You awoke to an unusually cold bed, with the spot where Tony normally lays remains empty. You mumble to yourself as you slowly sit up, rubbing your eyes.

Tony had promised that today would be a day filled of just you two, yet he was already missing. However, it didn't look like Tony had rushed out, considering that the side of the bed that he slept on was neatly made. You sigh at your thoughts, thinking that you're probably just overreacting about this.

You make your way to the bathroom, which smelled faintly of Tony's cologne. Things begun to get a bit suspicious now, remembering that Tony was not an earlier riser.

"Jarvis?" You call out.

"Yes Miss Y/N?" Jarvis responds, sighing in relief.

"Have you seen Tony?" You ask, sounding paranoid.

Jarvis is quiet for a moment, and responds. "I am afraid I have not, I apologize dearly Miss Y/N."

You thank Jarvis. What could have happened to him? Your eyes were a still bit blurry from waking up, but when they focused you saw a note taped onto the mirror. You carefully grab it, trying not to leave a mark on the mirror.

It reads;
"Dear Y/N,
I know at this point you've probably already asked Jarvis about my whereabouts, but don't worry about me, I'm fine! I needed to make sure everything was absolutely perfect for today. So while I'm off preparing, I made a little scavenger hunt for you! Alright, so just in advance I'm terrible at giving hints so here's my attempt at the first one. This is the place where I first confessed my love for you.
-Tony"

You smile upon reading the letter. You instantly recognized the first place he was referring to, which was strangely enough his lab. You quickly slip into something more comfortable and brush your hair.

You nearly run to the lab, sliding the door open. You flip the lights on, to reveal a surprisingly neat lab. The note however was nowhere in sight. You looked behind everything.

You glare around once more, to see a note sticking out of one of Tony's books. You crack the book open, and read the note.

"Ah, so you found it. I knew you could. I remember when I used to write my feelings down for you in this book because I couldn't tell anyone about it. Not even Jarvis. Anyways, the next place is less of a 'where' and more of a 'who.' Okay so maybe I was running out of ideas, but it may be a bit obvious. Good luck!"

Could it be Jarvis? He said it would be "a bit obvious," so you decide to ask Jarvis.

"Jarvis?" You call out once more.

"Yes, Miss Y/N?"

"Did Tony leave anything for me?"

Instead of responding, Jarvis plays a recording.

"Well I'm guessing that probably took you less than five seconds to figure out. I sort of forgot to mention earlier that I got you a little something in your closet. Don't be afraid to wear it. The next place is where I took you on our first date, or should I say where you insisted me take you."

You laugh, remembering your first date. Tony wanted to take you to some fancy expensive restaurant, but you had wanted to go to an old cafe that your parents would take you to all of the time.

You reach your closet, opening the door. You gasp as you see a long F/C dress, that must have costed Tony a fortune. You always talked about it, and could barely believe he got it for you!

You slip into the dress, as it highlights your features. Your thoughts divert to the fact that you probably will look over dressed. You shrug it off continuing.

~~~

Once you make it to the cafe, many people stare at you and your outfit. You didn't care, really.

The waiter glances at you awkwardly. "How many?"

You shake your head. "Actually I just think I left something here, and need to look for it. You don't mind, do you?"

The waiter nods. "Not at all, go right ahead m'am."

You thank him, advancing to the booth that the two of you had sat in. There was a note attached to the edge of the table. You quickly read it.

"Y/N I'll be surprised if you read this note before they remove it from the table, but if you are, congrats. Remember our first date here, where I, Tony Stark, spilled coffee on myself because I was so nervous for things to be perfect? And you nearly choked on your meal laughing? That was interesting. I would make this hunt more intricate, but I'm bad at giving hints and I hate waiting. Your last location is where one of our dates went south. Probably not the best memory, but I'm assuming you remember."

You think to yourself as you exit the cafe and enter your car. You couldn't think of an exact date when "things went south," but then you remembered one of your dates at a large park. You decide the travel there, hoping that was right. 

One question sprung in your mind. What did Tony mean when he said he was waiting? Waiting for what?

You arrive at the park, which was empty. It wasn't a surprise remembering it wasn't known by many, just by you and Tony.

You find a note taped under the tree where the two of you had sat on that date. You read the note.

"Weirdly enough, I think this date was my favorite. When it began to rain, and we started laughing and playing in the rain, and we kissed. I just realized that day how much I really do love you, Y/N. So will you do me a favor?"

"And marry me?" Tony asks, appearing from behind the tree. You cup your hands over your mouth and nod, not able to respond. Tears stream down your face, as Tony smiles and hugs you.

"You have no idea how much I love you, Y/N Stark."
