"Good evening, Barton," Loki said as Clint walked into the room. Clint looked over at where the god was sitting on the counter. A smile appeared on his face.

"You're the mischief god, aren't you?" He asked.

Loki nodded.

"And today is April Fool's? The day of mischief?" He said.

Another nod.

"Want to help me with a little project?" Clint smirked. A devilish grin spread across the prankster's face.

Steve slumped against the wall as he waited for the elevator. It had been too long of a day. His eyes shut just as the elevator dinged open. He shuffled in and barely noticed Tony, who was looking at a table and muttering to himself.

"Hey, Cap," Tony said, finally looking up. "You look awful."

"Thanks, Stark," Steve mumbled. "You sure know what to say to make a guy feel special."

"I mean, you look tired. Have you been getting enough sleep?"

"A full five hours each night," Steve answered.

"Five?" Tony repeated. "Don't you lesser humans need set least eight?"

"I'll sleep eight hours if you sleep every night," Steve said. Tony rolled his eyes.

"Sleep is for the weak," he snorted. No sooner had he said that than the elevator stopped.

"What the..." Steve began. Then the lights cut out. Tony shrieked and the next thing Steve knew, two arms were clamped around his waist and a face buried in his neck. "You ok, Stark?"

Tony didn't say anything. Steve didn't think he was going to get an answer. He just wrapped his arms around Tony and allowed the man to hold him. 

"I don't like the dark," Tony finally whimpered. "Bad things happen in the dark."

Steve's heart clenched. He has a never heard the wavering tone from Tony before. He tightened his grip.

"Nothing bad is going to happen to you," Steve whispered. "Not while I'm around."

Tony nodded against his chest.

"Why don't you tell me about what you're working on?" Steve asked. He felt Tiny relax as he began an explanation of something. He finally let go of Steve.

"Let me show you," he said, pulling up blueprints on his tablet. Steve listened intently and studied the image.

*♡*

"Well, this took a turn into Snooze Ville," Clint sighed from where he and Loki were watching their plan unfold.

"Why don't we try something a little more dire?" Loki suggested. Clint thought for a second.

"It could work," he grinned. "JARVIS?"
"On it, sir," the AI answered.

*♡*

Tony couldn't stop talking. It felt physically impossible. Suddenly, the elevator jerked and he was thrown into the wall. Steve crashed into him and the air was knocked from his lungs. Red emergency lights flashed on and off and the elevator gave a jerk again. This time they fell over, Tony on Steve. Steve's arms wrapped around Tony reflexively.

"Sorry, Cap," Tony muttered.

"It's fine," Steve told him. "I've been through worse."

Tony's breath caught as the red lights revealed how close their face were. Their lips were centimeters away. Tony was glad that Steve couldn't tell he was blushing.

*♡*

"At this rate, we're though to have to kill them too get them to open their eyes," Clint sighed. He banged his head on the table.

"Hm, maybe we should try a different tactic," Loki mused.

"Might I suggest something?" JARVIS asked.
"We're all ears," Clint stated.

*♡*

"At least it isn't dark anymore," Steve commented. Tony grunted in reply. He frowned and glanced at the walls. "Are... Are the walls moving?"

"Don't tell me you're claustrophobic," Tony frowned. His eyes widened when he felt the wall push him. His got to his feet and pushed back. He looked at Steve to see him doing the same thing. Within moments, though, they were pressed against each other. Tony began squirming and Steve sighed, closing his eyes.

"Please stop moving, Tony," he muttered.

"Are you o... Oh," Tony mumbled, feeling something press into his thigh. He looked at Steve, who was trying hard not to look at him.

"This... This is awkward," he muttered. "Sorry."

"No. No, it's fine," Toy assured him. "Actually, I... You see... Oh, fuck it."

He wriggled and finally got one arm free.

"Stark, what a..." Steve was cut off as Tony grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him into a kiss. Steve moaned into the kissed and Tony wiggled his leg between Steve's.

*♡*

"Mission accomplished," Clint smirked. "Up top."

Loki chuckled as he high fived Clint.

"It was quite an accomplishment."

"Thanks, JARVIS," Clint called.

"My pleasure, sir. It was time that Master Stark and Captain Rogers acted on their feelings."
