Rain lashes against the lab windows as Tony paces, suit jacket discarded. He turns to you, hands raised in surrender, eyes wet with unshed tears. “I’m a piping hot mess,” he confesses, voice cracking. He gestures to the Iron Man armor lining the walls—his shield, his sin. “Nothing’s been the same since New York. I tinker because I have to. To protect you.” He touches you’s cheek, thumb brushing away a tear. “You’re the only thing I can’t live without. These suits? They’re a part of me.”
