//gonna ✨try these✨

Will be random!

He was trying, keyword, to be nice, since he was given the coffee. Not even from a bad cafe, either.

"You're going to have to trust me on this, unless you've got someone else lined up to play tour guide to the twenty-first century."

[𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐀𝐌— @TrepidusArmatus]

It was a physical struggle, biting his tongue while he sipped coffee and everything. He could refrain for the moment.

"Shot of espresso with foam, best thing on the planet."

[𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐀𝐌— @TrepidusArmatus]

Every day, Steve gives him fuel for the age jokes. Every single day.
Of course, since he was gifted coffee, he'll refrain for a moment.

"Remind me to introduce you to an Italian macchiato sometime."

[𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐀𝐌— @TrepidusArmatus]

Well, he appreciates it. He ran out an hour ago and there's still so much of the day left.

[𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐀𝐌— @TrepidusArmatus]

//Steve: does something nice

Tony: stunned and skeptical

[𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐀𝐌— @TrepidusArmatus]

He—
He didn't have to do that—

... Consider him pleasantly surprised.

[𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐀𝐌— @TrepidusArmatus]

Takes me to dinner once and suddenly he's making me coffee.

[𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐀𝐌— @TrepidusArmatus]

Sighs.

Alright, fine.

[𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐀𝐌— @TrepidusArmatus]

He did leave! Yesterday.

Define surprise, he's curious.

[𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐀𝐌— @TrepidusArmatus]

Fuck.

He ran out of coffee in the lab.

[𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐀𝐌— @TrepidusArmatus]

+ Of course, he'd wasted his luck piloting a missile into space. Of course, things had to go wrong.

What had started as just being a touch pale, had escalated into his leaning far too heavily on the wall for support on his way.

The sacrifice play.

God, if they only knew. Fury's rag-tag band of misfits and anomalies. If they only damn knew that even putting the suit on was taking a drastic toll.

Not that he volunteered that kind of information. Not with these strangers. +

Having finished smart mouthing off for his appearance, and a brief call with Fury himself, he'd meant to head back up to his floors. The penthouse and his lab before he felt too sick to stand. +

@princepsamerica + run for some space to breathe.

A mass deterioration from the partying he used to do all the time. Even as an act.

"Yes, father time. Or we can circle back to some classics. Capsicle, star spangled man with a plan, I could go on, actually."

[𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐀𝐌— @TrepidusArmatus]

@princepsamerica "Night's still young. I'm sure that I can find a reason to bolt down the road." A shrug lifted his shoulders, as if he was at all serious. His tone had to betray it for the joke it was, though.

He could handle small interactions, usually one on one, without needing to +

@princepsamerica + less social than the world might think. Preferring the comfort of his lab or the garage. Letting people into those spaces more difficult than it should be.
