After spending a night with Peter, Tony leaves before the boy wakes up. He only writes a quick note that he puts on the nightstand, thanking Peter for the most amazing night of his life. And Tony feels terribly guilty for it because he knows Peter will be devastated when he wakes up to an empty bed. But Tony knows that he is not good enough for a wonderful young man like Peter and doesn't want to ruin him.

Fake friends
Warning: fake friends.
Parings: Platonic! Tony x daughter reader
Tumblr media
Being the daughter of a billionaire certainly had its advantages and disadvantage, one of the biggest disadvantages was that you couldn't really be sure if you had real friends or if they only wanted your dad's money.
After years of having fake friends, you finally thought you had found actual friends that didn't just want your money. Most time people didn't like you because you talk all the time, you were extremely talkative. But those friend didn't seem to mind your talking. You really loved them as a friend, and you thought they did too. That was until you caught them talking behind your back.
You all went shopping at the mall, of course you were paying for most of the things since you were really generous. You were at a table eating lunch that you paid, of course you were talking about school. “I'm going to go to the bathroom, I won't be long.”
When you came back a few minutes later you could hear them talking, you were curious what they were talking about. You listened closely, and you heard they were talking about you.
“Gosh! How long are we going to have to pretend to be friends with her, she is so annoying, I swear.” Lisa said. “I know but look what we got, we have like 4 bags just of clothing and all for free. And all we have to do is hear her talking for hours.” Dylan said. “I know, but she is so boring. I swear she is lucky to be rich, otherwise she wouldn't have any friends.” Holding back tears you stormed out leaving your bags to them, you called happy to drive you back home.
Before happy arrived, you had time to dry your tears completely. You got in the car and smiled. “Are you ok?” He asked, looking in the rear view mirror. “Yeah, why wouldn't I be?” “I don't know, you told me to pick you up at 5, and it's only 3.” “Oh, uh, one of my friends had something to do so they had to leave.” Happy nodded and you both stayed silent.
When you arrived home, both your parents were working, even though it was Saturday. You went in your room and tried to occupy your mind enough to not think about what they said. You tried in vain, but it is inevitable your mind kept thinking about what they said. And before you knew, your mom called you for diner, you want down and sat down at the table and started eating. Your fake friends made it clear that your insistent talking was unwanted, so during dinner you stayed quiet, which surprised your parents.
“Are you ok honey?” Your mom asked. You looked up from your plat and nodded at her. “Yeah why?” “I don't know, you just seem really quiet.” You shrugged and continued eating.
Some days passed, and your parents were really questioning your silence. At school your fake friends saw you stopped talking so much and didn't buy them stuff anymore after only 2 days they dropped you, they stopped being with you and talking to you. And now you were alone and you hated it.
“Alright, what's going on with you?” Your father entering your room. “What? Nothing why.” “I've never heard you this quiet before, what's going on.” You look down. “I hate being rich.” You say. “That not someone usually says, but ok. why?” He said, sitting at the edge of the bed. “Because I never know who I can trust to be my friend. I can't trust that they're my friend because they like me and not for my money.” Tony nodded but then frown. “What about Lisa and Dylan, aren't they your friend?” “I thought so, but no, they were just my friend to get free stuff. “ You say. “How do you know that?” “I heard them talk being my back, they said that I was so annoying, and I talk too much and if I wasn't rich nobody would be my friend.” You said tears being your eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry, honey. But don't listen to them ok they don't know what they are talking to them, you have an amazing personality people would love you no matter how much money you have.” He said hugging you. “Thanks, but you're only saying that because I'm your kid.” “No I'm not, I mean it, you're an amazing young woman, if you don't believe me asked the team they love you.” “Maybe but they are adults I want friends my age.” you said Your father got up and asked you to come with him.
“Where are we going, you asked, following him. “I want you to meet someone.” Getting in the elevator. “I told you j don't want to meet a friend of yours, they're too old.” “I wouldn't call him my friend, he more like my protégé.” He said, “where is he?” “He's just downstairs.” You looked at him funny when you say that.
