Step 4: Can You Joke?

The morning was unkind to all as Tony was woken by Jarvis's speaking, "Sir, Captain should wake up soon. You told me to wake you up earlier so you could have your revenge." The word revenge was a wake up call as he remembered yesterday morning, cold water and ice in his lap that jolted him from sleep. Ah yes, payback. Now, the real question was what should he do? It took him a few moments as he got dressed to narrow down the options, the decision was perfect though. He was going to embarrass the shit outta Cap all day long, but now he had to start with something that could be seen as accidental, that way when it progresses it will be funnier throughout the day.

That was when the first idea hit as he held his smart phone out and tried to retrieve some open tabs from last night and saw some unmistakably tagged porn sites on the top of his page. Tony had something of a ferral grin on as he almost plugged in his headphones, but not fully so that the sound would go through the speaker and not the headphones. He pulled up a boring video he had seen that had done nothing for him and turned it on. It was a man and a woman on the screen, but neither was really his type honestly, so at least he would not have to walk around with erection. This video barely did anything to him, but what would the sounds do to a poor little blonde virgin who was very much unactive in relationships.

Tony wondered as he entered the hallway towards the kitchen what Steve's reaction would be, would he instantly call him out on it or would he try to ignore it? The brunette was kinda curious as he stopped off at the kitchen to turn up the audio to full before checking himself in the mirror briefly. He brushed a few hairs, but was relatively agreeable, he looked like his normal charming self with his red T-shirt and black boxers on. The billionaire walked out of the bathroom in stride as he played the video and pretended to look at the screen. As soon as he walked in the kitchen though, no one was there so Tony paused his video and pulled out an earbud, "Jarvis, where is Steve now?" There was a moment of silence before a response, "He is currently coming down the hallway sir." Tony put the earbud back in but didn't press play this time. Instead he set his phone down by the fridge and went to pull out a cup and then poured some orange juice in a glass.

That was the moment the blonde stepped into the room, Tony glanced over at him when he entered. Steve looking sheepishly at him, almost shocked to see him as well. Tony raised an eyebrow as Steve tried to turn around. Last night came back like train of thought, and Tony sighed and said, "I am not mad about last night Cap." The blonde paused and looked back at him, "You're not?" Tony smirked and replied, "Not at all. If you feel embarrassed you could always just make me some sort of breakfast to eat." The blonde stood taller at the mention of food and walked toward the kitchen, stopping a decent space away before nodding, "What do you want?" Tony shrugged and asked with small smirk, "Well what are you making?"

Steve made an amused huffing sound and a single eyebrow lifted higher before he spoke, "how about biscuits and gravy?" Tony frowned and asked almost immediately, "Depends on how much sausage and pepper you put in it. I can't handle spicy foods." Steve walked around him to open the fridge and smiled a little, "What? Can your small body not handle a little kick in the morning?" The brunette felt as though he had been slapped, there was so much sass from Steve this morning! "Wow Cap you are being very sassy this morning," Tony commented with smirk and held back a laugh as Steve looked puzzled, so Tony clarified, "means you are being something along the lines of comediacally disobedient or difficult for fun." Steve nodded at that and just said, "Yeah, I guess I am today then."

Tony said nothing as he took his phone and his cup back to his seat and waited, he waited till Steve would be unable to move. It would be the moment he had something on the stove, because he would be unable to just walk away from it without food burning. As soon as the brunette heard that first sizzling hiss it was time put in operation revenge. Tony looked up from his seat to see a side view of Steve, it was a perfect view to see how the man would react to the sounds. The brunette casually looked at his phone and pretended to plug the headphones in for the first time, but left them off slightly as he pressed the play button and glanced upward. The first noise was a moan, a female moaning sound that was rather obnoxious sounding, but the reaction it got was instant.

The brunette watched the blonde with a quick glance up before the man could register where the noise came from. Steve's whole twitched at the noise, standing taller with wide eyes that Tony found amusing, and quickly he looked down at the video. He didn't remember everything in the video, but he remembered the louder parts and quickly glanced up after it reached another part less than 10 seconds later. This time the man moaned and the reaction was more subtle than the first as he saw Steve's face start to become rosy, and his head shrink a little into his shoulder trying to hide himself from the noise or something, but that wouldn't work.

