At first, it was completely innocent. He found that Agent Cheesecake did not seem to mind so much when he rambled on about his collection of Captain America’s paraphenalia. She mostly just smiled at him, eyes a little blank and occassionally nodded her head. The few times they had left headquarters together, people on the street tended to give Coulson either a look of confusion or one of accomplishment. At first, he did not understand the sudden interest he held with the public at large. It hit him on a tuesday, when he was writing up yet another report about a pratical joke Barton had pulled that went horribly awry. People were looking at him that way, because they believed he was in some sort of romantic relationship with Agent Cheesecake.
His mind dismissed the idea, after all it was rediculous to be in any sort of relationship with an android, wasn’t it? He still decided to spend much of his down time around her, mostly because she was more pleasant with him that most of the other Agents. She agreed that Tony Stark was highly overrated, that Captain America could take Iron Man in a fight, and that Agent Romanoff was secretly nicer than most people believed. When Pepper Potts later asked if he was seeing anyone, he smiled reflexively and nodded. “I’ve been spending a lot of time with a woman from work.” It did not strike him at first that Cheesecake was not technically just a woman he worked with, but the idea that Phil had someone in his life seemed to make Pepper a bit more content, so he went with it. No point in rocking the boat.
Pepper had asked him more about this mysterious woman, and he had to think for a moment. Cake had shared the fact that for a mission, she was programmed to be a concert cellist, and still seemed to like playing the instrument on occassion. He was not sure how much a Life Model Decoy truely could enjoy something, but he did remember how her face seemed to relax when her fingers began to move over the strings. So that was what he told Pepper, that she was a cellist, who had dark hair and soft eyes. Pepper was encouraging, and he then quickly changed the subject back to business.
Agent Beefcake at one point almost seemed jealous, eying Coulson carefully as he walked down the halls of SHIELD with Cheesecake right at his side. If asked under oath, Phil would admit to the fact that he considered Natasha Romanoff to be a friend as well as a coworker, and times like this was reminded of why he considered her to be his friend. Natasha had been walking behind them, but suddenly swept forward between Beefcake’s icy gaze. The highly trained Russian spy narrowed her eyes right back at Cheesecake’s counterpart, her blue hues giving back exactly what Beefcake was trying to dish out. Beefcake seemed to settle slightly, and he walked the rest of the way to his office in peace, with Cheesecake still at his side.
THIS IS MARRIAGE!!
Das right!
Permission to be a bad ass nod.
He looks back at the guy like, “SEE THAT? SHE SAID YES. YOU’RE SO FUCKED.”
