Tony settled in there for a little while. He could work, sure, he could always work. But he had just finished a project, and he usually gave himself a bit of break after that.
"You know what I want now? A muffin. A big fat blueberry muffin." |
"Mmm," Maeve said, grinning. "A chocolate chip muffin sounds really good." She looked at him. "Know any good bakeries?"
|
"A few. One of them is pretty close, we could walk." Tony grinned. "And get muffins. And maybe bring muffins back for the others. If I'm feeling nice."
|
Maeve grinned.
"Let's go get muffins, then," she said. "Muffins sound good." |
Tony nodded, getting up and setting Togepi down next to Ninetails so he and Maeve could go. He didn't think the little one needed to go with them after all.
|
Maeve nudged Ditto so it was next to Togepi.
"Stay here," she said to it. "If Togepi wakes up before we get back, use Sing to put it back to sleep." Because she just knew that if Togepi woke up before Tony was back, it would get upset. |
Tony snorted but didn't actually object, instead walking with her down to the bakery. It was a little hole in the wall place, and the owner grinned when he saw Tony.
"Back again, Mr. Stark?" "What can I say? I just can't resist." Tony grinned. "What will it be today?" "Muffins. Lots of muffins." |
"I take it you're a regular," Maeve commented, looking at Tony. She grinned. "Not that it's a bad thing, you understand."
|
"Hey, this is a great place," Tony said with a grin. "Go ahead and get whatever you want. And pick something for Steve."
|
"For Steve, or for Steve and Julie?" Maeve asked. She grinned. "Although, if you let her, Jules would take over your kitchen completely."
|
"She has her own kitchen she can use, although she can use mine if she makes goodies to share." Tony paused. "But go ahead and pick for both of them."
|
Maeve grinned a bit and looked at the selection before gesturing to a pair of muffins.
"Those," she said. "For Steve and Jules." |
Tony nodded and picked out a few more to bring back.
"There, that ought to do it." |
Maeve nodded.
"Now we should head back and find a movie to watch for the evening," she suggested. |
"Sure." Tony paid for the muffins and took the bags, starting to walk back with her. "Any preferences for a movie?"
|
"If I say a chick-flick romance, will I get one?" Maeve asked teasingly, grinning a bit.
|
"Nope," Tony said with a grin. "Not with me, anyway, you'll have to ask Natasha."
|
"Natasha?" Maeve asked, blinking. "Natasha likes chick flicks?" She shook her head. "I can't even imagine it."
|
"She secretly watches them at night in her room," Tony said with a grin. "Sometimes she even watches them with Clint."
|
"That is absolutely mind-boggling," Maeve said. "The Black Widow watches romances. That has to be the guiltiest of pleasures for her."
|
"Probably," Tony agreed. "Either way it's amusing as hell." He grinned. "Especially when she drags Clint in."
|
Maeve snickered.
"I can imagine," she said. She stretched her good arm a bit. "Ugh I can't wait to be out of this sling, I want to be able to use both my arms again." |
"You can't have that much longer," Tony said, looking at her. "Or you could be like me and just take it off and ignore it."
|
"I like staying on my doctor's good side," Maeve replied, grinning a bit. "I actually do what he says."
|
Tony snorted but didn't say anything else, just taking the muffins up to the kitchen.
"Now, should I find Julie and Steve, or do you think they've snuck off somewhere to relieve some of the sexual tension between them?" |