“Why is he downstairs?” “Because I needed to talk to him. He's name is Peter, by the way. I just now realized but you guys go to the same school, he talks a lot too so no worries about talking too much and well for some reason he doesn't seem to care that I have money.” You nodded, he does seem like a really nice guy.
You got out of the elevator and entered a room where peter was waiting. “Hey Mrs. stark! Hey.” Hey, said to you and your father. “Hey kid, I would like you to meet my daughter. Y/N peter, peter Y/N.” You waved at him with a smile, and he did the same. “So you guys go to the same school, so I thought that. Maybe you too could talk. I'll let you two do that.” Tony said, and just walk away.
At first peter was kinda shy but as you kept talking he became less and less shy and you guy really got along. He even presented you to Ned and MJ who were really nice, fun and the most important they didn't care of how much money your father had.

“When will you stop calling me Mr. Stark?”
“I don’t know… never? It is your name, yeah?”
“Uh-huh, I know it, but Pete, you know you can call me Tony, right? Or anything you want, for that matter. You have my permission, sweetheart.”
“Oh, Sweetheart, I like it! Anything I want, huh, Dr. Stark?”
“Ugh… I brought that on myself, didn’t I?”
“Yes, you did. However, I have a question to ask you.”
“Sure, ask away.”
“Um, I know it sounds silly, but I can’t help but feel like you’ve lived all these moments with others too. And no, I don’t judge you or anything, but it’s just… everyone you’ve ever been with has had the privilege to call you by your name and just… ugh, what I’m trying to say is, I love you, Mr. Stark, I truly do. But I want to come up with something that would be only mine! And I’m rambling again, I’m sorry… Anyway, my question is, can you wait for me to do that, please?”
“Oh, Pete, I didn’t know you felt this way. I’m so sorry you’ve gone through so much distress because of it. But Pete, sweetheart, the love of my life, never, you hear me, never question yourself around me, okay? I can’t change my past actions, but I don’t even remember their names, honey. You are the one for me… all I can think about all day is you and just how much I love you.”
“It’s always Peter,” Tony whispered, looking deep into Peter’s eyes and leaving faint kisses across his face. Peter’s bright, relieved smile reassured Tony that everything would be alright.
“Thank you…I think I came up with something for just us. What do you think of Anthony?” Peter said teasingly, his voice laced with a hint of mischief. Tony’s eyes lit up with amusement. He was all too eager to hear his boyfriend call him that.
“I love it, Peter. Anything you want, sweetheart, anything you want,” he replied with a hint of amusement. If anyone who knew him saw him now, they could easily tell how fond he was of the young pretty man standing before him.

Tony Stark x Plus-Size Reader
Tumblr media
Some people find it difficult to be around him because of his constant whirlwind personality. But he knows how to push people’s buttons because he understands them, and any jibes he threw your way would definitely be endearing. By design. All you’d have to do is let him know that you knew that, and he’d be putty in your hands.
Naturally, you throw a couple quick-witted comments his way and he’ll appreciate it anyhow, but the whole facade he has up is exhausting sometimes and to have someone tell him to his face that they can tell what he’s really like even without the mask slipping? Wow. And because he knows what it’s like to be judged without having your real personality taken into account, he’d never stereotype you, or make decisions about what you’re like that are only skin-deep.
He’s still arrogant, sarcastic and occasionally insulting, but he’d never try to make fun of anything you’re insecure about. And if he did it by accident, he’d apologise double-quick, make it up to you, and make a mental note never to do that again.
If you ever felt like it, you could spend a few hours in his workshop tinkering on things with him or doing your own stuff and he’d be glad to have the company. Doesn’t matter whether you’re into tech and mechanics or not, he’d be interested in whatever you’re doing just because you’re choosing to spend time with him and he’d usually be alone.
Any time you’d walk in, he’d interrupt his own work to ask what you were in for. If he got an inkling that you weren’t just there to hang out with the world’s best company, then he’d ask seriously what’s wrong — and whether it’s somebody else being critical of you or your own inner monologue, he’d have the same response. “You’re gonna listen to that? Poor taste.”

Hello, I’m feeling very hurt/comfort irondad today and I was wondering if you could find some fics with that (maybe peter misunderstanding tony and thinking that he doesn’t want him to be his kid or something) thank you and heave a nice day!
