Chapter 7
Tony watched as his only girlfriend struggled to focus on what she was reading, her earbuds playing old music that could be heard when she pulled them out, hoping the faint sound of the music would help her focus and she let out a loud groan, finally tossing the book to the floor. Tony jumped a small bit, not used to seeing his cutie so angry, at least the one that wasn't an Avenger. Caitlyn got up to pick the book up before getting distracted by something on her phone. Tony was about to mention the book to her, when she got up, mumbling something about a cat and leaving everything there, the corner was a mess. The old man pulled his phone out to call his boyfriends.
Tony hummed as he waited for the two to answer their phones and sighed when only Steve picked up. "Tony?"
Tony's concerned look lifted as he heard Steve's voice. "Hi, Stevie. I need to wrack your brain for a second. Has Cat been taking her meds?"
Steve's hum came through the receiver. "I don't think so. Why? What happened?"
Tony sighed. "Everythings distracting her at this point."
Steve's sigh joined him and the two jumped when Bucky joined the call. "Sorry, for not answering sooner, I was busy. What's going on?"
Tony went into his rant on how Caitlyn's ADHD was making it hard for her concentrate, and how it was getting harder on her daily life. Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind Tony and a sniffle came. "I thought it wasn't that obvious..."
Tony cursed as he noticed he wasn't that quiet and Caitlyn, who had been holding a tray of snacks, was standing behind him, listening to him go on and on and on and on about her ADHD. "Honey, please, let me explain myself.."
Caitlyn growled, her ADHD fueling the emotions. She dropped the tray and clenched her fists. "How dare you!? I've been trying to get better! I've put sticky notes all over my closet door, to help me remember, and I've been thinking of even upping my dosage!" She didn't even notice that the tears had started, the feeling of helplessness flooding her mind. Tony wrapped his arms around her, he had put the phone call onto speaker but both Super-Soldiers had hung up and were on their way to get to the scene quickly.
The two men walked into the scene and stilled at the sight of Tony Stark whispering apologies to their girlfriend, who was clearly still angry but it was under a whole lot of sadness, and self-loathing. Tony could tell the self-hate and depression that her ADHD generated into her mind and wanted to do everything in his power to make her feel better.
