Well, today was the special day for the couples all around the world. Yes, it's Valentine's Day!
The day of love! Tony Stark always waited for this day for his beloved lover, Y/N. He wanted to cherish this special moment for a long time memory of their bonding. But, something happened..
You both were about to celebrate Valentine's Day, but suddenly, the Avengers were recruited for a new mission today, and they had to include everyone. Tony didn't wanted to go and tried finding a quicker way to prevent himself from leaving the house. Immediately he finally had thought of a great plan, by playing a small act, where he pretends to be sick. He was able to trick the others into believing he truly was, though they felt without Tony they cannot proceed with the mission. Meanwhile you, who wasn't even aware that Tony was pretending, you were equally worried and concerned for him.
"Tony, without you how can we do the mission? It's impossible." Steve said.
"Cap, I know. But I'm sorry, I won't able to join you in this case. I have to make sure none of you get affected in the same way. Also, I don't know when I might pass out if this sickness grows worse." Tony replied, fake coughing a bit.
"Tony's right, Steve. I don't think you should send him to the mission. I advise you to try your best, if you need anything, Tony will be available. Just don't mind hitting a call." Y/N steps in the discussion, persuading Steve and the others to let Tony go for the mission. He was internally smiling, as his plan was successfully working.
"Okay, Y/N. As you say. Avengers, let's go." Steve commands his team, and they head to the compound. Tony was doing the "yes yes!" behind your back as he was now so excited to spend the whole day with you and him together.
You turn around and Tony comes back to his normal state, fake coughing again. "Tony, I think I should take care of your fever first, go to bed I'll be back." You were about to head to the kitchen and make some soup. Tony bit his lip playfully and well knows what to do next.
Tony was in his bedroom, wrapped around in a blanket like a cocoon. You came inside with the bowl of soup with the steam flowing. You keep it aside on the nightstand and checked his fever.
"Wait.. why does it feel like you're not sick?" You raised an eyebrow.
Tony widen his eyes, feeling he's maybe about to be caught. Fake coughing again, he speaks in a weak tone. "N-no, I am sick.. what do you mean?"
"I know but, your body heat is at a normal temperature, Tony. Let me check the thermometer, I could be wrong-" Before you could do something, Tony grabbed you by the arm and pulled you in bed, making you gasp.
"Tony, what the-!" You were cut off my Tony putting a finger on your lips, shushing you off.
"Shhhh.. not a word, and stay here with me cuddled." Tony wraps an arm around your waist, pulling you close.
"B-but, Tony your sick! I can't stick with you or I'll-"
"I'm not sick, silly. I was pretending to be." Tony smirks, and winks. You, were left in surprise. The one who you thought wasn't feeling well, was pretending to be sick all this time. Tony kept his signature smirk, while doing his little play along. You smack his arm, making him wince in pain.
"Ow! What was that for?" Tony rubbed his arm, soothing it.
"Oh, I'll tell you who's sick!" You tried to get up your bed but Tony kept you tightly hugged.
"Hey, let me go! You lied that you were sick? Why so?"
"Baby, you know it's Valentine's Day! I can't really waste this special day going on to the mission with others."
"For Valentine's Day, you actually didn't go to the mission?"
"I know it seems clumsy but, not just for Valentine's Day. But for you too. Think about it, we wouldn't make any good memories because we were so busy in ourselves. You will feel bad, and I would feel bad, knowing we didn't celebrate this special day, which was actually meant for us. And you know it's the thing that always help relationships to be happier than ever. I promised you, we will be the best couple ever. I'll do everything to keep you happy and this.." Tony grabs and intertwined his fingers with yours. ".. special bonding between us. Which is too precious and I'm afraid to break it. I'm sorry but.. I hope you understand me, Y/N." Tony shook his head, and looked back at you with his sad eyes.
