Chapter 10
My poor genius
After their first date they come closer. Steve takes Tony to some fancy places and buys him small gifts but they have the best time when they do fun things Tony recommended like going for stargazing in the highest place of the city.
As Steve spends more and more time with the young genius he realizes how screwed he is. He thinks of the boy all the time and whenever they're together he feels lighter. Now that he's alone in his office and reads a note Tony gave him for the first time he knows that he's falling for the boy. He's falling hard and fast.
It's kinda scary. Specially for Steve who has spent his entire life caring only for himself. Sure he loved Bucky but not like this. This is new, different.
He looks away from the note and sighs. What should he do now? Can he give his heart away like that or should he just leave? No, no he can't leave. The thought of leaving Tony and breaking his heart has the blond going mad. He can't do that.
He looks back at the piece of paper on his desk and he knows he can't walk away this time. And as he stares at Tony's soft handwriting he realizes that he doesn't want to.
He counts the hours till the end of the day when he'll be able to go meet the teen. When finally, finally, he finishes his work he runs to his car without any words and drives to the cafe.
For tonight Steve hasn't any plans. He just wants to take Tony to his place and hold him. He finds the boy waiting outside dressed in a simple green t-shirt and old jeans.
The moment he sees him his smile grows. Tony gets in and leans to kiss his cheek.
"Hey" Steve says softly.
"Hi" Tony answers in the same tone.
"We're having a movie night at my place tonight. " He let's Tony know.
"Awesome" Says the brunet and leans back in his seat.
They reach Steve's penthouse. They don't talk and that's an other thing Steve loves about the boy. Even when there's only silence it's comfortable and relaxing not awkward.
Tony sits on the couch as the older man prepares the snacks.
"Doll! There's a blanket on the table make yourself at home! " Steve shouts from the kitchen.
" Ok! Do you have chips? " Tony shouts back.
"Of course chips, pizza, popcorn and lemonade" Steve answers coming back to the living room.
Steve sits on the couch pulling the brunet in his arms. "So" He smiles to the boy " We're gonna watch Star Wars. I've never watched it and everyone says I should. " The brunet just nods and rests his head on the billionaire's shoulder.
They're at the end of the second movie and as Steve's ready to click play on the third he notices that the teen's fast asleep in his arms.
For a moment he's afraid that his heart will explode with all this cuteness. Tony seems even younger when he's sleeping. He's mouth is slightly open and he makes soft noises.
Steve sighs softly and picks him up. He takes him to his bedroom. He puts him slowly on the bed and pulls a blanket over him before laying down himself. As he looks at the boy he can't help it but whisper "I love you".