A Heart Grows (With More People To Love) (ao3) - josywbu G, 5k
Summary: When there's a newborn Stark on the horizon Peter starts to question his place in the family he has come to view as his own.
Good thing Tony has an abundance of parenting books at his disposal and knows exactly (kind of) what to do.
Alone (ao3) - Lost_And_Longing T, 38k (WIP)
Summary: Alone. Yes, that's the key word, the most awful word in the English tongue. Murder doesn't hold a candle to it and hell is only a poor synonym. - Stephen King
After four months with no contact between him and Mr. Stark, Peter finally comes to a conclusion he should have come to much, much earlier. Basically, Peter has depression. And no, not the romanticized version.
And if you need a friend, then please just say the word (ao3) - frostysunflowers T, 2k
Summary: ''Three cracked ribs, a broken wrist and a heavy blow to the head, along with multiple cuts and bruises.
Not so bad as Spider-Man injuries go.
So why is he driving like an absolute maniac towards the tower (a hastily repurchased tower to stand in place of the decimated compound) with a roiling churn of something bitter and painful in his stomach.
Because before, Peter would always call him. Always.
This time though…The kid called Happy instead.''
Becoming Belonging (ao3) - sahiya G, 18k
Summary: Peter barely remembered the week after he came back, five years and two minutes after dying on Titan. But he did remember this: looking at Morgan Stark and feeling––to his immediate shame––wildly, insanely jealous that Morgan had had those five years with Tony and Peter hadn’t.
Delicate (ao3) - Bean_reads_fanfic T, 16k
Summary: It starts here: Peter, in his Spider-Man suit minus the mask, caught deer-in-the-headlights-style in front of a person he’s never met before in the kitchen of his and May’s apartment.
“You’re, uh, what’s-his-name –” The guy coughs a bit, swallowing. He points at Peter, his voice getting higher as he goes: “P – uh – Peter, right? You’re – you’re Spider-man?!” ... One unfortunate encounter starts a chain of frustrating events; in the process of which, Peter's insecurities are examined. Including but not limited to: his worries that Tony cares about Spider-Man more than Peter Parker.
I wouldn't drink that if I were you, kid (ao3) - Lequia G, 6k
Summary: In which Peter Parker feels abandoned, Tony Stark manages to screw things up even more, and DUM-E may or may not have found another fire extinguisher.
Hope you like one of these!

Pathetic - Natasha Romanoff x fem reader
Tumblr media
summary: You gained weight after a bad injury from a mission. Now you have to deal with the aftermaths.
warnings: food issues, self-worth issues, depression mentioned
word count: 749
Author's note: Feel free to check out my Masterlists and make requests. No reposting please! Reblogging, comments and requests are always appreciated <3 If you like the story/my writing, please don't be shy to say it via comments or asks! It takes you a few seconds and might make my day. It's the best appreciation you can show to a writer you like.
----------
“Don't you think you're adding too many nuts to your yogurt bowl?”, Tony questioned.
“Don't you think you should be busy with your own lifestyle instead of mine?”, I shot back.
“Was just trying to help. I mean … you did change over the last few months”, he noted.
Why did he feel the need to comment on my body? Yeah, I had gained weight over the last four months making me look pretty chubby as I was barely a healthy weight anymore. But the past months had been hard and he had no right to comment on me like that.
“You unfortunately didn't. Still the same arrogant asshole”, I snapped and left with my food.
After getting severely injured during a mission I had gotten depressed. I had always had phases throughout my life where I had felt that way but becoming an Avenger had definitely helped. Laying in bed without being able to do anything myself had been devastating for me and I had tried to get rid of my feelings by eating. It was not like I had had anything else to do except sleep.
Now I had to deal with the consequences and I had just finished my first workout after the long break. It had been long since I had felt so weak and pathetic.
I stopped in the hallway to decide where I should eat.
Honestly my appetite had completely vanished after Tony's comments but I knew that none of my problems would solve themselves if I did not eat, rather the opposite. My body and mind needed the fuel especially after the workout. Otherwise I would stay weak as hell.
