Obsessions ⇢ Tony Stark

9 | Prepare To Be Smoothened

Eleanora woke up incredibly confused, the main source of which was the grass underneath her. She cracked open one eye, wincing at the bright morning sunlight. She took a moment to allow herself to properly wake up before rolling onto her back and propping herself up on her elbows, glancing around through squinted eyes.

She gathered that she was lying on the front lawn of a house and red solo cups, streamers and other rubbish were scattered on the grass. That was a good sign - there had been a party, meaning she hadn't gone to some random's house alone. Across the other side of the lawn, a blonde guy was wandering around, clearly looking for something. At her movement, he glanced over at her.

"Oh good, you're alive," he commented dryly. "You alright?"

"Uh, I think," she replied, cringing at her croaky voice. "You okay?"

"Just looking for my keys," he grimaced. 

"Ah. Weird question, but we didn't..." she trailed off questioningly and he snorted and shook his head. 

"Nah, you just talked to me a lot about bees and how the Jaws movie negatively impacted sharks. Then you heard a song you really liked - Girls Just Want To Have Fun, I'm pretty sure - and ran off to dance to it and I didn't see much of you for the rest of the night. I just found you out here this morning. Wild night?"

"Honestly, I can't remember, like... any of it, so I assume so. I'm still in LA, right?"

The guy frowned. "This is Florida."

Eleanora's jaw dropped. "What?"

"Nah, I'm totally fucking with you. Yeah, we're in LA - Monterey Park."

"You're a dick," she grumbled, getting to her feet unsteadily. "You want a hand looking?"

"Nah, that's alright, they've gotta be here somewhere. I'll have a look inside."

"Wait, so you remember last night? And we talked?"

The man nodded. "I only had a couple drinks."

"Did you happen to see a guy with me at any point? Brown hair, brown eyes... okay, that's not a lot to go off-"

"Yeah, I think I know who you mean," he cut her off. "You sang the entirety of Bohemian Rhapsody together with both of you trying to do all the parts and then you waxed one of his legs. while a bunch of people watched."

Eleanora blinked. "Yeah, that sounds about right. Any chance you know where he is?"

"Yeah, I think I saw him passed out on the dining table. I'm pretty sure you'd rather not hear this, but at one point you ate cheese out of some chick's belly button for truth or dare."

"Yep, would rather have not heard that. Where... where are my shoes?" she asked, frowning down at her feet and looking around.

"Oh yeah, after you shaved his leg, you guys swapped shoes. So the real question you should be asking is where are his shoes?"

"Fuck, that's worse," she groaned.

"Lenny?" a voice called from the house as Tony himself came stumbling outside, trying to take her heels off his feet as he walked.

"Yeah, that guy," Random Man nodded.

"Please don't hate me," Eleanora winced as Tony came up to them, the heels now in hand.

He glanced over at the other man and looked back at Eleanora with a raised eyebrow. "Really, Lenny?"

"I didn't!" she objected with a scowl, knowing what he was implying.
