( tony's still on the fence regarding how many kids he'd actually want. but he doesn't think he'd want to ever have that many. sure, if he fucks up with the first kid then he can do better with the second. and if he fucks up again, there's always the third, but does he really wanna screw up the lives of that many children? he's just trying to be realistic here. judging by his dad's track record, and he knows for sure the apple didn't fall too far from the tree at all here, he might just be really bad at the whole parenting thing. )

You do take everything a little too seriously, but that's why I'm the jokester. It's a great balance. Plus, I like it when you get all frustrated. ( still don't know if he's being serious or not here, cap? that's too bad. he'll get used to it. maybe. )

So, you'd go out with me? But not with the one thousand and one women Nat's been trying to introduce you to? ( is he looking a bit smug right now? well, yeah. he's not even bothering to hide it. he's steve freaking rogers aka captain america, for god's sake. who would've thought tony stark would be, what's the word, worthy of consideration? he might be arrogant and full of himself, but even he wouldn't have ever thought he'd be steve's type. ) You really want to do this?