'Seems like Steve is a bit of masochist to not say anything, or maybe he is just curious about it,' Tony started to think as a whole minute of this went on. The video was extremely short, only around 6 minutes, but the louder parts were really about to begin. The change in Steve was easy to spot, Tony gulped audible as his small glances upward were becoming more like long stares, and luckily Steve was avoiding looking at him. This was when Tony's problems really started, he quickly realized that watching a blonde super toned gorgeous man get embarrassed and aroused by porn audio was not exactly the best revenge for a childish prank. Tony knew around the time he felt himself harden a little that he had screwed himself over on this one.

The pure amusement he felt in the beginning had faded and every second that passed that point felt like a hot eternity. Tony learned some things from watching Steve, none very pure at all, but oh so valuable that Tony took mental notes. First was that Steve reacted stronger to the male moans, second, was that Steve started to tremble at some point a little, third, he was getting rougher with his movements on the food, fourth, he was intent on listening and the fifth, was that Steve's apron he wore couldn't hide his reaction to it at all. Tony mentally cursed his dirty self with coming up with this stupid plan, but he had to follow through, whether it was for curiosity or just to seem unsuspicious about it he didn't know. He planned on being cool and rolling with it until either Steve got done with the biscuits or the video ended.

There was only 2 minutes left and Tony swore those two minutes were hell to him, because Steve reacted to every little sound in some way that Tony was fully hard by the end of it for sure. When it ended finally Tony turned off the phone and spoke somewhat casually to Steve, "You almost done yet?" The blonde's face was red but he seemed calm overall which was strange, but not as strange as Steve's blue looking over and him smiling as he spoke, "Tony, your headphones weren't plugged you know?" Tony had been caught, his face even burned a little even though not plugging them in was his intention. Steve smirked and said, "You're lucky Tony, because I swear if you try to do that to me again I will bash my shield into your face and you won't be pretty to even look at."

Tony laughed a little, almost nervously as the blonde's eyes looked like they knew what he had been trying to do, "So you admit I have a pretty face now?" He really should have known better than to test a sassy and sexually frustrated Steve Rogers, because in an instant Steve took a spatula from the utensil holder and slapped the billionaire square in the face. The brunette felt rooted to the spot as he heard the other avenger speak, "Jarvis told me what you were going to do that Tony, also making a joke while I am rather stressed at the moment was just unwise. Please keep in mind that I had hot food here and could have thrown that instead."

The brunette couldn't help the small "Ha" that escaped him as he continued, "I knew that you knew! I thought it looked too staged, like a bad porn." Tony smiled in victory as he saw Steve blush a little for real this time as he looked over him to say, "Was I that bad at faking it?" It was a curious statement that made Tony love Cap's need to be better at things and to get better at things, it was what made him so honest and innocent. "Well," the brunette shrugged, "You did have me fooled, but around the three minute mark it was looking a bit fake, but you were actually aroused so that helped it become more natural. By the way, if you didn't know how to get rid of your probl-"

"Okay! I am fine now. Everything is fine and the biscuits and gravy is almost done, next time please don't play those types of videos when I am cooking. It's dangerous!" Steve was back to regular old Steve now and Tony could help but add, "Yeah, I bet it's dangerous indeed. You look like a decently heavy we-" "TONY!" Steve cut him off with a red vibrant face and a glare at him, but he could tell it was not going to get violent at all. He drank from his orange juice and said, "Jarvis, please don't tell Steve about my plan for revenge next time." The blonde made a mocking sound and then as Steve kinda stood there, watching the biscuits and gravy and ignoring the brunette, Tony said, " Cap, I thought that was going to be funnier, but I was wrong to do that when you were making food for us. I just wanted to embarrass you, you know, have a good laugh at your innocence."

He saw Steve visible stall his movements and without looking at Tony he replied, "You know I am not innocent Tony." The billionaire paused at the growled tone, it wasn't the evasive tone he usually used, it was angered. The brunette felt flash of guilt and tried to redeem himself, "Steve, you know I meant in terms of sexuality. Actually, in terms of embarrassment more over." He could see how that had appeased the bristled Captain down a little so Tony continued, "Just to remind you, you dumped freezing ice on my crotch, I could have frozen my nuts off!"

