About more of a month has been passed, and Steve and Tony have been fighting each other for Y/N's love. Both men tried to swoon him, but they also tried to sabotage each other, mainly Tony. Meanwhile Y/N is oblivious to it, only making some confuse faces at them.
Today, Steve has a new strategy. He thought Tony's gift giving strategy was flawed because of the money, yet he got an idea. What if he gives a gift from the heart? Thus, he bakes some brownies for him. Y/N is on the couch, playing his favorite video games on the switch. Steve walks towards him.
"I made you something." Steve says with a kind smile.
Y/N looks up to him and look surprise. "For me?" Y/N set his switch on the table and Steve gives him the brownies. "Holy crap, this smells good."
Steve chuckles. "I'm glad you like it."
Y/N looks back at him. "Thank you. Why did you make this?"
Steve stays silent for a second or two, trying to find his words. "I like... spending time with you." Steve says the last part trying to cover up his hurt.
Y/N smiles. "I like spending time with you too! You're special to me." At this Steve looks happy. You're like... a brother to me." Steve heart broke. Y/N looks really embarrassed at his confession.
"Umm, thank you Y/N..." Steve tries to make Y/N feel happy, even if this isn't the way he wanted. "You're like a brother to me too." He tries not show his hurt.

Tony invited Y/N to his room, having a great new idea. He got shade from Steve for buying Y/N's love. Thus, he got a new idea. He decided to hang out with Y/N. The twist is, Y/N is helping Tony with his outfit for a party Tony invited Y/N to. Tony is going to use his charm, and sex appeal, to swoon Y/N.
Y/N arrives at Tony's room. Tony immediately smiles at him. "Thank you for coming."
"You're welcome."
Tony walks to his walk-in closet and Y/N follows. "I need a good outfit, and I want you to pick it. Your opinion is important to me."
They arrive in the walk-in closet. Tony removes his shirt, showing his amazing torso. This makes Y/N look away awkwardly. Tony notices this. "Do you mind?" He gestures to the clothe he's wearing.
Y/N looks awkwardly at him. "Umm, no."
Tony smirks. He removes his shoes and then his pants. Y/N just look the other way. Tony is now in his briefs and notice that Y/N isn't looking. "Hey Y/N, what do you think of my Stark underwear line?" He spins around, showing his body to Y/N
Y/N looks embarrassed at Tony. "It's very... adult-y."
Tony looks down with a proud smile. He knows that Y/N is commenting on his bulge. "Thank you. That was what I'm going for."
Y/N looks away. "Umm... Tony I'm not really comfortable with this. It's like seeing your father in his underwear."
Tony looks confuse at him. "What? Why do you think that?"
"Well... if I got to be honest, you're kinda like a... father to me." Y/N confesses.
Tony cringe when he heard that. "Why do you think that? I'm not a dad, and I'm not even that old!"
"Because you taught me how to drive, you surprise me with gifts like a father do with his children." Y/N explains.
Tony stomach begins to feel sick. "Well, thank you for telling me. You're special to me as well." He says with a forced smile.
Y/N nods and turns around. "So, can you continue showing your outfits?"
"Yeah, yeah sure." Tony turns towards his suits and pick it up. "Holy fuck, I want to be an alcoholic again." He mutters angerly at himself.
-
After the failure Steve got from Y/N, he decided to make his feelings clearer to him. Steve told him to meet up in the dining hall at 10 PM. He covered the table in a clean, white sheet with candles on it and made delicious dishes for him. Y/N arrives and see the lit-up candles. He looks in awe. Steve walks out of the kitchen, carrying multiple plates of food. He locks his eyes at Y/N and smiles.
"You arrive."
Y/N smiles. "Thank you for inviting me. This looks amazing!"
Steve sets the dishes on the table. "You ready for dinner?"
Both men sit and begin to dig in the food. They are happily talking to each other and enjoy each other company. Soon, the food got eaten and both men are just talking.
