AN: This one is very fluffy and very Pepper/Tony. But I was on vacation in Paris and wasn't able to resist.
When Pepper woke up, she had the feeling that this would be a good day.
That was weird. Today was a day of work, three meetings before lunch, then a press conference about some new product and an important meeting with the secretary of defense. It was going to be a normal workday, just like the days before. But still she had the feeling it would be a good day.
Partly that was because she felt Tony next to her. Every day she woke up in Tony's arms was a good day. It meant that he was not somewhere in the world risking his life. It meant he would be okay for today.
Another part of the feeling came because she felt like she had a real good night of sleep. But it had been 12 pm when she got into bed, and Jarvis had not woken her yet, what meant it had to be before 6 am.
Peppers eyes flew open. It was 11 pm! She had already missed two meetings!
„Good morning, Ms. Potts." Jarvis electronic voice filled the room.
„Why didn't you wake me?! I missed two meetings!"
„Mr. Stark requested I don't."
„TONY!"
Tony looked at her sleepily, than he gave her his most loving smile.
„You don't go to any meetings today. Come on" he said at her annoyed look „you're completely exhausted! You need a break!"
„But … my meetings!"
„All chancelled. Let's get dressed. I have planned something."
Pepper gave him a last, angry glare, then she dressed herself. Maybe he was right; she was exhausted.
Tony took her hand an let her to the hangar. The private jet was already waiting.
„Where do we go, Tony?"
He smiled at her „That's my secret."
Pepper recognized the jet. It was the „Bombast", a jet that was able to reach nearly every destination in the world in under three hours. They would go somewhere far away.
In the jet, everything was normal. A nice lounge, some drinks, a tv. But something was missing: her tablets and newspapers.
Tony noticed her look „No work today, Pep."
They sat down for the take-off.
When they reached travel height, Pepper noticed something: The music was not the usual lounge music. It was not Tony's music, either. It was her own favourite music, Coldplay. She smiled. Tony had really thought of everything.
He stood up an pulled her with him. They started to dance, and Pepper allowed herself to relax. Her boyfriend had just given her the perfect gift when she did not know she needed it.
When the jet landed, Pepper saw where they were: Paris, the city of love. She hugged Tony happily.
He only smiled, content with her being happy.
They spent the day walking through the city, visiting the sights and eating the wonderful french food. They never let go each others hand.
After a dinner in the best restaurant of Paris, Pepper layed her head on Tony's shoulder.
„This day was perfect."
Tony took a deep breath „I'm not finished yet, Pepper."
After another deep breath, he said:
„I always loved you Pepper, even though it took me quite a while to realize it. You are the on who always picks me up. There would be no me without you. I once said you're everything I have, but it's more important that you are also everything I need. It's always been you, Pep."
Pepper gasped when Tony went down on his knee.
„Would you, Virginia „Pepper" Potts, do me the honour th become my wife?"
„Yes, god, yes!"
And with that, he kissed her. Now, the day was really perfect.
