Tony sat down on their bed, looking up to Steve with a smirk. "So what's this going to be about, Capsicle? Cause I'm having a slight problem I think we can both work out together." Tony suggested, running his eyes up and down his boyfriend's body. Steve, oblivious to what Tony said, paced back and forth before going to stand in front of Tony. "Ok here is the thing... and it's been bothering me for a while now." he trailed off and rubbed the back of his head. Tony smiled and placed his hand on Steve's thigh, slowly creeping to sneak a grab at the captains ass. Steve noticed that though and pushed his hands away. "Tony I'm serious!" Steve snapped. Tony groaned, rolled his eyes and fell back into the bed. "Prude." He stated. Steve got angry. "Am not! I'm trying to be serious and all you're thinking about is sex! Can you ever be serious for just one damn minute! God you're so childish all the time! I'm trying to get my question across and a reasonable answer and you don't even care about what I have to say! And I'm starting to believe you could really give less of a fuck about what I ever have to say!" He cried, eyes closed, teeth gritted and hands clenched. When his speech left his mouth, he opened his eyes with small tears hanging on the tips of his eyelashes. He unclenched his hands and looked up to Tony, blinking the wetness away.
Blank.
Fucking blank.
Tony was as blank as stone and it pissed Steve off. But he couldn't let it show. With difficulty, he masked his anger and just looked back at Tony. He inwardly sighed and shakily asked. "D-d-do... Y-you even l-l-love Anna?" Steve dropped to his knees and rotated himself, falling against the bed, right next to Tony's legs. He felt hands run through his hair and and lips pressing a kiss to the top of his head. "Of course I do." Tony answered, his voice low and reassuring. "Then why do you avoid her like a disease?" Steve looked up to Tony and glanced into the deep pools of chocolate. He saw Tony lower them and gave a nervous breath. "Well. I'm only gonna Say this once so you better hear it! I won't repeat it twice!" Tony stated. Steve nodded and took Tony's hand in his, rubbing his thumb on his dirty skin. "Truth is... I... I... I'm scared, Steve." Tony whispered.
Steve couldn't help but laugh.
Tony glared at him and ripped his hand away. "I'm sorry but... Why are you scared?" Steve asked, suppressing his chuckles. Tony shook his head and turned his back. "Haha no. You laughed you're not getting anything!" He snapped, laying down on the bed. Steve got up from the floor and crawled on the bed to sit next to his boyfriend. He placed his hand on Tony's cheek and brushed his thumb over the skin. "I'm sorry babe. Just tell me and I promise I wont laugh." Steve assured. They stared into each others eyes for what seemed like an eternity, until Tony let out a sigh. He closed his eyes for a second before looking back to Steve. "I... I... I'm scared that I'll... I'll be just like my father, if not worse."
Tony glanced down with a small downward turn of his lips. He wanted to look anywhere other than the man beside him. He felt the soft hand cup his cheek and he closed his eyes, biting his lower lip. "Tony. Look at me." his voice was soft and sweet, with gentleness being a wave coming from his mouth, washing over Tony. The genius hesitantly opened his eyes and met with the cool blue ones staring back softly. A smile on his lips. "Why would you ever think that?" Steve asked, resting his forehead against Tony's. "I don't know really. For the first time I don't really know. Maybe I thought that i would develop some hatred for the thought of children. I ran away from relationships for the fact that I am utterly terrible at commitment. Maybe I ran away from the thought of having a child too. Thinking that I would ruin that child's life, have it hate me with all its heart. I don't know really." Tony answered. "Well I don't think that would happen. Tony, despite what the rumors say and what you think, you do actually have a heart. And I'm sure just because one little child will come along, that big heart of yours will shrivel away and make you do bad things toward the child's life. And last time I checked, wasn't Howard always knee deep in alcohol? Never a sober man?" Steve said. Tony nodded. "And maybe that was the reason why he was distant. The influence clouded him and caused him to be the man you were so used to. But I am so sure that you won't ever become that sort of man." Steve assured. Tony looked up to him. "You think so?" he inquired. Steve nodded and smiled. "I know so." He leaned in to kiss Tony. As they broke apart, the baby monitor crackled to life and Anna's scream. Steve sighed and made to get up. He was stopped by Tony's hand. "No. You rest Steve. You need it. I'll take care of Anna, OK?" Tony said, getting up and heading to the door. "You sure?" Steve asked, leaning back into the bed. Tony stopped, hand o the knob and cocked his head to the side. The smile was so clear on his voice.
"I know so."
Sorry for the shortness of the chapter and stuff. I'm going to try and update a lot quicker but still keeping the story good (If I can even do that with being tired all the time) I'll be quite slower in Chapter 7 though because I have a English Assignment I have to finish and that is gonna take a while. So yeah. I hope you enjoyed the story so far and I'll see you around Chapter 7! Sky: Over and out!
