Who: Tony Stark and Gwen Stacy What: Birthday Festivities Where: Tony’s Workshop When: Backdated to Dec 21
He hadn’t made a cake. Tony wasn’t going to trust himself with that kind of task, he wanted to celebrate Gwen’s birthday, not poison her on it. So he’d bribed Clint into it — the decorating was a bit amateur (cute but messy pink, white and teal) but the quality of the cake was going to be good which was all that really mattered.
Tony himself had worked on something else entirely for Gwen — both her birthday and christmas combined, if he was being honest. Not because he was the sort of person who thought that days that close together should have combined gifts, but because it was a pretty big one, and he’d been working on it for a long time. Sure there’d be more little stuff for each day, but this was the Big Thing.
He was sitting on top of his work bench, legs underneath him and digital display screens in front of him — all of which he waved away when Gwen showed up. Because she deserved the full of his attention. “Feel any older?” He asked with a grin — because, god, what a ridiculous thing to ask. It was silly, but definitely something adults always tended to do. Nineteen was a pretty spectacular age, though.
