Hello again! This is my first multi-chaptered story so be gentle with me. I did this with my new *official* rp partner Christina who is bunnehxx on tumblr. Omg I love her 3 Anyways-this follows the path of Tony and Steve's relationship starting here with their first date. It's a bit awkward because they both aren't really sure how this is going to work out, but it's cute and fluffy. Special thanks to my *other* Steve-Lexie (captainsassmerica). She read this over and did some hand-holding for me to post it and gave me her opinion which is much appreciated. As always, credit to me for Tony but Christina wrote Steve. Alright I'll stop now. I reallyreallyreally hope you like it :) Disclaimer: Image isn't mine I found it on tumblr not sure who drew it I'm sorry but I'm happy to give credit where credit is due.

Chapter 1: First Date

Steve smiled up gently at the man who was sitting across from him, he couldn't believe that he was on a date with Tony Stark. He nervously ran his fingers through his hair and looked back up at the playboy sitting across from him. "So..." he said not making eye contact. "Tell me about yourself." Steve knew a lot about the man but he wanted to hear it from Tony instead of a S.H.I.E.L.D document.

Tony smiled to himself, seeing the nerves roll off Steve. It's not that he wanted to make the man nervous, he just found it oddly endearing to see how important this was to his friend-maybe boyfriend by the end of the night. He stared at the soldier across the table, studying him. He was surprised by the question, Steve knew lots of things about him-at least the things everyone knew. "Um. I run Stark Industries?" He tried for humor, hoping to ease the soldiers nerves.

"Really?!" Steve asked trying to put on a shocked face, but failing miserably as he smiled. "I did not know that" he said leaning back in his chair. "Well..besides the obvious...what do you like to do for fun?" he said staring up at the dark-haired man. "Do you do anything else besides stay in that lab and work on gizmos and gadgets?" Steve highly doubted that the other man liked to do anything else besides that.

"For-fun?" Tony asked, tasting the word in his mouth. "I, uh I don't know. Lots of stuff." He went for vague answers. He hadn't done 'fun' things since his mother had passed away, it hurt too much, they all reminded him of her. Tony looked up to the blonde to see if he bought it.

Steve nodded and licked his top lip and looked down. "Right" he said, thinking that the man didn't really want to talk to him much, Steve just stared down in silence at the table tracing his fingers in little circular motions. He let out a sigh, wondering if this date was a mistake...he had never been on a date without Bucky there helping him along, Bucky always knew what to say and what to do. Steve cursed himself and shook away the memory of his long lost best friend. He then looked back up at Stark and smiled gently hoping the other man knew what to talk about.

"So-what are you going to get?" Tony asked, not liking the awkwardness between them. The team had insisted that they go out one time because it was so obvious how they felt for each other. This wasn't working out the way Tony had thought it would though. It's not that he didn't trust Steve, he just wasn't ready to talk about those things with him. Not yet. "Look. I want you to know that I trust you with stuff and I'm not going to try and hide things from you but I don't trust people very easily so please bear with me I am trying here I just...ugh I'm sorry I suck at this kind of stuff." Tony let out in a long jumble of words, immediately covering his mouth when he realized what had just come out.

Steve stared at the other man and his mouth opened slightly in an almost surprised expression. "Tony...listen it's alright" he said gently looking up at the other man. "I...understand, I really do" he said nodding. He sat up in his chair and leaned forward, picking up a menu and looking up at the other man. "I wonder if they have hamburgers here" he said trying to change the subject so Tony wouldn't be so flustered about what he just said.

"They've got EVERYTHING here" Tony said, smiling at the change. "Seriously, anything you want-they've got it. And it's SO GOOD." He looked over at Steve's beaming face, knowing the man would love the more laid back diner atmosphere than that of the fancy italian place he used to take Pepper to. Maybe this date wouldn't turn out so bad after all.

