What is this?

Chapter thirteen

Steve was nervous. He was fixing his hair, checking his breath, looking at the clock all the time. Every now and then he scolded himself for not getting anything, for example a flower. If it was a date, he had already messed up. Finally the door or Stark mansion opened.

"I'm going now. Not sure when I'll be back", Tony yelled inside to his parents.

"Have fun", Maria answered.

Tony turned to face Steve, suddenly feeling flustered.

"I, uh, should we get going?" he looked away from Steve.

"Yeah! Yeah, sorry.." Steve hesitated: "You look good."

Tony's eyes widened, he could feel a blush forming on his face. Tony was wearing jeans along with a black shirt, on top of that he had a thin coat.. Steve on the other hand had on jeans, white t-shirt and a thick brown leather jacket. They walked to Steve's motorcycle.

"Here's your helmet. Should you, uh, get a warmer jacket so you won't freeze?" Steve gave Tony a spare helmet.

Tony clicked the helmet on: "Nah, I'm good."

Steve wanted to say no, but ended up nodding. They got on the motorcycle, Steve started to engine and they were off.

--------------------------------------------------

They got to the science fair. Tony shivered a bit.

"I guess you were right about the jacket", he admitted.

"Here, have my jacket", Steve took of his jacket, placing it on Tony.

He headed towards the doors while Tony just looked at him in awe.

"You coming?" Steve turned to Tony.

"Oh yeah, coming", Tony smiled, grasping on to the jacket.

"Tickets please", the doorboy said.

"Right, here", Tony gave their tickets.

"Thanks. You can find info pamphlets right when you walk in. Please enjoy", the doorboy sounded like a record playing over and over.

"We will", Tony grinned at Steve, then hurried inside.

Steve smiled back warmly following Tony.

Tony's eyes were wide like puppy's. He was like a child meeting their idol for the first time.

"Oh god, we have so much to see! Where do we even start?" he basically glowed.

Steve couldn't help but smile at the sight. He didn't really know anything about science, but it was okay. He was just happy to see Tony full of joy.

"Steve, we have no time to waste! C'mon", Tony grabbed Steve's hand and started to lead him.

Steve was gonna just follow Tony and enjoy his company. Anything Tony wanted to see or test, Steve would agree to. And Tony wanted to see and do A LOT.

They sat for a moment, planning what to do next.

"Hey, is there anything you'd like to see?" Tony asked.

"Hm? Not really. I'm okay with anything you want to do", Steve shook his head.

"Are you sure? I mean you bought the tickets, so I don't want the day to just be about things I want to see or do", Tony said.

"Well, I bought the tickets for you. I'm not that into science myself anyways, so I really am fine with your plans", Steve assured.

"So.. You're not having fun?" Tony sounded somewhat sad.
