Blurred Lines (Pt.4)

Even hearing your mother’s frantic voice start to calm down you still feel a rush of guilt pass through you. You know you should have called her sooner but after dealing with what happened in the kitchen you just needed a moment. She is relieved that you are okay but wishes that you could tell her where you are.

“Mom I am safe,” you assure her. “I’m at a friend’s instead. We decided to meet up, it got late and I crashed over here by accident. I’m sorry I made you worry”

“Okay dear, will we see you tonight?” You can hear your mother’s hopeful voice. Pinching the bridge of your nose you attempt to conceal a spreading headache. The last thing you want to do is lie but you aren’t ready yet.

“Actually I will be back tomorrow morning.” It feels like you are fifteen all over again feeling her disapproval leak through the phone. “I’ll see you then, I love you.”

             Ending the call you wipe a tear from your cheek. Your parents have been amazing your whole life and you can’t imagine how worried they were. In the past you’ve never done anything like this. Never came home after curfew unless they already knew, never ran off, didn’t feel the need to keep secrets. The last year of your life has been completely different.

             Doesn’t help that they have already been worried about you the last month. Not to mention you hate that they gave you a little bit of cash to pay some bills. You didn’t work much the week after the break-up. That week you were upset and mad, when you weren’t crying you were angry shopping. There was plenty of money in your savings but they wouldn’t take no for an answer and now you feel like you owe them. Like you have to tell them what happened last night, or move back home because it looks like you’re failing at life right now.

“Your friends left for town,” Tony whispers and slips his arms around your waist from behind. “I think they are finally embracing the city.”

“I think I should go with them tonight.” Feeling your bottom lip quiver you take a deep breath before turning to face Tony. “It would make them and my mom more comfortable.”

“Stop thinking about them, (Y/N). What do you want to do? No matter how selfish, it is yours.”

             Blatantly gazing into his eyes the both of you know what you want. You want to move far away, maybe to L.A. or New York possibly Colorado. Just anywhere that is not the small town you’ve spend the majority of your life in. The other thing you want is Tony, now and forever. You don’t want to go back with your friends instead you just want to get reacquainted with Tony.

             Feeling Tony’s lips brush gently against your forehead the rest of your body molds closer to his. Your hands run up his arms as you outline the slight muscle he has gained from being an avenger. Tony’s lips move down your temple to your cheek. The storm of butterflies breaks across your stomach as a rush of euphoric urgency skates across your heart. No one has ever made you feel like this before.

             Tony’s grip tightens on your hips as he pulls your body in closer to his. Gasping you pull his lips down to meet yours. Wrapping your warms around his neck Tony guides you to the bed. Gently laying you down Tony remains in front of your figure. His eyes trace every single curve of your body before meeting your eyes once more and a loving smile frames his lips before capturing yours once again.

“You are so amazing.” Tony mumbles softly biting your lip. “Stay with me.”

             Brushing some stray hairs from your face Tony waits for you to consider his request. He knows you will mull it over in your head as long as you can. There are a lot of factors going into this. You have work, your family, school in a few months, and even your friends to think about. Even though you’d hate to admit it your whole life is there and it wouldn’t be so easy to leave behind.

             Before, during school you would go visit Tony on the weekends. If Tony didn’t have to work on his latest project or fight as an avenger he would be spending his time with you in your home during the week. Tony would even let you set up shop in his lab to do your homework. Sometimes he would try to help but you often became distracted watching his eyes light up as he figured something out or would occasionally glance in your direction.

“Tony I-“

“WE’RE BACK!!” You hear one of the girls shout while entering the house.

             Groaning, Tony lightly leans against you and buries his head in your neck. Your friends really have the worst timing. Kissing a ticklish spot you uncontrollably laugh while trying to push him off of you. Sadistically loving your reaction, Tony’s hands dance across your stomach causing screams to filter through the house. Getting your hands into position you begin to fight back. Surprising Tony he jumps away farther on the bed to catch his breath.

“When.. have you.. been able to do that?” Tony gasps.

“I guess I’ve started to like having more control.” Straddling his sides you bend down and offer a quick soft kiss.

“Shouldn’t your friends have come running after hearing you scream?” Tony questions remembering you are not alone. “What if I was a really bad guy?”

“You’re not,” you kiss him again. “Maybe not a saint. But you’re Ironman, a hero, Earth’s greatest defender.”

“Okay what if someone broke in and I was fighting them off? Say there was another guy that snuck in and was attacking you, or worse.” Even though this is hypothetical you feel Tony’s hands shake against your thighs. “Would they not come for you?”

“Honey you are over thinking this. We’re fine, you’re okay and I am okay.” You say, but you honestly have no idea if they would or not. Shaking your head you get rid of those thoughts and focus on the here and now.

             Sliding off Tony you get up from the bed and reach out your hand for his. You and Tony know you need to go back out there and greet your friends. As much as you would love to stay curled up with him the right thing to do would be to see your friends home.

“We have to say goodbye to them.”

“Does this mean you’re staying the night.” A cocky smirk matches your shy smile and you shrug in response.

             Finally getting him out of the bedroom you search for your friends. Confusion crosses your features as you find them in the hot tub making themselves at home. Apologizing to Tony he assures you that it is okay before heading over to the loud guests.

“Oh (Y/N) there you are!” Caroline shouts excitedly. “So we were thinking…”

“Why leave right away?” Carson chimes in upon Caroline’s gaze. “We’re in L.A. and this is an awesome house. It would be stupid to leave before tomorrow.”

“Guys, I don’t-“ you start.

             Tony stops you with a slight touch on your elbow. Your eyebrows knit together as you search his eyes for answers. Finding them you feel your heart lighten and your stomach sink at the same time. You love that he is willing to get along with your friends but you are disappointed that you don’t get to have him all to yourself.
