"No comment." He found that to be his newest excuse lately. He had brought it home from the recent press conferences, no doubt. Tony kept his head tucked close to his shoulder to watch Pepper carefully from afar. She was avoiding establishing any kind of eye contact but she had to know he was waiting for a reaction. He was exhausted, his stomach had its share of aches and the light-head feeling was ever-present, but this was far too entertaining.
No harm, no foul. She didn't seem to be taking it well, but that didn't stop his smirk from spreading.
"Should be a relief for you," he inched himself back with his arms to finally do his part in helping her with the pants, laughing to himself. When his head found the pillow he let out a sigh of relief. Was that relaxation? Continuing to watch her, a small smile returned. "You're not mad. Don't try to be- it gives you wrinkles."
He vaguely remembered his mother saying something like that while rubbing some kind of cream on her face. Very vaguely.
