Christmas in Stark Tower was a bit of a big deal for Tony Stark. During this time of the year, various rooms were redecorated into a Christmas theme, usually by Tony himself. Stockings on the wall, reefs in the lounge, and even a giant, disfigured stuffed animal bunny which Tony had salvaged from the wreckage of of his Malibu home 3 years ago. There was also an abundance of mistletoe, placed wherever Romanoff and Pepper tended to hang out. Even the robots were part of the Christmas cheer, with Dum-E having his own specialized Santa hat, and JARVIS being programmed to play Christmas Carols at the start of every hour.
Truth be told, Tony wasn’t /big/ on the holidays himself. As a child, Christmas was fairly simple. He always received what he wanted. But...for people like Natasha, Clint, Hill, and especially Pepper, a little bit of Christmas Spirit was bound to be a pick me up. All except for Bruce, he supposed.
As Tony approached the lab door where the scientist spent most of his time, he could hear the foreign curse in the man’s frustrated tone. A hiss was heard as the chrome doors slid open, revealing the hilarious sight of DUM-E trying his hardest to place a Christmas hat on the head of Bruce Banner. Tony’s lips give way to a grin as he walks inside the lab, arms folded before speaking up.
“DUM-E, take a break, he’s green, so he’s supposed to be a Grinch.”
In response to Tony’s words, there’s a sad whir from the robot, but he obliges, sliding away with the hat within his clamps.
“Now now, Banner. With all the Christmas carols and candy canes, I’m surprised you aren’t rainbows and sunshine. Did Thor take your present?”
As Tony spoke, he made his way to the man’s side, enabling him to lay a hand on Bruce’s shoulder.
