It's just coffee with Tony Stark, it'll be fine.
Thoughts like this are racing through my mind. Why though? Why has my sweat seeped through two of the shirts I've already put on? Am I really nervous about Tony? We've spent lots of time together! It'll be fine... Right? Coffee. Just coffee.
I finally put on a solid black shirt and pick up a light jacket to cover my sweat if it becomes noticeable again. I grab my keys off of my nightstand, and just breathe slowly.
"It's just Tony, it's just coffee. Chill the fuck out Rogers."
I walk outside to my car and lethargically get in, trying my best to not sweat anymore than I am. I blast the AC despite the crisp air outside and start towards Tony's home. I grip the steering wheel and millions of things fly through my mind as I blankly drive.
Is this a date? Yeah, yeah it's a date. Does he think that? Does he even know I'm gay? Do I even know I'm gay? I've never dated a guy before, that's gonna be an awkward conversation for the future. Do I pay for both of our orders? Oh god, did I bring my wallet?
I bring one hand off of the steering wheel and pat my left pocket.
Yeah I brought it. Does he even drink coffee? Maybe I should've suggested a movie... No, that might have been coming on too strong. Shit I'm still sweating.
I awkwardly raise my arms so the skin on my armpits isn't rubbing together while keeping my hands on the wheel. The only time I've felt like this before was right before dinner with Peggy's parents. I was so nervous, but of course it went great. Almost everything went great when I was with her.
No, don't think about her. Tony. Think about your date with Tony.

Anyone down for a 314 word chapter? Nice change of pace from the 1200 word ones, eh? Haven't updated since October... And it's almost April. WOOPS. I've had this scrap of a chapter sitting in my drafts since December, so I'll publish this little bit to let you guys know there may be a chapter a week again 😉 I'll reread the book and see what happens.

Hayran KurguTony Stark is basically a dork. Not your typical dork, though. It wouldn't make a good story if he were a typical dork. He has only two real friends, he has a name for himself around the school, and he smokes pot. He tries to not be 'typical'. Tony...
