This was just supposed to be a once-in-a-while cat sitting gig to get Tony back on his feet. It wasn't supposed to be weeks on end at an amazing apartment, it wasn't supposed to be mysterious locked rooms, it wasn't supposed to be masked men in the middle of the night.

And it definitely wasn't supposed to be falling head over heels in love.

Tony Stark had a secret identity long before he became Iron Man.

Following his parents' deaths, Tony was desperate for some privacy from the press. So he and Hank came up with a way for Tony to be two people at once.

Then he discovers his crush on Steve is requited and he’s juggling two identities and a relationship, while working with Hank and Hope to figure out if Jan is alive. And then there's whatever Darren Cross is up to with the Pym Particles.

After being thawed, Steve's adrift in the 21st century. There's nothing for him here, just the endless cycle of pre-packaged food, pointless training exercises, and long hours at the gym.

Fourteen-year-old Tony Stark finds Captain America's broken radio in his father's safe and decides to repair it. It works, because of course it does, he fixed it, after all, and he gets to talk to a group of soldiers who can't share much about what they are doing, which is fine by Tony because while it is true that he is technically a student at MIT, he maybe wasn't entirely upfront about everything. This presents a problem when he develops feelings--okay, fine, a massive crush--on one of the soldiers.

When the mysterious group of vigilante assassins known only as 'The Avengers' are tipped off about the dirty secrets that lie within Stark Industries, Steve Rogers has his heart set on taking out Tony Stark for good in order to protect the rest of the world from his evil. He's seen the footage, after all- Stark is a man who fights only for himself. And of course, when a job arises as chief bodyguard for Stark, to protect him from the growing threat of an ominously infatuated stalker, the opportunity is way too good for him to miss out on. It's the perfect placement, and the perfect way to find out whether or not their tipoff is genuine.

But as Steve falls into rank as the new bodyguard for Mr. Stark and he spends time getting to know and protect him, his initial hatred begins to falter and merge into something different, something far more terrifying than the prospect of killing the face of Stark Industries.

Steve Rogers may just be falling in love with him instead.

Steve didn't like Tony Stark.

Stark probably didn't like Steve, either. They'd gotten off on the wrong foot, and that was putting it mildly.

And having to pretend to be a civilian Stark was dating, as cover for trying to save Stark's life while Iron Man was busy with a SHIELD mission, obviously wasn't going to help.

After Afghanistan and Iron Man, SHIELD gave Tony a choice. He could out himself as Iron Man, or claim it was a bodyguard, and hide his face from the world.

Agent Agent never said anything, but Tony had hacked SHIELD's servers and knew they wanted him to go the bodyguard route. Yes to Iron Man and no to Tony Stark, and all that.

That, as well as keeping Pepper safe, made him go with the bodyguard cover, and flimsy as he thought it was, no one questioned it.

Of course, why would they? Tony Stark was no superhero.

Although, it's less easy to keep a secret identity with a bunch of superheroes and spies living in your house.

“Hi, Cap,” he said, and his lips did the involuntary stretching towards his ears, because they didn't seem to be informed of the new ‘we do not act like a besotted school boy around Steve’ policy. In fact, none of the organs below his brain seemed to be on board with it. His heart was thudding, his palms were sweating and it was all Tony could do to stop his feet from moving past the fridge and straight into Steve’s personal space.

I wonder what he would think if he knew what kind of messages I'm exchanging with random people over the Internet.

He'd probably be horrified.

“JARVIS?” he said into the empty kitchen.

“Yes, Captain Rogers?”

Potential responses began to mass in his mind. JARVIS, I’m an idiot. JARVIS, this crush is getting out of hand. JARVIS, can you imagine any way, any possible way, Tony might be interested in me? JARVIS, some days I’m not sure if he even likes me. JARVIS, I think about him all the time. JARVIS, I’m ninety years old and I’m asking a computer program for advice on my love life. JARVIS, what should I do?
