[fullondiva]

Why not? [He shrugs, water swirling around him. He leans back and takes another sip.] I'm here, booze is here, the water's nice, and nothing. Ever. Happens.

[He looks up at her, pleading.]

Aren't you bored, Pepper?

[girl_friday]

I'm never bored. I constantly have you to look after. It's every young girl's dream.

[She reaches out to try and pluck the drink from his hand.]

Come on. That's enough.

[fullondiva]

[He grins sloppily at her.]

No it's not. You need to drink too, Pepper Potts. Potts, Pepper. Here.

[He's let her take his glass, but produces a bottle from the side of the tub and pours more into it, before taking a swig from the bottle for himself.]

[girl_friday]

[She sits on the edge of the tub, watching him curiously.]

You asked if I'm bored. Aren't you?

[fullondiva]

[Tony has to think about that.]

S'that a trick question?

[girl_friday]

No. This just seems like old habits dying hard.

[She gestures vaguely.]

Drunk in public, flirting with the first woman to stumble in on you. You're on a new planet. Aren't you curious?

[fullondiva]

[He frowns at her, sitting up a little straighter. He's had some practice being drunk, after all. It's like an art.]

'Course I'm curious. Been all over this place, no way out. Some sort of force fields, no visible power supply, no access through terminals. And how do you know you're the first woman to stumble in? This isn't a habit, Pepper. It's coping.

[girl_friday]

[She reaches out to adjust some of his hair that's fallen into his face.]

Your "coping" is going to kill you by way of liver disease before that reactor ever gets a chance.

[fullondiva]

[He's not listening. He's leaning into her hand, craving touch, anything. He's drunk and he's lonely, dammit.]

It's just tonight, Pepper. Just once, stop trying to be my mom.

[girl_friday]

Tony...[She strokes his cheek gently, fingers light against his warm, wet skin.]

I don't try to be your mother. I try to be your--[A pause.]--I don't try to be your mother.

[fullondiva]

[He looks up at her, eyes wide and a little vague.]

Yeah. [His voice has gone soft as he looks at her. No, he doesn't think about her like a mother. Not at all.] Feels good.

[girl_friday]

I know.

[There's a fraction of hesitation. And then she's slid the towel off and discarded it, and she is getting into the tub with him.]

[fullondiva]

[This? This is so much better than being drunk and horny and alone. He watches as Pepper slides into the water with him, wondering for a second if he's dreaming again but deciding, no, this is way too Peppery to be his fantasy. Even if it's strikingly similar. He shifts to both make room for her and make sure she has to be close to him--it's complicated, but he's a genius. He brushes some hair back from her forehead, unconsciously mirroring her earlier gesture, but he gets her face wet in the process.]

[girl_friday]

[She just smiles, and she leans her face against his touch for a small moment.]

Come here. [Then she's pulled away and is drawing his head against her shoulder. Despite the warning not to be maternal, it's a comforting gesture, not a sexual one. Not yet, anyway.]

[fullondiva]

[Maybe not on her part. But he's naked, she's naked, and hell he's already got a hard-on for whatever reason. So he goes, and willingly, but his hand wanders under the surface of the water. Over her belly, as his face turns and his lips find damp skin.]

[girl_friday]

Tony.

[She doesn't stop him, though, and she doesn't sound all that offended. Maybe that's a better indication than anything else. For her own part, she simply strokes his hair, sighing softly against it and closing her eyes.] You'll be okay.

[fullondiva]

[Oh yeah. He has a feeling, a strong feeling now, that things are about to get a lot better. He shifts, turning even more into her, curled at her side but hardly infantile. She tastes like soap and salt. That's okay. His hand flattens on her skin. She's so warm. He wants so much. And maybe it wouldn't have mattered who had walked into the room, but it sure as hell matters that it was Pepper. Somehow, there's a logic in there. But Tony Stark, drunk and horny, needs no logic.]

[girl_friday]

[She should have locked the door, some vague voice in the back of her mind reminds her. It's still open.

And she's about to give into all this, ignore it, but the logical and still loudest part of her mind suddenly freezes at that.]

Go shut the door. [She pulls away sharply, hands on his chest and holding him out at arm's length. A clear message that nothing is happening until she's not paranoid about someone walking in.]

[fullondiva]

[He's confused at first, giving her puppy eyes and looking singularly forlorn as he tries to puzzle out why she is no longer under his lips.]

What if I slip? You came in last.

[But he's already moving. Pepper supposedly works for him, right? Maybe he'll remember that later.]

[girl_friday]

[Technically. Of course, he doesn't exactly have a way to pay her anymore, or a job for her to do. She considers it a hiatus of employment.]

If you can fly around the world in an iron suit, I think you can walk to the door without slipping. [She hopes, anyway.]

[fullondiva]

[Tony frowns over his shoulder. He's still sore about not being able to keep the suit. But he locks the door, without slipping, and makes his way back to the tub.

Entirely unashamed of his nakedness. Perhaps even, dare we say, strutting a little.]

[girl_friday]

[Although she doesn't seem embarrassed, she does keep her eyes on his face as he walks back over.]

Well done. [Pepper smiles at him, and she scoots over to give him room to climb back in.]

[fullondiva]

I'm drunk, not three.

[He slides back into the water, and his hands are back, sliding across her skin. He leans towards her, nuzzling her ear.]

I'm even better with keys.

[girl_friday]

And how are you with other openings?

[She slips one arm over his neck. She'll give drunken Tony a moment to ponder. In the meanwhile, she is stroking her finger against his neck.]

[fullondiva]

What do you think the key's for?

[He presses in close to her, legs tangling with hers, proof of his arousal hard against her thigh, lips now murmuring over her neck.]
