A/N: So Here's number 4... I like the idea of Pepper taking care of Tony and the whole aspect of how things have change since they've been together so here's my little spin... this is set after he kinda gets everything straight and slows down on the drinking... maybe around the 3rd movie... I'm not exactly sure but I hope you like it!
oOoOoOo
Hungover
oOoOoOo
Pepper was woken up by movement at her side and Tony's groaning. She wasn't at all surprised by this after the party the night before where Tony had managed to drink enough for the both of them.
"Good Morning," Pepper said just above a whisper, knowing his head was probably pounding.
"Pep, make the light go away," Tony whined burying his face in her side.
"JARVIS low lights please," Pepper said softly, "And please close the blinds."
The AI didn't respond but the blinds closed and the lights come on just enough for Pepper to see Tony so she could look him over. He definitely looked like he'd had a rough night and not too long ago she wouldn't have felt sorry for him but back then she wouldn't have been laying beside him and he would have just drunk himself into a stupor to forget everything, the night before was different. She knew that he hadn't meant to drink as much as he had but the party had gotten the better of him. She ran through the usually morning after routine in her head, taking a little longer than usually since she hadn't used it in a while, before slowing sliding away from him so she could get up, much to his protest.
"I'll be back," Pepper whispered before heading for the bathroom to retrieve a glass of water and some aspirin.
When she came back she carefully sat down on the edge of the bed and offered a couple pills and the glass of water without a word. Tony slowly pushed himself up and took the medicine and water when it was offered. He swallowed the pills and worked on getting at least half the glass down before handing it back. Pepper set the glass on the night stand before settling beside him again. Once Tony had settled into her side she started running her fingers through his hair until he slowly drifted to sleep.
Not too long ago Pepper would have never thought she would ever feel sorry for Tony after he woke up hungover but she wasn't so sure should would have believed someone if they told her she'd be laying beside him either, all the same she wouldn't have it any other way.
oOoOoOo
