Relax, now. He settled back further into the bed and allowed his head to lean off to the side, watching her, skeptical. She had her eyes closed and seemed to be bracing herself. He might have closed his eyes after her for all purposes of fairness but she had captured his attention too well.
The moment the voice emitted from her lips he knew this was something special and personal. It was not the requirement of an assistant to sing their bosses to sleep nor was the case with friends. The quality of her voice didn't matter- it was the sincerity along with the gentleness of her touch. No, he had never had anything quite like this. It seemed to be exactly what Tony needed.
"Peppe-," he had started off aimlessly before a peak in the notes brought him back to the realization she was still going. He cut himself off, and closed his eyes without a single complaint or sign of resistance. The heaviness of his head and empty aches in the pit of his stomach alleviated along with any signs of physical stress. His hand squeezed her own lightly once more before his knuckles and digits relaxed entirely. The other hand steadily drummed away on his chest piece but progressively slowed until the light was obscured from his fingers over the glow and the shadows drifted calmly with his breathing. Anthony Edward Stark had been soothed to sleep in under 3 minutes with no interjections.