"Did you enjoy the food?" Steve asks.
"Yes, Steve you really are a great cook! You need to teach me sometime soon!" Y/N says excited.
"Will do. We can do it tomorrow?" Steve suggests.
Y/N nods. "Sure, I hope I can learn to cook-" He moves his hands to his throat and begin to breath slower. "Steve, are there any shellfish is this dish?"
Steve looks worried at him. "I used shrimp in the dish."
Y/N looks panicked. "Shrimp!? Steve, I have a shellfish allergy!"
"What!?" Steve looks panicked as well.
"I begin to feel hazy..." Y/N wheeze while holding his throat. "Call an ambulance..."
Steve picks his phone and calls the ambulance. He knew then that his plan was ruined and hoped that Y/N understands that he didn't know about his allergy.
-
Tony developed a mid-life crisis. After he heard what Y/N's true feelings, he just felt old... really, really old. He begins to wear a cap, a basketball shirt with a light blue colour, dark blue shorts that is above his knees and black sneakers. Everybody either got worried or made fun of him.
"Who brought this kid here? Bring him back to the retirement home!"
"I'M NOT OLD CLINT, YOU'RE THE OLD ONE!"
He begins to slack his work and begin naming it 'nerd shit'. He instead begins to play basketball. He invited Y/N to watch him.
"This building has a basketball field? How much shit is here?" Y/N ask himself when he walks in.
Tony run towards him with a basketball in his hand. "What's up bro?"
"Tony, what are you doing...?" Y/N feels worried for him and is frankly kinda creeped out of him.
"Playing basketball man." Tony responds with a typical street talk tone. "Want me to dunk this one, huh?"
"Tony, I think it's time to see a psychiatrist."
Tony looks surprise at Y/N's reaction. "Bruh! What do ya say dat?!"
Y/N looks awkwardly at his friend. "Because you're acting like you're 20 or something, which is clearly not how 20 years old acts, even though you're over 50."
"I'M! NOT! OVER! 50!" He yells at him. Y/N can see how unhinge Tony is in his eyes. Tony grabs the ball tight and run towards the backboard. He surprisingly leaps high enough to dunk the ball in the ring as he holds on to it. Y/N looks surprise at him. "WHO IS THE BOSS!? I'M THE BOSS! I'M A YOUNG, GOLDEN GOD!" He then accidently let loose of the ring and drops on the ground. He immediately let out a yell and holds his right leg, which makes Y/N flinch. "I THINK MY LEG IS BROKEN!"
"Hey Y/N, there you are!" Clint says excitedly and walks in. "Are you ready for our d-" He then sees Tony, groaning out of pain while holding his leg. "What's with the child?" He looks back at Y/N.
"I think he twist his knee or something." Y/N answers.
"IT'S HURT SO MUCH!" Tony cries out.
"He really is loud when he has his breakdown." Clint sighs, looking at Tony. "Let's bring him to the infirmary."
It's late at night. Steve is finally done with the tension of not telling his love and is striding towards Y/N. Tony has the same sentiment, and stride towards Y/N's room as well, well, limp towards Y/N's room, since he has twisted ankle. When both men arrive in near Y/N's room, they immediately glare at each other.
"Tony." Steve greets him.
"Steve."
Both men are standing in front of Y/N's room, both looking at each other with tension. "Are you supposed to be here?" Steve asks.
"Yeah. I'm pretty sure you don't have to be here. I got a phone call from the fridge, missing one of its frozen food." Tony then knocks on Y/N's door.
"Haha, how funny. Kinda remind me of your breakdown." Steve then knocks on Y/N's door. "Speaking of which, how is your leg?"
"Good. It's feels better, unlike the poisoning you did to Y/N." Tony says proudly.
Steve turns to Tony and look pissed at him. "Well, at least he didn't give me a mid-life crisis."
