Chapter 1

"You are such a tool" Tony said beneath his breath as he watched his father walk away yet again in disappointment. Leaving Tony in his room standing before the robot he had built. Howard Stark took one look and decided it was just not good enough.

Tony sighed before throwing the screwdriver he held in his hand on the floor before moving to sit Down on his bed.

The robot had one hand and was capable of understanding simple human commands. Something that he had thought would impress Howard but still it was not good enough. Nothing Tony did was good enough, getting into MIT at 14 was not enough enough to convince his father!

"You look upset darling" Tony looked up to see the owner of the voice standing by the door, his Mother leaned on the door frame. Tony barely ever saw her, always from from Dinner party to a charity function.

"I am surprised you still recognize me" Tony snapped, his eyes followed her around the room once she began approaching him and touching machines he built randomly. "Or even remember where my room/lab is"

"Are you attempting to break your mother's heart?" Maria asked with a frown on her lips. She wore a floor length black v-neck fitted dress left little to the imagination.

"I doubt Jarvis heart would break" Tony snapped before standing and snatching a delicate piece of machinery from her hands. Maria paused to stare at her son, he looked so much like her. He had a delicate build with Burnett hair he was a foot shorter than her and wore ripped jeans with an ac/dc shirt.

"You work so hard Tony, you could always just rely on you second gender as a male carrier, marry someone smart rich and powerful-" Maria's painted ruby red lips fell silent once she saw the disinterest on Tony's face.

"Oh joy, what I always wanted! To become a trophy wife that never has time for her child." Tony said sarcastically. "Oh, what version of you will I be? The too drunk or the socialite?" Tony smiled in satisfaction as he watched his mother's face pale. He knew the slap would come but he did nothing to doge it. The slap sting painfully on his right cheek. "Perhaps next time you choose to be a responsible parent, you start early. Perhaps around age 5 when the personality and manners are being formed" They held eye contact for a moment before Maria chose to walk away.

Tony had zero intention of letting her think it was okay to let Jarvis come alone for every award or graduation.

Tony was smaller than most kids he stood at 5"1 and was slim with slightly muscular arms from lifting parts.

He had no friends because he was a 14 year old in college and had an unhealthy obsession with the ac/D.C. Band.

He spent most of his free time building machines and inventions to try to impress his father and he was raised by his butler.

"Do you not think you were a bit harsh with your mother, master Tony?" Tony knew that voice, it was the most familiar voice to him. Jarvis was a man with greeting hair and a soft smile and aging gracefully features he towered over Tony although still short 5"7. He wore a three piece suit and a tie.

"What does one consider a mother in recent times because it seems the word is thrown around only when convenient" Tony replied. Jarvis sighed before placing a hand on Tony's back to rub in a clock wise motion that always seemed to relax him.

"Regardless of anything, she is your mother" Javis scolded in a soft tone.

"Right, even when she has a thing for pairing Ty Stone with me", Dude is like a Greek god. 6"3 height, blonde with blue eyes. Tony found him attractive but he had zero intention of being anyone's trophy wife.

"You literarily have his picture hanging on the wall there" Jarvis smirked and casually walked over to the picture that hung on the wall. "Why on earth would she think you find Ty stone attractive is beyond me"

"I understand your sarcasm but if acceptances means I agree with my mom I refuse." Tony replied stubbornly. His room was big it combined a lab and room together so Tony would not miss out on working every minute he was free. "Ty Stone is also a dick head" Jarvis rolled his eyes and sighed.

"You have never even spoken to the man" Jarvis sighed before giving his head a shake.

"I can tell by looking at him!" Tony defended.

"Be nicer to your mom" Jarvis said finally. Tony smiled back at Jarvis who rose a brow at the teen male.

"Of course mom I always listen to you" Tony finished. Jarvis shook his head and left, tony used the opportunity to shut the room door.

Tony sighed and laid back on the bed and stared up at the ceiling.

