Today, Peter Parker's the one behind the bar. Tony sits on the barstool opposite from him. Typically, they stand at about the same height, but when he's seated, Tony's just the tiniest bit shorter.

Peter looks down at the glass, and then down at him. "You think this is enough alcohol?" he asks, gesturing at the glass, filled with amber-colored rum. He'd asked Tony if he'd help him learn how to make drinks, but Peter was self-conscious about the entire affair, checking in for the Tony Stark seal of approval almost every step of the way.

He really wanted to make a good drink for Tony.

"You?" Tony blinked innocently. "Well, there is a condition."

[st_ormbreaker]

"What kind of condition?"

"In here? For all intents and purposes, I am a single father." Tony gestured back down the hallway where his son was probably being so patient. "We're a package deal. Can you accept that?"

"What, you and the Spider-Boy?" Another perplexed expression, probably the sixth of the night. "Yeah. He's a sweet kid."

The furrow in his brow deepens.

"Does that make me his future step-father?"

[st_arkravinghazelnut]

"What I'm saying." It was a formality, but it needed to be said. "I wouldn't trust my kid with most. It's a sign of honor, here."

"I'll look out for him," Thor promises. "You have my word."

Regarding Peter, Tony glanced back towards the doors sitting at the end of the hall once again. He was surprised the boy hadn't come chasing after him expecting the worst by this point--if Thor hadn't showed up, Tony likely would have been passed out hugging the toilet.

"So. I had a date with the kid, and I think it'd be appropriate if I went back to break the news."

[st_ormbreaker]

"Should I..." Thor twirls a finger over in the direction of the double doors.

Go with? is the unspoken question.

It took him a moment, but Tony caught his drift. “Oh yeah, yeah.” He placed a hand back on Thor’s, lowering it. “But let me do the talking.”
