Don't hate me, guys, please. I sincerely apologize for taking such a long time to update this, even after making promises of 'soon'. It's been what? Almost two months since my last update, and trust me when I say, I feel really bad for not staying true to my claims. Hopefully, I'll have another chapter for you guys tomorrow in order to make up for that. And the fact that I'm relatively sure this chapter's shorter than the rest. I know, I know! I suck as an author, and a person, but I had good reasons for the delay. The last two months had been really busy for me, and this chapter is short because I ended it at a place I felt would be a good stop. Nevertheless, that does not mean more will not come. I'll keep my promises as best as I can this time around. Thank you everyone who reviewed, it means a lot, especially since they were all constructive. My love goes out to all of you guys who favorited and followed, you're amaze-balls.
Okay, here's the Disclaimer for everyone who didn't read my note before this.

Enjoy!
Tony was a horrible payer-attentioner of his surroundings. Okay, he doubted that was an actual term, but it worked in explaining his point. Not only was he bad at noticing things around him, or like he just said, paying attention to them, he was even worse when someone as adorably beautiful, and beautifully adorable as Dick Grayson was laughing- no- giggling, in front of him. Seriously, he would say it was sin to look that fucking amazing, but he doubted whatever God existed would consider anything a sin when it came to the divine being in front of Tony. But only because the big guy wouldn't want for the young man to not end up in Heaven spending eternity with him. Saintlike or nah. Okay, he was probably gonna go to Hell for that, but he was gonna go to Hell for a lot of things already anyway.
Back to his original point.
It was not Tony's fault that he failed to notice the host of the party coming their way. Richard was like the Sun. He had his own gravitational pull, one even stronger than Tony's, and his smile was just as dazzling. So forgive the multi-billionaire for being so completely blinded by the radiance of the creature before him, that he failed to notice the ugly-ass comet headed towards, what he supposed he symbolized in this metaphor, Earth. Because out of the big wide Universe (everyone else in the party with them), this specific comet had to choose his specific region of space, and unceremoniously ruin his basking in the sunlight by crashing its ignorant self on the surface of his world and killing everyone on it(all of his feelings of joy/accomplishment).
It was enough to make Tony seriously consider calling his suit to teach Hammer a lesson. If Justin found his collection of cars identical to Tony's own, he thought not coincidence it was (his unhealthy obsession with Star Wars was showing again), completely demolished beyond the point of recognition later, well- he was going to have an interesting time trying to get it to hold up in court that Tony was responsible. It was his own damn fault for interfering in Ironman's attempts at courtship.
Dick was being extremely patient with the man's actions, unlike Tony himself. Though, going by the twitch of an exquisite eye, if Hammer didn't get his disgusting lips off the back of his hand anytime within the next split second, that patience would not last long.
Luckily for Justin, he was not going to die that night. Probably.
"Well aren't you a pretty little thing."
Scratch that. He was definitely going to die tonight. Not only was Tony reaching the point of no return, the sickly sweet smile that Dick had pasted onto his face spoke of unspeakable acts against Justin he had no problem with committing.
"What do I call you, besides Angel?" Hammer tried to pull of a Flynn Rider smolder(yes Tony was a manly man and watched Disney princess movies), to which he, unsurprisingly, failed at.
The man seemingly incapable of taking a hint, had somehow managed to, with his bottomless pit of creep, ruin the term "Angel" when in reference to Dick, for everyone with ears. A fact that ticked Tony off to no end.
"How about 'not interested', Hammer." Richard peered at Tony from the corner of his eye, when the billionaire answered for him.
Justin fixed the 'genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist' with his version of a scathing glare. He didn't feel one bit of heat. Not even a tickle.
"Ha." The man faked a smile and a chuckle at Tony's comment, before attempting to wrap an arm around his neck.
Tony glared at the offending limb, threatening Hammer with cutting it off in one gaze. Evidently, he was smart enough to keep away, awkwardly lowering his arm back to his side.
"We're good friends, Tony and I. He saved my life once, ya know?"
The Avenger grimaced.
"A fact I'm not against rectifying." He bit out.
The two were interrupted by a laugh, the laugh as Tony had come to call it, coming from Dick's alluring mouth. The young man rested an arm on Tony's shoulder, he'd cut an imposing figure for a moment, and by the side glance he'd spared the billionaire, it seemed Richard didn't want any form of fight breaking out in front of him.
"Gentlemen, please. It's a party, not a brawl. I hardly think I'm worth starting a fight over."
How he could believe such an unspeakable idea, no one in the room had a clue.
Dick sent the other party goers apologetic looks, having noticed their observant eyes, and a placating smile to the two wealthy men in front of him. Despite the earlier almost-hostility Tony had sensed from the young man towards Hammer's actions, Richard now radiated an aura of hospitality and welcome at the ignorant-of-all-boundaries man looking at him.
"Angel will be fine, Mr. Hammer. After all, I didn't come here tonight for you and Mr. Stark to spend so much time disputing over a name. I came here to represent Wayne Industries, you have heard of us have you not?"
A/N: You'll have to forgive me for any mistakes made, I looked over it to make sure I didn't make any such errors, but I'm sure they still happened. I also wanted you guys to have this chapter as soon as possible since you waited this long. As always, please review, lifeblood of the author here. Those of you who write the awesome long ones, thank you. Once again, Gypsy asks for forgiveness for the lateness of this update, it's well overdue, but my schedule was packed and I just hoped none of you lost interest. I tried to make Tony seem more Tony this time around, since this chappie's mostly supposed to be his actual thoughts, but if he still seemed OC, sorry again. Also, the whole 'saved my live' thing that Hammer was talking about isn't me talking about a specific moment we may or may not have seen in the movies, it's just a something that happened for the sake of plot. I'm not referencing an actual scene that took place in the movies. Infinite thanks for sticking around, please review, I love all of you. 3 ~Gypsy
