AN: Sometimes it's just addicting. Gonna be short since I have a bunch of long chapters i'm working on. They're about 15000 to 20000 words each, so be prepared for a wait with them. I'm trying to get as much done out of each so it's not as big of a separation. Trying to go out with a bang. Different AU, but also kind of the same. Thanos never happened.

I was on my way home. I was excited to be ready to get a shower and go to bed, but I also had to do something else. Tony has been my addiction since I met him. I knew his playboy history, so I was skeptical when he kissed me 2 years ago.
~Flashback~
We were on an avengers mission. It was the first one since we had that fall out. I was still pissed at Tony. I know I had always thought he was hot since the attack in New York, but I couldn't help feeling betrayed. He had finally realized his mistake, but it was too late. I was in that stupid fucking cell. I hated being locked up. Being locked up meant I had a lot of time being bored and within my own thoughts. I eventually started thinking about how I ended up there and that never leads to anything good to think about. Despite that, I was here helping him. Aliens were never my strongsuit, but I guess this was how it was. Loki was back to cause trouble again. He had his eye on me. I was not too keen on the mind control thing again, so I kept my distance. I was on edge at my spot high up in the building. I knew someone was coming, but I wasn't sure who. I could see everyone on my team. I turned in time to shoot, but slipped off the edge of the platform. It's funny what runs through your head while falling. I could get an arrow in enough time to stop the fall. First there was panic, but it changed to calm. It was a tall enough fall to hurt me, but I wouldn't die. I was just accepting the broken bones now. It was my fault for being distracted by a certain playboy. I hit the ground hard. Stars covered my vision and everything seemed to quiet down. I couldn't tell if it was because I hit my head, or if the bang of me hitting the ground made them pause.
I didn't remember a lot between then and when I finally came around a bit. I felt everything rushing all at once. Dizziness was the first feeling I recieved. Pain was what followed. I opened my eyes and found the room spinning. I was still in the same spot, but I had peopled around me now. I couldn't tell what was going on anymore. There was a lot going on and I couldn't process anything right now. Bruce was no longer Hulk and was next to me with a worried look on his face. I groaned as the pain in my entire body intensified. He stopped me from moving with a hand on my shoulder "I don't know what you might have damaged in you fall, so try not to move in case there's something with your spine. We have medical coming". I fought the urge to pass out again before everything got quiet. I was on my side, but Bruce was covering a lot of what was going on. It wasn't until he moved that I saw we won. I noticed a lack of people before those addicting whiskey eyes peered into mine. "Hold on Legolas. We getting medical in here" I was in agony the longer they took. I was disappointed in myself for being knocked out like that. The med team finally came in and Tony was told to wait with the others. I could see the hesitation as he looked at me one last time. I was given something to take a lot of the pain away, but I passed out again from my body shutting down.
I was in and out of sleep for a week. I would only be conscious for about a minute before I would be out again. Every time I would open my eyes, Tony's addicting ones would be looking right back. I finally was able to keep my eyes open. Tony was in my room and seemed to be the only one right now. He was asleep and leaning on his arm on my nightstand. My arm was in a sling and I knew I fucked up my shoulder. I was definitely on some killer pain meds though. I lifted myself slowly to make sure nothing was going to hurt. I ran my hand through my hair before the door opened and Nat came in. She looked relieved when she saw me awake and sitting up against the headboard. She looked at Tony and shook her head "He hasn't left this room since you were able to have people in here. Has that guilt thing going on". I nodded as my eyes traveled to his tense figure. I looked back at Nat, who sat on the edge of the bed "He already feels bad for the criminal thing. Go easy on him". I nodded and she got up, being loud on purpose. She closed the door loud enough to make Tony lift his head and yawn. He looked up and looked relieved to meet my eyes. I would kill to see that caring look he had before the relief set in again. He moved his chair to be closer to the bed "Looks like you're drugged up enough to sit up". I rolled my eyes with a small smile "Shut up Stark". He shrugged before he did something different. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me forward a little before pressing his lips to mine. I was surprised, but gave in and closed my eyes. I opened my mouth as he deepened the kiss. A noise escaped and I felt that stupid smile of his as his tongue explored my mouth. He pushed forward and my back pressed into the headboard more.
~Present time~
I got home really late. I was dead tired. This mission took me like 3 weeks. Tony had called when he could, but it was mostly no contact. I was supposed to be gone for another week, but I managed to finish early. I was surprising him. I had quietly entered the house and went upstairs. I didn't want to wake anyone else up as I went into Tony and I's room. He was not here. I knew where he was immediately. He didn't sleep well when I was on dangerous missions and I should've known he was in the lab. I quietly got a shower done. Despite wanting to see Tony, I was in desperate need of a shower. It was nice to feel the hot water running down my back after so long. I got out and made my way down to Tony's lab. I could see him working on something through the glass doors. I looked at his face and the dark circles that were now under his eyes. I sighed "Jarvis?". He responded in the hallway "Yes Mr Barton". I smiled a little "Don't turn down his music when I go in". I liked how Tony had adjusted Jarvis to be about as smart as he was "Planning a secret attack?". I shrugged "Something like that" I opened the door and made sure it didn't slam. He was way too distracted by his work to pay attention to me making my way towards him.
I peeked at what he was working on and shook my head. New arrows for me. I was going to have to figure out what they did. I leaned near his ear and whispered "Working on something important?". He jumped and turned before he recognized who it was over the music. He clapped for Jarvis to turn the music down and had the biggest grin on his face. "Here I thought you were going to make me sit here all lonely for another week" he spun his chair and stood. "I couldn't resist slightly scaring you while you looked so incredibly busy working on something that could be done after you sleep". He shook his head and pulled me towards him while he was leaning against the desk. He rested his hands on my waist and kissed me. I was a little caught off guard by how quickly it happened, but I managed to catch up with him and kiss back. He broke the kiss and rested his chin on my shoulder "I'm glad you're back". I nodded into his shoulder and took a deep breath. He had that smokey cologne on that I loved. "I'm glad i'm back too. Was starting to get bored" he laughed a little "Starting? You were incredibly bored every time you called. I think you were bored throughout the entire thing". I rolled my eyes with a smile playing at my lips "I'm always bored on those things, but I was starting to get extremely bored". He shook his head and I leaned back "I am tired too, so come on. I need someone to keep me warm while I sleep". He had that stupid grin onhis face as he followed me.
I was already in sweatpants, so I just pulled off my shirt when we got to our room. I laid on the edge of the bed and watched him get ready to go to sleep. "We should sleep all day today" he looked over with an amused look "I wouldn't mind that if we didn't have Steve here to make sure we didn't sleep the day away". I shrugged "He'll be fine for just one day" he laid down behind me and I felt his fingers tracing the bruise on my shoulderblade. "Got thrown into a wall" I turned to face him and found him with his eyes already half closed. I pressed myself closer to him and wrapped my arms around his torso. I've been addicted to Tony ever since we met. I would unconsciously be drawn to him in everything. He pressed his lips to my shoulder that took ages to heal. I had cracked something in it. He still carried that guilt with him, but I couldn't understand why he blamed himself. I was the one that stepped off the ledge. "I love you" I smiled at his sincere words, knowing I was the only partner he's ever said it to. "I love you too" his smile grew as he knew he was also the only partner I ever said it to.
AN: Welcome to the end. Told you it would be short. Had to add the backstory to make it as long as I wanted it to be. Hope you enjoyed. Will post as soon as I can!
