Y/N's POV
I hate school
I hate school
I hate school
I despise school. I get really anxious over all the deadlines and the teachers and the tests and everything to do with the word school. I was allowed come home early today since I was reportably 'upset'. I left the school and walked home to the avengers compound.
All the avengers are hanging out today to discuss some plans for an upcoming mission. I open the door and sign in relief when no one was there. I never cried.....well not in-front of them at least. I've always been the strong tough teen. I wipe my eyes and run straight up to my room and shut the door.
After about an hour of stressing and an asthma attack I decided to head downstairs for some food. I still had red puffy eyes but it was ok. I think I heard the door opening so that means whoever's here left. I stroll down to the kitchen and grab a bowl and pour some cereal. What I didn't notice was that Tony was right in front of me.
Tony's POV
I came back from the supermarket and went to go place the groceries away when I heard sniffling. Confused, I look around the corner to find Y/N crying as she pours a bowl of cereal. I didn't actually think she could ever cry. I watched her for a while before I peep up.
"Kid?" I ask softly
She looks up at me frightened as she tried to wipe her eyes desperately.
"Sorry" she mumbled
"Hey no dont worry it's ok. Let's talk yea?"
"No it's nothing sorry I should go"
She starts the get up off the sofa but I stop her by putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Kid, sit" I tell her.
Her eyes meet mine before she sits down. I notice she starts picking dry skin off her thumb.
"What's wrong Y/N? I've never seen you cry before so your obviously upset about something"
"It's nothing it's stupid" she says still not meeting her eyes.
"Y/N, I fly in a suit made out of iron and I make robot friends, I don't think anything sounds stupid anymore" I say with a chuckle.
"It's just school. It's overwhelming and I never have time to do anything I want anymore and I just feel like the teachers are attacking me over nothing 24/7. And the amount of assignments due in like one day that make up your grade is so so much. I just can't" she tells me.
I finally see that she's trying not to cry.
"Y/N?"
"Yea?"
"Cry"
"What?"
"You can cry, it's just the two of us"
I got no reply back so I was about to say something else but then I heard a sniffle, and a few tears stream down her face. It broke my heart seeing her so vulnerable like this. I did what every fathe- I mean...person would do and brought her close to my body.
I draped an arm around her shoulder as she leans into my side. I feel my t shirt growing wet but I don't mind. Her sobs quiet a few moments later and I look down to see that she's asleep. I hook my arm underneath her legs and one supporting her back, before climbing up the stairs to her bedroom.
I open the door and I place her into bed. I drape the covers over her too. I switch her lamp off and leave her room
