Work Text:
You look over at the clock on the wall opposite of you and it reads 2am. For three hours you have been trying to successfully go to sleep without Tony by your side but it was posing as an impossible task. He had been working 12 hours a day in his lab and you were a little fed up with it. You missed him, you wanted to sleep beside him, but that had become impossible nowadays with him always being away. It felt like he was more worried about his machines than his woman. The weight of it hung heavy in your heart. You knew it was his passion and it was how he helped people, but great heavens you wanted him to take a break and be with you.
Deciding you would not stand for it any longer you rise from your spot on the bed and head downstairs to Tony’s lab. You peer into the glass windows looking around for him. He sits at one of his chairs hunched over and working on some sort of new technology. You smile softly at the thought, his passion was what made you fall in love with him in the first place. The door is cool beneath your fingertips as you grip the door handle. It hisses as you pull it open, your face scrunches so much for being quiet. Tony is startled and whips his head in your direction.
His shoulders slouch when he realizes it’s just you. It’s as if you bring a wave of relaxation and relief over Tony, and the thought makes you smile. “Hello my love.” You smile as you approach him.
He looks up at you from his seat, bags beneath his eyes, and obviously in desperate need of sleep. “What are you still doing up?” He asks, his arms snaking around your waist and pulling you closer.
“I could ask you the same thing Tony. I’m awake because you're not with me and I want you to be. So how about you come to bed?” You plead.
His eyes soften as he looks up at you. “Sweetie, I'm so sorry. I have neglected you in the worst way possible haven’t I?”
You nod your head and grasp the sides of his face. “Come to bed Tony please.”
He rises from his seat and pulls you into a hug. It was a sudden intrusion, but welcomed.
“I’m so sorry.” He tells you kissing the top of your head.
“It’s okay, you have plenty of time to make it up to me.” You smile.
