 "Capsicle can't stop staring at you," Tony whispered as he handed you a drink he had gotten for you.

"Yeah?" You questioned, looking around to try and find Steve.

Tony chuckled as he brought his drink up to his lips. "You two are so whipped for each other."

You playfully smacked Tony's arm. "You're so rude."

"Yet, I'm still your best friend."

"That could easily change."

"Sure." Tony rolled his eyes. "Why don't you just find the Old Man and lay one on him? We both know that he doesn't have any moves."

"No," you shook your head, "I-I couldn't do that. No."

"Come on! Get some liquid courage and just go over there!"

"Tony, it's been a long few months of missions. I'm just trying to enjoy this party you decided to throw for another hour before I head to bed."

"Party pooper."

You turned around and immediately rammed into a large chest. Calloused hands came up to grab your upper arms to keep you steady. You slowly looked at who was holding onto you, meeting Steve Rogers' caring blue eyes.

"Sorry," he mumbled, almost nervously.

"It's okay," you replied softly, getting lost in his eyes.

"Just have sex already," Tony muttered. He stayed put, watching his two friends as he smirked and took careful sips of his drink.

Steve quickly dropped his hands to his sides and cleared his throat. "Are you—have you been enjoying the party?"

"Yeah, you?" You responded.

"Me too."

"That's good," you nodded. You both stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do next. "Well, I'm... I'm going to head to bed."

"Oh, yeah, okay."

"Good night, Steve. Tony."

You rushed away to the elevator. You got in it and turned to see that Steve was talking to Tony. You ran a hand down your face as the elevator doors closed, feeling so embarrassed about how awkward you are.

Tony was currently laughing at Steve about how awkward the two of you were. "That was just sad," Tony laughed.

Steve groaned looking down. "I just don't know how to act around her. She's so... she's gorgeous and brilliant and her fieldwork is incredible. And she could do so much better than me."

"Honestly, Cap, I will deny ever having said this, but she can't do any better than you. You just need to man up and ask her out. I promise you that she'll say yes."

"I just don't know what do to or when or—"

"You're overthinking it. Just ask her out to a drink or lunch in the Tower cafeteria or something."

"Yeah," Steve nodded, "Okay. I think I could handle that."

"Hey, Y/N, wait up!" Steve called out as he jogged to catch up with you.
