Prompt: Tony and Pepper meeting for the first time after the original kiss on the rooftop (assuming they went their separate ways that night). They are both awkward and unsure of their boundaries and don't know whether it's fine to lean in and kiss again or go back to their old ways.

Well… that was awkward, right?

She lay in her bed, butterflies fluttering in her stomach a mile a minute. She could not even comprehend what had happened on that rooftop not even hours ago. The event replayed in her mind over and over again.

Their kiss.

Pepper lay there deep in her thoughts. She knew she hadn't dreamt about it. It really did happen. Closing her eyes, the thoughts blending together, giving her the most wonderful dream.

Now it was his turn. Tony sat in a chair, just thinking about what had happened today. He had fixed his reactor, his expo blew to the ground, and he hadn't kissed some random woman. He had kissed the Pepper Potts. The woman he loved.

This is going to be interesting, Tony thought to himself, barely able to sleep that night. He just waited for what was to come the next morning.

…

Pepper looked at the headlines in all the newspapers and all over TV. She couldn't help but roll her eyes over that disaster of that so-called expo. She had been in her hotel room, eating breakfast and waiting for what was to come, when there was a knock on the door.

She looked through the peep-hole and saw Tony standing out in the hall. Opening the door, she gave a small smile and let him. Closing the door, she offered him a seat at the small table and offered him some coffee.

It was silent, neither of them said a word to each other. Sitting back down in her seat, Tony finally said something.

"So, about last night," he started and looked over at her. Pepper could feel herself blush, knowing he had been thinking about it too. Getting right back up, she opened the balcony door and stepped outside. Tony stood and followed her out, not knowing what she was thinking.

Leaning against the railing, Pepper closed her eyes and took a deep breath, taking in the fresh air. Tony walked up and stood next to her.

"You can't deny what happened last night," Tony said to her.

"I know," she sighed and turned toward him. "I know." Pepper didn't know what to think or do. This was new to her. Just as it was new to him. He gave her a smile, one with meaning.

"So, you think this could work?"
