Summery: Tony wants the star quarterback, but he's a hard man to catch.

For the: ✦ @capim-tinybang - Round 1 Inspired by [ART] Studying at the Library by laiwrites

Read below or on AO3 >Here<

Tony taps his pen against the page with overeager agitation. Trying to look at the guy beside him out of the corner of his eye without being noticed.

He and Steve had been paired off for a class project. Tony could kiss the professor. Well, no. He didn't want to.

There's someone else he'd much rather kiss.

He'd been trying to get the younger man's attention for months. But Steve was uncharacteristically shy and withdrawn for what you'd expect from a university’s star quarterback. Preferring to read or paint in his dorm than attend parties.

Tony had attended each and every party this year he'd been aware of, just to try to catch some time with Steve. 14,832 parties! Only 27 of which Steve attended. However, he was always flanked by his protective team of friends. The scary Russian international student, the guy whose long hair was the only thing disproving he was part of the Secret Service or FBI, and the football team's defensive back, Falcon. Oh, and the guy with the uncanny aim and the dog that everyone was unsure was an actual service animal.

The project gave him the opportunity he needed. One he'd not let slip through his fingers.

Over the four and a half weeks they've been working together on the project, Tony's been trying to work himself past Steve's defenses. Harder than what he expected or was used to, but Tony liked the challenge.

Tony was sure he and Steve were close enough for him to start pulling out the moves.

"So," Tony says, stilling his movements. "I was thinking..."

"Mmhmm," Steve shifts his position in his seat, scooting closer to the table. Eyes fixed on the notebook. He raises his hand to his face, spotted with blue flecks of paint, rubbing at his mouth absently.

"I'm going to grow a bread. I think I'd rock it,"

With a strangled squeak, Steve, leaning in to rest his elbow on the table, misses the table completely. His soft blue eyes wide with shock.

"...Steve?"

"Your face would look nice," Steve says, the bright blue of his jersey highlighting just how red his face was turning.

"It doesn't normally?" He asks, doing his best to hide his smile.

Horror floods Steve's face. "No!" A small flinch. "Yes. I mean-... It does. I think of your face often."

Warmth fills Tony's chest. "Well, uhh, me too."

THE END

A few, small things: • Tony is on his third degree (A Civil engineering degree that has a few courses that overlap with the part of the art degree Steve is pursuing. Something architecture-design…-esk). • Steve is part of the football team as part of a scholarship to pay for his art course. • The friends Tony mentions protecting Steve at the parties (In order): Natasha, Bucky, Sam and Clint. (In case it wasn't that clear). • Clint's dog (Lucky) is actually a service dog in this. People are just all ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

Pleasure To Meet You

This is my DianaxTony fic requested by my lovely follower @fangirlfannning, this is a Alpha/Omega fic and I’m not sure how long it will be. If you wish to be added to the tag list let me know! This has a slight dub-con esk feel to the beginning but it doesn’t last long and isn’t that bad! It has a happy ending i swear!

—————————-

“Tones?”

Tony ignored the call of his friend, staring up at the sky, wishing he could see the stars from up on the roof of his home. Unfortunately, the light pollution prevented that, he had to use his state of the art telescope just to see anything but the young Omega just couldn’t muster the energy to drag it out.

Within the mansion, Tony’s coming of age party was just getting into full swing. Once Omegas hit the age of 18, they were eligible to be married and courted. Those in high-end families were often pre-engaged at early ages. Arrangements made early to secure a strong future between two strong influence. Tony, the Omega that was smart enough to go to university in his early teens, somehow ended up in an arrangement with a royal Alpha.

His father had struck the deal when Tony was 14, young yet adventurous. His face still holding a youthful look yet starting to show signs of maturity. His pretty looks were a hot topic for the tabloids for ages and spread around like wildfire. When the Queen of the Amazons found out she had reached out- supposedly immediately.

Usually those in arranged marriages where introduced as children or as soon as the deal was made to try and get the fated couple to befriend and get used to each other. Making the chances of successful and happy mating, much greater.

