How am I going to be an optimist

Howard Stark Jr. A brilliant scientist, inventor, and showman. He had worked on the super soldier project and was part of the SSR. The car crash nearly killed him, but Howard was never one to give up a project. Not something like the one he was on during WW2. He tried it on himself. It's the reason he's alive.

"What a bloody long day..."

"I’ll take care of that first thing Monday morning then," Steve answered softly as they continued dancing. "So… if I may ask… did you come tonight hoping to find a mate or just to see what was available?"

[alatenightfondue]

"Both?" Howard replied tilting his head for a moment before nodding.  "Both.  Because you never know Steve, may go to see what's out there and wind up finding the one you never thought to look for.  LIke a handsome young graphic designer."

Steve chuckled softly. “I like a little mystery,” he whispered playfully. “I’ve heard of your company, actually. I was going to apply for a position in the marketing division but… again… unmated omega so…”

[alatenightfondue]

"Not my rule, one by the federal government.  Really there's only one time when it is distracting to have an omega in the work place and that can easily be taken care of," Howard replied smiling at him.  "You should send in your resume anyways, can tell you're good."

The Omega Ball || Open || A/O verse

[flewintotheice-archive-blog]

He felt a slight electric sensation pass through him and then he just simply felt warm as they began to dance with one another. “Oh, well… I’m twenty-six years old. I was orphaned at sixteen and put myself through school. I have a degree in graphic design. I’ve been to only one other omega ball, when I turned eighteen, and have been avoiding them ever since. The law, however, says I must have a mate before I turn twenty-seven and no reputable company will hire an unmated omega my age so… here I am.” He was quiet for a moment to give Howard a chance to absorb what he’d said. 

"What about you?"

[alatenightfondue]

"I'm twenty seven years old," Howard said spinning Steve in a circle before pulling the omega back over to him.  "I run Stark Industries, CEO but I am also an engineer with the company researching bio armor."  He gave him a small smile shrugging his shoulders a bit.  "Some other things that if I tell you I might have to kill you so we'll keep some things a mystery yeah?"

"Oh… oh yes, of course, sir," he answered softly, taking Howard’s offered arm and allowing the alpha to lead him to the dance floor.

[alatenightfondue]

Howard led him onto the dance floor, one hand resting on Steve's waist, his other hand holding one of Steve's hands.  He started to lead him in a slow dance.  "So tell me about yourself Steve."

[flewintotheice-archive-blog]

The Omega Ball || Open || A/O verse

[flewintotheice-archive-blog]

Steve smiled again softly. “I can’t believe such a polite, gentleman of an alpha such as yourself doesn’t already have an omega bonded to him. It must be my lucky night…” He trailed off. He oculdn’t believe he’d just said that. He felt so damn stupid and his face was heating up as he slowly began to pull away from Howard. The man probably thought he was some kind of idiot… he was never going to get through tonight…

[alatenightfondue]

"Or perhaps its mine," he said giving him a smile, his hand resting on his shoulder.  "Such a handsome young omega without a partner?  My lucky night."  He looked Steve up and down, he was a handsome omega.  He offered Steve his arm.  "Would you do me the honor of a dance?"

[flewintotheice-archive-blog]

The Omega Ball || Open || A/O verse

[flewintotheice-archive-blog]

Steve smiled, taking Howard’s offered arm. “I’m Steven,” he said softly. “Thank you for your kind offer, sir. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to one of these. The last time I was just eighteen. I’ve been avoiding them ever since.”

[alatenightfondue]

Howard smiled.  "It is a pleasure to meet you Steven, and I must say I am glad that I found you then.  It has been a while since I have been to one of these myself."  He did not mention that was because of his injury.  It had taken a lot of confidence to get him there that night.

[flewintotheice-archive-blog]

Steve tilted his head a bit, looking at the offered arm then back to the alpha speaking to him. “We haven’t even been introduced, sir,” he said softly, politely. “Would you do me the honor of giving me your name first, please, before I agree to your generous offer?”

[alatenightfondue]

Howard nodded his head. "Of course, my name is Howard," he answered glad that the omega was rather polite.  At least it was fitting for the situation that they were in.  It was appropriate.

[flewintotheice-archive-blog]

Steve looked up, adjusting his mask as the Alpha approached him. He felt a slight tingling in his chest as the man came closer.

"Hello," he answered with a soft smile. He’d never been to one of these balls so he wasn’t sure about how to proceed. Was he allowed to ask questions or was he supposed to just let the man introduce himself and tell Steve more about himself…

[alatenightfondue]

Howard walked around him in a slow circle a bit of a smile taking shape on his lips.  Handsome omega...  That was for sure.  He could see other alpha's watching, and a low possessive growl came from him, as if daring any of the others to get close to him.

Then he bowed offering his arm to him. "It would be an honor to escort you around tonight."  It was a show and dance he had done before, but so far none of the omegas had managed to snag his attention quite like this one.

The Omega Ball || Open || A/O verse

Steve knew he’d been putting things off for as long as possible but upon his return to New York, after spending several months searching for Bucky with Sam, he’d received notice that he was going to be one of three omegas to be presented at the annual Omega Ball, held at The Plaza Hotel in The Grand Ballroom. The committee was not going to take no for an answer; again.

