Current Song: Remember The Name by Fort Minor
Current Thought: this is like the only rap I have on my iPod and it's not even considered 'real' rap. Oh goodness.
ODIN TAKE THE WHEEL. ODIN TAKE THE WHOLE GOD-DAMNED VEHICLE.
Tony/Pepper Potts
She's known him the longest (besides Rhodey, but no. Not Rhodey. Not like this) so she knows him the best. And she was his friend before she was his PA and she was his PA before she was his girlfriend and she was his girlfriend before she was his wife, so it all works out, really, in the end.
She knows how he likes his coffee, but then she knows when he likes his coffee (at the early hours of the morning and in the afternoon). She knows what he likes to eat but also when he likes to eat (some people say never, some people say always, she tells them to shut the fuck up because he has a weird schedule, ok?). She knows when he's tired, how he looks and where he's going to be crashing. Who he wants to crash with (usually her, but when the baby comes, he likes to drape him over his stomach and watch the reactor lull the little guy to sleep).
She knows his insecurities, was there when they formed and when he got over them (not all of them, but some of them). She knows when he's going to be late, how he's going to be late, why he's going to be late, what excuse he'll make up to cover that he's late. She knows who he doesn't like, why he doesn't like them, who he hates more than them, who he likes more than them.
She knows that he loves running his fingers through her hair, or that she smells like strawberries but she can't eat them (even though he forgets that last part sometimes). She knows he loves her, even though he can't bring himself to say it too often, but she knows the reasons behind that too, so it's alright. She treasures it when he does.
Pepper Potts knows a lot about Tony Stark. And that's why they work.
