Steve kissed Tony and gave it his all. As if Tony would disappear into thin air at any moment.

"Steve..." Tony breathed, pulling back a little. "Ronan...I- he's my- I can't-"

"I know he's not your boyfriend, Tony" Steve said, leaning down and leaving marks on Tony's neck.

"What? How did you...Nat...god dammit, why did she suggest a dinner with him if she was going to tell you?" Tony sighed.

"To let you feel like you accomplished something throughout the entire charade?" Steve suggested.

"I mean I still think we did a hell of a job. You believed it til Nat went and told you everything" Tony shrugged.

"Are you busy tomorrow?"

"I have a meeting in the morning and I have to uh...stop by a colleagues house with Tasha and sign off on some paperwork. But I should be free after 6" Tony said.

"Great. I wanna take you out" Steve smiled.

"Sure. Sounds swell" Tony nodded.

"So which colleague's house are you going to?" Steve asked, nuzzling Tony's jaw.

Tony cleared his throat awkwardly. "Ross..." he managed.

Steve pulled back immediately to look Tony in the eye. "Are you serious?" He frowned.

"Unfortunately" Tony looked away feeling a little guilty.

"Even after today? Why the hell are you going there?"

"To sign stuff saying that you guys aren't staying here and that I haven't been in contact with you guys. Don't worry, Tasha's gonna be there with me too"

"Tony signing stuff like that is really dangerous. I don't like it"

"What other choice do I have? I'm not gonna hand you guys over and let them have their way"

"No better than handing yourself over!"

"I'm just one person, it's fine"

"Tony-" Steve sighed. "You shouldn't just give yourself up automatically like that anymore. We should think this through first, come up with a plan"

"I'll be fine," Tony told him. "Listen, you and I both know I have an impeccable ability to get out of any situation. Everything's gonna be A Okay"

"Okay, remember what we discussed?" Tony asked as he and Natasha approached Ross's house.

"Don't kill him, even if I've come up with a perfect plan to get away with it" Natasha answered.

"Yes," Tony nodded, munching on the last bit of the donut he'd gotten on the way there.

They walked up to the door, rang the bell, and a few seconds later they were greeted by a maid. "Welcome Mr. Stark, Agent Romanoff. I'm Lenora, I'll be at your aid today" she introduced herself as she let Tony and Natasha in.

"Nice to meet you" Natasha smiled.

"Mr. Ross is waiting in the living room" Lenora said.

Tony and Natasha walked over to the living room and they found Ross sitting and drinking some coffee while reading the paper. When he looked up, he finally saw they'd arrived.

He put the coffee and paper down on the table next to him. "Tony, Agent Romanoff. I'm glad you're finally here" he stood.

"Of course you are. Just give the papers so we can sign them and get this over with" Natasha crossed her arms.