Steve smiled up at Tony and chuckled softly "Thank goodness, I have been craving a burger for a long time." He gazed up and relaxed when he saw the other man smiling. Steve's heart raced as Tony looked at him, Steve could picture him pushing Tony into that seat and kissing him...running his hands through that hair. Steve's thoughts were quickly interrupted when a waitress asked for his order, his cheeks flushed a light pink as he told her that he wanted a Hamburger with a cola pop at the side. He looked to his side hoping Tony didn't notice the blush.

Tony ordered the same for himself and they chattered about nonsense while they ate, laughing in all the right places. When they were finished and ready to leave, Tony stood and stretched, then reached for Steve's hand, looking up for permission before taking it into his own. He walked the blonde to his car, even holding the door for him. If there was one thing he wasn't going to fuck up, it was this relationship. He pulled up in front of Steve's SHIELD issued apartment, biting back another comment on how Steve should just come live in the tower with everyone else in the Avengers. He stopped the car and sat for a moment, contemplating what he should do next.

Steve couldn't keep the smile off of his face the whole ride home, his cheeks were starting to hurt from it. His heart fluttered as Tony and himself sat in the car together, looking over out of the corner of his eye at Tony. His heart beat started to speed as he opened his mouth, struggling to ask the question he had on his mind. "Tony, are you going to walk me to my door?" he asked, blushing a deep red.

Tony flushed, but tried to hide it with a chaste "Of course" before getting out of the car and running to Steve's side, opening the door and walking with him hand in hand. He turned to Steve when he got the the door of his apartment. "What now?" he asked, his eyes curious as to how far Steve was willing to go on this first date.

"Back in my time," Steve looked nervous as he said this "You would lean in and give the dame a kiss on the lips" he said rushing the words and keeping his face down to hide from the blush. "I don't really know if that's what you do in this time or anything..." he said rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

Tony looked down, not meeting Steve's eyes. "I just don't want to move to fast or...I don't know. Freak you out. This is important-you are important to me. I don't want to fuck this up."

Steve contemplated before answering "Tony, I have been frozen for 70 years in a block of ice...it will take a lot to freak me out" he said gently looking up at Tony. He raised his hand and gently caressed under Tony's chin, leaning forward half way to Tony's lips. He recited what Bucky would tell him 'You move half way Steve and the girl moves the other half, don't move all the way or you will scare her.' Steve closed his eyes waiting and praying silently Tony moved the other half.

Tony knew this dance well. But this time, it wasn't a hooker or lingerie model, this was Steve. Captain fucking America. He had to do this right. He looked straight into Steve's bright blue eyes before closing the distance, kissing him softly.

Steve smiled at the kiss, it wasn't like kissing Peggy or that blonde girl who attacked him and made Peggy fire a gun at him. Kissing Tony was much different and he loved the feel of another man's lips against his. Steve pulled away from Tony's lips and smiled, the pink blush on his cheeks making his blue eyes sparkle even more. He tried to say something, but his lips just moved silently and he stared at Tony with a love-struck stare.

Tony leaned forward and nuzzled into the taller man's neck, loving the feeling of all of this. "Good?" he asked quietly, smiling like an idiot.

Steve smirked and wrapped his arms around Tony's smaller body and brought him close in a tight hug. "Perfect." he answered truthfully. "Thank you for the dinner Tony...I really enjoyed it" he said releasing the smaller man and smiling down at him. He took the keys out of his pocket and opened his door. "When will I see you again?" he asked, turning to the billionaire.

Tony looked down, not wanting to come off as needy. "Whenever, you know where to find me"

Steve nodded "Yeah...I'll see you around then" Steve walked into his house closing the door behind him. He peeked out his window and then leaned against his door and slid down with a happy sigh, he biting his bottom lip and smiling. 'I think I am in love' he thought to himself when he heard Bucky's voice appear in his head from a memory. 'No matter what you think Steve, after your first kiss, you are NOT in love. You just feel that way, don't let her know that you feel this way either, just keep it to yourself.' Steve shook his head, there was no way Bucky could be right about this one.

Tony got back in the car and just stared at the road for a minute, before smiling so big it hurts his face. The date had been perfect, everything he had wanted. Now-he just had to figure out how to have more of them.
