The Roof of The Weirdly Tall For The Island Aesthetic Stark Tower - Sunday Evening

Harry had not found anything out about how or why he ended up here. And doors just randomly locked on him, proving that someone (JARVIS) was pulling the strings like some kind of insidious puppet master.

Which meant he ended up on the roof through a series of doors that weren't locked.

Upside? There was a whole fridge full of cheese and wine and also a hot tub. So guess who was getting white girl wasted in the hot tub. This guy.

[for those tower mates!]

Private Lab of the Baby Stark Tower, Friday Afternoon

Well, it was the nice little break time between classes and that meant Tony had attempted to plan a vacation of some sort before getting too distracted by some issue in the lab. Which was probably something to work on as well, but instead he was elbow deep in a suit of armor with music playing loudly.

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In his lane. Focused. Flourishing. Fully unaware that it was Friday.

Penthouse Apartment of the Stark Tower-ish, Monday Evening

Well, Tony was trying to figure out some logistics for things back home while also trying to figure out the logistics of another party here at some point next month. Which honestly just lead to things being mixed up and some supplies meant for the Avengers being delivered here.

Honestly, he brought it on himself for not letting JARVIS handle that.

"No, no, I need it to be picked back up," he said, phone cradled between his ear and shoulder as he typed out something. "Pepper, I know they just dropped it off, but this is the wrong location for it."

And now Pepper was getting in on the judgement of his multitasking skills.

NYC, Thursday Afternoon

Today was his and Steve's wedding anniversary and Tony, for once, wasn't going over the top with it. And that was actually his gift to Steve for today.

It was a very simple day of finding a food truck that they liked and going to The Met like tourists.

...he'd end up buying a chateau in Steve's name by the end of the day. But for now, it was simple!

Ballroom of Stark Towerlet, Saturday Afternoon

So, maybe the whole getting Steve up to speed on roller skating in the ballroom wasn't the best plan. But ice skating was happening without a lot of hot chocolate being provided, so there they were.

And now Steve had a sprained wrist that he was downplaying like his last name was actually Stark or something. Which was rude. Sure, it'd heal with record speed and all, but the principle of the matter!

"Are you sure we don't need to go to the clinic? Or maybe just get Don?"

Rockafeller Center Christmas Tree - NYC - Sunday Afternoon

Well, it had felt necessary to do the tourist thing and go look at the tree with the mass of people leading up to the holiday. The urge to do this was quickly passing as they were in the moment of it.

Mostly because it was too cold for Steve and too crowded for the both of them. But it was a pretty tree at least. The lone upside to the whole afternoon here.

"We can say we saw it now," Tony suggested, arm curled around Steve's and all bundled up in winter gear that was probably too expensive for where they were. Like he was just asking to be pickpocketed or something.

(Joke was on them, he never remembered to carry a wallet because why would he?)

Ballroom of Stark Mini Tower, Friday Afternoon

JARVIS had notified Tony that something was happening in the ballroom today. And after several assurances that it was non-threatening, Tony made his way there with a cup of coffee in hand. All of that to find out the entire floor had turned into a ball pit.

Yes, balls flooded into the elevator once he stopped on the floor. And yes, it was a mess.

"This is going to be annoying to clean up," Tony sighed, trying his best to wade through the balls.

[sometimes it's necessary]

Central Park, NYC - Tuesday Evening

So Steve was back to normal, but that didn't stop him from wanting to go on a walk. And what better place to go walking and enjoy the tail end of summer than to head on back to New York for a date night?

Okay, so maybe there were plenty of other places that didn't involve the heat or the faint summer scent of garbage. But they were New Yorkers and therefore in New York, smell and all. At least they probably didn't have to worry about any kind of alien invasions.

Hopefully.

Penthouse Apartment of That Bitty Tower Labeled Stark, Sunday Evening

Well, the whole time in New Orleans had been... interesting. Yes, that was what Tony was going with as he navigated the weird, funhouse mirror versions of events from his own world taking place in Steve's. But now they were back home and waiting for any updates from Fury.

And Steve was, well, not taking the waiting well. Which was why Tony had sent him out for dinner and he was pretty sure Steve had gone into Brooklyn for it. On foot.

Just running out all the emotions in a perfectly healthy fashion.

Penthouse Apartment of the Still Pretty Bitty Stark Industries Building, Tuesday Afternoon

There was a casino themed party coming up and that of course meant Tony needed to hunt down the appropriate tuxedo for the occasion. Or find one that he could do something fun with to make it just a bit extra. You know. As you did when your name was Tony Stark.

"Steve, have you seen my Canali?" Tony shouted from inside the walk in closet of their bedroom.

