Cuddles Make It Better
“That was a stupid thing you did.” Tony huffed, looking at the [h/c] haired woman that laid in the bed, “You could have died!”
“Are you saying I should have just let him die?” [Y/N] countered, pushing herself into a sitting position despite the pain that pulsed through her body.
“Don’t be stupid, he’s a super soldier he wouldn’t have died!”
She fixed the billionaire with a stern look after rolling her [e/c] eyes, “Just because he’s a super soldier doesn’t mean he can’t die, it only means it takes more to kill him.”
“Fine, if you think that would have killed him what do think it would have done to you?”
“Things don’t always go as planned Tony, people don’t always come back.”
“But you’re not people!” He was shouting now, closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths to calm himself before continuing, “You just don’t get it do you?”
“What is there to get?” [Y/N] asked curiously.
“That if I lose you I have nothing left to live for.” Tony confessed, walking over to her and cupping her face gently.
She was rendered speechless, everyone knew that the genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist wasn’t exactly keen on expressing his feelings so when those rare moments came when he would let her see that vulnerable part of him it always took her off guard. It had never crossed her mind what would happen to Tony if something happened to her, she was always so focused on saving as many lives as she could without even stopping to think of her own.
“I’m sorry Anthony.” [Y/N] sighed, lifting her hands and placing them over his.
“Just, for once, be careful and maybe think of yourself for a change, can you do that for me?” Tony asked, sitting on the edge of her bed and pulling her into a tight embrace.
“I’ll give it a try, just for you.” She muttered against his neck, “But you have to do something for me.”
“Name it.”
“Come lay with me.”
He tensed for a moment before giving a soft sigh, not being the one to cuddle by any means but for her he could make and exception. Kicking off his shoes and crawling in the bed to lay her, Tony immediately pulled [Y/N] closer to him and relished the feeling of her body beside his. He had almost lost her and if cuddling her is what it took to keep her safe then he would cuddle her until she became sick of his presence.
