That couple of Mondays later Pepper was surprised to see a vase of Roses sitting on her nightstand when she returned to the tower after work. She took her shoes off at the door and walked across the room, checking out the flowers. She picked a small note out from the deep purple pedals; it was a thank you note.
"I'm pretty sure the money cap on gifts is $35, what you've given me is priceless.
–Clint"
Pepper smiled tucking the note back into the flowers. She was on her way down to thank Agent Barton for the wonderful collection of roses when she turned the corner and caught a glimpse of Tony pushing Clint up against the wall, pinning his hands above his head and stealing a kiss before taking off down the hallway.
Clint looked both ways; no doubt checking for a faster route than Tony's when he saw her leaning again the corner. He smiled at her and she nodded at him before he went sprinting down the hall after the Iron Man and nothing else needed to be said.
