Going For Gold

People probably thought that Steve Rogers didn't see those tweets about him. They were wrong.

Being an Olympic swimmer, he knew he was going to be thrust into the public gaze but he never expected the public to... Thrust back too. Seemingly every time he took to the pool, someone was sending out a tweet about him.

Tony Stark: Can we change the name of the Olympics to The Steve Rogers Show please? #GoCaptainAmerica #GoUSA

The latest tweet that popped up actually made him laugh. He really couldn't understand why this verified account had such an obsession with him. He clicked on the profile to learn more about Stark. He turned out to be big in the technology world and even acclaimed himself to be a genius in his bio. Steve couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He scrolled through more of the man's tweets, some about the Olympics but most about technological developments. Clearly the man only invested his time in the swimming events. a few made him chuckle as Tony appeared to have s good sense of humor.

Tony Stark: Why do the other swimmers even brother getting in the pool when Steve Rogers exists #GoUSA #GoCaptainAmerica.

He hated the Captain America title people were sticking on him but he'd learnt to deal with it. While rubbing a towel through his damp hair, Steve favorited the tweet in the hopes of pleasing the fan. He'd been told he had to keep a positive persona with people that liked him.

Only seconds later the man tweeted again,

Tony Stark: Steve Rogers himself just favorited one of my tweets. Someone pinch me? (Why didn't anyone tell me he had Twitter?) #CaptainAmerica

Steve rolled his eyes and slipped his cell back into his bag. He was walking back out to the showers when he bumped into the UK teams Tom Daley. Star struck, Steve only just about managed to stutter out a request for a selfie. A couple hours later he tweeted it,

Steve Rogers: Can't believe I bumped into this amazing athlete, @TomDaley1994! So humble and kind! Gotta remember that it's not all about winning but also about strengthening bonds!

Tony Stark gasped when he opened up the linked picture. Steve with his well muscled arm around the young diver: everything he dreamed of. He immediately favorited the tweet and follow the UK's Daley.

"Jarvis? Get me on the line to the Olympic council... I think I need to get a sponsorship for the remaining swimming events... At whatever the cost."

When Steve stepped out into the pool for another training session his eyes widened to see the sponsorship posters around the arena had changed overnight. They'd been swapped from Samsung to Stark Industries. He blinked in confusion and tapped Phelps' shoulder.

"Does the name Stark ring any bells for you?" Steve asked, puzzled.

His teammate shook his head and went to warm up. Steve was about to join him when a voice from the seats made him turn.

"Well, it should ring some bells." The man was leaning over the railing with a smirk on his face.

It took the swimmer a moment but he eventually recognized the man. He'd scrolled through his Twitter the previous day.

"You're the guy from Twitter." He stated, eyeing the good-looking man up and down.

He nodded and chuckled, "Yeah... I admit that my tweets can be quite shameless but I only speak the truth." His eyes wandered down the Olympian's firm chest.
