This was supposed to be awkward. Walking through Central Park on a bright spring day, there's nothing awkward about that. But holding hands with the man the world knew as Iron Man—the infamous Tony Stark—now that was supposed to be awkward. Yet despite everything his brain was telling him, he couldn't push away the calm that surrounded him.
As Tony grabbed his hand, Steve immediately began to blush. They were in public! Coming from his sheltered 40's perspective, this was supposed to be the most awkward, strange, thing for the world to see. But no one paid any notice except him as he felt Tony's fingers lace themselves with his, squeezing slightly against him, almost as if Tony realized how uncomfortable this could be from him.
And that support, turned what could have been the strangest moment in his life, into the most blissful he'd ever known.
