Fire And Ice (Steve And Tony)

Lonely.

Steve didn't know how to tell Tony about everything that he was feeling. He didn't want Tony to think he was a freak. But the truth was, he had developed feelings for his best friend. He wanted their relationship to be real. However, he was certain that Tony wouldn't feel the same way. And Steve was tired of being lonely.

Steve had always been lonely. His relationships had never lasted more than a few weeks. He wasnt sure why, that's just the way it happened.

"If only..." he whispered to himself, looking over at Tony sleeping on the bed, breathing deeply and evenly. Steve began to pace (he did that a lot when he was worried).

His pacing awoke Tony, who rolled over and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "You're unnerving me. I'll have nightmares of people pacing now."

Steve rolled his eyes. "Go back to sleep, it's only noon," he teased.

"I can't sleep now, your stomping is too loud," Tony grumbled.

Steve sat on the edge of the bed. "Do you think we should keep pretending?"

"We kind of have to, don't we? I mean, the whole we reason we started all of this was to have your parents believe something."

"What if...we made it real?"

"You legitamently want to be my boyfriend?" Tony's eyes went wide, eyebrows raised.

"Didn't I just say that, Stark? I'm tired of being lonely."

Tony seemed to contemplate what Steve had said for the longest time. "Well, I can't deny that I am attracted to you," he said after a hesitant pause. "And we are trying to convince your parents...why not make them believe with the real thing?"

"Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, actually," Steve said, nodding to himself. "And it is what I really want. I wrestled with the idea of telling you, but now I'm glad I did."

Tony walked to him and took his hands. "Who is going to make it official, you or me?"

"I will. Tony Stark, will you be mine?"

With a smirk, Tony tossed his head and then looked at Steve. "Sure, since you asked so nicely," he said, then leaned over and pecked Steve's lips.
