You were awoken by the sound of someone taking pictures, so you groaned silently, opening your eyes. There stood Natasha, grinning down at you like a phychopath.

"The fuck you're doing?" you whisper-yelled, holding Tony even closer to you. "I swear to God I'm gonna kill you if you wake him up."

She smirked, putting her phone away.
"What happened to 'he is just an old man' or 'I don't like him that way' "? she mocked, laughing quietly.

"Fuck off. Why are you here anyway? Thought you were coming back next week." you said as you rolled your eyes.

"I might or might not have lied about that, haha." she trailed off, scratching the back of her head.

"Why am I not surprised?" you sighed. "I'm starting to think that catching me and Tony fucking is a fantasy of yours."

"Pfft, no girl, I'm just happy you two are finally together." she smiled genuinely. "It was about time, don't you think?

"Yeah, maybe you're right..." you blushed. "Anyway, please leave. I'm serious now. He needs to rest. I promise we'll talk later as much as you want, ok?"

"Yeah, don't worry about that..." she nodded. "We're gonna be downstairs in the meantime."

With that, Natasha sent you one last wink, before leaving the room, as quietly as possible. You smiled at her act, your attention going back to Tony.

"Old man, huh?" his morning voice suddenly echoed, as he looked up at you with a smirk.

"Oh, don't even start..." you whined, hitting his chest playfully.

He couldn't help but smile at the fact that you were so caring, trying to prevent the others from waking him up. It only proved that you were literally an angel, an angel he started loving more and more every day. He didn't even realise he was staring until he heard your voice.

"What?" you asked when you noticed he was watching you intently. "Do I have something on my face or what?"

"Um, yeah." he nodded. "Too much beauty."

You groaned at his cheeky remark, hiding your face into his neck and making him laugh. "I hate you." you mumbled against his skin, your cheeks turning red.

"No, you don't." he smiled as he forced you to look at him. "I'm irresistible, babe."

This time it was you who laughed, shaking your head at his playfulness. Before you could say anything else in response tho, you were interrupted by his phone that started ringing.

He turned around and took it from the nearby nightstand, frowning as he saw Pepper's name on the screen. You rolled your eyes in annoyance at the sight of that bitch's name.

"Uh, hello?" he picked up.

"H-Hi, Tony. How are you?" she said on the other line, sounding a little bit nervous.

"Fine. The fuck you want?" he asked bluntly, and you had to cover your mouth to prevent yourself from laughing.

"I um..." she trailed off. "I was wondering if... Would you... W-well... "

"Can you hurry the fuck up? I'm busy." Tony rolled his eyes, glancing at you.

"Right um... I was wondering if you'd like to go on a date with me? Maybe we could catch up and even get back together?"

You gasped at her response, hating her even more. That bitch really had the fucking nerve to-

"Did it hurt?" said Tony as he blinked, bitting his upper lip.

"W-what?" Pepper asked, confusion evident in her voice. "What do you mean?"

"When you hit your head... Did it hurt?"

This time you couldn't take it anymore, so you started laughing loudly, almost falling off the bed. Tony smiled at you, holding you so you wouldn't fall.

"Who the fuck is that?" said Pepper, sounding annoyed. "Is that a bitch you hired to fulfill your needs, Tony? Are you serious?"

His smile faded instantly, he's jaw clenching in anger. "Sweetheart, first of all, I have the right to do whatever the fuck I want. Secondly, not every girl is a whore like you. How dare you call and expect me to come back to you after you fucking cheated on me, huh?"

"I'm sorry, ok? He left me for someone else anyway..."

Tony laughed, shaking his head in disappointment. "So, after he threw you away like garbage, you wanna date me again? Do you really think that I'm that low? I wouldn't fucking date you even if you were the last girl to exist on this whole fucking planet!" he spat.

You placed your hand over his chest, noticing how tensed he was and getting his attention. As soon as his eyes locked with yours, his expression softened, a small smile replacing the frown on his face.

"You're a jerk, Tony Stark! Maybe that's why everyone leaves you in the end." Pepper answered coldly.

"And you're just a fucking hearbreaker, who wants nothing more than money and dick!" he spat back, his breath becoming uneven.

"Hearbreaker?" she laughed, obviously unimpressed. "Tony, you don't even have a fucking heart!"

