Friendly Neighborhood Birthday Man

Sweet Serenade

Tony had done everything he could to keep his sick fiancé comfortable.

The room temp was turned up to a blazing degree.

Extra blankets and comforters were added to the bed. And Tony himself held Peter tightly to share his body heat.

And it seemed to be working. Even in his sleep, Peter grasped Tony with his whole body wriggling for more warmth.

Everything combined with radiating heat from Peter's fever caused Tony to be drenched in sweat.

But he endured.

With one arm still wrapped around Peter, Tony reached to sip his water bottle from the nightstand.

Peter stirred at the slight movement. Feeling guilty Tony returned his arm to hold his adult-babe.

The couple slept past noon. Peter woke with a painful groan causing Tony to wake too.

"Still hurting?" Tony nuzzled Peter's sweat-damp hair, both of them soaked. "Is it any better at all?"

"A little." Peter managed to choke out, pressing his hand to his aching forehead.

"Drink up, You lost a lot of water through sweat." Tony held Peter across his lap cradling his head in the crook of his arm and fed him the water bottle.

Peter thirstily suckled as if he couldn't get enough.

Once the bottle was finished Tony got up to fill a baby bottle with hot tea.

This one, Peter suckled slowly, letting the warmth from the beverage nourish him.

"It looks like we're going to need another bath." Tony chuckled as he brushed his fingers through Peter's damp hair.

"I'm too nauseous to get up right now," Peter admitted. "And yet I'm really hungry!"

Tony had room service bring up some hot soup and more sheets.

Peter only ate a few bites before dozing off to sleep again.

He was so deeply asleep that he didn't wake as Tony changed his swollen wet diaper and replaced it with a clean, dry one, though he shivered when the blankets were removed.

Peter woke up again an hour or so later. This time he was able to fully open his eyes.
"Daddy!" He cried out as he nuzzled Tony for his heat.

"Oh, Baby. You're cold because you're so wet. Are you ready for tub time now?"

Peter nodded, but it took everything in him to let go of Tony long enough for him to start the bathwater.

Tony sat Peter in the hot water and returned to change the bedsheets.

Then he sat behind his lover massaging him with soap again, pausing every moment to kiss Peter's temples.

"I thought you said your spider powers would fix this?"

"I feel much better!" Peter even smiled a bit.

"That's good!" Tony hugged him to his chest in the water.

Tony loved everything about this man.

Tony used the fluffiest towel to dry Peter just like the night before, only this time, once the two were back in bed, he turned the bedroom television set to cartoons.

Room service had dropped off fresh, hot soup and tea with sushi.

Peter was feeling up to eating the cold, round seaweed-wrapped morsels.

He looked impossibly adorable mouthing the finger foods.

Tony wiped his cheeks for him with his bib.
