Kiss The Girl ~ Tony's Version ~ Tony Stark x Reader

"Close your mouth, Stark," Natasha said, "you're drooling everywhere."

"I am not!" Tony argued.

Natasha rolled her eyes. "Whatever." She took another sip of her drink as she watched Tony watch you. You had just found your way to the pool, where all the other team members were already. "Why don't you just make a move already? Everyone can see that you are head over heels for her. Well... everyone but her."

"I'm not head over heels. I'm... barely head."

Natasha laughed. "You're ridiculous, Stark. Truly ridiculous. Where did that confident, playboy man go?"

"He's right here."

"Then go talk to her."

He shook his head. "I can't."

"You're an idiot."

Tony ignored Natasha and watched as you headed over to a chair near Bucky and Steve's chairs. You smiled and laughed as you joined their conversation. Tony glared, gripping his drink tighter.

"Careful there, Stark," Natasha teased. "You may turn green with jealousy."

"Leave me alone, Red," he grumbled, standing up and heading over to you. Despite you wearing a swimsuit, Tony's eyes couldn't pull away from your face. Your smile always mesmerized him. As he grew closer, your smiled turned his way.

"Hey, Tones," you greeted, making him feel like he was your favorite person.

"Hey, sweetheart," he replied.

You smiled at him— bright, beautiful, and dazzling. And just as he was about to sit down next you—

"There you see her

Sitting there across the way"

Tony froze. His smile died and his should briefly left his body.

"JARVIS..." he muttered.

"Sir?" JARVIS replied far too innocently.

"You're playing The Little Mermaid soundtrack."

"I was under the impression it fit the moment."

Bucky snorted into his drink. Steve tired not to laugh. You, though, looked around confused.

"Wait," your brain was slowly catching up. "Was that Kiss the Girl?"

"Nope," Tony replied a little too loudly. "Definitely not. It was a malfunction. A total glitch. JARVIS has been... weird lately."

"Perhaps you should consider the possibility that your AI has taste," Natasha chimed in, walking past with a smirk. "I, for one, think it's very romantic."

Tony gave her a look that could have melted vibranium. "You did this."

"I have no idea what you're talking about." She winked. "Maybe you should just kiss the girl and see if it stops."

"I— You— Ugh!" And then Tony stormed off.

"Tony?" You called after him, but didn't chase him, still confused about the entire situation.

The next day, you entered the lab with a notebook in hand.

"Hey, Tones," you said, "I had an idea for a new Arc—"

"Yes, you want her

Look at her, you know you do..."

Tony slammed his wrench on his work bench. "Okay!"

You blinked. "What?"

"JARVIS has a virus. That's what this is. A musical virus. He's obsessed with sea creatures and romance, it's a whole... thing."

"Sir," JARVIS interrupted, "the statistical likelihood of a romantic confession leading to a successful partnership—"

"MUTE." Tony turned a dangerous shade of red. "I will literally strip your entire code. Don't test me."

You tilted your head. "You okay, Tony?"

He cleared his throat. "Yeah. Fine. Just fine."

Three days later...

Tony had reprogrammed JARVIS and created a firewall just for musical cues. One that he hoped that Natasha herself couldn't even break. He walked into the kitchen where you were laughing with Bruce. When you noticed him, you smiled widely.

"Sha-la-la-la-la-la, don't be scared..."

Tony dropped the coffee pot. "WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?!" He yelled at the ceiling. "I HAVE REWRITTEN YOUR ENITRE SYSTEM—"

"Uh, Tony?" Bruce cleared his throat. "You're yelling at your AI again."

"YES. Because he's clearly possessed by some cursed musical spirit!"

Natasha strolled in, sipping her tea like she hadn't a care in the world. "Hmm. Or you could just kiss her."

Tony spun. "No! You don't just kiss someone like her. She's not a casual kiss girl. She's a 'ruin-your-life-in-the-best-way' kind of girl. If I screw this up, I don't just lose a kiss. I lose her."

"Tony?" You called softly.

He clenched his eyes shut. He had forgotten that you were still in the room. Slowly, he turned to face you. "How much of that did you hear?"

"Uh, all of it. I was sitting right here."

"Awesome. I'm just going to—"

"Wait!" You crossed the kitchen and grabbed his wrist before he could scramble away. "I guess it's a good thing that I'm a 'ruin-your-life-in-the-best-way' kind of girl who wants to kiss you too."

His heart stopped betting for a moment. "Wait, really?"

"Really."

"...Huh." He stepped closer. "I mean, if it'll shut JARVIS up."

You leaned in. "That's as good a reason as any."

And then you kissed him, slowly, sweet, and perfect.

"You gotta kiss the girl..."

"JARVIS!"

"I'm sorry, sir. Please, keep going."

You giggled, head coming to rest on Tony's shoulder. "Maybe we should go somewhere else."

"I agree." Tony swept you up and over his shoulder.

"Tony!"

"Sorry, now that we've kissed, you have to put up with romantic-as-all-hell-while-being-extremely-cheesy-Stark."