You heard his gentle words, with all the emotions mixed. It did melt your heart knowing Tony was so conscious about you and your relationship. But you did know that his happiness mattered in yours too. As long, he was happy you were too. He specially, didn't wanted you to be upset, so he didn't go. If he finally got the chance, then maybe, it wasn't bad after all spending it all with him.
Like, you never could have been more lucky this way. You cuddled onto his warm body, wrapping your arms back at him, growing closer and feeling each other's breaths.
"You're a stupid dork, but you are my stupid dork." You smiled and Tony automatically smiled back. "Trying to pretend being sick for Valentine's Day."
"Oh, does that make me bad?" He darkens his eyes, smirking.
"Well, not because you actually had a good reason why you did this little act for today." You shrugged.
"Anyways, you know what I'm gonna do on Valentine's Day with you." He snuggles closer to your neck, whispering in your ear near it. "Kisses, cuddles, jokes, laughs.. so much." He pecked your neck cutely, making you chuckle.
"I just wanna stay in bed for long as I can, I don't wanna go. I am sick in your love." Tony grinned and cuddled onto your chest.
"Aw, sure sweetheart!" You replied, seeing how adorable this dork was. Feeling Tony's kisses on your collarbone, you couldn't do anything but chuckle because it did tickle from the way Tony was doing it. Soon, his lips brought to yours, in a passionate, full of love kiss. He pulls off and then lastly kisses your cheek, looking at your gentle E/C eyes. Suddenly, you heard somebody's stomach grumble, making you both face each other.
"I'm hungry. Let's make something." It was Tony's stomach which grumbled, he hadn't eaten anything a while.
"Oh, why don't you finish this soup that I made?" You hand him over the bowl of soup you made for him.
"Uhm.. well, since my baby has made this with full of love and care, I'll appreciate it." He takes the soup and takes a sip of it, feeling the lukewarm liquid fall into his taste buds. He did enjoy it to the fullest, he did.
"Wow, I really love this." Tony nods and drinks the rest, while you keep on seeing him lovingly. He finishes the soup, keeping it aside as he gets up the bed. "Whew! I'm done, come, let's go to the kitchen-"
"Wait, you're still hungry?" You asked.
"Yeah, you know what I really crave for more on this day." Tony leans closer to you, eyeing you up and down, hoping you get what he means. Tony offered you his hand, and you pleasurely take it. Both of you head to the kitchen, as Tony tries looking for the items required.
"Sweetheart, can you pass me the cook book in the drawer?" Tony requested, and you took out the book and gave it to him. What was he even gonna do?
"Today.. we're gonna make.. red velvet cake. What do you think?" Tony looked at you, winking. Wow, red velvet? That's a special delicacy. You give him a thumbs up and prepared to take out the flour. Tony instructed which items he requires to bake the cake. After you get all the components, Tony begins to make the cake batter, while you were busy making the cream.
Not to forget, the counter did become a huge mess, while both of you were trying to attempt making the most delicious red velvet cake. Well, who said slabs always remained cleaned when we are cooking something special?
"Babe, can you pass the baking soda?" Tony raised his hand, waiting for you to give what he wanted. You tried to joke with him by giving a random object, thinking it was the one he wanted and shakes it on the batter. Seeing it wasn't baking soda, he turned to you, trying to hold your laugh. He tilts his head and laughs back at your silliness.
"Oh, baby. You're really not gonna let me finish our cake." Tony smirked, and took the actual baking soda packet in your hand. You continued to work on the cream, and took a taste of it. Wow, it was delicious for real! You wanted Tony to try it out too.
"Hey, honey?" You called him out, who was washing something in the sink. "Can you taste this?
Tony stopped the tap in the sink, and walks towards you, seeing you grabbing the cream with your single finger and giving it near him.
"You want me to take a taste? Okay then." Tony grabs your hand and brings his mouth towards your finger, as he takes the cream onto his tongue, swirling it around. You just blushed when he did that. That tongue he had did many, many talented things that you could never imagine. He did notice your cheeks turning red, thoroughly enjoying you being flustered. He pulls off, trying to examine the taste.