As soon as those last words left her mouth, Tony's body went still, his expression going numb. He felt like he's just been punched in the face, only that the pain was so much worse. He felt worthless and unworthy of love, which he was. Or so he thought...

You, on the other hand, took the phone away from his hand, trying your best to calm your anger.

"Listen here, you fucking bitch!" you spat. "Hurt or contact my man one more time and I swear I'm gonna fucking kill you. You're the only one who doesn't have a heart here. The fact that you managed to cheat on probably the most genuine person in the world proved that and how much of a whore you are."

Glancing at Tony, you took one of his hands into yours, kissing it while you inhaled deeply. "You're fucking pathetic, you know? I'm not even surprised that bastard of yours used you however the fuck he wanted. Anyone could have you wrapped around their finger, because you are too stupid to think before you act. Now fuck off and stay the fuck away from Tony if you don't wanna die, you pathetic excuse of a human!"

Before she could reply, you hung up, smashing the phone on the nearby wall and running your head through your hair in anger. Your body was shaking because of how pissed you were. How dare she attack Tony like that after everything he's done for her? He did nothing but love and respect her, and there she was, breaking him for the second time.

The moment you heard a whimper however, you stopped breathing for a second, your attention going back to the man that was laying next to you and was staring at the ceiling, his body shaking as tears fell down his face.

You swore you heard your heart breaking at the sight of him. "Tony, baby..." you took him in your arms. "Fuck, don't cry. Come on, love. Don't listen to her."

"She's right tho..." he sobbed. "I'm just a heartless piece of shit."

"No, you're not, Stark! Don't say that ever again!" you spoke sternly. "Look at me, please." you said as you got on top of him and took his face in between your hands. He looked at you, his eyes showing how hurt he was, while you kissed his tears away.

"Tony, baby, listen to me... If you didn't have heart, you wouldn't dedicate your life to save the entire fucking planet. If you didn't have a heart, you wouldn't stress yourself all the time in order to make sure everyone was ok. If you didn't have a heart, you wouldn't care about anything and anyone and you'd definitely not be crying right now, baby, because you wouldn't give a fuck about what other people think or say... " you explained as your hand started caressing his face gently.

His breathing slowed down, going back to normal, his puffy eyes still focused on yours. He looked like a lost, kicked puppy, who only needed someone to care about him.

You kissed his nose, before pecking his lips and smiling at him. "I love you, Tony, and there's nothing wrong with you. Never forget that, ok?"

"I know..." he whispered. "Told you I'm irresistible." he joked.

You smiled, nodding your head and hugging him tightly. "You definitely are, my love." you replied softly. "You definitely are..."

You felt a sudden need to protect him from anyone who tried to hurt him. He has suffered a lot and you promised yourself you were going to try your best to keep him happy.

"Stop looking at me like that." he whispered, glancing at your lips.

"Why? I think I have all the right to admire the love of my life." you grinned.

"Don't steal my linesss." he whined, pouting like a baby and you kissed his lips, making him grin instead.

"Let's have some breakfast. I'm starving." you said as you got ready to get off the bed.

"Oh, me too." he smirked, flipping you over and getting on top of you. You squealed as he took off the covers, licking his lips at the sight of your naked body.

"God, you're insatiable." you laughed and shook your head, trying to push him away, but failing.

"I'm not, baby. I'm just hungry." he grinned.

"Y/N, do you-"

Both your heads turned towards the door, only to see Steve, who looked at you shocked. His eyes went wide, his mouth forming an o-shape and he looked as if he has seen a ghost. Tony hurried to cover your body with his, groaning in frustration.

"Damn it, Capsicle, ever heard of knocking??" he spat at the poor soldier.

"NAT, YOU'RE  SO VERY DEAD! YOU TOLD ME IT WAS SAFE TO COME IN!" Steve cried out as he run away, closing the door behind him.

You and Tony looked at each other, before bursting into laughter. "Poor guy is gonna have nightmares." you said in between laughs, while Tony just nodded, wrapping his arms around you.

"Probably... Not my fault tho." he grinned. "Let's go now. My baby is hungry." he added, kissing your cheek and getting off the bed.

You blushed, shaking your head and taking a deep breath. He was definitely gonna be the death of you.
