Alternative Reality [Stony AU]

Part I

Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America, had met Tony Stark during his very first mission in the modern world. The new world he had to live in distressed him, especially now that he had no one by his side. but with Tony he found a new home in which he felt safe and loved. They were two completely different person but they needed each other. A few years later, they decided to get married and they lived together in a little house near a beautiful lake. However, Steve recently noticed that Tony's behavior changed. He became more cold and distant each day. It was during a mission with his best friend Bucky that he finally confessed about his relationship. He told Bucky that Tony spent all his days and night in his lab and how sad he felt about it. They didn't have any interaction anymore and he was upset about it. The same day, when Steve got home from the mission, Tony was still in his lab and all the lights were off. The darkness of his own place remembered him the loneliness he felt when he didn't have Tony. He decided to go downstairs to Tony's lab. All the lights were on down there and he could see Tony's shadow through the glass door. He entered the code on the pad and got in. "Hey" he said as he walked in to find Tony. He walked between the different robots Tony had built until he found him. He was standing in the middle of a small space with a gadget on his face. Steve looked at him and asked him when he would finally get out of his lab. But the latter said that he was working. Working was his only excuse. Steve finally took his courage and told him how he really felt lately, but Tony didn't take it well. They started to argue. It made Steve sick. He hated to argue with him because he knew Tony would never apologise first. But he couldn't stop now. He needed to know why Tony was suddenly so distant and cold with him. That's when Tony asked a simple question which questioned everything in Steve's mind, but sadly too late. "Do you ever have the feeling that the reality we live in is completely false ?"
