[GP/EP] Check-In Day: Pastabilities

The last check-in day had come and gone as quietly as most other days, but Tony had made it a point to linger around the lobby every two weeks. It was tradition, after all. You could only be cynical about a pink eldritch prison for so long before you felt the need to inject some decorum, however half-assed.

During a quiet trip to a Wisconsin suburb Otherworlds, Tony had snagged an old Harley-Davidson calendar at a garage sale (why not), unique in that the previous owner had filled every single square with national holidays. Today was National Linguine Day. Truly, the most hallowed of all holidays. To celebrate, he made an order to the kitchen to bless the inn with trays of pasta, inclusive to all diets. No gluten or dairy for him, see how long that lasted.

Despite the swift approach of fall, San Luis Obispo boasted sun and 70 degree weather, so Tony arranged a chair and table outside and fiddled with a little mechanical orb the size of a jawbreaker. He prodded at its insides with a screwdriver while his half-eaten pasta dish sat ignored, his glasses magnifying the orb's internal features.

Steve lifted his mug of tea as if in a toast. "I'm glad you did." Then he clinked his mug against the mug of coffee in front of Tony.

Now Tony and Thor didn't have to pretend in front of him, or put on a show, or change the way they acted. Steve wasn't sure how this was going to all play out, but he was going to be supportive. That's what he did. He wasn't lying when he said he was happy for them. He really was. Steve loved them in a very, very different way from the way they loved each other--lower case l--and was truly happy they found one another here.

"Cheers." He said, then sipped his tea.
