Since I am so working on a story happening after the ice, I thought it was alright to mention the later already :D

This was another prompt from Waytopretty, seeing Tony as a wingman, hope you like genius :)


„Seriously!" Tony stated gesticulating unnecessarily with his hands. "It's been one year since you are back in the game and let me tell you there are a lot women who can, should and/or will be very happy you are. You just have to…! You know!... actually talking to the tender gender would be helping."

Steve sighed. How often did they have this conversation? "Tony, I already told you I am perfectly capable to…to talk to a dame if I'-"

"A dame, here it goes. So much time has past, Uncle Steve, they are not called dames anymore. They are called, women, girls, chicks, potential partner,..."

"You know, I really prefer dame..."

"Oh whatever." Tony slung his arm over his Uncle's shoulder, surveying the bar's occupants. "Let's pick one!"

Steve sighed and looked around. How comes that Tony was always the one who made him meet a woman? It was a habit that started when he was but a year old. Francine had been a great gal.

XOXOXOX

"He's the cutest, isn't he?" Tony's nanny, Francine stated. She and Steve were looking down at the sleeping boy in his crib, all four stretched out and sucking contently on his dummy. Finally.

"Yeah he is." Steve smiled fondly down at Tony and tucked the blanket up to the child's shoulders.

The two adults haven known each other long, she only recently became Tony's nanny, but two hours of trying to get a crying, teething, suffering little boy to sleep, really bonds and they became comfortable around each other pretty soon. They got to talk a lot and to know each other.

Before Steve left for home, he asked her out. Their relationship lasted 5 month.

XOXOXOX

"Up?"

"Nope."

"Up?"

"No Tony, not yet."

They were playing this game for what felt like hours. Steve was leading Tony through the park to the playground and while they are at it, Steve thought they could practice Tony's walking skill as well. He was still walking a bit clumsy, not really worrying for a kid his age, but Tony was usually quick learner, and Steve was convinced he would be much better if he wouldn't just drop down every second because he was to lazy. Or everyone stopped to pick him up just because Tony asked with big, pleading eyes. He was not proud to admit that he was usually one of the first to cave in. But not today. No matter how often Tony asked, he could manage the short walk up to the playground.

"Up?"

Tony didn't even look tired! Probably just bored with walking."No."

"Up?"

"No."

"Up?"

"No Tony."

"Up?

Oh my god, maybe he should jus-

"Excuse me!"

Steve stopped and turned his head to see a woman with long blond hair and and a dog on a leash running towards them.

She stopped in front of Steve, panting a little. "I think you guys lost this." she held her hand out. In it was Tony's pacifier. Usually, the owner was the first to grab on to every dummy being offered to him, but this time he was otherwise occupied.

The Golden retriever belonging to the dame immediately set on to get to know the kid and sniffed up Tony's jacket. The time the boy turned more frantically to his godfather, obviously frightened. "Up up up up!" he tugged on Steve's shirt.

Steve smiled and conceded that this was a different matter, so he picked the boy up, who latched onto him tightly and looked down distrustful at the animal, but no longer that scared.

"Hey buddy, it's ok, no need to be afraid."

"Oh, no sweetheart," the woman smiled gently, "Mel here wouldn't hurt you, he just wants you to pet him." she leaned down to do so herself, wanting to proof that the dog was harmless.

"Pet?" Tony eyed the dog still, cautiously.

"Yes, he's a huge snuggle-bug." she reassured quickly.

"What do you say? Want to pet... What was his name?" Steve asked the female.

"Mel. His name is Mel." she smiled beautifully at Steve, who couldn't help but smile back.

"Want to pet Mel?" he nudged Tony. After a moment of hesitation, Tony nodded slowly, but didn't relinquish his grip around his godfather's neck.

Steve crouched down. "Hold out your hand so he can sniff."

Slowly, Tony did and watched the snout going over his palm curiously. He only relaxed when Mel run his tongue over his hand. The adults laughed when Tony giggled at the dog, who prods with his nose again against Tony jacket.

Soon, child and dog run around happily while Steve and the lady, Cheyenne, watched from a bench.

They were together for three and a half month.

XOXOXOX

With five, Tony made short work of him and Peggy.

She had been over visiting while Tony was there as well, both sitting on the couch while Steve changed his clothes. They wanted to go grab something to eat.

"Hey, Peggy?" Tony asked, swinging his feet lightly.

"Why aren't you and Uncle Steve married like Mom and Dad?"

Peggy blinked, "Uhm, it's..ah...we are just friends, Tony."

"So?"

"There is more to it then just being friends." she tried to explain, feverishly hoping that Steve would be ready soon.

"Like what?"

"Well," she rubbed her forehead, considering what to say, "You, you have to like each other very much. And then you go on a date an-"

"What is a date?"

"oh, well, you go out. See a movie, or have dinner. Something like that."

Tony nodded thoughtfully. Peggy sighed in relief, hoping this topic was over. Of course it wasn't.

"Uncle Steve likes you." Tony stated seriously.

"Of course. We are frie-"

"Do you like him?" oh god, how was she to answer that?

"Sure I do, but-"

Steve took that moment to announce his readiness and Tony immediately turned to him.

"Uncle Steve, Peggy likes you too! We can go eat now and that will be your date and then you can marry!" Tony smiled brightly like he just found a solution to all the worlds problems, ignoring the furious blush of the adults.

Later, Steve and Peggy had talked. She had been his longest relationship. Three years, two month and eight days.

XOXOXOX

With twelve, when Steve had picked him up from school, Tony had dragged him to his teacher, Ms Lambert. Introducing Steve as his friendly, single, godfather Uncle Steve. At that time nothing came of it and both of them very slightly embarrassed. But a year later at one of Tony's school project, they had talked some more.

They had been a pair for a year and a half.

XOXOXOX

Having a relationship obviously wasn't easy while being Captain America, away more often then not.

Steve landed in the ice before Tony could make another attempt of hooking him up.

Now though, his godson seemed right back in the game as he scanned the room. This was embarrassing. He was well capable of finding someone alone to the right time, he didn't need Tony to-

Before Steve really noticed, Tony had dragged him over to the counter.

"There is this technique that works without fail, I'm telling you." Tony smiled at him "I'll see you at home then, but not to soon, alright?"

"W-what?" really confused now, the soldier could only watch as his devil of a godson turned and tapped a woman Steve hadn't even noticed before on the shoulder.

She turned around and Tony tuned his grin up some more. "Hi, have you met Steve?"

Steve felt himself go red as a tomato and on the blink of an eye, Tony vanished, leaving him with a woman he didn't know. She was admitteldy very attractive, but Steve would get Tony for this!

They were together for two month.


When I hear wingman, I think of this line firs, sorry :D
