Anthony ‘Tony’ Edward Stark
Thirty Eight | His Suit | Masculine ♂| Iron Man | Single
Tony laid in Hadley’s bed quietly. It was late, and normally at this time of night he would be in his lab working on some sort of project. A lot of people didn’t know this but he was an insane insomniac. He would just stay up night after night until he eventually passed out from exhaustion. It was due to the constant nightmares he faced. He took medicine but they never really helped. He had gotten better at it when he was with Pepper because she would come downstairs and convince him to come up and having someone there with him while he slept always gave him a sense of security but now that they weren’t together he had settled back into his old routine. Since he wasn’t in his lab he busied himself with reading some book she had lying around. It wasn’t the most interesting but it would do until it was morning time and she eventually woke up. It was some book called Twilight which unironically was also about vampires. He was starting to sense a pattern here. Seems his girl liked vampires. He paused for a moment. Was he really considering her his girl now? They weren’t really dating despite having kissed and her taking her out on a date tomorrow night and they hardly knew each other but he wanted her and he would be damned if someone else tried to take her from him. So yeah. He supposed she was now his girl. The light from his arc was bright enough to provide a light in order for him to read. Typically he didn’t lay without shirts but he needed a light source and he hadn’t wanted to turn on the light switch and possibly wake her up. If he was being honest he wasn’t kind of afraid on how she would react if she saw his arc up close and personal. He knew not everyone minded but it was a bright blue circle in the middle of his chest so it wasn’t like it was unnoticeable. He didn’t like to admit it but it was something he was insecure about but he had no choice but to except it otherwise the shrapnel in his body would pierce his heart and kill him.
Three hours past before he started sensing something was wrong but being the person that he was he always put all his focus on one thing and right now it was reading this ridiculously corny book. Like seriously what kind of creep sneaks into a teenage girl’s room and watched her sleep? And technically wouldn’t this be pedophillia because while Edward looked like a teen he was still hundreds of years old. And if he wasn’t able to control himself around Swan girl than how was he able to not kill her the entire book? And why were they all even still in high school if they were vampires? Couldn’t they just pass as eighteen year olds and not suffer through school all over again? And why has none of them spent their immortal life trying to find a cure for all the world’s disease? Or better yet was he really supposed to believe that they were never caught out in the sunlight? The excuse of checking the weather was bullshit because everyone knows the weather doesn’t listen to anybody’s rules. It just doesn’t make any sense.
When Hadley bolted up in a state of panic Tony jolted slightly. Their gazed locked and he looked at her for a moment with a worried expression on his face, tossing the book back down to the ground. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close and listened to what she had to say. Rubbing her back gently he frowned. Men like Ricky didn’t deserve women like Hadley and yet nice women always seemed to get hurt by these abusers. It wasn’t right. “Shh. It’s okay.” He cooed, lifting his hand to run it through her soft blonde hair. Leaning back he stared down at her with a warm smile and lifted his hand to wipe at her tears. ”I won’t let him hurt you anymore.” He promised.
