“Nope we all have to go escpially you” Nat was trying to convince Steve why they had to go to the gala but of course he had “More important things to do.” Steve hated going to events like this cause they were useless to him and he would have to see Tony surrounded by flirting people and he hated everything about that.
Steve had tried so hard to swallow these feelings he had for Tony. At first it was nothing, he just thought his 100 year old body was going crazy but then it got way worse like thinking about Tony every breathing second.
When seeing Tony his body would just shut down completely like the whole world would just stop. And Steve hated it cause he knew no matter what happens he won’t ever get Tony stark.
“Hello cap!” He hears Nat say snapping him out of his thoughts.“Oh um yea okay I’ll go” Focusing on Natasha's face she looks at him with a grin on her face. “Is there a reason why you don’t want to go or maybe someone” She leans on the counter in front of where Steve is sitting. Something in him knows that Nat is on to him.
”What no i just- just don’t like party’s!” Steve knew that wasn't remotely close to the truth but he couldn't say the truth.On queue Tony walks through the elevator with Pepper.
“Okay i think those are in my lab” Tony grabbed the tablet from Peppers hands as she moves towards the lab. “Morning,coffee?” Nat says pouring coffee into a mug but everyone knew what the answer was already. “God please” Tony replies, grabbing the cup making eye contact with Steve. Steve quickly looks away ever since he started to fall for tony he could not even look him in the eyes anymore. He was scared that his eyes would say it all.
“I’m gonna um go for a run” Steve says, staring at the floor while heading towards the elevator.

“God what is wrong with him today?” Tony was confused why Steve wouldn't talk to him or even look in his eyes anymore these days. Did Steve know how Tony felt?. Tony had like Steve for a bit.Mean come on look at Steve his fucking hot who doesn’t want him.
“I think he’s just in his head today” Nat replies, walking to take a seat next to Tony. “Is he coming to the gala tonight or does he have ‘Other things’.” He had missed the last 5 galas cause he had other things apparently. “Nope I’m making sure he’s coming today”
“And how are you gonna do that?”
“I already talked to him and he said he’ll go so i all ready did”
“Impresive i have to say.Congrats”
Natasha gets up bowing waving her hands like if she was in some pageant. “Do we still have to wear a suit or?” Clint says jumping out of the vent that's on the roof making Tony jump. “Jesus Clint, how many times have we said to not jumpsacre us like that!”
“Yes Clint we have to dress formal no jeans got it?” Nat points at him giving him a glare. “Yes yes oh what’s for lunch?”

Steve has been running for about 4 hours; he just couldn't sustain those thoughts knowing he could never be with Tony. He had never fallen for a male before.He didn't know what he was supposed to do all he knew was that he wanted Tony.
Heading back to the tower Tony’s car wasn’t there so he knew he must had left early. Steve wishes he had the gut to tell Tony how he feels.
There he was.Tony was still here. Nat was fixing up his tie. But all Steve could think of is he wished that was him fixing Tony’s tie, Leaving together,walking into the gala hand in hand. Gosh he really wants a life with Tony Stark.
”There you are well the hell were you?” Tony says looking at Steve waiting for an answer but Steve forgot how to talk. Tony looked amazing in his tux. He always looked amazing to Steve. His cheeks started to heat up as he made eye contact. Tony raised his eye brows still waiting for an answer. Nat gestures for him to start talking. “I um i kinda of um”
“Okay go get ready” Nat says rolling her eyes.
Steve could not believe how foolish he was acting.Never did he think he would act like this just because he was in love.He got into the shower before heading towards his room to get ready. A knock came from his door as he zipped up his pants. “Come in!”
And of course it was Tony. He gazes over Steve’s body which made Steve feel very nervous for some reason.“Um i think we should talk” Tony says moving away from the door now leaning on a wardrobe Steve has in his room. “What do we need to talk about?” Steve grabs his button up from his closet avoiding eye contact with Tony.
“What is going on with us?” Tony takes out the tooth pick that was hanging from his mouth looking frustrated. “I don’t know what you're talking about, we seem fine to me” Since he noticed that he was falling for Tony he started to act differently. He couldn't bear to look at Tony knowing he could never have him. So he kept on pushing Tony away.
