Tony beamed at Johnny and nodded. “I did!” he hadn’t actually, but he was always up for teasing Steph. Tony shook Johnny’s hand out of habit, and because being rrude would upset Pep and Steph both. He didn’t bother trying to shake Loki’s hand. It was a culture thing, Thor didn’t shake hands either. Well, he did, if you offered but he got a little too eager about the earth custom and tended to crush people’s hands. Steph and Pepper tended to just let everyonne know not to offer to shake hands with the Asgardians.<br/><br/>“if Johnny’s taking his shirt off, can I take my tie off?” Tony asked Pepper. Well, at least he hadn’t asked to take his pants off. “I don’t know. I think it would be quite the show to see Johnny wandering around all these fussy folks without a shirt on.” Coulson admitted, as bland as he always was. They where used to his dry humor by now and Steph could even see the laughter in Phil’s eyes.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>“she does look lovely.” Loki agreed before smiling at Pepper. “that color looks most dashing on you.” he admitted. “did you have much trouble with Tony?” he and Pepper got along very well. Loki didn’t try to date Pepper but he did offer her fancy ‘friend dates’ when Tony otherwise refused to go, same as he did with Steph. Loki was pretty much the only cultured one of the… well he wasn’t really part of the group, but he was always up for Sushi and Theater and five star restaurants. If you wanted a high end date, Loki was the one to ask.<br/><br/>“oh good.” Tony sighed, relaxing at the promise of no speeches. “and I never argue with Pep about fashion.” he sniffed, insulted by the idea he’d be ‘difficult’ for Pep… the fact he had tried to dress himself this morning absolutely didn’t count.<br/><br/>“oh good! I remembered something!” Tony said, looking spectacularly proud of himself. He had been trying very, very hard. People were hard for the genius. Pepper had just taken to making Jarvis remind Tony of things, such as her allergy to strawberries and birthdays, anniversaries and other important things that Tony would feel guilty for forgetting.<br/><br/>“maybe I do want to get into a fight with them.” he grumbled, scowling at the Press and the paparazzi who where paying just a little too much attention to Pepper and Steph for anyone's liking. He was very glad when they all went up to the private box where the others where waiting. Bucky Barnes standing there looking very uncomfortable with a champagne flute in his metal hand as he looked around the box, looking absolutely lost. He was still struggling a lot, and without one of the team standing right next to him, he tended to look like a lost puppy. "Of course i'm going to the ballgame!" Tony huffed. "Loki and Pepper are going to some Spa thing while we go scream at the umpire."  Tony admitted with a grin. "i might even have gotten Buckaroo to join us!" Bucky turned at the sound of his name.<br/><br/>“Jesus.” Bucky said when he noticed Steph, eyebrows shooting into his hairline. “what kind of blackmail did they get on you?” he wondered, looking rather amazed she’d been talked into a dress at all, let alone one like THAT. Phil just looked amused at the winter soldier who looked like he wanted to drag Steph away right then and there. Loki looked very amused by all the gaping and he pressed a kiss to Stephanie’s hand. “I will go and get some snacks and some drinks.” he offered, sweeping away to get something that Steph and Johnny would actually like. He knew Tony would have made sure their favorites where included.
