Birthday Fic Fest #5 - Pepperony + “I’m worried about your coffee dependency.”
“I’m worried about your coffee dependency.”
Tony looked over the rim of his coffee mug at Pepper who stood across the lab with her hands on her hips.
“Pep….light of my life, ruler of the world……you don’t understand, I need this.”
He held the mug close to his chest.
Looking at her boyfriend, she tried to not smile because he was a ridiculous man but she loved him and it; most of the time anyways.
“Tony, if you ate more and got sleep on a regular schedule then you wouldn’t need so much coffee or at least, switch to decaf.”
Of course, Pepper knew the last part would get a reaction, which is why she said it.
The moment Tony processed everything she said, his eyes widened and jumped out of his chair in outrage as his mug slipped from his and smashed into a bunch of pieces when it came into contact with the floor.
Tony rubbed the back of his neck as he grinned sheepishly.
“Well, now that there are no more usable mugs in your lab, you can come upstairs with me and take a break.”
Pepper smiled triumphantly, daring Tony to argue with her.
Letting out a sigh, he nodded his head then stood up and stretched.
“Jarvis, save everything then lock down the lab until I return.”
Screens flickered as the AI went through with his orders.
Tony walked over to Pepper then pulled her close so he could kiss her.
“Mmm…..so you have any plans for my break?”
Looking into Tony’s eyes, she just smiled pleasantly then stepped out of his arms and headed out of the lab.
