Chapter Eight: Panic
"YOU ARE GROUNDED YOUNG MAN!" Olivia's voice shrieked as she grabbed an ice pack. Clint hung his head, and kicked his feet. Tony sat next to him, holding a piece of raw meat on his eye. "Honestly! You could have gotten hurt worst than this! And you could have been suspended! Or worst, expelled!" "I don't think it would have gotten that bad mom." Clint said and gave her a nervous smile, but Olivia's eyes sparkled with worry. She sighed and gave Clint the ice, and kissed the top of his head. "I know.. But I worry too much about you kids.. Please Clint.. Don't worry me anymore..." "I'll try mom." "Thank you. Now you two go to your room and relax." She told the boys. Tony and Clint got out of their seat and hurried along to their room. Bruce was sitting on his bed, swing gently typing on his laptop. Tony walked over one of the bridges over to his lab and closed the glass door. Clint jumped on the trampoline and then into his bed, swinging. "You shouldn't have pranked those jocks Clint." Bruce spoke up. Clint sat up onto his elbows and looked over at his brother. "They couldn't take a joke. Plus, they're getting new uniforms anyways." "How did you escape them? I mean, when they were chasing you." "Remember that Thor Odinson kid? He helped me out." Clint said.
Clint's mind drifted off to Thor, and he smiled at the thought. Thor may look big and scary, but he's really just a big teddy bear. Thor's big blue eyes, and that smile. "Clint? Clint! CLINT!!" "What? Who?" "You zoned out. I asked you what Thor was like." Bruce said and closed his laptop. "Oh, well he's kind. He talks funny, but otherwise he's pretty cool. His hair is long and his eyes sparkle- Shit did I just say that?" Bruce smirked and Clint looked at him. Tony, who had walked out of his lab, had heard him. "Someone liked Point- Break. You two have issues." Tony said and walked back into his lab. Bruce and Clint's faces flushed and they looked away. "This is awkward.." "You think? Man we've got it bad.." Clint said and threw a pillow over his face. He let out an annoyed groan, and Bruce sighed. "It doesn't matter.. Let's just finish our homework, and keep that ice on your shoulder." "Yes mother." "Shut up Clint."
Tony walked through the halls and smiled when he was Natasha talking with Steve. "Hey gorgeous." Tony said with a smirk. Natasha sighed and Steve blushed and hid his face behind his book. "What's with the nick-name Stark?" "Tony first off, and what can I say, it's the truth. I'll see you in class." Tony smiled and patted Steve's head, before walking off with a smirk. Tony sat in his seat, and waited for Steve. Steve sat next to him, and pulled out his textbook. "So... What ya doin?" "Reading." Steve said and kept it eyes in the page. Tony laid his head on Steve's shoulder, to look at the book. Steve shifted a bit, with a blush on his face. Tony smirked, but moved back.
Even though class started, Tony couldn't help but look at Steve from the corner of his eyes. Steve was just so beautiful, he felt as though he had to keep him safe. Steve had the face of a leader, but acted shy and it was cute. Tony had never felt like this towards anyone, and he's been in plenty of relationships. The shortest one lasted an hour because the girl made fun of Bruce. But something about Steve made him possessive, but he'd had only know the kid for like, two days! To Tony though, it's like they've known each other for years.
Class soon ended, and him and Steve walk with each other. "Can I have your number?" Tony blurted out. Steve looked over at him, and just stared. Steve then took out a pen and grabbed Tony's arm, and began to write on his wrist. "There. Text me. I'll see you later." Steve said, a massive blush on his face. Once Steve was out of sight, Tony cheered inwardly and ran to his next class to find Clint.
A month later
"Bye guys!" Steve told his brother before running to his locker. "Hey Steve." Tony said with a smile. Steve smiled back and grabbed his books, before following Tony to their class. Tony and Steve had become good friends, even after Tony bullied Loki. But that was behind them.
Steve smiled to himself, and looked out of the corner of his eye. Tony was really handsome. Steve might just have a small crush on him. Steve shook his head and sat down at their table, and began to doodle in his notebook. Tony leaned over his shoulder, like he did everyday. Steve could feel Loki smirking from the other room. Loki was probably using his magic or something. "You're really good at drawing. You should enter the art contest." "I'm not that good Tony. I wouldn't make it very far. There's people ten times better than I am." Steve said, closing his notebook as the teacher came in. Tony gave him a 'really' look, but then shrugged.
Steve sat out on the bleachers with Natasha as they watched the football team practice. Steve took a bite of his sandwich and smiled as Thor passed the players with ease. Thor was very talented when it came to sports, and he was super strong. "Hey guys!" Clint said and walked over to them, then took a seat next to Natasha. Thor looked over at Clint and smiled, and Clint blushed a bit and waved. "Man, you've got it bad." Steve smirked and continued to eat. "Hush Steve! Don't tell him either!" Clint said and crossed his arms. Steve laughed and pushed Clint playfully. "I won't. You and Thor would be a good couple. Thor needs someone like you." Steve told Clint, taking a drink of his ice tea. Clint scoffed and took a drink of Steve's ice tea. "That's mine." Steve whined a little voice, causing Natasha and Clint to laugh. "You do that way to well." "Well, when you've got brothers like mine, it's how you get around them." Steve smiled and took his tea back, drinking it.