Steve made a sour face, "It would only serve you right for all the woman you have probably made cross over the years." Tony perked at that and said back, "Really now? All my partners have been satisfied with me and in fact they always beg for more." The blonde threw a plate down in front of him and replied with a straight face, "Maybe they couldn't get enough from you. Maybe you weren't emotionally connecting with them, since all your relationships are purely physical." Something snapped in Tony, he didn't know what word or phrase triggered him, maybe it was the harsh reality that he indeed detached himself when it came to getting close to someone.

"What would you know!" Tony shouted, even if the way the blonde had said had been in actual curiosity, he was offended, far past it. The words mocking him especially since Steve had said them, "You've never been in a real relationships! All of yours have been shit so far so who are you to be giving advice!" The words were spat out face and the paler man seemed in shock and taken aback by the brunette's pure spit fire words. They hurt and he continued, the hurt wrenching itself in his heart, "You never even really loved anyone! You wanna know why Steve?" The question was rhetorical, because the billionaire wanted to answer it himself as he stepped up to the paler man, the other backing up against a counter. Tony's voice raised even louder and Steve tried to speak, but Tony glared at him and cut him off with more words, "Because we aren't capable of love! We were grown up by heartless people in a cruel world that is reality! It's the hard truth, just like the fact that everyone in the past you ever had a connection to died!"

The billionaire watched as Captain America's whole body seemed jolt, his chest heaving deeply and Tony couldn't stop himself now, "I don't want to be attached to people who DISAPPEAR!" It was last word that echoed around the silent room, the smaller man clapped a hand over his mouth as he realized exactly what he had said, "Steve." He said the words softly and came closer, but Steve jolted, not even with the soothing way that the billionaire said his name could stop this oncoming emotional turn table. He had his head, the blonde's chest heaving and his grip on the countertop edge cracking underneath the pressure. "Don't touch me," the words left the blonde's mouth and they cracked at Tony's heart.

His brown eyes widened in fear, all his work to get closer to the blonde and to be able to dance, it was slipping away. Then, the blonde looked up at him, a pale hand covering his eyes, but there were streaks now being painted by salty tears. Then, the large hand on his eyes slid upward through his hair, the pale face now a redder version of it's original look. Those eyes weren't crying now, but they were watery as he spoke, "I think...I think you have a chance." The words were hard to understand, but Tony widened his eyes as Steve continued, "I know that I...that after everything I've seen, I don't think it's possible...for me to love anyone...I don't have the right, but you are different...you can still love, i've seen it...You may not have a heart, but you..you really are a better human than anyone with a heart and just as good. I believe that with my whole heart."

The smaller male stared emptily in silence as he stilled in time, his eyes watching as this beautiful Avenger, a hero of the world, say that he didn't deserve happiness. Tony's words had hit the blonde deeply and apparently Steve's self pity was ingrained into him. It was apparent to the billionaire that he had done something terribly wrong, in fact it was morally wrong. "Steve," he tried again to reach out to the blonde to do something, anything at this point, but the taller male flinched and shouted quickly, "No!" Tony jumped at the urgent yell and the fear in his eyes, and he tried again, more determined and once again Steve yelled once more, "No! Don't touch me Tony! I am bad!" The brunette caught a hold of one of his wrists and squeezed it gently, and the blonde's shouts stopped as Tony whispered, his head hitting softly against the front of the blonde's apron, "I didn't mean it Cap. I overreacted to your question, and all those things I said were just me being angry and you were here to take it out on. I am sorry." There was silence and Tony wondered if Captain America would push him away, but he heard the whisper from above, "You weren't really wrong about what you said though."

Tony lifted his head and felt the previous guilt that was stabbing him wrench and twist when he saw the blonde's mouth smile the saddest smile he had ever seen. Tony actually felt his eyes start to water slightly and he stepped back from the blonde and saw the fear that was in taller man's eyes. A man who always blamed himself when things went wrong, believing he was always responsible. Tony closed his fists and then anger flashed in his eyes as he whipped his hand right across Steve's cheek. There was a resounding slap that echoed through the room, the sound followed by a shuddering breath by Steve, his head whipped to the left, his eyes widened in shock as he heard Tony shout, "Goddammit Steve! Stop pitying yourself! You aren't in that situation anymore! You are here now! You are in the 21st century where things have changed and people are always changing! You can't blame yourself for every damn thing!"

