Hi all. So I cant seem to get my in progress stories going since I am still fighting this dumb cold. But I am trying, I type a little every now and then for stuff when I find inspiration.
And I did get inspired to do this. If you look on Youtube and look up Goodbye my Lover Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter, it'll make you cry. It's an awesome video and my reason for writing this.
Please keep voting in my poll. Still tied 4-4
"He's brooding again Tony!"
Tony huffed. "Really? Is this what you do all day Jarvis? Were not always going to be sunshine and rainbows here!"
"I am sorry sir but…I believe Mr. Rogers really needs you and the others today" Jarvis answered.
"And what makes today so damn special?" he growled.
"I believe its Ms. Peggy Carter's birthday…the woman passed away a few days after Mr. Rogers came back to life" Jarvis answered.
Tony cursed under his breath. He stood, and to Pepper's shock, he pulled her into a tight hug. "Please don't ever die before me Pep…I don't think I'll be as strong as Steve" he whispered.
"I'll try not to Tony…but then I am not a superhero genius who always gets into trouble so I don't think we have much to worry" she whispered.
He pulled back and smirked at her. "And yet you love me anyway" he said and she shrugged. "Little bit each day" she said. He only smiled knowing she was teasing. He couldn't imagine not having her.
Tony then knew how to help the good Captain. He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of his lab.
He found Steve in the gym. "Jarvis, find the song, Goodbye my lover" he instructed. Pepper gaped at him and he ignored turned when the sad song played. "What's with the sad music Tony?" he asked.
Tony went to him and put his hands on his shoulders. "Let her go Steve…she wouldn't want you to keep suffering for her" he said.
"Yeah…because you wouldn't for Pepper"
"I know I would….and you'd be telling me the same damn thing" he countered. Steve gave a small smile. For such a rocky start he and Tony became really good friends somehow.
"Yeah…I'd dump all your liquor too and make you start living again" he admitted.
"Which is what I will do for you Cap…were going to honor your girl with a birthday party…I think she has a daughter that's in her twenties" he said.
"Tony…" Steve whined and Tony only smiled. "No need to thank me Steve" he answered, purposely missing the tone of voice.
"Now come on…we have work to do!" he said. He clapped his hands with glee of a little boy. Tony did like parties after all.
Steve nodded. He knew arguing was pointless anyway. He closed his eyes and listened to the song. A single tear fell. Tony sighed and gave him a small hug.
"It's all right Steve…I told you before…your not alone" he whispered.
Steve smiled as he hugged back awkwardly. "Thanks…" he said and pulled back. "All right…lets go honor Peggy…long as all the Avengers are with me at the party…I think I'll be okay" he said.
"You got it…" Tony said and they walked back to Pepper. Steve put an arm around her. Tony smiled as he led the way out. Maybe he was finally getting through to Rogers.
He never imagined they'd be close friends but…sometimes in life…you have to accept what your given. Friendship isn't easy and neither is life so you have to just take what's been given and make the most of it.