For a moment I considered joining Wanda and Steve in the living room, but ultimately decided to retreat to my room.
A sad and heavy feeling settled in my stomach when I sat down next to my bed. It felt like the last months had somehow distanced me from my friends. Sure, they had visited me from time to time. But mostly it had been Natasha who had been with me, and Wanda whenever Natasha had not had time for me.
Absentmindedly I poked around in my food and forced myself to take a bite every now and then.
A knock resounded on the door before it opened.
“Hey (f/n), why …? What's up?” Natasha immediately noticed my bad mood. She was a well-trained spy after all, and my girlfriend.
She sat down next to me, a worried look plastered on her face. “Are you not feeling well? Was the workout too much?”
“No, the workout was okay. I'm weak but I pulled through”, I mumbled.
“What is it then?”
Tears blurred my vision as I shakily put the bowl aside.
Natasha immediately inched closer to me and took my hand to give me some comfort.
“Just look at me. I'm disgusting and pathetic. My body is completely useless and ugly now”, I stated with a shaky voice.
“What? Who told you that?”, Nat questioned obviously upset.
“I won't tell you. You will just hurt him”, I assumed.
“Because he deserves it”, she muttered. “Yeah, you gained some weight. So what? You were going through a rough time and eating was your way to cope. I distance myself when I feel down. Steve exercises too much. Wanda finds it hard to eat anything at all. Everybody deals with things differently. You don't need to feel ashamed just because other people force it upon you. Everything that matters is that you do the best you can to be healthy. That's all that matters. I still love you and it hurts me to see you hurt.”
A soft smile captured my face. “Can we go on a walk together? I'd love to spend some time with you outside of my room after laying around here for weeks.”
“Sure, but first you need to finish eating”, she reminded me and leaned over me to get my bowl and hand it to me. “And you still need to tell me who got you into this state.”
“Nat ...”
“Fine, don't tell me. But if I find out who it was he's gonna regret it”, she proclaimed with a grin plastered on her face.
Being the sneaky spy she was she found out soon. I did not know what had happened between them, but Tony had never been nicer to me than now.

Tony and Peter have set their plan to adopt a baby in motion a few months ago. But when the letter with the adoption approval arrives, they both realise that they are very insecure about becoming parents.
Tony thinks that he's too old to become a father. What if he can't keep up with the babys energy? Also, what if he ends up neglecting his child like his old man did with him? He doesn't intend to do that, but who knows how everything will turn out.
Peter, on the other hand, is afraid that he might be too young and doesn't have enough experience to be a good dad. Because of course he wants to be the best dad there is for their child.
Luckily they have each other and always support the other one. Because Tony thinks that Peter will be an amazing dad, no matter how young he is. And Peter is sure that Tony will love their child like it's the most important person in the world.

Beautiful in my eyes
Request: i was wondering if you could please write an insecure plus size reader with tony stark?
Request are open
Warning: people being mean on line, insecure fem!reader, body shaming.
pairings: Tony stark x fem!reader
Request by: @lilacprincessofrecovery
Tumblr media
It was a beautiful day at the beach with Tony. He reserve a hole section of the beach just for you both to enjoy. It was going great until the paparazzi showed up without you both noticing anything.
 They took pictures of Tony and You swimming together, kissing and others. Tony didn't announced your relationship to the public yet because he knew how people were and didn't want people commenting on your body. But now with all those pictures circulating on line your relationship was revealed to everyone with access to internet, and to say that people were really quick to judge is an under statement.
 The next day everyone was talking about you, you were the centre of attention of social media and you absolutely hated it. Everyone had something to say, especially about your body.
• 'Who's that kissing him' • 'she's so fat' • 'she's probably just a quick fuck she won't be around in 2 days' • 'What could he see in her' • 'She probably paid him for those photos' • 'She’s way to fat for someone like tony stark'
And many other really mean comments like these. You told tony that you didn't mind but honestly your self-esteem was taking a big hit. The number of comments you were receiving in a minute on your social media was impressive, your phone was constantly going off with new notifications. You spent all your morning reading all the comments and crying because you thought most of those comments were right. You knew it wasn't a good idea to read them but you couldn't help yourself.
