(OCC: January 4th. Morning. Pepper/Tony thread)
Tony observed New York City from above his towers. Ever since the manhatten attack, the poor thing needed repairs and quite a lot of them. He would've blamed Hulk but Hulk saved his rear some times too many so he blamed loki, since the whole damn thing was his fault to begin with. Tony had sweeped up all the glass(OK that was a lie, Pepper did that but he supervised), fixed some of the walls(OK that part was the construction men but he supervised that too) but it still needed new glass. Why was he so worried about it? Was Steve rubbing off on him, he certainly hoped not. Another thing was that some others things he was worried about so he distracted himself by focusing on his tower, which wasn't helping.
He went over to the kitchen and got himself a small glass of scotch. Scotch was something he was trying to quit but he enjoyed it too much and it calmed him down. Other than talking to pepper, speaking of which where was she?

(Sorry for the wait on this Dx)
The resounding noise of heels clicking against tile could heard as Pepper approached, glancing through the papers in her hands, again. "Tony!" She called, raising her head only moments later to see that her boyfriend was only a few yards away from her, over in the bar. Gliding over to him, she placed the files on the bar table, sliding them over to him. "I ordered the replacement STARK letters, they should arrive within a few days," The red-head began, eyeing his scotch but making no comment. "I also ordered the new glass, but I need you to give me the measurements that you want, so I can have them cut it at the factory."
Tapping the files with a polished finger-nail, she continued, "You have to sign pages seven through twelve in here and you have to be at a meeting tomorrow with some company handling cleanup of the city at nine-thirty sharp," Pepper finished, rifling off her boss's agenda as if she had been doing it for years (which she most actually had been). Despite being his Co-CEO and Tony having his own personal assistant, now, she still had made it her business to know his schedule. After doing it for ten years, it was awful hard to simply give it up.
Taking a deep breath, Pepper stepped back from the counter, dusting off her black pencil skirt. "And I believe you have a date set for tomorrow night, Mr. Stark, with some lovely lady named Virginia," She chimed, voice growing lighter as a mischievous glint appeared in her blue orbs.
(Hope that it's okay that I'm assuming Tony has a new PA and that they're Co-CEOs Cx)

(OCC: LOL no problem. And sure, not a problem. It wouldn't be a shock for pepper to be co-CEO)
Tony put the glass down and listened to Pepper, smirking kindly. Normally he'd tease her and play hard to get with signing the papers, but honestly the man was just not in the mood and he didn't know why. He wasn't mad but he prefered to let Pepper talk to him. This was cheering him up subconciously. Which was shocking beyond any recognition, since Tony was more of a happy man when it came to these things. He then responded to everything Pepper said about the business "Awesome. I'll get the measurements and I'll try to be on time at the meeting. The keyword being try" He then saw Pepper carry the papers and with a slight relunctance, signed the papers.
Then Pepper mentioned their date, now THAT he was at full attention for. He planned it sometime ago and reserved a special place for him and pepper but since they were busy with the business, Tony got distracted. OK, maybe he forgot it so thank god he reserved before he did so. With a big grin, Tony smiled widely and responded "Ah yes. I believe you are correct Ms. Potts. I have a feeling I'll enjoy it. She's a lovely lady"

(Again, sorry for the wait, I try to put off my Pepper posts because if I didn't get the others done first, I would never get them done. Pepper is far too much fun to play Cx)
Pepper waited until Tony finished signing the papers, then retrieved them with a thankful smile. That was, in all honesty, a lot easier than she planned for it to be. Too easy, to be exact. But the red-head didn't question her boyfriend, blaming it on exhaustion from the battle or something of that sort, for the moment. Of course, if this behaviour kept up, there would be interrogation, but that could, most definitely, come later. "Thank you," Pepper said, leaning over the counter and kissing Tony on the cheek before sliding the file into the purse slinging on her shoulder.
It was at the mention of their date that she allowed herself to push her worries down a bit more. He clearly had perked up at this subject. Smirking slightly, she nodded her head. "So you've told me," Pepper stated with a knowing nod. "Although, I must warn you, I have a date tomorrow night, too, so you'll have to get prepared on your own!" She teased, smile stretching.

Tony only acknowledged her thank you with a lighthearted nod and allowing Pepper to kiss his cheek. God she was so adorable when she was happy. Tony honestly loved Pepper when she wasn't so stressed out. Maybe he should listen to her more often. Maybe. Tony then focused on the "date" conversation and his grin increased as Pepper teased him. Pepper had a humorous side but Tony had to force it out of her sometimes so it was nice she was letting loose. It helped him calm the nerves he was hiding.
"Oh you do? Really?" Tony teased a lot "Awww. I guess you're right on the fact I have to prepare the date on my own" He leaned closer to her, deliberately trying to have fun with her "Although, I kinda like it when you help me prepare for things. I'm not the best resource for being prepared, I'm all the more action" As he was getting closer he was just ready to wash the stress in his mind away with just talking to Pepper.
(OCC: Not a problem. It's fine. I get it. Also, proof that I'm suckish at flirting posts XD)

Pepper rolled her eyes at his statement about action. It was awful true, though. The man was awful at preparing for, well, anything and everything. "Well, I think the suit is proof enough for that," She laughed, shaking her head slightly. "Although," The red-head continued, tone turning serious as she locked her blue eyes with his own, "If you show up in that suit I'll have your head." Despite the ghost of a smile gracing her freckled features, she meant it. As much as she loved Tony, and he loved the suit, it wasn't a love triangle.
Yes, Pepper knew he did incredible things with the suit, saving hundreds, possibly thousands, of lives, but, outside of battle and serious matters, it was simply there to stroke and flame his already over-grown ego. "You can have JARVIS, DUM-E, and Butterfingers babysit the Iron Man tomorrow night, I'm sure Jarvis would be glad to do it," Virginia assured, tilting her head nonchalantly, almost as if waiting to hear a witty remark back from the British-sounding program.
"Speaking of JARVIS, he's been awful quite today. Are you doing repairs or is he just on mute?" The red-headed woman asked, raising an eyebrow at her boyfriend.

Damn. He actually was considering surprising Pepper by bringing the suit. OK, back to the drawing board on how to make his enterance for their date. Tony smiled back, fully acknowledging what she wanted and responded "No suit, no problem" OK, he wanted the suit but she didn't need to know it after all. If pepper wanted him just as himself, that was fine. The only one he'd do anything for was pepper, and no-one else. He cared for pepper and as egotistical as he was, Pepper stood out as important to him.
Pepper then made a comment to JARVIS, but Tony wanted him to back off so he could just talk to pepper himself. And as such, he responded about it, hoping Pepper wouldn't take offense "Yeah, he's on mute, if he was broken I'd be back to a manchild, and that's actually true" Tony let out a slight snicker at that, yeah, as much as he hated to admit it, without JARVIS he was hopeless. He smiled warmly after his comment and responded jokingly "I would think talking to me would be enough"