Bright baby blues looked at him and Steve was flushed slightly, cupping the side of cheek that had been hit. Tony glared at him until he heard Steve mutter something softly, and Tony snaps back with, "What did you say?" The blonde's eyebrows creased in anger and he looked back at the billionaire with an equally blazing look, "You do the same damn thing Tony! Don't act as if you don't either, because I know you do the same thing. Is it such a bad thing to want to blame myself and not others! I WANT TO SEE THE GOOD IN EVERY ONE, BUT HOW CAN I DO THAT WHEN I START BLAMING THEM FOR THINGS THAT THEY CAN'T CONTROL!"

"YOU CAN'T CONTROL IT EITHER STEVE! YOU CAN'T MAKE TIME STOP TILL YOU SAVE THE DAY! THINGS HAPPEN AND SOMETIMES THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP IT!" the brunette shouted as he pushed forward till he was at Cap's neck, his hand now buried in his apron. Steve growled at that and shouted brokenly at him, "I HAVE TO TRY. I just have to... I can save so many people, but..." Steve grabbed Tony's short and he put his head downward and he gasped in an obvious held back sob, "I can never save the people I really love...They always end up dead or in pain...always." Tony let his grip go on the apron and in an instant was hugging Steve in a tight hug, he felt the blonde stiffen under the touch.

Even the billionaire was tense, in fact the air of the situation was tense, but the cold skin of Steve becoming warm because of him was distracting him. "You have us now and we don't die very easy you know," the smaller male said with a small chuckle as he heard a small one from Steve who now had relaxed into the hug. "Tony," the taller man spoke, but his voice muffled by their hug, "hmmm?" There was a moment of silence before the blonde completed his thoughts, "I'm sorry." Tony stilled himself and his breath caught, Steve's grip becoming tighter around him. Those simple words held so many meanings and yet was so vague on which it addressed, was he sorry about his attitude? Sorry about his life? Sorry about doubting the Avengers even? So many different meanings, but the brunette could only guess he meant them all so he replied, "Yeah, you better be."

He felt Steve squeeze him painfully and he yelped at the sudden attack, "Woah! What the hell?!" Steve only replied, "You're the one who started this with your weird prank!" Tony said with a scowl in a monotone voice, "Cap, I could have had frostbite on my nuts!" Steve and Tony seperated but he saw an inkling of a smile upon his face, "Wipe that smile off your face, I would be devastated if I was unable to have sex!" Steve raised his eyebrows and said, "Really, I guess I am greater than the great Tony Stark then, because I can live without it." Tony got a shocked look on his face and sputtered, "You've never even jacked off th-" "-I HAVE! That doesn't count as sex though...does it?" Cap asked with a red face and Tony snorted.

"It doesn't, I mean you do still have your two virginities then you haven't really had sex," Tony commented leaning back unto the counter and Steve looked confused, "Two? I thought t-WAIT DON"T TELL! I KNOW THAT LOOK TONY! I don't want to know! Forget I aske-" "Well one is lost in the front and the other in th-" Tony started only to ber cut off by an embarrassed Steve he knew, "SHUT UP TONY! I don't need to hear it!" The taller male reaching up to cover his ears but the shorter male grabbed at them and said, "Really Cap, you should listen to me give the birds and bees to you. I bet your parents never told you about anything either."

"Why are we talking about birds or bees? Is that a sexual innuendo I don't know?" Steve seemed generally panicked and the brunette smirked, this was his chance to prank Steve. "Well, it's a discussion we have with kids when they reach an age of maturity and basically explaining how sex works and answering any questions," Steve flushed a little and said a little in awe, "Really? Back when I was growing up it was taboo to even talk about. I guess it's really different now." Tony scoffed, "Yeah that's an understatement of the century in the most literal sense!" The brunette's eyes stayed stuck on the blonde's face which was growing redder by the second.

"So," Tony trailed off slightly which caught Steve's attention again as those blue eyes landed on him. "Got any questions then? Or maybe you want the bird and bees from Jarvis?" Tony asked with a small laugh, but was completely thrown off when Steve nodded. "Wait, do you have a question or are you wanting the bird and bees talk from Jarvis?" The blonde stood up and said in embarrassment, "Nevermind, it was a stupid question anyway!" The pale man started to walk away, and Tony started to panic in an instant and quoted something he knew from his own teachers, "No question is a stupid question." Steve paused at the doorway and slowly put a hand on the doorframe and leaned into it, never looking back, but Tony heard him mutter regardless, "This is embarrassing..."

