   "Y/n?" Tony called for the little munchkin that was no where in sight. He had been looking around the tower, asking the whole gang if they had seen the kid anywhere, everyone answering with a no or a shake of the head.
   Tony grumbles to himself, "Why can't that little midget just stay put for more than a couple-" he is cut off by sobbing coming from the pantry. Tony slowly walks over towards the pantry, eyebrows furrowed, trying to figure out who or what's in there. He goes for the handle, trying to open it but finding that it's locked. He looks for a key, and finds it on the floor. Weird, he thinks to himself.
   He unlocks the door and swings it open, finding y/n curled up into a ball in the corner of the pantry. Their eyes puffy from crying, and their lip quivering violently. Y/n looks up and cries harder, shuffling to their feet and running to Tony, gripping his pants with all of their strength, "Uncle T-Tony! It was s-so dark and scary in the pantry uncle T-Tony! I was so scared!" They cried, their sniffles breaking Tony'a heart. He kneels down, engulfing the little one in a bear hug...

"Don't you ever be scared y/n..."

"I'll be your flashlight..."

Sorry that was so cheesy and short. I just loved the idea of  Tony having that soft side, and just being their for you through thick and thin. He's so precious HALP. I wanted to cry while just typing this up, even though it's short I think it sort of gets a cute message across, and if you didn't like it or have suggestions for my writing, PLEASE TELL ME. I need criticism to improve my writing, cause I know it's not as good as it should be lmao. Anyways, I hope you guys liked it. Requests are open but I can only take a few just because of school and all that jazz. 🖤🖤🖤 (love y'all)
