The Mistake [Pepperony AU]

Episode 1- "I am in love with you"

Hello. This is my first FanFiction and I am not native in English. I don't have a Beta-reader. If there is a mistake, I am sorry about it. Please give me feedback and review. I hope you like it. If you want to be my Beta-reader or asking/saying for anything please text message to me. Thank you! Sincerely, yours.

P.S: It is an alternative universe. Clint didn't have a wife or kids. He is like comic-books Hawkeye.

P.S 2: The song is recommended for * part.

TODAY

"Good morning, sir. It should be a very important day. Your sleeping pattern was not stable except for the last three hours."

"Yeah, J. Today is the day. Pepper is coming back." He buttons up his black shirt except for the first two-button. Then he goes to take his cufflinks which were a gift from Pepper. The cufflinks have arch reactor sign on it. She always says Tony is very handsome in the suit. Well... Maybe not with words but he knows how much she loves his black Armani suit because of her eyes.

"This is wonderful news, sir. You didn't update me about you are together again. I am sorry for my mistake."

"Don't be." He grits his teeth. Fucking cufflinks! He looks at the mirror. I know you try to show me how I am miserable without you, Potts. He sighs. "We are not together Jarvis. She is coming back as CEO to the company. But... I have still a chance, right?" Finally, I put on a cufflink! Then it falls down. I literally hate them.

"Sir, I don't think-"

"Mute Jarvis!"

He takes his cufflink on the floor then he realizes the clock was already 10 a.m. Fuck it. "Jarvis, prepare the black Audi E-Tron then call the Clint. He should be at the company in 15 minutes. I need that asshole."

He pockets the cufflinks then goes down the stairs. After Rhodey was inducted as a commander to the Middle East, Clint and Tony have become close friends. They do not have any idea about how did it happen. Maybe because of basketball, cars, wrong decisions that both of them agreed these are right or being a fan of Iron Man? Once Clint confessed that he escaped circus for being a hero after Tony explained himself as Iron Man. Then he created a fake SHEILD card to catch bad-guys. Well... They do not know how have they become as close friends. There is a fact that Tony Stark was a welcoming guess in Clint's studio flat in New York since Tony and Pepper have broken up. Sometimes they have watched old basketball games until morning and talked drunk about their most wrong decisions, and sometimes they just gazed at the floor.

Tony drives Audi E-Tron as fast as he could force the numbers in the sale catalog. Anyway, Audi gifted the cat to him that advertises like the-car-keeps-you-safe-even-if-you-would-be-unbalanced-drunk-playboy. It did not bother Tony even a moment. In fact, few things would bother Tony. Like seeing-Stark-Industries... He feels something in his stomach like pain and his hands' freeze despite the warm autumn outside. Could panic attacks be backs?

He stops the car in front of the company. Before he gets out of the car, he catches his breath. He gives his keys to security then he gets inside. Clint is waiting for him. He pockets his phone even his game didn't end yet when he sees Tony. Clint knows that today is going to be a really hard day. A war-game could be played later.

"Good morning, Tons!"

"Good morning, Clint. Is it a new band-ait on your nose?" Tony signifies.

"Oh yes."

"You couldn't help yourself even a day, could you?" Tony smirk ironically. But Clint smiles. "Dude, it was worth it!" Tony knows what did he mean. This means I met a girl. Baby, come here and destroy my every piece! in Clint's dictionary.
