Metallic Heart 05

Tells You, You Have a Heart


Many people believed Tony Stark not to have a heart. Slowly, he himself began to believe it when he found himself pushing away the other Avengers...just as his father did to him. But is there one man out there that can change his mind? FrosIron.


Tony heaved a sigh as he got up. Loki was in the blankets, sleeping by now, yet Tony had to get up. JARVIS had rudely reminded him that Rogers was downstairs waiting. He got up and then smiled at Loki, kissing his cheek. This was an odd feeling to feel for...Loki but oh well. He had done worse in his life after all. He had to accept it though. Oh well, he would have to face what was to happen later on.

He walked downstairs after straitening his clothing to look more...presentable for Rogers. He sighed some and shook his head as he walked down to the living room. He spotted the man watching the news and frowned. "Can you turn that off?" He asked as he approached the other man. Rogers blinked then turned around and sweat-dropped. He nodded a little bit and turned the TV off. Tony walked over and sat down the others left, leaning back against the arm rest. "So, what did you want Rogers?" He asked and sighed.

"I wanted to make sure you were okay and..." Rogers trailed off for a moment before he pulled out the object he found and handed it to Tony. Tony stared at it for a long moment and then bit his lip. "Proof that Tony Stark has a heart..." Rogers murmured. "That tells me that all of those things said about you are perfectly fake. Correct Anthony?" He asked.

"...It was made by Pepper...they won't believe it." Tony sighed some and shook his head as well. He looked away. "Even I can't believe it myself Rogers...I don't know if there is a warm heart under here, under everything that is wires and metal here." He closed his eyes. "I have no idea at all where my real heart would really be under all of this." He laughed nervously and closed his eyes. "As far as I'm concerned, they may be right Rogers...I may not have a heart that they are looking for..." He trailed off.

Rogers frowned and moved a hand out, he touched the others shoulder softly. "Anthony, you're not alone here you know...you'll never be alone, but you seem to want to be wanting it to happen...you seem like you want to push everyone awa-"

"People just bring pain." Tony replied. "No matter what I do, I always somehow get hurt...emotionally, physically...I don't know anymore. I've hurt a lot of people as well...makes me wonder why some people stayed by me even if I did those things." His eyes closed and he shook his head. He moved the others hand off his shoulder then blinked some as Rogers moved it back. "What are-?"

"You don't even ever notice who your friends care and want to help you. Pepper is really worried about you, she loves you Anthony..." Rogers said softly and Tony sighed, shaking his head.

"Rogers...I was living a lie with her." Tony replied softly. "I don't want to hurt Pepper ya know? But I'm not in love with her...I only noticed when I felt the touch of the one I feel I love." He took a deep breath. "I screwed up with her, and I hate that I did, because now what in the world am I supposed to tell her?" He shook his head. "More so if she knew who it happened to be."

"Then who is it Anthony?" Rogers asked softly and Tony swallowed some. Rogers, every other Avenger-more so Thor-, and Fury would have his head.

"I can't tell you Rogers." Tony replied softly. "It's hard to explain..." He rubbed the back of his head, avoiding the eyes that were searching for an answer in those eyes.

"By god-Tony...don't tell me it's someone on the team." Rogers seemed shocked and Tony's jaw dropped a bit. He shook his head.

"N-no!" Tony argued. "It's just someone..." He moved his head as he glanced around some. "That no one would approve of me being with..."

"Heh, unless it was a super villain-" Nailed it. "-then there wouldn't be any issues..." Rogers shrugged and Tony laughed nervously and nodded a little bit.

"Of course, now where do you think I would find a super villain to love me?" Tony was careful with his words, freaked that with one notion, Rogers had figured it out, but didn't know he had.

"True, that would only be too odd Anthony. And I'm perfectly sure you have enough sense not to date a god or anything!" Wrong. He has no idea. Tony laughed as well and nodded. Suddenly, Rogers was serious, looking at him. "Anthony, who is it? Come on; tell me whom you have fallen in love with." He said softly. "I don't want you to fall in love with someone that will only break your heart in the end."

"He won't." As soon as he said that, he cursed, forgetting that he was probably expected to like a girl.

"…Well…that explains to me why you don't love Pepper anymore…it's a he then, Anthony?" Rogers asked and frowned a little as well. Tony paused before he slowly nodded in reply to the question. He bit his lip, Crap, why did he say he? Dang it! He had really screwed himself over just then. "Interesting…to say the least…I would never have thought…" Rogers trailed off and began to think that over again. Really, Anthony Edward Stark was in love with a male…Never thought he would see that, but that helped him a lot as well. He paused some before looking at Tony right in the eyes. "So…you are really in love with a male…" He trailed off and then smiled some. Tony didn't like that look he had.

"Y…Yeah I'm in love with a male Rogers. Can you get over that already? It's not like it's that big of a deal!" Tony laughed some then felt something. His eyes widened, Rogers had moved closer and was now…


Loki sighed softly as he woke up. He looked around and wondered where Stark had gone off to, then remembering that 'Rogers' was downstairs. He frowned some, not to happy that he had interrupted them in the first place. Stark was rather warm as well, and he liked that warmth…maybe he had been lying to himself when he told himself that he didn't care for humans. Stark, he was not like the rest, he was caring inside even if he didn't see it himself…and Loki rather accepted that. However, he knew Stark would not accept him feeling…no Stark had kissed him back. Maybe he had to a chance to melt that Metallic heart.

Stark was taking too long at that...he wanted to go check up on him. That was exactly what he did as well. He snuck downstairs and looked into the living room. He stopped. Rogers...Captain America, was kissing his man. His? Yes, he didn't want anyone else to have the man he had...he knew he fallen for.


A/n: Well...this chapter is at end now…very short. -Nods- I hoped you liked the little shock at the end there. Ah, and here at the end, to make up with it being so short, I decided to give you a little hint on what Pepper is up to. Oh, and yes I am making more FrosIron fanfictions to let you all know. One of my friends loves this pairing, so as a present I am working on some oneshots to make her happy for another year xD

I need ideas for them, so tell me ideas please ;)

But I do want ideas that are with Loki on top…just a thing I have xD


Pepper took a deep breath as she looked at the house in front of her. She chewed on her lip a little bit. If Rogers failed, this was the last person she knew that could possibly go to, to help Tony… He needed it, and he probably would not want to come to agreement on that with Pepper, leaving her to interfere at least. The house she was now at belonged to Rhodey, Tony's best friend. Well, he used to be…until something happened between them…well a big fight. Now she had to figure a way to get Rhodey to forget that and help Tony… He needed it so much.

Slowly, she knocked on the door. There were a few noises before Rhodey opened the door. He sighed and looked at Pepper before leaning back on the doorframe. "What? Did Ton-" Before he could finish that she slammed the paper about Tony in his face and waited for him to read it. He sighed and began to read it silently. After a bit his mouth opened but no words left. He ran a hand through his hair and took a few deep breaths. "No heart…they're…wrong…" Rhodey murmured. "And using me as a reason to nail him on that…" He trailed off and then closed his eyes. "Why did you show me this Pep?"

"I want you to help him. You are my last line to ask after Rogers…" Pepper said. "If he fails I don't know what I will do." She sighed softly and shook her head slowly. "He's broken up about it and I know…I just-" She stopped when she got a message on her phone. She frowned and looked at it. She glanced at a message she got from JARVIS that was sent from Rogers. Her eyes widened, showed it to Rhodey who also looked freaked out. "Happy is in the car waiting, come on!" She said and ran to it. Rhodey put on his shoes and closed/locked the door before running after her.