Steve spent the next few days trying to get the clothing he would need as well as the mask - the first two hours were a masquerade of sorts. The omegas were not unmasked until the final hour of the ball, giving the Alphas a chance to decide who to court.

When the night of the event arrived, he was nervous and checked his outfit several more times before finally heading down to the car that was waiting for him.

When he arrived at The Plaza, he put on his mask before stepping out of the car and being ushered into the Grand Ballroom. He was still nervous but slowly stepped inside, wondering what the night would bring for him…

[alatenightfondue]

Howard had been one of the Alphas invited to the event.  Not that it surprised him, even with his ventures into inventing different machines, he was a wealthy businessman.  Sure he had a rather prominent limp thanks to a rather bad accident when he was a bit younger, but otherwise he was a prime example of what an alpha should have been. Handsome, intelligent, wealthy, strong, and charming.

He had gotten there early, before most of the other Alphas and that had been on purpose.  If he was there first then he would have been able to see all the omegas sooner.  If one caught his eye then...

The event started and for the most part he was off to the side, until one omega walked in, and he grinned slowly going up to the omega.  "Well hello there."

[alatenightfondue]

"I trust you with my life."

Howard gave him a smile, nuzzling his nose against his jaw.  ”Means more to me than you’ll ever know.”

[flewintotheice-archive-blog]

Steve smiled, finishing the wine in his glass and setting it back down once more. “Great… you’ll let me know when, yes?”

[alatenightfondue]

"Are you free tonight?" he asked giving him a bit of a grin.

[flewintotheice-archive-blog]

"I am, actually," he answered softly…

[alatenightfondue]

"Then Captain Rogers would you like to go on a date with me?" he asked a grin slowly spreading across his lips.

Steve sniffled and got up, fixing his pants and moving to grab a wash cloth off the nearby counter, wetting it and washing his face. When he was done, he came back out, but wasn’t sure what to do or say. He didn’t know if Howard wanted him to leave or stay.

[alatenightfondue]

Howard was waiting for him, and patted the bed beside him.  ”Come here.” He waited until Steve was sitting beside him to put his arm around his shoulders.  ”You know I did not want to do that right?”

[flewintotheice-archive-blog]

"I know," he whispered softly, resting his head on Howard’s shoulder as they sat next to each other. "I’m sorry about how I’ve been… there’s just so much going on and losing Bucky…" He sniffled softly, tearing up again.

[alatenightfondue]

"Shhh..." Howard said softly his arm going around Steve's shoulders, rubbing at his back a bit.  "I know I know but it's okay.  I"m here and I'm going to take care of you."

[flewintotheice-archive-blog]

Steve pressed in even closer. “Perhaps our bedroom would be more comfortable then?”

[alatenightfondue]

"It certainly would be," Howard replied gently tugging him towards the bedroom.

[alatenightfondue]

Pan was more than happy to have Snow White leaning against him.  He liked his friend, and nuzzles against the cat.

Howard hummed chewing his bite of lunch.  ”We could go into town, take Pan for a good long walk around the park.  May even be able to get Snow White to go with us.”

[flewintotheice-archive-blog]

"That sounds good, actually," he answered with a smile. "Walk around the park, check out the lake, then stop by the market for steaks on the way home for dinner?"

[alatenightfondue]

"I think that is a fantastic idea," Howard replied, taking another bite of his lunch.  "I think that nice one, the one that all the local farmers go to is open today too. Could get some really nice products."

Steve winced once or twice as Howrad got him cleaned up. “I’m sorry I worried you,” he said quietly after a few minutes.

[alatenightfondue]

"It’s alright," he said softly giving him a bit of a smile.  "You did a very good job you know.  Everyone’s gonna eat well tonight.  Even managed to snag a can of your favorite soup."  Howard said, moving to sit beside him, holding Steve’s hand in his.

[flewintotheice-archive-blog]

Steve held Howard’s hand tightly in his own. “Hopefully we can plan one more trip out there so that we can be set for a few months and not have to do this again.” He leaned in closer, resting his forehead against the older man’s. “I love you…”

[alatenightfondue]

Howard nodded his head, already working on just how to get a mission out there safely and back.  He couldn't help it, it was how he stayed calm, he planned and he worked.  'I love you too..." he said softly, leaning forward to kiss him softly.  "Tony wants to see you..."

[flewintotheice-archive-blog]

"I’m glad you approve," he teased as he sat down. Snow White was having none of Pan’s teasing and meowed at him, bopping her paw on his nose as she did so.

[alatenightfondue]

Pan shook his head and whined but sat down and instead just stared at the cat.  Howard took a seat, smiling over at him.  ”I always approve of what you cook.”

[flewintotheice-archive-blog]

Steve grinned and leaned across to kiss Howard softly before sitting back down again.

Snow White, after a few moments, jumped down from her chair and settled her self against Pan, closing her eyes once she’d done so.

Steve took a few bites of his lunch and then looked back over at Howard. “So, what do you want to do with the rest of our day?” he asked.

[alatenightfondue]

Pan was more than happy to have Snow White leaning against him.  He liked his friend, and nuzzles against the cat.

Howard hummed chewing his bite of lunch.  "We could go into town, take Pan for a good long walk around the park.  May even be able to get Snow White to go with us."