Unfortunately and weirdly for Tony, his fated Alpha always seemed to be unavailable. He had never seen the one he was meant to mate. The Alpha preferring to run off abroad to train and do whatever Alphas do.

Probable making illegitimate children or sleeping around to boost their ego Tony thought bitterly. He meanwhile, was expected to remain pure and untouched. His father had made sure of that. Restricted to the mansion or only travelling with his family and escorted at all times since the deal was made 4 years prior.

Thank god he made friends with Rhodey before he became engaged, and that Rhodes was a beta otherwise Tony would have been looking at 4 years of absolute boredom.

Even getting his father to allow Rhodey to visit took a lot of persuasions, on both his and his mothers end before Howard allowed it.

“There you are Tones! The party has already started, your mothers worried and sent me to see if you were ready” Rhodes crouched down by his friend, his tone soft and gentle as he looks his friend over.

Tony has on a light blue suit with a pale pink shirt that was nearly white. Pearl pink his mother called it. The top two buttons were undone in a subtle sign of rebellion against tonight, omegas where meant to be conservative and proper after-all. Tony’s soft brown curls artfully mussed to look messy yet perfect. Large liquid brown orbs gaze up lazily at the sky, slowly they drag over to Rhodes. The beta dressed in a much darker navy blue suits and silver vest over a white crisp shirt that Maria made him wear when he first turned up in an ugly brown suit with weird square patterns on. She had nearly fainted at such a suit that was out of season by half a decade.

“Can’t you tell them I’ve mysteriously fallen ill?” Tony groaned as he sat up huffing at his peace being disrupted. Grimacing, Rhodey pulled him to his feet.

“I’m afraid I can’t tones if I thought I could get away with it, I would, however, your mum is a bloodhound when it comes to you.” Sighing Tony straightens out his clothes almost on autopilot. When he realises he frowns at his hands in somewhat betrayal and drops them.

He knows Rhodey hates this just as much as he does. Often they had fantasised about running away but, Howard had too big an influence to make the dream a reality. After so long not even meeting his mystery Alpha, Tony had hoped they may even break the arrangement. Hoping the Alpha finds another.

Taking a deep breath, Tony looks at his longtime best friend and nods at him. Resignation settling in the pit of his stomach. This was really going to happen, he was about to go down and meet his future Alpha that his parents picked. Lifting his mouth into a cruel smirk, Tony brings up his public persona- it worked great in throwing off the most cock-sure Alpha trying to pull one over him. It was the persona the paps loved to gossip about and speculate over. Writing articles on false assumptions, just the way Tony liked it. Keep them guessing, make them think they knew Tony and that they had him figured out.

“Well, Honey-bear. Let’s go down and join my lovely party!” Rhodey; bless him; offers his arm to the Omega as they head down to the main hall.

The enter the hall from a side door, they took the time to go to a more discreet entrance not wanting to make a big thing out of this. Looking around he lavish hall, Tony scrunches his nose up at the myriad of scents that assault his nose and confusing his senses. He hates parties as big as this one. After being secluded away or joining only so large a group, he’s not at all prepared for such a crowd.

Subtly pressing closer to Rhodey to breathe in his non-threatening neutral scent of cotton and light musk that’s pleasant yet calming to him. It fills his nose drowning out the many many posturing Alphas in the room. Nearly in every direction, Tony looks there’s Alphas posturing or gloating about something or another. Despite this party being about him meeting his matched mate now that he’s at the mating age, many high up social elites use this as a way to show off and one up others. Climb higher on that social ladder.

The room is filled with a rainbow of colours, bright yellows and daring reds seem to be dominating this season. Perhaps its popular for this type of party. Tony could hardly care, all he knew was that he was already rapidly developing a headache.

Together they moved through the crowd, Rhodey grabs two glasses of non-alcoholic juice handing one to Tony.

“Ooh, lovely mother ordered in j2O.” Humming happily Tony takes a sip of his drink glancing about the room for his parents or anyone that looks like royalty. As they keep moving, Maria soon finds them. A tight red dress that fits her perfectly and in the height of fashion seems to emerge out of the crowd before Tony’s very eyes. Her hair perfectly done up into a high bun and sprayed to the point that not one strand would even dare to move.

