@ironhusbandsweek @rhfenovemberbash Day 6: Laundry Day, “I’m in love - holy shit.”

Fandom: Marvel, Iron Man Characters: Tony Stark/James “Rhodey” Rhodes Tags: Dorks in Love, Fluff, Family, Established Relationship, Domestic Words: 3.165

Summary: It takes doing the laundry for Tony to realize he is completely, irrevocably in love with Rhodey. Who knew that the way to Tony Stark’s heart is to teach him how to wash his clothes. 

—

Doing the laundry has lost its terror at some point over the past year. Now, Tony handles laundry day like a professional instead of the lost boy who grew up with a butler taking care of all that for him. That is naturally only possible because of Rhodey.

With a fond smile, Tony looks at the framed list hanging over their washing machine that Rhodey wrote him after Tony completely ruined the first load of clothes he ever washed. Tony does not need it anymore, but he likes to look at it, likes to think back to their beginnings.

It has a set of rules on it as well as a helpful drawing to remind him where the detergent goes. Never mix colours. Don’t cook wool. Your suit needs to be handwashed. And Tony’s personal favourite, although he never quite adhered to it, doing the laundry does not give you an excuse to steal my clothes.

It is just fact that Rhodey’s clothes are far more comfortable than his own, especially because Tony is drowning in them. That makes it much easier to huddle up and pretend that the world cannot touch him. The world, of course, is not as frightening anymore since Rhodey stepped into his life.

Humming, Tony opens the washing machine and beings sorting the laundry. If anyone told him even four years ago that he would do such a menial task without complaining, even with a smile of his face, he would have declared them insane. They do not even have a cleaning service, although that was an argument Rhodey only barely won. He is so adamant on not overdoing things. His condition for sharing an apartment was that they would equally split the costs.

One of Rhodey’s hoodies comes up, and it is an automatic reaction to raise it to his nose and inhale. It smells of the expensive aftershave Tony always keeps in stock. Underneath that, it is undeniable Rhodey’s.

Warmth spreads through Tony’s chest as he smiles down at the fabric. He is going to hurry up to get the machine working and then he will join Rhodey upstairs on the couch. They both have work to do, but that can wait. All Tony wants is to share Rhodey’s space, which truly is the only thing that feels like home.

Suddenly, he goes very still as a thought pierces his mind familiar but equal parts unbidden.

“I’m in love –” Tony says, testing the words in a hoarse voice. Then, even more heartfelt, “Holy shit.”

The realization is as monumental as it is unsurprising. Something shifts inside Tony, moving from relaxed and happy to a new panic, a new fear of doing something wrong.

This is big. It changes everything – well, not how Tony feels and not that he preferably wants to spend the rest of his life with Rhodey, not that he is the happiest when the first and last thing he sees every day is Rhodey.

It is true. He is in love.

@ironhusbandsweek @rhfenovemberbash Day 5: “Are you jealous?”

Fandom: MCU, Avengers, Iron Man Characters: Tony Stark/James “Rhodey” Rhodes, Clint Barton, Steve Rogers, Pepper Potts Tags: Secret Marriage, Fluff, Humor, Love Words: 2.592

Summary: “Are you jealous?” Tony asks as he downs the champagne Rhodey hands him automatically. “Why do I have the feeling you want me to say yes?” Because then they’d have a reason to leave the Avengers party and make the night much more enjoyable for themselves.

- Rhodey and Tony are secretly married - right up until Rhodey blurts out their secret in the middle of an Avengers party. Nobody wants to believe that someone managed to make Tony Stark settle down, but they are gkad to set the Avengers straight.

—

Tony is breathless. Every once in a while, the Avengers throw a party for friends and influential people to mingle with them. Well, Tony throws the party and makes sure it becomes a success because the only other person on the team who knows how to entertain people is Natasha. The rest are more or less only good at one-on-one talks or shuffling around in the corner failing at not looking overwhelmed.

These are, admittedly, grand affairs. Steve, at least, should be used to them. The USO threw parties where he was the glittering guest of honour, and propaganda does not work half as well when the mascot does not follow the tune.

Tony was even holding back. The Avengers parties are orderly and dignified. He has organized wilder things from his dorm room without the funds and influence he has available to him today.

