           - Tony Stark P.O.V -

We leave Steve and Bucky and come back to the castle, Rhodey knowing my ideas say goodbye to me and go to his house. It's a beautiful night today, the stars shining and the wind making my hair move. I look to the front of the castle, observing the details, I don't know how much time passed since I arrived here, but I need to breath before I have to talk with Pepper.

"Is everything okay, sir?". One of the security guards that was waiting in the door asked.

"Yes, just distracted". I answer smiling as if nothing was going on my mind. I put my hands in the pocket of my jeans and walk in the direction of the door.

The servants help me with my clothes and I ask them to tell Pepper that I arrived. I go to the kitchen, most of the things are white making the place look even more fancy. When I start to put the whiskey in the glass, I see someone waiting for me in the door.

I move my head and I see Pepper, even that things are not like they used to be, I still think she is beautiful. I get closer and hug her tight, probably making obvious that something was wrong.

"So how was everything?". She ask while holding my head with both of her hands.

"Actually everything was fine, apparently wasn't Steve or Bucky that did it, it was Aldrich Killian". I explain, Pepper look at me surprised.

"I hate that man, I will never forget of when he flirted with me, so strange". Pepper say with a disgusted face.

"Yes, tomorrow we will finally receive the results of the digital brands in the car accident of King Richard and Queen Mary, maybe was him that did it too". I comment thinking about the possibilities.

"Probably, so can we go to another place to talk? I need to tell you something". Pepper says nervous, I look at her confused, but I agree with her.

We go to the outside of the castle, walking through the beautiful garden. Pepper sit in one of the chairs that we have in the place and I do the same.

"Wow the sky is beautiful today". Pepper say impressed.

"I know right, I thought the same thing when I saw it". I say agreeing with her.

"So before I tell you everything, I want you to know that I'm really thankful for everything that you did for me. You're a fantastic man that made me happy every single day, you are good enough and I hope you know that". She say looking at me, I can see in her eyes that she is being sincere.

"That's really sweet of you dear, you are a fantastic woman too and beautiful in many ways. I also need to tell you something, but I prefer to you say first". I tell her, feeling nervous and anxious.

"Oh I wasn't expecting that, now I'm curious". She say laughing "but okay, I will tell you first, so I can feel more relieved". I laugh with her reaction.

"So like you know Natasha Romanoff always come here and sometimes I have to go with her to reunions and other important things. She have a different way to act, so I thought that maybe we wouldn't be friends, but I was wrong". Pepper start to explain, I feel even more confused, because that is totally normal. "We started to get closer to each other, go out together and not only when we have something important to do. I realized that she would flirt with me sometimes, but like you know I don't know how to react sometimes to things like that, so I just ignored it". Pepper say, moving her hands in some moments.

"That's normal, I don't see anything wrong on that". I comment

"Well yes, the time passed and I flirted back, nothing really bad, but I realized that I was feeling things that I shouldn't feel when I was close to her, we are just friends after all. I didn't accept this at first, because I still loved you, but this was stronger than me and I finally accepted that I have feelings for her". She say looking at me kinda scared. Of course I feel surprised, but at the same time relieved, because my situation was almost the same.

"Did you cheat on me?". I ask curious and worried.

"Of course not, like I said I still loved you and I wouldn't be able to do something like that". Pepper answer me, I knew that, but my mind always make me unsure about somethings.

"What I have to tell you is almost the same, but with Stephen. I always knew that I am not completely straight, but one part of me wasn't sure yet, until Stephen appeared. Of course we know each other for a long time, but we would only interact when we had to solve somethings about the royalty". I stop for a moment to breath and think about what I still need to say. "With everything that happened we had to get closer to each other and almost talk everyday. I guess that slowly without I realize, I started to have feelings for him, I tried to stop like you did...but was almost impossible". After I finish I look at her, I feel guilty even that she is passing for the same thing.

Pepper look surprised, but smile at me. For a moment we just stay quiet, thinking of what we should do, we never thought that something like that would happen with us.

"What should we do now?". I ask her.

"I don't think that this feeling is just a phase, so maybe we should...give us each other a time? If nothing happen we can be like before". Pepper say. I think about it and that is probably the best way.

"I agree, we will figure out with the time". I comment, I get up and Pepper does the same. I get close to her and she hug me again.

"Thank you for understand". I whisper to her as if someone could hear us.

"Thank you, Tony".
