"yessss please update and could you do some more Pepperony too please?"
Yes, I can write some more Pepperony, here you go!
Tony Stark was many things. So many, in fact, Pepper kept an alphabetized list including, (but not limited to),
Arrogant,
Bold,
Cocky,
Conceited,
Egotistical,
Entitled,
Infuriating
Irritating,
Narcissistic,
Pompous,
Selfish,
Vain,
And no matter what Ororo insisted, Pepper was NOT in love with him. Absolutely not. There was no way that she, Virginia Pepper Potts, could ever be in love with Tony Stark. Not him, the boy who is like a curse place upon her.
Sure he had his uses, Stark was, as much as it pained her to admit, a genius. He was gifted in most all magic. He was also quite charming and could talk his way out of (or into) just about anything. And, of course, there was the fact that his father was the most renowned wand-maker in the entire wizarding world, which had its benefits.
Also, he was pretty cute, but Ororo certainly didn't need to know she thought that.
Though she had to admit, Tony was pretty good with the first years, especially little Peter Parker and T'Challa's sister, Shuri. And there was 3rd year Harley Keener who he took under his wing, which was sweet. Especially when he sat up in the common room all night with Harley and Shuri, trying to crack Professor Titan's latest assignments. (Not that Pepper had watched from the Girls' dormitory staircase or anything.)
Then there was the whole "Avengers" thing (that she didn't know about). Of course, from what she knew (or "didn't"), Steve Rogers and Thor Odinson should be getting most of the credit for that, but that didn't mean Tony's contributions were unnoticed. She had seen him grow into himself much more since Steve had convinced the others to go along with his plan, and she had to admit (to herself of course) it was pretty endearing.
Of course, none of this had anything to do with how she was wearing a red and gold clip he liked in her hair much more often now, or why she covered for Tony and the Avengers with Coulson, or why she was researching the ingredients for a Polyjuice Potion and how to brew one just because Tony had asked nicely (for once).
Glancing around to make sure her roommates were asleep, or contently reading in Jane's case, she rolled up her parchment with the Polyjuice information on it and carefully slipped out of her room. Glancing over the balcony she could see Tony sitting on the sofa. Harley Keener was curled contently next to him, his head resting in Tony's lap as he slept. Bruce Banner was sitting across from Tony, writing on a piece of parchment as he and Tony whispered about something she couldn't quite make out.
It was adorable scene really, one that made Pepper smile softly. Tony apparently had a 6th sense for finding her because he glanced up at her then, flashing her an ear-to-ear smile.
She rolled her eyes fondly, and carefully made her way down the stairs, holding out the parchment to Tony.
"Do I want to know what you're going to do with this?"
Tony glanced at Bruce who shook his head forcefully.
"No, apparently not."
"I trust Bruce's judgement."
"And not mine? I'm hurt Pep!"
"Do you even trust your own judgement?"
Tony opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't seem to find the words, much to the amusement of Bruce and Pepper, who tried, with varying levels of success, to hide their laughter.
