Drabble 97-Coming Out

Danny was more than a little nervous today. Not only was he coming out to the team, but he had also brought his beloved tech nerd boyfriend with him in hopes that they would approve. And he couldn't see why they wouldn't, other than them just being overprotective. But he hoped that they would become overprotective of Tucker as well.

They rode the elevator up to the living area, where he knew most of the Avengers would be. His hands were opening and closing as he tried to steady his breath. If he didn't have an ice core he would be sweating all over the place. And he was pretty sure he was so nervous those were ice crystals forming on the walls.

Tucker squeezed his hand comfortingly, sending reassurance and love to Danny and help ground him to reality.

"It's gonna be okay, dude," he told Danny as he pushed his glasses up his nose.

"I know. I know. Just-how are you so calm right now?" Danny asked.

"They're your friends, not mine. This is way more personal for you, babe."

"Oh, yeah."

They rode the last floor up in silence, and when the doors finally opened, Danny's slow heart skipped a beat. Tucker was the first one to move, knocking Danny out of his mini-freakout moment.

Most of the Avengers were there. The only one missing was Thor, but he had been offworld for a few weeks now, and Natasha, who was doing some undercover business in some classified location or another. Tony was in the lab, so they could just go there after they talked to Clint, Bruce, and Steve.

He was especially worried about how Steve would react. After all, he was from the forties, and being gay back then was a major problem. He never expected Captain America of all people to be homophobic, but he also wouldn't doubt it with all of those factors added up.

"Hey, guys," Danny said nervously. It must have shown in his voice, because when the three older Avengers turned around they all had concern painted across their faces.

"Danny? Something wrong?" Steve asked.

"N-No," he stuttered. Tucker squeezed his hand, and Danny took in a deep breath to try and calm his nerves. "I just have to tell you guys something."

"What is it?" Bruce asked, taking his glasses off and putting his book down. So he had the good doctor's full attention. Awesome.

"I want you to meet my boyfriend, Tucker," Danny said, gesturing to Tucker. He swallowed and gave them all a little wave. Clint's eyes widened, and Steve and Bruce smiled warmly at the two. Steve stood up, and Danny didn't know what was going to happen until he was right in front of them, sticking his hand out for Tucker to shake. Which he did, of course, because if Captain America wants to shake your hand you don't deny him.

"Pleasure to meet you, Tucker," Steve said. "We've heard a lot of good things about you."

"You're...You're okay with the gay thing?" Danny asked. He had been expecting Steve to just get up and walk out, or to kick him off the team or something majorly drastic and uncharacteristic of him. But instead, Steve just chuckled and riffled Danny's hair.

"It would be kind of hypocritical of me to not accept you. I'm glad you've found someone that makes you happy, Danny. Just be safe, yeah?"

Danny smiled and nodded, unable to form words for the fear that if he opened his mouth, he would start crying. And the last thing he wanted right now was to cry in front of his, apparently queer, childhood hero.

"Thanks, Mr. Rogers," Tucker said. He looked like he was going to cry too, but he held it a little bit better together than Danny was currently doing. Steve smiled and nodded at Tucker, and then winked at Danny before returning to his place on the couch.

"Fuck you, Danny," Clint said. "Now I owe Natasha fifty bucks."

Steve hit Clint over the head with his sketchbook, making everyone bust out laughing. Danny was still giggling when he tugged on Tucker's hand, leading him to the elevator.

"Come on," he said with a grin, "Let's go tell Tony."

"Hey, Tony!" Danny called once they stepped out into the workshop. There was a loud clang with a string of curses following it, and then Tony's head popped up from behind some boxes of parts he had ordered.

"Casper!" Tony greeted happily. "Long time no see."

"Your jokes never fail to amuse, Tony," Danny replied dryly.

"You love them, don't deny it," the genius replied. Danny hadn't really been worried about telling Tony. Yeah, he was a bit older, but he was also very progressive. He changed his way of thinking to accommodate others if needed. Like him switching from weapons to clean energy. So, no, Danny wasn't worried about coming out to him.

What he was worried about was Tucker leaving him to try to hook up for one night with his favorite superhero/genius of all time.

Tucker was already drooling as Tony took his goggles off and started moving boxes around, showing off his bulging muscles. Not as big as Steve's, but still obviously there.

"What can I do for you boys?" Tony asked, grunting slightly as he picked up another box.

"I just wanted to let you know my boyfriend has a huge crush on you," Danny said casually. He was nervous on the inside, even though he knew he really shouldn't be. Especially since this was Tony, and everything was taken seriously and as a joke all at the same time. From Danny's previous statement, he had come out, and that was huge for him, but for the part about his boyfriend being into him so much so that he would leave Danny? Tony knew a good joke when he saw one. But that didn't stop him from playing off of it.

"I'm sorry, Casper, you're just going to have to learn that I can't shut off my sexiness. It's a gift and a curse."

Danny snorted, and Tucker somehow managed to tear his eyes away from the billionaire and turn his attention to what he was working on.

He and Tony started talking, throwing science jargon at each other like a game of tennis, and it was equally fascinating and boring as hell to watch. Danny smiled to himself as he sat down in one of the really comfy rolly-chairs Tony kept around, placing his feet on the computer desk. He had no trouble falling asleep as he listened to the voices of his beloved and Tony, and fell asleep thinking he was the luckiest guy in the world right then.
