Natasha/Pepper, “Valentine’s Day Is Capitalist Exploitation” bradygirl_12 January 22 2014, 17:44:04 UTC
“Love is for children” is Natasha’s motto, except when she falls in love with Pepper.

“Valentine’s Day is capitalist exploitation” except she really likes the roses Pepper gave her, and the jewelry is awfully nice, and that fancy restaurant dinner? All right, maybe capitalist exploitation isn’t so bad once a year.

Hey, so your prompt is now a part of the Fill Exchange, which means I'm getting to work on writing it. I just wanted to know -- did you have a preference for a cracky, fluffy, or angsty fill? I can't promise I'll end up going that way, but it'll shape how I approach it.

Awesome! I didn't know that. :)

I'm thinking fluffy romance for this, but would be happy with anything your Muses lead you to write! :)

Mmmm!

Heavenly decadent chocolate? You are speaking my language, m'dear! :)

Very funny tale of the cafe! :)

And how sweet that Pepper has trusted Natasha with this knowledge, which she'll take to the grave before betraying her! ;)

Clint never catches any breaks. And I'm terribly grateful that my own experience of hay fever is fairly mild. :)

Now:
Pepper gets home at 6:45, just as Natasha is deciding what necklace she wants to wear for their evening out. She's still on the phone as she reaches the bedroom, but hangs up as soon as she sees Natasha and crosses to her quickly to tip her face up into a lingering kiss.

When they finally pull apart, Pepper brings her other arm out from behind her back.

"These are for you."

She's holding a simple bouquet of five red tulips, and Natasha smiles. At this point she has spent more years outside of Russia than within it, but some conventions stick with her nonetheless. And the gift of tulips rather than roses, arranged in an odd number instead of an even one -- this bouquet is right in a way none of the other bouquets since she defected to SHIELD had been.

Also, tulips are practically hypo-allergenic.
