AN: And finally we are moving along into fluffy territory. Only two more chapters for this story before I move onto other things.
To note, once more, you get two chapters of this during the same week since I posted this weeks chapter of Whisper to Me on Friday. I blame being so exhausted and out of it that I just forgot that I'm supposed to do a mini on Fridays.
I also had a friend over and we were giggling until we died. But I'm seriously exhausted from having people over.

So tired.
Enjoy
*~*~*~*
It had been a month since the night where they had just relaxed together, watching bad movies and eating pizza. Even longer since the night at the ball where they had spent most of it fleecing people of their money for charity.
Ever since then, they had been getting steadily closer as friends. They were often found touching, even if it was just pressing their shoulders together while they did something. Pepper had even found Tony taking a nap on Clint’s lap while the archer had carded a hand through soft hair and read a book. The Avengers had quickly gotten used to finding one where the other was, often times in Tony’s lab or penthouse when Clint could pull him out of the lab. Which was getting to be a somewhat common thing.
Tony sighed as he slowly stretched his arms over his head and grunted softly before blinking at his current project before him. Standing up, he groaned and closed the project down after saving it, leaving the lab for the moment. He padded towards the elevator and took it all the way up to his penthouse, telling Jarvis to warn him if someone wanted to see him.
Sighing softly, he stepped into the bathroom and turned on his shower, setting it to where he wanted it before he stripped out of his clothes. He was exhausted and wanted nothing more to just relax for a while. He had been busy with working out a new bow for Clint, one that he could take on his harder missions that would be lighter for him but still do what he needed it to do.
He was close but at the moment, he was tired and hungry, along with missing his friend. He pouted at the fact that Clint still had his own missions to do, usually with Natasha, and he hadn’t really liked the smug smirk that she had sent him when they had left.
Groaning at the route that his mind was taking, he stepped into his shower and relaxed under the hot and hard spray of water over his tired muscles. Just relaxing, he allowed his mind to go over the memories of the last year ever since things had happened with Loki.
They had gone from cautious allies all the way up to close friends who could trust each other in battle against one of the idiots who wanted to take over the world. It was a novel feeling for him, having only been used by people for their own gain for a very long time. The last person he had trusted so much beyond Pepper had ripped his arc reactor out of his chest and tried to kill her for daring to butt into things. So to be close to someone was a novel experience for him.
“Sir, Miss. Potts wishes to speak with you,” Jarvis told him as he started to run a soapy loofah over his body.
“Tell her to take a seat. I’ll be out in a few minutes,” Tony replied as he continued to wash his body. He knew that if it was important, Pepper would have just walked in on his shower without any say so. Washing the last of his body before doing the same to his hair, he rinsed off fully before turning off the shower. Grabbing his towel, he dried off, spritzed some leave in conditioner into his hair, and pulled on his robe.
Walking out, he smiled softly at the sight of Pepper pulling a kettle off of the stove and pouring the hot water into a cup with a tea bag. “Do you want some tea or do you want coffee?” she asked, not even looking over her shoulder.
Tony chuckled softly. “As always, you know where I am,” he drawled as he walked to his fridge, digging out the various leftovers in there. “I think that tea would be best though. You want some food?” he asked, holding up a container full of taco meat from two days ago. “Got lots of leftovers that we can toss together.”
“Add in a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt, and we’ll have a deal,” Pepper said, getting a smirk as Tony waved a hand towards his bedroom.
“Have at it. I need to eat and I bet that you need to relax today yourself,” Tony said. Pepper groaned as she walked to the bedroom, the door closing behind her for privacy. As she changed from her business clothes into said sweatpants and one of Tony’s few extra large shirts, he set about heating up taco meat, fajita meat, and french fries in his counter oven.
With the meat and fries heating, he pulled out other things, such as a fruit salad that he had created earlier that morning for breakfast, toppings for the tacos, taco shell bowls, soft tortilla’s, and several other little snacks that he knew had to be eaten. He soon had everything put into various bowls to serve for them.
It was something that he and Clint had started to do. One day a week was set aside for them, come hell or high water, where they would do nothing but clean out their refrigerators and have a leftover day. With Clint gone though, he supposed that he would have the leftovers with his other good friend, and one who he hadn’t seen in a few weeks due to work.
“That smells really good. Tell me Clint has been teaching you how to cook healthy dishes and then using leftovers to fill in the rest of the days,” she teased, getting a snort from her friend.
“He has,” Tony admitted, shrugging a shoulder as he pulled down two of his bigger plates, placing the taco shells onto them before mixing up the meats. He checked the fries and put the entire pile onto a serving plate. “Come here and make your food. I have smaller bowls for the fruit salad,” he continued, starting to move the bowls of food that didn’t need to be heated to the coffee table. “We’ll sit in comfort.”
“That works for me,” Pepper said, moving to put together their tacos and fajitas the way she knew they enjoyed them. She put the fajitas down onto the plates before carrying them over, letting Tony bring over their drinks to.
Sitting down, Tony used a bit of the honey from the fruit salad to sweeten Pepper’s tea for her before doing the same with his own. “Alright, tell me why you came to bug me. I know that it can’t be for my mad leftovers skill.”
“Actually, my friend, I came to see you. And find out how you’re doing,” Pepper said, slouching slightly in her seat as she crossed her legs with a smirk at him. She balanced her plate as she piled some of the fries onto it. He looked at her and blinked several times.
“I’m doing fine...outside of the fact that I’m kind of bored really. And lonely,” he admitted, shrugging one shoulder. “Outside of that, I don’t know. I guess I got really used to having Clint around…”
“I’ve noticed that you’ve taken to touching him more often than not,” Pepper prompted, smiling at him. Tony blushed very lightly as he reached out, putting some of the snacks onto his own plate.
“Yeah, I’m guess I do,” he hummed, shrugging one shoulder. “I enjoy being around him. Being touched by him and touching him in return. It’s nice to be close to someone that knows all the good and bad. Kind of like with you.”
“True, but we made sucky lovers. We make better friends that’s for sure,” Pepper hummed, Tony nodding his agreement. “But I think with you two, you would make rather good lovers. You both love your independence, but you also love getting together and just being together.”
He smiled and nodded his head. “Yeah, I suppose that you’re right,” Tony sighed, letting his head fall back as he chewed on a fry. “I guess, for now, I’ll give it a try, see where things go from here,” he finally said.
Pepper smiled and reached over to pat his leg. “I’m sure that it’ll all work out nicely,” she promised, chuckling when he just stared at her.
“Damn women. Always making me think about shit,” he grumped, pulling a laugh from Pepper.
