Chapter 10 {Forelsket}

Forelsket - A euphoric feeling experienced when you start falling in love

~~~

Tony and Stephen made it through the portal that he had made, of course, bringing Levi with them on Stephen's shoulders.

They were in a stall in the boys bathroom, thankfully there was no one in there. Both of them trudged out of the bathroom quickly and made it to the lunchroom.

Tony glanced at Stephen, "Let's not oversell our hatred, yeah?" Stephen shrugged.

"Sure, whatever you say, Anthony." Stephen grinned and walked into the lunchroom, immediately being hit with the sound of loud voices and horrible school food.

Tony huffed, "Well, screw you too." The boy mumbled under his breath and followed him, splitting up to go to their own tables.

"Ayee, Tones!" Clint called him over with a wave and a smile. He walked over gracefully and sat down.

"Thought you skipped?" Rhodey spoke up, confused, asking the same question that everyone else had.

"I did, and i am. But i came to see my favorite pals! Hey Bruce, got any extra lunch?" Tony spoke with a smile, glancing at him. Bruce went through his lunchbox, he didn't like school food, no one did.

Bruce grabbed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and handed it over to his friend. Tony accepting it happily.

"Thanks, Brucy boy." The boy patted the others back in a thank you, chuckling.

"Did i miss anything?"

"Like you care," Nat scoffed with a smile, scanning Tony.

"You're right." He spoke in a surprised way, changing it to careless quickly, "I don't."

Tony's table went back to talking amongst themselves again, Tony zoned out for a bit, occasionally finding himself glancing back at Stephen's table, which was a decent distance away from them.

A few times Tony caught Stephen glancing back.

It only took around 5 glances for Rhodey to notice, unfortunately for him, he pointed it out.

"Ey Tony, who are you looking at? A cute girl?" Rhodey asked with a playful grin, he knew he was glancing at Stephen.

"What? No, I'm looking at no one, get your mind out of the gutter, Rhodes." Tony swiftly replied before noticing his friends went silent and were staring at him. It made him nervous.

"So, you're looking at no one?" Natasha replied with a brow raised.

"Yeah, who else would I be looking at?" Tony narrowed his eyes with a smile to play it off.

Finally, Loki stopped eating his food and spoke, "And it just so happens that Stephen skipped the same day that you did?" He added calmly, his gaze upon the other.

Clint laughed at the statement, almost spitting out his water in the process.

"You also walked in the lunchroom at the same time that he did." Nat pointed out, Clint clapped his hands together.

"We need ship names for these two!"

Tony face palmed, noticing a few people from other tables were glancing at them, Tony enjoyed attention sometimes, but not this kind.

Stephen glanced at his food, only taking small bites of an apple, unlike most of his lunch group, he stayed pretty quiet.

Steve noticed quickly.

"Hey Stephen," the boy grinned playfully, "how's the bet coming along?"

"Pretty well, actually. It's hard to like his company when he has such a big ego." Stephen replied, easily playing off their friendship.

"Yeah? Mhm...sure."