“Tony! There you are, come your father has been talking to Lady Hippolyta for ages waiting for you!” Fussing, Maria straightens Tony’s suit and huffs at his stubbornly undone buttons. Deeming it a battle she won’t win this time she plays with his hair a bit before deeming him appropriate to be seen by the Queen.

“Come, let’s go meet the Queen and your future Alpha! Oh, this is a dream come to” smiling fondly at her only son, Maria kisses Tony’s cheek and gently pulls on his arm to lead him along. Tony loves his mother, she may not understand his views but she does want him to be happy. Even if her actions see ill intended and often end up being so. She tries. Mor than his father does, at any rate, Howard just flat out doesn’t care for his son’s wants or desires.

All too soon, Tony spots his father talking to a group of women. Alphas nearly all of them if Tony is correct. And nearly all of them unusually tall as well. Their clothing looking almost like something from Ancient Greek. Yet somehow much more elegant than any other outfits in this hall.

Maria flitters up to the group and to her mates’ side pulling Tony into full view of the group, all eyes moving to him as if pulled by a magnet to the newly arrived Omega. Rhodey is a few steps behind, knowing he cannot interfere in this but close by for support.

“Queen Hippolyta, may I introduce my son, Antony? Antony this is Queen Hippolyta.” Howard beamed at his son, a smile that did not reach his eyes as he pretends to be happy to see his son while introducing him to the visiting group.

The Queen seems to see this as she raises a subtle eyebrow at Howard before turning to face the Omega fully, catching his eyes.

“Hello Antony, pleased to finally meet you, may I introduce my Alpha daughter, Diana?” Smiling much more genuinely, the Queen gestures to a younger Alpha at her side. Diana it seems, Is a tall woman. High magnificent cheekbones and flawless lightly tanned skin, her dark brown/black hair is pulled into a tight french braid to reveal her lovely face. Her dark welcoming eyes twinkle kindly when they meet Tony’s. Her body is lean yet strong looking. Despite what everyone else in the hall is wearing, Diana has on a wispy yet elegant blue dress, the outer layer is a sheer fabric that’s darker than the lighter satin like material. It slims and yet flatters her figure,

In a word, she was stunning.

Swallowing a bit as Tony tries to stop his gaze from trailing downwards too much, he nods respectfully to the beautiful Alpha.

“Hello, Princess Diana..”

“Hello, Antony” oh good Christ her voice is lyrical and smooth like honey! Tony was just barely holding back a blush at how much he loved her accented voice. Judging by her amused look, he wasn’t very successful.

Smiling proudly, Maria nudges Tony gently, “Tony, this is your mate”

This was his arranged mate?! The world seems to screech to a holt at those words. This was the one he was to marry and mate. Any other circumstance, Tony would probably be happy to hear those words. However, this wasn’t any other circumstance. Despite the pleasant smile on her face, how coULD Tony be sure they would be a good match. After all, for ages, she refused to meet him prior to tonight. What if she was putting on a show for her mother? For the sake of the arrangement? Someone this pretty could easily have any Omega or Beta she wanted. Tony wouldn’t be surprised if he found out that Diana had a side lover back in her Home kingdom.

Feeling his smile tighten at the edges. His face tensing Tony steels himself, “pleasure to meet you at last Alpha”

HELLO DARLING! I would LOVE to give you a full review! I haven’t done one of these in years and honestly they give me so much life. Friendly reminder! This is just my opinion / advice and you can take it all with a grain of salt! I already give you all the kudos because I know how much work goes into making a rpg and how close the admin feels to the concept so PLEASE! If I say anything to offend you hit me back because I do not by any means mean to offend you!