It does not matter much. People are happy talking to their heroes even if they appear too shy to get dragged onto the dancing floor or get drunk just for the fun of it. Natasha surely uses the evening to gather intel on every important guest, and Tony has seen Bruce discussing business with several other scientists. Barton looks like he would prefer crawling around the air shafts, although he should be used to the attention as a former circus performer. Steve sits next to him, nursing his champagne as if he is in any danger of getting tipsy from it.

While he is leading the wife of one of his shareholders over the dance floor, Tony sees Rhodey sitting down at the Avengers table, looking satisfied enough that he must have found someone to tell his stories too.

When the song comes to an end, Tony bows with a dazzling smile and delivers the woman right back into her husband’s hands, exchanging the needed compliments before he excuses himself. He needs a break and a drink – and possibly an excuse to sneak out of here. Parties are nice, and his parties are the best, but there are places he would much rather be.

Not stopping on his way despite several people trying to get his attention, Tony makes a beeline for the Avengers table and lets himself fall into the seat next to Rhodey with a long-suffering sigh. Without comment, Rhodey hands his glass over, which Tony drains gratefully.

Already far more content, Tony sets the glass down and grins up at Rhodey. His mere presence has him more relaxed.

“Are you jealous, buttercup?” Tony asks, nodding at the dancing floor as if he has done a great feat out there.

Rhodey’s expression becomes playful as he leans closer. “I have the feeling you want me to say yes.”

Fandom: Marvel, Iron Man Characters: Tony Stark/James “Rhodey” Rhodes, Howard Stark Tags: Grief, Howard’s A+ Parenting, Love, Emotional H/C, Funeral Words: 4.315

Summary: “Boy,” Howard calls over the cemetary, “did you really bring your college fling home?” Rhodey builds himself up, never letting go of Tony’s hand. “No, sir,” he says, putting a slight emphasis on sir that could mean anything from a gentle warning that they are in public to an outright threat. “He brought his best friend to the funeral of his other best friend.”

- Jarvis dies and leaves Tony devastated. Rhodey is there to remind him that he is not alone.

—

When Tony does not turn up to the party they promised to meet up at, Rhodey’s first reaction is annoyed fondness. The past weeks were crazy, stuffed to the brim with tests and experiments and some extracurricular projects that Tony was quiet about enough to tell Rhodey they were for Stark Industries.

Things are supposed to calm down now, and the party was a good starting point for that. Rhodey has not seen Tony drink anything alcoholic for over a week, which must be some kind of record.

Dodging dozens of other students, Rhodey makes his way through the house for one last search for Tony. It is not like he needs Tony there to have fun. They do things separately often enough. But if Tony is not here, he is in the lab, where he often forgets all about the time. If Rhodey just leaves him there, he will never hear the end of it.

He could call, although Tony never hears the phone ringing and would not pick up even if he did. He is like that when he is working. It is amusing, at least when Rhodey does not have to walk all over campus to get Tony because of it.

The truth is, he does not have as much fun without Tony. His friends call them sickeningly co-dependant, which he does not mind. He loves spending time with Tony, and they did not have too many chances for that over the past weeks, at least not if it did not involve their classwork. Rhodey wants Tony here, so he goes to find him.

He walks leisurely over to the labs. It does not matter, he thinks, if they do not go back to the party together afterwards. A quiet night together is just as enjoyable, if not more so.

The labs, when he gets there, are dark. No music is turned up loud enough to turn people deaf two floors up.

“Tony?” Rhodey calls nonetheless.

He walks further in and finds no sign of Tony anywhere. Nothing has even changed from the last time they were here together. That is when Rhodey knows something is wrong.

Without further ado, he hurries towards their dorm, wondering where Tony could have gone. It is possible that they missed each other somewhere on the way, that Tony arrived at the party after Rhodey has left. Somehow, Rhodey has a feeling that is not it.

Early into their acquaintance, before they were even friends, Rhodey learned to worry about Tony. No matter how well things seem to be going, there is always another layer, another issue.

Rhodey takes two steps at a time as he hurries up to their floor and then down the hall. The entire house appears deserted. Everybody is glad to have some time to breathe again.

Rushing into their room, Rhodey stops short in the doorway. He was right. Tony is here and something is wrong.

Tony sits on the ground in front of his bed, legs pulled up to his chest, staring at something only he can see. He does not look up when Rhodey comes in, does not even appear to notice. His face is slack, far from the ready mask he hides behind at any time. He looks ready to shatter at one wrong word.

