Note: 200 word double drabble
Summary: Steve and Tony meet.
~~~
Tony wanted to shock Rogers, jar him out of his righteousness, bring him down to everyone else’s level.
He stared at Rogers’ crotch until Steve caught him looking.
“No one ever ogled it before? Come on. Everyone wonders if it is as epic as the rest of you.” There was an edge to the words Tony, an edge everyone on the Quinjet felt.
“Don’t be crude, Stark.”
“Why not? Isn’t what they expect? What you expect?”
“Since when do you meet anyone’s expectations?” Steve stepped close. Too close.
“I normally exceed them. How about you? You live up to them?”
Steve turned away, stung by Stark’s anger, more than he thought he would be. They’d only just met, for god’s sake. What did Stark have against him?
Steve felt self-conscious, though not for the first time. His first twenty-three years, people stared because he was puny, pitiable. Now they stared because he was big, strong. They felt the same somehow.
He gritted his teeth and turning away, ignored Stark. Letting bullies win was hard for him, even now, when he could easily beat them.
An inexplicable part of him wanted Tony Stark to like him, wanted to be his friend.
