His eyes were raw from the tears now and his throat hurt as well. Though he had stopped crying, Tony didn't move from his position behind his door. Nor did he move when Jarvis said, "Would you mind talking to me sir?" However, he did reply with a none to kind 'go away.'
"Sir if you'd just—"
"I said go away!"
"Sir—"
"Shut up!"
"Sir if you just—"
"Shut—"
"Will you stop acting like a child and simply listen to me for once!"
Tony froze as if someone had just proven that fish flew instead of swum. Though Jarvis technically hadn't shouted, he had raised his voice to a much higher than normal volume, something he had never done before. Tony sat dumbstruck for a moment, surprised at how human that had sounded, until he was finally able to say, "Jarvis, did you just yell at me?"
"Yes, and I'll do it again if it means getting your attention," snapped Jarvis with obvious annoyance in his voice which also surprised Tony as well. "Something is wrong and normally I'd stay out of it but whatever this is it's affecting you more than you realize. So, either spit it out or at the very least get your act together."
"I knew there was a reason why I built you," muttered Tony as he rubbed his eyes. Jarvis was right, of course, but, despite the fact that he knew he could trust Jarvis, he doubted he could tell him what was wrong. Just saying it out loud was like admitting to himself that it was real. Instead, he said, "How is everyone else?"
"They're all very confused at what happened and concerned about whether or not you are all right." Including myself, thought Jarvis though he excluded that. "It would be lying to say that they weren't hurt by your outburst but I do believe they know you didn't mean it. You didn't mean it, correct sir?"
"No of course not but how can I even show my face to them now?" asked Tony.
"Simply unlock your door and—"
"I know I can actually go out there right now Jarvis but I can't just say sorry to them. You yourself said to me once that actions speak louder than words," replied Tony as he wondered what he could do to make it up to everyone.
"I did sir. What do you have in mind?" asked Jarvis who was curious but also slightly worried about how over the top Tony would more than likely try to go.
Tony remained silent for a while. For a moment, his head was completely blank and then almost as if a switch had been turned on, ideas started flooding in faster than he could remember all of them. "Ooh, I got it! Or maybe I could that instead. That might work or maybe that one . . ." Tony started rambling on.
Oh dear me, thought Jarvis. If he had a body right now he would have done an immediate face palm.
AN: I'm sorry this was so short but I thought it ending right here sounded better than continuing it. Next up you'll get to find out some of the ideas that Tony came up with. I have most of his ideas already planned out in my head but if you'd like to give a suggestion that would be great. Thanks again for the reviews. Until next time!
