[darjeeling]

{ the gift giving meme } { how to play } 1. Post your characters along with any preferences in the subject 2. RNG yourself or choose a number between 1-15 and tag others. 3. Feel free to include pics/links or write the notes that go with their gifts! { tie it up in a pretty little bow } 1. 'Tis The Season! → It's some holiday or another, and you don't want to be the one who breaks tradition by not giving a gift. 2. Happy Birthday! → Another year older! Is it their sweet sixteenth? The no-holds-barred-finally-legal 21? Or that stately eighty candles that might set the cake on fire... 3. Sweet Valentine → Not that you need a commercialized excuse to butter up your sweetheart, but if the heart-decorated chocolate truffle fits... 4. Anniversary → You didn't forget this year! But seeing as how it only comes once a year, you'd better make it fantastic or you'll be sleeping on the couch... again :( 5. Wedding Bells → It's the bride and groom's happiest day and you want to give them something to commemorate this momentous occasion! 6. Housewarming → Those new neighbors of yours are still getting settled. Why not give them something to welcome them to the neighborhood? 7. What Bribery? → It never hurts to get on someone's good side, right? Especially if they could make your life miserable if they don't like you... 8. Get Well Soon! → Someone's stuck in the hospital and you just know that a gift will put a smile back on their face. 9. Going Away → They have to leave and you can't go with them, but you'll wait until they return. Give them something to remind them of you while they're far away. 10. I Miss You! → Has it been a week? A year? However long they've been away, you want them to know you're still thinking of them. 11. I'm So Sorry → You've screwed up big time and apologies just don't feel good enough, but you'll give them a token of your sincerity. 12. You're Appreciated! → There's just no one else like that person! You know everything they've done for you and others and you to show your appreciation. 13. Glorious Victory! → Hail the conquering hero! It doesn't matter if they've run a marathon or usurped a kingdom, this calls for mighty spoils! 14. Secret Admirer~ → You haven't quite worked up the courage to give them something in person, and hopefully they don't recognize your handwriting... 15. Wildcard → Anything else, go crazy with it.

... Carry on.

[hulkbusted]

And you just threatened a repulsor to my face.

You know how to make a guy want to hurry home.

[shaves]

I had the tea stocked up in the cupboard. I don't even like tea and I know three new kinds.

[hulkbusted]

Have you been sleeping?

[shaves]

I've slept.

[hulkbusted]

There are Tony imprints in the garage couch, aren't there?

[shaves]

Hey, I showered too.

[hulkbusted]

I'm making you sleep in a bed when I get home.

[A pause for consideration in which guinea pig squeals can be heard in the background.]

Well, eventually sleep.

[shaves]

You can make me do anything you want, big guy.

[ Poor Bruce, locked away without anyone to flirt with. ]

[hulkbusted]

Where would the fun be in that?

[He's very particular in his flirting anyway, but he has his favorite flirt partner on the phone and things are looking up.]

Pepper and I need our excuses to team up on you.

[shaves]

Depends on the context, I don't know whether to be terrified or thrilled.

[hulkbusted]

Yes.

[shaves]

Are you giggling?

[hulkbusted]

You must be hearing the guinea pig.

[shaves]

Uh huh. Nice save, Banner. Is there anything you want stocked up for when you get back? Before you say no ala Oliver Twist post-rapped knuckles, you're stuck in a room with only a rodent for company. You deserve a treat.

[hulkbusted]

There's that one caterer that does real food packaged for the microwave? A few days worth of that would be good, because other than that, I want you to take care of all your public appearances and in-person signings over the next week and clear your schedule for a few days after that. Then I'll have what I want when I get home.

[shaves]

I can do that. The new PA is fun! She only cried once, it's kind of a record.

[hulkbusted]

You aren't filling this one's head with stories about how easy it is to piss me off are you?

[shaves]

She trembles like a leaf. [ That answers that. ] Not like Pepper at all.

[hulkbusted]

I wish you'd stop using me as the boogeyman.

[shaves]

It was a test. She passed, by the way, yay for her. I get the feeling I've hired Pepper-Lite, I could do whatever I wanted and she wouldn't be able to really put her foot down.

[hulkbusted]

By passed you mean she didn't quit?

How does Pepper feel about the description of "Pepper-lite"?

[shaves]

She hasn't yet. Feels like I should throw her a real curveball to round her out.

... We don't tell Pepper about her nicknames, have you learned nothing?

[hulkbusted]

If that curveball is my naked ass you'll be sleeping on the couch in the garage again.

And I thought you'd learned that Pepper and I have an arrangement with just enough transparency to maintain our mutual respect and friendship while dealing with you.

[shaves]

Bruce, you're meant to be on my side.
