AN: a very late birthday fic for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pervyficgirl! Idea came from that 25 character list meme a while back. Someone ended up choosing the numbers for Pepper, Dick, and J'onn, which I couldn't make work, but the idea of Dick/Pepper stayed with me...
Long before Pepper Potts was named CEO of Stark Industries and fell in love with a man who flew around in an armored suit saving people, she had been a student at Hudson University. Her last semester there she met a young man, Dick Grayson.
Now, Dick wasn’t your average college student. He was rich, handsome, and managed to pass all his classes without ever seeming to show up to one. Pepper, on the other hand, never missed a day and wondered what Dick could possibly be doing during all that time. However, they were hardly friends so she never asked.
It was by chance that their physics professor assigned them as lab partners. Then, it was like most things that shouldn’t happen, it came about quickly and quietly before either had a chance to notice. One minute they were going over their notes for the following day’s test and the next, their clothes were on the floor and they were in his bed.
From then on, Dick made a greater effort to attend more of his morning classes, even managed to stay awake through most. The nights he didn’t disappear, they spent together. When she wasn’t working, they had lunch. It was very casual and intimate all at the same time. But they both knew their days were numbered. She was graduating within weeks and no one but Dick knew what he had planned for his future.
“You can visit,” Pepper tossed over her should one day as she dressed. She’d known for a while about her acceptance to the UCLA Anderson School of Management all the way on the other side of the country, but waited to tell him. Nothing was going to keep her from going, and yet a tiny part of her wished she could take him with her.
Dick was laying back on the pillow, his hands tucked behind his head, looking very relaxed. “I could,” he smiled and reached for a loose strand of her red hair, “I’ve wondered what all the West Coast fuss is about.”
Pepper laughed. Dick did, too. But somewhere in the back of their minds, they both knew his visiting wasn’t likely to happen. Before she could say something, he sat up to kiss her shoulder, then moved towards her neck, and neither gave it much thought after that.

I loved this ficlet and how easily they flowed together. :) I can easily imagine them as a college couple that didn't last, but certainly had fun while it lasted. :)
Such an awesome ficlet, thank you!
no subject
It seemed so plausible. Dick and a lovely red-head? Yeah, it happend! ;)
no subject
If Pepper ever found out someday what Dick was doing with his nights, she'd laugh and laugh! :)
no subject
She'd probably start wondering, "Is it me?" ;)

I bet she'd get a kick out of it. Or resign herself to the fact that she's never escaped superheroes.
Probably a little of both! =D
