Say Love - James TW
Tony and Steve lay in bed together with no clothes. Tony's head on top of the hard bare chest of Steve while his hand traced random lines on it. Steve's hand was brushing against his curls, inhaling Tony's scent as if it was oxygen.
Tony looked up to Steve's face. He's beautiful. He always thought he was lucky to have Steve. And now that he thought about it, he probably didn't deserve Steve. He started to ponder about his relationship with Steve. Is it healthy? Yes it was. Is Tony happy? Yes he was. Does he see a future with Steve? Yes? Maybe?
He didn't know what to think anymore. This relationship is too good to be true. Isn't it? He tried to find reasons that Steve would be with him. Money, maybe? Tony shook his head a little. Steve would never do that.
What if Steve left him? Tony would never heal if that ever happened. He was falling too hard and he knew he would not survive the impact if Steve didn't catch him. He didn't want to think about what he would do if that ever happened. And he doesn't have to. Not when Steve promised not to leave him.
Tony tried to convince his self that Steve would never leave him. That they'd get married one day. But he just couldn't help it. What if he messed up again? What if--
"Tony? You alright? I can practically hear the gears in your head," Steve looked down to Tony's fluff of hair. He held Tony's hand on his chest.
Tony looked at Steve again, his lips first then to his eyes. "You'd never leave me right?"
Steve's eyebrows scrunched up with confusion. "What?" He said as if he didn't hear it the first time.
"Never mind." Tony tore his eyes away from Steve.
Steve sighed. "Tony, look at me," he said in a soft voice. "Please," he pleaded when Tony didn't look at him at first. His partner looked finally looked to him. "No, I would never leave you. I didn't leave you before and I wouldn't now." Steve murmured against his forehead and gave a little kiss. "I've been with you for more than a year now and I will be for every single day you wake up."
It was true, they've been going strong for a year and 3 months now. There were just these thoughts that invaded his mind. He kept trying to convince his self that he shouldn't be scared, but he was.
"I love you Tony."
I love you Tony. He froze. His hand stopping fron drawing lines on Steve's chest.
It was the first time Steve had ever said that to him. Love is such a strong word, but it was probably the most accurate description of what he felt for Steve.
"You don't have to say it back if you don't want to."
"I... I love you too Steve." The words rolled off his tongue as if he was so used to saying it and this wasn't the first time. Sure, he said he said those words to other people, but this was Steve. Steve is different from all his lovers. He really did love Steve.
Tony shifted a little and gave Steve a kiss. It was long, sweet and passionate. It didn't suggest any sexual intention, just a kiss full of love. Tony's hand travelled to the back of Steve's neck when he felt hands caressing his cheek. They went on like that for a few when they pulled away from each other and stared to each other's eyes, they're bodies relaxing to the warm feeling of their body being pressed together.
Tony knew Steve is never gonna leave him. No matter what happens, they'd stay together.
