Sometimes I cry because IM1 Tony is so fluffy.
Whatever you do don’t think about baby Tony Stark at MIT who is a puffball of human being. Rhodey swaddles him in blankets more than once.
OH GOD COLLEGE BABIES NOOO.
Ok but think of this: a scenario where Tony is at a party and gets wasted, passes out somewhere. Someone finds Rhodey’s number on his phone (Rhodey is his speed dial) and is like “dude come pick up your Tony.”
And of course Rhodey shows up in full tilt WORRIED MAMA BEAR MODE, carts Tony off, who’s flopping around like a limp fish and clinging to Rhodey like his life depends on him.
Rhodey takes him home, tucks him in with a bunch of blankets while Tony murmurs equations in his sleep, and Rhodey just pats his fluffy head and lets him sleep.
:):):):):)
Yesss.
Tony is cuddly with Rhodey once he’s knows it’s okay to be. Like every opportunity. Lap sitting? Yup. Leaning? Yup. Petting? Please Rhodey, please? And Rhodey does because Tony is a attention and affection staved sweetheart who you better not touch otherwise Rhodes will mess you up.
Tony is so touch starved because he’s had so very few people willingly give him genuine, physical affection in the way that Rhodey does 🙂
Y’okay, but now I need college!Rhodey deciding that OBVIOUSLY Tony needs to come home with him for winter break because Howard and Maria are going off on some destination vacation thing and Tony is pretending it’s all no big, he’ll just knock around the mansion and relax for a couple of weeks, it’s fine, Rhodey, he’s fine and Rhodey just LOSES HIS DAMN CHILL like OH HELL NO you are coming home with me and help decorate the tree (no you cannot overclock the damn fairy lights, what is wrong with you?) and help prank my sister and Mama Rhodes is gonna feed up your skinny little white ass and we’re gonna all be crammed in like sardines and it’s going to be noisy and my Uncle Rupert is gonna annoy the fuck out of everyone but he’ll sneak us the spiked eggnog even tho you’re still a minor and I’m only 19, and you’re gonna love every fucking second of it, YOU GOT IT, STARK? and Tony is just shocked, SHOCKED that anyone would want him around for the holidays, i mean, sure, sometimes he’s useful, but the holidays are supposed to be about family (not HIS family, but, y’know, IN GENERAL) and Rhodey gives him the worst noogie of his life and sighs all put-upon and says “we ARE family you idiot now shut up and pack”
