Tony was so busy with various areas of his work; it became very important to have allocated time for the two of you to spend together. One of the ways you had allocated time together was a Thursday night movie. No matter what every Thursday evening, the two of you would have dinner and then either head out to the movie theatre or you would put on a film at home and hang out on the sofa. This week Tony had picked an action film that you had never heard of that he thought you might enjoy and popped in the DVD before the two of you curled up on the sofa to watch it.

It was a general action film. There wasn't a whole lot of a plot but a lot of fight scenes that made you wince every time someone got hurt. Luckily you had never ended up badly injured, but you could only imagine the pain the character would have been in if it were a real fight. The main protagonist was thrown through a window and landed on the pavement, flat on his back. You sucked in a sharp breath in a pained wince as you tried to hide in Tony's arm.

"Ouch! I bet that hurt," you said, your nose scrunching up in slight disgust.

Tony paused the film, practically pushing you from his arms. His jaw dropped into a look of annoyance and shock at your comment.

"But when that happened to me last month, you told me to get over it."

You had to offer a sheepish smile as it was fact. Tony had ended up in a fight and before he was able to get into his suit, he was thrown out of one of the windows and ended up splattered onto the floor. He complained a lot about the pain, and it was justified, it was surprising that he was pretty unscathed seen as he had no protection from his suit like he was used to.

"Well, you're not an action hero," you stated. "And you were just being a big baby and bitching about it for so long. The doctors said you were fine."

He playfully shoved your shoulder as though to tell you off.

"I have my own action figure. I would say I'm an action hero."

"Well, I would say that you're just a massive nerd who plays dress up."