“What do you mean were fine!” Tony raises his voice, anger filling it. Steve gets his tie struggling to put it on, Tony sees his struggle and stomps over angrily helping him. And Steve lets him, obsessing over the way Tony focuses on adjusting it. All Steve wanted at that moment was to grab Tony, hold him, kiss him but he couldn't. Tony stomps away in anger leaning back on the wardrobe. “I don’t know what you want me to say, we are fine.”
“Enough Rogers! Stop it. We aren't fine. You won’t talk to me,every time I enter the room you leave. You won’t even look at me!” He yells
“Tell me what’s going on!”
“I can’t”
“Why Rogers why?”
“I don’t want to ruin are friendship i don’t want to lose you” Steve whispers at the end. Before he can say more he hears Banner from the outside say. “Stark,Rogers we’re heading out.”
Before Steve can say more to Tony. Tony heads out the room. “You already have” Tony whispered as he slammed the door, leaving Steve there regretting not telling him how he felt. He hated himself to see how much pain he has caused Tony.
Tears started to fill up in his eyes before he could stop them.Why did this have to happen?. Now he’s lost Tony, how will he ever fix this he thought, overthinking everything that just happened.
“Steve?” Nat says opening up the door. Steve quickly wiped his tears away fixing up his jacket making sure no one saw him like this. “You alright wanna talk about it?” Nat places a hand on his shoulder trying to comfort him.He places his face in his hands shaking his head. “I messed up Nat I messed up so bad”
“What happened?”
“I-I’m in love with tony and i know i can’t have him so i kept on avoiding him cause i just couldn't bear it. and I hurt him Nat, I lost him.”
“Are you joking who wouldn’t want to be with you? And what makes you think you can’t have him when you haven't told him how you feel”
“You think he’ll listen?”
“Just try to talk to him tell him how you feel i promise you I’ll be worth it” She pats his back walking towards the door. “Now c’mon you gotta get your man”

Walking into the gala it was packed with people. It was for sure gonna be hard to find Tony. Tony had left with Banner and Thor. Steve wasn't sure if he told Tony he loved him that he would say it back but he was willing to try.
“Hey Cap, are you okay?” Behind him he heard Bruce asked.Steve was looking around waiting for Tony to come into view. “oh um yea.Have you seen Tony?”
“Oh yea last time i saw him he was over there talking to someone” He pointed towards a area next to a door. Steve was on his way immediately. Speed walked towards Tony but was stopped by Sam. “Hey Cap i was looking for you man” In the corner of his eye he sees a guy on top of Tony.
His tony.
Tony was trying to get out from under him but the man’s hand was against the wall practically trapping him. Steve’s worse nightmare happens, the guy leans in to kiss Tony but he moves his head trying to push him away but the man is stronger. So instead the man kisses Tony’s neck. And Steve sees red.
Running towards them he yanks the guy off of Tony. “What the hell do you think you're doing huh?” He yells at the man and that grabs people's attention. The man moves closer still trying to get to Tony which was stupid to try to do. Tony grabs Steve’s wrist and the touch burns on his skin. Steve can feel that Tony is obviously frightened as he trembles slightly behind Steve.
The man tries to grab Tony’s hand but of course Steve is faster pushing him hard as he almost stumbles to the ground. “Touch him again i swear you won’t be able to walk on your own” Steve says as the guy tries to get in his face.Who would get in the face of Captain America? Was he that stupid?.
“You really gonna do all that for this little whore back there” He pushes Tony and that was Steves queue, Steve gives the guy a pretty decent punch right in the face. The guy falls to ground Steve’s on top of him immediately and punches him more and more.
“Steve stop it’s not worth it.” He hears Tony say and Steve stops. Tony grabs Steve pushing him up,leading him towards the balcony. Agent hill and Nat are on the guy putting him under arrest right when Steve is off.
The cold air hits right when there outside on the balcony. Tony’s hand was on his lower back but Tony moved it crossing his arms, Tony was only in his button up since that stupid guy took it off.So of course Steve takes off his Jacket putting it on Tony like the gentleman he is.
“Thanks”
“Listen Tony the way i acted wa-.”
“Steve-”
“It was out of character but I couldn't let him touch you and say those words to you cause i-”
Steve looked down trying to get the confidence to tell Tony how he really felt and why he was avoiding him. “Steve?”
