After so much wait, here it is!

"________! Miss _________! Please, babe, look this way, sweetie!"

"Hey, honey, smile for the camera!"

With the most genuine smile, you placed your hand on your hip, turning in a semi-circle so your best features where to the mob of photographers. Mentally, you counted 20 seconds, changing poses ever 5. After the time was up, you continued your journey into the extravagant hotel venue lined with limousines and the most influential people of all time, yourself included.

About halfway inside, you were stopped by the paparazzi, again. Unable to resist having yourself plastered all over magazines and the news, you posed once more.
"Miss __________, what's it like being one of the few women to be able to compete against the feisty men in the nuclear weapons business?"

"Competition? I don't see any!"

A couple of the paparazzis chuckled,"Alright, alright, so they say you don't plan to get married soon, why?"

You shrugged, never truly having considered the thought. Sure you've had crushes and wanted to go on a date,but between work and wanting to be on the internet all the time in the beach, who has the time?

"No one catches my eye at the moment and I certainly don't want to rush into things. Oh, here comes security. You all better scat!" You waved them off, heading down to the food table, your favourite place to be. With a skeptical look, you passed the main courses and headed straight for the dessert.

“You might not want to eat that, it’ll ruin your figure.”

A brownie halfway in your mouth, you looked over your shoulder to see none other than the smuggest of the smug.

“Hello, Stark. I was hoping you weren’t going to be here tonight,”You groaned, finishing up the brownie. Of course Tony had to be there. He was always there- to every single party you are ever at; even the ones nobody invited him to.

Tony walked up to the table, picking up a shawarma and popping it into his mouth.

“Honestly, what is it with you and shawarmas?” You asked, noticing how much he ate them.

“I don’t know,”-He stuffed another into his mouth-“Ever since that whole deal with the aliens and the avengers I can’t help myself.”

You rolled your eyes, recalling the huge event and how he almost killed himself. Mentally, you scolded him for such a moronic move.

“Right. Well, the press is on the other side of the venue.”

“So?”He scoffed, looking at you, rather obviously, up and down,”You know that dress really does an amazing job at showing off your curves.”

Your cheeks flushed, but you refused to be flattered. There was no way you were falling into one of his obvious traps. You’ve worked too hard for far too long for this. A little too roughly, you served yourself a drink.

“I know,”You replied, hoping that with simple answers he’d give up and go flirt with someone else.

“I bet you’d look even better with it off,”He smirked, giving you a wink behind his orange glasses.

The drink in your hand almost fell but you caught it just in time. The press was near, you could see them and you had to think of something fast to get him away from you; he could ruin your image with one sentence.

“My boyfriend thinks so also.”

Tony’s eyes became huge and he stared at you with disbelief, “ Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend? Since when?”

“Since, Since last week! He treats me really nicely and doesn’t wear a smug grin all the time,”You snapped, straightening your back.

Smirking, Tony took a sip of his drink, “I don’t believe you.”

“Your problem, not mine.”

“Alright then,”He set down his drink, coming closer, towering over you, ”What’s his name.”

”Steve.”

Tony’s smirk grew wider,”Steve what?”

You were going to hate yourself for this but…”Rogers. Steve Rogers.”

Catching himself from toppling over with laughter, Tony gave you an incredulous stare,”Capsicle? He’s your boyfriend? The old man can barely choke out a ‘hello’!”

“At least he isn’t sending me worthless compliments!”You retorted, suddenly regretting saying anything at all and having to involve such a sweet man like Steve.

Tony only shook his head, taking a drink,”Alright then, how come he isn’t here with you?”

“He had to go do stuff.”

“What kind of stuff?”

You tried to think quickly of what Steve would do. “Uhm, he’s, doing hero stuff!”

“And I wasn’t invited because…?”

You groaned, wanting all of this to end. You knew he was just asking pointless questions to talk to you but you couldn’t find a way around them. “Just because. Look, why don’t you go seduce someone else, mk?”

Tony wiggled his brows, “ I’m seducing you?”

You groaned louder and, to make matters worse, Steve entered the place. Tony followed your stare and he smiled, loving to always win,”Capsicle! Why don’t you come over here?”

You could feel all color leave your face as Steve approached and shook your hand. Tony raised his brow at the gesture but he still wasn’t going to give up.

“So, Cap, how long have you two been together?”

Steve raised a brow and opened his mouth to refute but you instantly took a hold of his huge arm and replied for him,”Since last week, didn’t I already tell you? Steve, Tony is a real idiot,hm?”

Steve glanced from Tony to you and you pleaded with your eyes for him to keep playing along.

Steve nodded slowly, not wanting to upset you,”Yes, since last week. Why, Stark? Jealous?”

Tony scoffed and looked deeply offended, placing his cup down,”Huh, so you weren’t lying. Alright, how’d you two meet? ____, barely goes out and Capsicle here can’t say hi to a woman.”

“I visited him myself in secret to discuss possible options for his new life. I initiated the whole thing,” you lied, desperately hoping Tony would get distracted by all the women here. But of all the women here, it seemed you were the only one he’d pay attention to. Besides Pepper, of course, but she wasn’t there. You wished she was since she could always tell when you were uncomfortable by anything. Tony finished off his drink and scowled to himself,”I still don’t buy it. Enjoy your night.”

When he was out of sight, you released the breath you were holding and faced Steve, trying to form some type of apology,”Steve, I-“

“It’s alright. Really,” he said, giving you a smile.”Tony seemed kind of bummed, don’t you think?”

You stared at him seriously for a moment before cracking a smile,”Steve, please, you’re not suggesting Stark was genuinely interested in me, right?”

He frowned and pinched his lips together and you dropped your grin,”Steve, Steve be serious now, you don’t actually think Tony would be tied down to one girl, do you?”

Steve shrugged his shoulders and took a sideways glance at Tony as he made small talk with news reporters,” I don’t know what to think of Stark but I know that he was genuinely displeased,______.”
