Tony is completely against himself when he takes what should have been his own thoughts stressing the bad decision of holding his own birthday party. But Tony was not a good person, convincing himself it was okay to return to the billionaire boy with so much ego he could float to the Earth's atmosphere alone, he held his own party.

This only results in him losing... well everyone.

It was the next morning of Tony's birthday disaster of a birthday. Taeyong stretched around in the familiar but not normal bed of his best friend's house. He was sleeping beside a snoring Mark and looked up to see Johnny's foot hanging loosely between the bars up ahead on his bunk bed. Taeyong yawned quietly and stretched a little more, accidentally hitting Mark's belly, but the boy didn't seem to stir much.

With new found energy, Taeyong rolled out of Mark's bed and looked around the familiar bed with hazy eyes. He blinked a little harder and scratched at his bed, padding out of the room. The entire apartment still had a buzzing energy around it, something Taeyong wasn't accustomed to anymore. He could never sleep when he lived with his mother because of all the traffic and terrible noises from outside the apartment block. It wasn't a good neighbourhood.

That and he had finally grown into the complete and utter silence of living in a mansion way too big for him and almost no neighbours. Tony's house was big and vast and the complete opposite of Johnny's. The apartment held so much colour, the living room was a lovely bright yellow that seemed to glow in the early mornings and golden afternoons. Taeyong slipped into the kitchen, Mrs Seo would be at work right now, so he made himself at home and started to serve himself some cereal.

Taeyong hummed as he sat in one of the wooden chairs around the small dining table. He looked around for the TV remote, finally spotting the device on the coffee table. Quickly finishing his breakfast, Taeyong put the dishes away in the sink and jumped over the sofa, draping himself over it as he turned the TV on. The news immediately came on which elicited a very bored groan from the young boy. As he was about to change the channels, a familiar name and image popped up.

"Oh? Me?" Taeyong popped up and straightened himself to a sitting position. It was a picture of him walking to one of the many cars his dad owned. He remembered the day it was taken, just after the Grand Prix and his dad had almost killed himself. When Pepper demanded for them all to take a very quick trip back home.

" I just don't understand why Tony Stark would endanger this child, " one of the civilians answered. " I get that it's his own kid, but really? You wanna let your child live a normal life and he is in danger. It just doesn't get any better."

"I can understand why Tony Stark would want to hide this kid. Looks nothing like his father and I wouldn't be surprised if his mother was one of the many girls that billionaire fooled around with. "

Taeyong frowned, not completely understanding what was being said about him.

" He looks a bit weird doesn't he? Like his face is all too big for his tiny body. It's all disproportionate. I just say this as an artist who's studied anatomy. We should be asking why Tony kept his child completely in the dark right? I mean really, how was this kid treated for all these years?"

"Psychologically I don't see a good end to this child. A father that prances around as a superhero- whether or not Tony Stark is doing any good isn't the problem here. This child deserves a safe and normal upbringing, one that I don't believe Mr Stark will provide."
