What calms your muse down after a bad day?
Not thinking about whatever made his day badāalthough Tony isnāt really a ācalm downā sort of person. Heās more a ārev his brain up to forget about itā sort of person. Healthy? No. Effective? Also no. But I never said he was emotionally intelligent or particularly mentally healthy.
There are a lot of distractions that can get him out of his head for a bit, work being foremost, but also, intense exercise, vigorous sex, a loud party, fighting some bad guys, getting into an emotionally heated disagreement with someone he has issues with (AKA he doesnāt care what they think of him afterward), something that could give him an adrenaline rush, like driving his car way too fast or taking a new suit out for a test flight (maybe before itās really ready). Yep, model of mental health, he is.
Ways your muse says I love you:
Heās a big fan of the grand gestureāwhich could be anything from having a message of love skywritten across the sky, crashing some satellite debris into the atmosphere just to have a shooting star for them to wish on during a romantic rooftop dinner or spontaneous trips to exotic places all the way to buying out entire restaurants for a private dinner, filling the house with roses, or giving expensive jewels or other gifts. The man likes a grand gesture, okay? But there are smaller ways, like having dinner there and ready when his significant other gets home from a difficult day or giving a foot massage or having a nice bath ready with candles and champagne. He likes the big showy things because he wants big reactions but that doesnāt mean he isnāt there for the little things too.
The thing(s) your muse thinks about before falling asleep:
It depends on whether some world-ending event has recently gone down, in which case, heās probably thinking about how to prevent the next one. When heās more relaxed, heās probably thinking about improvements to the suit or his significant other but it could be any number of things from SI business to a trip or some rising baddie in the world. He has a lot to think about!
Something your muse could never forgive:
Being unfaithful. Cheating behind his back is a hard no. Betrayals of other types are also high on the list but it depends on the person and the betrayal. The more intimate the betrayal, the less likely he is to forgive it.
How your muse responds to being helped/taken care of:
That really depends on whoās doing the helping and caring. Generally, Iād say heās pretty bad at asking for help, but accepting it, maybe a little better if itās offered not as something he needs but as something they want to do.
Being cared for by a significant other is different. It really depends on the level of closeness in the relationship, though. The more intimacy and trust built, the more likely he is to open up and allow someone to care for him emotionally. Less trust and intimacy, and he might only let them care for him physically and keep the emotional stuff off the table. And if he has no trust built with someone, or he actively distrusts them, he would fight them helping or caring for him tooth and nail.
