Friendly Neighborhood Birthday Man

The Surprise

Peter awoke in his marital bed alone. He felt the vastness of the empty king-size bed without his husband. He yawned and stretched. Where was Tony?

No worry. Peter's handsome husband must be working in his lab. That Tony! So predictable.

Peter took a little time to himself while his beau was busy. He had moved into Tony's wing of the Avenger compound. Everything was so fancy and high-tech. He walked into the spacious bathroom, and the tiles instantly warmed his steps while they lit up following his path. The shower was huge, with multi-directional spraying nozzles. Peter's favorite feature was the mist. He loved the feel of walking into the near-steam-like fluids as they beaded and trickled down his naked skin. After enough of that, he was ready for the massaging intermittent blast on his back and neck.

The vast space felt empty without Tony.

But Peter knew his husband was working away, so he gave him some space.

Wait...did he know that? The two heroes were newlyweds, after all. And it is never good to make assumptions. Peter checked his phone for any messages. There was a text!

In the lab-

"Ha! I knew it!" Peter rejoiced. There was more.

Working on something for us <3

Oo la la! What could it be? Peter couldn't help but smile. Then he started to picture Tony wearing some of his silky track pants accompanied by one of his practically painted-on tank tops with his greasy muscles bulging and his tools and machines whirring...

Peter was breathing faster. He had to see!

"Babe?" Peter called as he entered the lab. He had to call over the sound of the circular saw.

The saw noise stopped on a dime.

"Pete?" Tony came around the corner into view.

Wearing track pants and a slick black tank top with the glow from the arc reactor. He wiped his brow with a gloved hand.

Just how Peter liked to see him. Well, that and nude...

"Peter, I'm so glad you're here. At first, I wanted this to be a surprise but then I thought of how much fun we will have if we work on this project together!" He walked up to his love and wrapped him up in a hug. He caught Peter's scent. "Mmmm...you smell good?

"I just took a shower." Peter laughed as Tony continued to smell his damp hair.

"Hot! Well, you might get a little hot and sweaty once we get to work." Tony winked.

"I don't mind getting hot and sweaty with you, Sexy," Peter growled.

Tony wrapped Peter up one more time, this time kissing his pink lips. The two lingered for a moment. Tony was excited for sure, but he was even more excited to show his new husband his latest project. He took Peter by the hand and led him to the sawhorse.
Peter saw long wooden planks.

"Is this what I think it is?" Peter asked excitedly.

"It's everything you want it to be, Baby. And this is just the beginning. This will be an adult-size crib, and next will be a highchair, changing table, and-"

Peter gasped.

"You're making us an adult-size baby crib?! Tony, that is so awesome!"

Tony kissed Peter again.

"I'll make you everything your little heart desires, baby boy. And I want you in my lab with me working away, okay?"

Peter was fighting back tears of joy.
