"Shit" Steve cursed under his breath as he rummaged around in his gym locker. He'd forgotten his gym bag in his school locker.
Steve dried off the best he could before wrapping his towel around his waist, sighing. "It was early, nobody else should be here" he murmured, trying to reassure himself.
He made it to his locker without incident, celebrating in his mind that he'd made it. Steve grabbed his bag and walked quickly back towards the locker room.
Steve wasn't paying attention when he rounded the corner, running into another person.
The quarterback had a good reaction time and caught the other person by the shoulders before they both fell, steadying himself and the other person.
"I am SO sorry!" Steve began to apologize profusely, forgetting he was just in a towel.
Tony had managed to escape the house early, slipping into the school with a relieved sigh. Nothing weird happened here. Or at least he thought. Until a six foot two wall of flesh and towel ran into him with no warning.
He was shocked still, his eyes wide and cheeks pink. Ah hell, it was the quarterback. The...naked quarterback.
"I...what..."
Steve flushed, letting go of the other boy, hand going to the back of his neck sheepishly. "Sorry. Forgot my bag" he offered, holding up his gym bag.
Tony couldn't help the laugh that escaped. "Please tell me you were in the showers here and not at home"
Steve just stared at him a moment before laughing hard. "Yes. Here." He finally said, shaking his head.
"Well you get run over by a naked man and tell me if YOU wonder how long he had been walking around" Tony huffed, amused.
"Fair enough." Steve laughed "Just let me get changed" he said, skirting around Tony. "I'll be right back." He said, heading for the locker room, face still flushed.
Tony laughed again. Nodding as he stepped the last few steps to his locker.
Steve dressed quickly, rubbing his hair with the towel, it was sticking out everywhere but he didn't care. After tossing on his letterman jacket he jogged back out to find the boy he'd run into.
Tony grinned. "I see you found your clothes" he chuckled, slamming his locker door shut.
Steve smiled,"I did," he said, fixing the bottom of his shirt. "I'm Steve" he offered, holding out a hand to shake.
"Tony" he smiled, thanking Steve's somehow smooth hand in his.
"Nice to meet you." Steve said, smiling brightly.
"Nice to meet you too, even if you did skip a few steps" he teased.
Steve rolled his eyes "I back tracked"
Tony just laughed again, feeling relaxed for the first time in a while. "That you did."
Steve smiled, nodding, "Well I have some studying to do, so I'm going to head to the library...see you around?" He offered, backing up slowly as he talked.
"See ya" Tony waved slightly. "Careful walking backwards"
Steve just laughed, shaking his head again, turning the correct way and heading towards the library. Tony smirked, turning back toward the computer lab.

It was lunch time before Steve spotted Tony again, this time eating alone in the cafeteria. Steve frowned, he walked over, not sitting down.