School came back on and Tony was trapped on campus with a very huge bodyguard. Ty Stone was by his teaching theatre door, a few girls hanging off his arms and a smile on his face.

Tony had not had his growth spurt yet but he hoped it would come soon, his cheeks turned red slightly as he stared at Stone.

"Hey Tony" Ty said as he passed by, it's not like Tony cared that the most popular guy in MIT was on first name basis with him.

"Master Tony, the bell has rang perhaps we should proceed to class." The body guard spoke. It drew tony out of his bubble.

"Right on it " Tony said as proceeded to enter the Lecture hall.

The class was taught by Russell Tedrake, it was on Robotics and although Tony tired hard to pay attention his mind kept wondering to other things.

Tony usually sat at the back to avoid trouble and being the focus of the lecturer.

Class was over pretty quickly because Professor Russell had started writing the assignment on the white board.

Lecture ended and Tony headed towards the his other classes. Body guard still following carefully, no wanting the heir to stark Industries to get kidnapped.

Again he saw Ty stone, this time he sat at the back of the lecture hall where Tony usually sat. Tony took the seat beside Ty who looked as good as ever, he observed Tony and Tony silently did the same "kind of cute for a kid"

Tony only took the seat so he would not seem like he ran away just because Ty sat where he sits.

"I am not a kid" Tony frowned.

"What are you? 12?" Ty asked curiously.

"16" so he lied, sue him.

"Right, and I am 42 years old" Ty rolled his blue eyes.

"Then I must say you look good for a 42 year old, you look not a day above 40 old man" Tony replied. He watched a frown grace Ty's lips.

"You have a big mouth, not really cute for a kid your age" Ty replied.

"Kid my age?" Tony glared at Ty for a moment. "I am not 12"

"Sure?"

"You are a tool"

"Whatever you say Dexter"

"Johnny Bravo"

"Who did I have to piss off to get a kid for a fiancée?" Ty asked rhetorically with a sigh.

"Wait, what?" Tony gasped, Ty rose a curious brow at Tony.

"Fiancée, don't you know?" Ty asked.

"No I did not know!" Tony snapped. All heads turned to him.

"Mr Stark, I will not have you disrupting my Lectures!" The Lecturer, Mr Brown snapped.

"Did you really not know?" Ty asked when things had settled down.

"Yes! How am I expected to know" Tony asked.

"Your parents perhaps?" Ty rose a brow as Tony flushed red. "Kid it's not that big a dea-"

Tony didn't hear what Ty was saying because he ran off.

In the Dorms Tony picked up his phone to call his parents, not because he was dying to talk to them but simply because he wanted to confirm the story he had been told today.

"What do you want?" Howard snapped as he picked up the call. "If this is a ransom call, Stark industries does not pay ransom"

"Are you marrying me off to Ty Stone" Tony asked.

"Is that really why you called me? To ask me such a foolish question? Why wouldn't you have issues inventing when you are too busy asking stupid questions." Howard snapped.

"I was just asking Dad-"

"Sometimes I wonder why I didn't make your mother abort you, after all tied time's the charm." Howard growled. "Call your mother, she arranged this whole Charade. At least you can be useful or once in your life. Send James back too, the Stone family will be protecting you." Howard cut the line. Tony sat on his Dorm bed in silence for a while, he felt heavy.

Tony dialed his mother, she picked up the call after a few rings. "I told you I don't want to be a trophy wife and I don't want to be engaged to anyone"

"I am your mother and I decide, besides Stone is old money. This marriage will join Stone and Stark together as one." Maria replied.

"You cannot be serious, I don't even know him" Tony snapped.

"I am very serious Tony, this will greatly benefit both families" Maria replied. "I need you to not screw this up, okay Dear?"

"Right" Tony bit his bottom lip hard, he cut the line and called Jarvis. Jarvis voice always cheered Tony up.

Ty stone had zero intention of marrying a kid, he had his plan that involved him not only taking over the family business but also the crime syndicate.

