Falling In Love With The Billionaire's Son

Chapter Six

Chapter Six

Task list:

1- Wake up

2- Go to school

3- Survive the zombie apocalypse (Hypothetically speaking, of course.) also known as the 'Everyone turns on Steve and he gets beat up as many times as Kenny dies' apocalypse.

4- Convince my uncle to let us eat chocolate and soda for dinner because I had an awful day.

That was Steve's mental checklist as he woke up that morning. He was most looking forward to dinner. School could go screw itself. Steve wasn't freaked out at all. He had his friends. So he would laugh in the face of school/the mean homophobic idiots that go to his school.

-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/

The laughing never happened.

He didn't really have a chance. The minute he arrived he could feel the eyes boring into his skull. It was quite horrifying actually. These people had obviously never seen a gay person. It bothered him immensely that they were staring at him like some sort or weirdo military experiment.

He just walked to his locker, but was bombarded by two girls on the way there.

"Great," Steve thought. "Here come the insults."

"Hi!" The girl with the short dark hair said enthusiastically.

"HIIII!" The other, a girl with shoulder length caramel hair greeted loudly.

"Hi. Excuse me, I don't want to attract anymore attention to myself." He tried to walk past them but they just followed him.

"I'm Becky! This is my BFFL, Mary Margaret." The girl with caramel hair, AKA Becky, smiled brightly.

"Okay, now I need to get to class." They wouldn't let him leave.

"Fine, scream the insults, I don't care, just hurry up." He stood there and waited.

"Uh, insults? You poor dear! We aren't homophones!" Mary Margaret said in a motherly voice.

"You mean homophobes?" Steve raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, that's what she meant. Ooo, gay people are just people too! I don't know why people hate you!" Becky said with sadness dripping from her voice.

"I'm not really gay." He stated blatantly, and when their faces fell in shock he just walked off.

"Wha...?" They were both confused, but they walked off reluctantly.

"Eeeew, Emma, do you see that gay guy?" Regina drawled to her 'best friend', Emma.

"Yaaaaah, Reginaaa." Emma replied in boredom.

"Wanna go make fun of him?" Regina asked.

"Suuuure." They both walked up to Tony and crossed their arms and scowled at him.

"Eeeeeeww, you're totally gay." Emma drawled.

"What? Oh, uh, no I'm not. You're thinking of Steve, the uh, blond guy over there." Tony said with confusion in his face, and gestured to where Steve was talking to his friends.

"No we're nooooot, we're talking about you." Regina said with boredom evident in her tone.

"But I'm not gay." Tony said, getting even more confused by the lack of complete certainty in his voice.

"Riight. Come onnnn, Regina." Emma rolled her eyes and sauntered away. Regina scoffed at Tony and followed her.

"I like GIRLS!" Tony said to them.

"Yah, maybe you're bi?" Emma turned and said before leaving the vicinity.

Tony didn't say anything. He didn't really know what to say. Was he... What? He left, feeling rather... Different. He didn't like it. He didn't like it at all.

Steve had (Against his will.) found himself in the cafeteria lunch line, still facing the judgemental glares.

He had just made it through with his lunch tray before some random guy had tripped him. Thankfully his face didn't land in his food, like he'd been expecting it to.

As he rose from the floor, Steve heard insults he'd never repeat uttered by that guy. He swung his fist but found it being held back by their AP English teacher, Maria Hill.

"He's not worth it." She told Steve, who stood there as the kid he didn't even know was given detention for that afternoon. Apparently, Stark High had a zero tolerance for bullying. "I'm not actually gay." Was what he said as the guy left.

Steve just went to the table where his friends, who had witnessed the whole scene in shock, were sitting.

"You okay?" Natasha asked.

"Yeah, perfect." Steve replied.

"Hey, we should hang out at my house this afternoon." She changed the subject. "My dad bought us a Wii the other day, and I'd love the chance to play Mario Kart with anyone besides him. My mom refuses to play."

"Sure, I'm amazing at video games." Thor said proudly.

"Sounds cool." Steve agreed, happy to have his mind taken off of the gay rumor.

"I'm in, just make sure to have Poptarts to comfort Thor when he loses to this guy." Clint smirked and pointed to himself.

-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/

That afternoon, they were all playing Mario Kart. Sure enough, Thor was losing, so he'd quit playing and was snacking on the limited edition pumpkin pie Poptarts that Nat's mom had bought.

All their heads shot up when the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it. Natasha paused the game and went to the door.

"Um, hello?" Steve heard her say.

"Yes, is Steve Rogers here?" Oh no. It couldn't be... Why was this day getting worse?

"Yeah, who's asking?" Natasha said.

"You can tell him that it's," She paused and looked around Natasha, smiling when she saw Steve.

"His girlfriend."
