the season to be jolly

[keyed_up]

All supernatural excitement aside, it's almost Christmas!

Soph shows up on Tony's doorstep with a bag of gingerbread house ingredients and a big smile. "Hi Jarvis! Where's Tony?" she asks.

Comments

Tony is giggling pretty hard himself, in between the exceptionally silly faces he makes as he tries to bring his tongue and the icing into contact.

[keyed_up]

"I don't think you can reach, Tony."

[toblameforit]

"I cannot reach," he agrees mournfully.

[keyed_up]

She's very tempted to lick the frosting off his nose for him.

Instead she sticks out a hand, wipes it off with her thumb, and licks it only when it has been successfully transferred. "There you go. Continue to 'not build the house with your face'. I know you're putting up walls with the strength of your eyelids when I'm not looking."

[toblameforit]

Tony cracks up all over again.

[keyed_up]

[toblameforit]

Yep. Still giggling.

[keyed_up]

Soph recovers enough to add a kitkat headboard to the gingerbed.

[toblameforit]

"Gingerbed," says Tony, which sets him off yet again.

[keyed_up]

He is funny and he is cute and he is both of those things at the same time and Soph laughs with utter helplessness.

[toblameforit]

Tony is in pretty much the same boat here! Pffffffff gingerbed.

[keyed_up]

Eventually Soph gets up and giggles her way to the dish cupboard and gets herself a glass of water, which serves to calm her down with only a little accidental inhalation and coughing.

[toblameforit]

Tony is also more or less recovered by that point.

"We're the greatest," he says beamily.

[keyed_up]

"The very best!" agrees Soph. "Like no one ever was."

[toblameforit]

He sporfles.

[keyed_up]

"If you could have Pokémon what ones would you want?"

[toblameforit]

"Probably a Charizard," he says. "Charizard is awesome."

[keyed_up]

"I'd want that fluffy sheep kind."

[toblameforit]

"Mareep? Yeah, they're pretty adorable."

[keyed_up]

"Yeah, those! They look soft."

[toblameforit]

"Very huggable. Unless they decide to electrocute you."

[keyed_up]

"Well, obviously if I had a Mareep it'd love me and never zap me," says Soph.

[toblameforit]

"Obviously. Because you are naturally lovable."

[keyed_up]

"I'd be like Pokémon catnip. Sheepnip? Mareepnip? I'd be very popular, is my point."

[toblameforit]

Tony giggles.
