shut up bruce. i do what i want

[whatidodefines]

Well, look who remembered I exist? I was beginning to wonder.

And while your attention is flattering, I don't think I need it nearly as much as you think. Really, Gotham is where I belong and where I'm needed.

What would Alfred do without me?

[whatidodefines]

I'm not uncomfortable in anyway, just worried you're trying to start a rebellion.

[attheheart]

Of the personal assistants?

Whoops, you got me. Whatever shall I do.

[ There's no sarcasm about that one. ]

[whatidodefines]

Maybe it's time to start job-hunting.

[he knows how much you love that]

[attheheart]

As if any of the spoken would ever let that happen.

[ You too, Bruce. You know you'd hire her. 8,D ]

[whatidodefines]

[...but he can't fire alfred :CCCC]

Sounds like you're planning for something for something that you don't think will happen. [Shrug] And you're the one planning the rebellion, you'll have to take in consideration all the variables.

[attheheart]

You're better at deflecting than he is.

I didn't think it was humanely possible. How does Lucius get you to any meetings?

[whatidodefines]

[Grin]

I just sleep through them.

[attheheart]

Why am I not surprised?

[whatidodefines]

I wasn't aware that I was supposed to surprise you.

[attheheart]

I'm curious, do you ever give anybody a straight answer?

[whatidodefines]

Occasionally, but where's the fun in that?

[Aka nope. Never. He's got ten million acts and a billion more reasons to hate himself. So why ever be honest?]

[attheheart]

Maybe having a decent conversation that doesn't end in a question?

[whatidodefines]

We are having a conversation, just not the one you want.

[attheheart]

Not one that you particularly want either, given your apparent interest.


I'd better go.

[whatidodefines]

I never meant to give off that impression. [he kinda did. honest conversation isn't his ~thing~] Either way, it's been a pleasure, Miss Potts.

[And it actually has. It's nice to know someone outside of Alfred worries about him]

[shaves]

Pepper! Heyyyy, there you are. And look! It's ... what's your name, sorry?

[ Snapping his fingers at you, Bruce. NOPE, IT'S OKAY, he's got it. IS THIS WHAT YOU DID WITH ALDRITCH, PEP??? WOW. ]

Right, right, you're the guy that's still not as rich as me. Aim for the stars! You'll get there one day, buddy.

[whatidodefines]

Anthony. [He says that all smiles as if they've been friends since Forever] I didn't realize we were comparing paychecks. Doesn't Thor make more money than you, anyway?

[Really, he doesn't give any fucks. And he's wondering why you would.] Either way, it's not a competition. I'm glad your business is doing well.

[attheheart]

[ Aldrich was less classy and more creepy as hell. ]

And here I thought the neither of you still had any sort of manners, I'm proven both wrong and right at the same time.

[shaves]

We're being completely civil, just like you two were.

[attheheart]

You do know we have different definitions of civil, don't you?

[shaves]

When he shows me his brain, I'll let you know.

[shaves]

Thor's a prince, also an alien without an earth-bound bank account so he's technically dirt poor.

[ He doesn't give fucks, he just doesn't want you to show Pepper your brain or something. Shut up, his life is weird. Bad Bruce (guess who Good Bruce is) is like Justin Hammer if he wasn't so sleazy, so he kind of likes him but it is not this day. ]

Don't you have five billion girlfriends to flirt with, instead of exercising your skills on my CEO?

[whatidodefines]

[jeez bro calm your horses.]

I wasn't flirting with your CEO. I was being friendly. [It's the truth. He may be a playboy but he has his limits.] You may want to consider giving her vacation time, though. I hear she plans on revolting.

[shaves]

[ No, your face is too nice suspiciously maybe possibly nicer than Tony's and also you aren't an asshat. ]

She always revolts, it's like professional foreplay.

[whatidodefines]

Well then, it's safe to say your relationship with her is in no danger from me.

[REALLY. IT ISN'T.

CALM THE FUCK DOWN.

HE CAN'T EVEN WIN OVER THE GIRL HE'S BEEN PINING FOR HIS ENTIRE LIFE OKAY. HE DOESN'T WANT PEPPER POTTS.]
