Based on the Prompt:: Stony is afraid to be public with their relationship for fear of tarnishing Steve’s “Captain America” image, or hurting Stark industry stock. Peter (Tom Holland) convinces them to go public anyway– and several requests for a bisexual Peter Parker.
****************************
Tony and Steve were an overly affectionate couple.
Tony drank his morning coffee sitting on Steve’s lap. Steve never walked past Tony without kissing his cheek. Tony texted Steve constantly, even if it was nothing more than talking about a dog he had seen. They held hands through movies. Played footsie through dinner. Used one pillow at night because Tony slept with his head on Steve’s chest and that’s all he needed. Steve stood behind Tony as he worked and rubbed his shoulders when they hurt. Tony washed Steve’s hair in the shower.
Overly affectionate, and every one in the Compound took it in stride. They smiled and moved around the couple when they kissed in the hallway. Saved the biggest chair on movie night so they could cuddle. Knew better than to come near the lab when the windows were blacked out.
Overly affectionate, and it was fine.
But the minute they left the compound, everything changed.
They arrived in separate cars to press events. Steve posed with Natasha for pictures, Tony with Pepper. Steve would hug Sam when they met in public, but Tony got a handshake. Tony kissed everyone’s cheek when he said hello, but only smiled up at Steve. They never stood next to each other if they could help it. Avoided being seen walking together. If anyone were to ask, they would say that maybe Steve and Tony just didn’t really like each other. Maybe the friction between them at the battle of New York had carried over longer and they really didn’t want to be around each other.
It wasn’t the truth of course. But it was the truth they let the public see.
And the entire team respected that they wanted to stay private, but Peter— Peter had some questions.
