I AM TAKING ONE-SHOT RAY X TONY REQUESTS. IF YOU WANT ME TO WRITE SOMETHING SPECIFIC ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS DROP A COMMENT TELLING ME ABOUT THE BACKSTORY OR WHAT YOU WANT TO BE IN THE ONE-SHOT. DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT!

It was around 9 at night and Ray hadn't returned. New York hadn't seen sleet precipitation for decades now but here they were enjoying the cold weather and watching it rain and snow together when the younger Stark chose to go out without a car! The rain water was icy cold and not to mention the snow made it even worse. Tony knew it was going to be late until she returns. The weather wasn't good after all. He couldn't even connect to her phone or he would have gone to pick her up from wherever she had gone.

9:30 p.m.

Tony was reading some of old Howard Stark's file but he couldn't concentrate. "JARVIS, could you connect to Ray?"

"I'm sorry sir. The servers of New York are still down due to the bad weather condition." the AI informed. Tony sighed.

9:50 p.m.

Ray walked into the Stark Tower and as soon as the elevator dinges Tony looked up from his files at his younger sister who was completely drenched in rain water and her hair stuck to her face. She was holding her t-shirt to avoid it from sticking on her body. She would have been transparent otherwise.

Tony wasn't angry for coming late like other times. He knew it was the weather's fault. But he wondered why she had chosen to go out without her car and even the regular jacket she wore. She had just walked in cursing about weather when Tony chose to speak up. "Gone out swimming, kiddo?" he had a smirk plastered on his face. "Not a good outfit to go out in for swimming though!"

Ray rolled her eyes. She was feeling cold and was in no mood to entertain his nonsense. "Oh shut *sneeze* *sneeze* up! *sneeze*"

Tony laughed. He walked up to her to touch her hand only to realise they were icy cold. He didn't expect otherwise though. "Alright, lets get you warm." he said walking her to her room into her bathroom. He turned the warm water tap on letting the bathtub while Ray just sat there hugging herself. "A warm water bath will help you." he said as she gave him a 'thank-you' nod. He patted her on her head (considering she was sitting on the floor) before walking out, taking out separate warm clothes for her and getting back to his work.

Ray did as she was told. She soaked herself into the bathtub while resting her head at the back and stayed there for long enough until she felt her fingures swelling up. "Damn, I should get out now." she mumbled to herself before getting out. The mentally acknowledged her brother for taking out her clothes for her because she felt really weak to do that herself. As soon as she was dressed, she threw herself in her bed.

11:00 a.m.

Tony walked into her room to check on her only to realize that she had fallen asleep with her hair wet. He rolled his eyes. Wasn't she old enough to know that sleeping in wet hair could get her a cold? "Ray, why didn't you dry your hair? You'll catch a cold!" he said shaking her up.

"Tony, for god's sake, please let me sleep. I fell tired!" she grumbled but Tony pulled her up anyways.

"Kid, its just going to take two minutes. Just sit up straight." he said holding her up to stop her from falling back on her bed. He realized she was still quite cold

Ray relaxed as she felt the warm wind of the hair drier fall on her head. "See, better isn't it?" Tony asked as she nodded.

Tony dried her long hair and braided it for her as she sat there with her eyes still closed. She felt thankful that her older brother knew how to braid hair (considering the fact that she didn't know how.)

She fell back on her bed as soon as soon as Tony left her and Tony helped her with the blanket making sure her feet were in. He had to get her warm before she catches a fever.

"Do you need something?" he asked.

"Can you switch the AC off?" she almost whispered.

"AC?" Tony asked. It was quite a cold weather that day and the AC wasn't on. "Ray, the AC isn't on." he informed.

"Ooh" she said. "Can you switch the hearer on then?" she asked. That wasn't a good sign

Tony sighed switching the bed heaters on. The bed heaters were Ray's innovation. In a cold winter night Ray liked to sleep in a cold room while the bed was warm and cozy. Hense, she attached the heaters to the bed letting the mattress and blanket warm. It was a pretty simple thing to make, but Tony had loved it. It made cuddling with Pepper more comfy.

Tony got up besides her on her bed, sitting with his back against the bed stand. "You okay?" he asked.

"Hmm..." she said though she felt a headache grow.

1:30 a.m.

Ray didn't know what she had done to deserve this. Only a few minutes back she had woken up with a fever and a headache. She had a painful as fuck throat and she was feeling cold. She had caught a flu.

But that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was she had her brother as a self assigned nurse to nurse her!

She had taken a paracetamol and had only started feeling comfy when she felt Tony fluff her pillow again. "Tony, I swear, if you don't stop doing that every minute, I won't hesitate to smack you on your face!"

"I was just making sure you were comfortable!" he defended himself.

"My eyes were closed. I was almost asleep. I was comfortable!" she said turning her back towards him.

"Alright, sorry! I won't do that again!" he said as Ray nodded. But again she was woken up by someone pressing his hand on her head and cheek. Tony was checking her temperature. She opened her eyes to glare at him with a fliy struck pale face, the glare was weak! Tony only laughed at her expression. "Tony, will you let me sleep?"

"I was just checking!" he defended himself again.

"You can just let JARVIS do that!" she said sounding angry. "Can you go out? I'll call you if I need you."

Tony was taken aback.

"Oh come on! I can't sleep with you staring at me every moment!" she said.

It was Tony's turn to glare. He was just trying to help!

Ray sighed and replied in a softer tone this time. "I know you're just worried, okay? But pleeeeease!" she insisted.

"Okay." Tony said getting up. "But you will call me if you need me, okay?"

"Without any failure!" she assured as Tony walked out.

