"F.R.I.D.A.Y., where's Tony?"
"He's in the laboratory, Miss (y/n)."
"Oh, no," I said under my breath, "for how long has he been there?"
"Since Wednesday."
"What day is it today?"
"It is Friday, Miss (y/n)."
Shaking my head in disappointment and worry, I let out the breath of air that I unknowingly was holding in. I mumbled out, "Damn it Tony. Has he at least eaten?"
"Yes, he ate a little while ago."
I mumbled out a thank you and then went to the laboratory.
Click, click, click. The sound of the keyboard echoed throughout the lab. I stopped several feet away facing what appeared to be a disheveled Tony's back, listening to him mumble something about nanotechnology.
I waited, standing with my legs shoulder length apart and my arms crossed, until I built up enough anger to last me five lifetimes. As I got ready to scold the devilishly handsome dumbass standing in front of me, I drew in a sharp breath and let it all out.
"ANTHONY EDWARD STARK! LOOK AT ME RIGHT NOW!" He jumped slightly and quickly turned his head to me. While he had a look of fear and confusion in his eyes, I could feel my right eye twitch while my left shot daggers at him.
"(Y/n)! You look... lovely?"
"Oh, spare me your bullshit, Tony." I stomped over to him glaring at the idiot I had fallen for.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, (y/n)," Tony said using his left hand to prop up his right hand, which was caressing his beard. He looked like a hot mess with bags under his eyes, his hair all over the place, his stubble growing in, and his shirt unbuttoned leaving some of his muscles exposed. No, (y/n), focus! You're here to make sure he's on track him not fall for him.
"I know you have not slept, eaten, or showered in the last two days." I now stood inches away from his face, still glaring at him.
"How do you know?" Tony asked narrowing his eyes. He stood up from his seat and came closer to my face.
I crossed my arms and looked away, trying to hide the blush that was slowly creeping up on my face. "That doesn't matter."
"Oh, come on, sweetheart," he said hooking one his fingers under my chin, bringing me to look at him straight in the eyes, dangerously close to his face, "I didn't mean to stay here for that long but you know what happens to me when one of my genius ideas strike." His soothing voice and soft smile calmed me down, giving me butterflies.
I nervously looked down and spoke up,stuttering, "Y-yeah, well... y-you know how bad this is for your, uhmmm... y-your health."
"Is that the only reason why you worry so much?" A little smirk landed on his lips as his hands landed on my hips.
I looked at him straight in the eyes and with all the confidence I had, I simply said, "Yes."
He sighed, dropping his head, slightly pulling my hips closer. I tilted my head and scrunched up my eyebrows together in a look of confusion. I had never seen this truly exhausted, worn out side of him. He always seemed so in control and calm, but right now he looked... truly... tired... with it all.
He sat down on a nearby chair with his head down and his arms resting on his knees. I slowly let my arms drop and wrapped them around his head. I caressed his head with my hands and stomach. He pulled me in closer, wrapping his arms around my waist. I lightly played with his hair, smiling at how adorable this moment was. He slowly let out a sigh and said, "Thank you, (y/n). I really needed that."
"That's not the only thing you need. Come on, Tony, how about we go get you into the shower and then into bed."
"If I had known that staying up was all it took to get you in the shower AND in bed with me, I would have done it a looonnng time ago, sweetheart," he said looking up at me with a smile on his face.
"That's not what I meant," I giggled. "Come on, Tony, let's get you all cleaned up." I helped him off the chair and walked with him to his room. Once I turned on the water for his shower, I turned around and bumped into a butt naked Tony in a towel. "S-sorry," I stuttered.
"It's fine," he said looking down at me with a strange look in his eyes.
"Well, uhmm, I should probably leave you alone now. Please go to sleep after your shower." I said with a worried look on my face.
"Don't worry your pretty little head about a thing. Ok?" He said smiling a little, putting his hand on my cheek. I nodded my head and slowly left his touch as I walked out of his room.
About and hour passed and I heard his door open. I heard him call out my name. I walked over slowly. There he stood at his doorframe in his white tee and a pj pants, hair slightly damp. He cleared his throat and said, "I know it's weird and totally out of your job description, but can you stay with me while I sleep?" He seemed nervous... shy almost.
Oh yeah that's right... he's been having nightmares again. With a sympathetic look on my face, I grabbed his hand and nodded my head. We walked in, still holding hands, as he led me to his bed. He got in, letting go of my hand, and patted the empty space near him. I blushed realizing that we were going to spoon. However, I couldn't reject because... reasons.
I slowly climbed in and laid down. I felt his arm wrap around me as he asked, "Is this ok?"
"Y-yeah." It felt oddly comforting. He snuggled in closer, hiding his face in the crook of my neck. I heard him drift off into sleep. His light snores bringing a small smile onto face. He was finally sleeping peacefully. Something he hadn't done in quite a while. I felt my eyes grow heavy resting my arm on top of the one that he was holding me with. Peace at last.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
