First your words, now your soul

[Tony looks at his watch as he's waiting by the car in front of the compound. He could finish his day early, so he got here a bit early for his and Peter's celebratory dinner.

After they have found out that they are soulamtes, Tony went to Pepper and asked for advise. It was panicked, it was all over the place, but thankfully she could sort it out. She had advised him to just grow accustomed to the idea of a soulmate, and to the idea that it is Peter and only then pick a date about the press conference. The age difference could be an issue, but thankfully not too much with soulmates. People just accepted the fact that whoever your soulmate was, then that's it. It was written on your skin, so that person was for you, regardless of gender, age, or... anything else. So Pepper was very positive in that aspect.

Tony was happy that they still had time before all the madness would arrive. He also had to sort out his feelings about it all too. He's always thought of Peter as a very precious student of his and now he turned out way more. Tony just has to find out how much more exactly.

For their celebration he has picked an out of town pizza place. He rented it all out so no others would be there when they go and have some pizza, milkshakes and good talks.]

[Tony laughs, looking quite smug himself. Millenial humor isn't only for millenials after all. It's also entertaining to watch Roger's reactions to all of it. He lets Peter guess, but really, Tony has been on the internet since the beginning, as if he wouldn't keep up with the trends.]

[The desserts arrive in a short time. Tony makes a note to thank Happy for the place recommendation. It seems like a place he could frequent at after all. The bill is paid and as they get up from the table, Tony subconsciously reaching for Peter's hand.]

So what's the verdict, Peter? Did you have fun, or you're gonna pretend we're not soulmates anymore?

[Peter pouts slightly at Tony pleading the Fifth rather than answering the question, but he suspects it’s something he’ll have to continue dealing with. They’ll get closer, he hopes, and not only because of being soulmates—he genuinely likes Tony as a person, both because they have a lot in common but because he’s so naturally charismatic.

The dessert is good enough to keep him silent, though, licking his spoon clean and sighing happily at his full stomach. He tries and fails not to blush when Tony takes his hand, squeezing softly but otherwise not drawing attention to the touch just in case it makes Tony stop. His other hand raises in a thumbs up before he bursts into laughter.] No, it was great! And even if it wasn’t, it would take more than one bad date for me to consider ditching you, soulmates or not.
