so i’ve watched this scene like a million times and have only recently noticed pepper’s t-shirt
like she’s wearing this
and it fits her just fine, so maybe it’s not tony’s
imagine pepper being excited and comfortable with her new relationship with tony and going online shopping for cute science-related t-shirts and finds this one and immediately buys it
and when she wears it the first time tony looks at it and wants to roll his eyes so hard but instead this hearty laughs comes out of him and he closes his eyes while putting his head on her shoulder and thinks how much he loves this woman
On the one hand, I agree, but on the other I think pepper probably owned this shirt completely separate from her dating tony.
Like, she met tony because he made a math error that she caught. She’s working for SI, as his assistant, in a position that probably requires her to know a lot about what he does.
Pepper is probably a huge nerd in her own right.
It’s just that once she starts getting comfortable around tony, that’s when she stops being concerned about always looking like a 10000% efficient Business Woman and started wearing casual science joke shirts.