  It really made you sad to see how many people thought they were better than you and that tony deserved way better. You would be lying if you said you never thought the same thing but reading other saying it was worse.
 When Tony came back from his lab, he thought he would be greeted by you like everyday but you weren't at the door. He shrugged thinking you were probably in another room or just went out. He check all the room just in case. He reach your shared bedroom, you were sat on the edge of the bed with Your head in your hands sobbing. "Hey honey what's wrong?" He asked kneeling in front of you. You looked at him and just sobbed harder, he sat beside you and hugged you tightly, you hugged him in return and cried in his neck.
 After a few minutes you're sobs died down and you detach yourself from tony. "Are you okay?" he asked softly. "yeah I'm fine." "Do you mind telling me what happened?" You sniffled and wiped your tears. "It's nothing don't worry about it." Then tony notice your phone buzzing every ten second and you anxiously glancing at it. He picked up your phone from the night stand, you tried to take it from him but he stopped you. "i want to see who's texting you so much." he clicked on the next message that popped up. It lead him to your Instagram account. He saw all the comments on your latest photo, which was you in a beautiful sun dress, he scrolled down and read a few of the comments.
 You saw his face shift to anger the more he read the comments. "Tony it's fine, don't get work up about this." "No. Y/N its isn't fine. Why didn't you tell me you were receiving all those?" He asked. You looked down, not wanting to see his disappointing face. "I'm sorry, i just didn't think it was worth mentioning. And most of them are right anyway." He frowned and ask. "Right about what, baby." You look back at him and sight. "Tony, it's not a secret that I'm way bigger than what you're used to. You shouldn't be with someone like me. Your this amazing smart, billionaire guy. And I'm  just me plan, chubby me. There's nothing special about me, and i just don't get why you would be with." You said tears falling freely again.
 Tony took your face in his hand, made you look at him and kissed you deeply. "Y/N, you want to know why i love you? I love you for who you are, i love that you are so willing to put other before yourself, i love how you make me the best version of myself and most importantly i love your kindness and generosity towards everyone." He said when he pulled back. Even though you still had trouble believing your own worth, you had no problem believing that tony love's you anymore. 
You smiled and kissed him again. "Thank you." He smiled and got up, he took both your hands in his and pulled you up as well. "Now, i don't want you to read any of those stupid comments, ok?" "Ok." 
"Good, now go change into something nice." You looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Why? Where are we going."
"I I'm taking you out to dinner." He says. " Why?" " Do I need a reason to spoil my girl?" He said with a smug grin. "No you don't." You said smiling as well, going to the bathroom to prepare yourself.

I’ve got no right to love you (but I still do)
Team Fuck fill for @stevetonygames square “Insecure”
-
Steve hovered in the doorway of Tony’s room, hesitantly wondering what he was even doing here. He was sure he was the last person Tony wanted at his bedside, their last exchange had made that abundantly clear.
No trust - liar!
The accusing words echoed in his mind, but they weren’t enough to pull Steve away. Tony was alive. Weak, but alive - and his spirit was as strong as ever. Steve had thought that he was gone, disintegrated into nothing. Like Bucky, like Sam. Like half of the population.
So he honestly didn’t give a damn if he had the right to be here or not. Didn’t care if Tony hated him. Blamed him. If Pepper and Rhodey were all the support he would ever need.
Steve had to be here. Had to check on Tony, make sure he was alright. Savour the fact that Tony was here, breathing–unsteadily, but breathing all the same.
Shaking off the insecurity that held him back, Steve strode into the room and took a seat at Tony’s bedside, relieved that he’d found a moment where no one else was hovering. He could do this with an audience, but it wouldn’t be pretty.
Steve sat there, content with the quiet, as he took Tony in. Cataloguing all the differences he saw now from what he remembered the last time–the last time he saw him. Not the best comparison, seeing as he’d been bruised and bloody, but he hadn’t been this gaunt. Steve couldn’t even bear to think about it, Tony floating out there in the middle of space. No fuel, no food, no hope. It was horrifying.
