“Why not you?” He tilted his head a little with a soft frown.
“What’s
there to get? I mean you just come out with me one id the days that’s
all.” He laughed softly and shook his head a little. “Come and enjoy the
high life and doesn’t have to happen again if you don’t want.”“Well…” Carlos couldn’t say yes. “Uh… you remember that suit that I got interviewed in? That’s my only nice thing to wear. I, uh… heh, don’t know if you want your partner to be showing up in bright primary colors…” Carlos’ voice dropped to a mumble. “Though those aren’t technically the true primary colors since they’re so dark…”
“Well, if you really want I can take you shopping too.” He replied to the other. “We can get you some nice suits, for business trips and everything if you want me to? I mean I’m paying you anyway.” He tilted his head a little and smiled kindly to the other.
Carlos’ head snapped back to looking at Mr Stark again, partially horrified at the suggestion. “That’s not what I –” he started to say, but stopped. This was Stark – the man was ridiculously generous, almost frivolously. And he was incredibly hard to say no to.
Carlos looked to the side, considering. “Well… If it’s going to be for work meetings too,” he murmured. He could accept it then, if it was technically a business expense.
Tony smiled softly hearing Carlos try to fight before giving in. He chuckled softly and lay a hand on his shoulder. “That’s the spirit. You need some suits and it can be a business expense, nothing out your paycheck or anything I promise.” He called for Happy to bring the car to the front so they could go. “Come on.”
Carlos looked at him. “What, right now?” he asked, a little surprised.