"Hey, could be worse," the brunette pointed out with a chuckle, and Steve sighed audibly. There was a moment of silence ensued as the billionaire waited for some question to come which eventually it did, "Does it hurt?" Tony paused for only a second before he was truthful, "Well it depends on if your talking about having sex with men or women. Which are you referring to?" Truthfully, Tony was ready for Steve to run away from asking like he usually tried to do, but to his surprise, the taller man lingered in the doorway. Those pale ears turned cherry pink though as spoke, still facing away from the billionaire, "Men." The brunette couldn't help a smirk growing on his face a little though he couldn't tell you exactly why. Maybe because he just knew that Steve would ask him about it eventually.

He stood up from his slouched position against the counter, his eyes instantly watching Steve straighten up at the noise, but he didn't turn around from his position. The billlionaire licked his lips, revenge could still be taken upon Steve, he had thought this morning that he had screwed up his chance for revenge, but he had been on the right track. The only reason it had really failed was because it had been planned, but maybe that was the problem. It needed to improvisation, his words affected Steve whether or not the pale man wished to admit or not. His eyes roved the pale neck and those pink ears, his innocent reactions to suggestive words were indeed very tempting, even the tanner man could admit that.

"Depends," he said and saw a small flinch in the man's grip on the doorframe, the blonde probably surprised from how close his voice was now. "on whether you plan to take control and lead them to the best place they can be, or are you willing to let go of your control and completely entrust your partner with your heart entirely." Tony couldn't help the way his voice became scratchier as his tanned hand reached up to grasp at Steve's on the doorframe, his fingers intertwining with those pale ones to create an alluring sight. The blonde 's breath seemed to become deeper and now as Tony drew closer he could see Steve's cheeks were enflamed.

Tony gulped a little at the sight, feeling parched slightly as his brown eyes met with beautiful blue eyes, eyes that seemed to be the water he needed. His voice continued a little raspy, but the effect it had was hard to ignore. "Which would you be then Captain?" Tony prodded oh so sweetly and watched as the Captain bite his lip and hid himself slightly as his free hand dug itself into his hair, his gears obviously turning. The brunette guessed since Steve was a Captain he might want to lead someone, but he was equally a solider as well so perhaps following orders was what he wanted. At the moment, it was an interesting debate that Tony wished to know the answer of. Those blue eyes flickering back to Tony, resolution in them unlike any other time before, fear mixed into those determined eyes as he spoke, "I-". That was when there was a sound of the elevator happened to ding and the two quickly separated within an instant, their heads swiveling as Barton waltzed out of the elevator.

Clint Barton turned and smiled at Steve then smirked as he turned to Stark, "Well, shoot me in the eye. The vampire is awake in the morning for a second time this week, really Steve I think your food may work miracles." Tony grimaced and scowled in anger at the man as he strolled up them and it took everything he had not to choke him. Internally he was screaming, he had been so close to Cap, so close to finally cracking that armor he had with everyone near him. So damn close to getting Steve to even admit to him something personal, and then Barton had to come back.

Tony sighed and decided to leave his training today, his heart wasn't in it if Barton was around, but even the thought of Hawkeye snooping around was enough to enrage him. "I'm going back to my lab. Jarvis, don't let Hawkeye in no matter what," he said, but he couldn't help as his eyes slid to the Captain who met his gaze, even though Clint was shouting at him, his eyes stayed locked on those baby blues that shone with an odd look and a sad smile. "-eve allowed in but not me! Are you salty about breakfast a few days ago?" Clint finished and Tony scoffed, "Like I remember anything you say after 24 hours. It's usually only garbage anyway."

Clint raised an eyebrow at Tony before saying, "Hey Captain, Stark's being rude again." It almost sounded like he was tattling on him, but Captain seemed to be in his own world with his eyebrows creased in a posture that looked like a standing version of "The Thinker". Clint seemed to be surprised by the change, but not Tony, it was a usual occurrence actually. It was the stance he took when he tries to figure something out, "What's wrong?" Barton asked and Steve seemed to snap his head and asked, "Why did you say Tony was salty?" Both brunettes lost it when the paler man asked such a thing with a innocent studious face, but the billionaire was really glad he asked it.

