The party, surprisingly, goes smoothlyโthis time, there are no killer robots or world-destroying threats, as usual, just people having fun and an insane amount of alcohol flowing freely through the tower.
And, of course, a drunk Tony Stark, because... does he throw a party if he's not completely drunk? Of course not.
"I love you. Have I said that before?"
Those three words don't even make you flinch, not anymoreโand you know Tony won't be the least bit embarrassed by your lack of reaction. Instead, he tucks a stray strand of hair behind your ear.
You don't remember exactly when it started, but it was probably around the time he had three failed missions in a row. As his friend for several years, you naturally reciprocated, but Tony quickly explained that he loved you not platonically, but romantically.
This small confession rocked your world because you didn't feel the same way about him. And even if you wanted to make a big deal out of it, Tony said he didn't expect you to reciprocate, that he just wanted to say it out loud and that nothing would change between you, but he asked you not to say it if you didn't feel the same way.
And Tony gets into the habit of telling you "I love you" at least once a day, and even if your relationship hasn't fundamentally changed, everyone can tell he's in love with youโas your biggest fan, he's probably waiting for the time when you'll give him a chance, and your attitude won't discourage him in the least.
"I love you," Tony repeats, his words slurring slightly.