It was bold of him to assume Steve knew what the hell he was talking about.

Stark Tower, NYC - Thursday

Steve finally let Tony go all out for his birthday. Sure, it was just the two of them in the penthouse suite of the tower, but he was still doing it! With way too much catering and fireworks all set up for the evening.

Which was honestly just what was expected from Stark Industries for the holiday anymore, but still.

Hopefully Steve would enjoy the massive, patriotic teddy bear waiting for him once they arrived.

The Bitty Version of Stark Tower, Sunday Morning

Well, Steve invited Thor to come live with them at the tower. Well, kind of Thor? Tony hadn't really gotten the details of that whole deal, but was different enough for him to assume this was another universe version, but who was he to ever turn down a friend? Alternate universes and all be damned!

Which was why Tony managed to go snag some pastries from the shop in town to bring as a sort of welcome basket. Also because it was an incredibly awkward holiday for him and he was just going to do some stuff to avoid it.

So he put the food down in the common area kitchen of the guest suites and then frowned at the lack of coffee before getting that started. "J, make sure to double the grocery delivery, okay?"

Stark Mini-Tower of Healthy Emotional Choices, Wednesday Afternoon

So, Tony and Steve hadn't actually talked since everything. Mostly because Steve was busy resting and recovering and Tony was working. Things needed to be disposed of, structural damage repaired, possible financial changes arranged.

Normal, reasonable things!

He wasn't catastrophizing, you were catastrophizing. And just giving Steve time and space to process things. Yes. That was it exactly.

While in one of the rooms Steve didn't go into very often. It was fine.

Lab Beneath Stark Industries, Thursday Afternoon

Was Tony even aware of the whole armor situation that had begun as the week continued? Debatable. Possibly because he was too far in the zone, possibly because JARVIS was a deft hand at keeping things in check until backup may or may not need to be called.

It was almost like Tony had a bit of a reputation as a mad scientist sometimes. No like Reed or Hank level, but pretty damn close, honestly.

But he was continuing on designing more very niche armor pieces that were just... coming into existence without the whole production thing needing to happen.

The Still Pretty Floral Ballroom of Stark Industries, Sunday Morning

Well, yesterday had come and gone and, between getting pulled out for radio and plugging away at cleaning the ballroom, it hadn't really hit that no kids had shown up.

But now things were calmer and it was much more obvious.

It was good, right? No kid showing up to say one of them was dead in some weird potential future. Right? It was good. Fine. It sure was something.

Which was why Tony was just staring at a pile of wilted roses and considering how best he and Steve should handle this.

The Definitely Not Suggestive Stark Tower In Fandom, Tuesday Afternoon

Well, class was done and that meant the rest of the week was cleared to do very little but enjoy. It was definitely an upside to being in a committed relationship.

"So, how much food should we order?" Tony asked, already arranging for semi-regular delivers for the week. Because they weren't getting out much, thanks.

[for the fellow and SP!]

Maldives, Tuesday Evening

Somewhere warm and 'please don't buy another building, Tony' had been the two stipulations for Valentine's Day this year. One was easy and the other was just rude.

Because there went any plans to buy Steve a castle.

So, Tony thought on places they had not gone yet and then JARVIS finally picked a resort after Tony went through one too many spreadsheets of potential locations. Because JARVIS was a peach like that.

"So, how do you like it?" Tony asked, looking out at the ocean from their private villa.

Apartment at the Top of the Unnecessarily Tall For the Island Stark Industries, Saturday Morning

Tony had escaped the radio station with a slow moving garland snake trailing behind him. Which was pretty much normal for this place. It wasn't nearly as fun as yesterday, but he was still just going to go with it.

"You can get the next one," he called to the garland as he pushed the close doors button on the very much not overkill, Steve elevator.

Then took a deep breath as the ding sounded to announce his arrival at the appropriate floor.

"Honey, I'm home."

Venice, Italy - Friday Evening

After taking their class here for a museum trip, it was only reasonable to give Steve that date he wanted. Also, it wasn't Olive Garden. A place that made Tony shudder involuntarily.

That whole mention could be blamed on that last bit of weirdness.

"I've heard good things about this place," Tony said, hurrying along the street to the resturant in question.

Tony's Lab - The Needlessly Tall Stark Industries Building, Sunday Night

Well, a surprise Rhodey had come and gone. And while he hadn't been this Tony's Rhodey, he'd still been Rhodey. And that counted for something in his book.

But Tony had a project that he'd set to the side for the weekend that needed checking up on now. So, he'd left Steve upstairs to go do that and maybe, possibly, just a tiny bit got distracted by it and abandoned Steve for the siren song of science down here.

[for that guy! post fine, thread therein NFB, please!]
