Pepperony Month

by Genkai-chan

30 Days of Pepperony Prompts from my tumblr to my fanfiction. Each day will be a certain theme and will be updated daily. If you'd like me to continue, submit prompts or ideas of your own. Each must be a one shot, unless I decide to run with the idea in a new way. Day nine has a deleted scene from Iron Man 2 where the party has ended but Pepper comes back and Tony pushes her away.

1. Day 1

A/n: I've made my own Pepperony Month Challenge on tumblr and I've decided to share with everyone here. Each chapter will be based on a prompt for the day. Any prompt can be a long story, a poem, a drabble, whatever.

Chapter One: First Impressions Hit Hard

When he first laid eyes on her, everything hit him at once. Her hair, her hips, her eyes, her lips, her legs, her smile, everything. Tony was dressed in wrinkled jeans and an equally wrinkled dress shirt. Clearly interviews weren't his thing, nor was dressing himself. In his mind, the only one to impress was him, so why should he have to get dressed up to look over resumes and talk to people? Pepper Potts was very composed, wearing a stylish black blazer, skirt and blue blouse buttoned up except for the first two, which revealed a string of pearls, probably a gift from an elderly relative. And she smelled of peaches, her lightly colored hair curled and laced over her small shoulders. They shook hands and began to talk but somehow Tony couldn't stop staring at her, her voice was wonderful, graceful but held a subtle fire. He already knew she would be the one.

When she first laid eyes on him, everything hit her at once. His smile, his facial hair, his eyes, his face, his toned body, his hands, his aura, everything. She of course had dressed herself up nicely for the nine o'clock interview but she couldn't help but wonder if this would be the right fit for her. Clearly Tony Stark needed a lot of help but was she in over her head? She had just gotten out of college and now she was applying for an exclusive job. Tony was smart, not too much older than her but quite smarter in other areas. Something was alluring however, something was stopping Pepper from turning right around and seeing herself out. What was it about the man that made her want to stay? The interview was brief, something was on his mind, she could tell. By the end of it, both parties seemed quite thoughtful of the other. She had no idea what she was getting herself into.