He sighed when he passed the kid in the hall, there had to be a law against this. The kid was a kid, he looked no older than 11 years old. He was short skinny and wore branded shirts and ripped jeans.

Ty pinched the bridge of his nose wondering how he would even be able to marry a child. He had seen the Stark heir at parties but never really spoke, in fact the kid seemed to run off whenever Ty approached.

The next lecture he had with mini stark, he decided to change things up. He sat where the boy usually sat, he doubted the boy would run from him so obviously.

As he assumed the boy sat beside him, the kid was cute. Ty had to admit, the blush on the pale skin, big brown eyes and button nose were key features Ty kind of had a boned for.

"Kind of cute, for a kid." Ty started easily. The fire came to Tony's eyes, he looked like he was ready to strangle Ty.

"I am not a kid" the kid growled angrily, Ty almost felt tempted to pinch the cheeks he had puffed out in anger.

"What are you? 12?" Ty asked, he watched Tony's face drain of colour before flushing red.

"16" the kid replied, obviously lying because there was no way the kid could be 16. With grace added Ty could still believe Tony was 13.

"Right, and I am 42 years old" Ty rolled his blue eyes as sarcasm dropped in his voice. If Tony was indeed sixteen then he was 42!

"Then I must say you look good for a 42 year old, you look not a day above 40 old man" Tony replied. He watched the kid smirk triumphantly as if he won, it was cute watching the mix of different facial expressions.

"You have a big mouth, not really cute for a kid your age" Ty replied. Amused once more as Tony's face reddened, in embarrassment or annoyance.

"Kid my age?" Tony glared at him angrily. "I am not 12" Ty could see Tony throwing a tantrum and stomping his feet on the ground as he cried that he was not 12.

"Sure?" Ty asked.

"You are a tool" tony snapped before crossing his arms across his chest.

"Whatever you say Dexter" Ty knew he should not enjoy upsetting the kid but he could not help the teasing, the kid was adorable.

"Johnny Bravo"

"Who did I have to piss off to get a kid for a fiancée?" Ty didn't mean it, it was part of the teasing..

"Wait, what?" Tony gasped, Ty rose a curious brow at Tony.

"Fiancée, don't you know?" Ty asked.

"No I did not know!" Tony snapped. All heads turned to him.

"Mr Stark, I will not have you disrupting my Lectures!" The Lecturer, Mr Brown snapped.

"Sorry sir,"

"Did you really not know?" Ty asked when the teacher had began lecturing again.

"Yes! How am I expected to know" Tony asked in all seriousness.

"Your parents perhaps?" Ty rose a brow as Tony flushed red. "Kid it's not that big a dea-"

Ty came over in the evening, Tony was tinkering with the A.I he had been trying to build since he was in diapers. Tony heard a knock on his door, Ty stood there towering over Tony in a non threatening manner.

"Wow this was unexpected" Tony said dryly.

"Trust me, I had no wish to see you but sadly. I have to start 'dating' you" Ty replied.

"What about your girlfriends 1 to 5?" Tony asked. Ty rose a brow but said nothing pushing Tony said to go lie on his bed. "What the in the name of science do you think you are doing?"

"I was about to get some shut eye but you won't stop talking" Ty sighed.

"Well if you, I don't know… went to your own room to sleep perhaps this conversation could be avoided-" Tony was cut off when Ty sat up only to look under Tony's bed. "What the hell are you doing!"

"Seeing what kind of porn you are into kid" Ty commented, he watched Tony's face turn red before digging through the boxes.

"Stop you cannot just-" Tony moved to stop Ty but Ty kept him at a distance with one hand and kept searching with the other.

"No porn, but gasp what is this!" Ty said loudly. "A poster picture of me from a kid who claims to not be interested" Tony had never been so humiliated in his life.

"I hate you" Tony snapped angrily, as tears filled his eyes. This was high school all over again and this time his mother had been the one to bring the bully into Tony's life.

"Jesus, kid don't cry I was kidding" Ty dropped the poster, it fell to the floor and rolled smoothly under the bed.
