Chapter 2
There was a glow to the younger teen as he sat on the diner Steve had taken him to, the brunette was practically radiating with excitement as he sat across the table from the jock. Eyes big and beautiful as he finished ordering his food, cheeks pink as a rose as his mouth curved into a smile as he glanced up at Steve from the menu.
God was Tony cute. Steve just wanted to go on over his side of the table and hug him so tight till all the uncontrollable feelings had left him. But no, he was going to play it cool. Tony was here because he thought Steve was helping him with Bucky. That’s why he was sparkling like a cute twinkling star right now in front of Steve, he was thinking about Bucky. Right..Tony had a crush on Bucky.
With a cough he got the brunette’s attention again. Face positively serious as he didn’t want to give off anything to the other in front of him. “So...you like vanilla ice cream...” Steve commented as he remembered what Tony had ordered. The younger teen immediately smiled at that with a soft nod. “Yeah...especially when drenched with salted butter caramel..” he said with a goofy grin that made Steve’s heart soar. “ um...anything else? Nuts...sprinkles?” Steve drawled as he started writing on his notebook. “Um...no..but i guess those are good too...i mean who doesn’t like sprinkles?” Tony had grinned as he watched Steve scribble on his notebook. “And you like cheese burger...right?” He questioned as he remembered the brunette’s order again. “It’s my favorite actually...really fast and easy to get and eat...” Tony answered as he glanced down at The blond scribbling away again.
“Umm...what are you writing?” Tony couldn’t help but asked as he leaned forward a bit to get a good look at what Steve was writing. The blond instantly jolted at that as he held the notebook tight against his chest. “Ugh...notes...” he blurted with a light blush before realizing what he looked like and acted all calm again. Tony wrinkled his nose at that which made Steve wanna smile goofily at him. “Notes of what?” He asked as he tilted his head to the side, curious of what Steve is really planning. “Um...the things you like..” Steve embarrassingly admitted as he placed the notebook back on the table. “Oh....well, why do you need to write down what i like?” Tony pressed as he tried to take the notebook only for Steve to grab at it and stuff it in his bag again. “Well...if I’m going to be teaching you lessons like dates...i should at least know what you like...it would only be right...this would be also good for Bucky when you two finally have a real date...” Steve answered quickly as he glanced around the place, not really looking at Tony who was staring at him with awe. “Wow...your so considerate, thank you Steve..” if Steve were an anime character right now he would of had a nosebleed from how cute the brunette had said that to him. “Yeah...it’s nothing really, i just need to ask you a couple of important questions and all you have to do is answer them alright?” Steve managed to say with a straight face as he stared seriously at Tony who nodded with a serious face as well. God Steve wanted to pinch his cheeks. The blond coughed a bit before he asked his third question. “So...what’s your favorite color?”
———————————————————-
The date had ended on a smooth note as Tony had handed Steve every information of him he could give. The blond had looked very pleased with the questions Tony had answered, even being so kind enough to pay for Tony’s meal even though it wasn’t even a real date. When they had stepped outside of the diner Tony’s eyes widen when he realized Steve had brushed his hands against him. A blushed spread on Tony’s cheeks as he felt Steve’s hand slowly intertwined with his. “Um...Steve...?”
The blond merely gave him an annoyed look like he should of expected this, making Tony shut his mouth. Trying hard not to tremble as he had never had anyone hold his hand before, especially when they were walking out in public. “Gosh your hands are clammy...” the comment had made Tony blush even more in embarrassment. “Relax...how are you supposed to hold hands with Bucky if you’re this nervous? He’s gonna have a hard time holding you if his hand keeps sliding off...” Steve said with a smirk as he glanced down at the pouting brunette. “I’m sorry if I’m this nervous. I mean It is my first time holding hands with someone!” Tony defended himself as he tried to pull his hand away to no avail as Steve had only clamped onto it more. Face blushing with a stupid grin that made Tony’s heart flutter a bit. “I’m sorry...I’m just saying it’s better if you relax...” he said as he nudged the smaller teen with his elbow making Tony stumble to the side a bit, luckily Steve was still holding his hand tight or else he really would of fell.
A few moments later they were walking side by side silently, both glancing at opposite directions as they did. Wow, Steve’s hand was really big, and warm. It really felt nice the way he’d squeeze the smaller teen’s hands every now and then. Tony couldn’t help but feel really warm and cozy next to the big teen while walking out in the cold chilly air. Steve didn’t seemed to mind too when Tony had pressed a bit closer to him when a light breeze had passed them by.
Once they had arrived at the front of the brunette’s house, Steve had hesitantly let go of the smaller teens hand. “Um...thank you for the date...even though i really didn’t see what the point of that was..i mean we just ate...” Tony said as he scratched his head a bit. Steve huffed at that, looking offended. “The point of that date was me getting valuable informations from you for our next dates...” Tony stared at him a bit at that since he really didn’t think knowing his favorite color was really valuable information. But instead he blurted out “next date?...y-you mean we have to go on more dates?” He asked with wide eyes. Steve nodded as he stared seriously at him. “Of course, you didn’t think one date was enough to get you prepared for the real thing did you? From what i could tell you never had a date in your entire life...you wouldn’t want to bore Bucky to death with you just eating and glancing around uncomfortably would you?” Steve stated as he cocked a brow at Tony who shook his head frantically at him. “No!...oh my gosh was i that bad?” He asked as he placed both his hands over his face. “No...and don’t worry...tomorrow we’ll have our second date..” Steve said as he placed a hand on Tony’s shoulder, making the shorter teen look up from under his hands. “Tomorrow’s Saturday...” He asked from under his lashes. Steve smirked at that as he nodded. “That’s why tomorrow we go to the park...have a nice picnic...and get to know each other mo-i mean I’ll give you some information on Bu-Bucky...” Steve stuttered as he quickly took his hand back and placed it inside his pocket.
Tony beamed at that. “ really? Okay...I’ll see you tomorrow then..” he said with a small smile as he gave Steve a wave. The tall blond nodded at that as he turned around to finally walk away from the shorter teen. Tony smiled gleefully as he clapped both his hands together. Wow, he really had to give The taller teen props. Steve was more dedicated in this than he thought. With a wide smile Tony rash inside his house, eager to hear all about the senior brunette tomorrow. Unaware that the blond had glanced back at him with an also gleeful look on his face.
