        ‘For all the gods’ sake why I had to bump into Tony?’

        “______(f/n)?!” Tony asked, shock and disbelief hearable in his voice.

        “No, Easter Bunny,” you answered sarcastically. “Of course it’s me. Who else did you expect in this elevator?”

        “But you are wearing a dress,” he pointed, his eyes locked on your figure.

        “So what? Why can’t I wear a dress?” You were surprised by his words.

        Well yes, it was the first time he saw you in a that kind of outfit. Until now you always wore jeans, loose t-shirts and hoodies. Your long (h/c) hair were all the time haphazardly tied up. And that evening you put on deep red strapless dress that ended about three inches above your knees, exposing your legs. Soft silk fabric fayed tightly to your breasts, waist and upper part of hips. Then it widened, floating down smoothly. Your hair were neatly brushed and not tied, falling on your shoulder in soft waves. There were only two things that were destroying the image of Cinderella going on her prime date. The first one was a black backpack you were holding in your left hand. The second thing were your shoes. You were wearing red ankle-length sneakers. Just like those which David Tennant wore while playing Doctor Who, which was one of your favorite tv series by the way.

        “It’s… strange,” he said, and pushed buttons to your floors. “And even stranger, considering the fact I didn’t know that you’re so hot,” he added, checking you out so intensively that you made a step forward and slapped him in the back of his head.

        “Ouch! What’s that for?” he asked, hissing in pain.

        “For your dirty thoughts, Tony,” you answered, looking up to see how much longer you had to stay in the elevator with Stark staring at you and practically drooling at the same time.

        You were best friends since you had joined the Avengers and since he had gotten to know how much you were into computers and modern technology. It was only a matter of time for both of you to establish friendship. But even after that you weren’t willing to share any details from your personal life. It was driving Tony crazy and he made finding information about you his personal game. He was kind of obsessed with that and you had many arguments about a personal space and spying on you.

        He looked at you with those chocolate brown sad puppy eyes. You knew that trick too well.

        “I’m you friend, Tony, not one of your girlfriends, remember?”

        You wanted add something more but you suddenly heard a huge thud. The elevator abruptly stopped, its steel walls slightly vibrating, and you almost fell to the floor but Tony managed to catch you before you hit the ground. As soon as you regain your balance, you stepped away from him. Emergency light went on, flooding the elevator with red glow.

        “JARVIS?” he asked.

        “Yes, sir?” computer voice with distinguish British accent answered.

        “What the hell happened?” Tony’s voice was full of irritation.

        And then you noticed that he’s wearing one of his date suits with dark red dress shirt and his hair are brushed.

        “I don’t know, sir. All the syste-“ JARVIS voice was cut off.

        “JARVIS?” Tony asked lauder than usual but the only thing that responded to him was a dead silence.

        “You gotta be kiddin’ me,” you said, unlocking your phone and trying to call one of your acquaintances to get you out of the elevator. “No signal. Just freakin’ peachy!”

        You slid down the wall until you sat on the floor, looking at Tony who was trying to call someone with his fancy homemade phone. But he didn’t have any luck. Even his device couldn’t get reception. Then he tried to reach a hatch in the elevator’s ceiling. You watched him not willing to interrupt since you thought that the view of him jumping is amusing.

        “Where were you going in this fancy dress?” he asked out of the blue, glancing at you.

        “I have a date,” you answered. “Or rather I should say that I had a date. I guess that you had one too, judging by the choose of your outfit,” you added.

        “A date?” He raised a brow, completely ignoring your remark about his clothes. He stood still, watching at you with rather shocked expression visible on his face. The second time in less than ten minutes.

        Actually it was the first time you were going on a date for a very long time.  You chose to ignore his question, considering it to be rhetorical one.

        “You barely leave the Tower so how did you meet this guy?”

        “Can you just stop asking me questions, Tony?” you said, looking at him with flash of anger in your eyes. “We’ve been on this subject a million times before. Personal space. We’re friends but that doesn’t mean that you have to know every detail of my life. I’m not asking questions about your girlfriends,” you snapped.

        “Hey, _____(f/n). Just don’t bite, ok?”

        “You’re not even tasty,” you muttered, fiddling with your phone as if you could get the reception somehow.

        “How can you know that?” he asked, smiling playfully. “You’ve never tasted me before.”

        You face-palmed and couldn’t stop but laughing at his remark.

        “You are unbelievable, Tony.”

        “I know.” He grinned and extended hand towards you. “Come on. It’s time to get out of here.”

        You took his hand and allow him to pull you up on your feet. You glanced at him, then at the hatch.

        “That’s crazy,” you said. “We’re above the fortieth floor!”

        “We just need to reach the nearest door and open it. Walk in the park,” he sad, smiling at his idea.

        “Rather highway to hell,” you muttered, making a reference to one of AC/DC songs.

        “Better than being thunderstruck.”

        “Are we gonna enlist every one of their tracks?” you asked, looking at his wide smile.

        “Challenge accepted,” he said. “I’ll lift you and you will open the hatch.”

        “No peeking!” you managed to warn him before he put his hands on your hips and lifted you.

        At first you tried to push the hatch but nothing happened. Then you noticed a small handle that secured it from accidental opening. But even if you removed it, nothing happened and you weren’t able to open the hatch. It was like someone sealed it from the outside.