He couldn’t thank Carol Danvers enough for what she had done. Not that he’d actually done that, but he definitely should.
“Steve.”
The voice was flat. Groggy, but unmistakably not pleased to see him. Well, he’d expected that. He met Tony’s narrow-eyed gaze with determination.
“Hi.”
“What do you want?”
“I, um, wanted to… check on you.”
“Well, you checked, you’ve seen. I’m fine. You can go now.”
“Please, Tony. Don’t send me away.” If he had to plead, he would.
“Why?” He asked warily. “Haven’t we said all we need to say?”
“It was mostly you who did the talking.” He pointed out. Tony merely raised a brow, as if to say exactly. “I just-I care about you, and I-”
“You care?” Tony scoffed. “Oh really? I must have missed that memo.”
It twisted the knife in Steve’s chest, every scathing comment. But he knew he had earned them, that was the worst part. Knowing how much he’d hurt Tony, and this was the result.
“I know I have no right, Tony. I know I lost that the minute I chose to walk away. That it meant giving you up. I wasn’t there when you needed me and I don’t get to be all concerned for you now. But fuck that.”
Tony reared back in shock, but Steve wasn’t done. “I may not have the right, but I’m damn well taking it anyway. Because I am concerned. And I do care. And maybe I was okay with you never talking to me again. But you being gone? Dead, disintegrated, lost in the void of space? I’m not okay with that. So hate me, yell at me. But I’m gonna sit right here, until I can breathe again, knowing you’re alright.”
By the time he finished talking, Steve had gotten so worked up he was almost panting. He took a few moments to catch his breath, watching a myriad of emotions flick through Tony’s expressive brown eyes.
“That was… a better apology from you then I was expecting. And you didn’t even say you were sorry. Which is good, actually. I fucking hate apologies.” Tony grinned, but Steve could see the sincerity behind the flippant remark. Something in him warmed. He’d been braver with his words then he had felt, full of self-recrimination and worry, but here Tony was, smiling at him.
“You know what else would make a really good non-apology?”
“What?” Steve asked, sure that by the way Tony’s eyes danced he was up to no good.
“Everyone’s insisting I go slow, eat light, healthy meals… but I am really craving something delicious. Greasy. Filling.”
Steve hesitated. They had a point, Tony hadn’t been eating properly and he didn’t want to do anything to hurt his recovery…
“Oh come on, Steve. I’ve been dreaming of the food I would eat. You wouldn’t deprive me of this one, simple thing now would you? You are sorry, aren’t you?”
“Yes,” he said slowly, brows knitted. He knew Tony was manipulating him, but he really wanted to make him happy. Give Tony something he couldn’t get from anyone else. Which was something he should probably think about… later. “I suppose I could make you some bacon…” Tony rolled his hand in a keep going gesture. “Sausages, pancakes, hash browns, eggs?”
“Yes. All of that. I need it.” Tony put his hands together imploringly.
“Fine,” Steve relented. “It’ll be our little secret though, okay?” The last thing he needed was Pepper or Bruce on his case.
Tony put his finger to his lips, eyes twinkling.
Was Steve trying to buy Tony’s affection with food? Possibly. He knew it wasn’t that simple, not by a long shot. But it was a start, right?
As Steve got up and left the room it occurred to him that Tony was getting his wish after all, convincing him to leave the room. When all he’d wanted was to stay. But glancing back at Tony before he walked out the door, Steve saw the excitement in his eyes. He wanted him to come back. And that was worth everything, really.

I can't believe it, but I think I actually started writing my first multichapter story in English! I don't know if it'll be ever posted, but it's nice to come back to some of my ideas and do something about them.
If anyone is interested I could send a link to docs for sneaky pick.
It's a frostiron story starting at the end of first avenger's movie and it'll go through Loki's trauma and him learning to accept others and just alternative au of what might have happened, if someone actually noticed that he was tortured.
Thank you so much for listening and I'll probably keep you updated on the matter

So I decided to turn the random dialogue prompts post I made the other day into a sort of June writing challenge for myself. I'm a couple days behind, so I'll have to play catch up, but here's the first in that endeavor. It's technically part of an ongoing series I have over on Ao3, but can be read as standalone. ##
Checking In
Marvel AU
Summary: Pepper goes to check up on young Tony after he and his brother have an argument about his newest project. Dialogue Prompt: "Why did you come?"
