So here's a little one-shot about Tony and Pepper which takes place after the fight. I'm sorry if I make any mistakes in grammar, but I'm from Germany so english is not my first language. Please review!
Tony watched Thor and Loki disappear and smiled.
"And what are you going to do now?" he asked Steve, Natasha and Clint.
"Well, I-"Steve began but he was cut off by a loud voice behind Tony.
"Anthony Stark!" Pepper shouted angrily.
Steve, Bruce and Clint looked at her with confusion and Tony quickly turned around. Natasha just smiled.
"Pepper, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in D.C.?" He asked her.
"I was on my way, but I told the pilot to turn around as you nearly died. I mean… you called me and I haven't picked up. What if you had died and then… I would always blame myself for not picking up…" She started to sob. He pulled her into a hug.
"Shhh, it's okay. You don't have to cry, I'm here and I'm fine and that's all that matters, right?" he whispered softly. The others were watching them but Tony didn't care. The only thing that mattered was Pepper. Pepper who was sobbing into his neck.
"I was so scared. I thought you wouldn't come back." She whispered.
"Hey, come on. Look at me." He placed a hand on her cheek, so that she had to look at him. Then he wiped her tears away. "I'm never going to leave you. I love you, Pepper. Forever."
"I love you too." Pepper smiled.
And that was all he had to hear. He leaned in and kissed her softly.
"Don't do that again." Pepper said after the kiss.
"Don't do what again? Risking my life or kissing you?"
She rolled her eyes. "Don't you ever risk your life again, Tony Stark."
"Yes Ma'am."
"Thank you." She looked to the other Avengers. "I'll better leave you alone. See you later."
"Love you." Tony smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Love you too." With that, Pepper walked away towards the Stark tower.
"Why haven't you told us that you've got a girlfriend?" Steve asked.
"Well, I thought saving the world was more important than the fact that I've got a girlfriend." Tony said.
"Anthony Stark?" Clint grinned. "Really?"
"Yeah, my full name is Anthony Stark, not Tony. But I prefer the short form. Anthony sounds so serious. But I'm not the only one here who doesn't use his full name, right Steven?"
Steve shot him an angry look. "Okay, I think we got it."
"You really love her, don't you?" Bruce asked suddenly.
Tony's annoyed face became soft. "Yes. Pepper is the best thing that happened to me. She's my life. I would die for her."
"You see? Tony Stark has got a soft side." Natasha smiled.
"Yeah and now go or I have to kick someone's ass."
They all started laughing. Nobody except of Tony Stark could make such a statement after he just confessed his feelings.
The End
