Hello! This is just a quick one-shot that I had posted before on my old account as the beginning of a series of one-shots but sadly, I never got round to finishing it and I forgot my email and password :(
The prompt for this one is 'Breakfast'.
Pepper Potts awoke to a start at the sound of the AI's British voice; "Good morning Miss Potts, it is 7:30am and the weather in Malibu today is 79 degrees with a mostly sunny outlook and a few scattered clouds." "Thanks Jarvis." Pepper replied groggily as she turned over to face the other side of the large king-sized bed she had been sleeping on. She was however greeted with just a cold, empty mess of expensive silk sheets (ones that she had tastefully picked out herself).
Pepper frowned for she had been expecting to see her boyfriend lying sprawled out under the sheets, moaning at her to not get up. This would not normally worry someone, but since this is Tony Stark we're talking about, Pepper had the right to be worried. Tony was never, ever up before Pepper unless he hadn't even been to bed in the first place and was still in the workshop tweaking his suits.
"Jarvis, where's Tony?" Pepper asked, a slight tone of worry in her usually calm voice. "Mr Stark is currently in the Kitchen, Miss Potts. Although I must warn you that he may not wish to be disturbed." Pepper then rolled out of the bed with a sigh, whatever Tony was doing in the kitchen, it couldn't be good.
She couldn't help but remember the time when Tony had decided to dismantle the freezer, this spontaneous activity then left Pepper with a huge pile of melting food that Tony had emptied out of the freezer and dumped in the middle of the living-room area, right on top of a very expensive antique rug. It was safe to say that Pepper had not been impressed whatsoever and had banned Tony from being in the kitchen alone for at least a month.
Within a few minutes, Pepper had managed to pull herself from bed, brush her teeth and pull on one of Tony's old t-shirts over the underwear that she had been sleeping in. She then wandered over to the large, modern kitchen in the centre of Tony's Malibu mansion (it was technically their mansion but Pepper was still trying to get used to the idea of actually living with a billionaire, genius, ex-playboy, philanthropist).
Pepper had actually expected to see complete and utter carnage when she entered the kitchen, so this time she was actually pleasantly surprised; Tony was sitting at the breakfast bar in the centre of the kitchen with two plates of what appeared to be steaming hot omelettes.
"I was just about to come and find you" he said as she cautiously approached him, her bare feet padding almost silently across the polished marble flooring.
"Did you make those?" she asked almost surprised; the last time Tony had tried to make her an omelette, it didn't exactly look edible…
"Yeah," Tony said with a genuine smile, "I've been practicing you know, and of course Jarvis helped a bit too."
"Well they look wonderful, thank you Tony." Pepper said sincerely as she leaned in to kiss him; it was rare that Tony did something special for her so when he did, it was always extra special.
"Mmmm" he said against her lips, "Anytime, Potts."
Thanks for reading! I'd love it if you'd leave a review... Thanks again :)