"I-" The tanner man started but was cut off by Barton quickly who finished it with his usual annoying way of cutting of other people's sentences, "It basically means he is still mad about something, kinda hard to deal with like salt rocks." There was a light that went on in the blonde's eyes as he understood finally, then the voice of Jarvis came on, "Mr. Rogers, should I save that in the file 'Modern Vocabulary' for later?" Steve smiled and responded with a prompt, "Yes please." The tanned man smirked looking at Barton with a winning look which confused the other man. The blonde turned to them both and commented, "I am going back to my quarters." Promptly when he said that, he turned to exit the room, but before he turned the corner, his blue eyes looked again in his direction, shining up with doubt as the disappeared.

After a minute or so, Clint asked unabashedly, "So what's going on with you and Rogers?" Tony knew Hawkeye would catch the odd details from their combined exchange. He smirked a little and leaned back, "Why should I tell you Barton? Why don't you mind your own damn business for once." Hawkeye whistled and held up his hands in a defensive gesture, his eyes looking in mirth, "Well, nevermind then. Who crapped in your cornflakes, Mr. Iron bucket?" Tony frowned and pinched the bridge of his nose and replied, "No, it was a hawk. A hawk who is a pain in my ass." The other male smirked at that, but said nothing more to Tony's remark. Instead he opted to raid the fridge, taking out some of Steve's breakfast from yesterday.

Tony didn't linger much longer since Clint had pretty much ruined his moment with Steve, he only took a cup of coffee before leaving to the lab. The walk to the lab was rather mindless, easily mappable, the whole time leaving the billionaire to wonder what the blonde would have said. The moment the lab door shut he shouted, "Jarvis, darken those windows, I dont want anyone peeking through any." The windows instantly darkened without a word from Jarvis and Tony felt angry rise up as he gently placed his coffee cup down on a counter and harshly grabbed a cube in the of his desk.

"Jarvis, open the target practice simulation in Room 1, I need to blow some steam," he said and once again he heard a click from a door being unlocked, but the AI remained completely wordless. Normally Tony would have worried about that, but at the moment he only wished to use his fury on something and he sure as hell wasn't going to destroy his lab equipment. He touched a single button on the cube and the small square started to transform his right hand into a familiar red and gold combination. It was an instant iron man hand and he needed to shoot some damn targets for sure.

Steve laid on his bed and stared upward, his face changing color as he made a high noise of embarrassment, "What have I done….I should have just stayed in bed today if this was how it was going to turn out." The blonde flipped on the bed and he got a shiver as he remembered the moment, Tony…was he really about to kiss him?! Steve made a noise of frustration, what was he to do about this situation, army time had never readied him for a situation like this, nothing could have prepared him for Howard's son, not even Howard. The tall male sat up only to flop to the other side of his bed, 'what am I gonna do about this? About Tony? The dancing?' the blonde felt overwhelmed in a sudden realization, but he just couldn't do it, he couldn't teach Tony if this was happening! Did he like Tony….in that way?

It wasn't the first time he had thought this, but he remembered seeing Tony for the first time, it was like seeing Howard in an instant, the resemblance uncanny. The moment Tony spoke though, that image of Howard was blown away, this man was carefree, a wild spirit, the thought alone was aweing, but with his looks, the mirth filled smirk and smarts, Steve felt his heart practically leap. This man was interesting, that was his thought, and it reminded him of his sexuality once more. Back then though, Steve had thought, 'there is no way a man like that will ever be a possibility.' Now though, with Tony giving him obvious signals, Steve had the fear that he was misinterpreting the whole situation, that this was Tony's nature to people who helped him.

The blonde felt something hollow in his stomach and he curled in on himself, it really hurt to think about it too much. Everything with Tony was hazy, especially since this whole dance thing, he had been having fun….maybe too much. He enjoyed Tony's company, the way he had something fun to say, the way he could worm his way into the coldest heart if he tried. It was a charming trait for a charming man, and the fact that he had been so nice to Steve, it was almost scary how fast their relationship had changed. Steve then got a thought that made him feel sick, 'what if Tony was only doing this until he learned to waltz, that all that opening up and sharing old painful memories was how Tony got to people and made that connection.'

