A/N: So. New one. Steve/Tony story. What else to say? I have no idea what I'll do here besides attempt at a romance.
No beta, feel free to apply.
Tony Stark was a complicated man. You could say complex. But Tony of himself would say he's quite simple. Give him a room to work in and gadgets to work on and he's happy. That is in how happy you can be. Tony didn't believe in being happy. It was all just propaganda to sell stuff to people. People were naive like that. Or just prone to lying. Steve was in the naive group. Tony valued more the lying ones, they at least knew the truth. And the truth was that they all were alone in the cold universe. He was in space. He should know. But people like Steve stubbornly believed in made up stories like God and America. Tony was the first to defend both the Earth and America but that was just because he lived on this side, if he was born Chitauri he would attack the hell out of Earth. Earth would lose in that case so it was best this way.
But Steve believed in right an wrong besides the fact of the side you were born on. That irritated Tony. What irritated him the most was the fact that Steve got him to follow his lead to act like a hero. But he couldn't help himself. Steve would look at him sternly with all his disapproval and Tony would step up and do the right thing. It was irritating as hell.