Tony turns to Steve and look mad at him as well. "You know what I like about you? I like how you visit you're little brother called Y/N. That's nice."
"At least he didn't call me 'father'!"
"That was in a sexual way!"
Steve scoffs. "No, he didn't!"
"Yes, he did! You're just jealous that this body is all natural unlike your body that is full on steroids!"
"Like your body is perfect! If you get a cut and somebody drinks your blood, they will probably get drunk thanks to all the alcohol you've been drinking!"
Tony just laughs him off. "Wow, and I thought I was an asshole! Y/N needs to hear this!"
"Then let me remind Y/N how many people you slept with! Wait, I forgot! I lost the count after thousand man and woman!"
"Of course, you lost the count! You're all muscle and no brain! Fun fact, Y/N likes smart guys!" Tony says the last part in a condescending tone.
"Like you're smart!"
"Hell, yeah I-"
The door opens only a little and Clint look at both men tiredly. "Tony? Steve? What are you both doing here? Can you both fight somewhere else?"
Steve and Tony look at each other confuse and look back at Clint. "What the fuck are you doing here?" Tony asks him.
"Sleeping." Clint answers and let out a yawn.
"I thought this was Y/N's room." Steve says confuse.
"It is." Clint answers cut and dry.
They both look even more confuse. "I ask again, why the fuck are you here?"
"Spending the night with my boyfriend." He answers tiredly.
Tony chuckles. "You have a boyfriend? That's surprising. Also, it's a dick move use Y/N's room. Not cool."
Clint sighs. "That's okay, because he's my boyfriend."
Steve and Tony look surprise at him. "What!?" "When!?"
Clint flinches at their reaction. "Can you keep it down? I'm tired and Y/N is sleeping."
"When are you two a thing?" Steve asks.
"Remember during valentine when Y/N invited us to bowling." Clint begins to explain. "Well, after that, I talked to Y/N in private and confessed my love to him. He felt the same and ever since we gone out on dates and become a couple."
"Are you kidding me!" Tony yells to Clint, which makes him flinch again.
"Stop shouting." Clint says tiredly.
"Go break up with him. I'm your boss, so do it." Tony looks mad at him.
"But I'm the leader Tony." Steve corrects him.
"Shut up." He glares at Steve and looks back at Clint.
"That sounds really, really stupid. I'm not going to do that." Clint says tiredly.
"You know what? Go stand in the hallway so I can beat your ass." Tony threatens him.
"I won't do that." Clint replies. "I don't even wear any clothes."
Steve looks surprise again at Clint. "You're naked?!"
"Yeah."
"You had sex with him!?" Tony also looks at Clint surprised.
"No, we made love."
Tony just looks intense at him. "What does that mean?!"
"It means that we had an emotional connection with each other. It was our first time, and Y/N felt nervous, but I reassure him it was going to be alright and not to think about the 'what ifs'. It was the best moment in our relationship because it means we can trust each other."
Steve looks confuse while Tony looks disgusted. "You really are a pussy Barton." Tony says in spite.
"Well, at least I'm with Y/N." Clint says casually. "I do have a solution for you two." He looks at both of them.
"And that is?" Steve asks.
"You can date each other. That way, you can stop bothering my boyfriend and accidently hurt him," He looks at Steve. "Or hurt yourself." He looks at Tony. "Just be glad he views you as a dad and you a brother, otherwise, I told him the truth about you two and said he should stop hanging out with you two bozos." Steve and Tony struck silence thanks to Clint's roast. "Also Tony, don't give someone a animal for a present. That's just wrong giving someone such a responsibility. I wish you good night." And with that, Clint closes the door, leaving Tony and Steve alone.
Both men look at each other. "That stupid, cuntly man called Clint Barton!" Tony yells out in frustration.
Steve just looks tired. "You know what, I'm kinda done with this. I'm off to bed." And thus, Steve goes to bed, leaving Tony alone.
He just let out a tired groan. "I need a drink."
