I don't know if either one of them really likes pie, but Dean does (from Supernatural) so it just kind of stuck with me. Anyways here ya go, I tried my best to keep them in character because those are my favorite kind of fics, but I don't know how it worked out... hope u like, let me know!

"Hey." Tony ducked into Steve's apartment.

Steve passed him a cup of coffee as Tony propped himself up on the counter.

"You know one of these days I really should turn you from my door, make you go face one of these women." Steve grabbed his own cup of coffee and sat on the counter opposite Tony, their knees practically kissing.

"No way you could turn me away Steve, you'd miss these morning talks too much" Tony smirked, "plus it would be hard to keep me out, I mean considering you got me a key and everything." Tony smiled at the key sitting next to him. He thought it was all very adorkable that the man had gone out and gotten him a key and then had it painted red and gold, Tony's favorite colors.

"Yeah, I guess I would miss our morning talks, still... I don't know Tony, the girls. It feels wrong what you're doing, leaving them to wake up to an empty apartment."

"I leave them a note!" Tony defended, which of course only earned an eye roll from Steve.

"Look, man, we've had this conversation a thousand times before. Steve, they know that I'm not... they know what they're doing and what's going to happen, I'm always perfectly clear about that okay? I never lead these girls on and make them think there's more than what there really is, they know that that's just the way it is with me." Tony shrugged.

"I distinctly remember you telling me last week that you were an old fashioned guy, you wanted the house, the picket fence, the kids running around and the perfect marriage, huh what about that?" Steve was eyeing Tony, "how are you supposed to get all that with one-night stands? Especially when you can't even face the girl in the morning?"

"Alright, buddy let's just change the subject yeah?" Tony asked, head rolling back.

He was tired, Steve could tell. But as much as he wanted to let his buddy rest, he couldn't leave the subject alone. It was in Tony's best interest.

"Stark. We've been changing the subject for months" Steve forced himself to continue, "I just... I went along with this," he said with a little wave of his arm, indicating allowing his neighbor from across the hall in his apartment complex to use his place as a secret hideout, "because I thought it made you happy, and I'd do anything to make you happy... but this isn't what you want man, it's just you filling a void."

"Oh, and you know what I want, huh!? What void, exactly, do you think I'm filling Rogers?" Tony's voice was rising in anger, he had come here to hang out with his neighbor, the man who had become his best friend, not be attacked by him.

"I don't know, but last week you made it pretty clear it wasn't what you have going with those girls," Steve replied, his voice too rising in anger, he just didn't get why Tony was so stubborn, couldn't he see that Steve was just looking out for him?

"...Do you have any of that pie left? The pie we made Saturday night?" Tony asked, breaking the awkward silence that had enveloped them.

"Umm... yeah, it's in the fridge..." Steve mustered up. He hated fighting with Tony but he knew that sometimes Tony needed to hear these things, and Steve figured it would be best if it was from a friend, something he hoped he had become to Tony in there time spent together.
