Ironhusband headcanons or ironspouses (Pepper/Tony/Rhodey) headcanons.
!!!! I'm giving you both bcuz yes
Rhodey saw this tiny ass little idiot at MIT and just. didn't want to deal with him. have you seen Tony? he's a dumbass with the highest iq in the room, Rhodey wasn't about to handle it
unfortunately Tony saw Rhodey and latched onto him fucking immediately, so he had to
tony didn't have other friends, but Rhodey's friends were cool with him, and he eventually just got used to bailing his little idiot out of less than ideal situations
that's kind of how they got together in the first place. Rhodey was pissed about whatever Tony did, and Tony just kind of kissed him to make it better
it did not make it better
(they kept kissing anyways)
when Pepper started working for SI, Rhodey praised his lucky stars and got her phone number immediately. they became best friends so fast, Tony got whiplash
the two of them have one night a month where they get together and drink and complain about Tony's antics
it wasn't until they both bailed tony out one night that anything happened. he proposed it to Rhodey one night in bed bcuz they both make him feel safe and cared for, and hell, they're already friends, what's the harm in trying
turned out those nights Pepper and Rhodey spent together (although Tony joins them more now) were a lot better when it wasn't so innocent fun
