Wrong? Why was the blond so perceptive sometimes? Most people wrote Tony off for what he was...a guy with manic mood swings who had probably gotten some sort of idea and now just wanted to go and work on it. Or that he was just plain rude. But not Steve. Steve could read something in him and Tony hated that.

“It’s better to leave before the lights come up and everyone sees us. You’re the guy that runs away from selfies and autographs.” That wasn’t all true. Steve was gracious to the people that looked up to him but he still didn’t like to be the center of attention save in official capacities. “Did you want to go somewhere else, or just back to the Compound?”

He wasn’t going to give Steve the creeps tonight. His obsession was his along. The guy was from the distant past, from when all things were clouded in fog and repression. And Tony would keep this to himself.
