Tony Stark x Plus-Size Reader
Some people find it difficult to be around him because of his constant whirlwind personality. But he knows how to push people’s buttons because he understands them, and any jibes he threw your way would definitely be endearing. By design. All you’d have to do is let him know that you knew that, and he’d be putty in your hands.
Naturally, you throw a couple quick-witted comments his way and he’ll appreciate it anyhow, but the whole facade he has up is exhausting sometimes and to have someone tell him to his face that they can tell what he’s really like even without the mask slipping? Wow. And because he knows what it’s like to be judged without having your real personality taken into account, he’d never stereotype you, or make decisions about what you’re like that are only skin-deep.
He’s still arrogant, sarcastic and occasionally insulting, but he’d never try to make fun of anything you’re insecure about. And if he did it by accident, he’d apologise double-quick, make it up to you, and make a mental note never to do that again.
If you ever felt like it, you could spend a few hours in his workshop tinkering on things with him or doing your own stuff and he’d be glad to have the company. Doesn’t matter whether you’re into tech and mechanics or not, he’d be interested in whatever you’re doing just because you’re choosing to spend time with him and he’d usually be alone.
Any time you’d walk in, he’d interrupt his own work to ask what you were in for. If he got an inkling that you weren’t just there to hang out with the world’s best company, then he’d ask seriously what’s wrong — and whether it’s somebody else being critical of you or your own inner monologue, he’d have the same response. “You’re gonna listen to that? Poor taste.”
