Surprise! Another couple thing
Natasha and Pepper are the couple that would lounge against their bed with some cake and ice cream. They'd watch a action movie or a rom com.
Pepper and Natasha are the couple that would dress to nines for big events but on days off. Pepper is in sweats, hair up messily and bunny slippers. Natasha is in a big onesie with fox slippers and a sleep mask.
Pepper cooks between the both of them but Natasha can scrounge up really good desert food.
When Natasha and Pepper are together, things are smooth. They are a power couple in a different way.
Natasha knows when pepper is stress by how much she tugs at her hair or start rubbing her neck. Pepper knows when Natasha is stress because she will paced none stop or mumble about something on her mind.
Pepper knowing Natasha might out live her doesn't put a strain but she knows it worries Natasha. Natasha fears she might leave Pepper far to early.
Pepper knows being an extraordinary assassin is dangerous, so she insists on getting further training. Natasha tried but she succumb to being pinned by Pepper. Pepper gets trained by Bucky.
Natasha will never admit (Tony would tease her forever), but seeing Pepper taking off the helmet of rescue will be her Apollo, Michaelangelo, a damn pisacco. Especially now she understands Bucky stares on Tony for the same reason.
Pepper sleeps in on her days off. Natasha has an internal clock set for 5 am on the dot. Pepper will get up with her on days she has to work. Natasha tends to read till Pepper wakes up on days off.
Natasha tries not to worry Pepper when she is way. When she is able, she sends gifs to her hot pot. Pepper loves it.
Pepper calls Natasha, her little widow, her soldier, milady, sugar (Natasha melts at that one). Natasha only has a few small nicknames, Hot Pots (mostly private), love (in Russian possibly), Honey (Potts), Boss, and simply star shimmer (Pepper freckles). When Natasha feeling petty because bucky and Steve won't shut it, Her Iron Woman, is one she uses.
Pepper helped three times. Once because Natasha asked. Another to protect Tony and Rhodey. And last to protect Natasha. Natasha watched as the blue armor glowed hot that memorable night.
Natasha was courted by Pepper. Pepper said I love you first. Natasha responded with a date that made them both blush.
Both aren't sure they even want kids. Pepper and Natasha aren't against it if a cloning incident happens but it's not on their radars right now.
Pepper was told that Natasha might be 40 years older than she is. Pepper finds it attractive.
Natasha has taught Pepper several weapons just in case. Pepper taught Natasha some tips and tricks for blending in better in a corporate environment.
Pepper and Natasha are the couple that would have a snake and Doberman as a pet. Pepper is the Doberman and Natasha is the snake.
Natasha invited her little hodge podge family once (Never again!). Pepper invites Tony, Rhodey, and Happy. She is not on speaking terms with her sister.
Natasha and Pepper are the couple that would hold each other's pinkies.
They elope, at Niagara falls. They honeymoon in Germany, some of Peppers family is from there (headcanon).
Their first kid was indeed a cloning issue (Morgan, her non blooded related cousin was also a cloning issue)
Natasha found out one night, pepper glows a tinge orange on her cheeks, fingers, and around her chest due to the left traces of extremis. Pepper found out that Natasha can lift close to 200 pounds (with a small amount of strain)
So far thats all I got for now! I might do thor and Bruce next or strange and loki
