Who: Pepper Potts and Tony Stark
When: June 6th, 2012 (backdated)
Where: Stark Tower, Tony's Penthouse, NYC
What: Pepper has birthday presents for Tony
Rating: PG
Pepper was usually generous when it came to gifts for Tony's birthday or for Christmas, but always tasteful and appropriate. She had never overstepped what she considered the boundaries of propriety. This year, she might have gone a little overboard, and she attributed it entirely to the fact that he was taking more and more risks with his life, and as much as she admired him - as proud as she was - she was also uncomfortably aware that she didn't know how many more birthdays he had.
It was the most morbid, disturbing thought she'd ever had, and her reaction to it was completely irrational: for the first time, she was indulging him like the 'five-year-old in a man's body' she often compared him to. A small pile of brightly wrapped presents sat on the floor in the circle of the couches, and a richly iced chocolate cake waited on the counter.
Asking JARVIS to call Tony up from the lab, Pepper waited perched on one of the barstools, wearing a dress - not a suit - of soft lavender, with a gauzy skirt dotted with yellow flowers, highlighted by the pale yellow four-inch heels on her feet.
