[Zhongyingmei] Today I also survived

For Steve, Ivan's confession to him that night was like a dream he had. After that night, Ivan's attitude towards him did not change because of what happened that night.

To be precise, it is not without any changes.

Ivan's attitude towards Steve changed slightly, and he began to avoid Steve in various ways.

From the early morning of the next day, when Steve woke up, he found that Ivan was no longer in the Avengers building.

"Are you looking for Ivan?" Tony, who was sitting in the living room, was drinking coffee, he looked away from watching TV and looked at Steve who walked into the living room.

Steve didn't deny the idea, he nodded and sat on the sofa.

"He's not in his room," Steve said.

"He got up early," Tony said, "I asked me if he could go to work today, and he was very positive. He has already gone to the company, and it is estimated that he has been gone for more than 40 minutes."

After speaking, Tony put his coffee on the coffee table, and he glanced at Steve who was sitting diagonally across from him with a half smile.

"What's going on with you two?" Tony asked, taking a look at Steve's expression. "He didn't look right when he came to me."

Steve was silent for a moment, he glanced at Tony and said nothing.

Tony raised his eyebrows, he thought for a while and said, "You confessed?"

"It's not me." Steve replied Tony, he rubbed his eyebrows and thought about it.

"That is to say, he went to your company?"

Tony was still thinking that Steve didn't mean what he said, and he nodded at Steve's words.

After seeing Tony nodding, Steve stood up. He was going to go to S.H.I.E.L.D., and Nick Fury had something to do with him.Steve looked at his watch, he planned to chat with Ivan about what happened last night when Ivan came back in the evening.

After Steve returned to the Avengers building at night, he realized that his thoughts in the morning were too simple.

Ivan was not in the living room, Tony pointed to the direction of Ivan's room after seeing Steve.

"As soon as he came back, he hid in the room, said he didn't eat, and never came out again." Tony said.

It was only at this time that Steve vaguely realized that something was wrong, he put his coat on the sofa helplessly, and then sat down.

"I thought about what you said in the morning," Tony said as he sat across from Steve. "You said it wasn't you, you meant it wasn't you who confessed, was it Ivan? Ivan confessed to you?"

Steve nodded, and he glanced in the direction of Ivan's room.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Tony blinked, and he looked at Steve inexplicably, "He has confessed to you, and you like him too, so what are you guys playing now? Are you refusing or welcoming? "

"What are you talking about?" Steve sighed, and he looked at Tony. "It's obvious that Ivan is avoiding me. What's going on in your head? What do you mean when you say no?"

"He's avoiding you?" Tony looked at Steve. "Why?"

Seeing that Steve didn't answer, Tony suddenly lowered his voice: "You didn't reject Ivan, did you? You don't like him?"

"I didn't say no to him," Steve retorted, "I just... I was in a bit of a shock, so I didn't get back to him in time."

"He confessed to you, and you didn't reply to him?" Tony looked at Steve in astonishment, and after a while he slowly shook his head, "Captain, I think I'm right, your brain is definitely There is a problem with being frozen."

"Someone confessed to you, and you didn't respond," Tony said to Steve. "Ivan definitely thought you meant no, so he avoided you because he was afraid of embarrassment."

Tony stands up, patting Steve on the shoulder as he passes by.

"I personally suggest that you go to Ivan to clarify," Tony said, "otherwise he will definitely continue to misunderstand."

In a sense, what Tony said was half right. Ivan avoided Steve because of embarrassment.However, it's not like Tony said that he misunderstood Steve because he didn't respond.

Ivan avoided Steve simply because he was embarrassed and embarrassed by the series of behaviors he confessed to the night before.For Ivan, his confession does not need to be responded to, he just wants Steve to know his heart.

And Ivan, who hid in his room, was fidgeting alone.His mind was filled with the scene of his calm confession to Steve the night before, and the back and forth scenes in his mind forced Ivan to run into the bathroom and wash his face with cold water several times.

When someone knocked on Ivan's room, he had just come out of the bathroom. He wiped his wet hands on his clothes, and walked carefully to the door of the room.

"Uh...who?" Ivan asked.

"It's me," Steve's voice sounded outside the door, "Can you open the door? I have something for you."

Ivan's hand holding the doorknob stiffened suddenly, and he stared at his hand in embarrassment.

"I'm going to sleep," Ivan didn't know what he was talking about, "Let's talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do."

After this sentence was finished, Ivan realized what he had said. He raised his head regretfully, opened his mouth but did not make any sound.

There was no sound from outside the door, and Steve seemed to have left.

Ivan felt inexplicably sad. He stood at the door blankly for a while, then opened the door a crack, and the door was empty.The youth opened the door fully, and the lights in the room illuminated the corridor outside the room.

Suddenly a hand stretched out, it was Steve who had been standing by the corridor, and he grabbed Ivan's wrist.

"Finally out." Steve said.

The man's voice was a bit deep, but it sounded extra gentle. Ivan subconsciously avoided Steve's eyes, but he unconsciously listened to what Steve said.

"Why are you avoiding me?" Steve didn't wait for Ivan's reaction, he asked again patiently.

This time Ivan reacted, he froze for a moment, then raised his head and glanced at Steve.

"I feel...a little embarrassed." The young man's voice was exceptionally clean.

"I haven't made up my mind yet," Ivan said, "I don't know how to face you, don't worry about what happened yesterday, it's fine..."

Ivan's unfinished words were blocked by the man's lips. Ivan looked blankly at Steve in front of him. The man's suddenly enlarged face and the touch from his lips made him blushed belatedly.

"Yesterday was my fault." Steve let go of Ivan after a while, and he slightly lowered his head to look at the young man in his arms, "I didn't give you a clear response."

"Ivan Bird, I like you."

Steve's voice rang in Ivan's ear, and Ivan didn't know how to respond for a moment, he could almost be said to be a little stiff and nodded.

"Oh." Ivan stared blankly at Steve.

Steve seemed to laugh in a low voice, and then Ivan was hugged.The man's embrace was very warm, and Ivan hugged the man subconsciously.

It was only at this moment that Ivan realized what he had experienced just now, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he buried his face in Steve's shoulder.

"Well... let's go have dinner together tomorrow."

This time, it must be a perfect dinner.
