Hi all how is everyone doing? I hope people are least clicking this story it'll make me happy. Hope you all like the random pairing. I am not making it a story all just random one shots of the Avengers trying to become friends.
I decided to do the Pepperony chapter I talked about in chapter 2.
She let him sleep for five hours and used the time to catch up with Natasha.
Finally, Nat yawned and decided to try sleeping herself. "You all right Pepper?" she asked as she stood.
The red-head nodded. "Sure…thanks for staying up with me Nat" she answered.
Natasha smiled gently. It had been fun to finally let her guard down and have a friend to chat with. Without the complications of a mission weighing down on her.
"No problem…Tony was right…which I can't believe I admitted" she said.
Pepper raised a brow. "My Tony Stark was helpful?"
Nat chuckled. "Well, it had to do with you…he must be crazy about you because he asked me if it would kill me to be real…"
Pepper chucked, cutting her off. "Or perhaps Mr. Stark was hoping Jarvis would record us kissing or something" she implied and Nat laughed.
"Sounds like him…but I think he does love you…and that's coming from me…I may not do love but I have gotten good at reading people" she said.
Pepper nodded. "Yeah…maybe that's why I am avoiding it all…I know he had to get rid of that nuke but…he was unconscious when he came out…he almost…"
"Luckily the big guy actually is on our side Pep…Tony has us now Pep along with you…and Tony always seems to get his way anyway…he is a lucky man"
"I think we all are" she agreed. Pepper then took out her phone just to have something in her hands. She gasped.
"What's wrong?" Nat asked. Always on alert.
"I missed his call…he must have called me when he was flying…" she said and trailed off.
"Go see him Pepper…" Nat urged.
Pepper nodded but then stopped. "Its never to late to try at love Nat…I caught the way you snuggled Mr. Clint Barton…" she said.
"He's my partner"
"And Tony was just my boss at one time…you can deny it forever or…you can just accept you're in love…and least you know Clint" she said.
Nat nodded. "I'll think about it" she said but her expression gave no hope to Pepper. "All right then…I'll see you later Nat" she said and the two left to their bedrooms.
Which left Pepper walking back to her crazy superhero boyfriend.
She watched him sleep for a moment. He looked peaceful, which meant he was very tired and not dreaming. She curled up in the king sized bed beside him and gently massaged a bruise on his temple.
The slight touch made Tony stir. He turned around and opened his eyes to stare into hers.
"Hey" he whispered. "Hey" she responded and Tony could hear the sadness in her voice.
Tony sat up and curled an arm protectively around his woman. "All right, you can yell at me now" he urged.
Pepper didn't answer as she rested her head on Tony's chest. She stared at the arc reactor in a daze.
"Pep?" he called and she let out a very small whimper. "Pep?" he called again, but Pepper refused to move. She traced the reactor with her fingers, remembering when she had to change it.
Staring into the glowing light she could see all the memories she made with Tony Stark. She felt a small tear fall as she saw just how much she loved him and how close she had come to losing him.
She made the tiniest gasp and Tony realized she was crying silently. She was crying and ignoring him.
"Pepper please! I'm sorry!" he begged as he stroked her hair. Pepper still didn't move.
Tony sighed. "Do you want to leave me now?" he asked and when she didn't answer. Tony pushed her back gently. He gently took her chin in his hand.
"Do you Pep? Because you wanted to before and I…" he said and sighed. "I can't live without you Pep…" he said with the most sincerest look of sadness he ever felt plastered on his face.
"Good…because I can't either Tony" she whispered. Tony's eyes lit up and she giggled.
"Oh, come on Stark…if I haven't left by now it only proves I'll stay by you forever…" she teased. It made him smirk.
Pepper smiled back for a moment then sighed. "I can't lose you Tony" she admitted and Tony pulled her back to him. He hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry Pep…but I had to get rid of that nuke…I am just glad the big guy caught me…I knew Bruce was a good man moment I met him" he said.
She smiled and snuggled tighter against him. "They all seem like good people…I even became close to the real Nat tonight…it was nice actually" she responded.
"Ha…the spider actually listened to me" he whispered.
"Yeah…Tony I am so sorry I missed your call" she said changing back the subject.
Tony only responded by hugging her a little tighter. "It's okay…I can say I love you now…which I do Pepper Potts…now least with the avengers I know I can always come home to tell you that"
"I'll always be here to listen then Tony Stark" she answered and closed her eyes. She fell asleep hugging him and Tony scooted back under his covers and slept holding Pepper tightly.
