Is this gonna be a problem because I’m gonna need your help here…
#i bet pepper always had to deal with this problem where tony calls her being all unnervingly vague AND specific at the same time#like ‘are your heels higher than 1.73 inches today’ ‘what’ ‘of course they are. can you come in; i need you’#‘how many times have you gone to the bathroom today so far?’#‘is your hair up in a ponytail or a bun?’#‘if you had to compare your soul to a tropical fruit; which would it be’#half the time that’s just him picking passwords for his shit. sometimes he just needs physical help in the lab#during their first date; when they hit a silent awkward spot in conversation (as it turned out tony was like…. very visibly nervous during#that date bc 1] he so desperately wanted not to fuck it up and 2] last time he went on an actual honest to god DATE#was with candice; nineteen-ninety-fucking-one)#pepper whispers to him: ‘you could ask me about my preferences’ and she’s expecting ‘what’s your favorite color/movie/season/food/etc’#tony fucking casually and innocently stabs her in the heart with#‘what is it like to be so happy you need to cry’#pepper’s internally like#’does he even realize how sad his casual comments are sometimes?’ she still remembers the time he just shrugged like#’i don’t have anyone but you’ #and externally she’s like#’i hope i’ll help you find out what being that happy feels like’#(she succeeds) #tony stark #pepper potts#what the fuck was this #pepperony #long post #headcanon#mcu #favorite movie (X)
