Out Of Time

sixty-five

The next few months flew by fast for the new couple. Since the mansion in Malibu had been completely destroyed, Tony moved into Avenger's Tower in New York City. Y/N split her time between New York and DC because of SHIELD. Tony gave her, like the other Avengers, a floor in the Tower, but practically begged her to live on his floor with him. She continually declined, saying that even though they were official, she wanted to take things slow. They hadn't even had sex yet.

Tony was having a hard time taking things slow. It really wasn't his style. But for Y/N, he would do anything. Y/N wanted to take things slow because she wanted to make sure that Tony was serious and that this is what they both wanted. Another reason was because she had never had sex before and she was nervous. Due to Tony's playboy natures, she knew that he had sex with various women around the globe. She was scared that she would't compare. There were already days when Y/N believed she didn't compare in looks, she really didn't want it to come true.

It was currently May 28th, 2013, the day before Tony's 43rd birthday. Tony planned to host a party the night of his birthday, much to Y/N's dismay. She really wanted to spend his birthday alone with him. But she also realized that that wasn't necessarily her boyfriends style. So Y/N decided to take her feelings out on the equipment in the training room. She was wrapping her hands up when two strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind and pulled her close to a chest.

"Tony..." Y/N whined. "I'm in the middle of my workout."

"I know," he responded. "And you're so hot when you workout."

Tony pressed a kiss right below her right ear. She rolled her eyes and continued to wrap her hands.

"What's got ya thinking?" Tony asked.

"Stuff." Y/N wiggled out of his grasp and walked towards the punching bags.

"Really? That's all I get? Stuff?" Tony followed after her.

"Yep," Y/N made sure to pop the 'p' before she started hitting the bag.

"Is this because of the party tomorrow? Because it's only going to be the Avengers, some SHIELD agents, and a few others."

"Tony, this is your birthday we're talking about. I know how you party, this isn't going to be as small as you're saying it will. Remember the last birthday party of yours I attended?"

Tony winced. "And I'll never be able to apologize enough."

Y/N didn't respond, just kept punching the bag. Tony folded his arms and observed her carefully. There was something else, something she wasn't telling him.

"What's really going on here?" He asked, carefully taking a few steps towards her.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

He moved behind her, grabbing her by the hips and turning her around. "Y/N, what is this about?"

Y/N sighed, looking down. "I just... I guess I just wanted to spend your birthday alone with you... I know, I know. It sounds ridiculous and needy, especially since it's your birthday and we should do what you want. But it's your first birthday that we're celebrating as an official couple and... and I wanted to do something special. Just the two of us."

"Oh, honey." Tony gently hooked a finger under her chin and brought her face up to look at him. "I don't know how you continue to do this but you do. You just caused me to fall in love with you a little bit more. I promise you, Y/N, that we will leave the party early and that I'm all yours for the rest of the week."

"The rest of the week?"

"The rest of the week."

Y/N wrapped her arms around Tony's torso. "I think I can agree to that," she smiled.
