cuddles

the title explains everything. just cute fluff with cuddles. cuteness overload.

tony has been pretty stressed lately because of his job and is pretty much ignoring Stephen. they never get to talk or just actually see each other because whenever Tony comes home from work he closes himself in the lab stating that it makes him think better. stephen is scared they aren't going to make it through this without breaking up, so he decides to surprise Tony. 

he won't do some amazing things, he won't buy lots of stuff just to make him look like he is "hey darling look i bought you chocolate and stuffed animals!!!"

he will just order tony's favorite type of pizza and wait him to come home.

tony comes back at about 9 pm and stephen was half asleep on the couch. he wakes up as soon as he hears the door closing, since he is a light sleeper. he stands up teetering because of the fast movements. tony didn't notice him and stephen learns that he is gonna take a shower. usually, he takes about one hour to get out, so he has got the time to order the pizza and set up the location.

after getting everything perfectly in time, tony gets out of the bathroom in his onesie and leads to the lab but gets interrupted by stephen

s: tony?

t: oh.. hi, honey. how are you doing today?

s: i have been doing well but, what about you ? you haven't been eating for days... you haven't been talking to me.. you are isolating yourself.. what's wrong love? did something bad happen that you don't want to tell me?

t: *shrugs* stop reading my mind, stephen.. *comes closer to him and hugs him* i am so sorry..

s: for.. for what? tony, are you okay? are you... ill or something?

t: no.. no it's not me... it's not about me... it's about another person...

s: wh- what? who? hey look at me. *lifts his chin up and notices that he has tears in his eyes* tony.. please..

T: it's... it's Pepper. she is ill. i didn't exactly understand what she has but... it's a terminal disease. she isn't gonna make it, stephen...

s: *feels that tony is having a panic attack and picks him up, putting him on the bed on his lap, thing that calms him* you.. could've told me sooner, love... i may be able to cure her. with my magic. obviously, i still have to see if the disease is suitable for my kind of magic.

t: *wipes away the tears and looks at him in shock* are- are you seriously- did you just say that you could cure her? *calms down a bit*

s: yes, i did. i may be able to cure her. *he plays with tony's wet hair, which makes tony melt in stephen's lap* why didn't you tell me? were you scared that i'd get jealous?

t: *swallows and sighs* y-yes.. usually, you get higly jealous when i  talk about my exes... so i didn't want you to-
