Enjoy this short story. :)
Robert
"My question is for Robert Downey Junior. So, what's with that sexual tension between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers?", One Reporter asked. "What sexual tension?", Robert asked back. He wanted to avoid the issue at all costs. Some time ago he had realized that he had fallen in love with his younger co-star Chris Evans, but he knew he didn't have a chance anyway. That's why he didn't do anything in that direction. "I mean the way they look at each other, touch each other, talk to each other... It's obvious that there's some sexual tension." "Well, I don't know. Maybe it is true, maybe Tony really loves Steve and not Pepper, but Cap is a perfect example for America, so I don't think he loves him back." He felt the others look at him, but he didn't looked at the others. "What do you say about that sexual tension?", the reporter asked Chris now. "I think Steve loves Tony back. I mean, he cares a lot about him. He may not always show it but he does. I would say that there's a chance, that these two could get together." He swallowed. He wished that this could be true in real life, not just in the movies. He wished Chris would love him back, but he knew he didn't.
"My question is also for Robert Downey Junior. Is this tension really just acting or are you in love with Chris Evans?" He sighed. "It's just acting. Me and Chris, we're friends. Good friends, but there's nothing else." His heart ached when he had said this last few words, because he had lied. He saw Chris looking at him and he looked back. For a short moment he saw sadness in these blue eyes, but then it was gone and Chris smiled at him. He told himself that he had just imagined this and smiled back. This were the last question. For the last three hours the cast was answering questions and some were really funny. But he was glad that it was over now so he could bring some distance between Chris and himself. Being near Chris made him go crazy because it hurts knowing that he would never love him back.
At the Afterparty
He saw Chris and Scarlett hugging and dancing around and he felt the jealousy in his bones. He told himself that he shouldn't be jealous, because Chris wasn't his. And he knew that Scarlett and Chris were just best friends, but that didn't meant that it didn't hurt.
Chris
"Chris..." Scarlett huged him. "I'm So sorry." He smiled sadly. "It's okay. I knew that he wouldn't love me back. But that doesn't mean that hearing him say it didn't hurt." Scarlett looked at him worried. "Are you going to be okay?" He sighed. "Yeah. I mean, I have my best friend by my side." He smiled and kissed her cheek. She laughed a little and pulled him to the dancefloor. He smiled. That was just typical for Scarlett. "He's watching us. Well more you than me. Are we going to make him jealous, or..." "Scarlett. You know what he said." "Yeah. But I think he lied, because the way he looks at you is different." He looked over where Robert stand and saw that Scarlett was right. "I'm going to talk to him." Before he went over Scarlett said: "Don't get hurt again." "I'll try." With these words he went over where Robert was standing. "Can I talk to you Robert?" "Yeah... Sure... What's up?" "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Robert
Chris came over to talk to me and I got a little nervous. "Can I talk to you Robert?" "Yeah... Sure... What's up?" "Why are you looking at me like that?" I swallowed. "Chris... I..." Chris interrupted him. "Why? Tell me. You say you don't love me but you're looking at me like that. Why?" Chris was looking him curiously. "Well. I can't explain it.", he answered. "Then try to." He sighed. "Okay fine!" Before one of them knew what was happening, Robert had leaned forward and pressed his lips again Chris'. He was scared that Chris would push him back, but was surprised when Chris just pulled him closer and kissed him back like there was no tomorrow. "Chris... I... I love you."
Chris
Before he knew what was happening Robert had pressed his lips against his. He pulled him closer and kissed back. "Chris... I... I love you." He looked at Robert surprised. "You do?" Robert smiled sadly. "Yeah. I'm sorry for saying that I don't. I really do. And I know you don't, but..." He interrupted him. "I love you too." Robert looked at him surprised but happy. "You love me back?" He laughed. "I love you back." He hugged him and then kissed him again. "Yeah! Finally! You could've cut that sexual tension between you with a knife!", Scarlett was shouting over. He pulled an arm around Robert who was just leaning in the touch. And that was the beginning of their story.
