As the errant 15 year old son of a weapons mogul, Tony was used to a lot.

He was used to beds much bigger than him, clothes more expensive that they needed to be, and a lifestyle that usually had him wanting for nothing.

What he wasn’t used to, was friends.

Actually, that was wrong.

He was used to the kind of friends who were more enamoured with his last name than they were with him, who loved his bottomless wallet, and who envied his sharp mind.

He wasn’t sure to friends like Rhodey.

Rhodey, who picked him off the side of the road at 2am and tucked him in

Rhodey, who yelled he’s a 15 year old boy get your fucking hands off him before i call the police

Rhodey, who gave Tony his MIT sweater and valiantly never mentioned that Tony wore it to bed every night.

In hindsight, it shouldn’t have taken Tony 2 years to realise that he was in love with Rhodey.

And it definitely shouldn’t have taken Rhodey interrupting his lab binge session to talk about Carol Danvers oh you got to meet her Tones she’s just- she’s amazing for Tony to realise that the pit in his stomach was jealousy

It didn’t help that Carol genuinely was amazing, and Tony could definitely see himself liking her

In an alternate parallel universe where he wasn’t in love with Rhodey

but it wasn’t that universe and in this universe Tony was petty and bratty and honest-to-god hissed when Carol called Rhodey ‘James’ once and muttered he doesn’t like being called James before stalking off to sulk in private.

but since it was this universe, Rhodey followed him and stood patiently over Tony while Tony buried himself in a dark corner in the library and pretended like he wasn’t there

Tony lasted a full 4 hours which was extremely impressive if he said so himself before closing his book and sighing when Rhodey finally looked up from his book and waited for his explanation

non mi piace, Tony muttered, still silently fuming from when Rhodey had beamed at Carol

“i gathered that Tones, but I’m kind of unclear as to why”

“she’s-” Tony gesticulated wildly for lack of words, hoping that Rhodey understood

Because it was Rhodey he understood immediately

tony really ought to have more faith in him

Chuckling softly, he shifted closer to Tony until Tony was cocooned against his chest before whispering,

“you make a fair point, but she isn’t the one I love,” before pausing dramatically (because he was Rhodey), “you are”

Tony’s head whipped up so quickly he swore he’d gotten whiplash

he searched Rhodey’s face for any hint of- of, well anything that suggested he was lying

when he found nothing, he pushed himself up to catch Rhodey’s lip in a fierce kiss, moving back only to mutter that was so sappy i might vomit and then proceeding to make Rhodey forget everything but his name

After they’d stumbled back to their flat and Rhodey revealed that he’d been spending so much time with Carol because he couldn’t figure out how to tell Tony how he felt, Tony decided that maybe he could like Carol in this universe after all

Fin.
