lunch

"Peter!" Tony called from the living room. He heard a thump and the boy emerge from the room wearing a blue sweater over a plaid shirt and jeans, trying to catch his breath.

"I fell off the bed,"

"Not even going to ask- do you wanna come to lunch with us? I figured you're probably hungry." Tony asked, shoving his left hand in his pocket.

"Oh, uh- yeah!" Peter stammered, slightly startled by the question. He thought Tony would want to stay away from him due to the previous circumstances.

"Alright, get your shoes on." Tony began walking out the house behind Stephen and Bruce and beside Steve. Peter rushed to throw on his sneakers, bursting out the house on the other side of Tony.

"Where are we going?" Peter asked awkwardly as they piled into Tony's car. Tony sat in the drivers seat, Steve called shotgun, Stephen and Bruce sat in the back, and Peter chose to sit in the trunk.

"McDonald's," Tony chuckled. Excited screams could be heard from the trunk.

They finally arrived a few minutes later, stepping inside the building. They all ordered and sat down in a booth.

Peter quickly grabbed his french fries, stuffing his mouth with them. All the other men at the table ate slowly, engaging in conversation.

Tony and Steve seemed to be engaged in their own conversation, holding hands under the table. Peter continued stuffing his face with fries.

"Are you doing anything tomorrow?" Steve asked Tony, who was taking a sip of coffee.

Tony was about to answer before Stephen interrupted. "Who drinks black coffee with a cheese burger at 1 in the afternoon?"

"Me, got a problem?" Tony chuckled, forgetting Steve's question and taking a large gulp of the scolding drink. However, Steve and Tony continued conversing, causing an awkward tension.

"I gotta use the bathroom," Bruce muttered and quickly got out of his seat, rushing to the bathroom. Stephen noticed how distressed he seemed, and followed him.

Peter finally looked up from his fries, still holding one in his hand.

"You enjoying those fries, Pete?" Tony asked, unaware of where Stephen and Bruce went. Peter nodded, grabbing his soda and taking a large sip.

Bruce sprinted to the restroom, slamming a stall door shut and locking it. He grunted quietly, tugging at his curled hair as he fell to the ground, leaning against the cell wall. He tried to hold back tears as he sat, trying to catch his breath.

"Banner," A voice boomed, echoing throughout the bathroom walls. Bruce wiped his eyes, coughing. "Uh- yeah?" He asked, trying to stop his voice from cracking. "Open up." Stephen responded, knocking on the door from the stall Bruce rested in. Bruce hesitantly unlocked the door, standing up and putting on a fake smile.

"Hey- uh- what's up?" Bruce asked, rubbing his eyes again.

"Is it Tony?" Stephen asked, immediately knowing why Bruce was so upset. Bruce didn't reply for a few seconds, before taking a deep breath.

"Is what about Tony?"

"You know what I'm talking about."

Bruce sighed, ashamed. "Yeah."

Stephen pulled Bruce into a tense hug, as he was not used to showing affection. Stephen was able to identify Bruce's feelings for Tony since he met him. Bruce would always seem uncomfortable around Steve and Pepper, especially when Tony showed his love for them. Stephen was mostly upset that Tony wouldn't give all his love to Pepper instead of half, but he pushed that aside to support his friend.

"You're funny, Banner." Stephen broke the silence. "You seem tough on the outside, but you're really just a softie."

Bruce quietly laughed, breaking apart from Stephen. "Shut up."

"Where's Banner and Strange?" Steve asked, finally noticing their absence. Peter swallowed his fries, picking his head up. "They went to the bathroom."

"Together?" Tony cocked an eyebrow before Stephen and Bruce came back.

"Hey, I'm gonna get going," Bruce said as Stephen sat back down in his seat. He let out a small sigh, as everyone else's heads perked up.

"Why?" Tony asked.

"I don't know, just tired."

"Alright, see ya Bruce."

The men said goodbye to Bruce as he walked out of the restaurant, taking a deep breath and strolling away. Steve and Tony didn't seem to be bothered by this, however, although Stephen was.

Peter was still eating his fries.
