"Whatever I was doing or planning on doing wasn't half as important as your health and happiness Tony." Steve stated, gently but firmly. He just wanted Tony to know how much he cared for him. It was almost infuriating how oblivious to his affections Tony seemed to be.
Sure Steve didn't want Tony to flat out know he was crushing on him but he at least wanted to make sure Tony knew he had someone that cared for him more than anything.
"Warm? Hah, I blame the serum. Keeps me warm most times." He murmured softly, smiling at Tony. He was glad to see the other was bouncing back, if only a little bit.

"Thanks, Cap. That means a lot to me." Tony stated, moving a bit to awkwardly hug Steve back. It was a weird move seeing as how both of them were laying down, but...it's the thought that matters. "I've always thought that I'm supposed to be a hero, so...I'm always worried that nobody would accept a hero with anxiety." Tony admitted with an awkward smile, obviously pleased to know that Steve still cared for him throughout all this.
"The serum, huh? Well, I'm glad it keeps you warm. You can be my space heater." Tony commented, before realizing how incredibly both gay and dweeb-ish that sounded. "...I'm trying to mentally fix my wording there. That sounded weird, sorry." Tony apologized, snickering heavily to try to hide the fact that he's pining over Steve so darned much.
[/fancypost] -
Steve hummed in understanding, cuddling Tony gladly. "I know the feeling Tony, don't worry." He hummed softly, smiling softly. Looking down at Tony with those soft blue eyes of his.
Steve snorted when Tony said he could be his space heater. "Tony, I would love to but I don't think I can just be around whenever you get cold." He teased gently, eyes showing amusement. -

"What if I want you around even if I'm not cold?" Tony asked with a chuckle and a grin on his face before realizing that it was starting to really, really, really sound like he was flirting. Oh well. He'd just keep doing his best to play it off as just a bromance and nothing more. Try to play it off as if he wasn't incredibly gay for his assumed-straight friend and hadn't been pining over him for actual ages. To try to make the statement sound less flirty, Tony followed it up with another comment. "You're a good friend, I hope you know that. I like to have you around. The space heater thing is just an extra benefit." Tony stated, laughing a bit before curling up into a ball at Steve's side.
[/fancypost] -
Steve laughed softly, letting Tony get as close and comfy as he liked. Have Steve around even if he wasn't cold? What was Tony implying? Was he implying anything at all? Probably not, Steve was just being hopeful. Heaving a soft sigh, he listened as Tony added the friend part.
That's all Steve was to Tony, and it hurt a little bit. Steve wouldn't let that get him down though. If he was stuck only as a friend he'd be the best friend he could be. For Tony. -

"...You sound really disappointed about the whole friend with space heater benefits thing. If it helps, you're my best friend with space heater benefits. Best friend in general." Tony decided with a nod, oblivious to the fact that Steve was actually disappointed about other things. He'd convinced himself that Steve was straight, so...it never really occurred to him when Steve was doing gay things.
"I mean, unless you don't wanna be best friends. But. I think we're doing well as best friends. Or more than that." Tony commented, saying the last part in a slightly joking tone, even though internally the idea of being boyfriends with Steve crossed his mind at least daily.
"I'm kidding about the 'more than that' part, just in case you needed to know. Plus, you're straight anyway, so...I'm guessing you knew that already. But just to restate. Just joking. Don't get upset with me." Tony stated a bit awkwardly, looking away and praying to every deity he could think of that he didn't start blushing.
[/fancypost] -
Steve blinked, looking down at Tony curiously. What was his scientist crush blabbing about? Listening carefully he snorted on the space heater thing, sighing softly. Tony was so dumb sometimes, but he loved him for it.
Blinking as Tony brought up his being straight he looked down at Tony. "You... Think I'm straight?" He asked, looking carefully at Tony. It was weird to just bring it up like that, but that was okay. Steve saw this as a chance. He'd express he was into men too, and then Tony would know that if he was interested Steve was open. -