FIRST GLANCE.

url: okay real life my basic ass can’t sound this out and I’m not even gonna try but i TOTALLY UNDERSTAND HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND A URL especially with all the dead rpgs that tumblr refuses to get rid of even though they’re like 4+ years old it’s ugly behavior but I dig it!!!! I just have no idea what’s happening ( i refrained from reading your small lil bio you sent so I can get the full effect of finding you in the tags! )icon: LOVE IT, red is such a good look. At first I didn’t know what it was because I’m a basic ass bitch but now I see it’s two wine glasses. CLASSY, I’m already getting the vibe this might be a super like, classy-esk group am i right i hope so it’s still hella cute and I’m here for ittheme: Okay I dig it, like, it is a little bright for me because after looking at the icon I thought we’d maybe have some deep reds and maroons but LISTEN IT’S COOL IT’S STILL A LOOK !  Okay your sidebar graphic, I think you maybe made it 500px so it does this lil weird thing where it makes the texture on it a little wonky? That might just be me and it still looks good I’d maybe change it to be the face of the building? Well that’s the side bar, no I like the graphic that’s there just YEAH THE TEXTURE WHATEVER Im so picky with graphics and stuff and yet look at my theme it’s a trash can so like, take everything I’m saying as just like thoughts of my own you might think they look excellent and that makes me THRIVE your group is your child and I’m not trying to tell you how to raise it. Moving oooonnnnnnnn, I definitely dig how you’re using the same psd for your icons and the theme itself I feel like everything blends really really really nicely together and I NOTICED OK I SEE YOU it is a WHOLE AESTHETIC okay navigation: Very straight forward, very to the point. Just want to let you know that on your little sidebar nav you have the hover as /plot so YEAH IF I was lookin for a full review I’d want to know everything if thats what you were going for MORE POWER TO YA just letting you know bug! I don’t see a face claim page which is just extra work but sometimes people like to see those because then it lets them know if their fav face claim was taken without havin to look through all the characters, just so you know! I’m sure you do but y’know you FEEL me okay anyway! I love that you have an available jobs section I feel like that’s incredibly important and will be a huge help to everyone!other comments / thoughts: It’s a great look! The reds are a little harsh, I’d maybe take your background picture and slide it into THIS WEBSITE RIGHT HERE to get a few different softer hex codes and maybe swap that up a lil but that’s literally all! Oh, and the sidebar graphic! BUt like otherwise it looks great I love it!

DIGGING DEEPER.

plot: Okay I really dig the way you approached the biography, but it felt more like a character biography than a plot bio. BUT LIKE I SEE YOU, I see you stepping outside the box and trying to put people in he mindset that Michael was in because that might inspire muse but you know what I think you should do? Scrap Michael and write it from third person. I feel like writing biographies that sort of like force the reader to feel and experience it as if it were them is really cool. Like, an example would be “you inherited the shape of her nose and her love for the culinary arts” and like take them on Michael’s journey then keep the last two paragraphs the same. But that’s an entirely personal preference!rules: Straight forward, to the point, gorgeous! Only suggestion I have is probably put a little enter beneath every rule to space them out a little better. I’ve noticed it makes things easier to read and it’s not so congested? I love that is a lgbt+ rpg it is honestly a beautiful concept and lights my heart up with joy.characters: characters aren’t available but I’ll look over your available jobs instead, I am 100% here for you making various jobs only have so many roles or else you’d get like 600 of the same thing and that’s how you have a BAD TIME lmfao no but seriously no complaints no critiques this is gorgeousadmin attitude/vibe: Ugh, I fully support asking for verification with anons questions, sometimes they just spit the weirdest stuff? Like? Sometimes I don’t even know what they’re trying to ask me either so it’s always good to just check. You definitely give off a very welcoming vibe! I love it! I love the fact you ramble too! DO NOT EVER HOLD BACK! I love it. Everything. Just flawless.other comments / thoughts: The plot is interesting and the jobs are gorgeous and you just seem like an absolute dream, I’ve got really no other comments!

DIAGNOSIS.

I love the group, it definitely seems like it’s gonna be a good time and you seem to have a pretty tight grip on it! I am personally not a fan of contained themes for rps but yours looks cute! With the plot, though, considering it’s so like, wealthy and expensive I definitely expected a deeper / darker theme, like maybe some blacks and deep maroons? BUT THATS JUST ME! I am still here as fuck for your psd matching your whole theme so I totally don’t want you to change the whole color scheme or anything. I really hope I helped and I wish this rpg nothing but the best!
