Warning: alcohol abuse

Inspiration: Do I Wanna Know - Artic Monkeys

------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift
The type that sticks around like summat in your teeth?
Are there some aces up your sleeve?
Have you no idea that you're in deep?

Tony had been a wreck ever since him and (Y/N) broke up, he spent all his time in his lab. He'd tell everyone he was upgrading his suits or working on something, but he wasn't, he was just making a mess. Things were strewn across the floor and Friday had restricted access to everyone, everyone apart from (Y/N). He hoped she would come down here, come tell him it's okay and they could try again. He knew it was wishful thinking, she was upstairs walking around like nothing had happened. She probably had that beautiful smile plastered on her face and her gorgeous laugh bubbling out of her lips filling the room with joy. He slammed a fist down on the table, he wanted to be the one making her laugh.

I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee

(Y/N) hadn't been coping well. She missed Tony more than anything and knowing that he was staying in his lab because of her, made her heart break even more. She knew he wasn't sleeping and she also knew the only reason she was, was due to her sudden intake of alcohol. Tony and her always shared those unhealthy coping mechanisms and when they were together they'd worked on getting out of them. Now he was gone and all she could do was sit on the couch at the end of her bed and drink until she passed out. To everyone else it looked like she was fine, but behind closed doors she was dreaming of him.

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby, we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

Weeks passed before someone finally found (Y/N) passed out on that small sette, drinks spilled all over it. Natasha had only stumbled apon the sight because they were late for a mission, she opted for taking Steve with her instead. When she returned that evening she found (Y/N) sat on the end of her bed sobbing, a box clutched between her hands. Photos of Tony and her and other trinkets spilling out from it. Tony hadn't wanted to pack up her things from their shared room it felt like he was admiting the relationship was truly over, but he felt as though he had to. They were her things after all. (Y/N) didn't see it that way, she gave her heart to the man and with it all of her belongings, everything she had was just as much his as it was hers. Now she was sat there holding the box of things that seemed so insignificant, she just wanted him back. Natasha jumped back from her postion hugging (Y/N) when she suddenly threw a photo at the wall, causing the frame to shatter.

Crawling back to you

Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through

The team was becoming increasingly concerened about the pair. Steve had been sent to check on Tony, his excuse to access the lab being that they had a mission. He had carefully approached the drunk man, but took a step back when he chucked his whiskey glass at the wall shattering it. Steve would've laughed at how similar he and (Y/N) were if it weren't for the solemn circumstances that he was there.
