{26} TONY STARK

(I know it's Pepper but you guys get it)

You knew that Tony had been dealing with his PTSD and nightmares ever since the New York incident. You tried to get him to talk about it but his ego just pushes his true emotions in the dark. All you want is for him to be okay and happy. It's even been taking a toll on you, you sometimes lay awake at night worried about him, you hardly get work done because Tony's well being never left your mind.

You had came home to a giant present and to the Mark 42 amour posing as Tony himself. That it's. You walked down the stairs still having a small argument with Tony.

"Well I was finishing up a little, and yes I did have a quick bite. I didn't know if you were coming home or you're having drinks with Aldrich Killian." Tony crossed his arms. Mark 42 turned to look at you and you shot the suit a "What?"

"Aldrich Killian? What are you, checking up on me?"
"Happy was concerned."
"No you're spying on me, I'm going to bed." You turned to the door and started walking up the stairs.
"C'mon. C'mon. Y/N. Hey, I admit it!" Tony called out. You stopped and turned to look at him. "My fault. Sorry. I'm a piping hot mess." He crossed his arms and made your way back to the doorway.

"It's been going on for a while, I haven't said anything. Nothing's been the same since New York." He finally let out. "Oh really, I didn't notice that at all." You retorted.

"The experiences, and then they're over and you can't explain them. Gods, aliens, other dimensions, I'm-I'm just a man in a can. The only reason I haven't cracked up is probably because you moved in. Which is great, I love you, I'm lucky, but honey I can't sleep. When you go to bed I come down here, I do what I know. I tinker but, threat is imminent and I have to protect the one thing that I can't live without, that's you. And my suits, they're uh, apart of me." He finally let out. You didn't speak once, you needed to hear everything he had to say before you spoke.

You walked up to where he had leaned up against the desk. You ran your hands up his shoulders and stopped your hands around the back of his neck. You looked down at him with a soft smile and he looked back at you with a look of sadness. He dropped his head to your chest and he slid his arms up your shoulder as you held onto him with a calming grip.

As you pulled away you took off his head gear and he look up at you. "Thank you." You said softly. "For what?" He questioned.

"For finally talking. It's not good to have all that build up in you. Cause before you know you're just going to explode and the aftermath would be worse." You told him still looking into his eyes. He still had his eyes locked into yours.

"I love you Y/N."

"I love you Tony."

He leaned up and gave you a sweet kiss that said everything that you both needed.

You both were going to be ok.
