Summary-There's a prom up soon, and Tony has a certain redhead in mind for his date.
Tony went up to Pepper's apartment door and knocked. A moment later, the door swung open and none other than Pepper's father had answered the door. Tony swallowed nervously when he noticed Virgil's authoritative stance: arms crossed and brows furrowed; it also didn't help that he was wearing his work clothes, 'cause seeing the FBI logo on the chest of his shirt made Tony's swallowing that much more nervous.
"Oh hello, Tony, what can I do you for?" Virgil asked.
"I, uhh, need to talk to Pepper, sir." Tony explained nervously.
"Why certainly, just one moment," Virgil went to get Pepper and while he did so Tony contemplated what to say. But mid-thought, he was interrupted.
"Tony? What's up?" Pepper asked curiously.
"Look, Pepper, I don't know what you're going to say to this and I don't really understand much about romance except that I like you and I came to wonder if you'd like to maybe, uhh, go to prom with me..." At the beginning Tony sounded firm and rambly but towards the end, as he asked her, he spoke more timidly. Pepper smiled, which made Tony nervous.
"U-unless you don't want to go, that's cool I mean, I understand and stuff, and-" this time it was Pepper who interrupted Tony's rambling; but she stopped it with a kiss to his lips. Tony was surprised by the courageous motion but accepted it and returned the kiss.
"So I'll take that as a yes?" Tony said calmly when they parted. Pepper giggled.
"Yes, Tony, I'll go with you." Tony fit his hand into hers, smiled to her and said,
"Good, 'cause I wasn't going to accept a 'no'."
Okay, that one was pretty short. The lengths of these one-shots will vary, but most of them won't really be very long. Chances are that if it's long, it's probably a songfic. Review?
