The Unbreakable

One in a Million

Jess's POV

I woke to soft breathing coming from right beside me. I turned over slowly to face a sleeping god of mischief. His mouth was parted open just slightly, the smallest little snore forming in the back of his throat. I giggled before climbing out of bed to begin my day. My head felt a foggy from the pain still present from the... attack.

I began the journey back to my room, opening the door to find Shiloh waiting on my bed for me. She immediately jumped off the bed to greet me. She sniffed my stomach and remained careful around that area. I pet her head and ears, having her lick my hand in return. 

I turned to my closet in search of clothes to wear for the day. I settled on a red bra and black underwear with an AC/DC T shirt. I pulled on some ripped jeans and black socks. I decided to braid my hair away from my face rather than leave it down due to the wind blowing against my bedroom window. Satisfied with my look,  I walked into the bathroom to change out my bandaging.

I slowly unwrapped my midsection, working my way into bloodied gauze wrap. Seeing my wound fully brought forth a surge of fear and anxiety that I shoved away quickly. Only one single tear rolled down my flushed face as the images dulled in my mind. I shook my head hard and began to search for more bandaging material. Finding none, I panicked a bit...

Then a knock sounded at my bedroom door.

I told FRIDAY to let the person in. Next thing I know, the Tony Stark was standing in the doorway to my bathroom. I blushed at my panicked and undressed state, but he didn't seem to notice. All he saw was the red of my stab wound. The stitches done in perfect uniformity in a four inch line. He seemed to be holding in a rage. I quickly grabbed a towel to cover myself. This movement snapped him out of his inner rage and he immediately softened.

"Here baby... Let me help." He reached a hand out and I slowly unwrapped the towel. He walked around the bathroom gathering supplies that I somehow missed. He motioned for me to stand in the center of the bathroom, giving him plenty of room to maneuver around me.

His gentle touch around my tender wound made me involuntarily shiver. His rough calloused hands wrapped the gauze around and around until he was satisfied with his work. He finally pinned the wrap in place and stepped back to admire his handiwork. That's when he saw the scars... from that night. He tensed again, before gesturing to the ugly marks on my pale skin.

"Are... are those from that same night? From those monsters?" His tensed jaw struggled with the words, and I nodded in response. He came close once more, reaching out slowly, stopping to give me an out. I stayed put.

He gently brushed his fingers along the lines and ridges on my back and legs. Looking up at his face, I saw the tears threatening to fall. So, I leapt forth and wrap my arms tightly around him. He immediately responded with a bear hug of his own. 

"Tony?" He hummed in response, never letting go of me. "Will you be my next date?" That got his attention.

He quickly took a step back, holding me at arms length and beamed. 

"Of course I will sweetheart. Finally... I get to spoil you rotten."

"No... Tony... TONY!" Running from the bathroom, the man child began to yell.

"FINALLY MY TURN ASSHOLES! SUCK IT!!!"

All I could do was adjust my clothes and laugh at my man child. My one in a million man child.

A/N:

Hey.... so yes I am alive! Just soooooo freaking busy. And I start college in just a few weeks so yeah. I am still going to try and upload when I can. Huge shout out to my dear friend Laney!! Yeah you know who you are girlie! So anyways, thanks for all of the support on my writing guys. It truly means a lot. I do this for fun in order to escape sometimes so you guys are just amazing for supporting it all.

Also... I just have to say: I have gotten some comments on past chapters about wanting to change the way you look because you hate it. I am not tiny like I make my character. I am a bigger girl and I have never considered myself beautiful. However, I am learning to love myself. Because you know what? Who cares what others think of me? I am my own person, and I just want everyone to know you are an amazing person. A goddess creating light in the dark. So just be you!!!!!! 

Love y'all!
