[Avengers + US Entertainment] Daily life of local tyrants

Yes, students who like to right-click or fast-forward at x32 speed, there are always times when you will find that you accidentally fast-forward and lose some important plots.

So we played it back again.

Claire wanted to try to get drunk, but before she got drunk... "The promised gift."

"Don't worry." Tony also opened the beer and drank it. "Actually, for so many years, I have always wanted to ask why you rejected me in the first place."

At night, rooftops, beer, two-person world, not talking to each other is a waste of atmosphere.Tony finally asked the question that had occasionally bothered him all these years.

"I thought you would never ask." After all, after she said 'no', seeing Tony again, it seemed that nothing had happened, and everything was back to before Tony kissed her.Even the two have not experienced any embarrassment in their relationship for so many years, but occasionally Claire will recall that time, that place, after Tony kissed her, before he said the beginning, she said no first.

"Claire, sometimes when I think I know you well enough, you always surprise me. There may be many things about you, I'm not sure. But you like me, I'm very sure about this." Tony reached for his watch, seeming to care about the time.

Claire drank a can of beer in silence, and after recovering her voice, "Actually..."

Before Claire finished speaking, Tony suddenly said, "It's time. Look up and look at the sky."

Countless fireworks jumped into the sky from all over the city, the most eye-catching one was the c&t in the middle.

"I remember you said that you used to like watching fireworks." Tony said softly beside him.

Claire felt that the two of them had returned to that strange circle, the strange circle of ambiguity.In fact, she never minded to say something clearly, but Tony wanted to pretend nothing happened, and she didn't want to force it, otherwise it would seem like she was refusing to accept it. "Tony, that's right, you know, I love you." If she wasn't sure at that time, Clare, who is now approaching 30, is enough to understand the difference between like and love.

"At that time, I didn't want to give us a start, and it was precisely because I cared about you." As he spoke, he took another sip of beer, "I don't mind being your good friend for life, as long as you are happy. This is not What a great love, what a selfless feeling. Love is never just romantic, from the time I came into this world with nothing, and you are my only focus, it still remains the same. I don’t want to let Once our relationship has broken down, there is no going back.”

Under the sky full of fireworks, the black-haired woman spoke words like a confession, and Tony also followed Claire's movements and poured beer one by one.

"It's okay to be timid or cowardly. At least until you're serious enough, Tony, I can't bet on it. The meaning of 25 roses, I hope you are happy, that's how I love you. If there is any hope to go In the end, I wouldn’t say no before you spoke at that time. The one who knows you better than me is yourself. Even now, I’m not sure. But I know, you care about me, at least over the years, It's worth being with you by your side, isn't it?" Claire is a very insecure person emotionally, which she realized before time travel.So for Tony's feelings, she has been very careful to restrain its growth.She could smile and send off those women who were lingering with Tony at night without feeling heartbroken. First of all, she knew that Tony couldn't even remember the names of these people, and at best they were airtight inflatable dolls.Secondly, I always tell myself who I am, only as a friend can I maintain a normal heart and love Tony for so many years.

Based on her understanding of Tony, it's not that she doesn't know how unqualified a lover he will be, but feelings are not about liking him after you find out how good he is, but when you know how bad he is. Down, still submerged involuntarily.Tony Stark, he may have a lot of problems, fickleness, arrogance, willfulness, selfishness, but no matter how bad he is, his willfulness can even hurt people, even the closest people around him, seeing him When you look at him, you still unconsciously agree to let him be self-willed with him.

In fact, apart from that kiss, and tonight, Tony never created any ambiguity between the two of them.This is also the reason why Claire insists on this method more and more firmly.Tony Stark, he'll get whatever he wants.Has always been a self-centered person, only what he wants and does not want, not what he can and cannot have.If he is really serious and persistent, he will take the initiative to fight for it.So Claire would rather retreat to the passive position of a friend, if he likes, she is always here.Even if you don't like it, accompanying and taking care of each other every day, people's hearts are fleshy, and it is also a way to step into each other's heart step by step.Claire is not a coward with low self-esteem, she just retreats to move forward, and impresses her loved one step by step while ensuring that she stands in a position where she will not be hurt.Even if they are lovers, those impulsive and hormonal effects will gradually fade after marriage, and they are just like relatives.That's why Claire never clings to that kind of form. Perhaps when she was a girl, she dreamed of staying with the one she loves for a lifetime... But growing up taught her how to compromise and cherish, and it also made her afraid of losing.

"Maybe it's just because you don't love me as much as you imagined, otherwise you wouldn't even have the courage to try." Tony's voice was three points lower than usual.

Claire just drank silently and didn't answer Tony's words.The current Tony, who has not experienced life and death, experienced transformation, he is just a person who is used to standing in the spotlight and letting the world revolve around him.He won't understand how careful her love is, and he won't understand how she uses all her reason to protect her heart.What's more, she didn't understand the role of her subtle self-esteem in this relationship.

Neither of them spoke until the fireworks cleared.After the fireworks burned out, the whole city fell silent. All the cursing from the city residents about the noise and pollution caused by the fireworks, as well as the simple cheers and boos, all fell silent.

Tony turned his head to find that Claire beside him was already in tears.

This was the second time in so many years that he saw Claire cry.He panicked.

"You don't understand...you still don't understand..." Tony tried to wipe away Carlisle's tears, but the other party fell into Tony's arms.Unconsciously repeating the same sentence.

Tony realizes that Claire is drunk.It was also this recognition that made him realize that Claire was not as happy as he imagined, otherwise he would not have seen her tears when she was drunk.

"You are Tony Stark...you don't understand..." Tony Stark will always let others understand him, but he will never think about others, even if he does, it is from what he thinks is good Perspective never stand on other people's point of view for others to consider.This is also her biggest concern. She has no self-confidence to maintain the relationship between two people under such an unequal state of mind.

At this time, Tony didn't pay much attention to Claire's drunken words. He seemed to understand something only after he was imprisoned in the cave for dozens of nights. There were some things that he really didn't understand at that time.

So, on the new birthday, both of them got what they wanted as they wished.An answer about no, a drunken unconsciousness.

……

The time axis finally pulled back to the present tense, the morning when Claire was hungover.

"Holyshit!" Claire swore that she would never get drunk again!
