Happy day thirteen of Flufftober! Today’s prompt is “Hosting a Holiday Event.” It was also written to fill my A5: online interactions square for the Tony Stark Bingo.

Thanks as always to tinysugacube for her grammatical prowess, as well as to Marvin for his official seal of approval.

“You know you don’t have to do this, right?” Natasha adjusted Tony’s tie.

“Actually, I kind of do?” Tony shrugged. “We have to get some more positive PR after the Incident.”

“But a Christmas party? Really? That’s going to fix you going on Bluesky and calling the President of the United States a ‘despotic, wannabe king, mad with power, who has the personality of a moldy and unsalted pretzel’?”

“Firstly: he deserved it. Secondly: it’s a non-denominational winter celebration.”

“Christmas party.”

“Non-denominational—”

“Why’d I marry you again?”

“Something about loving me until death—”

“Oh, just shut up and kiss me.”