"Hmm, it's good! Is this buttercream?" He guessed.
"Yeah, it is. It's almost ready by the way." You nodded. "How's your batter doing?"
"Oh, well.." He rubbed his hair, and showed you his side. It was incredibly messy, that you chuckled.
"Who knew the reason why doesn't anyone allow you in the kitchen?" You joked, chuckling.
"Hey, that's not funny okay? I'm trying my best." He gives you a sad pout.
"Of course you are, you adorable little dork!" You grabbed his face to peck his nose, and both turn back to the sound of the microwave that was now preheated. Tony smiles and returns back to his station, and prepared to put the batter into the cake tin. You kept the cream batter aside, and watched Tony set the timer. He wiped off his fingers, and folds his arms.
"Twenty five minutes." Tony grins, as he can clearly see the excitement on your face. "Is the cream ready?"
"Yup! All set, boss!" You show him a thumbs up. You both then started to pick up the dirty utensils, items and cleaned to put them in their respective places. The counter was fresh clean, and when you were finished, Tony grabbed you by the waist and put you up on counter, making you squeal.
"Hey, what was-" Before you could say anything, Tony shushes you, and wrapped his arms around your back, pulling for a passionate kiss. You immediately got lost into it and deepened it. The cake was being baked along while you both were having a intimate moment together.
Tony pulled off for a while, looking at your gentle eyes. "Since we have twenty five minutes left, let's have some fun." He pulls in again, kissing your lips. You wrap your arms around his neck, joining in as his tongue tasted of the cream frosting.
Your boyfriend then began to whisper sweet nothings in your ear, telling how glad he was that you were here in his life. "I'm so lucky to have you. God, my life would have been incomplete if it weren't for you."
"And if it weren't for you, my life wouldn't have been any better too. Maybe we both were made for each other." You replied, smiling back.
"Of course we were, sweetheart." Tony laid his head over yours. "I mean, this cake wouldn't have been baked with so much love without you."
"Haha, if it weren't for me, you would have burnt the kitchen." You laughed loudly, and Tony did laugh back at your joke.
"Why do you always think I keep you as a cook when I actually don't know how to. You see how messy my part of the counter was? You definately would have gone mad."
"Well, I mean, unless you don't break anything I won't." You pursed your lips and raised your eyebrows. "But I know you won't do that to disappoint me."
"Aww my baby trusts me so much." He cutely snuggles over you, and kept on talking about many things, until the beep was heard from the microwave. You clapped in excitement and opened the door, seeing the flavoured steam going through your nostrils, and you got lost in it.
"It already looks so delicious! Let's frost it now!" Tony takes out the cake tin carefully and put it onto rest. When it had cooled down, you both then began to frost it with the cream, and put a few decorations. Tony allowed you to decorate it as you wish, and you did it, beautifully. You made a heart-shape over the head of the cake, and colored it with the edible red powder.
Tony held a surprised face, seeing your artistic skills coming to the picture. "Wow, honey. I guess this cake will really be a delicacy." He leans closer to you. "Like you?"
You blushed and slapped his arm playfully, at his teasing nature. Damn, this man knew how to spice thing at the right time. You and Tony then cut the cake and along that, you even made some coffee to watch a romantic movie after that. You both get seated on the couch, choosing your favorite movie and began watching it while eating the cake you both made together. It was comedy one, since angsty ones weren't your type. You both laughed, giggled at the jokes, silliness and pure humor, and in some scenes where the couple in the movie were being intimate, Tony grabbed your hand and gently rubbed his thumb over your skin. You were slightly blushing, imagining if it were you and him there, experiencing it all. The couple sure fighted in silly situations, but they did get together as if nothing happened, because they know without each other, they are nothing. You did feel heartwarmed, and grabbed his hand tighter, not wanting him to leave you. You shifted closer to his chest, resting your head on it as Tony puts his arm over you, enjoying the movie.
