On your way out you run into Steve whos face looks half flushed, but in attempt to shut it down as he talks to some boy in his mid-teens.
"So kid, where you from?"
"Queens, sir"
"Who's this?" You ask politely
"Oh- um- hey, my name's Peter Parker, but you can call me Peter" he offers you his hand shakes yours vigorously.
"Hi Peter I'm-"
"Y/N Barton, The Eagle, yeah I know" he grins.
"Peter was just telling me how he's doing an internship for Tony"
Peter enthusiastically explains how he landed the internship but seemed hesitant to tell you the full details, but you didn't question it. He then tells you how he came to "check on Mr Stark and see how he's doing. After all the press incidents going on, he wanted to stand by him"
"Parker" Tony sticks his head around the side of his door and summons the kid
"Well I got to go, nice meeting you"
You both watch as he waddles over to Tony.
"Nice kid, it's see why Tony keeps him" Steve says and you laugh "look Y/N, I know you don't know where to stand with me right now and it's not your fault it's mine, I should have been clearer in what I wanted"
"So what do you want?"
"I want whatever you want. I want to know who and what you choose"
"To be honest Steve, I don't even know who or what I want anymore" this was half the truth, because you knew who you wanted now but you just didn't know what you wanted from it or why.
"So I guess that means we can just be friends again" he says assuring but with slight disappointment.
"Right, just friends".
