Christine || Tony

Christine rolled on the bed, turning to face Tony with a shrug. “I don’t know… you can leave it open.” She said sinking her head on the pillow, she wouldn’t say but her head was throbbing and she felt every single part of her body getting weaker. “You can go now, I’ll be fine.” Christine said quietly, forcing herself to flash Tony a smile, even if it was the smallest one.

Tony smiled, nodding. “Absolutely. You call if you need anything.” He turned to go, giving her a sight nod. He could see her fading even as he watched, and rest was what she needed right now. Stepping outside the room, he sighed softly. Christine had said she was fine…but if she was like many people—himself included—she was lying so he wouldn’t think her weak? Helpless? Whatever it was, it wasn’t necessary. If Christine was sick Tony wanted to know so he could help her. She was his friend, and friends helped friends.

Walking back into the living room, the billionaire picked up his tablet from the sidetable and unlocked it with a swipe and his code. “Jarvis, patch us into that meeting will you?” He called, flopping back on the couch. Pepper would have his head either way, the least he could do was at least video call in. Besides, he’d told Christine her feeling bad wouldn’t affect him or the meeting and although he wanted only to go down into the lab and work until nothing was left in his head but the numbers, he knew he couldn’t go back on his word.

“I will…” Christine replied softly, but loud enough so Tony could hear from outside the bedroom. She sank her head in the pillow, remaining like that for a few moments, facing the ceiling. Christine was weak, and she knew that, but for some unknown reason she wouldn’t tell Tony… she didn’t want to make him worried with her. She knew she wasn’t fine and that she may need help and all, but she was decided not to bother Tony with that all… Christine could feel her head throb, her body getting weaker, her temperature raising, she knew that she could call Tony or even JARVIS but she didn’t… she forced herself to sleep instead.

Christine fell asleep quickly but that didn’t last much longer, she suddenly woke up, her body shivering, her head throbbing more, her fever getting worse, but she wouldn’t call Tony… She got out of the bed and headed to the bathroom, decided to take a shower so she could lower her fever. She stepped into the bathroom and took a brief shower, and as she got out of it she put on the same clothes as before. Christine stepped out of the bedroom and decided to go all the way down to the kitchen to grab a mug of tea or something to eat, facing with Tony in the living room. “You’re here?” She asked quietly. “Thought you’d be in the lab…” Christine flashed him a soft smile before walking towards to the kitchen.

Christine rolled her eyes with a slight chuckle, rolling on the bed and staring the ceiling. “Okay, okay… I’ll be here.” She said, smiling, sounding a bit impatient. “But you can go do something else… really. I’ll be fine. You can go watch a movie or something else. Don’t worry about me, I’ll tell JARVIS if I need anything.” Christine said looking at Tony, her voice wavering slightly.

Tony smiled, nodding as he stepped back a bit. “You’d better.” he said, and despite his light tone he was very serious about it. He gave her another smile before turning to go. “Do you want the door open or shut?” he asked, turning back to look at her.

Christine rolled on the bed, turning to face Tony with a shrug. “I don’t know… you can leave it open.” She said sinking her head on the pillow, she wouldn’t say but her head was throbbing and she felt every single part of her body getting weaker. “You can go now, I’ll be fine.” Christine said quietly, forcing herself to flash Tony a smile, even if it was the smallest one.

Tony shrugged, leaning against the doorframe. “Nah, probably not. I’ll have to have Jarvis patch me into the meeting if Pepper calls, so I’d be best staying up here.” He smiled slightly, straightening. “Besides, I’d like to be nearer so I can help if you need anything.”

Christine rolled on the bed, glancing at Tony with a thankful smile. “Why, thank you, Tony. I feel a bit better knowing that you’ll be around if I need something. But I don’t think I’ll need anything, I’m not that bad.” She said trying to keep her voice stable, but it was getting weak.

Tony returned the smile, nodding. “No problem. This way I won’t get distracted by stuff in the lab too.” Not missing her slight sway, he snapped his fingers, pointing at her. “You, bed, now. Go on, shoo.” Despite his slightly dismissive words, Tony was a bit worried about her.

Christine rolled her eyes with a slight chuckle, rolling on the bed and staring the ceiling. “Okay, okay… I’ll be here.” She said, smiling, sounding a bit impatient. “But you can go do something else… really. I’ll be fine. You can go watch a movie or something else. Don’t worry about me, I’ll tell JARVIS if I need anything.” Christine said looking at Tony, her voice wavering slightly.

Christine nodded, stepping into the room and laying down on bed. “Okay… I’ll let Jarvis know if I need something, thanks.” She said with a slight smile. “And by ‘outside’, you mean at the lab?” She asked frowning a bit.

Tony shrugged, leaning against the doorframe. “Nah, probably not. I’ll have to have Jarvis patch me into the meeting if Pepper calls, so I’d be best staying up here.” He smiled slightly, straightening. “Besides, I’d like to be nearer so I can help if you need anything.”

Tony shrugged, smiling at her. “Hey, I’ve had to been cared for a lot like that, it’s no trouble.” He took the elevator back to his level where he gestured towards the bedroom. “After you,”

She smiled slightly at him with a slight nod as she stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the bedroom. “Well, if you think this won’t be a problem… it’s okay.” She turned her head around to flash a smile at Tony.

“It won’t be a problem at all.” Tony assured her, returning the smile. He followed her to the bedroom, staying in the doorway. “Just tell Jarvis if you need anything, I’ll be right outside.”

Christine nodded, stepping into the room and laying down on bed. “Okay… I’ll let Jarvis know if I need something, thanks.” She said with a slight smile. “And by ‘outside’, you mean at the lab?” She asked frowning a bit.

“But…” She thought about hesitating but she was growing weaker and gave up, following him through the corridors. “Tony, you can go to the meeting… if you want me to stay here and rest, fine. I’ll stay and you can go. I’ll be fine.”  She said in a secure intonation, fake, but she made it seem real. She didn’t want Tony to miss his meeting, though she knew her protests wouldn’t make him change his mind, she tried.

“Hey,” Tony replied, shrugging. “I don’t want to go anyway. It’s just sitting around while listening to a bunch of stuffed shirts waffling on about how they think we should still be making weapons. Pepper can handle it, and if she needs my help I can video call in. It’ll be fine.” He smiled at her, walking into the elevator.

She chuckled with a shrug. “Well, if you don’t wanna go to the meeting and prefer to stay here with a sick woman instead… it’s okay.” She joked, following him into the elevator. “But I must warn you… this can be pretty annoying. It’s like taking care of a child… but it’s even more annoying, ‘cause when you’re an adult, things are more complicated.” She giggled.

Tony shrugged, smiling at her. “Hey, I’ve had to been cared for a lot like that, it’s no trouble.” He took the elevator back to his level where he gestured towards the bedroom. “After you,”

She smiled slightly at him with a slight nod as she stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the bedroom. “Well, if you think this won’t be a problem… it’s okay.” She turned her head around to flash a smile at Tony.
