"Can I come in?"

"No." The petulance was clear even through the door.

"Please?"

"NO!" Steve was NOT going to let Tony see him like this. Tiny, scrawny, a head shorter than most women. Not going to happen.

"Stupid Loki, and his stupid spell." Steve mumbled.

"I can still hear you." Tony's laughter was obvious in his voice. The door muffled things enough to make hearing a bit difficult but they knew each other well enough to read the others emotions even with it.

"Come on Steve, it can't be that bad."

"Oh yes it can!" His preserum body was depressing, and embarrassing and he was not going to let the sexy man standing outside he bathroom door see it. The only good thing is that Steve did not have asthma or any other ailment. Other than being small and weak.

"Steve." Exasperated but fond. "I love you. I'd love you if your skin was purple, if you had tail, if you were the size of an elephant or the size of a grape. I love you and nothing, nothing, is going to change that." Muffled but clear.

There was silence. The door began to open very, very slowly.
