You know what to do.

sure
it's also where i consider going back to sleep [ he wasn't sleeping he's a fucking liar ] and not bailing anybody out of prison

I guess we're just going to have to embrace being awkward.

[She keeps her grip around his shoulders firm, like there's a fear if she lets up, he'll vanish from her.]

Except the light up hot tub. I was promised that and I'm not going to forget it.

you werent sleeping you liar. and if you were you need to go to the doctor because youre being normal and thats terrifying

[ One eyebrow goes up at the spectacle, but he more or less lets Peter talk himself into silence before intervening. Maybe he just thinks it's funny? A mystery. ]

Got it in one. Quick and accurate, imagine that.

[ He pivots on his heel without any further ado and makes a vague gesture that probably indicates Peter should follow him in. With the pizza, of course.

Priorities. ]

listen
i just work here
if you think i have any control over this situation you're gravely mistaken

are you telling me that you're completely subject to the whims of your ladyfriend without any of your own say?

i made my opinion known
quite loudly
but here we are

i ask because it would make me feel better if i weren't the only one
good to know
what's the pig's name

i know
i was gonna call you out if you tried to judge me

[ HE AIN'T NO FOOL ]

pig's name is Pork Rind
maybe Bacon Bits, depending on the day

[ This is not the pig's name. ]

[ he does his best to not react or wilt or whatever with the eyebrow, ngl. he does a pretty good job, actually, but it's still obvious- well, no, it was clearly already obvious he was trying to make a good impression. come on, mr. stark, you've got to be used to people acting like this, right? that's how he's making himself feel better, at least.

normally people like. take the pizza from him at this point, but then again they also don't normally invite him inside, so he takes a couple seconds to make sure he's reading that right and then hurry-walks to make up for the hesitation. ] Well, accuracy without precision still isn't that helpful, right? [ wait, that. yeah, that's fine. it would be weird if he didn't say something, and that's not too bad.

it's also suddenly too quiet. ] I mean it's no Rosa's but it's still pretty good.

[ She's a devious creature indeed, because he can't even be truly sullen about it now. Not that he isn't going to make perfunctory efforts, but - melting into her touch and all. It ruins what he was going for. ]

You're really clipping my wings here, Pep.

[ This part muttered into the scarce space between their lips, which also ruins what he's going for. Oh well. He plants one on her over the stupid little pig's head, because at least then he feels like he managed to own something here.

It's only after a longer, more drawn-out kiss that he pulls back and starts tugging her toward the bed, but not without a sudden pause. ]

Oh - and definitely no porkchops in the bed. He'll eat our pillows in our sleep.

both good names
i approve

[but]

what does pepper think the pig's name is?

probably depends on how many things blow up in our faces in the weeks to come
you know how it is around here

[ Jokes... probably? ]

gimme a month
and i'm gonna need to look at that robo-body of yours in the meantime

[ All part of the plan, of course. She grins maybe a little too victoriously against his mouth, quipping lowly before his kiss silences her, ] Aren't you used to it already?

[ It's an eternal struggle between them to get the last word in, but she's all too happy to forgo words entirely for a while in favor of more non-verbal communication. She tips her forehead against his when the leisurely kiss breaks, a brief but familiar gesture, letting herself be tugged along. If it's just pillows the pig will eat they'd be lucky, Pepper thinks, but she sure isn't about to tell Tony that. ]

Okay, I'll give you that.

[ For now, at least..... She pulls away from Tony long enough to take the pig back into his own bed, the tiny animal seeming perfectly happy to burrow into the blanket there and resume his snoozes so rudely interrupted earlier. Pepper's no less enthused to climb into bed herself, doing just that and beckoning Tony to join her. ]

Now. Where were we?

[...Preliminary feedback is promising.]

I’m glad to hear it, sir. I was hoping you might be able to build something for me.

[There’s a pause as Calla wonders whether or not this is a good idea. Most on the network—human and otherwise—had suggested just going to a Creator for help. Still, he can’t shake the feeling that this isn’t a standard request.]

Are you familiar with the technology of Program charging stations?

[ He doesn't pull away, or give any indication that he's itching to; he thinks of all the times Rhodey or Pepper's grounding presence has kept him from tipping back over the edge when he's particularly wound up, and while he's hardly qualified to be on the other end of that equation, he'll manage. For Hawke. ]

Fortunately for you, I've got four. Actually I might just give you one, since I know there's gonna be more barf in it than I care to contemplate.

I'll take my own hot tub then. I'll invite all my new friends over and we'll spend time there. It will be the fun hot tub. Pepper will want to spend all her time with me. Dum-E too.

[She glances down briefly at her feet, as if unsure that they're going to support her or even move when she wants them to, before taking a cautious step forward and then another. She's still unsteady but some of her confidence is coming back.]

[ Tony follows along as casually and leisurely as possible, while determining how much more he's gonna have to tip the pool boys who service the tubs. ]

Great. I'll order a pizza and make sure none of them go anywhere near Pepper's art collection. A true party.

Order us pizza too. I don't know how to order pizza. Or what pizza is but let me tell you, it's really been built up. Going to be hard to meet those standards.

But yes, bring us pizza we might let you spend some time with us. As long as you manage to act normal and don't talk about boring things like robots.

[Bit by bit, Hawke is slowly coming back to normal. There's color in her face again and her voice doesn't shake with false cheeriness.]

[ He refrains from pointing out that the hot tub itself is a robot. ]

I promise that you would not remotely like me if I acted normal.

I think I have to look long and hard at myself and commit to the fact that I think I like you no matter what.

[Pats his shoulder like that's a thing she feels sorry for him about.]

Yeah, that makes sense. Is that with or without the crazy obstacles that you're obviously planning for?

Adrien has the robots, they're in his shed.

[ This whole thing works out in light of their previous conversation. She's already contacted Adrien about it. ]

So I've decided I don't want my robot anymore. You were going to use it to work on my armor anyway. Do you want it?

[ Occupying Tony Stark's mouth with other activities is almost certainly the best way to stop him trying to get the last word, something Pepper no doubt realized within the first ten minutes of them being together. It works just as well here, even with his strong pig-related objections. How predictable.

He slides onto the bed next to her once the pig is comfortably situated on the floor. If he considers the situation Nate is in right now, pet-related annoyance is really nothing of importance at all. Hell, he's glad this is an argument he gets to have. One hand moves to brush a few strands of red hair out of her face while he takes a moment to marvel for the millionth time that she's here, safe, and his.

It feels like a dream that he's gonna wake up from eventually, the kind you desperately have to savor while it's happening. ]

Depends. I can think of a few things.

[ Well.

Actually, he's surprised. ]

that's an abrupt shift in priorities
did you experience some kind of paradigm shift?