“Tony,” Rhodey says, managing to sound much calmer than he feels. Everything that goes wrong with Tony automatically pushes him into a panic. It is a trained instinct because Tony does not do half-measures.

Slowly, Rhodey walks into the room and crouches down in front of Tony, far enough to not crowd him but close enough to reach out if Tony will allow it.

“What happened?” Rhodey asks and saves all the platitudes laying on his tongue for when he knows what is going on.

Tony winces but it happens slowly. Not like Rhodey’s sudden presence has startled him but like he is fighting to return to the presence. When he finally looks up, his eyes are red-rimmed, with an unhealthy sheen to them.  

He stares at Rhodey like he does not fully register his presence.

“Jarvis,” he then says, slowly, toneless. “He’s –” Tony’s eyes drop as he finishes with a mere whisper, “dead.”

#ironhusbandsweek #ihw2019 #rhodeytonynovemberbash #day 2

[ironhusbandsweek]

beginning & endings & what comes between

So this prompt (Beginnings & Endings) is actually from yesterday? Oops. I tossed a little magic there at the end, so that should cover today’s prompt. Again for @ironhusbandsweek & @rhfenovemberbash. 

And apologies for the angst? 

~*~ 

Beginnings aren’t like endings. 

You wish they were. You wish you could remember the first time you saw him, the first time you heard the name Tony Stark. You wish you knew, the moment your life changed forever. 

You don’t. There were whispers and rumors about the tiny teenager tearing through MIT before you ever paid attention, whispers that sank through the fog of study and drill and dream. 

You vaguely remember seeing him, weighed down by books, muttering furiously, in coffee shops and classrooms and the gleam of light in mostly dark labs, something later you would know was Tony, would use to drag him out of the lab and into bed. 

You wish you remembered. 

You remember when you took pity on him, small and furious and beautiful and brilliant, claimed him as yours–lab partner and friend, roommate and brother, and maybe you didn’t know then, but you know now and that matters more, you think. 

You wish, too, you remembered the first time he looked at you. When you felt heat curl in your gut at the little smirk that he never gave anyone else. You wish you remembered the way his name tasted the first time you gasped it as you got yourself off in the shower, wish you could remember what that first fantasy was. 

You wish you remembered the way your heartbeat too fast, your gut tightened, your cock ached, wished you remembered the wild fluttering hope when he rolled into your arms, curled close and you had to remind yourself you were his best friend, that’s all, that’s it. 

You don’t. You remember the feeling, hot and intoxicating and devastating. You remember the taste of his lips when you kissed him, the coffee and grease. You remember the way he passed out before you could go any further, exhausted and exultant, and you carried him to your bed. 

You remember waking to his mouth on you, hot and impossible to forget, and the way he felt when you pushed into him, velvety heat, wiry strength and throaty groans and his fingers digging into your shoulders as he panted against your mouth. 

You couldn’t forget that if you tried. 

You don’t remember how it started. You don’t remember those early moments when your world shifted, and you want them, you want them so goddamn bad, because you want every moment with him, want to turn them over and polish them and keep them safe, a little dragon’s horde of treasured memories. 

That’s not how beginnings work. 

Endings–endings are abrupt. 

Endings are dusty fields and his voice ringing out across it and fear clutching you, ice cold and terrible. 

Endings are power he can’t handle, wrapping around him and tearing through him and his silence because he’s strong, he’s so fucking strong and he would never scream. 

Endings are Pepper holding Peter, and the kid’s sobs in your ears and Tony’s eyes–bright and brilliant and beautiful–on yours, and his lips twisted in a smirk you know is yours. 

Endings are you whispering reassurances and him mouthing your name and silence, terrible terrible silence where his heartbeat should be. 

~*~ 

Second chances…

Second chances are Strange’s magic and Helen’s Cradle and Wanda’s power and Tony’s sheer fucking stubbornness. 

Second chances are months of waiting, impossibly short endless months while he lingers in a coma and you sit at his side and ignore the world stumbling beyond these thin walls. 

Second chances are Peter in the house, his voice different but familiar and you praying that Tony will hear it again. 

Second chances are hearing a heart monitor in the depth of sleep, and your daughter whispering, “Daddy,” and a hand tightening around yours. 

And you store it up, each precious memory as he blinks at you. 

You won’t forget a single fucking second of this.
