It’d be an honor to have you.” We all have our little secrets…” Tony said as he eyed you up and down again, but in a new light. I know you didn’t know about me, I didn’t want to complicate your memory of him,” you tried gently. “I nearly made out with my dad’s old sweetheart…What a treasured memory that would’ve been.” “Well, now I think I have the honor of holding the world’s most awkward moment,” he said with a gin. “Got it! Okay!” Tony said, cutting you off. “I thought you knew…and when you said you’d never heard of me, I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to tell you that we used to-” Immediately, Tony backed away three steps. “Because she and your father were in love,” Steve suddenly said, startling both of you as he stepped farther into the lab. “Uh, Tony, I’m not so sure that’s a good idea,” you admitted. As soon as you registered what was happening, you backed up one step and put your delicate fingers on Tony’s shirt, and pushed. Just then, Steve stepped into the lab, and too stunned to say anything as he saw Tony get closer to you. He started to lean towards you, just as Howard had done what seemed like just yesterday. The same one you’d seen in his father’s eyes. He was looking at you with a twinkle in his eye. You were looking at Tony as a legacy, a reminder, a comfort. Tony’s eyes were glued to yours, he was looking for something entirely different than you. It was uncanny and yet somehow it was reassuring and comforting knowing that so much of him had lived on. “Okay,” you agreed, your eyes searching his face. “Work for me,” he begged in a breathy tone. He had closed the gap between you two and you hadn’t really noticed the closeness until you glanced up and he was right there, right next to you. “Really? Me too,” he said quietly as he got closer to you. You were too enthralled with the gadgets in front of you to realize he was flirting. “I think I would like that,” you said, not noticing where his eyes went. You were stunning, in a subtle, classy sort of way, and your mind…How could he not be drawn to you? He wasn’t usually this forward or flirty when it came to women, at least not at first, but you were different. “We could work…together…in here…alone…” he said, trailing off as his eyes traveled your backside, down your skirt, to your legs, and then your heels. “I could spend all day in here,” you admitted. “I may have some idea,” he said with a shrug as his gaze touched on a few things in his lab. “Ah, Tony, you have no idea how amazing this all is. “Seems like you two were close,” he noted. ![]() He would’ve thought an 80 year gap would be one hell of a hump to hurdle but you were doing it seamlessly. You understood all of the technology must faster than he thought you would. You were picking up on everything he threw your way. Tony was standing close, his hand on his table as he had been watching you in awe for the longest time. “You have no idea how many of his dreams you’ve achieved.” “Your father would be so proud of you,” you said suddenly as you eyed another project of his. Shout out to my beta Tags: Tags: spent about six hours in the lab with Tony, admiring his suits, looking over his computers, learning what a computer was, learning what the internet was, discovering his monitors and his heads up display that responded to his touch. I realize this is sort of…out of my usual scope, but inspiration struck so I went with it! I hope you like it! It also prompted me to binge watch Agent Carter from start to finish. Note: I thought of this as I watched Captain America: First Avenger, I loved Howard’s humor and his wit. Prompt: Imagine being in love with Howard Stark back in the 40s…Only to meet his son nearly a century later. ![]()