“Cause i love you Tony. I have loved you for so long and i was scared of it cause i know you don’t want some one like me and i just thought maybe avoiding you would help me lose the feeling but i can’t and if y-.”
“Steve!” Tony says before Steve kept on going.And for the first time in a while he looked into Tony’s eyes without the agony and pain. “Yes?”
“I love you too..” Tony says leaving Steve in shock. His heart felt so full those words were the ones he was waiting for. Steve pulls Tony in letting himself go. Every thought that was in his head was now gone. All that he could think of was that he loved tony and tony loved him.
“Oh god Tony I love you so much” Steve says in the croak of Tony’s neck. “Who knew Captain America was such a sap” He leans up, staring into Tony’s eyes as he chuckles. Tony’s eyes were glimmering as they got closer their lips almost touching, “May i ?” He wraps a hand around Tony’s hip. Tony nods and Steve takes no second longer leaning in and letting their lips touch.
Gosh Steve has not felt this good in so long. The kiss started gentle at first but got deeper. Tony opened his mouth letting Steve in.he feels Tony smile ino the kiss. “As much as i hate to do this i think we have a crowd” Tony says as Steve tries to lean in not wanting the kiss to end. He looks at the window behind them seeing a few of their friends as they all flee noticing they’ve been caught.
Looking down laughing feeling so much joy. “How about this we ditch this party and go somewhere a little more private huh?” Steve’s face heats up at the thought of having Tony in his bed and I think his body likes that idea as well.
“I think we can do that” He grabs Tony tighter pulling him in again leaning into a kiss. This kiss was more hot and erotic then the first.
“I love you so much” Steve tells Tony again, giving him a quick peck.
“I love you too but we need to go now” Tony says, pulling Steve to a door by hand.
Steve came into this gala with so much worry and now he was leaving with a full heart and a weight lifted of his shoulders. He finally told Tony how he felt and tony felt the exact same. And his life could’nt be better.
Tony pushes through a door leading towards the exit. “FRIDAY bring the car in” Tony says the car pulls up almost immediately. Of course Steve opens the car door for Tony.
—
Once they got in the elevator of the tower. Steve was on Tony. He couldn't stop himself. He needed to feel Tony’s lips on his. Their lips touched deepening until they were breathless. “I didn't know you were this wild” Tony says out of breath against
“I’m just getting started sweetheart” Steve replies Tony breaths hitches as Steve’s hands wrap around his thighs lifting him up effortlessly. Steve walked out the elevator with Tony in arms. The kiss was full of lust and hunger for each other.
Steve opened the door with one hand and Tony in the other. He lays Tony on the bed he takes a second to look over Tony. He grins before lust takes over his body. Applying a kiss to Tony's neck he grabs Tony’s shirt ripping it open making Tony groan. He trails kisses down his body making Tony moan arching his back.
Steve’s hand came up to cup Tony’s jaw, thumb brushing over his cheekbone. “Tell me what you want.”
“Everything.” Tony’s voice was quiet, certain. “I want everything with you. But maybe start with this.”
He tugged at Steve’s waistband, jeans sliding lower on his hips. Steve’s breath stuttered as Tony’s fingers found bare skin, tracing the line of his hipbone with maddening precision.
“Your turn to be seen,” Tony whispered.
And then Steve’s jeans were being pushed down, Tony’s hands warm and insistent, and the night air hit his skin, and all he could focus on was the way Tony’s eyes traveled over his body like he was memorizing a map.
“Jesus,” Tony breathed. “You’re so beautiful it’s actually unfair.”
Steve’ response died in his throat.
Tony rolled on top of him, straddling his thighs, skin to skin now from chest to hips. The weight was grounding, the heat electric. Tony leaned down, mouth hovering inches from Steve’s.
“I want to feel you,” Tony said, voice dropping low. “But
I also want to take my time.”
His hips rolled, slow and deliberate, and Steve’s hands flew to Tony’s thighs, gripping hard. The pressure was perfect, the friction through their remaining clothing enough to make stars burst behind his eyes.
“Tony—”
“Shh.” Tony pressed a finger to Steve’s lips. “Let me take care of you.”
The next kiss was slower, deeper, a languid exploration that left Steve breathless. Tony’s tongue traced his lower lip, his teeth grazed the sensitive skin, and all the while his hips kept that steady rhythm, building heat with every pass.
