The Darkened Night Sky 06

It Never Feels the Same

...Right?


It just started with everything going downhill for him when he was young. Not loved, his parents dying, being treated like a doll by his father. He hid it all away behind a fake personality. No one noticed, no one seemed to care. Only one person seemed to crack the shell with one question, but even then, it was hidden away…but the darkened night sky was evident enough to tell them all something was wrong. What could bring light back to the darkened night sky? Steve/Tony


He was never going to be the same again...

He was never going to smile again...

He was never going to laugh again...

And the tears just kept falling from his eyes...

He had to do something...

Before he was broken forever...


Rogers was horror stricken. He didn't know what to do as he laid eyes on Tony; it was just a horrible sight. He swallowed and moved closer, stopping as the 'darker' Tony put out his arm. A smirk was there, Rogers could tell, as he had an attack ready. "..." He picked up his shield and held it tight to his chest. "I'm not going to let you feed him any more lies!" He hissed softly. Well, this is one of those times that he was mad for sure. He glanced at his Tony on the ground and bit his lip. "...I can't let you get hurt...anymore. I'm sorry...I couldn't help you before..." He closed his eyes and swallowed.

"You shouldn't lower your guard!" Rogers's eyes snapped open before he was hit on the side of the head, and sent flying. A laugh came from the darker one and he smirked. "You want to save me from the darkness? Lies... No I don't think so. You weren't there to help and you made this worse you know! Maybe it was your fault...well actually...heh. I remember things that my other self also remembers. I could not compare to you... Father knew I couldn't so I was nothing to him!"

Rogers flinched and looked at him, feeling bad, but he couldn't have meant it. "I didn't know! Why, how would I know that? I was still frozen in ice!" He hissed and the other darker self laughed and shook his head. He didn't reply, but looked down at his other self. He sighed, and closed his eyes for a moment. Tony didn't move, he looked sick almost, the tears just kept falling. Rogers shook a little before he slowly walked over to him, shaking. He ignored the dark Tony as he walked over. He set his shield down lightly as he did not want to get attacked again. He had to do something. Now.

"...Anthony..." Rogers swallowed and then slowly knelled down next to him. He was shaking, both of them were shaking. He swallowed and ran a hand down his back in a way to comfort him, or he hoped. A flinch. He sighed softly and then brought his arms around him, pulling him close to him. "Anthony..." No comfort. He bit his lip and kept holding him close. "Anthony please...I'm here to help you..." He whispered softly. No response. He just stayed like that, crying softly. "...come on we're going to get out of here..." He moved and picked him up. This was just so not right; Tony didn't act like this, yet with what was happening he was changed. He was changed, and Rogers didn't know if it was good or not...

"Do you really think I'm going to let you get out of here?"The darker one spoke and walked around Rogers, who just tightened his grip on the one in his arms. The darker one sighed then and stopped, looking him right in the eyes. "You know…I wonder, who are you really in love with? Are you in love with the fake personality…or are you really in love with me?"Rogers didn't know what to say to that. Now, he was even questioning himself on that.

"…I don't know…but I do know…I care." Rogers replied then and tightened his grip again. "I am a Captain, and I don't let anyone hurt those I care for. Even if you might be him, but you are in another sense. You still hurt him. I can't let that stay. He will not stay here under your control. I cannot allow that to happen to him…he doesn't deserve it to happen to him…" He closed his eyes. "He doesn't deserve you hurting him more than he is already hurt!" He picked up his shield and looked at the darker half. "And now, I'm getting him out of here…"

"It will never feel the same…"

"I don't care."


The dark half of Tony was right. It didn't feel like the same home anymore. It was different, so...so different. He was reserved again, but now there were no smart comments. He wasn't himself at all. He never showed emotions but the ones that broke everyone's hearts to see it. Even Thor was worried by now and was like the others as well, not sure what they were supposed to do.

Even if it wasn't the same… Rogers couldn't give up on him. He couldn't just leave him alone to be in this pain all by himself. Finally, he cracked and went to go check on the other male.

"Anthony." He spoke as he entered the room. The said man looked at him, no expressions. Nothing at all. He sighed softly then walked over to him, running a hand through his hair. He kissed his forehead, treating him like a little kid. He sat down next to him then. "How are you feeling?"

"Fine." A reply that was quick, not even considered at all. Rogers frowned then hugged him lightly. "I'm fine, stop worrying about me…I'm perfectly, perfectly…fine." There was no heart in those words and it pained him to even say it. He felt bad by it as well; he didn't mean to hurt anyone but… Then, he was kissed, roughly, but passionately. Tony groaned before he kissed back and closed his eyes slowly. This felt right, but he didn't want to keep feeling at all. He groaned and then felt a hand traveling lower on his body. He shuddered but didn't go back on it.

