"Cal," Tony asks as they pull into his driveway, "anybody ever told you you drive like a maniac?"

Tony ducks.

[poeticterms]

"I thought I told you to leave me out of this," Obadiah says amicably, catching the pillow as it ricochets off the back of Tony's armchair.

Cal glances at him.

"Not my fault he ducked."

[poeticterms]

"Wasn't you I was talking to."

[toblameforit]

"Kiss my ass," he says, rolling his eyes.

"I can take that off your hands if you want," Cal offers, but doesn't actually move.

[poeticterms]

"Thank you," he says, leaning forward and extending the pillow with a conspiratorial grin.

[americas-son.livejournal.com]

"What, I'm supposed to move?"

Cal gives Stane a look designed to suggest that he is being boring. It's mostly for Tony's benefit.

[poeticterms]

"Have it your way." Obadiah sits back and tosses the pillow underhand at Cal's face.

That Cal was expecting, and catches it easily.

"That wasn't so hard, was it?"

Then he slings it at Tony again.

[toblameforit]

He ducks again.

[poeticterms]

He catches it again, though he has to reach farther this time.

Cal waits.

Expectantly.

[poeticterms]

"Why am I contributing to this?" he wonders, tossing Cal the pillow. Again.

[toblameforit]

"Because it's hilarious."

[americas-son.livejournal.com]

"And you're a good sport," Cal chips in brightly.

And then he - doesn't throw the pillow.

[toblameforit]

"Oh good," he says dryly, "I'm safe now."

[americas-son.livejournal.com]

"Well, I can't do it now," Cal explains with great seriousness. "You're expecting it."

[toblameforit]

"Sure. Lemme just let down my guard so you can catch me by surprise."

[americas-son.livejournal.com]

"That'd be helpful," Cal deadpans, "thanks."

[toblameforit]

He starts humming along with the Tetris theme, slightly off-key.

[americas-son.livejournal.com]

Cal throws the pillow.

It's mostly to save them all from the humming.

This time he experiments with bouncing it off the ceiling.

[toblameforit]

From the ceiling, it bounces neatly off Tony's head.

"Ow," he says mildly, not even looking up from his game.

[poeticterms]

"They have thick skulls in the Stark family," Obadiah confides.

Cal has about a second to be pleased with himself - it actually worked! - before Stane speaks up.

"Good thing I wasn't trying to kill him with it, then," he can't help saying, a bit dryly.
