Stephan's P.O.V
Thanos stabs Tony with the weapon Tony attacked him with. I try to get up to help, but I'm too weak. Tony staggers a bit, before falling to the ground. Thanos puts his hand on Tony's head, making eye contact with him.
"You have my respects Stark. When I'm done half of humanity will still be alive."
I glare at Thanos, hoping I'd have the strength to kill this douchebag.
"I hope they remember you."
Thanos raises his hand, ready to kill Tony. I desperately try to think of anything that would stop him, while also trying to save the universe. I remembered a certain outcome I saw. It'll have to do for now. When the time comes I'll figure out a way to not let Tony die.
The stones begin to shine a bit in Thanos' gauntlet.
Deciding on this new outcome I desperately let out a "Stop."
Thanos and Tony turn their attention towards me. Thanos glares at me while Tony looks at me with a defeated look.
I gulp before continuing. "Spare his life,"
Tony's face changes to a desperate look and he shakes his head slightly. His eyes telling me don't do this.
"- and I will give you the stone." I finished. Tony tries to protest, only for him to cough out a bit of blood.
"No tricks."
I shake my head slightly, struggling to breathe. Thanos points the gauntlet at me and I sigh in relief.
"Don't." Tony pleads. He looks at me pleadingly but I ignore him and make the stone appear.
Thanos outstretches his other hand, beckoning for me to hand over the stone. Tony sighs, clearly frustrated and defeated, as he looks away.
With shaky hands, I release the stone, and it floats towards the titan. Thanos places the stone in the gauntlet before mumbling a "one to go." Tony and I look at him hatefully, when Starlord suddenly starts shooting at Thanos. But before Quil can attack, Thanos makes a portal and leaves.
"Where is he?!" Quil growled.
Tony lets out shaky breathes as he treated his stab wound.
"Did we just lose?" Starlord asked already knowing the answer.
Tony puts his hand down and turns his gaze back on me. He looks at me desperately with a confused expression.
"Why would you do that?" He questioned.
I exhaled and stared into his beautiful brown eyes. "We're in the Endgame now."
Tony just shakes his head as he pushed himself up, following with a groan of pain. He looks around, his eyes narrowing.
"Kid?" He calls out. I watch him in pure adornment. He goes from being in extreme pain to desperately calling out for Peter.
"Over here Mr. Stark." Peter answers, walking towards Tony.
Tony lets out a sigh of relief, pulling him into his arms. Peter freezes in what appears to be shock, before wrapping his arms around Tony.
"Thank god you're alright." Tony whispers, so quietly I'm surprised I heard him. Tony pats Peter's back before separating the hug, giving the spiderling a small smile.
"You did good kid. I'm proud of you."
Peter smiles brightly, before he heads off to check on the others. Tony chuckles a bit before glancing at me. He shakes his head while walking my way. He sits down next to me, and leans his head on my shoulder. I smile a bit and wrap my arm around his waist, pulling him closer.
"Thank you." Tony murmurs. I turn my head and raise a brow.
"You saved me. I know that. I just hope someone is kicking Thanos' ass right now." He explained.
I laugh a bit before resting my forehead on his.
"I will save you until the day I die. I never really cared for anyone before, I've always been too focused on work. But you changed my whole viewpoint towards life in the short time I've known you." I told him.
Tony smiles brightly, a faint blush appearing on his face. He places a hand on my face, while I let my hands rest on his waist. We both slowly lean in, and then our lips meet, forming into a gentle, yet passionate kiss. I smile into the kiss and pull Tony as close to me as possible.
We have to separate after a minute or so, to fill our lungs with much needed oxygen. I can feel my face heating up, but it doesn't embarrass me as I see Tony's face is also bright red. I pull him into my arms, resting my head on his. He snuggles into my chest and I let a smirk slip onto my face.
Tony's P.O.V
It's oddly calming for a bit until Mantis lets out a shaky breath. I pull away from Stephan and look at Mantis worriedly.
"Something's happening." She says before she turns into dust.
I shoot up, immediately alert. Drax takes a few steps and looks at Quil confused.
"Quil..?" And then he too, turned into dust.
Quil looks around, scared.
"Steady Quil." I say, trying to calm him.
"Oh man..." He whispered before fading to dust.
"Tony.."
I immediately turn around to Stephan. No, no please..
I run into his arms and hold him close. He wraps his arms around me and brushes my hair.
"No.. no.. no, please! Please don't leave me.." I plead. Tears begin to fall down my face as I feel his body turn to dust.
"I love you.." Stephan whispers.
I try to hold him closer but he completely turns to dust. And then, everything is depressing again.
Just as fast as flicking a switch, all color is drained from my world, going back to the black and white life. I blink, desperately trying to get my happier world back, but it's gone. As is my soulmate. Stephan.
"Mr. Stark?"
No.. not him too.. I can't lose them both.. please.. not him too..
I shoot up and turn around. Peter is walking towards me.
"I don't feel so good." He says as he stumbled.
"You're alright." I say. I don't know who I'm trying to reassure.
"I don't know - I don't know what's happening - I don't know.." He loses balance as he falls into my arms, his body growing weak.
"Steady! Steady!"
Peter's body begins to fade into dust as he desperately tries to hold onto me. I hold him as close as possible, hoping he won't turn to dust if he's close to me.
"I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go. Please! Mr. Stark, please!" He cried. I feel tears fall down my face as I set him on the ground.
"Please! I don't wanna go! I don't wanna go!" He repeats.
I begin sobbing now as Peter looks off into the distance. His gaze then meets my eyes and tears run down his face.
"I'm sorry.."
The kid then looks back into space as he completely turns to dust. I try to catch it all as it flies into the wind. I cover my mouth and close my eyes as tears run down my face.
"He did it." I hear Nebula whisper in disbelief.
He really did do it. Thanos.. that son of a bitch took everything from me. My son, my soulmate, my world, my happiness.
