Hey guys! Yep, another one-shot! But hey, yall better be glad I got this out, because unfortunately I have been so consumed with this thing called writers block. Yeah and I'm having a lot of medical stuff done like tonsils and adenoids removed...Fun. So, if I don't post or update that's why. And personal stuff too, which is what this is. Therefore, enjoy this little thing, doodle, ficlet, whatever it is or whatever you wish to call it.

I don't own Imaa, or its characters...

"Feelings"


Tony, you just have to be cutest guy ever, don't you? Pepper thought to herself one lazy afternoon. Her dad left for work early that morning and she woke to a sweet, little "Daddy loves you" note and an empty apartment. So, bored out of her mind all day, she walked around her house in an attempt to find something to do. Unfortunately, summer break isn't all it's cracked up to be. And she wandered about in search of entertainment, her mind jumped to one of its favorite subjects, her "friendship" with Tony Stark. She hadn't known him long, but had stalked him for a while. She found her way to the living room coach, and made herself comfortable as her thoughts elaborated themselves.

She has recently become good friends with Tony and his pal Rhodey. And, much to Pepper's surprise, she and Tony are getting closer with every passing day. She still enjoys annoying him, and he enjoys doing the same to her. Their relationship is playful and full of witty banter, but she is starting to think of him for more than a friend. Of course, she started out having a crush on him, what girl wouldn't? But she thought that maybe after they were friends, her crush would dissolve. But it hasn't. In fact, it's grown into more than what it was when they first met. She continually insists that it's nothing, that it's nothing more than a faze, and refuses to recognize it as real, honest feelings for him.

How long will it take before her true feelings surface? Who can say? Pepper still truly believes that she feels nothing more for Tony than a strong friendship, at least that's what she tells herself. I don't like him, do I? she thinks.

Confused and afraid to change things, Pepper refuses to be more than Tony's girl-friend. But a weird feeling washes over her every time she's around him. She gets this terrible flutter in the bottom of her stomach, and it feels like she's eaten a bucket of butterflies. Her nerves go into overdrive and she always feels as if she's going to pass out. She hates feeling like this. But she's still firm in refusing the idea that she is in love.

Pepper, relaxed on the coach, looking like she's ever so deep in thought, starts to drift. But as she does, thinking a nap will bring her out of this, it only takes her further into her dream world of being with him.

Everything is as she wants there. Her dreams, her rules. She and Tony are always together and smiling as if they've never been happier. She drifts deeper and deeper as the hours pass. Her dreams of finally being out of "the friend zone" and telling Tony how she feels is a beautifully stupid thought, but one she entertains regularly. Because in her dreams, Pepper is not afraid of her feelings. She embraces them and gets what she wants. But in the real world, she can only dream. She loves being Tony's friend and always will. In her dreams, she wishes there was more to it. But although she doesn't want to ruin her friendship, Pepper wants to be more but knows they can't be more, not yet anyway.

She's waiting for Tony to come to her. And who knows when and if that will happen. Even then, her dreams portray a hopeful mindset. She knows there is more to Tony than meets the eye, and Pepper is counting on that. She is so in love, but still refuses to embrace her feelings.

Pepper is hopeful and doubting, left with so many accomplishments and backtracks to ponder on. But today, as she slumbers on her coach, she's going to leave the details to her dreams.