2:30 a.m.

Ray was aleep. The paracetamol had worked. But that wasn't for long. She felt someone stroking her cheeks and shaking her lightly. "Ray? Kiddo?"

She opened her eyes again to be greeted by her brother again.

"Time for your medicine." he said.

"Tony, for God's sake. It's late and you need some sleep too!" she said turning her back towards him refusing to sit up.

"I can't sleep unless you take this syrup!" he insisted.

Ray made a face and dug her face in her pillow but Tony being the stronger amongst the siblings pushed her up in a sitting position as she cried like a 5 year old. "Shut up, Ray!" Tony said pouring the syrup in the measuring cup and liftsed it towards her. She stretched her hand to take the cup from him but he pulled it away. He insisted on pouring it in her mouth. She grumbled again. She didn't like being treated as a baby but she knew she won't be able to lie back down if she didn't take the pill so she obeyed. Tony on his part loved babying Ray. He laughed at the expression she made when he poured they syrup. "Blech, that thing's nasty!"

"And its going to make you feel better." Tony added.

"Yeah, yeah, can I please go back to sleep?"

"Sure thing, kiddo." he said sitting back on her bed. Luckily, this time she didn't complain but rather cuddled closer to his lap and he placed his hand on her head ruffling her hair.

He expected her to fall asleep.

She didn't.

After a few minutes of watching her tossing and turning on her bed, Tony finally spoke up.

"What's wrong, kiddo?"

"I can't sleep."

"Not comfortable?"

"Headache." she replied in short.

Tony sighed pulling her towards him before running his fingers through her hair. "Are you not going to sleep?" this time she looked concerned. It was really late and she knew that her brother had been awake working in his lab for more than 48 hours.

"After you." he said.

3:15 a.m.

Ray woke up again feeling someone dab a cold damp cold on her head. She didn't have to open her eyes to know who it was. She flinched again with the sensation of the cold cloth. "Before you start complaining again, let me tell you, you have a 103 degree Fahrenheit fever." he said.

"Explains why I'm feeling nauseous." she mumbled. She sounded weak.

"Yeah, I'll get you a pill." he said placing the cloth back on her forehead.

4:00 a.m

Ray woke up again feeling the damn cloth on her forehead.

Then it was gone.

It was back again.

"You up, kid?"

"Oh god! Is this something I ate?" she grumbled.

Tony laughed softly. "Its just a headache. You just got rid of the fever."

Ray didn't remember that but she nodded.

"103.5. That was a tough one to get rid off!" he added.

"So no icy water bath?" she joked. She was feeling better than before though, except the headache.

"Trust me, if your fever rose a degree higher, I would have given you one." he said smiling. He looked tired. Ray turned towards the clock. '4:10' it read. She sighed. She didn't want to keep him up all night by her. She felt bad.

"I hate icy water baths." she informed. Eben the feeling of something cold made her feel as if her fever would rise again! Damn, she would never go out of the house without the car or her jacket again!

Tony laughed softly. "Don't worry kiddo. If you promise me to take your pills in time and rest now, I'll make sure to set you up a comfy bubble bath."

For the first time since she returned, Ray smiled. That was an offer she couldn't reject. "That's a deal!" she said smiling wider.

"Deal it is!" Tony smiled back as Ray shut her eyes back again. With the amount of pills she had taken in the past few hours, it didn't take her long to fall asleep.

5:00 a.m.

It was bad when suddenly felt her stomach crumble in her sleep. It took her some time to realize what was happening and when she did, she jerked off her bed and rushed into the washroom.

Tony who had only fallen asleep on her bedside got up too and followed her there only to find her throwing up in the toilet. He quickly approached her and rubbed her back. "Its okay."

"Go" she said pushing him back but she threw up again."Give me some space!"

"Com' on! You threw up on me the first time I took you in my lap!" he said removing the stray locks falling on her face.

"First time?" she flinched as she rested her head on the cold toilet seat.

"Okay, not the first time but you have done that." he said rubbing her back. That did feel better. "Okay, lets get you back to bed." he said trying to get her back on her feet.

"I can't get up." she complained.

"Oh don't expect me to pick you up. You're way past that age!" he said pulling her up and taking her to the bed.

"Fuck. I don't feel good." she said falling on him.

He lightly rubbed her back. "Don't worry. I'll be here till you feel better." she nodded before lying back down and Tony sat back on the chair he had pulled from her desk.

"Tone?" she called.

"Hmm?"

"Go get some sleep. You need some rest too." she said.

"Don't worry about me, kiddo. 'm fine." he placed a peck on her cheek.

"Stop babying me!" she said.

Tony laughed at her. "Sometimes it's good to be babyed." he said.

Ray wanted to argue but she was feeling very sick. She mumbled something incoherent and watched him fix her blanket by her legs before slowly drifting off to sleep.

8:00 a.m.

Ray woke up again. Her headache was gone and she was feeling better. She turned around to find that Tony had fallen asleep on her bedside, his face inches apart from her's. He snored softly blowing air on her face. She flinched. Damn, that was a really bad posture to fall asleep in. She didn't want him to complain about a neck ache when he wakes up. She got up to shake him up and touched his shoulder when she felt a temperature higher than normal. She sighed loudly. Her bubble bath had to wait. Looked like she had to be the one playing 'nurse' at the moment.

Did I ever tell you all that I'm nocturnal? Well, if I didn't, you know it now! It's 5o' clock in the morning right now here when I finished writing this and I started writing this at about 3. That's the time when all my imaginations starts kicking off. I actually came up with two ideas for one-shots. This is one of them. Please leave a review and heart!
