Love Again (Tony X Reader) (One-shot)

*Flashback*

"Tony we need to talk." Pepper said as she seated herself across from him.

"What about?" Tony asked.

"I'm leaving you." she said bluntly.

*End Flashback*

Taste the pain right on my tongue
Novocain to make me numb
Don't you worry 'cause the night is young
Dance until the morning sun
Morning sun
Morning sun
Morning, morning, morning-ning-ning-ning-ning-ning

"Hey Tony. We need to talk." you said as you entered his bedroom. Tony was worried, this is how his last conversation with Pepper started.

"What about?" he asked as he turned around to face you.

I am at a loss for words
Can't believe I let you pull me down to this place
You stole my heart and soul
Just to think that I had dried those tears from your face
I've played such a foolish game
Feeling you were everything to me and more
I don't mean to point the blame
But baby you have hurt me to my very core

"Do you love me?" you asked, your eyes began to water.

"You are a very important person to me." he said, avoiding the question.

"Do you love me?" you asked again.

Silence.

"I don't think I can love again." he said. Obviously referring to Pepper.

You don't know why
You don't know how
You don't know when to love again
You let me in then shut me out
You have to learn to love again

Learn to love again
Learn to love again
Learn to love again

"So you don't love me?" you asked, tears falling from your eyes.

"I-I-I-"

"Do you love me?! How hard is it to say yes or no?!" you shouted, angry.

Take me away from here
To a place where my feelings don't go to waste
We were in the atmosphere
Flying high above the stars that shone on your face

So I'm running running baby from this hurting that you've given me
All through the night
I'll be dancin' baby dancin' so your pretty face is hard to see
Tonight, tonight, tonight (Dancin' through the night)

"Do you love me? Do you think you could ever love me? I don't want to waste my time on you if you don't love me or could never love me." you explained as you sat beside him.

"I can't. I don't know!" he yelled, burying his head in his hands as he began to cry.

"Look at me." you said as you pulled his face towards yours. You stared into his tear filled eyes as he stared into yours.

"I-I'm sorry." he cried.

You don't know why
You don't know how
You don't know when to love again
You let me in then shut me out
You have to learn to love again

"I love you." you said as you tried to comfort him. "I don't want to leave you. Don't force me to go."

"I don't want you to leave." he said as he pulled you close into a hug.

Imma teach you how to love
Imma teach you
Imma teach you how to love
Imma teach you

Learn to love again (Imma teach you how to love)
Learn to love again (Imma teach you)
Learn to love again, love again, love again (Imma teach you to love)

"Then how do you feel about me? You're just confusing me Tony." you muffled into his shoulder, still crying.

Taste the pain right on my tongue
Novocain to make me numb
Don't you worry 'cause the night is young
Dance until the morning sun

Tony pulled away from the hug slowly. You could see the hurt in his eyes. This was Peppers doing. He loved her with all his heart. Was there any room for you in there? Was it possible for him to love again? You've been trying for more than three years now and he has never said the three words you always wanted to hear.

Taste the pain right on my tongue (You don't know why, you don't know how)
Novocain to make me numb (You don't know when to love again)
Don't you worry 'cause the night is young (You let me in then shut me out)
Dance until the morning sun (You have to learn to love again)
Morning sun (Love again)
Morning sun (Love again)
Morning, morning sun (Love, love again)

"(Name)." he sobbed, cupping your face in his hands and slowly pulling it towards his. You closed the gap, smashing your lips onto his. Drowning yourself in his warmth.

Imma teach you how to love

You don't know why
You don't know how
You don't know when to love again
You let me in then shut me out
You have to learn to love again

"Do you love me?" you asked again. He didn't answer. "Will you ever say it?"

"I love you (Name)." he whispered. He wiped away your tears.

"About time you said it." you laughed lightly, gaining a chuckle from Tony before he leaned in for another kiss. You pulled his face to yours and crashed your lips together. Loosing yourselves in the kiss that took more than three years to happen.








*Extended Ending*

Over the next few days you had tried to get Tony to say those three words again but had failed. He would pretend not to hear you or change the subject. But you were determined. Very determined.

"Hey Tony. I have a few questions for you." you said as you sat across from him as he ate his breakfast.

"Alright." he said, waiting for you to start.

"Just say the first thing that pops into your head. Ready?" you asked. He shook his head yes. "What is my birthday?"

"(Date of birth)."

"What is my favorite color?"

"(Favorite color)."

"Where was I born?"

"(Place of birth)."

"How tall am I?"

"(Height)."

"And how do you feel about me?"

"I love you." he blurted out. You jumped for joy. Tony smiled at your adorableness.

"Thanks babe." you said as you ran out of the room. Little did he know, you had recorded the end of the conversation. Able to replay those three words whenever you want to, and you did.