Steve’s world narrowed to points of contact: Tony’s mouth on his, Tony’s hands splayed across his chest, Tony’s cock pressing against his through two layers of cotton. Every nerve was alight, every sensation amplified.
“Tony…”
“Yeah?”
Steve’s hands slid up Tony’s back, pulling him closer until there was no space between them, no air, no thought. Just heat and skin and the weight of years of longing finally breaking.
“I need you,” Steve said, the words rough, honest. “I need all of you.”
Tony’s breath caught. His hips stilled.
And then he was reaching for the bedside drawer, fumbling one-handed while his other hand stayed pressed to Steve’s chest, feeling every rapid heartbeat. The drawer opened with a soft click, and Tony’s fingers found what they were searching for.
“Lube or condoms first?” Tony asked, holding up the bottle in the dim light.
Steve’s fingers closed around the bottle, his other hand catching Tony’s wrist, guiding it down.
“Condom first,” Steve said, voice low. “Then lube. We’re doing this right.”
Tony’s smirk flickered in the dim light. Steve shifted beneath him, rolling them until Tony’s back met the mattress and the weight settled differently, more deliberate. Tony’s legs fell open without resistance, knees bracketing Steve’s hips as if the position had been waiting for them all along.
The glow from the reactor cast blue shadows across Tony’s collarbones, the arc of his throat. Steve traced the light with his fingertips, following its path down to where metal met skin.
Steve was looking at him, really looking, at the scatter of dark hair across his chest, the way his stomach tightened with each shallow breath.
“Your turn,” Tony said, but his voice had lost its teasing edge, gone softer, almost reverent.
Steve sat back just enough to pull his own shirt over his head, and Tony’s hands found him immediately, palms flat against his stomach, fingers spreading like he was claiming territory. The touch sent a shiver through Steve’s whole body, a tremor he couldn’t hide.
Steve caught Tony’s hands, pressed them flat against his chest. “Feel that?”
The heartbeat under Tony’s palms was fast, unsteady, nothing like the steady rhythm Steve projected to the world. Tony’s thumbs traced circles over his pectorals, and Steve’s eyes fluttered closed.
“I feel it,” Tony said. “I feel all of it.”
The kiss that followed was different than the others. Hungrier. Steve’s tongue swept across Tony’s lower lip, asking permission, and Tony answered by pulling him closer, fingers threading through Steve’s hair, nails grazing his scalp.
Time dilated. The world contracted to the space between them, to the slide of tongue against tongue, the soft sounds Tony made when Steve bit down gently on his jaw, the way his hips canted upward seeking friction.
“Okay are you ready?” Steve asks
“Born ready”
He lifted Tony’s legs and shoved up into him with a groan. Tony’s head fell back onto the bed letting out a pained gasp that led into a moan. Tony’s hands came up to grip onto Steve’s arms,his fingers digging into the muscles.
“Are you okay” Steve huffs stopping any movement.
Tony couldn’t get the words, so nodding was all he could do.
So Steve didn’t wait no longer, he shoved back inside of Tony filling him up quickly. Tony’s hands dug into the sheets, his eyes closing.
“Please..please” Tony whines out.Steve nodded trying to speed up, paying attention to satisfying Tony. “Fuck..fuck please Rogers please.”
“Tony it’s been a while since I had sex I don't think I’m gonna last any longer”
“That’s fine just do it I think I’m gonna-.”
Moving at a quicker pace both trying to find their release. The need to feel Tony more overcame Steve as he went deeper, going harder and quicker. “Oh God Steve” Tony whimpered as he pulled at the sheets harder.
“I’m gonna cum Tony gosh” Steve grunted moving faster until they both found their release. Tony’s legs shuddered under Steve as pleasure took over his body.
Steve lays on Tony as their chest are heaving,both breathless. Steve moves to the side leaning on his arm pressing gentle kisses on Tony’s arm. “Are you okay?” Steve asked,worried he may have hurt Tony. He was so caught up in the moment he had almost forgotten to take things slow and gentle. “Never been happier sweetheart,” Tony says, giving him a kiss.
Steve loved him so much. He had since the day they met. And right now he couldn’t believe that he gets to have him and call him His. Waking up today Steve never thought this was how he’ll end the day in bed with the love of his life.