Steve didn't want to believe that, with all his heart he didn't, but that part of him deep down that knew how cruel the world can be clutched at the thought like a lifeline. Steve couldn't bear this anymore…he wanted everything to stop being this way, and like a child he wanted to flail and scream, but as an adult, he knew it wouldn't solve anything in the slightest. What was the point in trying anymore….he wasn't allowed to go on missions for the moment, because of his sleeping problem, but he was fully awake right now. He felt fully awake in every sense of the word as his stomach felt hollowed…ah, he forgot his food didn't he? Even after going through all that hard work and now heartache….he didn't even get his food that he worked hard to make?

In a sudden lurch of strength he slammed his arm down on the bed with all his might, which wasn't the best judgement and simply another reason he didn't throw tantrums, as the bed made a mighty "crack" and busted beneath him. Steve only let out a surprised yell and fell on slight inches from the ground, still on the mattress, but rolled to the middle where the bedframe had cracked, holding the mattress at an angle. He simply sighed, his head felling back onto the curved mattress and he said with a monotone voice, "Jarvis, can you order me a new bed frame, and could you tell Tony there is no practice tonight?" There was silence before he heard the reply, "I have done both for you, I have billed it to the stark tower under a John Doe name, and I have let Mr. Stark know, anything else Captain Rogers?" the blonde was silent for a moment before saying, "Can you play the movie mean Girls again for me…?" Jarvis replied swiftly, "I will put on a movie playlist for you sir, along with some movie refreshments in the fridge behind you, along with ice cream in the freezer." "Thanks Jarvis," Steve replied and was answered with, "You are welcome."

"Perhaps staying away is the best option?"

"Wait! What do you mean we aren't dancing today? What's Steve doing?" asked Tony as he put down his gun, and Jarvis replied, "He is watching from his movie playlist that you compiled for him." The brunette gave a glare to the pop up image of Jarvis, "Great, I can't even be mad at him for skipping, but I wanted to at least talk about practice-" "STARK! WE GOT AN AVENGERS EMERGENCY! WE NEED YOU TO GET YOUR ASS D-" Fury cut in from his watch, but the brunette interrupted with "Get Thor to do it! Or Banner!" Tony was overshadowed by a "STARK! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE, BECAUSE WE NEED YOU TO DECODE THIS MESSAGE FOR US, BECAUSE WE HAVE 24 HOURS OR SOME PEOPLE ARE GONNA DIE AND BANNER IS UNFINDABLE AT THE MOMENT SO I SUGGEST YOU GET YOUR RICH ASS DOWN HERE AND HELP US!"

Tony made an enraged face, "motherfucker" he whispered to himself, of all the times to get distracted by Fury! "Jarvis, add the harry potter series to Steve's list, If anyone asks, I am gone on a mission, and check on Steve's sleep pattern…if he sleeps." There was silence then a, "I understand sir, I will add the series and keep my checking systems on Captain Rogers." Tony nodded then found himself wondering about Steve again as he turned to get some necessary decoding supplies, his mind wandering back to Captain, Tony had always had a thing for blonde hair, male or female, but it looked best attached to Steve Rogers. He remembered as he came closer to the blonde, the way his skin, a pristine like white neck. Unmarred, untouched, sensitive, Tony growled at himself and got pissed, pushing that thought away, because of stupid Clint and his habit of coming into conversations at the absolute worst times! The brunette packed his shit into a bag along with a bag of coffee and went down to his lab to start the decoding process, it shouldn't take 24 hours, but it would be a great deal of work, and it was still the morning. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose as he put everything into a bag and made his way downstairs with his frustration evident.

"What was he going to say?"

Aryes: So guys, interesting development? Did you like your sexy revenge (slightly petty too because it's Tony). So here is the new questions~

What should happen when Tony comes back from helping Fury and Steve is done with his movie playlist?

a) Some jealousy from one of them talking to someone else having a good time?

b) Someone propositions one of them in public and gets media attention

c) Steve starts avoiding Steve in the weirdest ways possible, making every avenger a little pissed and amused

d) Steve, to avoid Tony, goes on an adventure in town, while Tony snoops in Steve's room for curiosity sake and finds interesting items (its a secret)

Well, here's the options, please choose your favorite ones~ That way I can have fun making the next chapter~ I love reviews~ Thank you so muchhhhh~~ Till next time~ 3 more chapters left~
