He hadn't seen him in a few days, he couldn't lie about it. He was worried, he hadn't heard from him in a few days. Or seen him at school, and he felt like too much of an outsider to ask Bruce or Rhodey about his situation. He felt like it wasn't his business. It didn't make him care less, though. Steve slyly picked up his phone in class and decided to text Tony one last time before leaving him alone if he were to not answer. He hoped it was nothing he had said to offend the boy, he wouldn't know what it was but he was scared there was something. But that wouldn't exactly explain why he wouldn't be at school which he hadn't been for 4 days.

hi Tony

I hope you're okay, if you've seen these messages then you can tell that I'm worried about you

respond to me whenever you got time c:

Steve sighed deeply as he looked out the window he sat by, the history class was the longest class of the day. And Steve would often doze off during the class, he let his mind wander freely. Not feeling any shame. He had an empty sheet of paper in the very end pages of his book that he let his pen glide over, mimicking what his mind thought of on the paper. The bell rang and it alerted every student to rapidly pack their things, it included Steve as well. He looked down at his drawing and he took a sharp breath, delicately picking it up.

Holy hell. I didn't know I was this good at drawing.
And how detailed I managed to make Tony's face, Tony's face...I can't believe I drew his face.

He's...he's absolutely gorgeous. Fuck.
Steve thought as he stared fondly at the drawing. Natasha Romanoff, Tony Stark's close friend, was in the same class and saw Steve staring at a drawn picture of her friend. She had never seen it before, so she immediately deducted that he had drawn it himself. She smirked and walked over to the blond, she did know Bucky pretty well. They used to do ballet together about 4 years ago.

"That's a very accurate drawing." Natasha spoke behind him, he jumped and instinctively hid the drawing behind his leg by holding it behind his back.

"I...I-I was bored-no I didn't draw it." He insisted, Natasha rolled her eyes.

"Pick one of those in the future. It would serve you well," She smirked at the blond as he felt his face heat up, he stuffed the drawing in his backpack. "I won't tell Tony about your crush. Your secret is safe with me."

Steve didn't answer the red head and hurried past her, he was one of the first people to exit the classroom. He had his last period in 10 minutes, that one he had with Sam. Steve felt weird about carrying a drawing of Tony in his backpack, but he was so proud of it. He didn't want to throw it away, so he figured he'd bring it home with him and put it on his drawing wall. Where he put up drawings and paintings that he himself made. He couldn't help but keep thinking at the drawing and connecting it to Tony's face, he felt good when thinking about Tony. Even just imagining him made him smile to himself.

It's..dumb. It's been like a week or something. Fuck. Goddamn like-Steve. Why do you always wish for the things you can't have? Fuck. I think I have a goddamn crush on Tony Stark. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Steve rolled his eyes at himself while he walked to his locker to put back his history book and take the biology ones, he had already finished the assignment so that lesson would feel like child's play to Steve and the others that finished it early. What those students did instead was help others that hadn't finished it, the biology teacher always let students finish their assignments in school if they desired. People often had trouble with it and if the students needed the help the teacher would give it to them, everybody loved her. Steve was one of them, because not only did she have understanding for everybody's different ways in learning but she was also very nice and witty. One could joke about her, thus also creating a bond with her students and making them willing to learn. Even Tony, the boy that constantly got bored in lessons 'cause he found them too easy, liked her lessons and really respected her.
