cap_ironman | casual conversation topics for Steve and Tony

This seems like a silly thing to post about, but I swear, it's one of my biggest tripping points when I'm writing certain stories. And I'm not writing a story currently that requires this, but I've been pondering it lately and thought it might be fun for people to speculate on. And hey, if it turns out to be a jumping off point for discussion, so much the better!

Anyway, here's the question I've been pondering...

If Steve and Tony were just hanging out, talking casually (i.e., not about the latest threat or any other Avengers business), what would they talk about?

Sports? If so, which ones? Books? What kind? I can't really see Tony reading much fiction... Movies? Throwaway canon comments suggest that Tony, at least, doesn't go to many. I'm certain they'd sometimes talk about politics and world events, but I think those discussions could get a little heavy for casual conversation. Would they have philosophical debates? About what ideas? I doubt either of them has much time for hobbies, but can you think of one that either of them might like enough to squeeze in a few minutes for here and there? (Well, aside from Steve's art and Tony's tinkering, which are obvious ones.) Would they gossip about their fellow superheros?

Brainstorm away!

But would Tony type out his letters? *shudders at the blasphemy*

I think he would start that way, but as they got more intimate, he would start to want to put more into them, and once he gave in and wrote one by hand, it would be a quick slide into getting them perfect.

Not to mention what Pepper and the other Avengers would think of it...

I think Pepper would think it was wonderful. *g* The other Avengers would probably roll their eyes. And depending on when it was set and which Avengers were involved, might tease them to death for it. *g*
