PHOENIX

It's been exactly a year I've been living with Tony now. And I've never been more happy. I don't keep secrets anymore, I tell him everything and anything. From the stupidest little thing to the biggest thing thats happened me to.

Once again I was sitting on the roof of the building. Taking in the breeze when Tony came and sat next to me. We talked for a little while as the sun went down.
"I think imma head to bed, trained a lot today" I tell him and stand up
He didn't answer but I started to walk towards the door.

"Octavia" he calls out and I stop, turning to look at him.
"Yeah?" I ask as he stands up
"I can't do this anymore. I can't pretend that you're just a colleague or member of the team anymore. I can't do that shit. So I'm just gonna lay it all out and I- I- shit I've never had to do this, listen via, I-" he says stumbling over his words
"Tony what is it?" I ask him taking a couple steps forward as he looks up at me

"I love you Octavia, shit I've loved you for a long time now! I tried to stop and I tried to push them down but I- I just can't. I love you Octavia Gray" he tells me and I just stare at him.

"Are you going to say anything?" He asks and I couldn't move, I tried to speak. But I couldn't, I was so shocked. How could he love me?
"Great now I ruined it, shit I knew I shouldn't have said anything!" He yells are starts to walk off and finally I brought myself to say something.

"Tony!" I yell grabbing his arm
He turns around and I instantly pull him into a kiss, which he quickly returns.

Once we pull apart I stare at him.
"I love you too" I smile and he brings me into another kiss

Once we pull apart again we just laugh together. I was still in shock, I never knew he loved me. I never knew he even felt that way, sure I could've read his mind or felt his emotions but I didn't want to do that, he respected me so I respected him.

"What now?" I ask him
"Be my girlfriend?" He asks with a smirk
"Gladly" I answer and give him another kiss

A year had passed since Tony and I had gotten together. And it was the best year of my life.
"Tony!" I yell but I get no response
"Tony? Friday where's Tony?" I ask
"He's currently on the roof Miss Gray" he reply's
"Thank you. Also stop calling me Miss gray, anything besides that is fine" I tell Friday
"Alright Octavia" Friday reply's

I make my way up to the roof and love I open the door I was met with a path way of roses. I let out a small gasp as I look up to see a big letters that read 'marry me?' Behind Tony.

He was dressed up in a suit, his hair nicely fixed.
I walk over to him with tears in my eyes.
"Octavia Gray, I've loved you since the first time a saw you, which is ironic since we were fighting on different teams, but I guess when people say love at first sight, it can mean anywhere." He tells me holding my hands

"That was really cheesy gosh what have I become... Via, would you help me by taking away the constant interrogation from happy and pepper for me to hurry up and ask.... Will you marry me Octavia Gray?" He smiles getting down on one knee and holding out a ring
"Yes!!" I yell and tackle him in a hug

We both fall to the ground as I give him a kiss.
"God I love you" I smile
"I love you too Miss Stark" he smirks then puts the ring on my finger.
