You're laying in Tony's bed, watching your favorite movie. As you're best friends, you do this quite often. He has his arm loosely around you, and you're curled up against him.
"It's cold." You comment, two blankets on you.
"Really? I'm burning up." He doesn't look away from the movie.
"I know. You're keeping me relatively warm." You smile up at him. "Dude, your heart's beating really fast. Are you okay?"
"Kind of. Depends on how you look at it."
"We can watch a different movie." You finally consent.
"No, it's fine." He laughs a bit.
You watch the movie in silence for a while. He moves over and starts to get up. "Where're you going? This is when the hot guy saves the beautiful damsel in distress." You say.
"Just... turning up the heat."
"But you're hot."
"You're cold."
"Why don't you just ask JARVIS to do it?"
"Oh. Yeah. I could, couldn't I?" He says, sitting back down on the far side of the bed.
"What's wrong?" You grab the remote and pause the movie.
"I can't do this anymore." He stands up again, beginning to pace. "I can't."
"What?" You sit up straight, the blankets falling off of you. You shiver.
"This. You. I can't."
"Are you angry?" You furrow your eyebrows.
"No! No, I'm not angry!"
"You sound angry."
"Because I'm a wimp!"
"Why?"
"Do you know how long I've loved you?"
"I love you too."
"No. You don't. Not like I do."
"Nobody loves you like you do." You smile.
"I love you, Y/N. I don't want to watch movies and friendly cuddle. I want to kiss you, and hold you. God. I want..."
"You want what?"
"I don't know. I don't know." He shakes his head.
"Come sit down."
"No. I'm going outside. I need some fresh air. You watch your superhero movies. I'll... Have fun, Y/N."
"Tony?"
"What?" He turns around in the doorway, exasperated.
"You're a superhero too."
"Yeah, apparently not the kind you're into. Not fictional enough for you, am I?"
"If you want to kiss me, do it." You say.
He pauses for a second. "What?" He finally asks.
"Come kiss me."
"Don't bullshit me." He walks out.
You sigh and follow him. Lord, he's dramatic. "Tony--"
"What?" He snaps.
"Don't be moody."
"I'm always moody."
"You're moodier now."
"Whatever." He turns to lean his elbows on the railing, dropping his head down.
You step forward and slide your arm around his back. "Come on, Tony. It's cold out here."
"Then go inside."
"If you want to kiss me, kiss me. I'm not going to freeze out here because you're acting like a child."
"Then don't."
"Do you know how much of your crap I put up with?"
"Do you know how hard you friendzone me?"
"Friendzoning is a term used by males for females who won't have sex with them. Get over it."
"Go inside, damn it."
"Watch your mouth."
"Yes ma'am." He turns back away. "I'm sorry." He says quietly. "I didn't mean for all this to happen."
"If you want to kiss me, why won't you just freaking do it?" You demand, irritated.
"Because you don't want it."
"I told you you could, Tony. Are you gonna kiss me or not?"
"Not. This is a trick to see if I actually respect your opinion."
"Fine. Don't do it. Come inside." You turn on your heel and go inside.
You wait in the bedroom for what feels like forever before Tony finally comes back inside. "Sorry." He says again.
"Are you thinking logically now?"
"Yes. I think so. Let's finish the movie, shall we?"
"No."
"Great. I messed this up too."
"Listen to me closely, Tony."
He nods.
"I said that you can kiss me. Does that or does that not imply that I want you to?"
"I'm not doing that."
"Why the hell not?"
"Because I don't know if I'll be able to stop."
"Oh, I'll stop you. Trust me." You smile a bit.
"You'll punch me or something."
"Dude, you're a superhero. I think you can take it." You stand up off the bed.
"Some superhero." He mutters.
"Well, you're my favorite." You assure him.
"I thought that was Batman."
"No. You're way better."
He drops his gaze to his feet as you step up in front of him.
You sigh. He's gonna make you do it. "Tony."
"Huh?"
"Close your eyes."
His eyes flick up to meet yours. "Um... what?"
"Just do it."
He closes his eyes, then cracks one open. You wait for him to close them again.
"Now put your arms around my waist."
"Um..." He cracks an eye open again.
"Close your eyes." You repeat, pulling his hands to rest on your hips.
"Y/N, this really isn't a good idea." He cracks an eye open again.
"Shut your eyes, Stark."
He snaps his eye closed.
You move your lips towards his, but before you even get there, he moves forward and kisses you, his arms wrapping around you as tightly as he could manage.
"That wasn't so bad, was it?" You ask, breaking away.
"It was rather nice. Kind of dramatic..." His eyes flick to your lips.
"You've always had a flair for the dramatic."
He moves to kiss you again, but stops and pulls back. "This does mean something, right? I don't want to do this to have you wave it off like you do everything else."
"Of course it means something. You don't kiss people for nothing."
"Would you kiss Batman?" He gives you a skeptical look.
"Hell yeah I'd kiss Batman. I'd prefer Iron Man, though..."
