What If Steve Rogers was Asexual ?

Not edited or proof read

♾

Steve played with his food as he sat beside in Tony in Tony's penthouse, his Ma used to say that it's wrong and bad manners to play with food but he couldn't help it. He felt like throwing up because once again his sexuality will end his possible shot at a loving relationship...loving, unlike the one with Connie. No.

"Flag face ? Capcake, I am running out of nick names...ah there you are ! Got a little lost there ?"Steve rolled his eyes fondly "The Tony Stark is running out of nicknames ? Such a shame" he let out a mocking 'tsk' noise but the nervous smile remained on his face

"Does that happens often ?" Tony referred to the little trance as he stabbed his cheese nugget and ate it

"No..." Steve murmured "Tony...I need to tell you something before we go further in this..." dating thing

Tony hummed encouragingly, unable to make out an meaningful word as his mind mapped over thousand of reasons why Steve would want to stop seeing ¿ dating ? each other

"We can't have sex" Steve blurted

What ?

"No-no -no I am doing this wrong, I mean I don't want to have sex with anyone, not just you !"

oh oH OH !

Realisation dawned upon his face "you are scared ? It's alright ! We don't need to ! Not right away, we can ease it in" he gave suggestive eye wiggle

It was Steve's turn to be dumbfounded as his mouth fell open, he composed himself "Tony" he leaned in, so did Tony "I am Asexual"

"Wait seriously !?" Tony squeaked

"Yeah...would that be a problem ? I don't like to have sex or anything like that I know you do and i'll do it for you, if you want, anything you want—" Steve was cut off with a warm pair of lips on his own

Tony slowly slips into steve's lap and let's his hands through steve's Hairs as the blonde leaned into the touch "Darling..." Tony whispered as Steve squeezed his eyes shut "you don't have to do anything that you don't want to, and i'll still love you, okay ?"

Steve nodded against Tony's chest, basking in the blue light of his glowing reactorTony buried his face in steve's freshly washed hair and let's his nose be filled by the sandalwood scented hairs

"But what about you ?" Steve looked up at Tony, breaking their previous comfort of silence

"What about me ?" Tony quizzed looking back into Steve's gorgeous blues

"You still need to have sex..." I am not enough for you

"Eh my imagination is good" Tony grinned at Steve and kissed his temple "nothing you don't want" he murmured

"Nothing I don't want" Steve nodded, letting his head fall back to its previous place, Against Tony's heart

Tony let's his fingers back into steve's hairs, massaging his scalp as he buried his nose back into Steve's blonde head. His mind couldn't help but replay the conversation why does Steve thinks that I'd force him into something he doesn't wants...is that what he thinks about me ? It pained him to think that Steve thought Tony would force him...Yes, he was a playboy but he never forced himself onto someone. Never.

"Steve ?" Tony asked after a bit of calming silence, Steve hummed, asking Tony to go on "Why did you think that i'd force you into sex ?"

Steve slipped his both hands across Tony's waist tightly, as if the brunette would disappear or runaway if he told the truth.
"Connie Ferrari" Steve mumbled
"Our prosecutor ?" Tony asked confused "what did she do ?" A protective tone laced his voice as he hugged Steve back
"Way back before, when she wasn't our prosecutor, we were in a relationship, when I told him about my sexuality..." Steve physically shuddered and curled inwards
"You don't need to continue if you don't want to sweet heart" he rubbed Steve's back soothingly
"No, I am good" Steve sucked a sharp breath "she said that it's alright and she won't do anything that I am not comfortable with and I believed her but she didn't— she didn't kept her promise Tony"
Tony could feel his shirt dampen near his reactor but he decided not to comment on it as he kept muttering sweet nothings to his love
"After 4 months of dating she accused me of lying about my sexuality and asked me to prove it that I don't enjoy sex, she-she manipulated me into it, and I hated it, Tony, every second of it...it felt wrong and I—" he pulled Tony closer "half of my life I thought I was broken due to what I felt regarding it but then I woke up here and I knew that I was anything but broken, just different bu-but it made me feel that again and I hate it, I hate feeling broken" Steve kept his faced down, embarrassed by his confession and afraid of Tony's reaction
Tony was angry, angry at Connie for hurting his love, angry at himself for not being able to protect him but then why did Steve trust him ?
"Why me ? Why did you—"
"Because I don't like you, I love you and I trust you" Steve looked up into Tony's eyes to convey the sincerity of his words
His heart fluttered as warmth bloomed in his chest, he couldn't help but smile at his lover. He had to convey that he loved him too and trusted him with his life but words aren't enough to convey what he felt...never will be.
"Steve, Honey, I am glad that you told me that" Steve smiled innocently at Tony as the brunette cupped his cheek, Tony kissed his cheek and nuzzled into crook of steve's neck while Steve sighed in contentment and leaned his head against Tony's now dried shirt (The heat from the reactor is sometimes a pro) and lulled himself to sleep, listening to the light whir from the reactor and Tony's steady heartbeat

. . .
Needless to say Connie Ferrari was fired and jailed for sexual harassment the very next day

FYI ! Connie Ferrari was an actual love interest of Steve's in the comics and she did date Steve before she became avenger's professional prosecutor.
