Dinner is a tense, uncomfortable affair for Sam. He goes to the bathroom to clean himself up. Feels shamed by Tony's stony silence during the entire ride even though they both know what life is like for omegas, and how contested courtship work.

They argue over food, too. Sam doesn't get snappy or furious like he did with Bucky. He goes still and calm in anger.

Tony forgives him. How very kind. Shows his forgiveness by dragging Sam into the alley next to the restaurant to fuck him. Doesn't knot him but insists on filling Sam not once but three times, even though Sam asks him not to. Because Sam is tired, isn't aroused beyond his cock coming up to play and painting the wall, once. Sam is also hungry because the restaurant was ridiculous and the whole evening has soured his appetite.

Tony doesn't let him clean up. Doesn't drive him home either. Just calls him a cab, kisses him. Says he's not mad anymore now and will continue the courtship as planned. Puts Sam in the cab and then drives himself home in his sports car.

The cab driver says Sam can pay him in a different way. Sam doesn't give him his adress, just let's him drive to a corner one block away from Sam's place and practically throws money at him just to get out as fast as he can. Probably overpaid, but doesn't care. Just makes sure he watches the cab drive off before he even thinks about moving towards his home. His mood, as a result, is lower than it's been in days.
