It started off as an ordinary day. Natasha and Clint were on a mission for Fury, Bruce was in the lab working away, Tony was probably in the lab drinking, and Steve was sitting on the balcony drawing the landscapes before him. Everything was normal until something stange happened. Steve was on his way to the gym, but when he got there, it was already occupied.
Before Steve, was a very sobber Tony punching and kicking the punching bag with tears pouring out of his eyes. Steve could hear him saying 'he wasn't good enough and that no one would every love him'. He was shocked. Why would Tony every think that? Didn't he know how Steve felt about him?
This continued to happen for another 5 minutes. Steve's heart kept breaking at the sight of Tony so fragile. An idea popped into Steve's head! He sprinted toward the elevator and quickly went to his room to change into something that could get stuff on it. Once he was done prepping, Steve asked JARVIS a question.
"Can you send Tony to the kitchen? I need help with something and no one else is here..."
"Yes Mr. Rogers. I'll send master Stark as soon as possible."
With that in mind, Steve searched for all the ingredients they needed. As soon as he found all of them, Tony came in fresh and newly shaven.
" What can I do for you Cap?"
"Cup- cupcakes..." Steve stuttered as Tony came in contact with him. Peering around Steve, Tony's body had brushed against his. A puzzled look on Tony face indicated that he was confused. Why did Steve want Tony to help?
"Cupcakes?"
"Cupcakes."
"Why?"
"Tony, a cupcake disaster is what you need."
And with that, Tony didn't argue again. Instead him and Steve continued to make cupcakes. Once they put the batter into the oven to bake, they had time to kill. That's when the disaster hit. Steve was looking down when out of the blue came a puff or white smoke covering his face and shirt. As he looked up he was pelted by eggs. That's when he sprung into action. Steve picked up the mix and started flinging blobs of gooey chocolate mix everywhere on Tony. Soon they were covered head to toe in who-knows-what. Tony turned his head to the side and felt a breath on his neck.
Slowly, Tony backed up. Soon he was against the counter and Steve right in front of him. Quickly, Tony felt the presents of a pair of moist lips on his. He tasted the sweet sugar and chocolate mix on Steve's lips mixed with icing and chocolate chips on Tony's. Tony swore he heard a moan escape Steve's lips, but it only lasted a brief moment. Steve pushed away from Tony. Both of them were out of breath. Steve looked everywhere but at Tony.
" I'm so sorry Tony! That was stupid of me. It didn't mean anything, I mean your my friend. We could never be anything more. I'm- I'm so very sorry Tony. Please don't hate me."
And with that, Steve bolted out of the kitchen and ran into a very confused Bruce. He muttered an apologized while still staggered away. Steve ran out of the tower and ran to his safe place. Only one other person knew this spot.
Back at the Tower Bruce sat in the kitchen. Looking at the mess before him. Something was wrong. Very, very wrong. Why did Steve run out of here? Why is Tony so quite?
" Tony, what happened between you and Steve?"
"Exactly what he said would happen."
" Which was-"
" A cupcake disaster."
