Hey guys, thank you ChangingTheCircumstances for reviewing and to Naomi Pictogram for favoring my story! Hope you guys like this chapter. I do not own the Avengers.
Tony's POV.
After explaining how the radio worked to Cap I chuckled and started driving around to some of the newer buildings in New York that he was still unfamiliar with. He had an amazed look on his face and I couldn't help but grin and that huge smile he had own his face, he seemed absolutely amazed at all the the new buildings but there were times when he would look at something and frown.
"What's wrong Cap?" I asked after he frowned for about the fifth time.
He shook his head seeming upset, "It's just that when I was here all these buildings were different and less...well modern I guess."
"You sound like an old man," I joked, which earned me a small smile and a slight blush, "You must have been very attached to these buildings," I teased again.
He just shrugged and kept staring out the window, then he sat up straight with a small smile, "This looks familiar," his smile slowly faded "I got beat up in that alley, and that parking lot, and behind that...well it used to be a diner."
I looked at him with an eyebrow raised both amused and concerned, "Did you have something against running away?"
He snapped his head up at me clearly surprised but he answered anyway "You start running, they'll never let you stop," his surprise turned to nostalgia "You stand up, you push back, they can't say no forever right?"
I smiled a little, still confused on his earlier reaction but I continued to drive, eventually he spoke up again, "Where are we going?"
I shrugged "I don't know, I just thought we'd drive around for a while but now...you hungry?"
He looked slightly relieved and nodded "Yeah!" He nodded and I smiled a little as I started driving towards that coffee shop, he looked around again "Where are we going now?"
"To the coffee shop," I didn't look at him when I answered ad to my relief he didn't say a thing the whole time, we finally made it and I unbuckled my seat "Come on Capsicle we're here."
He nodded and followed me out of the car, I looked over at an empty table but before I could start walking towards it Steve walked in the opposite direction towards a table with a perfect view of the Avengers tower. I raised an eyebrow as I followed him but didn't question him, it was almost like he came here often, Steve looked at me with a sheepish smile as I sat down across from him. Before I could comment though some waitress came by with a smile on her face, she had blond hair and she smiled at Steve then she handed him something which he gratefully took.
"You left this here last time," she handed him a sketchpad then she dug around in her pocket for something else "Here."
She handed him a bunch of colored pencils which he took but he looked confused, "I didn't have these with me last time."
"I know, they're a gift." She smiled again.
"Thanks," Steve looked at them and then returned her smile, they stared at each other for awhile until I coughed and Steve snapped back into reality "Oh right, um, the usual please?"
"Of course," she nodded not bothering to write it down then she turned to me with another smile but not like the one she gave Cap "What about you sir?"
I shrugged "Coffee? Black?"
She nodded and turned to Steve with a wink "You've got the big guy with you this time."
After she left I turned to Steve confused "The 'big guy'?"
"She means Iron Man," he glanced at the tower and started to open his sketchpad "I can't believe I forgot this last time, I also can't believe she gave me these."
I sat back in my chair watching as he started flipping to some sketch of the tower and he added more detail to it before adding some color to his sketch, I watched him as he worked to color it in taking time to make sure everything was perfect. I watched him as he bit his lip in concentration and every few seconds he would pause to just stare at the picture then at the building and then he would go back to drawing. I noticed how every time he put the pencil on the paper he was cautious and careful trying to get every little detail right, he would frown sometimes and other times he would smile proudly at himself, he never seemed to make a mistake. Finally he put the pencil down and studied the picture with a look of concentration, he raised the picture as if to study it against the actual building and once he was satisfied and knew everything was fine he lowered it back onto the table.
"Can I see it?" I leaned over the table to try and look at it but his hand was covering most of it.
He bit his lip hesitating before finally lifting his hand and letting me see. It was a small but detailed picture drawn in the corner of the paper, I looked at building behind me and studied it before looking back at the drawing everything seemed right to me. The only difference was that Steve had written STARK on his picture where as the building in real life only had the A but I assumed that he had been drawing this before the battle of New York. I noticed that he was looking at me probably waiting for my reaction so I looked up at him and grinned he sighed in relief and I reached over to mess up his hair.
"It's great kid...old man...Captain," I chuckled as he flushed "You're either 31 or 97, to me 31 is still a kid and 97 is and old man."
"31 is only 14 years younger then you, and I don't think it's considered a kid." He looked down at his picture before reaching out to take the mug that was by his side.
I shrugged as I grabbed my own coffee not realizing until now that it had come to our table, the smiling blond had probably dropped it off not wanting to interrupt Steve while he was working and obviously she wasn't intrested in me. It annoyed me how she smiled and laughed around Steve she seemed so nice to him and she gave him a look that clearly said 'I want you' and it reallu bugged me but it really shouldn't. Steve didn't seem to notice the look or the smiling he was so ignorant of the flirting, which is why he seems like a kid to me at times but other times when he's in battle he's so stoic and fearless, I can never see him as a kid when he's like that.
The waitress came back with a bill, which she put in the middle of the table not sure of who to give it to bu before she left she handed Steve a piece of paper with a phone number and gave that smile again, "Call me sometime we can go do something, go to a move, get lunch, dinner...coffee."
Normally Steve would have just smiled and politely tell the girl that he wasn't interested dating but if he changed his mind he would call but of course this time was different, he smiled and nodded, "Yeah that'd be nice, you free saturday?" when she nodded he smiled "I'll give you a call later and we can arrange everything then."
She left wih a grin and my jaw almost hit the ground but when Steve reached for the bill I composed myself and immediately smacked his hand away. He stopped his hand and gave me a look before trying to reach his hand out again, I frowned and put it high above my hand he reached for it but I made sure he didn't get it. Finally he crossed his arms and huffed in annoyance, "Stark!"
"Rogers!" I mocked and rolled my eyes "Who's the billionaire here?" he didn't answer and I smirked "Exactly."
"Come on I know the only reason you came here is so that I could see that waitress, that's why I agreed to a date, because you and Natasha-"
"Wait a minute! Natasha and I?" I looked at him and he seemed confused "Cap Natasha's been the one pushing you to date I...I don't care if you do, if you want to go ahead if you don't you don't have to."
He tilted his head confused "Then why did you bring me hear if you clearly didn't want to come, did Natasha make you?" when I didn't answer he nodded "I'm going on a date because of Natasha, typical...give me the bill."
I shook my head "You're still not paying," he frowned when I put way more money the neccassary on the table "Now come on we're going back to the tower."
He frowned again but nodded as I lead him back to the car and we drove back to the tower in silence. I knew my day would be ruined.
Hope you guys liked that chapter, next one will probably be a little late but I'll try to update soon. I will update Jealousy soon but I am having a little trouble trying to figure out what to do next. Thanks for reading and please review! :)
