An amazing request thank you so much!

.....................................................

Tony Stark and Steve Rogers were best friends. Even after the accords and Bucky's past the two had managed to salvage some of their friendship. Now there was very few things they would fight over, who ate the last pop tart was key (but Thor usually won those arguments). However, there was one thing that managed to divide the hero's almost every day. Her name was (Y/N). She was a SHEILD agent who spent most of her time watching over the Avengers on the orders of Fury himself. At first it was clear she wasn't impressed by her skills being used for babysitting but after developing quite a strong bond with the group of Hero's she learned to enjoy the time spent at the tower. The only problem being both the Super solider and Billionaire had fallen for her.

Of course, Tony had been flirting since the day she arrived, however this seemed to hinder him as now he was actually serious about how beautiful he found her, she didn't take it seriously. Steve was just as bad, he never seemed to be able to find the words needed to express what he felt. A million times he managed to create both long and short letters containing his inner most attraction to the (H/C), but they had been scrapped.

Tony was becoming more and more frustrated with his inability to address his emotions with sincerity, and he too had taken to writing them down. Both the bins in the lab and gym we filled with crumpled pieces of paper. Their contents being professions of love that no one had the courage to say out loud. (Y/N) herself didn't seem able to decide who she was closer to. Often she asked why she even need to know which man was a closer friend till it became apparent both had caught her romantic interest.

SHEILD made it clear relationships inside of work were not a good idea and so all the words that she could say were forgotten. Tony knew she would prefer Steve and Steve knew she would prefer Tony. All parties were forced to pretend not s feeling of romance was present.

Doing chores was the least glamorous part of the job. Still once a week, the whole tower had to be made spotless on Steve's orders (military training never left him). (Y/N) had decided to clean the gym as it would take the smallest amount of time and effort. After moving around some equipment and wiping mats down, the young girl move to empty the bin. She grabbed the bag and pulled it out, taking note of a ball of paper escaping the bag. Once it was tossed she returned to grab the escaped trash. However, when she noticed Steve's writing was all over it the feeling of curiosity over took her and she uncrumpled to ball. The writing was neat and cursive but seemed frantic, like he couldn't get down all the thoughts he had quick enough.

Dear (Y/N),

I have only known you for a month but it seems like longer. Every time you enter a room my heart almost stops and I lose focus. Remember when I was sparing with Bucky and he managed to give me a black eye? Well you had just walked past the window and my mind may have been a little distracted from the fist coming at my face...I know your job doesn't let indies relationship happen but I want you to know how I feel. I hope you don't find this awkward and I hope I didn't ruin our friendship but I need to get this off my chest. Another man has the same emotions as me. He wishes to tell you as well and I don't doubt he will soon. Tony is much more acceptable then me and I wouldn't be surprise if he is the one you choose, just know that I love you.

There was a long black line through the paragraph showing he had given up on those words but she hadn't. Every feeling that was pushed to the back of her mind was suddenly re-emerging and there was little that could be done to stop it. Tears welled in her eyes but she was smiling. Just then the door to the gym opened and Natasha walked in.

"I was cleaning the lab and found this in the bin...good luck" she handed (Y/N) a piece of yellow lab paper and winked before walking out.

Quickly she smoothed it out and scanned the page.

Hi (Y/N/N),

Listen I know I spend most of time flirting with almost every girl that looks my way but you have to understand my feelings. When you arrived, I thought you were so pretty which is why I kept hitting on you but after a while I realised you weren't just pretty on the outside. Your mind is something so perfect and every thought you have seems to give me life. I'm not very good with this wordy stuff so I have to just say it. I love you. Like actually, I really mean it. I know there's some kind of competition with me and Blondie, and I think he would be better for you. He's mentally stable and able to give you a better relationship then I ever could. Just know I'll always love you and-

Then he scribbled through the rest. Both of them loved her and she loved them both. Grabbing both pieces of paper (Y/N) jogged upstairs. Everyone but the pair she was looking for was in the living room.

"Where's Tony and Steve?" her voice rushed.

"Roof I think?" Clint replied.

Her heart skipped a beat as she raced for the stairs. Sure enough the two were on by the Quinjet having a rather energetic discussion. Tony was using a lot of and movements and Steve had his hands on his hips like the sassy man he really is. As she got closer their words became clearer.

"Look I don't know how much you like her and all but I can't put my feelings down!" Tony almost yelled.

"I understand that Tony but both of us need to accept that fact that she won't acknowledge how we feel, and move on" Steve's voice was calm but he seemed upset.

Tony moved to the edge and ran a hand through his hair. Slowly she approached.

"Hey guys?" her voice sounded a little chocked up.

Both of them turned to her and their eyes widened. Then se realise the tears falling down her face.

"(Y/N), what happened- " Tony's words stopped when he saw the note's "where did you get those?"

"Trash, and Natasha"

"Have you read them?..." Steve looked away.

"Yeah, guys I love you too. Both of you" she walked forward and kissed the both of them.

Together they stood on that roof and watched the sky. All feelings finally at rest.
