Tony Stark had a real dislike of Steve Rogers.
His "All American, Goody Two Shoes" attitude made him sick. He's such a prude, and always ruined Tony's fun. He was too serious for his own good, and was completely clueless about anything from the 21st century. It was like explaining things to a child. And it didn't help that Howard never shut up about the guy when Tony was growing up.
That bastard.
Tony straight up disliked Steve.
But if this was true, then why was Tony currently macking face with the guy?
Tony figured it was just because he had a few too many shots of whiskey. This sort of thing was the norm for him. Steve however wasn't able to get drunk because the super solider serum affected his metabolism and blah blah blah. So it confused Tony that Steve was kissing back. It meant it had to be of his own free will, right?
The kiss was rather sloppy, but the two both began to increase their interests in each other's lips. Tony was actually starting to enjoy this contact.
But wait!
Tony didn't like Steve, right? His tall, muscular frame?Those baby blue eyes that always stared back at him, commanding and driving him insane? The way he cooly lead the Avengers team into battle, even under the most extreme of pressures?
He hated that!
... Right?
Their lips parted from the kiss. Tony looked back at Steve, only to see him breathing heavier than normal. He said something to him, but all he heard was an unintelligible slur of words. Next thing he knew, Steve pulled him up and was helping him walk to somewhere. Tony's room most likely. Even Tony could tell he was drunk off his ass.
As they were trying to walk to his room, Tony lost his balance and grabbed onto Steve. What he felt was sort of soft, but incredibly firm. He looked up at Steve's face to see it red with embarrassment. Tony looked back to where his hand had grabbed to catch himself. He had grabbed himself a handful of Steve's rump. He giggled like an idiot when it finally clicked what he had done.
When they made it to Tony's room, Steve helped Tony to his bed and laid him down. He started to leave, but Tony grabbed onto his hand, pulling him back towards him. Tony tried to say something and it kept coming out as a slurred mess. Steve's face had a look of confusion until about the 5th time Tony tried to spit out what he wanted to say.
"Stay ...here with me Steve... Please stay...".
Steve looked surprised for a split second, but then shook his head.
"No Tony, you need to get some rest.".
He turned to leave again, but Tony still had a hold of his hand. Tony pulled Steve's hand towards himself and rested it on his chest, where his ARC reactor was. He looked up at the blonde, deep brown eyes wearing a slightly pleading look.
"No. Stay here with me...". His words continued to slur, but he sounded a little like a pouty child.
Steve gave Tony a disapproving look, but then sighed with defeat. He went to sit on the other side of Tony's bed.
Steve just stared at Tony, trying to figure out what he was playing at. Granted, he was REALLY drunk, but Steve had been around him plenty of times during his drunken escapades. None of them have ever ended up Tony kissing him out of nowhere and actually wanting Steve's company. When he was sober, Tony did nothing but bicker and disrespect him. He clearly had some problems with Steve for some all that though, Steve really admired the man.
For all the shit he talked, Tony was easily able to back it up. He was brilliant, and all the things he designed and built constantly left Steve in awe (though he rarely showed it to keep himself from looking like a complete idiot). Tony always seemed to be a glutton for punishment though. Disobeying orders in the field ticked Steve off a bit. The working for days on end without sleeping and the drinking himself to death made Steve feel terrible for him. Seeing Tony push himself basically to his last breath made him feel sad for the brunette.
He wanted to help him, but Sober Tony would never admit to needing help from anyone, especially Steve.
So why was Drunk Tony clinging to him, begging him to stay?
