A/N: So, one last chapter before I start school.
I'll try to find time but I'm not sure how much free time I'd have. Sorry :(
Steve starts to like Tony~


"Okay, I understand." Was the first thing Steve heard as he walked into the kitchen. "Thank you." Tony hung up the phone and looked at Steve. "Good morning.." He smiled lightly.
"Morning..." Steve said quietly. He just looked at Tony and didn't move from his place, as if waiting for an answer for an unasked question.
"The funeral would be today at one." Tony said. Steve nodded and sat next to the table.
"Thank you..." He said quietly. Ever since he ran away Tony was really kind of him. He let him stay in his house, he spent yesterday with him and took care of Steve when was sick. "Sir-"
"Stop calling me like this." Tony stopped Steve, "you can call me Tony."
Steve shook his. "It's or Mr. Stark or Sir. I don't know you well yet..." He said quietly.
"Then should I call you Steve or Rogers?" Tony asked in wonder as he gave Steve a plate and sat next to him. Steve looked at it. It seemed that Tony learned not to give him too much food.
"However you want, I don't actually mind." He said and started to eat.
"I'd drive you today," Tony suddenly said, "I have to deal with something anyways." He added before Steve protested. Steve nodded.

"Hey Bucky..." Steve said quietly as he reached his friend's grave. He was mad at himself for surviving. Bucky deserved living, not him. Bucky was stronger. But yet again he didn't know what Bucky had...
"I'm sorry I ran away without informing you. I just really had enough of this place..."
Steve told him all about how he bumped into Tony, and how Tony took him to his house, how he finally saw the ocean and sunset for the first time. He knew that Bucky can't hear him, that he can't help him, but it was good for him, to talk about what he been through to his friend even without getting answers.
"We promised to see it together..." Steve said quietly, "but...in the year I got left, I want to do everything we ever wanted. For the both of us..." Steve looked around him, at all the graves of the people who found their bitter end in that cursed hospital...
Soon, he'll be here too.
And when he will, he wants to be next to Bucky's grave.

When they got back Tony said he's going to the lab.
It's been a week and he still was there..
Tony didn't tell anyone but he took Steve's blood samples from the hospital and tried to find a cure. He can't be without him..
Steve decided not to ask Tony what he was doing. But he did missed having him around. He felt alone. Tony was his only company he had but now he didn't even have that. He guessed that Tony was busy with work, and he understood that he can't always be with him. But he really wanted someone to be there next to him...

After another week Steve felt depressed. He felt like he's back at the hospital. He was stuck in one place without the ability to get outside. He could, of course, but not on his own..
But when he looked outside, he understood that he can't always hope that Tony would be there for him, he got manage do stuff on his own.
So after breakfast, he dressed up, took his inhaler and walked out of the house.

It was October and yet the sun was warm enough so Steve won't freeze from the cool wind. He couldn't believe he actually got that far on his own. He had never known that the streets were so full with people, and shops. He didn't know the place but he decided he'd ask someone how to get back if he'd ever get lost. So he continued walking, looking at all the coffee shops he passed, enjoying the scent of the coffee and bakery.
The next shop he passed was a flower shop. There were there so many flowers in any possible color. His favorite type was lilies. He remembered that his mother used to like them, that was the only memory he had from her...
Flowers didn't grow around the hospital, so Steve never saw them until now.

"Steve!" Tony hugged Steve as he came back, "I was so worried..! Where have you been..?!"
"I've been out..." Steve said quietly. He was surprised. Even Bucky didn't worry so much about him. "You were busy and I wanted to look around the city so I left...I guess I should have informed you, sorry."
Tony sighed. "I'm sorry. I was so busy that I completely forgot about you."
Steve shook his head. "It's okay. Don't worry. I enjoyed the walk." He smiled lightly. He saw so many stuff that Bucky would like if he could see it. Books, clothes, even food. It only reminded him how much he missed his friend...
"Tell me next time. I'd gladly leave work." Tony patted Steve's head lightly.
Steve shook his head. "No. You have your life Mr. Stark. I'm really thankful for your help but I can't bother you with everything."
"Don't be ridiculous. I agreed to take care of you." Tony gave Steve something. Steve looked at him confused.
"I got you medicine from the hospital, I've checked it and made sure this would actually help you."
Steve nodded. "Thank you...is that what you were doing for two weeks?"
Tony shook his head. "I've tried to do something different, but I've failed so it doesn't matter..."
"Oh, I'm sorry..."
"I'll find out something. Are you hungry?"

They ate dinner together, Tony told Steve a bit about himself, his job, what he remembered from his parents. Steve listened to every word. He wanted to hear more about the guy who agreed to take care of him.
He found out that Tony was a genius. He built most of the stuff around the house all by himself. He had close friends who were Pepper Potts, his CEO and Rhodey from the Air Force. He himself put aside his father's project to create weapons and started making pure energy instead. For now, he had only a prototype to run the house electricity.
Steve was amazed. He couldn't believe someone could actually do all those stuff.
After dinner Tony suggested they would watch a movie, and Steve, who had barely watched TV, agreed. They sat on the couch, Tony prepared some popcorn and watched the movie together.
Steve fell asleep on Tonys shoulder. Tony smiled and carried Steve to bed and then he went to the lab.
He tried to look for something for Steve, he wanted to help him so badly. He looked in his father's old research, then he saw it; the Super soldier formula.
But it'd take a long time to do it...and Steve only got 8 months...Tony wanted to be there for Steve, but he also wanted to help him.
He didn't know what to do...
He saved it in a noticeable place for him and walked out if the lab. He got to think, and fast.

"You...what now?" Tony asked surprised during dinner.
"I got a job..." Steve repeated.
It'd be Christmas in two months and he wanted to get something for Tony. But since he got no money he could do a thing so he decided to get a job at the flower shop he saw. The owner was nice to him and he liked that place...
"Why?" Tony asked, "Do you need anything? Just say so."
Steve shook his head. "It's nothing like this. And even if it was you already gave me enough Mr. Stark, I couldn't ask for more from you, it's not fair."
Tony sighed, he understood there's no point in arguing with the guy.
"Fine. But take your medicine and inhaler. And call me on your way back."
Steve nodded and smiled lightly. Ever since he moved to live with Tony, he felt more like a normal person than a prisoner. And be couldn't be thankful enough for the guy.
"Mr. Stark..." Steve said quietly. Tony looked at him. "I have to admit that at first...I didn't like you. I hated you if to be honest since you were the one who created that hospital..." Steve felt really stupid. How could he hate that guy for such a thing?
"But, I was wrong...you're nothing like what I thought. You're a kind and nice person...you helped me when I had nobody...thank you very much..."
Tony smiled, he was glad that Steve likes him..
Steve smiled back.
