Fanfic- Harsh-verse- PG-13- for axolotl_lan

Title: The Future Will Leave You Breathless
Author: Panda
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Steve/Tony
Disclaimer: Marvel's
Summary: Because he was afraid Steve would never forgive him for not saying good-bye.
Notes: For axolotl_lan.  I hope your hands feel better soon!!!
 

Alright well… I tried to type up the next chapter of Harsh for axolotl_lan but there was a problem. This is a bit from the Harsh storyline that doesn’t take place for a LOOOONG WHILE but this damn conversation WOULDN’T GET OUT OF MY HEAD! So I gave in and wrote it out and tried something new with it. It’s placed in canon, as is the rest of the storyline. Steve and Tony have been together ever since right after Disassembled FYI (I’m working on that chapter too >.>)

 ENJOY!

o       Who’s this?

o       Hey Steve.

o       Oh! Tony! Hey. You calling from your friend’s place?

o       Maya. Her name’s Maya.

o       Right. How’s it going with her? Remembering old times?

o       Sure. I really shouldn’t be too much longer. Ya know?

o       Yeah. You ok? You sound… tired.

o       No I’m fine. I’ll be fine. I just wanted to hear your voice.

o       You still stressed out about that board meeting? I told you, they’re nothing without you.

o       I know. I just… You calm me down.

o       (laughter) Me? I can’t tell by the way we argue sometimes.

o       That’s because I never say what I really feel.

o       You say plenty. You should just stop talking all together. That’d make an interesting date. What would we talk about if not repulsor manifolds?

o       Hmm.

o       But everything’s ok? Need me to come down there and beat someone up for you?

o       (laughter) (coughing)

o       Tony?

o       Nah kitten. It’s nothing like that.

o       Then what’s it like?

o       I just miss your face.

o       Well, you’ll see it soon right?

o       Yeah.

o       Just take care of yourself… ok?

o       Sure. I’ll give myself an upgrade.

o       Whatever you say Iron Man. I like you just the way you are.

o       I know. That’s… I’m sorry.

o       Sorry? About what?

o       I just always mess everything up. We’re finally goin’ along fine and I… (coughing)

o       Tony what? You sound… You’re slurring a little.

o       No! It’s not… that, I… haven’t slept.

o       When was the last time you ate?

o       I don’t know.

o       You eat something after you hang up the phone ok?

o       I’ll try.

o       Where are you Tony? Are you at Maya’s place?

o       I’m gonna… go to sleep for a while. Then I have to be near Maryland for a couple of hours.

o       That’s a good idea. Get some rest.

o       Steve?

o       Tell me.

o       Things change. You know that (You know that better then anyone). But… just because it’s not what you’re used to, or your head starts pounding and you can’t think straight, doesn’t mean that the future won’t be ok. That the future won’t leave you breathless. Because it will! It has. Every time I think… (coughing)(choking) Every time I think I’ve seen it all, or that the future will just be left to the killers and the people without hearts in their chest, every time I think I might lose you and how I could never survive that, I know… The future will go on. And more amazing things will happen. Even if I’m not by your side to see them.

o       Tony! What are you--

o       And you’ve seen more of what the future can hold than any man I know. You’re going to be fine. You’ll go on living, because the future in your eyes is so perfect and beautiful and just once I wish I could see it the way you do! Maybe after this…

o       Where are you now? I’m coming over there.

o       I love you.

o       … I… I love you too.

o       I’ll call you tomorrow. Everything will be finished by then. And everything will be ok.

o       Where are you?

o       It’ll still be me. Just like when I became Iron Man for the first time. It was still me. It was a me I wanted to take into the future. This one will be too.

o       I can’t find you on the tracker Tony. Did something happen to the armor? Tony!

o       We should be starting soon. I know I coded it right.

o       Tony! Tony? Damnit Stark answ--
