Summertime lovin'

Chapter 2

It took Tony fifteen minutes to round up his friends and get them inside where they joined the line. First they checked in, verifying they were on the cruise before they passed though security. The group made their way down to the conveyor belt, pulling their bags behind them. Tony got stuck behind with Peter's suitcase, panicking when they all passed the metal detector and he was left behind. He struggled to lift the suitcase, as it was extraordinarily heavy. The male dropped it and sighed, growing antsy as they got farther along.

No no no please don't leave me

"Hey there...do you need some help?" A voice asked, snapping Tony back into reality. "I, um......" the brunette trailed off and looked to the owner of the voice. It was a tall blonde, with the most shimmering blue eyes Tony had ever seen. He forgot what to say, looking him over slowly. "Um. What did you say?" He asked again, not remembering what he had been asked.

"Here. Let me help" the taller said and moved in, taking the case and setting it on the belt. Tony watched him, rendered completely silent and a little jealous of the gods strength. "T-Thanks" he eventually managed to speak, eyes fixed on him. "Don't worry about it" the blonde flashed a dazzling smile, making Tony feel weak. He opened his mouth to ask something when a voice rang out. "Tony!"

Turning his head in the direction, he saw Clint signaling for him to go though the detector. Tony quickly did so and joined his group, waiting for the heavy bag. As he waited he turned to look back for the mysterious male, only to find he had disappeared in the sea of bodies. Letting out a sigh Tony decided to forget about it as he moved down the line. "What was that about?" Clint asked, helping him get the large bag down. "Oh some guy helped me get this large ass bag Peter packed on the belt" he explained. "Mm sounds nice" Clint nodded and handed the bag to Peter. "Thanks" the sandy haired boy replied, pulling the large bag with ease.

Clint went to help Laura add their tags to the suitcases before handing them to the doorman to be sent up to the room. Tony added his own, keeping his briefcase on him since he didn't want to take the risk of anything getting lost. "Alright. Everyone done?" Tony asked, looking over at his friends. "Yeah I think so" Natasha confirmed, looking at the thumbs up. "Good. Now let's board, and then we can eat something before getting settled in our rooms. We can do something at night like some drinks or explore on our own" he said, walking up the ramp with them.

It took a little while before they finally made it into the massive boat, when they made it he watched as his friend's eyes widened in awe. A smile spread across Tony's face as he watched them enjoy it. Peter's face had lit up, smiling excitedly. "Hey. You'll have time to go look at everything a little later" he promised. "Now. What do we want to eat?"

"Pizza"

"Something salty"

"Cake"

"Sushi"

"Mm sushi sounds amazing"

Tony chuckled at the multiple responses and looked at them. "Alright. Let's see what we've got" he said, stopping at one of the digital maps. A few taps got him the results he wanted and turned back to his friends. "So. There's a sushi place here. Pizza and a bakery is two floors above us and I need something more specific than salty Laura" he tuned to her. "Sorry" she smiled sheepishly. "I think I'll go to the barbecue place, right there" she pointed to the place in front of her.

"Barbecue sounds amazing" Tony agreed and smiled at her. "So let's do this. Laura and I get our food from here, we will meet up with Nat and Peter after their sushi and meet you on the top floor somewhere. Then Clint and Bruce can get their pizza and cake" he decided and looked for approval. "Sounds good" Natasha agreed and grabbed Peter's wrist, pulling him to the restaurant. Tony stood there until he remembered to keep up with Laura.

The pair stood in line for a little while before they got their food. He talked with Clint's girlfriend about their relationships while they made it upstairs. They were the second to arrive, meeting up with Clint and Bruce on a picnic table that was bolted to the floor. The last members arrived a few minutes later, and they all joined in a long conversation about numerous things. When they finished they threw away their trash and started back to the rooms.

"So we are on the 7th floor. All of our rooms are together I'm not sure in what order though. You should all have your room key's right?" He asked, getting a nod of confirmation for each of them. "Alrighty then. Let's get going" he said cheerily, heading straight for the large glass elevator. Peter looked over the edge, completely excited by the view while Bruce looked a little uneasy. "You like it?" Tony asked. Peter gave a huge nod, looking at Tony with a wide grin. "Yeah. It's amazing. I've never seen anything so cool. Thank you so much Tony" he said and have him a big hug. "Your welcome little man. And when we get back I'll help you with that biology project" he promised.

"Bruce you doing alright? Looking a little green" Clint commented as the doors opened. "Yeah yeah, I'm fine. Just don't like heights" he explained, his face returning to its normal color. Tony followed Clint's lead to the rooms, until they eventually made it. "Okay. I'm in 1123. Looks like Peter is beside me on the right in 1125, Natasha across from me in 1124. There's someone between Peter and happy couple who are in 1129 and it looks like Bruce is in 1122 to the left of Nat" he said looking at them. "Well I guess we should unpack"

"Yeah. We can meet up for drinks around let's say, ten?" Laura asked. "That sounds like fun. Should we do it in the casino or the second floor. We can't drink in the pool, but we could swim later if we want" Bruce suggested. Tony nodded and smiled at the group. "Alright then. I'll see you then" he said before they all went inside.
