His present gets delivered. The delivery people let him know that no it's definitely not the a mistake and that the note says it's a mini fridge, courtesy of Pepper Potts and Tony Stark oh and happy birthday! They hoist the orange mini fridge up to where Harley's told them to put it, and fill it with his favourite drinks. He gets a call too, the moment Pepper gets the notification that it's been delivered. "Hey, happy birthday."
@strgazers / it's harley's birthday!
the phone rings just mere moments after the guys who had delivered the mini fridge were out the door. he's still crouched in front of it, bright smile on his face as he answers the call. " thank you, pepper ! " voice was bubbling over with happiness. it was a perfect little addition to his workshop, nice little speck of colour too. " i love it. it's perfect. " he had mentioned mini fridges maybe once some months ago. hadn't even been sure anyone was listening but then again, he shouldn't be surprised. pepper was just attentive like that. " i can't believe you remembered i wanted one. "

"IT'S MORE LIKE A CASTLE," Steve says with a crooked smile. Buildings like this could house 10 families and more – and yet it's only Tony Stark living here. What the hell does he do with all that space? You don't need more than one kitchen, one living room, one bath – maybe a nursery for every kid, but Stark doesn't have children, either. It's probably a rich person thing, and thus nothing Steve will ever understand.
"I'll be right down. Thank you, Miss Potts," Steve repeats with a smile. He waits until she has left the room before he pulls the stained shirt over his head and puts on the new one. It feels exceptionally soft. Steve can't help but rub the fabric between his fingertips a couple of times. Upon closer inspection, a wall panel next to the wardrobe turns out to be a door with a spacious bathroom behind it. Steve tries to scrub the avocado stain out of the shirt in the sink, then leaves it to dry on the radiator. Before long, he's back downstairs in the enormous living room, feeling much better now that he's properly dressed again. "How old is this house, anyway? Did Tony build it? Or his father?"

@peperrood wanted a starter! -
"if i had a dollar for every time i've heard that-" he'd be a very rich man indeed --- richer than tony, probably ( though that might be a bit of a reach ). too rich to be dealing with this bullshit, anyway.

"Really. I want to. You guys have put so much effort into this whole party - it's the least I can do."
He wanted to do more. After everything that had become of the fall of SHIELD, everyone had had to take time to recover. But this party - a surprise party for Chloe - was a sign of things finally getting back to normal. Tony had basically paid for the whole thing (probably peanuts to him in the grand scheme of things), so providing some food alongside the already catered spread really wasn't much to offer in comparison.
"I just need numbers. Specifically the number of people with super metabolisms. Oh - and I do have a costume. Fantasy theme, yeah?"

@peperrood / pepper potts said : ❛ wait, you’re leaving already? ❜ ➜ peter parker
here and there, peter has spent many late nights working on presentations, and last minute solidworks project adjustments. working late doesn’t bother him at all. there’s less people carrying high grandeur in the offices, and it means his next paycheck will be a little bigger. he could use the money.
tonight isn’t that late of a night. there’s still some people in offices and working around tables. if anything, peter might even call it early. but his work for the day is done, he wrapped up work on a project the day before and now he’s just waiting on feedback for it. jacket in hand, backpack on their shoulders, they’re all but out the door. tugging at the straps he waited by the elevators, teetering slightly in place as the numbers rocketed up to the floor.
there’s a distinct sound of heels— pepper’s— behind him. he’s run into her plenty of those late nights, so it doesn’t surprise him when she asks about him leaving. they felt confident coming this far, but a shred of doubt starts to form. “yeah- that’s not- that’s not an issue, right? it’s just that i wrapped up everything else, and… there’s not much going on today, by the looks of it. not that people aren’t working, but-”

𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐇 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐃. twenty-eight hours and counting without sleep. She often found herself doing this now. It was a way to cope with everything and it was something she could easily hide. WELL, from most. She had noticed that Tony was starting to notice when she hit a certain level of tiredness and because of this, her coffee bean stash was running low. Hand moving to the jar until she heard a voice. Soft smile placed on lips as she looked over at the two coffees. A MIRACLE. She took the coffee and brought it up to her lips immediately. She needed to do something before her eyes started to droop when that happened she knew she would have to deal with lying to Tony about her sleep patterns (for the third time this week).
The coffee came with one drawback, now she had to wonder why did Pepper bring over two coffees for her? OH NO. had someone else figured out what was going on. NOPE, don’t fester on it. Sarah liked Pepper, she thought Pepper was very different to what she had expected and truly a nice person but Sarah was always a little wary with letting people in. The pain from drifting apart was not always worth it, and after all - they always drifted apart. Still, she had been silent for to long. ❛ thank you, you really didn’t have too, but thank you. ❜

@peperrood / new year, new sc.
" i am so sorry - " already called out as he jogs the rest of the way over to her, clearly in a rush and somewhat out of breath. this was a scheduled flight after all and he was late - albeit only fifteen minutes. he can see happy's disapproving look from the corner of his eye but his attention is on pepper. " i am so sorry, miss potts. my nanny cancelled last minute because she's sick and my wi my daughter's mother couldn't take her so it was a bit of a mess. i am really so sorry. "

@peperrood gets the starter we talked about 👀
STARK NEEDS TO LEAVE ON SHORT NOTICE — maybe something about his company, he doesn't elaborate — and leaves Steve alone in his huge mansion with the instruction to wait for Miss Potts. Steve finishes off all of the things Stark ordered for breakfast (you don't just waste food, after all, and this is the first time in months he gets the caloric intake a super soldier requires), and kind of walks around a little lost until he tries one door and the robot in the ceiling makes a honking noise and tells him he's not allowed to enter. So Steve has to awkwardly ask this Jarvis thing where the bathroom is and then make sure there aren't any cameras to, you know, record him peeing or something.
Unfortunately, he sees that he dribbled a bit of that weird green avocado stuff on his shirt when he washes his hands. It's not his shirt, to be precise, which means someone had to peel him out of his uniform and dress him, and Steve would rather not think about that, so he wets a little toilet paper and dabs at the stain while leaving the bathroom, and when he looks up, there is a lady near the front door. Steve blinks, hand automatically going up to tip his hat, only he doesn't wear a hat, he's standing there with bare feet and a stain on his shirt and wet toilet paper in his hand, and there is a lady. Steve feels a little mortified. "Uh, um — ma'am–?"

@peperrood asked “ why don’t you spend the night here? really, it’s no trouble to fix up the guest room, and we have plenty of spare pajamas and toiletries if that’s what’s bothering you! “ -
"It just feels like an intrusion," Rhodey's face does something strange, twisting into something inherently grateful but also regretful - he really doesn't want to bother Tony and Pepper when they're at home and out of the public eye, even with an invitation. Besides, it’s really not that far to his own apartment, especially if he takes an alternate mode of transport to driving. “You know, I think I’ll be okay? It’s not too late, we haven’t been drinking... I can make it home in time to get a good night before tomorrow.”

Oh boy - was that really the time? Howie had been so deep in his project that he didn't even realise how late it was until Pepper came down.
"Wait-- I thought JARVIS had decided to play some heavy rain sounds or something. That's really coming from outside?"
