The airport was busy and bustling with activity. Tony stood by Steve, patiently awaiting his answer. Steve was trying to do everything he could to avoid giving him that answer.
Steve had dwelled on it for so long his head hurt. He could tell Tony that yes, he would allow him to love him, and they could return back to their everyday lives and be comfortable and happy. But, they would be dealing with the judging eyes of their peers, and Steve didn't know if he was ready for that. If he said no, normal life would ensue, but Steve would still be tortured daily by his feelings for Tony. It was a lose lose situation.
"You owe me an answer," Tony told Steve softly. "I want to know before we board the plane."
Steve turned to him. "Tony, I have feelings for you. I do. But you know as well as I do that we cannot take this back home with us. Fury and the others, they won't want to hear it. We will never be free from their judging eyes and snide remarks. So Im sorry, but the answer is no."
