You arrived home after a particularly stressful week. It was your last week of you first year in college, which meant there was nothing but exams. Although those were the easy part of your week. The stress came when your dad was doing Avengers things. It wasn’t the worst it had been, but things got pretty bad from what you’d heard about the mission. Which meant that you had more bodyguards than usual, which stressed you out for those exams more because instead of one guy sitting in the back of the room there was one outside the door, and three other guys in the room with you, which stressed all your classmates out, and well that was just more stress on you.
It wasn’t something you did everyday, but you did have an outlet to help you relax. And since you had the extra guards it was becoming increasingly difficult to partake in said outlet. Normally you wouldn’t think to do it at home. You would sneak out at night, or go to a friends where your guard had to sit in another room, you needed some privacy afterall, or you’d find another way. But you were getting desperate for a way to calm down and you knew you only had one choice.
Once in your room you shut your door on the men that had been stuck following you around to your boring tests. You grabbed the small box you kept hidden in one of your dresser drawers under some clothes and took it into your bathroom.
After locking the door, you turn on the air vent and proceeded to set everything up.
The first drag already had you in it’s grasp. Sure, there was slight discomfort in your lungs, and you knew the risk of lung cancer. But you didn’t care. Weed was your saving grace in stressful times. It worked better than any kind of anti-anxiety you’d tried and it let you be a little more care free.
It was just nice to relax. You sat there smoking alone. Right as you were about to stamp it out your bathroom door was unlocked and opened.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Your father was stood there, eyes wide with shock.
Your eyes widened in surprise, “Dad!” You were scrambling to make it seem like you weren’t just doing what he caught you doing. “You can’t just come in my bathroom like that!” Your face was beet red.
Tony shook his head. He couldn’t believe this was happening. You were just like him, why did you have to be just like him? Tony held his hand up. “Pardon me for being told that the smell of marijuana was drifting from your room. Did you really think you wouldn’t be caught? I don’t care if you want your privacy. I knew exactly what you were doing in here and I’ll enter any room I please when I have a damn good reason to. Get that shit out of here now.”
You wanted to argue back, but you knew that it would only upset him more. So, you scrambled to get everything cleaned up before you were throwing it into a bag and leaving to discard of it outside in a dumpster. You returned upstairs, slowly, as the fear crept in of what your dad was going to say or do.
You found him waiting for you in the living room. He waved you over, knowing you’d continue standing there if he didn’t. You went and sat across from him. You knew your anxiety would be through the roof if you hadn’t just gotten high, because even being high you were freaking out.
“So?” Tony asked, expectantly.
You didn’t answer.
Tony sighed. “Sunshine, I’m not… okay well I’m a little mad, but probably not as mad as you think. So just talk to me about this.”
You couldn’t even look up at him.
“Okay look, I just want to know how you got it… what if it was laced with something… do you even know who the person was you got it from?”
“I got it from a friend it’s fine…” you finally offered, hoping that could be the end of it.
“Can you trust them? Where did they get it from? Some drug dealer off the streets? How did you even get it, your bodyguard slacking? Because if that’s the case-”
“Dad stop, it’s really not a big deal, it’s just weed. You don’t need to fire anyone because I sneak around. You know I wouldn’t even do it if it wasn’t for you and your annoying bodyguards! I’m 19 I don’t need a babysitter in my college classes. Especially 4 of them when we’re taking finals!”
Tony pinched the bridge of his nose. “You know you could have just talked to me about that. You know how Happy gets-”
“Happy?! You mean how you get, right?”
“I never told Happy it had to be 4 guys watching you, Y/N. Yes, I wanted to make sure you were properly protected, but you could have said, dad I just don’t want people in my classroom or maybe just 2 guys instead of 4. I’ll talk to Happy, but that doesn’t mean you should be smoking, especially in our home!”
“What?” You asked, and he knew you were about to challenge him. “Would you rather I do it at someone else's house? Or how about in an alley somewhere? Hey how about the school library, would that be better?”
Your father rubbed his forehead. “I’d prefer you to talk about your problems and not resort to drugs,Y/N.”
“Oh my God, dad, it’s only weed. There are way worse things out there than-“
“I don’t care about the worse things. It’s this right now. Do you even know how dangerous it can be?”
You rolled your eyes. “Oh my God, dad, why is this such a crazy big deal? It isn’t like it’s illegal!”
“It’s a big deal because I don’t want you to be like me!” He all but shouted.
You flinched at his raised voice and looked away from him.
Tony sighed as he looked at you, “I’m sorry for yelling… but I need you to understand.”
“I get it just fine, dad. I can’t make my own decisions because you don't want me to be like you… well I’m sorry you got stuck with someone that is exactly like you.” You left him there, rather shell shocked.
It was a few hours later when your dad finally tried to confront you again. He knocked on your door and waited for a response.
You wanted to ignore him but you knew he would not go away until you answered. So, you told him to come in.
He went and sat beside you on your bed. “Sunshine, I hope you knew that if you really need to smoke as an outlet, it’s fine. But please at least bring it to the lab first so we can make sure it’s alright.”
You stared at him surprised, but you nodded in response.
He kissed your head before bidding you a goodnight.
