"Focus? I'm all about focus, baby."
He said with a coy grin spreading across his face before a familiar voice reached his eardrums did he turn his gaze in the direction of a white servalline, the smile dropped off his face and his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. He felt his heart thumping within his chest, he could almost hear how loud it was. "Old man?" That seemed to make him snap out of his brief trance as he blinked his mocha colored pools at Killua only to find a grin reappearing on his face and tugging at his black lips "Well, I'm sure as hell not getting any fucking younger." Was what he finally said closing both of his eyes and letting out a chuckle, he reopened his eyes a flicker of concern in his eyes before his curved ears swiveled back until they pressed against his cranium with a light frown. He could remember the time Killua had been hurt and well, it just hurt the old man's heart to see the kid in this kind of condition though he refrained from asking as he said with a curt nod "So how's it hanging, Koala?" Just when he was about to throw in some more teasing, a femme had decided to come to the scene and express her "disgust" for the way Stark made heart eyes at Steve. He couldn't help but snort with a roll of his eyes "I'm pretty sure they're more googly eyes than heart." Now, he was being a sarcastic fuck and well, he had his share of teenage sarcasm that he could return it just as powerfully. He was about to say more until Steve introduced them and spoke their purpose.
"Took the words right outta my mouth."
The disturbance bit was what made Stark release a wheezy laugh "Alright then, Little Miss Anti-Romance. Calm down, we'll make sure not to make kissy faces in front of you if it bothers you that much. How old are you? Five months old? You certainly act your age if it is," She had decided to mess with the wrong guy at the wrong time. He was basically the God of Sarcasm and horrible humor, she was a puny demi-goddess for all he cared. He snorted another time adding with a shrug of his shoulders "Even my own kids didn't make such a big fuss when I would kiss someone or make supposed heart eyes. There are better terms for that but you picked the most childish one. Now, let's see. . . Time to educate you, five month old." He paused clearing his throat and speaking with his eyes closed speaking in a matter-of-fact voice "Here's an example of what causes people to love each other or give heart eyes; adequate brain levels of testosterone seem important for both human male and female 'love' behavior. Norepinephrine and serotonin have a less significant, contributing role through their neuromodulatory effects upon dopamine and oxytocin release in certain pathways." He finally stopped and blinked with satisfaction only to aim to press his body against Steve's only to touch the lion's cheek with his nose almost in spite, a crooked smirk decorating his face. It was childish of him to argue with, well, a child but this was Stark and he frankly didn't give any flying fucks.
"You got all of that? It's gonna be on a pop quiz and I expect a one hundred from you, fiver."

[B][I]HOPING MY FEELINGS THEY WOULD DROWN BUT, THEY NEVER DID, EVER LIVED, EBBING AND FLOWING
[div style="width:490px; margin-top:5px; text-align:justify; font-family: times; font-size:11.5px; color: black"]Hearing Steve's reply made the tiger stick out his tongue in a childish manner [b]"Booo, you killjoy." He wasn't sure what this place had to offer for shelter but, he was sure that Steve would [i]freeze if he didn't have a certain someone laying next to him. Everything just seemed much better with Steve even if he was certain that he pestered the lion at wits end, his whiskers twitched in a bit of thought and feeling self-conscious for a moment. He hoped he wasn't a nuisance to Steve then again the other would've left him a while ago or that's what he thought but, he had been the one to leave. More times than he could count and when he left Steve for a short amount of time to collect his thoughts as well as his feelings, when he had came back well, the only one who had ever greeted him had been Steve. Steve had missed him, of all people on the forsaken planet, it puzzled Stark and he knew that he was overthinking it. He was hoping too much and he knew if he flew to close to the sun then he would surely get burnt by the powerful rays that seemed to radiate off of Steve. Stark never saw a normal beige lion with a mocha hued mane and sunkissed baby blue pools that he could stare into for days, an honest face always lighting up with a smile and making Stark's day ten times better but also ruining it. Steve was just perfect and he wasn't. He ruined it, his feelings would be the end of their friendship if it continued. He got very jealous whenever he saw Steve with other people and he felt guilty for feeling this way, it irritated him greatly and he wished that he wasn't like this. That he could drown out his feelings and just be best friends like Steve probably wanted, what they both deserved not nothing more. Yet when he thought that he was satisfied with friendship, his heart yearned for more. More than this. But even if his heart was unsatisfied, Stark was just happy that Steve hadn't decided to leave him and well, he didn't know where he'd be without the other."Focus? I'm all about focus, baby."