Read on Ao3
Or you can...
Pepper knocked at the open door of the lab. As usual, it looked like a twister had torn through the space. Being the generous soul that she was, Pepper might have been tempted to label it all as organized chaos. Might have been, if the redhead wasn’t wholly aware that neither Stark had a single organized bone in their bodies.
Her efforts garnered a surly glance from the 17-year-old hunkered down at a desk. Repressing a sigh, Pepper walked further into the room, navigating around desks and piles of parts and other such detritus until she reached the teen’s side. Tony responded by slouching further into his seat in a fashion that made her mildly concerned for the health of his spine.
“Why did you come?” Tony muttered, gaze fixed on the keyboard in his lap.
“Why do you think I came?” Pepper asked. 
The teen grumbled unintelligibly, which always bemused her a bit. Tony was such an articulate kid when he wanted to be. Then there were times like this, where he went all but uncommunicative. She was unsurprised when he offered no further response.
“I came to check on you,” she told him.
Tony kept typing.
“I heard that you and Arno had a fight.”
He let out a derisive scoff without missing a key. Or at least, Pepper assumed he hadn’t missed a key; coding wasn’t something she knew well.
This time, Pepper did let out a sigh. “Look, I know how he can get when you two argue – I know how you both can get. And I’m your friend, Tony, so I—”
“You’re Arno’s friend, you mean,” Tony mumbled.
“Excuse me?” the woman demanded. He had already hunched even lower, shoulders slumping, obviously already aware of his faux pas, although he made a good attempt at pretending he was still focused on whatever he was typing out. Pepper pulled the keyboard away from him and set it aside. Turning his chair away from the desk, she fixed the teen with a stern look.
“Well, it’s true!” Tony protested, avoiding her gaze. “You met him first. And he’s your boss, now, so even if you liked me a little bit, you’d have to take his side on everything.”
“Like hell I do,” Pepper declared. Wide brown eyes met hers in surprise – it wasn’t often that she swore and Tony knew it. “You are my friend, Tony, every bit as much as Arno. I don’t care that I knew him first or that he’s technically my boss now. I am perfectly capable of caring about you both as well as letting you both know when you’re wrong. Got it, mister?”
“Yeah,” Tony murmured almost shyly.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that,” she told him.
“Yes, Pepper, I got it,” he responded clearly.
“Good. Now, get up. You’re going to make me an omelet,” Pepper ordered.  
The boy looked somewhere between baffled and concerned. “But I don’t know how to cook.”
“You’re about to learn,” she informed him, grabbing him by the hands and pulling him up from his chair. He let her herd him out of the room. “Tell me what you’re working on that has your brother all grumpy-faced.” Pepper could practically see his face light up, even from behind.
“Remember when I shared my ideas about designing a learning artificial intelligence?” Tony asked, continuing when she confirmed, “Right, so it occurred to me that if I were to…”
Pepper smiled as Tony told her all about his project while they stepped into the elevator. He really was a good kid - incredibly smart and far too soft-hearted. Arno would be getting a piece of her mind next time she saw him. After her omelet, though. She’d been serious about that.

Shy/Insecure/Awkward! Tony Masterlist
all dressed down (ao3) - halfwheeze bucky/tony G, 2k
Summary: Tony’s chest is a mess of scar tissue, and that’s what he has to live with.
All the Best Things Come in Threes (ao3) - Potrix bucky/tony, steve/sam M, 3k
Summary: “I can’t be pregnant. I’m 47 years old, it’s not possible. I haven’t had a heat in over eight months, I’m menopausal, I can’t be pregnant.”
Handle With Care (ao3) - Reioka G, 2k
Summary: The team discovers, one by one, that Tony is more sensitive and shy than he had originally let on. (They love him for it, though.)
Hide A Heart Of War (ao3) - RayShippouUchiha bucky/steve/tony T, 13k
Summary: “You’ve got war in your heart boy,” Howard sneers, “don’t ever try and pretend to be anything but what you are.”