You were feeling a little drowsy and tired, that you were falling asleep over Tony. He gently rubs your hair, to soothe you in comfort, you gently moan in relief, and snuggle more closer to him. He did feel the heat flushing through his body when you were so comfortable with him at the moment. Warmed underneath the blanket, and cuddled onto each other. The movie almost ended, and see that it was almost nighttime. Tony helped you get up and put you to bed, by picking you up in bridal style, and before he can tuck you in, you spoke up weakly.
"Can we have a warm shower together?" You looked at him, opening your eyes a little bit. Tony doesn't say anything and agrees to what you want to do. "Alright."
You both get into the shower, closing the glass door. The warm, steamy water falls over your bodies, sighing in relief as your tensed muscles relaxed. You also saw Tony, closing his eyes while he takes all the water flowing through his toned body, looking at you with his almost shut eyes.
"Is there something you wanted to say, Y/N?" Tony asked, delicately. You look at him, and all you can say to him was..
"Thank you.. for what you did for me this day." You smiled at the one who made your day a lot better. You really never enjoyed so much, specially on a day where love is celebrated. This truly showed that he cared for you, a lot.
"It's never a problem, Y/N. Your happiness is my happiness. If you take care of me so much, then I pay love to you in return, and that will always be my rule." He smiles back, and both of you hug each other, being so glad for what happened today. Tony then felt you sniff, and sob, as he turns around and sees you cry.
"Baby? A-are you okay? Did I say anything wrong?" He caresses your face, his expression being worried.
"No.. you didn't. I just never felt so happy today. I swear. I could never be thankful." You sobbed and hugged him even tighter. "Just don't ever leave me, please. I'll do everything for you but just don't!"
Tony felt his heart break when he saw you cry like that. Though you didn't fight, but he hates to see his beloved cry like that. He pushes you away gently and wipes your tears.
"I won't leave you, okay? Why would I even leave my best girl?" Tony grinned. "And somehow, no one is perfect as you. And as long, I am here with you, I'll keep you happier."
Hearing Tony's sweet words, you felt a little relieved and enjoyed the rest of the shower with him in a sweet embrace. After getting freshened up, you both wore comfortable clothes, and plopped yourselves to bed.
"Whew! That was a tiring day." Tony sighed.
"Tiring? We didn't even go to work." You raised an eyebrow.
"Come on, it sure was tiring when we were giving love to each other, now I'm drained."
"Oh, so.. how can we bring it back then?"
As soon you asked this question, Tony's eyes immediately turned dark, and smirked playfully. You widen your eyes, feeling where this is definately going now. He grows closer to you, your bodies connecting each other.
"I know. We can make love back." Tony whispered teasingly. You then immediately smirked and raised an eyebrow.
"Looks like we're ending Valentine's Day on a special note, huh?"
Tony hummed and rolled on top of you, kissing your lips passionately. As both can continue, Tony's phone rang. He groaned in frustration, and checked that it was Steve's call. Oh shit.
Tony got back to his position and attended it. "H-hello?" Tony fake coughed, pretending to be in his sick state as you held your laugh.
"Oh hey, Tony. I wanted to say that the mission was a success, and we didn't really need your help, that's a surprise."
"Wow, that's amazing. Like, I finally have Y/N taking care of me and I'm feeling much better."
"That's great. I hope you recover very soon, and we're coming back in no time."
"Alrighty, Cap. See ya." Tony declined the call and both laughed in hysteria.
"Damn who knew you were really a good actor, Tony Stark?" You smirked.
"Come on let's forget it, now where were we? Aw dang it, Cap is such a blocker." He chuckled.
"Well, at least he's equally concerned for you." You shrugged.
"I know, they all are." He rolled his eyes, and wrapped his arms around you. "Now, let's restore the love again, shall we?" He tilts his head and pull the covers over each other, spending the rest of Valentine's Day together.
