Light of my Life (STONY)

The Proposal

Tony's POV

"I thought we were meant to see Thor?"

"Thor can wait." I shrugged and allowed myself to be pulled to the elevator. He pushed the button for the roof, and I turned and pulled my arms around him. He smiled, placed his hands on my back and kissed the top of my head.

"I love you," I whispered.

"I know." Then I let go and looked up at him.

"Rude." He chuckled and I jokingly turned my back to him.

"I love you too, weirdo. C'mere." He pulled me back to him and I chuckled.

"Idiot." We weren't even halfway to the roof, and Steve texted someone.

"I'm just gonna tell Nat we're gonna be a minute before we see them," he said. I nodded and he sent the text. About a minute passed and the elevator dinged - we were there. The doors slid open and Steve made me walk out first. It was beautiful. There were fairy lights everywhere, pictures of us covered the entirety of one wall. There were lit candles on tables and little notes Steve and I had written to each other over the course of our relationship. I didn't know what to say. I turned in a circle on the spot and turned to face Steve.

"I... Steve, what-" He got down on one knee. hOLY FUCK STEVE WAS ABOUT TO PROPOSE.

"You know, when I first met you, I thought you were gonna hate me forever. I told myself that's just how you were with people, then I found out you were Howard's son and found out how you'd been treated as a kid... and I knew it was my fault. Then Pepper happened and you were the only one you would talk to about it for a long time... not even Rhodey really knew. That's when everything kind of... clicked, I think, with us. Then the first time you asked me to stay with you... that's when I knew I was falling in love with you." I was smiling a lot and also crying a lot. Steve paused for a minute as I wiped away my tears and then continued. "Then everything else - first date, first kiss, first 'I love you'. I finally figured out I wanted to do this about a month ago, and I thought I was going crazy. I mean, 7 months in? But, I don't care. Anthony Edward Stark, will you marry me?" He pulled a small box out of his pocket as he said this and opened it to show a beautiful ring, and I didn't hesitate.

"Holy fuck, yes!" I was shaking, and Steve stood up and pulled me into a hug.

"Language, honey."

"I love you too, idiot." We broke apart and he gently put the ring on my finger - it fit perfectly. Then, Nat, Wanda, Clint, Bruce, Thor, Rhodey and Pietro all appeared from behind the wall with all of the pictures on. I was still crying, but started to laugh. "We're they all-"

"Steve you marshmallow, you made me cry," laughed Wanda. Pietro pulled his arm around her and I grinned.

"How long did this all take?"

"We've been trying to distract you all day, sorry," said Steve apologetically.

"Wait, so the thumbdrive-"

"That wasn't real... the information on it was but the password riddle thing wasn't... sorry, I needed you in the lab for a few hours," said Bruce. I shook my head, smiling.

"Clint, you didn't actually go home?"

"No, I went to pick up a cake. I'm seeing Laura and the kids tomorrow."

"Thor..? Gotta say, wasn't expecting you."

"Neither was anyone else," he boomed. "I managed to punish Loki and talk to mother and father and Heimdall all in one day, I was no longer needed on Asgard. However, I must borrow somebody's mobile, I must call Jane and let her know I have returned." Rhodey handed over his phone and walked over to me.

"You feelin' alright there, buddy?" I looked at him and grinned.

"Yeah, fine. I mean, today's nothing out of the ordinary, I might clock in." Everyone laughed and Steve put his arm around my shoulders. He cracked a beer open and passed it to me.

"I wanted to make sure you were fully sober before I asked in case you wanted to take it back tomorrow." I looked at him and gave him a look.

"Are you insane? I would NEVER say no!" Everyone smiled and the party retreated inside - it was windy and cold and what some people were wearing (cough cough NAT cough cough) was slightly inappropriate. Not only for the conditions, but in general. It didn't seem to bother anyone, especially Bruce. I noticed him watching her pour a drink and caught his eye. He blushed a little but I shrugged and gestured for him to carry on, at which he threw a pillow at my head. I ducked and it almost smashed something, but Pietro and Wanda were able to stop it breaking anything. Then we all had a huge pillow fight and broke about 15 glasses, and it was only when the sun started to rise that people decided to go to bed. We were most definitely all too drunk to help ourselves (apart from Steve - he'd been drinking Thor's Asgardian whiskey or whatever it was and STILL wasn't the slightest bit tipsy although the god himself was falling over with every step he took) so Steve made us all go to bed.

I didn't drink a lot because whenever I do I get scared I'm gonna have a panic attack. I'd had maybe more than I should have but still wasn't drunk. I brushed my teeth and changed into joggers before jumping onto the bed.

"Fuck I should NOT have done that."

"You okay?" Steve was brushing his teeth and opened the door of the bathroom to check I was okay.

"Yeah, I just hit my head on the wall," I laughed. I turned over so I was lying on my side with my back to the wall - the bed was in the corner. Steve changed and walked into the room then laid down next to me.

"You know what?"

"What?"

"I love you Stevie."

"I love you too, Tony. Now go to sleep."

Aha, bit of a shorter one, I'm so bad at writing cute scenes so I'm sorry for a shitty proposal lmao.