"Anthony…" He had no regrets as he began to strip the man of his clothing slowly. Tony looked up at him, shuddering. He had to do this; he had to do something to help the man out, if with this then it was worth it. He stripped both of them and then licked his lips lightly. "Oh Anthony...I'm sorry..." He whispered softly. "But, this is for both of us...you need to...stop being like this...and...I know this will show you how much I care." He kissed him deeply.

The smaller one groaned before he kissed back, wrapping his arms around the taller ones neck. Feeling. He could feel it. Rogers smiled and then nipped at his soft neck. Of course though, they had to be interrupted didn't they?

Um...Mr. Rogers...Mr. Stark I'm afraid that Mrs. Potts happens to be coming to the room...

"Then lock the door JARVIS." Tony replied and then kissed Rogers roughly on the lips.

As you wish sir.


Pepper frowned when JARVIS told her that she could not open the door and that Tony had locked it for some private time. Private time? Hadn't he had enough of that yet? She sighed softly and sat down on the couch in the living room as she waited for clearance to his room.

"Hmn. Pepper?" Clint blinked as he walked into the room. "I thought you were going to see Tony..." He trailed off.

"I couldn't he locked the doors..." Pepper sighed softly and Clint blinked before blushing a bit. He would never dare tell her of what he was thinking.

"O-oh I see...well. Rogers went to talk to him so he'd probably be overwhelmed if you both were talking to him..." He commented and then smiled at her weekly. He was hiding something, Pepper knew that. Why was he hiding something about her boyfriend from her? She crossed her arms.

"Clint. Spill. It."

"Uh...well..."


"Ah." The pant made Rogers shiver as he nipped at the toned flesh before him. He ran a hand down the side of his soon-to-be lover, as the other hand lightly moved around the lower areas. It seemed he had broken the shell that had changed everything again. He was glad that he could, even if it was by doing this. "Rogers..." He shivered again, the other male was arousing him more than he would have thought possible.

"Shh...Anthony..." Rogers murmured and lightly pressed his hand down against the others entrance, making the latter stop and shudder. Rogers smiled lightly and then slowly pressed a finger inside.

"G-gah..." Despite his playboy appearance, he clearly had never been on the bottom. Well, that was an interesting fact. Then again Rogers doubted that Tony had ever done it with a guy before... Not like he really blamed him. He never thought he would find himself in this situation with the billionaire below him, moaning and writhing. "R-rogers..." He bit his lip.

Softly, Rogers kissed him. "Easy now Anthony..." He murmured and moved the finger around slowly. "It will feel good soon...don't worry..." He whispered softly. He smiled weakly as the other nodded a bit and then glanced away, shuddering again. His body never felt like this before... "I'm going to add the second now..." Came the reply and Tony nodded slowly, slightly scared. He felt the finger push in and gasped softly, gripping harder at the strong shoulders before him. "Shh…it's alright…" A light kiss to the lips. This was odd to have Tony before him like this. He wasn't the same, but he felt…good that the other wasn't being snide about this.

Rogers was doing all he could to keep himself from taking the other right now. He couldn't help it, he was…so… There wasn't a word he could think of. He quickly finished preparing the other before removing his fingers slowly. He took a deep breath then distracted the other with one final kiss, before pushing into him. A groan, a loud pain filled groan. He winced and stopped. "Anthony I ca-"

"Don't. Stop." It was a simple request, but it was all Rogers needed. He took a deep breath and then nodded, waiting for the other to tell him to move. Once he got the nod, he started to move inside the other. He was tight, really tight. He took a breath and kissed down the others neck and chest as he trust into him. Tony groaned, moaned, cried out for him, anything really. It made Rogers shiver, it was different, it was so different. "Ah…R-rogers…" He groaned and gripped at the others strong shoulders in his hands. He closed his eyes. Feeling. He could feel again. Had the shell of being broken been broken? He wasn't sure. He didn't know. He just wasn't sure at all.

But he wasn't broken.

He wasn't broken like that anymore.

"Anthony…" A kiss sealed the deal between them. It was now about both of them, to be there for one another. But, that would all end wouldn't it? There was just that feeling that something would go wrong, it was there, and it wasn't about to go away.


A/n: I dunno. This might be the last chapter, or I may continue on. I'm not to sure since well, this is a good ending point. However, I do have something that could possibly make it keep going but I'm not sure...

If someone could maybe give me an idea? And well I'll be honest. This was one of those Fanfictions that I never anticipated to write...so I never thought ahead to well.

So yeah. Though this might not be my last Stony fanfiction. I don't think it will be because I have good ideas for them...mostly oneshots though. Anyways, I should go along now and work on the many other fictions I have to finish. But remember, tell me any ideas that may help with something or if I should end this.
