Steve Rogers
When the commotion with Tony’s seemingly new, hot and controversial boyfriend just started, Steve was trying his best to drown himself with vodka, whiskey, beer and everything else mix together.
It was not his fault he could not share the same happiness his friend, Tony Stark, felt, especially when said friend’s boyfriend was his ex-boyfriend, Loki Borson.
The sight of Loki pulled him towards another of his memory, when the dark-haired Norwegian was still his to kiss; his to hold; his to cherish and his to love.
Loki was ever the mischievous one, playing his usual daily mischief on Steve when Steve snapped at him as he finally crumbled under the weight of stress the military gave him. Loki was stunned for a moment and Steve could not blame him now. He never deny Loki’s penchant for mischief the moment he knew the intention behind it: Loki wanted happiness and laughter for everyone and himself. So when he snapped at Loki, the green-eyed teen awkwardly tried to lighten up the tension but instead, earned a punch to his jaw for the effort. In turn, he slapped Steve across his cheeks with tears running down freely.
That night, Thor rushed from New Mexico to Brooklyn and took his 17-year-old brother away from him, muttering about abusive boyfriends and all. He could not blame Thor for wanting to protect Loki from him. Who wouldn’t when they saw the huge innocent green eyes wet with tears and a large knuckle-shaped bruise on his porcelain skin? He also could not blame Thor for swinging a fist at him, the impact so huge it sent him flying to the ground with an extra dose of bloody nose.
Over the course of 5 years, Steve had outgrown certain of his attitudes and definitely fixed his temper. While he had many chances with both males and females alike, he could not forget Loki, the love he had when he was 25 years old and the same love he threw away just because he could not keep his temper in check.
Drowning another shot of who-knows-what, Steve stood up and straightened his jacket. If he could not take care of Loki any more, he damn well would make Tony cherish the green-eyed Norwegian. Even if he had to face Thor’s disapproving glare and Loki’s disappointed smile.
