Wildly Conflicted

"If I were Iron Man, I'd have this girlfriend who knew my true identity. She'd be a wreck. She'd always be worrying I was going to die, yet so proud of the man I've become. She'd be wildly conflicted, which would only make her more crazy about me..."

Pepper looked slightly amused and scared…a strange combination of the two swirled in her expressive blue eyes. Pepper wanted to say yes. She really did. But it wasn't the right time her gut told her. Pepper wasn't ready to be the girlfriend that was left worrying whenever Tony flew off saving people. She nearly broke down when he was kidnapped, but if he died…

She knew she'd say yes to Tony…it was destined to happen.

Pepper bantered with Tony about the time he left her on the terrace. He might have turned over a million leaves but there were still some leaves left, and few being created.

Tony stared into Pepper's eyes, he saw the conflict battling in them. She hadn't said 'no' outright…so there was still hope left for them. He'd eventually convince her. Either that or the unresolved sexual tension in the air would jump-start the relationship.

He didn't push the issue too much…he wanted too though. His completely dependable "hunches" told him not to push it. At least he cooperated with something in his life.

Tony smirked to himself, Pepper would eventually say yes to him. It is inevitable. He was Tony Stark, no one said no to him. He considered pulling out his puppy-dog eyes, Pepper had a hard time saying no to that face.

After all they wouldn't be Mr. Stark and Miss. Potts for much longer…unless Tony Stark unscrewed it up.

And let's be realistic, the chances of that happening are the same as the Sun rising in the morning.

Thank god Pepper was used to this.