Tony blinked a few times at that statement, an absolutely bewildered expression on his face. "Wait...so are you...not straight...?" Tony queried a bit straightforwardly, looking away awkwardly. "Sorry, I just...you're an American man from the 1940s, so I just...assumed...that you'd be straight." He admitted, running a hand through his own hair. Tony had no idea what to do with this new information. "N-not that I have an issue with being not straight, obviously! I'm actually pansexual myself, so...yeah." Tony confessed, looking away with a dark red blush all over his face. "So, uhm...what about you? Who do you...what sexuality are you?" He asked, watching Steve intently. Maybe now he could actually start dropping hints about his crush.
[/fancypost] -
"Just because I'm "super old" doesn't mean I'm completely stuck in the thought process from back then." Steve stated pointedly, sitting up with a soft huff. "Me and Tasha were talking about this a while back. I like men and women so according to her that makes me Bisexual." He stated, nodding a bit as if assuring himself he was correct.
Pansexual? Natasha had explained that to him... What had it meant? Liked anybody? He was half sure that's what it was, and if so that meant he did have a chance with Tony! It was small, but it was some hope and Steve needed hope. -

"Oh, well...god, this is embarrassing. Geez, if I'd known you were bi I would've said something." Tony commented, mostly to himself, the blush on his face coming back tenfold. "Anyway, as I said before, I'm pansexual. So I'm attracted to anybody regardless of gender. And speaking of attraction, like..." Tony sighed, gave an awkward laugh and rolled over before burying his face in his hands. In the end, he decided to just be direct and upfront with it all.
"I would've said it earlier if I knew, I just always thought you were straight. But, Steve, I've had the hugest crush on you for actual ages. I just didn't say anything because I was scared of how you'd react. Guess now I can tell you." Tony commented with a sigh, turning his gaze towards Steve. He actually was still a bit scared of Steve's reaction. Worst-case scenario was that Steve rejected him and they just moved on from that together as friends. To try to lighten things up a bit, Tony gave an awkward grin towards his crush.
[/fancypost] -
Steve blushed furiously as he gained the knowledge of Tony's crush on him. How long? God if he'd just said he was bi earlier he could've been callng Tony his for gods know how long. Biting his lip, he tried to formulate some reply. Maybe a cheesy pick up line or even a sweet nothing.
Sadly nothing came to mind so he did the first thing he could think of. He gently lifted Tony up, pulling him to sit in his lap before hugging him close and placing a gentle kiss on his head. Hopefully his message was clear enough -

Tony blushed dark red at Steve doing so, adjusting a bit to curl into Steve's side once again with a ginormous grin forming on his face. "So, is that a yes to being boyfriends?" Tony questioned just to be sure, leaning up and kissing Steve's nose a bit playfully. "If it is a yes, before anything, I just wanna ask if you're okay with public affection. If I was to hold your hand or kiss you or something in front of other people, would that be okay with you?" Tony queried. He was extremely careful, and wanted to ask this sooner rather than later so that he didn't make Steve upset by doing the wrong thing.
On that note, Tony rested his forehead against Steve's, staring into bright blue eyes that he always thought were gorgeous with his own, much darker eyes. He moved a bit into a position where he was almost kissing the other, but not quite. Just giving Steve the chance to lean forward and kiss him or refuse. Just making sure that it was definitely a yes from the American.
[/fancypost] -
"Don't know why I'd kiss your head if it was meant to be interpreted differently my dear." Steve hummed softly, smiling at Tony happily as his nose was kissed and the other rested their forehead. Listening to Tony speak about public affection, Steve's grin only widened.
"Public affection is just fine, as long as you aren't groping me during a party." Steve teased, eyes dancing with love and amusement.
Watching Tony carefully for a moment, he moved forward to seal his words with a kiss, gentle and filled with nothing but love. It was pure, and gentle. Everything love should consist of. -

