It's alright (Tony Stark x reader)
2147 Words
A/n : This takes place after Captain America: The Civil War. I am one of the many people who just didn't like how the things turned out in Civil war. So, this is just me writing out my rage.
"Even the strongest person needs to be comforted."
"Tony.... Come out now. You have been in there for three days now. "
No reply....
You sighed. Tony had locked himself up in his lab again. He had completely immersed himself in his work , to cease the pain of betrayal and guilt. Rhodey had been in hospital , his legs are fractured due to the fall. Tony took this as his fault.
Then there is this fight with Cap , who chose to side with Bucky. It's hard for Tony to believe that the man whom he trusted , betrayed him. Again . Another person whom he trusted had betrayed him. Not to forget after Obidah , Tony had major trusting issues. But even after that , Tony trusted Pepper but Pepper left him. And then you came into his life.
Everything was fine but then came the Sokovian Accords and The Avengers fell out. And then , Cap , the person whom Tony trusted so much as to call his friend , took Bucky's side, the man who murdered Tony's and your parents . Yes , you were Mrs. Stark, Tony's wife , who took care of the sometimes disfunctional Tony Stark.
Being Tony's lover , it was hard for you to see your man in pain. Even though he never spoke about it and acted all rough , you saw straight through his façade. You knew how much he hated to come out as a weak person but deep inside , he was like a child , who needs to be comforted.
But now...
Watching the video of his parents' murder while standing next to their killer and the man who had aided and abetted him. The fight and subsequent abandonment of Tony to die alone in a Hydra bunker was the topping on the proverbial cake.
He just wasn't ready. Steve's betrayal had done it for him. The fight had affected him deeply.
(Y/n)'s P. O. V.
This...this fight. This needs to end. This can't possibly go on forever. If they don't settle this , I will.
And with that in mind , I went upstairs to get the car keys .
The sound of the engine starting up , filled my whole body with tension. I'm about to face Steve. The way things ended between us , let's just say that we aren't proud of it.
I decided to call the person who may be the only one who will tell me about Steve's whereabouts - Natasha.
My heart thumped in my chest as the ringing of my cellphone reached my ears. Oh come on (y/n) , we used to be friends. I mean we still are , if we forget about that fight . But... But this is so awkward . I took a deep breath to calm myself.
"Hello ?"
That voice , Nat. I... I missed that voice.
"Hi Nat."
" *Sigh* This is awkward , huh ?"
I heard her sigh on the other side of the phone.
"Sure is,"
"So what made you call me ?"
"I... I want to talk to Steve. I want to know where he is. Tony, he... He has locked himself up in his lab , barely eating anything. He is gone all-work-no-rest . This fight, Nat. This has to end."
"I was waiting for this call (y/n). If anyone can end this , it's you. I'm sending you Steve's whereabouts via mail."
"Thanks Bestie."
"Anytime."
The call ended. Okay. That was easy. I smiled knowing that I have my best friend back. I knew it , she would help .
A few seconds later , I received an E-MAIL from Nat. And drove to the destination on my (favourite car).
I pulled my car to a stop in front of the said house.
My heart thumped because this is the first time in three days , after the fight that I am meeting them.
I knocked on the door and a smooth voice answered,
"Coming !"
Oh , how I knew that voice.
The door opened to reveal Steve , wearing casual clothes .
His eyes widened as he saw me.
Normal P. O. V.
Birds chirped outside as sun rays filled the room. It was near about afternoon. The outlook was cost but if anyone would have a closer view , they would feel the tension in the atmosphere.
The blonde male who sat on the sofa , opposite to the (your hair colour) haired female , a table separating them , spoke up,
"Mrs. Stark,"
"I thought we are a little more than on last name basis."
The hurt in her voice was evident.
The blonde sighed ,
"(Y/n) , why are you here ?"
"I think you know very well why I'm here."
"Look , (y/n) , I don't want to argue with you --"
"But you can nearly kill my husband , who was your friend."
Came the girl's bitter reply.
"Bucky was with me when I had nothing , I would stay with him till the end of the line. "
"So was with Tony, he had his parents when he had nothing ,"
"This is not gonna change what happened, (y/n)."
A bitter laugh escaped the said female.
"Really Steve ? You are gonna use that excuse to justify your friend's doings ? Do you really think that murdering a child's parents can be justified?"
"He wasn't himself at that time , Hydra had control of his mind !"
"But of course Tony can't understand that ! You know how he is ! You know how the Starks are ! Better that me , because you have known two generations of them !"
Silence.
