Caught Red Handed: Write about someone getting caught doing something they shouldn't
Glasses: Write about someone wearing glasses
A month later and Tony and Elena's relationship was still very much a secret. They had progressed into sleeping with one another most nights and Tony trusted her explicitly because he knew it was returned. They'd finally caught the insect maker and Elena was very happy for once on her life.
He'd run down to the lab with Bruce an hour ago and she'd gone to get dressed and shower in her own room. She was now getting dressed in her room and getting lost in thoughts about last night. Last night he'd told her he loved her and she'd found herself returning the sentiment. Of course what followed was very satisfying as well, so that probably had something to do with her getting lost in thought.
She stood in front of her closet and pulled on a pair of faded blue skinny jeans, a red flowing tank top with a white and black patterned pocket over the right breast, a pair of white low cut converse, and her hair went into a ponytail. She went searching for her favorite cover up, a grey knitted one that had an open front and long sleeves, but couldn't find it anywhere. Eventually she remembered leaving it up in Tony's room so she decided to go get it.
It was the first time she was in these rooms alone and she decided to do a little bit of snooping while she was looking for her sweater. Going through his stuff was a little strange since he had so much of it. She decided to at least appear to be searching for her sweater and went into the giant closet to continue her snooping. She found that it was mostly empty and only the front half was filled. She began to go though the drawers and pockets from his suits. What really drew her in was the massive sunglass collection he kept. She went to the tray that sat on top on the table in the center of the room. It held watches, sunglasses, a few rings, and wallets. She picked up a few watches and rings but put on a pair of sunglasses. She took them off instantly, they hurt her eyes.
"What in the?" She tried on a few more pairs and found the same results. She went to pick up the last pair but they were glued to the tray and they opened a secret compartment in the side of the table. Out came a thin tray that held a single pair of glasses, prescription glasses. She picked them up and then heard someone enter the room.
"Elena? What are you doing in here?" Tony seemed surprised and a little nervous.
"I was trying to find my sweater, then I saw the sunglasses and decided to snoop, I realized they were all prescription. Tony, does anyone actually know that you wear glasses? Or at least that you should?"
"Yes..."
"Other than me?"
"No..."
"How do you manage that?"
"Contact lenses and my iron man suits are equipped to be like a giant pairs of glasses. I have hidden contact lenses in most of the bathrooms near the lab or common areas. Please promise you won't tell anyone!"
"You are ridiculous and vain."
"Please?"
"On two conditions... wait, make that three."
"Okay..."
"I want my sweater back from wherever you've hidden it." He went to the back half of the closet and got the sweater in question from a hanger near the wall that separated the two halves.
"You know if you ever leave anything here it will be in the back half of the closet, and you are allowed to leave stuff here if you want... so you don't need to sneak into your room every morning with yesterdays clothing on."
"We shall talk about that comment later. Second condition, I want Thai food, it's your choice for dinner tonight, chose Thai."
"But I don't like Thai."
"You also don't want anyone to know your dirty little secret."
"Fine,"
"Finally, I want to see you wear your glasses on our next date."
"Why?"
"Because I think glasses are sexy."
"I can't have sex in glasses."
"Then you can put contacts in before the end of the night."
"Your logic is flawed."
"No it's not, it's perfect."
"Flawed."
"Is this why you wear sunglasses inside?"
"It is now; my eyes got damaged during my torture, that's when I started need glasses and why the first suit sucked supremely."
"Oh... sorry."
"No problem-o, speaking of our next date, how does a movie tonight sound?"
"I would love to but I promised Wanda and Natasha a girl's night. How about tomorrow?"
"I don't like sharing my things." He whispered as he tugged her to his chest
"Oh, I'm yours now am I?"
"Don't get all pissy, I'm all for equal rights, I'm yours as well."
"You are very possessive."
"Are you complaining?"
"Nope."
"Good."
"Sir, may I remind you of your reason for coming up to your room and that Dr. Banner is waiting for you in the lab?" JARVIS interrupted
"Stupid AI's and stupid rage monsters."
"Why did you come up here?"
"Bruce wants to use Palladium for an experiment. I keep my stash in here."
"Why and where?"
"I keep it in a secret compartment and because I don't want it in my lab."
"You keep your poisonous element in your closet in a secret compartment because you don't want it in your lab?"
"Yes."
"You're an idiot. I love you." She kissed his nose and left the room after shoving his glasses onto his face "Your eyesight sucks!" She called over her shoulder.
"Love you too." He mumbled before getting the old element that had kept him alive as he died.
