“Well hopefully I can manage myself to feel good every time I see you,” he teased, knowing full well that he would. “I’ll let you know, but I doubt you’ll bother me. I need someone to ‘bother’ me. To keep me from forgetting to eat, from drinking too much… I’m not all that good on my own, either. It’s just, no one ever sees that. But if that’s a problem… I’ll work harder on it.”
“I could fall right in love with you very easily, Tony Stark,” Summer murmured, smiling down at the table. She took another bite to keep herself from saying anything more, but threw a little pulse of how happy she was feeling to Tony, shaping it so he could know it was her feeling. Swallowing, she added, “You’ll make JARVIS jealous of me.”
Tony rubbed the back of his neck, grinning warmly, and feeling a certain warmth in his chest. “I’ll catch you if you do,” he teased, knowing just how easily he could do very much the same. “JARVIS’ll get over it. It’d rather not see me lonely anyway.”
“Is that so?” she chuckled. She fished around in the bowl for the last bits of meat, avoiding looking at Tony, because she knew if she did she’d just start giggling and not stop.
