❛ —— seriously? how old are you again?
❜ he’ll scold, but picks up one of the stray cheetos and chucks it back at the young girl. | @sheslikeyou
tony never much believed in love. as a child, he was used to seeing the way his mother looked at his father, as if he was the only man in the world, and it always confused him. how could she love howard when he was so very often an awful man that rarely paid attention to his family? because of this, his idea of love was skewed.
after his parents’ death, tony drowned his sorrows in alcohol and women. love was not something he was looking for, nor was it something he believed existed. he slept around because it felt good, and he never had to form a connection with them beyond a night spent together; once pepper was hired, she’d always take out the trash the next morning.
but when he returned from afghanistan and saw pepper again, everything changed. not only his company and outlook on life, but his outlook on love. he may not have loved pepper, per se, right away upon coming home, but as time went on he realized just how lucky he was to have her in his life; that’s when the love began to form. at this point in time, tony’s completely smitten with the woman that now runs his company, and the woman he’d trust with his life ( and coincidentally give his life for ).
their relationship began a bit rocky, but that’s mostly due to the fact that laura wasn’t exactly forthcoming with how she’d come to find him. HOWEVER, such stiffness and uncertainty quickly dissipates, and laura is accepted by both tony and pepper as if she’s their own, even though she’s nothing of the sort. after a few months, though, tony begins to develop paternal feelings for the girl, and such is quite obvious as time goes on and he tries to spoil her more and more. it’s a little over a year later that he’ll look into a possible adoption, and he’s almost afraid to ask if she’d want to become his and pepper’s; such a fear is soon proven silly.
as she grows up and threats become more and more imminent ( against them both ), they turn into a kind of team, fighting side by side but only when necessary. she’s far more capable than most people give her credit for, even tony, but he still treats her like his little girl because he can’t bear the thought of having her life lost; that death is on his hands.

eee thank you for sending this, love! now, for five things that make me happy:
1. my family ( esp my siblings )
2. writing in peace ( deep in my drafts and not on my dash where drama happens )
3. being able to make my friends happy ( with words or graphics )
4. being around good and positive people
5. my exposure to criminal justice all throughout high school in an academy

❛ hey, kid… you hold the stapler and i’ll hold the tie.
❜ he offers, approaching the young girl and grabbing for both pieces of fabric to hold for her to staple. he knows it won’t solve the problem, but at least she’s trying. he’ll even smile at the sight before him, gaze flicking over laura briefly; having her in his life is definitely something he doesn’t regret. | @sheslikeyou

❛ —— i hope you plan on replacing that. using your own money. not mine. pepper won’t be happy because that’s actually her favorite tie of mine. she bought it, too.
