Fire And Ice (Steve And Tony)

Confused.

The next morning, Steve woke up before Tony. He stretched and looked over at Tony, who was all sprawled out on the bed, laying on his stomach. Steve tried to stifle a smile but he couldn't, because it was rather cute. He grabbed his phone and snapped a quick pic.

Steve changed and brushed his teeth in the restroom, and then Tony woke up. He walked in the bathroom, hair tousled. "Thanks for not waking me, Rogers," he grumbled.

With a chuckle, Steve shook his head. "It's not like we have a deadline. You can sleep as late as you want. If you're still tired, head back to bed. I don't mind."

After both of them were freshened up, Steve was about to head to the kitchen, but Tony stopped him. "Let me ask you something. What will your parents think about us not being affectionate towards each other?"

"We are," Steve replied slowly, not sure what Tony was getting at.

"Yeah, with like a hug and subtle hand touches. But they haven't heard us say 'I love you' or kiss or anything."

"Tony, do you think it's necessary to kiss?" Steve knew he sounded exasperated.

"I mean, it doesn't hurt," Tony said, leaning against the wall.

"Okay, fine, but you make the first move," Steve said stubbornly.

Obviously not afraid, Tony grabbed Steve around the waist and full on kissed him. Shocked, Steve's eyes went wide and then closed and he kissed back, slowly. His arms encircled Tony's neck, and the kiss deepened.

Pulling back, Tony had a smug smile on his face. "Your lips aren't too bad, Stevie. That was nice."

Steve rolled his eyes but he knew he was blushing. "Don't get used to it, Stark," he murmured.

With a smirk, Tony left the room.

************************

Steve was in the shower, listening to a CD when he started to think. Why had he agreed to kiss Tony? His mind was whirling. Was he really pretending to be his best friend's boyfriend? What had his life come to? He was so confused.

Washing his hair, Steve was startled by the bathroom door opening. Tony walked in, completely clothed but oblivious to the fact that the shower was on.

"Tony, what the fuck!"

Tony laughed. "Calm your dick, Rogers. I just came to brush my teeth. Besides, I can't see you through the glass. I can just see the outline of your ass, but not your entire ass."

"Just get out!" Steve growled.

"Nah, I gotta brush my teeth first." With a smirk, Tony brushed his teeth and then turned off the radio before walking out.
