“If you were to ask someone who is a national icon on a date, what would you need to do?” Tony asked Pepper, who was looking up at him from the office with a raised eyebrow in confusion.

“Why?” Pepper asked back at Tony, who frowned when he saw the project form.

Hinlim

that is waiting to be signed in front of you And Pepper put pen to paper and signed it right after. “Tony, what do you plan on doing?”

“No!” Tony answered her as if he had been insulted, causing Pepper to narrow her eyes. “Okay, fine. I'm just…I'm in the process of mending my relationship with Steve. You yourself have seen him, right? Apart from his appearance being perfect in every way. I think he's not bad himself. Even though it looks confusing

Whenever I talk about certain movies, But Steve is still learning. and was able to begin to understand the complex system that I had put into my database.

SHIELD

Alright, he hacked it easily and I -”

“Love or infatuation?” Pepper said, cutting Tony off.

"what?"

“What you are right now is love or infatuation, Tony.” Pepper pointed the tip of the pen at him before tapping the tip of his nose, causing Tony to lift his hand and wipe it away.

“You can't ask me things like that, Pep. I - you know that. That I'm not good at those things.” Tony took her pen and started making something out of clips and staples. He was thinking about the word 'Strawberry' for some reason before starting to build from the base.

“True, but you asked me about a date. It's not a tease, so I'm assuming you meant the first word.” Tony heard what she said and decided not to answer. Because the possibility of failure was already so high that it would fall on him. Pepper reached out and pulled out one of his clips, causing the entire structure to collapse, causing Tony to turn around and stare at it. “Pay attention to what I have to say.

I'm trying my best to tell you the solution as an offering.”

“No, you are being needlessly cruel to me. And you're making fun of me.” Pepper rolled her eyes at Tony's words.

“Alright, I'll talk about the following. Just once And you should do what I tell you. You should, because it's the only way you can get through this problem. And be able to have a relationship that will survive, okay?” Pepper signed more documents as Tony leaned closer to her.

Here's the secret to asking someone who is the symbol of your nation out on a date: just ask him out.”

Tony ran a hand through his hair after hearing Pepper's words. “No, that can't happen. I did some math. Try even adding every variable. And the possibility of it working that way is almost zero. Or if Steve actually said yes. Graf told me that our relationship would end in three weeks.”

Tony slammed his head down on his desk. "Help me, Pepper."

Pepper sighed before answering. "I'm helping you, Tony. You just have to put your fear aside and take a chance. Who knows? You might just get lucky this time."

“You didn't help me at all. Tell me why did I have to fly all the way here?”

“Because you need my intelligence and you probably miss me too.”

Tony smiled at the table. He poked his finger at one of the paper clips. “Probably right.”

Of course, Pepper's advice sounds simple, but at the same time, He still couldn't figure out how to use it to get started. Every time he would speak He felt his tongue all tangled together. He could only stare at Steve silently. Like a young girl And I ended up bringing myself back to the lab every time.

Steve, who seemed to notice his emotional state, dragged him out to a coffee shop together. Which Tony really hoped was a real date. He was still too cowardly to ask even as Steve walked up to the counter to order him a drink that now felt darker than black coffee.

Tony mentally cursed Pepper before sending her messages that included words such as 'failure', 'smart home' and more. But Pepper only responded with a smiley face icon. And when Steve sets down a plate of coffee in front of him and asks about the latest damage the Hulk has done to his poor home. Tony then sighed.

second attempt Tony recalculated and saw that there was even a slim chance of success. So they started talking seriously about going on a date until Steve turned to look at him with a strange expression. before dragging Tony out to a coffee shop to discuss battle strategy. Next, go watch a movie that Tony used to refer to as a cultural reference in order to keep up with the world because he was also tired of not understanding Tony.

Tony did what he wanted, of course, how could Tony not? - but this was not what he wanted. Tony fights with himself to follow Pepper's advice and ask out again. But the more Steve takes Tony on a tour of the real world, the more The more Tony saw the possibility of a closer relationship with Steve, the less Tony saw the possibility of a closer relationship with Steve.

The current relationship between the two of them is 'Friendship between friends' and Tony would probably have to cut off his right arm if he broke it or worse.

The third and fourth time It's not even worth mentioning.

Tony stared blankly into his coffee cup. Trying to get it to 37 degrees Celsius when Steve walked into the kitchen and ruffled his wet hair. Steve greeted Tony with a kiss on the cheek before walking over to the refrigerator. Try to find a brand of cereal.

Fruit Loops

When Tony turned around and snarled and sat up straight as he slid the coffee mug back.

“Wait, what was that?”

Steve blinked at Tony from the refrigerator. There was a pitcher of milk that was about to go into his mouth. And Tony couldn't stop staring at him. As the feeling of Steve's kiss lingered on the skin of his cheek, Tony absentmindedly ran his finger across the spot before asking again.

“Look, Mr. Phuean – I'm sorry, what was that?”

Steve frowned, before drinking all of his milk. and picked up Tony's half-lost coffee cup and refilled it. Along with placing it in the same place in front of Tony, the temperature was exactly 37 degrees Celsius. Tony's hand trembled as he reached out to take it. And as Steve's hand gingerly touched his fingers

Tony glanced at the tall figure for a moment. Trying to understand what was going on and the possibility of him getting it wrong as Steve examined his hands. Running his fingers over the thick surface of his palm, Tony was able to determine where each scar or bump came from. He could tell Steve in that moment.

But when Steve smiled back Every word in his head disappeared.

“You don't know?” Tony blinked at Steve at his question.

“What do you know? Obviously, I'm a bit slow to pick up on these things. Because what is happening right now is… it is a possibility that I have calculated. That's not going to happen, Steve,” Tony said before looking away from Steve's bright eyes, causing Steve to click his tongue at the action.

"I received an interesting message from Mr. Potts a few weeks ago," Steve said, releasing Tony's hand. He felt a chill as soon as the contact disappeared before he tightened his fingers on the coffee cup in front of him. and squinted at the small square screen which Steve held out for him to see

'Answer to the question you asked last time: Ask him out. I'm sure Tony won't deny it.'

'Are you sure?'

'Trust me, Steve, my intellect knows no bounds. And my knowledge about the person named Tony Stark is so vast that you can't even imagine.'

“So I asked you out,” Tony read the message over a few more times before Steve continued. “And when you agree? I could hardly believe my good fortune. But when Mr. Potts said that you, uh, are kind of slow about these things. As you said So I had to do something very obvious.

So that you can find out.”

“What are you telling me?” Tony started, looking down at his coffee cup in confusion at what was happening. “Are you telling me we already went on a date?”

“Actually, nine times,” Steve pointed out the number. Until Tony had to collapse onto the counter.

"Okay," Tony mumbled against the marble counter he'd slumped on. Instead of looking down at the coffee cup as usual because it seemed to reflect his face too clearly.

The tall figure smiled and rubbed Tony's head. “Can I eat breakfast now? We're going to talk about how terrible you are when it comes to dating. I mean, it's been three weeks, Tony. I might be from the '40s, but no one waits that long for a kiss.

We don't need to have sex or anything. But just a kiss is great. Do you know that -”

Tony pounced on Steve, halting the words that were about to come out of his mouth for a long moment. Looks like he must have missed breakfast.

After Steve and Tony understood each other well Tony quickly sent a light-speed message to Pepper: 'She was fired >:('

and received an answer in a moment saying, 'my pleasure ;)'
