Chapter 1

Tony Stark.

Steve loved him. He was in love. He knew Tony thought himself to be a bad person, but Steve knew better. He had always been good at reading people. He knew that Tony was a great man, who had been through a lot.

Steve was also envious of Tony. He was jealous of Tony's easygoing nature. Steve was a solemn soldier and incredibly shy. He wasn't used to the 21st century yet. Tony had been so helpful to him. He taught Steve the basics of computers, the Internet, and cell phones. He was remarkably patient with Steve, never getting frustrated or losing faith in him.

Steve had noticed a change in Tony over the last few months. He was avoiding Steve, making up excuses when Steve tried to talk to him. Steve was starting to get worried and a little hurt. What had he done to this arrogant, loudmouthed man that he loved? Tonight he was planning to corner him in his lab. He had to find out what was wrong. He couldn't bear the though of Tony hating him. He just couldn't.

But there had also been some good changes. Tony had broken up with Pepper. She was very kind, but not right for him. Tony had also quit drinking. That was a huge relief to Steve. Tony's drinking had worried him. Now he was sober. Steve decided he needed to find Tony and talk to him. Now.