Lunch ended and Steve waved goodbye to his friends, and walked down the hallway alone. This was the quiet hallway of the school, one that no one every used. It was normal always cold, because it was near the school's freezer. Steve turned the corner to fast, because he bumped into someone. "Oops! Sorry!" Steve said and stepped back, but gasped when he saw the jocks that fought Tony and Clint before. "Look what you did shorty!" The jock yelled, coffee staining his white shirt. Steve was lifted up and pinned to the wall, as the jocks looked at him. "Leave me alone!" "You're not getting away with this short stack." The other jock said, and then pointed down the other hallways, which lead to the freezer. Steve felt his heart stop as he was dragged through the hall, and behind the cafeteria where the freezer was. He kicked and yelled, hoping to get some help. He only received s punch to the stomach, and was tossed inside. He heard the door lock, and he pulled on the handle. Panic rose in his chest, and he felt the air he thin. 'No... A panic attack.. Not now!' Steve thought. He looked at the frozen walls and food around him. Ice. He screamed and fell to the floor, holding himself in a ball. Ice surrounded him, and he was stuck. He felt cold and useless. He couldn't breath. He felt his phone slip out of his pocket, and looked at it. He had 10 minutes left before it died. He entered the password best he could, trying to calm himself down. Tony's name popped up first.
Tony felt a buzz in his pants, and smiled at the teacher as she gave him a look. He excused himself and walked out into the hall against the teacher's protest, and answered it. "Hello?" "Tony... Help.." A weak and raspy voice said. "Steve? Where are you?!" Tony asked. "Freezer.. Help... Me-" the call cut off. Tony rushed down the hall without thinking, going around the familiar corners until he came to the freezer at the school. He unlocked it, and opened the door. Steve was laying on the floor, breathing shallow. "Steve!" Tony said and picked the younger boy up. Steve cried out, thrashing and kicking. Tony fought against Steve's attack, and got him out of the freezer. He sat down on the floor and pulled out his phone and called Bruce. "Tony? I'm in the middle of class-" "Where's Loki?" "What? Why?" "Because, ah shit. Look I don't know how, but I just saved Steve from being locked in a freezer and he's freaking out. Tell Loki." Tony said and hung up. He rubbed Steve's back, and whispered to him softly. Soon, a pair of footsteps came running down the hall. Loki appeared with the principal behind him. "Steven! Steven look at me. You are alive, you are ok. I am here. Thor is ok, and so is mother." "L- Loki.." Steve crooked out a sob, and Loki pulled him into a hug. Loki ran his fingers through Steve's hair, and hushed him softly. Steve calmed down, and Loki helped him use his inhaler. "Steven had a panic attack.. He has suffered these for many years, along with asthma attacks." Loki told Tony, still hugging Steve and rubbing his back. "Mr. Stark, how did this happen?" The principal asked him, concerned. "He didn't say much. He called me and told me to come and help him. I found him here and he started freaking out..." "Triggers?"
"Ice, a lot of it. If he is cold and if there is to much around him he has a panic attack... He must see Thor and my mother or he will not stay calm for long." Loki told them and picked Steve up. "Very well. Follow me to my office boys." The principal told them.
Thor and Willow arrived at the office in an instant. They both told Steve they were fine, and Steve started to calm down. "I'm sorry.." Steve whispered to Tony when they were alone in the nurses office. "What? Steve you don't have to be sorry." "You're probably going to get a detention because of me.." "And it'll be worth it Steve. I wouldn't hesitate to save you again. But who did this to you?" "Those jocks that hate you and Clint..." Steve said and leaned back in his chair. Those bastards. Soon, Steve's mom entered the room and started thanking Tony. "Thank you so much. I'm Steve's mother, Willow Hess." Hess... Tony knew that name. "Do you... By any chance know Olivia and Kyle Carson?" Tony asked her, shaking her hand. Willow looked at Tony, and the smiled brightly. "I do. I worked with them before I had my boys. You must be one of their sons." "Tony, Tony Stark." "That's why you look familiar. I saw you when you were a baby. You've grown so much Tony." Willow said with a smile. Steve looked confused, but stood up so his mother could hug him. "My poor baby! When Loki called me I almost had a heart attack!" "Mom..." Steve whined, embarrassed. She kissed his forehead, and then smiled at Tony. "Thank you Tony. Tell your parents I said hi. Come on Steve, we're going home." Willow said and lead Steve away with his brothers. Tony smiled to himself as he made his way back to his class. Steve's mom liked him.... He might just have a chance with Steve.
Author's Note: I know this story is discontinued but I was reading it and realized that I skipped an entire freaking chapter. So I fixed it really quick. I might get back to this but who knows.
