Your fingers tapped against your thigh repeatedly, having a rhythm by now.
This was taking awfully long wasn't it. You honestly weren't sure what you had expected from such a successful businessman like Mr. Stark.

Let me explain. Your name was (y/n) (l/n), and you owned a bakery.
You were doing well actually. That is until the whole shop was exploded into ashes in the latest alien attack. It was the avengers duty to prevent that from happening, so you wanted a fund to rebuild your carrier.
Kind of an asshole thing to crave from an accident, I know, but you literally depended on that bakery.
And if anyone was able to give you a funding, it would be Tony Stark.

You were incredibly nervous about meeting him, since it was a great honour.
You had looked up to that man for a long time.
When the accident happened, you sent a request to meet him. The shock was when he accepted it.
You knew it was merely a business matter, but it was still incredible. It was like something that would happen in a dream.

"Mr. (L/n)? Mr. Stark will see you now"
A lady in front of (y/n) said, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Oh, Umm, Thanks."
(y/n) said with a small nod as he stood up and cleared his throat.

"it's just straight down the hall then?"
(Y/n) asked the woman.
She nodded in response.
"it's the unnecessarily big door." She walked away. She seemed tired of Tony's extra-ness.

(Y/n) shrugged it off, as it still was enough information for him to find the office. He went down the hall.

Sure enough, the door was unnecessarily big. At least it was hard for (y/n) to enter the wrong room. He took a deep breath and opened the door, entering said office.

It took a while for (y/n) to get adjusted to the brightness of the room, and then he walked inside, the door closing behind him. The office was big. It looked like a singe apartment. And the walls were basically just big windows. It was really fancy. He then noticed the person facing away from himself.

The person turned around to reveal, Tony stark. Wearing sunglasses.
"Mr. (L/n) I assume?"
He took off his glasses and tucked them into his pockets, watching the man who had just entered.

(Y/n) nodded.
"yes, that's-thats me"
He nodded and gulped, slightly nervous.
It was obvious he was the underdog in the situation, having never discussed business before.

"Have a seat Mr. (L/n)"
he motioned to the chair in front of the single desk. It was a beautiful desk, with the name tag 'T. Stark' on it.

(Y/n) did as he said and took a seat, as Tony made his way towards the desk with his hands folded behind his back professionally.

"So, you wanted a refund cause your bakery got exploded in the latest alien attack, yeah?"
Tony asked to make sure he knew the reason he was here.

"You're shorter in person"

"Okay that's uncalled for- do you want your refund or not?"

"Sorry, sorry, yeah"
Come on! Seriously (y/n)? That is not a good start.

Tony nodded.
"oh well, sounds reasonable, but it's not happening"
he said with a shrug and an emotionless look on his face, almost as if he was trying to look numb of any emotion.

"What?! Seriously my life depends on this bakery y-you can't just take it all away from me!"
(Y/n) was absolutely shocked about Tony's response.

"I see your point, but you're not getting any money"
Tony took a seat and kicked up his feet on the desk, while leaning back with his hands behind his neck.

"Oh you absolute twat- I'm not leaving"
(y/n) huffed and crosses his arms, leaning back in his chair. Two could play that game.

"Fine by me"
Tony shrugged nonchalantly.

A few moments passed, none of them moving not saying a thing. Then Tony broke with a sigh, "Okay look, just leave and I-I'll think about it, Alright? Come back tomorrow"

"Alright then! See you tomorrow Mr. Stark!"
(Y/n) grinned and bounced out of his seat, making his way out the office.

Tony watched him as he disappeared through the doors. He had taken slight interest in him.

"That boy is certainly something..."

————————————————

Thus it began. The daily visits between (y/n) and Tony. Most of the time they didn't even talk about business, that was just an excuse for the meetings to continue.

Then one day, when (y/n) was walking to meet Tony...

(Y/n) walked across the street, smiling as the familiar building came into view. They stopped to take it in, and let out abreath. Then, a bus. Out of nowhere, with no sign of slowing down, went towards him.

As (y/n) noticed this, he froze in fear, prayers running through his head before-

BANG

The bus hit him.

———————

Tony was in a bad mood. It was 5pm and he had yet to see any sign of (y/n). Where could he be? He let out a frustrated sigh. Maybe he stopped caring like everyone else.

Suddenly his phone rang and he picked it up, "Mr. Stark speaking" he listened to the man in the phone. All he heard was (y/n) and hospital, before he said "I'll be right there" and hung up, quickly sprinting out of his office to make his way to the hospital.
(Y/n) had been hit by a bus.

He was starting to think that maybe he deserved that refund now.

As he arrived at the hospital he basically pushed everyone out of the way as he made his way to the room (y/n) was in. He didn't care if they were sick or anything. His (y/n) had been hit by a fricking bus.

He slammed the door open (startling various doctors), and spotted (y/n), plugged up in various machines. He also had a bandaged leg. He didn't seem to be hurt enough to threaten his life, but he was still badly hurt.

Tony slowly walked up to the bed, "you stupid fucking moron don't you die on me" he took a seat on a chair next to the bed.

"That's very big words coming from empty boxers don't you think Tony?" (Y/n) mumbled, his eyes still closed, but a small smirk tugging at his lips.

Tony let out a breathy laugh, "there's no bus in the world that can bring you down, is there?" He reached out for his hand, pulling it up and kissing it softly.

"Would you even let a bus hurt me?" He smirked, "so about that refund" (y/n) said and opened his eyes, looking at him.

"I've made up my mind. I'll give it to you, if you agree to go on a date with me"

"Sounds like you've got yourself a deal, Tony"

AHHH I'm sorry if this seems rushed!! I tried my best really. Next up is probably Spock.
