Tony | Superman
"I-" Tony started and stopped himself, okay maybe he was that obvious, he hoped he wasn't but if Old Fashioned was there asking him if Steve was his boyfriend or just someone he wanted to ask out sometime. "I mean - that is-" He struggled then to actually say what he was feeling and you know not just stumble over himself even more than he already had that night. "That's Steve - he just... we went to school together, he's my friend." And yeah maybe Tony would like to ask him out sometime but like considering how things had been going for him recently he could already picture how that would go. Some new person would arrive right on top of him or something and Steve would have some smart aleck remark about it that was way too clever and perfectly timed to be fair.
"Thick skin," Tony repeated, because sure people had thick skin but regular people didn't just get acid spilled on them and then come away unscathed. But if he didn't want to explain he could keep it to himself, just like he was doing with his name, what was one more little bit of information like that. "Nah it's okay, I wouldn't want you to like... try and find some acid to prove it." He huffed softly, hoping that had actually been a joke.
And hen he was asking about his thing and Tony wasn't entirely sure what he meant, until Old Fashioned started listing off different types and well.... yeah Tony knew exactly what he meant. "Uh... something between the two?" He said finally, Steve was - well he was a soldier through and through, but despite Tony's inability to function when his body was on display he did actually like him for more than his looks. And the way he was every bit the hero that people had always said he was made him like Steve that much more.
