The Man with no Heart (Tony Stark) - ON HOLD

Sneaky

“GET OUT OF HERE!”

“Pepper, I’m cold!” I pouted

She held a slipper in her hand, ready to throw it at me “What the hell is wrong with the heating system?” She adorably asked, trembling

“I dunno” I stumbled to her, once again, but she quickly got in position to attack

“Do not take any step forward, gosh you are disgusting!”

My eyes widened and my jaw dropped “Are you threatening your boss with a slipper?”

“YES!”

“Pepper… you a…”

“ACHOO” She sneezed, then groaned “God…” she took a deep breath

I glanced at her, she will not get really sick, will she?

No, she won’t. She will be perfect tomorrow!

She finally let the slipper fall and surrounded her body with two blankets “We should sue this place…” she mumbled

I stood there, looking like a total drunken idiot, mesmerized with her adorableness.

“Y-Yes… they are going down there” I tried my luck once again and approached her

But I immediately turned around, as if it was nothing, when she threw me a death glare.

“And you stink at alcohol…”

I did not think twice, I quickly got myself in the bathroom and took a shower. A light headache was in the way, I should be used to this. I do not think I will ever get used to headaches, though.

Damn, she really does not want me.

She even called me disgusting.

Maybe she really finds me that repulsive.

Well, but she’s good and, she takes good care of me. I want her around.

When I was finished and sobering, ready to lay down, I could not help but go and take a look at Pepper, through the door connecting our suites.

I could see her trembling and sneezing continuously on her bed.

I bit my lip, feeling bad as I did not in a very long time. I quickly walked over to my bed and took its blankets from it.

Silently walking towards her bed, I threw my blankets over her. Maybe she’ll get warmer this way. And as to me, well, the sheets would have to do.

I was about to turn around when I felt her hand grabbing my shirt tightly. Her ocean eyes, staring at me, in the dark, made me almost slobber.

Almost.

A smirk appeared in my expression as I observed her opening the blankets to welcome me in there.

“No funny business, Stark”

“You are no fun” I groaned, joining her immediately, before she changed her mind

“I will only say it once”

Woah. She did not trust me, at all.

Well, I should not either, if I was her, so…

“I don’t cuddle…” I raised my eyebrow

“Door’s right there!” she said, irritated and keeping her distance.

I smiled, approaching her body myself “I can open an exception”

“Oh, you are intolerable!” Her words turned into a snap as she felt my arms around her body “Stark… I…!”
