prompt - the first time Steve and Tony realize they’re attracted to one another

Steve was listening to his iPod as he entered the bathroom, so he didn’t hear the shower turning off.

He had just shucked off his final artical of clothing - his boxers - when he heard a gasp from behind him, and he turned, immediately getting into defense mode.

Steve was shocked to Tony, standing right outside of the shower, naked. Tony was dripping wet from head to toe, and Steve couldn’t help but follow a few drops that made their way down his abs to his-oh.

He blinked a few times, swallowing away the dryness in his throat, as his eyes moved up to look in Tony’s eyes, which were catagloguing him, like he’d just done to Tony.

Steve cleared his throat, shifting on his feet, and Tony’s eyes snapped up to meet his, looking darker than he’d ever seen them.

“I’m…um…I’m sorry,” Steve muttered, his face turning bright red, as he removed his headphones. “I…I didn’t hear the shower running.”

Tony cleared his own throat say, “It’s okay. Really.”

There was an awkward pause.

“So, why do you have your iPod with you anyway?” Tony asked curiously.

Steve smiled, looking down at the device, “I was going to listen to music while I was in the shower.”

Tony stared at him for a moment, before he burst out into laughter, and Steven just stared at him in confusion.

“You’d get electrocuted, Big Guy,” Tony explained, discreetly licking his lower lip.

“Oh,” Steve said, looking down at the iPod with wide eyes. “I didn’t know that.”

“Obviously,” Tony nodded. “I’ll get you a dock, so you can listen to it.”

He started scouring the bathroom for a towel, looking annoyed, before he turned to Steve, who was watching him move.

“I know you enjoy looking at the fine piece of ass,” he stated, making Steve’s eyes rush up to meet his, a blush creeping onto his cheeks at being caught. “But can I borrow your towel? I’ll bring in a new one.”

Steve just nodded, handing Tony the towel.

Tony walked out into Stark Tower, looking for a dock that he could let Steve borrow, when Bruce walked into the room.

“What are you looking for?” the scientist asked.

“Ahah!” Tony said triumphantly, as he found the dock and turned to Bruce. “This.”

“Why would you need that?” Bruce asked, his eyebrow raised.

“Steve wants to listen to his iPod in the shower,” Tony explained, not meeting the other man’s eyes.

“But you have on built into the shower,” Bruce replied, looking suspicious.

Tony just shrugged, putting a finger to his lips, saying, “Sh!”

Then, he walked back toward the bathroom, where a very naked super soldier was awaiting his return.