        “Can’t open it.”

        “Purple,” you heard Tony’s voice at the same time.

        You slapped him in the back of his head when he was putting you down on the floor.

        “What did I say?!” you snapped when you could face him.

        “It was just an accident,” he said with a grin on his lips and innocent gaze of his warm brown eyes.

        “Do it again and I will change all of your access codes and passwords.”

        “You won’t do that.”

        “Try me,” you said playfully and smiled at his confusion.

        You sat down on the floor, making sure that your dress covered as much of your legs as it was possible. Tony sat next to you. You opened your mouth to break the silence but he was faster.

        “So who is he?”

        “If I refuse to answer, you won’t stop asking, am I right?”

        “Yes.”

        “I’ve met him online. We chatted a lot for the last couple of weeks and we finally decided that there’s some chemistry going between us so we should meet in person. And now our first date is ruined and I can’t even send him an email,” you said, your head lightly hitting the wall behind you.

        “Are you aware that he can be a psycho?” he asked, looking at you with concern.

        “I can defend myself,” you said. “You can ask Tash about that. She’s a great teacher. And what’s your story?” you asked, changing the subject slightly. “Who’s this poor girl you will stand up tonight?

        “She wrote me an email and she seemed nice so I asked her out,” he said without revealing any further details.

        “You’re such a hypocrite!” you exclaimed. “You’re telling me that people met online can be dangerous and you did exactly the same thing. And if you are going to say that’s because you’re a man or worse the Iron Man, I’m so gonna slap you again.”

        “Who could tell that you’re so feisty, sweetie pie.”

        You elbowed him but not too hard. You like when he was calling you like that. You’ve never heard that he addressed by this pet name any other woman. He called them by sweet cheeks for most of the time. Sometimes it was babe or muffin or honeybun. You were surprised that those women weren’t mad at him for using that kind of pet names.

        “I’m more feisty than you can imagine,” you said teasingly.

        It might look like you were inviting him to cross the line of your friendship, reaching for something more. Actually you would enjoy that. There was nobody who knew that you developed some strong feelings for Tony Stark, that you fell for him since the first day you had spent with him. He was brilliant and funny and he seemed to understand you. At first it was only a slight crush on the mighty Iron Man, but with time your affection for him went much deeper. You made yourself not to cross the line of friendship with him and you stuck your true feels deep into your heart. It hurt to see him with other women although you had never shown that to him or to anybody else.

        There was a very good reason why you tried to find a boyfriend through the online dating site. You simply knew that you couldn’t compete with all those beautiful women whose Tony dated. He friend-zoned you and you accepted that. However, you recently decided that you had to move on and find someone else to love no matter how painful it could be. So you made an account and waited for some offers from the male users. But you weren’t careless and you put your middle name instead of the first one and you made separate email account. You knew that there were a lot of dangerous people on the Internet and you preferred to be overprotective when it came to your identity or your home address. Besides that, saying anyone that you lived in the Stark Tower and you were friends with the Avengers would do nothing good.

        “Prove it,” he challenged you.

        “I don’t need to prove anything, Anthony,” you said using his full first name, which he didn’t like at all.

        He frowned, giving you “don’t-you-dare-saying-it-again” look. You just laughed out loud. Tony didn’t say a word, taking out his fancy transparent phone and checking something. A soft sound made you really suspicious. You leaned towards him and glanced at the screen. Your eyes widened for a second just before you snatched the piece of plastic from his hands.

        “Why didn’t you tell me that you can send emails?!” You were mad at him.

        “You didn’t ask,” Tony replied with innocent smile on his lips.

        Your free palm clenched into fist. If he wasn’t your best friend and a man you loved, you would strangle him with your bare hands.

        “I’m sure you don’t mind if I send an email from your account,” you spoke not bothering to really ask him for his permission.

        He was using your stuff instantly without asking so you didn’t feel bad for using his phone. You opened email app and your eyes widened, shock written all over your face. You found yourself so hard to breathe as if you were underwater.

        It can’t be. It’s impossible. Did he know? And if he did why wouldn’t tell me. No, he couldn’t. I’m not in his type.

        The phone fell out of your fingers and landed on your lap. Tony was looking at you dumbfounded. Then he took his phone back and frowned when he saw what you were looking at before you started to behave weird. He glanced at you when you took a deep breath.

        “You’re Eddie, right?” you asked him, almost whispering. Then you recited all the information you found in Eddie’s profile on the dating site and those which he provided you himself.

        You were staring at your feet so you didn’t notice a short flash of shock on Tony’s face.

        “_-____(m/n)?” he stuttered.

        “Yeah, that’s me,” you answered, sighing again.

        You had never felt so embarrassed in your entire life. You put some trust in Eddie and he knew some things which you had never shared with Tony or any other member of the Avengers. And now you knew that you were telling everything to Stark. He knew that you were in love with somebody who was near to you but you were aware that your feelings wouldn’t be returned so you were trying to put yourself into relationship with another man.

        The silence had never been so loud. You were looking at your hands, fingers playing with the hem of your dress. You were about to apologize when you saw his hand reaching towards yours, entwining your fingers. You looked at Tony completely taken by surprise. He gave you a small smile and before you could smile back he leaned towards you to lay a kiss on your lips.
