For Brooke's Sake

No warnings

Steve's Pov

There's no way in hell I was actually going to sincerely apologize to tony. I had only told Brooke I would to ease her. He had crossed a line and he knows he did, I've seen the way he looks at brooke. When they were dancing together last night, I saw nothing but RED. He was looking at her like she was the only person in the room, as if Brooke was his. But she's not. She's mine. Brooke doesn't see it, but it doesn't take a genius to see that he's in love with her. I'd be lying if it doesn't boost my ego, knowing he's craving something that it doesn't belong to him, that he wants to touch someone who's untouchable, that he wants to kiss someone unkissable, who wants to love someone who's completely and devotedly in love with someone else... ME.

Brooke will never love tony, her loyalty lies with me. But it doesn't mean he won't try, but i will be here to remind him, the girl is mine and only mine.

I walk into the lab, and sure enough I see Tony sitting at his desk, drinking his morning coffee, he looks up to me and he sets his mug down.

"Rogers, i would say good morning but it depends if it will be a good morning or do i have to go put my suit on?" He snarks.

Why is he pissed?

He's lucky i didn't bring my shield down here with me

"That won't be necessary, I came down here to apologize, I shouldn't have acted the way I did last night, I approached it the wrong way. And hopefully we can move on from this for brooke's sake, she's very fond of you, she sees you as a mentor, almost like a older brother if you would." I couldn't help but to be petty in the end. I have to make him see that Brooke will never see him the way she sees me. He gives me a look like he doesn't know whether to take my half ass apology or not, but his eyes fall to the floor like he's taking my words in.

For brooke's sake

"Yea you were a dick, but since you're taking responsibility for your actions that overshadowed my charity event, i think we can see past this." Tony says as his eyes rise up to meet mine as he gives me a nod and a slight smile. I grit my teeth together, forcing a smile, trying not to show his dick comment bothering me, I give him a nod back.

"I hoped your charity event was successful, even if I disrupted it, it wasn't my intention, but I'm glad we talked it out. If you excuse me I have to get ready for my meeting with fury and hill, I just wanted to apologize beforehand." I tell him as I try to turn to make my way to the door.

"It's okay cap, water under the bridge, it was indeed a successful night." He says as he gets up from his chair.

"Oh before you go, send my greatest gratitude to Fury for his wonderful donation he made for hill and carter. I asked if he wanted to dance with his favorite avenger but he said he'll pass." He says with a sarcastic tone and a slight smirk.
