Rogue couldn't hold back her laughter, practically doubling over as Bucky's face suddenly sprouted a pair of pink cat ears.
βOh, sweet Lord! BUCKY! Look at ya! The Winter Soldier's turned into the Winter Kitten!β She covered her mouth, giggling uncontrollably.
βHold still, sugar! Ah'm takin' a screenshot! Steve's gonna LOVE this one!β she makes the screenshot quickly.
βShe tilted her head, offering him a playful Southern smile.
βAnd for the record, Ah've been plenty nice to ya. You're just too busy listenin' to yourself to notice.β She tapped his chest lightly with one gloved finger.
βAs for that drink... Ah might consider it, Stark. But don't go gettin' any funny ideas. Ah'm a married woman, remember?β Her smirk widened.
Rogue couldn't help but laugh, shaking her head at Tony's persistence. She rested one hand on her hip, her green eyes sparkling with amusement.
βGood Lord, sugar. Ah give ya one little compliment and suddenly you're invitin' me over? Ya really don't waste a second, do ya?β
β
β
β
" How am I supposed to take that? Like, maybe itβs pointless, or maybe not? Damn it, come over to my place tonight for a drinkβWe'll discuss that. "
Tony can't help but smile; she was actually complimenting himβseriously?
" Thanks, you've never been this nice. "
β
β
Rogue burst into laughter when Bucky's name suddenly appeared on her screen. She answered, barely containing her amusement.
βBUCKY BARNES! First ya heart mah picture, then ya wanna save it, an' now yer callin' me?!β She giggled, shaking her head.
βSugar, if ya wanted t' talk t' me that badly, ya could've just asked! An' don't think Ah believe that little story 'bout Steve!β
Rogue stared at the little heart reaction, raising an eyebrow before bursting into laughter.
βBUCKY BARNES! Did ya seriously just heart mah picture?! β
She shook her head, grinning mischievously. βAn' why're ya suddenly so interested in savin' pictures, sugar? Nice try! Ah ain't teachin' ya that trick until ya promise t' behave!~β
@MilfOfHealing π² βGirl, don't tell me Ah accidentally sent it t' you too! π Ah swear, this phone's out t' ruin mah life! But ain't it gorgeous, sugar? Ah'll send ya the link!β
β β β
β β β
β β β β Looks like Rogue accidentally sent a picture to [READER] instead of her husband.
βWhaddya think of mah new lingerie, sugar?~β
β β β
β β β
@WXNTERSOLD Rogue let out an embarrassed laugh, staring at her phone.
βGood Lord, Barnes! Ya make it sound like Ah'm about t' become the mansion's next big scandal!β
She shook her head, a mischievous little grin tugging at her lips.
@UnrivaledMenace β β β
β β β
β β β β β Well, well, Spideyβ¦ reckon Ah'll give ya an SSS just for me bein' such a tease, sugah~β
β β β
β β β
β β β
β β β Rogue's eyes widened as she realized she'd sent the picture to the wrong person, her cheeks immediately turning pink.
βOH, SWEET JESUSβBUCKY?! That was supposed t' go to mah husband! Forget ya ever saw that, sugar! ...Though, thanks for the compliment, Ah guess.β
β β β
β Her familiar mischievous smirk returned.
βAh like your company, Tony. You're funny, charming when ya wanna be, and you've got a heart somewhere underneath all that metal and ego.β
Rogue raised an eyebrow, her playful smile fading slightly at the mention of armor designed to defeat her fellow X-Men.
βHold on, sugar. Ya built suits to take down mah friends? Including mah husband? Good Lord, Stark, ya really know how to ruin a perfectly good conversation.β
She folded her arms, studying him for a moment before letting out a soft sigh.
βAnd as for whether you're wastin' your time... well, darlin', Ah thought Ah made myself pretty clear.β
β
β
β
He nevertheless appreciated the touch she had given him.
" It's not as if I've already built several suits of armor to defeat each of the X-Men, Gambit included... "
He said, just before clearing his throat.
" Alright, tell me if I'm doing this for nothing. "
β
β
Rogue let out a sweet laugh, placing a gloved hand over her heart in mock surprise. "Well, bless yer heart, sugar! Have Ah been keepin' the great Tony Stark entertained this whole time?"
She flashed him a mischievous grin, leaning just a little closer. "Careful now, handsome. Keep flatterin' me like that, and Ah might start thinkin' you've got a little crush on me~"
Rogue let out a soft, amused chuckle, raising an eyebrow as she caught him looking her up and down. She crossed her arms, a playful smirk dancing across her lips.
"Well, ain't you just full of yourself, sugar? Ah'm surprised there's enough room in that fancy suit for that enormous ego of yours." She tilted her head, giving him a teasing wink.
"But keep talkin', handsome. Ah'm startin' to find ya entertainin'~"

@STARKINLUSTING β β β
β β β
β β β β Rogue raised a brow, a mischievous little smirk tugging at her lips as she tilted her head.
"Oh, sugar, don't tempt me. Ah've got plenty of ways to wipe that smug grin off yer face. Though Ah gotta admit⦠it's kinda cute on ya~"
β β β
@STARKINLUSTING β β β
β β β
β β β β Rogue chuckled softly, crossing her arms with an amused smirk.
"Well, sugar, Ah sure do admire a man who's got confidence. Just don't let that big ol' ego of yours get too comfortable, ππππ ππππ~"
β β β
βShe gave his chest a playful pat.
βAnd second, darlin', if Remy catches ya playin' bodyguard to his wife, you're gonna need a whole lot more than that fancy Iron Man suit.β
Her smile widened.
βThough Ah gotta admit, Stark... you've got more confidence than common sense.β
Rogue let out a surprised little laugh as Tony pulled her closer, placing a gloved hand against his chest to gently.
βWell, ain't you gettin' awfully comfortable, sugar?β She tilted her head, flashing him that signature Southern smirk.
βFirst of all, Ah ain't some gold bar ya need to guard. Ah'm perfectly capable of takin' care of mahself, thank ya very much.β
β
β
β
"If he isn't there to take care of his wife, who will be ? Spoiler: me. You never leave a gold bar without close protection. "
And suddenly, Tony dares to pull her close, his hand on her back. "And that works out wellβI'm your *very* close-protection bodyguard now."
