“ Don’t hate the player, hate the game. You say that a lot, right ? but if I recall … you started that night —- I just know how to get the upper hand. “ and suddenly, she’s no longer going the extra mile to sulk —- even if it had been a plus going toward what she wanted. “ I knew you wouldn’t .. because if you did, I was thinking you on a pull out bed “ light sarcasm.
he’ll scoff now, as if truly offended that she’s used his own words against him. truth be told, however, it’s only fair.
❛ i never say that — anymore. and i may have started it, but you were wearing that really sexy nightgown to bed… so again, you seduced me. regardless, i’m glad you wore it because it really set the mood.
❜ tony stops talking now, though, fearing he may have put his foot in his mouth by going on and on about that situation.
❛ that’s just harsh, if we’re being honest here.
❜ given the few feet of space between them, he points right at her as if accusing her; and he kind of is.
❛ cruel and unusual punishment. but i guess it’s just lucky i’m an honest man.
❜ a rather prideful shrug follows.
zeke plays it surprisingly cool, cocking his head and blinking at tony as if he has no idea why the guy is acting like this. ❝ it’s a free country –? ❞
❛ no thanks to your father.
❜ obadiah had sold stark weapons to those that sought to take over people that couldn’t defend themselves, and tony had had to stop such a thing from happening with his own two hands.
❛ again i ask, why are you here?
❜ he attempts to relax, to convince both zeke and himself that he’s not as angry as he actually is.
fingertips inch upwards, the palm of her hand gently cupping his cheek while fully indulged in that kiss; a prolonged session of lip locking that has her never wanting to part. ❛ always, huh? one could assume since… two-thousand and eight? ❜ a smile, teasing in it’s very nature, spreads from the corners of her lips and a soft string of laughter soon emanates from within. ❛ mr. stark, i would love nothing more, lets go. ❜
the kiss is one he too wishes would never end, but when it does he’ll take advantage of simply looking at pepper. how he’d gotten so lucky, even the genius doesn’t know. hands having left her cheeks to settle at her hips once more as their foreheads rest against one another’s, tony smirks.
❛ yeah, i’d say that’s a safe assumption. though i gotta admit, i think happy wants it ore than the both of us.
❜ but they’ll pull fully apart now, tony smiling contentedly still as his hand grabs to hold one of hers.
❛ need anything before we leave?
❜ sometimes they stay at the new avengers headquarters, but only when business is far too fast paced to even THINK about going home; today is not one of those days, luckily.
“Depends on who can give me what I want with as little issues.” and considering they could both be, what one could call, a hard ass simply for the reason of being difficult, it could really be either. “So who’s in the best mood?“
interesting woman… definitely a memorable first impression situation.
❛ probably me. shes got meetings all day, and she only wants me at one in two hours. what are you, uh, wanting?
❜
“ Fine, it’s just my mom, don’t worry — you’ve faced worse things and 2 hours won’t kill you. “ a pause. “ Please , Tony —- “
❛ no i remember now — that was the night you seduced me, isn’t it? yeah, i wasn’t listening to a word you were saying. i would have agreed to sell you my soul with you on top of me like that.
❜ it probably was that night, but tony can also see just how much it means to pepper.
❛ i’m not backing out, though. i told you i’d be present, and i won’t break my promise, pep.
❜
the funeral had come and gone, and she liked to believe it was her INTUITION that led her to find him – but perhaps it was just obvious, given she’d been in this scenario once before. “ believe it or not, i do know a thing or two about LOSS. ”
tony doesn’t acknowledge the woman he’s come to know as an aunt ( despite the lack of biological relation ), far too willing to allow himself to drown in his own sorrow. of course tony knows it’s unhealthy, but his parents are dead… his mother, the one parent that made him feel loved and appreciated. but where howard had failed, peggy made up for it; and the young man has so much to be thankful for with her. especially now. however, when the older woman speaks again, he’ll lift his head to reveal blood shot eyes, cheeks even stained with tears long dried by now. he’s sitting pathetically with his back against his mother’s grave, the funeral having ended hours ago.
❛ there’s nothing to say.
❜
