The meeting
It was March, Steve was busy celebrating Bucky’s birthday, like every year, Bucky only want to get a drink at the nearest bar, and just end up in bed with some random chick. But this year, Steve wanted it to be special, he literally booked a part of the club they were going, so they could enjoy their night. As he stood outside and waited for Bucky, as usual Bucky liked to make an entrance, a shorter brunette man bumps into him, he was slightly tipsy, Steve could see that. “Whoa whoa whoa, you okay buddy?” Steve asked as he held the man steady, “I’m alright! I’m okay! I’m fine!” The man said, as he steadied himself, holding Steve’s broad arms, “Are you from heaven?” The man asked as he squeezed Steve’s biceps, “Cos honey, I think you’re an angel from above!” The man continued, earning a chuckle from Steve, “Are you sure you’re okay buddy?” Steve asked again, as the man stood up straight, “Damn your voice is even sexier, God must have loved you too much and hate me, cos seeing you honey, I want to sin so badly!” The man continued, Steve just shook his head and laugh, “I’m Steve by the way,” Steve said as he held his hand out for a shake. “I’m Tony by the way, but you can call me yours tonight” Tony replied with a growl. Tony was definitely drunk, “Tones! There you are, I’ve been searching everywhere for you!” a red hair lady came out of nowhere, tugging Tony by the arm, “let’s go back inside, you still have a few more drinks to go before they sign the contract!” she continued. “Hold up, I was talking to my angel, don’t pull me away” Tony said as he swatted her arms away, “Your angel can wait, but the devil inside won’t be happy if you delay shit again, “She continued, “I’m sorry, can I take my man back inside?” The red hair lady continued, “Steveeeee, don’t let this devil take me away, I want to be with you!” Tony whined, he made grabby hands to Steve, “Come on Tones, I don’t have the whole night, let’s go!” The red hair lady continued, “Your Steve can wait alright,” The lady continued to tug Tony’s arm, “By the way, I’m Pepper Potts, Steve, right?” Pepper said as she held her hands out, she and Steve shook hands before Pepper decided to literally drag Tony away. “I’ll see you later Angel!” Tony shouted as he was dragged away, Steve could only chuckle and shook his head. Just in time Bucky arrives, they both walked into the club, they finally got to their table, “Happy Birthday Punk!” Steve said as he rubs Bucky’s hair, “Come on! It took me forever to look this good, don’t ruin it buddy!” Bucky said as he pushed Steve’s hands away. The night went well, Steve never did bump into Tony again, he was kind of bumped, but it was his best friend’s birthday, so he had to have fun. As Steve hail a cab done, he could see at the corner of his eyes, a brunette man was rushed into a car, he knew that was Tony, but well it was getting late, there’s still another night to see him.
It was a week after Bucky’s birthday, Steve had to attend an exhibition for his arts, it was a charity event after all, whoever bought his arts, the money will be donated to the charity of his choice. There was businessman, celebrities, top stars, it was a private event after all. Steve dressed in his best suit, as he walked around the exhibitions, reading the fine prints that was written by the arts. He had his best five arts displayed by the corner, his favourite was his newest edition, a portrait of the brunette he met that night, he names it “ANGEL”, after what Tony called him, it didn’t really look like Tony, but it still looks like Tony at the very first glance. As he stood nearby his arts, a group of businessmen was checking out his arts, and he could see Tony was one of them and Pepper was standing by his side, “ANGEL?” Tony read out, “S. Rogers? who is this artist? His arts are really breath-taking,” Tony continued, as he looks through all the other four artworks, he walked back to the one he liked, Angel. He stood there for a good 5 minute, then he passed a paper to Pepper, before he walked off again, Steve just blended into the surroundings, watching Tony as he walked about. Just as Steve was about to leave the room, “Steven!” Mr. Smith called after him, he was one of the directors of this museum, “It must be your lucky day, because someone bought all of your arts, and they requested if it’s possible for you to personally send your arts to their place?” he continued. Steve could only smile at it, “And the buyer paid 1 million for all of your arts, so choose your charity, mate.” Mr. Smith continued. Steve was speechless, no one ever paid that much for his arts, he really wondered who was the one who paid for it, “how about just to the cancer society, and also the orphanage down the road?” Steve said as he rubs the back of his neck. “Sure thing, also are you free to deliver the arts by today?” Mr. Smith continued. “Sure, thing Sir, just update me the address, and I will send it later on.” Steve replied. “Stark Tower, the big building downtown” Mr. Smith replied. As soon as the event ended, Steve packed up his arts, put it all in his car, and he starts the drive to Stark Tower, it was already 7 pm as he reached Stark Tower, he had to go through security screening, then only did they let him up the building, he was supposed to put the 4 other artworks in the office, while Angel was to be up in the penthouse. “Mr Stark, Mr Rogers is here with your artwork.” Jarvis, one of Tony’s trusted butler, said as he led Steve into the penthouse, “Just let him sit in the living room okay Jarvs, I’ll be out in a while.” Tony replied, Steve just took a sit on the large sofa, soon Tony came out to great his guest, “Steve!” Tony exclaimed as he saw Steve, “Tony!” Steve exclaimed as he stood up, “oh wow, what a small world, Steve, so you’re S. Rogers then!” Tony asked, as he smiled widely to Steve, “ haha yeah, small world, didn’t expect you were my secret buyer,” Steve replied, “ I love your art Steve, especially Angel, it looks like something familiar” Tony said as he took a sit next to Steve, “ haha it was actually inspired by someone, I drew that the night after I met him.” Steve replied as he rubs the back of his neck, he could feel his face was burning up. “That’s kind of sweet you know, being someone’s inspiration” Tony said as he looks at Steve, “Your hands can create something beautiful, I’m really surprised, what else can those hands do?” Tony smirks, eying Steve. Steve was already red like a lobster, “I can sculpt too, woods, clay, even ice, you name it, I can do it.” Steve replied. “Just nice, I have a party coming up in like a week, I’m thinking of having an ice sculptor of myself for the party, are you up for its Steve?” Tony asked, “Sure thing, how do you want it to look like, I can get it done for you, I can show you a sample once I’m done, then the actual day, I’ll make it bigger alright.” Steve replied. Then they start discussing about how they want it to be, hopefully it will turn out great.
