"I love you." As he left on a mission.
"I love you" as he went on a run.
"I love you" went he went to lunch.
"I love you every time he walked out the door. Steve said I love you every time he left Tony in place of a goodbye.
While Tony had nothing against it, enjoyed it really, it was confusing and Tony wanted to understand.
"Why?" Tony questioned…okay more like demanded.
"Why…?" Steve looked at Tony confused.
"Why do you always say I love you before you leave?"
"OH" Steve's face cleared up and he looked a bit embarrassed.
'Hmmm…" Tony hummed to get Steve too talked as the blond looked away with a blush.
"Well…ah you see…it's my kind of a…well a good luck charm."
Now Tony was the one to look confused.
"It makes me feel as though I will defiantly come back to you and we will both be safe and unharmed while we are apart." Steve's blush was spreading and he did not look at Tony. And Tony was blushing as well.
"I…I can stop if you like." The words seemed to pain Steve.
"NO!" Tony cried, Steve looking up surprise. "I…I like it." Steve now smiled.
"I'm glad."
"I love you" when they left on missions.
"I love you" when they separated for work.
"I love you" when they went to different places for lunch.
"I love you" every time they were separated.
It was driving Clint insane. How much lovey dovey did Tony and Steve need to be. Did they really need to say I love you in place of goodbye?
