Regardless of the distance they were from their original home, this place already felt like home with Pepper here, and the newest addition to their eclectic family helped to solidify that feeling. He was always expected to do the stupid thing, in his usual Tony Stark flair, but Tony would always ultimately come back to Pepper. It was the way their universe actually functioned.
Tony had maneuvered his body so he could still see the television decently enough, though that wasn't going to matter soon anyway, because if Pepper kept running her fingers through his hair like that, he was going to conk out. And he could see himself demanding she not move from that spot until he finished his nap. And tummy rubbing. There might be a demand followed by puppy eyes.
He'd started to kick off his trainers, the old and worn shoes hitting the floor with a thunk, and he drew his legs up closer to him as he snuggled Pepper's leg more, disturbing Salt long enough for her to pat him gently on his forehead to promptly stop moving. Can't bother the princess when she naps. Kind of like him.
When he'd perfectly repositioned himself, legs tucked and his hand coming up to rest on Pepper's knee, he sighed as her fingers managed to hit a spot or two on his head that sent a nice little feeling down his body. Tony hadn't been babied like this in years, and he didn't want to admit out loud that he loved this kind of thing. "If we live like this for long enough, we can be declared as a domestic partnership and you have half custody of our child. That means we have to stay together...you know, for the kids," he joked as his hand on her knee began to softly stroke her through the material of her skirt. Eventually, his hand made its way down the length of her leg until he could feel skin, and he lazily ran his fingers and thumb in a circular motion right there, just because he found it comforting.