Tony practically melted into the kiss, all of his tension visibly disappearing. He stayed like that for awhile, just kissing Steve for awhile. Heck, he placed one hand on Steve's cheek and one on the back of Steve's neck. Tony's thumb idly ran across Steve's cheek as he kissed the other, eventually pulling away with a face redder than the roses he would probably give to Steve someday. "I love you." Tony stated confidently, resting his forehead against Steve's once more and chuckling softly when their noses bumped a little bit.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't do anything like that to you unless you asked me to. If I ever break your boundaries, though, tell me. I don't wanna make you uncomfy." Tony stated in a bit of a hum, giving Steve a quick peck on the lips with that statement.
[/fancypost] -
Steve smiled into the kiss as he felt Tony's thumb run across his cheek, his won arms wrapped firmly around Tony's waist. His grip was gentle, though strong like one would expect from the super soldier. His eyes flickered open as Tony pulled back, smiling gently at the other's closeness. Gods he loved this man...
A soft sound, akin to a purr, left Steve at Tony's words. The I love you making Steve happier than Tony could imagine.
"I love you too Tony, more thank anything" Steve murmured, saying it like it was a promise. Though it very well could be knowing Steve.
"That's very sweet of you Tony, my sweet Tony." Steve sighed, grinning at the thought of Tony finally being his to hold and love. "Don't let me overstep any of your boundaries either my dear, alright?" -

"I'll make sure to tell you if you're ever making me uncomfortable, so long as you promise to do the same thing for me." Tony assured Steve. He shut his eyes with a sigh, burying his head into the other's chest and letting a little smile appear across his face. The subtle comfort of Steve's heartbeat as well as his warmth really did serve to relax and comfort Tony completely.
"Mm...it's great to hear 'I love you too' coming from you finally. To be honest, I didn't think I'd ever have the courage to say anything, but I'm glad that it ended this way! You make me real happy, you know that? I hope you do." Tony mumbled against Steve's chest, voice a bit muffled by the other's shirt.
[/fancypost] -
Steve smiled lightly as Tony's face was buried into his chest, content to be cuddling the other. Listening to Tony's breathing was a comfort, even if it had become a bit muffled. Steve was relaxed, and I mean truly relaxed. Without a doubt Tony had made him the happiest he'd been in a while, and Steve wanted the moment to last as long as it could.
Steve was almost dozing off when he heard Tony speak again, zoning in on what his boyfriend had to say. His heart warmed at the words, and he let out a happy little hum.
"You make me extremely happy Tony, I hope you know that. I also hope you know how much you mean to me." Steve's voice was quiet as he spoke, but yet he somehow managed to express all his current emotions with it. -

Tony sighed softly upon hearing those words, having had waited forever and a day just to have these sort of loving exchanges with Steve. "I hope you know how much you mean to me, too, Cap. It's incredible to just be with you, I hope you know. I love you so so so damn much." Tony stated, absolute affection in his words. He wanted to protect Steve, wanted to keep him close. It was nice to know those feelings were reciprocated.
"Geez, you're warm and you have a really nice voice. You're gonna make me fall asleep, Cap." Tony commented with a soft chuckle, leaning up to lazily kiss Steve's cheek with nothing but affection in those deep brown eyes of his.
[/fancypost] -
Steve smiled softly as he heard the soft sigh leave Tony's lips. He didn't know how he'd gotten lucky enough to have this moment with Tony, but he was going to enjoy every second of it.
Listening as Tony spoke, he smiled even wider and jokingly murmured "Language Tony." It was a reference and it was a joke, followed by an affectionate nuzzle. He loved Tony more than words could ever express, and he could only hope that with time he'd be able to express the extent of this love.
Steve let out a soft laugh as Tony once again commented on his warmth, this time joined by a comment on his voice and a lazy little kiss. Steve was more focused on Tony's eyes though, the deep brown he'd always found so intriguing. He'd heard many times from people that brown eyes were boring, but he'd always thought quite differently. Like with Tony's eyes he noted, they turned into a soft almost whiskey color when directly in the sun and when in the shadows they were a deep and meaningful dark chocolate brown. -

steve is three inches taller than tony this is adorable
tony is not extremely smol but he is still 5'9" and that's incredibleIC
Tony snickered as Steve made the 'language' comment, shaking his head a bit with a little sigh. Steve was definitely a dweeb, but a dweeb that Tony loved nonetheless. As Steve made eye contact to focus on his eyes, this also gave Tony a chance to focus on Steve's eye colour, too. They were a brilliant blue he had fallen for long ago. Steve's eyes made him think of the sky on a cloudless day, or like a swimming pool in the middle of July...needless to say, Steve's eyes just made him naturally think of good, comforting times. Tony being Tony, it didn't take long for him to vocalize his thoughts. "Your eyes are really beautiful, you know. I've thought so since I met you." Tony commented with a grin, resting his forehead against Steve's since they were making eye contact anyway.