" Can you even imagine , Steve , how Tony is feeling right now ? For all his life , Tony knew that his parents died at a car accident, he had no one to blame for their death. He was at peace, but then , out of nowhere he discovers that his parents were murdered by a Russian Assassin. And what's more is that his friend , the man whom he admired since his childhood , whom he considered his hero , kept it a secret from him that his parents were murdered. That man , Tony Stark , he literally build an entire empire . But his parents aren't here to see it. So , when he had nothing , he had his parents and now that he has everything, he has nothing. Not mention that he never had a chance to mend his relation with his dad. Can you imagine how it is like for him , can you imagine his guilt , his pain ?"
"I... I wanted to save Buck..."
"That's not where it went wrong , Steve. And you know that very well. You keeping his parents' death a secret from him , that's where it went wrong. "
"I didn't want our relation to be awkward--"
"Well done , now there is no relation between you both."
"But..."
"For all his life , Tony had confronters but no comforters , and for once he called you his friend , you betrayed him ? Why ? "
Silence.
"Tell me for once that what happened there was right , that the way things ended waa right and I would go. Look at me in the eye ,Steve, and tell me that it was right . "
Steve's focus was on the coffee mug on his hand , his hand gripping the mug so tight that it could break any moment.
Before any of them could talk any further , a voice said ,
"She is right Steve , we can't justify that taking away a child's parents from him in any way. "
"But Buck , it wasn't you-"
"It was my body. I killed them with my hands , I remember it."
(Y/n) let out a sigh ,
"Do you really want to argue ,Steve ? Because I don't think that this is getting us anywhere. I... I don't want this fight to linger... Tony has locked himself up in his lab for three days... I want us to be friends again. Steve... Just apologize to Tony. He... He considered you his friend, he would forgive you. Don't let your egos come in between friendship . And don't let Ross' Accords accomplish tearing out the Avengers. The world would need you guys , again. "
No reply from the two males in the room.
"Well , I said what I had to say. It's upon you , what to do now."
And with that , she exited the house
(Y/n)'s P. O. V.
Well, that could have gone better. It saddens me that Steve doesn't feel anything for us , for Tony.
I drove to the Stark Tower. I wi not let Tony stay in there for another day. And if he stays , so do I !
I reached Tony's lab and knocked on the glass doors.
"Friday , let me in."
"I am sorry Ma'am but Sir has strictly ordered that no one should be allowed in here ."
I took a deep breath , this is getting on my nerves. Why can't these superheroes stop acting like 5 year olds and grow up for real !
"Anthony Edward Stark ! Get your a*s out here , right now ! "
Either Tony can't hear me , or he is ignoring me.
"Okay then , if you are staying here , them I am staying here too. "
And with that , I sat on the stairs , beside the lab , leaning on the wall.
Tony's P. O. V
"Friday , is she still here ?"
"Yes sir, she has been here for 3 hours now."
I sighed , why is she so stubborn?
Why can't she leave me like the others ?
I don't want to face the others right now... Why can't the world just leave me on my own ?
I walked out of the lab. It's been three days ,huh ?
I looked around and saw her leaning on the wall while she sat on the base stair. She is shivering. I looked outside through the window. It's night time. A yawn left my lips. Ngh. How long has it been since I last slept ? Oh yeah , three days . Maybe even more. I don't remember.
I walked over to where she was and swooped her into my arms , carrying her to our shared room. She moved in her sleep, letting out a soft moan.
This caused a smile to form on my lips. How can she be so adorable ?
I let her down on the soft king sized bed in our shared room and I thought of leaving but,
"Mmn... Tony..."
She.... Is dreaming of me ? I sighed. Even in her sleep , she knows how to change my mind. But I love her for that . I laid down beside her , pulling her into my arms, pressing a soft kiss on her forehead and whispering,
"I love you (y/n). "
And with that I let slumber take over my being.
(Y/n)'s P. O. V.
Warm. I feel warm . I felt something heavy weigh on my waist. I opened my eyes to stare at....a blue light ?
I touched the blue light , it was encased in a silver ring , the rims of which cold under my finger tips. The blue light is beautiful. The arc reactor.
I smiled knowing who it belonged to. Tony. He is here , with me. I knew that I could break his façade this time too.
I breathed in his familiar scent and snuggled closer to his chest. I heard him groan and tighten his grip on my waist , his arm must be slung over my waist as I am turned on my side, facing him.
Finally he opened his eyes , revealing those chocolate brown hues to me.
"Good morning sleeping beauty."
" Morning."
He grumbled still half asleep. His raspy morning voice , oh how I love it.
"So , it's better than being in the lab all day and night , right ?"
"Agreed."
"You are so adorably dumb , Tony."
"Well that's a first. Never heard that about me before."
I pressed a quick kiss on his cheek .
"Come on! That's all that I get ?"
"Yup. At least for now."
I pressed my forehead to his, closing my eyes shut , relishing this moment.
