First Iron Man Movie AU: Where Tony returns to Pepper on the rooftop with her drink and something more.
Third Person POV
Reporters and cameramen littered the entrance to the party, shouting at the people who went by just to grab a solid interview with at least one person famous or just rich enough to make them seem so. The night sky was a dark blue, only a few stars covering the vast canvas. To most, it seemed like just another event for the rich and powerful to attend but for Tony Stark, it just meant another party to crash and several hundreds news reporters to just maybe have a chance to get the final say from him.
The billionaire made his way inside, one hand in his dress pants pocket and the other holding a button on his jacket. After having spent many days working on the new design for the suit, he thought it'd be nice to take a breather and relax for a while. His definition being to crash a party and hopefully, hopefully, woo a certain red-haired woman.
She who just so happened to be wearing a gorgeous, purple backless dress and chatting away to some guests. He approached her with ease, smiling a coy smile when she finally turned and noticed him.
"You look fantastic! I didn't recognize you," He said when he was within arm's reach of her. She turned around with a look of surprise.
"What are you doing here?" Her voice had a hint of disbelief in it as she realized that he was actually here.
He shrugged nonchalantly, "Just avoiding government agents."
"Are you by yourself?" Pepper questioned him.
"Yes--where'd you get that dress?" Tony asked her, changing topics swiftly as he looked her up and down. One of his many talents.
She smiled loosely, staring back at him. "Oh, it was a birthday present. From you."
A hint of a grin appeared at his lips. "That's great. Well, I got great taste."
"Yes," She agreed.
"You want to dance?" He asked and even though Pepper disagreed, he held her hand and led her to the dance floor with ease. She smiled at others passing with a faux smile, walking with Tony. He held her close, swaying to the classic music and she laughed breathlessly and nervously. The two looked at each other with the feeling around them almost indescribable.
"Am I making you uncomfortable?"
Pepper laughed the same way again, stuttering over her first few words. "No, no. I always forget to wear deodorant and dance with my boss in front of everyone I work with in a dress with no back."
Tony smiled, nodding to her. "You look great and you smell great."
She blushed. "Oh, God."
Tony raised his eyebrows. "I could fire you if that would take the edge off," He teased.
Pepper gave him a look. "I actually don't think you could tie your shoes without me."
Tony raised his eyebrows, just a little offended. "I'd make it a week." Pepper gave him a look that read 'Really?' and said, "Sure. What's your social security number?"
Tony swayed silently, furrowing his eyebrows as he looked away slightly. "Five."
"Five?"
"Right," Tony said and Pepper repeated the word under her breath.
"You're missing just a couple of digits there," She teased.
Tony looked at her. "The other eight? I got you for the other eight." His gaze pierced into hers and for a moment, it was as if the two suddenly couldn't breathe properly.
