Wakes up to the tune ‘Happy Birthday’ and also a party hat on his head. “Dum-E, get in the corner.” The machine lowered it’s arm as if to display sadness and rolled off towards the corner.

The mechanic stirs slightly, still reminding in his deep slumber. It’s going to take a lot more than a nudge to wake this genius up. x.com/ofpepperism/st…

Did she seriously think shaking him would wake him up? Poor Pepper. Another failed attempt. Perhaps one more try should do the trick. x.com/ofpepperism/st…

Surprisingly, the light was enough this time. When the brightness reflected into his closed eyes, the genius began to groan as he slowly woke up. Not to mention Pepper is also shaking him. “Five more minutes.” x.com/ofpepperism/st…

His eyes remained heavy, looking as if they were still closed as Pepper ‘babied’ the man she called ‘boss’. At least he managed to keep his head up the entire time. Bonus points. “I don’t drool.” x.com/ofpepperism/st…

He remained in that sleepy state as he listened to her response. It looked as if he was sleeping sitting up. But every so slowly, he was opening his eyes. “For what, exactly?” The tired mechanic asked. x.com/ofpepperism/st…

“Cancel the meeting.” Tony immediately said. How much drool did he have on his face? It seemed as if she was cleaning up a pool. “I have plans.” x.com/ofpepperism/st…

Blinking, he allowed his eyes to adjust to the bright light in the room. “I made you CEO for a reason.” He answered in ways of regarding her intelligence, but also in means of allowing him to do whatever he wanted. x.com/ofpepperism/st…

“The calibration system for Mark 44 is off. I can’t seem to configure it.” The mechanic answers as he proceeds to rub his eyes. “I know. I know. It’s unhealthy.” x.com/ofpepperism/st…

Pepper always cared for the genius when no one else would, especially himself. Even though he never thanked her for it, he hoped she knew how much she meant to him. Tony tugged the blanket closer to him, only to then lean back in his chair with a sigh. “I can’t stop...” x.com/ofpepperism/st…

The man shook his head as if leaving his projects alone would result in them being lost or taken. “I’m fine. I’m good. I got enough rest judging from how many towels it took to clean my face. Go home, Pep.” x.com/ofpepperism/st…

“Pepper, listen to me, I’m /fine/. See?” Stark then proceeded to demonstrate that he was in perfect health. “Perfectly fine.” x.com/ofpepperism/st…

His eyes narrowed slightly towards the tall female. She was right as always. But he would be stubborn about it. “Carry me?” Tony said. It was a tease, but all the same serious. He was lazy. x.com/ofpepperism/st…

Groaning, he slowly pushed himself up onto his feet, taking Pepper’s hand in aid. “A simple ‘no’ would have been enough.” x.com/ofpepperism/st…

Whistles.

“...” x.com/ofpepperism/st…

Whistles again. x.com/ofpepperism/st…

Just whistles louder. He was truly trying to annoy her. x.com/ofpepperism/st…
