You were promoted to become the CEO of Stark Industries and due to it, you were more burdened with handling the company, shortly along with Tony's weird behaviour. You never realised why would he be acting like a jerk these days since the time he gave you this job.

And now because of the drama he created on his birthday.

But, that won't really mean you were totally enraged and tired of him, the fact what kept you worried was, he wasn't acting sane. Each and every thought of it was mixing in your stress, making you feel very troubled. You needed a break from it all.

After that, Happy steps in the room. "Miss Y/N, Mr. Stark wants to meet you."

You heavily sighed with distress. "Bring him in."

Happy gives the signal and Tony happily steps in with a box of strawberries, giving you a smile. But you didn't. Suddenly you get a call.

"Well, then, tell the President to sign an order. We'll talk about it at the Expo."

He waited for you to finish and then gently reaches for the chair, while you kept looking away from him. He sits and then puts the box aside, folding his hands together.

"No, Tony will not go to the Expo. Bye."

"Look, I know you're uhm.. frustuated for what I did on my birthday but just let me go-" Before Tony can speak ahead, you stopped him in between.

"No, you will not go and I said it."

"But why?"

You bashed all your anger at him. "Do you know how hard it is to handle your company and your bullshit, Stark? They all are relying on you to be Iron Man and all I'm trying to do is to put off the fire you cause. And yes, I'm handling this company because YOU told me to."

"Look, that's not it, Y/N/N, I just.. I can't understand what to do. I need a break too." Tony placed a hand on his forehead, rubbing it.

"And you know the one thing I'm allergic to is strawberries? Seriously?" You raised your eyebrow.

"Look, I didn't knew that, though it was in my mind somewhere.."

"What even is wrong with you Stark? It's like.. you're acting stranger and stranger each and every day! Everytime a day passes, my burdens increase and your issues become a bigger problem. The bigger problem is, you aren't telling me anything. You are literally making your own weapons threatening and you should know about it that at least, don't destroy them but.. use it for a good reason?"

"Iron Man isn't a threat. It's a reason why everyone in this world is protected, Y/N. I know you're mad at me for what I'm doing.. but trust me, I'm just strange, as you said. But, I'll always be the Tony you know, isn't it?"

".. Tony, I'm not saying because, I'm bashing every single frustation I had in the years of working with you along with this company pressure. But, I swear.. I never saw you acting like this. You're not taking everything seriously. I don't want you to say that Iron Man is more of a danger to the world rather being a hero. I want you to be better. I want you to create whatever keeps you sane, but you too have an opportunity to tell everyone that your suits aren't destructive. I rely on you, Tony. I know your technology is all about protecting the world. You are worried for me too, aren't?"
