"Sunshine!~ I'm home!"

"Tony, I swear to god, if you took my blueprints again without asking I'm going to kill you!"

"... Sunshine! I am not home!"

Y/n Y/M/N Fury, soon to be Y/n "Sunshine" Stark. SHEILD's most active and dangerous member, and Tony Stark's favorite person in the whole entire world.

That fact was ever present to quite literally everyone, what with the engagement ring Y/n wore on their finger, a glaring alarm that said that Iron Man had first (and last) dibs on the stunningly beautiful agent.

Their nickname, Sunshine, was given to them by none other than their fiancé, for reasons he would explain to anyone regardless of time or place. Often in the middle of battle, to the person he was fighting.

Y/n had been wearing yellow the first time they met, unknown to both of them, and it was the first color that Tony had ever seen. Glaring, sunshiney yellow.

The nickname had simply stuck.

Tony sighed as he pressed 'end call', his phone blowing up with desperate texts soon after. Another fan claiming to be his soulmate, of which they had no proof. He got those calls often, but they usually never bothered him.

Today was just... different.

While Tony had come to terms with the thought that he would never actually meet his soulmate; they probably lived thousands of miles away and he was too busy saving the world to travel to every state or country individually and look at every single person there. So he simply tried to find his happiness, and maybe a chosen soulmate, in Pepper.

But Pepper found her real soulmate, and left him with no more than a goodbye.

Actually, she didn't even say goodbye. She just up and left.

He was alone now, and the soulmate messages were getting more and more annoying, testing his patience and making him feel just... so lonely.

"Watch out!" A voice yelled, and before Tony could quite understand, he was tackled out of the way. Bullets whizzed past where his head had been only moments before, and his face pressed into the concrete.

"Stay down, Mr Stark!" The disembodied voice commanded, and he covered his head as the body that had tackled him to the ground slowly stood up, the gunfire back and forth coming to an end minutes later.

One more shot was fired, and the assailant shouted, body dropping to the ground.

"I'm sorry, sir." The voice mused, and Tony rolled over on his back to look up at them, the light blinding him a little. He took the person's outstretched hand, and was helped to his feet. "I'm agent Y/n Fury. I was assigned to keep you out of trouble."
