Two Seals Fighting Over A Grape

by A Velvet Rose

A mini drabble inspired by Rhodey's line at the end of IM2 when Tony and Pepper kiss for the first time. Tony and Pepper have been truly stressed and seperated for too long a time. Stupid work. But now that they're together, things are a little awkward. Until they start eating grapes.

A/N. Hi everyone! This is just a tiny drabble I thought of when Rhodey's line at the end of IM2 was stuck in my head. Enjoy :D

Two Seals Fighting Over A-

"Grape?" Tony held his hand out to her, mouth full of green fruit.

Pepper rolled her eyes but accepted it and popped it into her mouth. "Thanks," she said. Soon, she was eating the grapes at regular intervals as they watched the movie.

She and Tony were sitting on the couch in his Malibu mansion watching a rom-com that Pepper had wanted to see. They hardly ever had time to themselves anymore, or if they did it was only for work purposes. So now here they were, sitting next to each other awkwardly when Pepper wanted to cuddle him more than anything.

When she reached for another grape, Tony pulled his hand away at the last second. When she groped around the bag, it was empty. She turned to look at him and he smiled mischievously before popping the last grape in his mouth. He waggled his eyebrows suggestively. She knew immediately what he wanted and opened her mouth to veto the idea on instinct – but then she closed it and shrugged; the movie was lame anyway.

She attacked his lips without a second thought, surprising herself with audacity. He was apparently just as caught off guard as she was because he actually leaned back initially. However, once he realized what was happening, he responded with vigor, placing one hand on her cheek and the other on her waist. She scooted in closer to him and then decided that it wasn't close enough as she swung her leg over his hips and straddled him. Lips were bitten and sucked, necks were attacked and suddenly, Pepper pulled away. Confused, Tony looked at her and whispered, "Tease".

She simply smiled, revealing the grape between her teeth. Tony's eyes widened, but then his smirked and rolled them over, pushing her down on the couch. He attached his mouth to hers and started to suck, determined to regain possession of his grape.

It wasn't until they accidentally falling on the floor that Tony came to a realization. "Rhodey was right! We do look like seals fighting over a grape!"

Pepper could only stare… and burst out laughing.
