Marvel Moments: A Collection of One-Shot Adventures

Depressing december

Peter sighed. This was his first Christmas alone. He had been to the sorcerer and gotten his memory erased from the entire world. He felt alone. He sighed.

He pulled out a guitar. He was sat on the pavement. He was just going to sing. He had his EDITH glasses on, not knowing there was a setting that was a new AI made by Tony that incorporates himself into it. Tony was always there with him, knowing what his son was going through was hurting him so badly.

Fell hard, fell fast
I miss this
You hurt, I hurt
Long Distance
Facetime all the time
The thing is
Time goes slowly without your kisses

People gathered around to listen to the song. They could feel the heartache in it. Tony was listening to his son.

I chose to swim down your river bend
I chose the ring now we're living in
Paradise, paradise is nice
When we're together yeah, yeah
I love these Christmas lights
But hate to be alone
Froze inside
Whenever you are gone
Christmas lights
But all I see is dark
It's depressing December I've fallen apart

The audience was giving him lots of notes and coins. He just sung. He wasn't really after money, but he wasn't going to refuse. He just loved to perform.

Christmas lights
But hate to be alone
Froze inside
Whenever you are gone
Christmas lights
But all I see is dark
It's depressing December I've fallen apart

By now tears were in Peter's eyes. He just felt so much pain and grief and it hurt that he feels like this.

Forbidden fruit, I taste it
Just like a drug, in my head
Your time with my time, addicted
Time makes no sense when I'm stuck trippin'
I chose the path most wouldn't dare
I chose distance, thought I wouldn't care
Paradise, paradise is nice
When we're together yeah, yeah

The tears fell at his words. The audience were hooked and Peter was pouring his heart and soul into this song. As if he could never sing again after this.

I love these Christmas lights
But hate to be alone
Froze inside
Whenever you are gone
Christmas lights
But all I see is dark
It's depressing December I've fallen apart
Christmas lights
But hate to be alone (To be alone)
Froze inside
Whenever you are gone (When you're gone)
Christmas lights
But all I see is dark
It's depressing December I've fallen apart

He slowed the chords for the next verse. He finally looked up at the audience, looking around each and every one of them.

Tony watched his son, today was the day he was going to show the AI.

Fly me to your place tonight
I'll wear your crown
Call me at the midnight strike
Let your plane touchdown
No Christmas special is comforting me right
Like Santa break through my chimney
I think you should stay the night
I love these Christmas lights
But hate to be alone (Hate to be alone)
Froze inside
Whenever you are gone (When you're gone)
Christmas lights
But all I see is dark
It's depressing December I've fallen apart
Christmas lights
But hate to be alone (To be alone)
Froze inside
Whenever you are gone (When you're gone)
Christmas lights
But all I see is dark
It's depressing December I've fallen apart

Peter finished his song. He placed the guitar down and just cried. A lady came over to him and gently rubbed his back.

"Are you okay?" She asked softly.

"I've lost all my family and friends this year. They've all died. I'm all alone, I'm not handling it too well," Peter said softly. The lady frowned.

"Where are you staying?" She asked.

"I got myself an apartment, it's my month anniversary of them passing. It's just me," he said gently.

They sat talking with the other audience members for a while.

That night, Tony came through and spoke with his son, finally letting Peter feel better.
