"Thank you..." I let my head hit the pillow again, hoping that this spat with Tony wouldn't last too long. I heard a set of high heels making their way down the hall before they entered the room. I glanced up to see Black Widow stood there, she smiled reassuringly at me.
"You doing okay?" She glanced over me, obviously checking for any large injuries. I nodded slowly, a smile had spread across her face.
"Tony hates me."
"Tony hates everyone."
"He blames me for all of his problems." She sat on the bed and moved my head into her lap, I felt slightly soothed as she started to smooth my hair.
"Tony blames everyone for his problems, it's another one of his problems. He blames his dad for him being so cold; he blames you for making his dad so cold. It isn't your fault, please don't blame yourself Steve." She cooed as my eyes started to close, I hadn't felt this comfortable in a long time.
It was our first day of proper training after we'd had the weekend to get to know each other. I'd managed to find a friend in Bruce, Clint, Tasha and Thor. Tasha was definitely my best friend right now, she understood how hard it was for me to adjust and I even told her about my feelings for Tony and how confused they made me. Tony was still being difficult and refusing to speak to me unless pushed into it by Tasha, it was starting to matter less to me. Maybe I wasn't developing a crush on him maybe I was just a little star struck or Stark struck as I'm sure he'd prefer.
I suited up and joined my team mates on the way to the days lessons, Clint and Thor were walking behind Tasha making rude jokes. I heard Bruce chuckle as he got closer to me.
"Not your scene Steve?"
"I prefer a more old-fashioned approach to dating Bruce," I smiled as we walked into the classroom, I sat between Bruce and Thor who was looking confused at his English book. Tony smacked my head as he walked past; well at least it was a step up from him ignoring me. We were given a book to read, Hamlet, I was pretty amazed that Thor understood it.
"Psst. Steve." I turn around to see Tasha dangling a piece of paper at me, she had a smirk on her face. "Pass this to Clint please?" As I took it off her and went to pass it in front I felt it slip out of my hands, it took me a second to react but I attempted to snatch it back only to be faced with the irritating voice of Tony Stark.
"Now, now Cap. Play nicely." He read the piece of paper before Tasha could snatch it back, which took some talent; she had super cat-like reflexes. "Dear Clint. How about we watch a movie tonight, just the two of us? Kiss, kiss Tasha!" He was smirking at her, I could see it was taking all of her strength not to pounce on him and beat the hell out of him; frankly I couldn't blame her for being mad. That's when I sort of lost myself for a moment and may have punched Stark in the face, I honestly didn't even register what I was doing, it just happened!
The woman teaching us looked dumbfounded, "Captain America... Did you just hit him?" I looked at my fists and then back at her, nodding slowly. "Right, well both of you can go to Fury's office right now." I stood, still slightly shocked at my actions and as I walked out of the door I started to feel more and more ashamed.
Tony and I were silent as we walked down the hall together, I think this had been the longest I'd seen him silent, I hadn't really seen him much since the fight. Fury was waiting for us as we approached the office.
"In and sit down." He snapped, we did as we were told. "What happened?" Tony and I looked at each other, unsure who should answer first. Fury was looking at Tony, obviously expecting the 'victim' to answer first.
"He just randomly smacked me in the face. It was completely unprovoked!" My jaw dropped in disbelief, as though it wasn't enough that Stark was spouting these lives the look on Fury's face indicated that he believed him.
"It wasn't unprovoked. He was being a bully and I can't stand bullies." I growled glaring at Tony as I did so.
"He's growling at me. I feel threatened."
"Do you ever shut up?"
"Both of you stop it now! You're meant to be part of a team! You're both on litter duty for the next week. Clear?"
"But."
"Clear Stark?" He nodded, Fury then turned to me and I nodded. He handed us what we needed and then he shooed us away.
I noticed Tony kept glancing at me as we picked up the trash; he also kept opening his mouth as if to say something.
"Can I help Tony?"
"What?"
"You keep looking at me."
"A cat can look at a queen. And you're one of the biggest queens I've met."
"Excuse me?"
"I know what you are Steve. When we first met I was wondering why you hadn't attempted to charm Natasha, then earlier I heard you talking to Bruce and noticed you weren't even glancing her way."
"Just because I don't like Tasha doesn't mean I'm..." He began moving closer to me.
"Don't worry, I am too." I looked at him confused; this guy had hated me just two days ago. He'd refused to talk to me and now he was telling me his secrets? Was this some kind of trick?
"I don't understand... Why are you telling me all this?"
"Because it's an explanation for this." He cupped my face and kissed me gently. For the first time ever I felt the fireworks that Bucky would tell me about.
I wasn't sure of anything anymore maybe I was gay, then again maybe I only liked one boy, one thing I did know however was that I liked Tony Stark. And that was about to get me into a really complicated situation.
A/N: Thanks for the reviews and subs (:x
