Temptation

"So, today we are getting a new roommate." Same begin the weekly meeting.
"Roommates? Is that what we are?" Peter whispered to Tony.

The older male shrugged, "Maybe he's on something too?" Peter suppressed a smile and tried to pay attention to Sam's speech.

"His name is Thor and this will be his third time in a treatment center. Please treat him with respect and care you would yourself." Sam lutchered.

"So with no respect." Tony joked to the shorter male. Peter held in a giggle and bit down the smile that was threatening to surface.

"He will be arriving later today, so in the meantime, we'll be cleaning the whole house. Your sections are posted on the bulletin so get to work." Sam finished with a smile.

Peter sighed when he realizes that he was stuck cleaning the kitchen with Steve. Tony, who was hanging off of Peter like a letch, laughed, "Good luck buddy, Steve's a hard head!"

The younger male watched as Tony left to go upstairs. He was signed to clean the halls. "Buddy?" Peter wrinkled his nose in distaste and made his way to the kitchen.

Steve stood by the stove with his arms crossed and facial expression neutral. "I'll wash the dishes, sweep and mop the floor. You can clean everything else." The blond curtly spoke.

Peter bit the inside of his cheek and nodded his head quietly. The doe-eyed male watched as the taller man began washing the dishes. Peter took in a deep breath and started on his chores.

Thor was taller than everyone in the house. He also had mismatched eyes a what seemed to be a hasty buzz cut for a hair cut.
His boyfriend Bruce had dropped him off with a solemn expression. Peter watched as the couple shared a bitter goodbye kiss before parting ways.

Thor stood next to Peter as Bruce drove off into the background. There was an awkward silence for a few seconds before Thor spoke up, "This is my last chance. He told me that if I put him through it again, he'll leave me for good."

Peter didn't say anything and eventually, Thor left to go inside.

"So since we have a new roommate I'll let him go first, Thor if you will." Sam gestured to the tall blond.

Thor shuffled in his seat before speaking, "My name is Thor Odison and I'm here because I'm an alcoholic and addicted to steroids."

"Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?" Sam nodded, trying to get the man to open up more.

"My younger brother died because of drugs. I met my partner of three years at a bar, and I used to study storms." Thor rattled off looking bored.

"Can I go now?" Wanda questioned raising her hand. Sam sighed and waved his hands signaling her to go.

Instead of paying attention to the redhead story about how her and her brother had it rough growing up. Peter was more focused on the blond who looked like he was about to fall apart.

Peter knew that look, it was one that plagued Aunt May for years. And one that still does. At the moment, Peter knew that he would try his hardest to get better.
But, with the drug sitting next to him,  would be hard to maintain that mindset.
