For @Crystal_Fox22

"Good morning, Mr Stark," you said as he walked in. He looked at you, making you swoon a little on the inside.

He turned to look at you, frowning a little. "Did you do something different with your hair?" he asked.

Your immediate response was to touch it. "Just got a cut."

He smiled. "Looks good on you."

You smiled. "Thanks."

He held out his PDA and you knew you had to sync something with him, surprised he hadn't just sent it in. He synced it was a quick swipe on the glass. You were fortunate enough to be able to work with JARVIS installed on it or you'd probably have been driven crazy with the ridiculous set up of the very forward phone.

Lunch. With me. Today. - 1PM

You weren't sure how to react. "Lunch?" You couldn't help but feel excited. You hadn't gone for lunch with Tony ever and you were sure it would be a fun experience. You couldn't help but smile.

"Mhm. Send that to Madison and tell me when she replies." Well. You knew not to get your hopes up next time. You sighed, nodding. "And give yourself a tip whilst your at it. No less than two zeros and no more than five."

You rolled your eyes. "You can't do that, Tony."

He moved closer. "Why not?"

"Um... Because the company is incorporated..."

He raised and eyebrow. "You just called me Tony."

Had you?! Oh no. You had. "Sorry! I didn't mean to - "

"Eh. It's fine. I like the sound of my name anyways." And there was his usual charm. You giggled and he grinned back before walking into his office.

You let out a breath. Right. You had to send the message to Madison.

*****

Madison was pretty, she was a model and she was most certainly one of those girls with no female friends and all the guys hounding after her. But what Madison was not, was smart. She'd replied you with a:

Tell Tony I'm not going. I'm sick. And tell him I love him!

Tony had given her a phone and on that phone was a little chip that let you GPS track her whether the phone was on or off. Talk about paranoid.

But when you searched up where she was, you knew she was lying.

You got up, knocking on Tony's office. "Mr Stark, I have a reply."

"Come in!" he called.

You opened the door to see him facing the window, enjoying his multimillion dollar view. He spun around. "Well?" he asked.

"She says she's sick and can't make it and that she loves you."

He sighed. "That poor thing. Bad immune systems aren't fun."

Or it because she's cheating and you're too stupid to see that. Whoa. Spiteful much?

"Yes," you said, smiling and gritting your teeth

He looked at you before getting off his chair and walking over. He continued walking as he linked arms with you and began pulling you toward the lift.

"Well, we're going for lunch anyways." If you hadn't been so spiteful, you would've been happy.

*****

You sat opposite him at a high end restaurant with fancy everything.

"Are you ready to order?" the waiter asked. An air of aristocracy loomed around even the waiters.

"Yeah. I'm gonna have the salmon," Tony said, handing him the menu.

You looked at the menu. "Uh... Veal please." There were a lot of different fancy chef words attached to that and all you could say was veal. That was a little saddening.

He took your menu. "And for drinks?"

Tony didn't even hesitate. "The most expensive bottle you have." Someone was going to get somewhere from tipsy to drunk in the next hour and a half.

*****

"I just love her so much," Tony said, slurring his words. You nodded, listening to him ramble on about Madison.

"Yep. Got that."

He laughed. "It's just that I love her like a lot!"

You nodded some more, sighing. She was most definitely cheating on him and you felt like he knew, but you cou,don't bring yourself to tell him. What would you say?

"I think we should go," you said.

He nodded. "Can you take me home?"

You sighed. "Sure."

*****

There was no way to get your head wrapped around the fact that Tony's house was bigger than your little apartment at least a hundred times over. Your apartment could fit into his swimming pool.

He slurred his words and walked before collapsing onto the closest couch. He sighed, looking at you. "You know, if you weren't so uptight about some things, I'd like you more," he said, nodding. He'd drank way too much. "I like you a lot... You're nice."

Did he just...? "I think I'm going to go, Mr Stark - "

"No."

"Excuse me?"

"Stay with me." He sighed. "JARVIS call the pizza people."

"Will do, sir," JARVIS replied.

*****

Minutes later, the doorbell rang and Tony had fallen into a bit of a sleep. He looked so innocent when he slept. That and his mouth didn't ruin everything when it was asleep.

You went to get it, surprised when you found none other than Madison there. Her jaw dropped at the sight of you. "What are you doing here?" she demanded as you let her in. You felt a little bit of courage spur you on.

"I could ask you the same thing."

She laughed, rolling her eyes and flicking her hair. "I'm his girlfriend. Why wouldn't I be here?"

"Mm. And you're also cheating."

She stopped short. "I'm sorry, what?"

"Maddison, you don't have to lie to me, I won't tell him. But you're using him for I have no idea what and it's unfair on him. I - "

She scoffed. "I don't have to listen to scum like you."

You nodded, not wanting to pick more fights. "I guess you don't. But Tony's nice. And he doesn't need another heartbreak."

She rolled her eyes. "Doesn't matter. He's mine so back off. Who cares if I'm seeing someone else on the side too?"

You heard a throat clear and the both of you turned to see Tony standing there, looking completely sober. Your jaw dropped just like hers, but for a different reason. He'd faked it. But why?

"Maddison. We're over," he said, not even looking at her. His eyes stayed on you and he bridged the gap in a few steps. Maddison stomped and left, slamming the door.

You stared at him. "I... I don't get it."

He shrugged. "I knew you thought something was happening and I knew you liked me... I just didn't think you were this level headed."

You laughed. "What kind of compliment is that?"

He wrapped his arm around you, chuckling. "It just is."
