Tony Stark-The Love Bug

"Tony!"

Startled, you pushed him away from you as Clint walked into the room, holding up the files that you had dropped in the lab.
He wore a harried expression that melted into embarrassment as he realized how close you two had been.

"Was I interrupting something?" He asked, widening his eyes at Tony, who was giving him the dirtiest look he could conjure.
"No, not at all! I was just...leaving. Thanks for the help, Tony." You mumbled. The two men watched as you darted out of the room and Tony let out an irritated sigh.

"The one time I work up the nerve to actually make a move, your idiotic self decides to interrupt. Good going." He shot sarcastically. Clint ignored the insult, pulling out a few papers from the folder.

"Look at this."

Tony grabbed the sheet and inspected it carefully. It was a well-detailed drawing of...him.

"I-I don't...I don't understand. What is this?"
Clint gestured wildly at the file.

"These are drawings. Her drawings. She's crazy talented, I've been looking through them for-well, the past 15 minutes it took to clean up the lab."

Tony was stunned.

He didn't know much about you, the only thing being that Pepper had given you the job. And even that was a confidential matter. You were a shy little thing, always clamming up whenever someone attempted to talk to you, especially him. To actually discover something that seemed a great part of who you were excited him and he wanted to get to know more about you.

"This is amazing! I've never seen—"
"Tony, look."
"What?"

Clint gestured to the bottom right of the drawing he was holding. There was a little signature that claimed it as yours and he shook his head.

"What about it?"
"Look at it, you dingbat."
Tony peered closer to the little scrawl and his eyes popped out of his head.
"Does that-"
"Yeah."
"And they-"
"Yeah."
"Oh. My. Go-"
"Yeah."

Two hours later

You were absolutely frantic. Losing your drawings was equivalent to losing a diary and you were going nuts trying to find them.
You tried retracing your steps from Pepper's office all the way to the lab.
Nothing.

With a little sigh, you began to dig around in the file cabinets near Bruce's desk. The man was messier than you expected and it took everything in you not to tear the whole thing apart and organize it. You were unaware of Tony's presence as he silently entered the lab, the folder of drawings behind his back. He watched as you slammed a drawer shut in frustration and began to open another one.

"Ahem."

You whirled around, the familiar heat rising in your face as you realized who it was.
"Tony! H-hi! I was just-"
"Looking for this?"
He held up the folder and smirked as the color in your cheeks deepened to a ruby red.

"You're very talented. I like them. Especially the one of me. Really captured my eyes." Tony gestured to his face, posing ridiculously and drawing a giggle from your lips. It was the first time he'd ever heard you laugh and as you smiled warmly at him, the familiar symptoms started right back up.

He couldn't hold it back anymore.
Even if he wanted to.

In a few steps, his lips had swooped down on yours and you opened your mouth in surprise, giving him immediate access to explore with his tongue. He drew you closer and held you tightly to his chest, not wanting to have any space between the two of you as he let out all the passion he'd been suppressing. You twined your arms around his neck and broke away, panting softly and gazing at him with a newfound admiration. He stared back at you, not quite believing that he finally had you right where he dreamt you'd be everyday. You began to say something when a shriek pierced the room, making the both of you jump.

"My little sister?!"

Tony turned around, keeping one arm wrapped around your waist, to reveal a very red-faced Pepper.
"Tony, what the hell?" She shouted. The tone of her voice made you cringe into his side and Tony instinctively took a small step in front of you.

"It's not like that, Pepper. This is different." He said in a low voice.

"Like hell it is! I'm not letting my little sister turn into one of your one night stands and if you think for-"
"I love her, Pep. I love Y/N with everything I have and I don't care what you have to say about it. Well, the negative bits anyway."
Pepper gave you a look you knew meant trouble and you bit your lip worriedly.

"I-I love him, too." You admitted, trying not to make eye contact with your older sister. She had warned you against getting involved with Tony when she first gave you the job, claiming that he was a "professional womanizer."

But, you saw none of that. When you looked at Tony, it was like the whole world disappeared and for the first time, you really felt like you belonged somewhere. You were drawn out of your thoughts as he tugged lightly at your chin, bringing your lips to his once more.

"Ew, okay. Okay, I get it! You love him and he loves you and whatever. Just-" Pepper closed her eyes, massaging her temples as she took a deep breath. "I swear, Stark, if this turns out to be one of your little games, I will kill you in your sleep."

You opened your mouth to intervene, but she held up a hand to stop you. The look in her eyes made it clear that she was in full business mode.

"Y/N is still young. Jumping into your world is like going off the rails of a roller coaster and I don't want that for her, but I can't change either of your minds."
"A roller coaster?" Tony said, puzzled.
"You're a nutjob. Face it."

Pepper turned to you and you shrank away from her piercing gaze, not expecting the small smile she had.

"I'm happy you're happy, Y/N. But, you're still my little sister. And assistant. So I want you back in your office in 10 and no hanging out with Stark during work." You nodded slowly and Pepper winked at you before leaving the lab.

"That could have gone so much worse." You whispered as Tony pulled you into a hug.

"But it didn't."

The both of you stood there for a few minutes, soaking up each other's presence before you pulled back to look at him.
"You really liked my drawings?" You asked nervously.
Tony laughed before kissing you on the forehead.
"I really liked them." A smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth and he leaned in to brush his lips against the side of your neck, sending shivers down your spine.

"I love you, Tony." He smiled at your little declaration, leaving one last kiss against your collarbone and straightening to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear.

"I love you, too, Y/N."
