit a sweater for me?”
Tony sighs and looks up from his tablet. “Youthink we didn’t notice JARVIS turning up the heat in every room you walkedinto? This way, we didn’t have to suffer with you, Cap.”
Steve smiles. “Thanks, Tony.”
Color rushes to Tony’s cheek. Steve couldn’tresist kissing one cheek…and leaving Tony Stark behind with his mouth hangingopen.
