Need a Lift?
an exploration into pre-aou stony cuteness + lots of awkward steeb nursing a growing crush on @stilldebatable

Tony Stark was a handsome guy. There was no arguing that.
Steve Rogers certainly wouldn’t. He would be slower to admit that the billionaire had all the stupid, irritating personality flaws that made him light up like a Christmas tree whenever Tony would talk to him. Not to mention big brown eyes. Steve loved big brown eyes. And dark hair. And olive skin. And razor-sharp wit... and a desire to fight... and razor sharp intelligence that could rival any historical genius.
Had he used a search engine to check if Tony was into men after finding out that being bisexual was legal? Did he straighten up a little when he saw the old college photos of Tony kissing men at wild parties? Yes, but just out of sheer curiosity.
Did he have a crush? No. No?
...No. He didn’t. That would’ve been impractical.
Tony was a member of the team... and besides, the only evidence of him being interested in men was a TMZ video from nearly a decade ago, of him leading a heavily pixelated guy into a hotel room. Apparently it had led to a press “scandal” in the early 2000s. There was no proof. So, was Steve mentally crushing down a few nervous butterflies when he went knocking on Tony’s lab door?
No. He absolutely wasn’t.
“Uh... anybody home?” Steve called, poking his head into the lab.