Tony feels the familiar burn of a flower mark being etched into his skin but he doesn’t look, doesn’t try and check to see what it is. Instead he keeps his eyes on Howard and his hands cupped around his bleeding mouth and nose.
Honeybear (ao3) - SpaceBearWolf N/R, 811
Summary: When Rhodey starts spending more and more time with Carol, Tony gets jealous.
I like apples, but I like you more (ao3) - S_Horne steve/tony G, 3k
Summary: “Hi, James,” Steve called as he pulled off his gloves and shoved them in his pocket. “Got any of your muffins left this morning?”
“Hi, Steve,” Rhodey said as he flicked the button on the espresso machine. “There’s a whole tray just about to come out of the oven.”
“All for me?”
“Aren’t they always?”
Steve laughed as he reached the counter and fished out his wallet. “Your baking keeps me alive, James, I swear it does. I couldn’t get through the day without something from your kitchen.”
Because there was that. Steve didn’t know that Tony existed.
Steve thought that Rhodey was the one who did all of the baking of the goods – which was quite frankly laughable – whilst Tony hid in the back every time that the man walked through the door.
He also stared wistfully through the small window to the kitchen, but Tony definitely never went outside to talk to any of his customers. No way.
next to you (ao3) - ArabellaAM steve/tony G, 805
Summary: If anyone had asked him who was the insecure one in their relationship, Tony would have said it was him without a doubt.
Nightmares are Hard (ao3) - BWolf_20 pepper/tony T, 4k
Summary: Tony catches Steve having a nightmare and isn’t sure how to approach it. The first time he lets Pepper handle it. The second time, he tries her approach but it’s still awkward. Tony doesn’t really do feelings, and just because Steve is currently crashing on their couch it doesn’t mean they’re close buds. So, he doesn’t really know how to…well, drop his mask long enough to provide some comfort. But he tries.
Shut Up, Tony (ao3) - FestiveFerret steve/tony E, 5k
Summary: Tony's sure the attractive, kind, smart, amazing alpha he's been dating is going to dump him tonight. There's no way Steve actually likes him, is there?
Strange Prosthetics (ao3) - GoringWriting tony/stephen N/R, 1k
Summary: Tony is your typical college student, except he's not really and how come he gets really happy when he sees the barista in the campus coffee spot and oh man Tony asked him on a date!
Tony's Secret (ao3) - transtonystark steve/tony G, 1k
Summary: Tony hasn't told very many people about being gender fluid and with the Avengers living in the tower, Tony doesn't have the freedom to dress how he wants. His birthday may lead him to come clean about a couple of things including his totally non-existant feelings for Steve Rogers.
Tony's Surprise (ao3) - DarkKitty1208 tony/stephen G, 2k
Summary: After he mustered up the courage to ask the man out, he and Stephen had been in a wonderful relationship for a few months. Well, Tony wouldn't really call it a 'relationship', since the sorcerer barely had the time to meet up with him between dimension-hopping, learning incantations, meditating, training, or whatever it is he did with the other wizards. Often, Tony would wonder if Stephen was doing it on purpose; avoiding him, rejecting his offers for dates in excuse of other urgent matters, but it didn't stop the engineer's efforts to be as close as possible to him.
That last statement was proven tonight, where he stood in front of the Sanctum with flowers in hand. He meant it to be a surprise date, hoping Stephen would agree without objections.
Treasure (ao3) - SailorChibi tony/t’challa E, 3k
Summary: "You're not funny," Tony huffed, finally breaking the kiss. "I might be a virgin, but you don't have to treat me like I'm going to break."
"I'm not. I know exactly how strong you are. I also know that you are my greatest treasure,"T'Challa murmured. "You are the most valuable thing in the world to me. So yes, I will be treating you with delicate hands, because that is what you deserve."
Will My Angel Come Back to Me? (ao3) - holistic_alcoholic bucky/tony T, 2k
Summary: Bucky, a grumpy unsocial vampire who has no friends but recently turned Steve — and a memory of a beautiful angel turning him during World War II — comes to a vampire party after Steve's goading.
He's in for a surprise.
