Found Again

Fifty-Three

        You wait nervously all day. The only thing that keeps you from going insane is your proposal speech.

        Long story short, it's not going amazing.

        Thankfully your painkillers kicked in, so you're able to scream without too much pain.

        Tony waltzes into your room and sits next to you.

        You drop your head back onto your bed, "What?"

        Tony flops down next to you, "Are you okay?"

        You tip your head over on your side to look at Tony, so Tony does the same.

        Tony sighs, "I love you, and I'm sorry for my bad moods." He flashes a smile, "Even though I'm always amazing."

        You laugh and roll your eyes.

        "But I'm actually sorry." He apologizes sincerely.

        You reach up and ruffle his hair, making him pout slightly.

        "All is forgiven."

        "Good. Now, do you need help with your speech? I heard you're going to propose to Reindeer Games."

        You chuckle, "You know nothing about proposal or marriage."

        Tony breathes out a laugh, "Untrue. Happy has an engagement ring I've been waiting to give Pepper..."

        You shake your head, "That's ridiculous. How long?"

        "Years, maybe?" Tony shrugs, "I don't know."

        You scoff, "You're insane! Propose!"

        "Nuh-uh. I'm waiting for the right time."

        "In what, ten years?"

        Tony holds his hands up defensively, "Maybe!"

        You chuckle, "God... Nat was right. You are helpless."

        "Helplessly adorable," Tony smirks.

        You shake your head in amusement.

        Before your conversation can continue, you hear the quinjet.

        Your eyes widen, "Shit..."

        "So I take it you're not going to propose tonight?"

        You groan and pull yourself up.

        "Yeah... I'll wait until tomorrow..."

        Tony nods before getting out of bed and holding his hand out.

        "Better go greet your baby daddy."

        You roll your eyes with a slight laugh and take Tony's hand, getting out of bed as well.
