A/N: So I'm going to apologize now if this isn't the best chapter of the set but the plot bunnies showed up and I took the opportunity to write it while I could... and It's 6:55 am and I haven't slept yet so yeah... but I hope you like it regardless!
oOoOoOo
Relax
oOoOoOo
Pepper punched her access code into the console by the door of the work shop and slid through the doorway when it opened. She walked over to where Tony was sitting at his desk and set a cup of coffee and a plate with a sandwich on it beside him before running her fingers through his hair as she leaned over his shoulder to look at the screen in front of him.
"What are you working on?" Pepper asked when she didn't recognise anything on the screen, which wasn't all that out of ordinary.
"I'm debugging some of the programming for the suit," Tony answered, not taking his eyes off the screen.
"How long have you been working on it?" Pepper asked, almost positive she knew what the answer would be.
"Not too long, only a couple hours," Tony said, obviously lying through his teeth.
"Sir 6 hours is not exactly a couple," JARVIS chimed in.
"J what have I told you about doing that," Tony all but snapped at the AI.
"Shh Tony relax," Pepper said, starting to massage his shoulders hoping to distract him from scolding JARVIS, "I think it's time for you to take a break."
"I'm almost done," Tony said around a sigh as soon as Pepper started on his shoulders.
"It's not going anywhere," Pepper said in what she hoped was a convincing voice before moving to sit on the stool beside him and push the plate closer, "This however will not taste very good if you leave it."
Tony turned to look at her so he could sass her to her face but the look Pepper was giving him stopped him in his tracks so instead he picked up half the sandwich and took a bite. Pepper waited patiently for him to finish both his sandwich and coffee before she spoke again.
"Good," Pepper said as she stood up and stacked his mug on his plate before holding a hand out to him, "Not come on, there's a hot shower with our names on it."
Pepper expected Tony to need persuading but instead he took her hand and let her lead him up to their room, with a quick pit stop in the kitchen first to drop off his dishes. They took their time relaxing under the hot water before drying off and settling into bed for some relaxing time.
oOoOoOo
