First one was too cute not to emulate. /_\ Let me know if this is okay!

[Tony doesn't know the exact time and date that he accepted the fact that his life was weird, and not only did other people get caught in its radius just by associating with him, it attracted other weird people.

So maybe it didn't surprise him that much that he ran into an actual (albeit non-Dracula/purple-skinned-counting) vampire. Maybe Elena felt a billionaire in a tin can was nothing compared to werewolves and chupacabras and whatever else she dealt with back home. Feelings were still unexpected, and from an objective point of view, very bizarre.

They started out trying to navigate their way through shards: jagged points of logic, failed relationships, and paranoia. And all those things are still there, somewhere. But he's coming back from the bathroom with a glass of water, and she's in one of his hoodies.

And if that's not the precursor to so many bad decisions.

One side of his mouth quirks up.] Nice shirt.

totally okay! i kind of took an idea i had and ran with it, let ME know if it's okay!

[ compared to elena's life in mystic falls, knowing tony stark isn't that weird. sure, he flies around in a gold-titanium alloy suit with a gang of similarly weird friends, but hey -- at least he himself is pretty normal. a bit of an alcoholic, maybe, but honestly, at this point elena would take that banal of a flaw over the flaws of the other romantic prospects in her life.

which, right -- probably the weirdest thing about tony, objectively, is that he's into her. not that elena is complaining, far from it, but it's... it's weird, that someone so much older than her would be willing to overlook her youth, and that someone so human would be willing to see past her vampirism -- though maybe it shouldn't surprise her so much, considering her relationship with stefan. it still feels a little too good to be true, in some ways, like... holy shit, her boyfriend is a superhero. this is not the life she ever thought she'd live, but she can't deny that it's fucking awesome.

one thing that's not awesome? when he leaves on superhero business and elena is left behind. she hates it, so much so that she's started seriously considering petitioning steve to let her on the team -- natasha could totally use another girl to hang out with, and the more the merrier, right? right. but she hasn't quite made up her mind about it yet, hasn't decided if she wants to put herself back into a position where she's in mortal danger every other week, so while tony is gone, she does what any normal girlfriend would do in her position: she raids his closet for clothes that smell like him and wears them almost exclusively. (okay, maybe that's not normal, but it's how elena copes and she won't make any apologies for it.)

tonight, she's wearing a hoodie of his, curled up in their bed and sleeping fitfully, as she always does when he's gone and she can't be there to watch over him. when she hears noise come from the bathroom, it startles elena awake, and she immediately reaches out to turn on the bedside lamp. for a moment, she just sits there, tense, and then tony comes into the room and her eyes go wide. after that it barely takes half a second for her to jump off the bed and run to throw her arms around his shoulders. screw his drink, she has hugs to give. ]

[The age gap. It was definitely wide enough to fit a lot of media scandal and bullshit accusations on both their halves. Little did either of them know when they first went out together that she was after his fame and money and he was rebounding after Pepper. Tony reasoned a long time ago that Elena could vote, buy alcohol, and in a lot of ways was more emotionally mature than he was, so whatever. It's not like he found her while hanging outside a high school with a porn mustache and bell bottoms.

Though that Matthew McConaughey quote takes on a very literal spin when dating a vampire. He's getting older, and physically, she's still the same age. But he wasn't going to open that box until this either seems like it's going to be long-term-future-serious, or he turns fifty. Whichever happens first.

Speaking of which, aside from drinking blood, compelling people, and retractable fangs, another vampire ability that Elena had was she was roadrunner fast. He sees that she's off the bed and it doesn't even feel like a couple seconds before she's wrapping her arms around him, and he has to do some maneuvering to hug back as tight as possible while also not spilling water on her. It almost seems like a good idea to just drop it, because filling a metal suit doesn't feel half as good as a cuddly girlfriend.]

Follow my lead. [He tells her while starting to walk backwards, wanting to go back into the bathroom, and just abandon it there.]
