Secret Relations
Prologue
Tony watched the door to Steve's crappy upstate apartment with a heavy heart. After all those things he had said about Steve, he didn't know how he had the courage to do this. This little cheesy, stupid way of declaring his secret little crush, as if slapping Steve's ass or smelling Steve's strong, masculine yet feminine, scent when they had hugged wasn't a red flag. Funny thing was, Tony had an open chance to apologize when Steve practically begged for forgiveness a few weeks ago. Back to the scene on hand, Tony took a deep breath before walking up to Steve's door and knocking. Tony heard Steve fumbling around, being his not so graceful self. The man in the apartment was not Captain America, but Steve Rogers. Tony watched the doorknob turn as Steve opened the door.
"Hey, Tony! Come in! Sorry, it's a mess, I was baking." Steve said, a soft, shy smile on his face, one that was usually hidden by the man's soldier like attitude.
Tony walked in and shut the door behind him. Steve's apartment was immaculate, as usual. Tony usually called bullshit when Steve said his quarters were messy. Tony remembered he had to make this kind of quick since the rest of the Avengers would be at the tower, and because he'd lied and said he was coming to pick Steve up.
"So, Tony. What's going on?" Steve asked.
"I- Steve, sit." Tony said.
Steve took a seat on the couch and looked up at Tony, his blue eyes wide with confusion and question. Tony quickly pulled out his phone and put on a song.
"I've tried playing it cool, but when I'm looking at you, I can't ever be brave, cause you make my heart race, shot me out of the sky, you're my kryptonite, you keep making me weak, frozen and can't breathe-" Tony sang, enjoying the blush that stained Steve's cheeks.
"Something's got to give now, cause I'm dying just to make you see, that I need you here with me now, cause you've got that one thing." Tony sang, pulling Steve to his feet and pushing him against a wall.
"T-Tony, what are you-" Steve whimpered, and god, did that turn Tony on.
"Steve, I have feelings for you. I want you, scratch that, need you." Tony said, slowly pressing his lips to Steve's.
Tony felt that moment of electricity as he kissed Steve. Steve's lips were slightly chapped, but still soft and plump, and they tasted like cherry Chapstick™. Steve started to kiss back and gently put his hands on Tony's chest. Steve slowly let his tongue mingle with Tony's. Tony groaned.
"Oh my God, Steve. Your mouth should be illegal. It's a goddamn weapon." Tony said.
Steve blushed. He was having trouble wrapping his mind around this. He didn't understand what someone as amazing as Tony saw in him. Steve could feel Tony's hands wander to his backside and Steve pushed Tony gently. He couldn't let Tony feel him and ruin this moment.
"Tony, I-I have feelings for you, too. But I don't understand. Is this okay now? Am I okay to like this? Fury-" Steve said, not looking Tony in the eye.
"Fuck Fury, Steve. It's okay for people to be gay now. It never wasn't okay. You can like it." Tony said.
"Tony, does this make us an, uh, item?"
"A what? Do you mean a couple? Only if you want, Steve."
"Oh, I want. I want it very badly."
"Well, I guess I'll do this the official way. Steven Rogers, will you go steady with me?"
"I would like that very much, Tony."
Tony smiled and released Steve. Tony felt awful for even having to tell Steve what he was thinking. Steve's first real relationship shouldn't have to be like this.
"Steve, our relationship will have to be secret. People can't know. Not until I find a way to make it public without hurting people." Tony said.
"Oh. Okay, Tony. I understand." Steve said, sounding a little hurt.
"Steve, I'm not trying to say I don't want people to know we're dating. Actually, I would like to tell every tabloid and newspaper so everyone knows your mine. And if you're worried about S.H.I.E.L.D. or the team, if they don't like it, they can suck it."
Steve giggled. He looked at Tony and kissed his cheek. He walked out of the room and into the bathroom to shower. Tony suddenly remembered that he was supposed to take Steve to the tower. He knocked on the bathroom door.
"Don't worry, Tony. Pepper called and said you were rounding up the Avengers for a get together." Steve called through the door.
Tony smiled. He always wins the prize.
A/N: The song Tony serenaded Steve with was One Thing by One Direction. I know, it's lots of feels, but I see Tony and Steve as feels people. Please R & R! My turtles are hungry!
