3. Normal day

Tony pov

I'll admit it's weird that they're here and honestly i don't want them to be. I just want everything to go back to normal, whatever that is at the moment.

Tony pov flashback

"Hey, you awake in there?" i ask through the door and hear you stumble to the door.

"Just a second" and in a few seconds you open the door ajar, but enough so that i can see your face, and the fact that you have someone else's shirt on.

"Is there someone else in there?"

"No, why would there be?"

"Your heavy breathing and the fact that is not your shirt" i say and your cheeks turn red.

"Well i don't think you actually want an answer for that now do you?" and as always you're right. I don't want to imagine someone i see as my daughter with someone in bed. So with a sign i just say what i came to say.

"Maria and Pepper made breakfast, put on some clothes and bring your friend"

"We'll be down in a few" you say and with a last smile on your face you close the door. I can hear your laughter face into your room together with a man's. Well that excludes some people, would make it easier for people to figure out who it is. It's so complicated having a bisexual living here, especilly when people are guessing your newst person.

I come back down to the dining hall where almost all of us are seated. The missing ones being you, Steve, Bruce and Bucky.

"Where's y/n?" Natasha asks as i sit down next to Pepper, her giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"She and her friend will be down in a minute"

"Oh... so that's who i heard sneaking around last night" Maria says with a laugh and we dive into the food again, but i can see that fact hurts for her. We all know about your past together, and we don't talk about it.

The sound of footsteps get closer to us and we all look to the door to see who you come down with. Bruce is the first one to enter while you're walking with a laugh behind him, Steve and Bucky by your side.

"What you all looking at? I know i'm hot but no need to stare" you joke coming into the room, sitting down between Nat and Bruce. They both look at you as you start to eat. But when you notice them you just look up at me with a sign.

"It slipped, and once you got down here with three of them they can't figure out who the mystery hunk is" i answer casually and also revealing that it's a man. I look down at my food again with a smirk at the end.

"Well how you've managed to keep it secret for over a month, i'd say that's a great streak" Bucky comments casually and you give him a stare.

"Wait so, Bucky knows but i don't? You're the worst best friend Y/n" Natasha says overly dramatic, making you almost choke on your juice.

"You've been sneaking someone around the house for over a month?" Maria asks, throwing a piece of bread over the table to hit your face. You smile and it's good to see you can at least act like friends, since that's what you are now.

"It's also easier when he lives in the same house" Bucky slips.

"Bucky... shut up" you say with a small laugh, throwing your egg to hit his head. We all laugh and even he laughs at it as Bruce gives him a towel to dry himself at least. "You'll know when i want you to"

Your phone plings so you pick it up. Whatever it says makes your whole face go redder than the tomato on your plate. I look around to see who else is on their phone but i can't tell.

"Just a normal day in the mansion" i mutter for myself but i know some of them can hear me.

"Yeah, for the last two months" Natasha comments to you but as soon as you meet her gaze her serious face breaks into laughter again.

End flashback

That's what a normal day used to be, when you used to roam the halls.

Wanda pov

"I think that's all for today, as said we had a long drive and are tired" Maria finally says as i've been yawning for ten minutes.

"Yeah, we'll your rooms are just as you left them. Good night" Tony says and leaves the dining hall. He didn't say much under the night but when he did i could hear in his voice how much it took for him to not break apart.

"I'm sorry about him" Pepper says even though she doesn't really have to excuse him to us.

"It's okay Pepper, we've all been there. It just takes different times for everyone" Maria says as we stand up. And with that we all go separate ways, well me and Maria go to the wing where all our bedrooms are. As get to our rooms where our bags have been put, she turns to me.

"I'm going to Clint's in the morning to get them, do you wanna come or sleep in?"

"I think i'm gonna sleep in, maybe i can help Pepper with preparations for Friday or something" i answer without really looking at her. Honestly i don't want to see Natasha before i have to, not without people around. I think she's still mad at me for leaving. You'd think she'd be the one i'd ask to come with, but she was... is the one that reminds me of you the most. I couldn't.

"Right, good night Wanda"

"Night" i walk into my room that, like he said, hasn't changed a bit. It's still trashed, the closet half empty and things thrown out of it. I had forgotten what a harry i had when leaving. 'Well now i have something to do tomorrow' i think to myself as i take out some clothes to sleep in and go into the bathroom to get ready for sleep in the bed i have dreaded coming back to.

My phone buzzes on the nightstand as i come out of the bathroom. I take it to see an unknown number. But the thing that catches my eyes is the initial signed at the bottom. I was so shut down that first week, so closed off from the rest, that there's only one person that knows that fact.

Unknown
I'd never guess Tony could be so numb, he's just like you were after your brother died
