    Summary

    “Well, great,” Tony says. “So, uh. Who’s taking care of you?”
    “Excuse me?”
    “My condolences on Mary and Richard. Who is taking care of you?”
    “I’m six months off my eighteenth birthday,” Peter says.
    “Don’t you need a guardian?”
    “Are you offering?” Peter asks.
    “No, I’m just saying—”
    -

    Summary

    “Could I get a name for the order?” Marlene asked.

    “Serious,” the man replied. “Like the star,” he clarified, and Remus mentally scratched out 'Serious' and rewrote 'Sirius' in his head.

    “The… star?” Marlene asked, her pen hovering over the cup as she hesitated.

    “S-I-R-I-U-S,” Remus said. He stocked croissants into the display case, not looking up. “The Dog Star,” he added, “brightest star in the sky, actually. Visible from both hemispheres.” When he looked over, the man– Sirius– seemed surprised, his eyebrows raised as Remus spoke, and when Remus finished, he blinked a few times before smiling lopsidedly.

    “Er– yeah,” he breathed a laugh. “That.” There was a baby on his hip. Somehow, it had taken Remus a second glance to notice that.

    ---

    Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?

    Summary

    For someone he'd hero-worshipped for so long, Steve Rogers in the flesh is a pretty big disappointment. For one thing, he keeps looking at Tony as though he reminds him of someone else, and even if he never says anything, Tony's pretty sure it's his father. A lifetime of not measuring up to Howard's expectations is more than enough, thank you very much, and he's certainly not going to make an effort to live up to any of Steve's. Steve's pretty clearly failed to live up to his expectations, in any case, and that's not hypocritical at all.

    Summary

    Peter sits back up to lean against the back of the seat again, and the nurse gently places a paper cup of water in his hand. Peter’s grateful that she doesn’t try to speak to him as he catches his breath, she just fetches a clean container for Peter to use in case he needs to puke again and takes away the trashcan. The sips of cool water are something for Peter to focus on, and he tries to stay in that mental zone for as long as possible, tuning out everything else. As he does, he realizes there’s only one person who could A) be his secondary contact, and B) get across Midtown in twenty minutes in the middle of the day. Mr. Stark.

    .
    .
    .

    Peter has sensory overload at school, and Mr. Stark comes to pick him up. Good thing Mr. Stark is a suprisingly good mentor.
