Narrator's POV

Tony was awake now. He kept his eyes closed. Curse his body for naturally waking him up. He groaned and pulled his arms in closer, wanting to snuggle his wizard in a little closer. His eyes shot open once he felt Stephen's absence. "Ste-"

"Hi, Tony." Stephen said at the doorway.

"Oh." Tony sat up and looked at him. He rubbed his eyes. "Good morning." He smiled at him.

"Good morning." Stephen said. "Hey listen, I've got classes to run to right now. So I'll be seeing you later, okay? Bye." Stephen dashed out.

"I-" Tony didn't even get to say goodbye. "Hmph." He crossed his arms and slouched.

>Knock Knock<

Tony's head perked up when he heard two knocks. Had Stephen come back?

"Tony?" Bruce popped his head in.

"Oh." Tony groaned and fell back in the bed.

"Good, you're up." Bruce stepped in. "Ready to work?"

"Five more minutes." Tony groaned and put the covers over his face.

"Oh, come on." Bruce laughed and went to the foot of the bed. "Get up." He pulled the covers away from Tony, exposing his red boxers with teddy bears on them.

"Bruuuuuce." Tony whined, curling himself up. He was cold. "Go away."

Bruce laughed. "Hey." He looked around. "Where's Stephen?" He asked.

"He had classes or something to go to." Tony said, wrapping himself around a pillow. He couldn't lay down without embracing something.

"Oh." Bruce said. He looked at Tony. "Anyway." He took him by the ankle. "Time to get up." He yanked him.

"GAH!" Tony was jerked off the bed.

"Does anyone know the answer?" Asked the professor standing in the front of the class. Every student had their hand down, looking in books, writing or looking around; all except one. He was snapping his fingers in order to get the teacher's attention. He knew the answer. He had answered every question the teacher had asked. "Anyone?" The teacher asked.

>snap< >snap<

"Come on guys. One of you ought to know." She said, still ignoring the student snapping his fingers.

>snap< >snap< >snap<

He had had enough. "I do! Mrs. Mellow, I know the answer." He said, standing up.

She sighed and closed her eyes, finally giving up. "Yes, Stephen?" She gave him a smile.

"It's the formula for acceleration: m/s^2." Stephen said.

"That is correct." She said. "Acceleration is..."

Her words dragged on by for all the other students, except Stephen. He loved physics. It was his favorite.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

Tony looked up from his work station and at the clock of the projection screen. He turned off his torch and looked over at Bruce, who was working on a shoulder plate. "Hey, Bruce."

"Hm." Bruce said, focusing on his work.

"Wanna get something to eat? I'm hungry, and I'm felling like a cheeseburger." Tony said.

"Sure. Let me just finish this reeeeeaaaaallll quick." Bruce said, placing a coating on the plate. "There." He picked it up. "Like it?" He turned to Tony with the plate in hand.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's get something to eat." Tony stood up and removed his welding helmet. Bruce followed him out the door and into the hall.

"So you think we'll get that done before the spring semester?" Bruce asked Tony.

"I don't know. I don't care." Tony said carelessly. "Honestly, I just want to make sure I do it right. You know, take the time to make sure everything is perfect."

They stopped behind some people at the lunch line.

"You're right." Bruce said. "Better safe than sorry. You know this one time I was mixing some sulfur with..."

Tony quit listening to his friend when a familiar voice settled in his ears. He looked around for it's owner. Then he saw him, a few places in front of him in the lunch line. It was Stephen. A goofy smile spread across his lips. Oh, his wizard was so precious.

"Oh, Stephen. You're funny." A female voice came.

That wiped the smile off his lips. He looked around a bit. He saw Alina next to him, she had a hand on his back.

"Alina." He hissed.

How dare she even touch him?

Stephen said something and she laughed.

Oh, that's the fakest laugh I've ever heard.

She swished her hair. Was she trying to impress Stephen? Oh that wasn't happening. Tony squinted his eyes at her. He wasn't pleased.

I hate you Alina. You and your stupid swishy hair. I can't wait to attend your funeral. You maybe be touching my wizard's arm, but I hold him at night. What does your swishy hair think of that? Alina. I'm gonna blast you with my suit Alina. I'm gonna grow hair so that it's swishier than yours Alina. I'm gonna touch my wizard's private's too Alina. Wait-

"Tony? Tony, are you listening to me?" Bruce's voice came into Tony's ears, interrupting his thoughts. "What are you looking a-" Bruce turned to the direction Tony was facing.

"Nothing!" Tony blushed and turned away.

"Ooooooh." Bruce smiled. He looked over at Tony. "You're so in love with hi-"

"I need a napkin!" Tony yelped, holding his nose.

A few people turned around to him, one of them being Stephen.

He saw Tony run away from the line.

Tony rushed into the bathroom, going over to the sink. He pulled his hand away from his face. Blood stained his hand and flowed out of his nose. He turned on the faucet and washed his hands, then splashed his face with water.

"Come on, Tony." He slapped himself a few times. "Get it together. What's wrong with you?" He asked himself. He leaned over the sink, then looked up in the mirror.

His reflection showed his tainted cheeks, his nose still had a little blood coming out of it.

Had he just thought about sexing Stephen? Oh god! No, no, no, no, no. He wasn't gay, was he? Does that mean he was gay? Oh, god.

Tony put his hands to his head. This couldn't be. "Am I..." He asked himself. "Is that why..." He thought. "B-But all these girls I've..." He looked up at his reflection. "And Stephen..." His cheeks turned red and his heart beat hard. "Oh, god."
