Caritas; Wednesday [12/27].

Summer had gotten some new earrings for Christmas, so she'd shifted her pink to the bottom of her outfit to make room for a more blue to go with it today, which meant that when she came in, Tino made a joke about not recognizing who she was at first.

At least....she thought it was a joke? But as the day went on, she actually wasn't so sure, and pointed out that she'd literally also came in with a tray of jello, so...

But, apparently, Tino only saw color, and so pink pants were throwing him off.

He was also claiming to have spent his Christmas with Apu and Tiny, though, so Summer decided it was definitely a 'better just ignore Tino if she can help it' kind of night.

There was a lot to be said about skipping introductions altogether, it was true, but not in an academic setting.

"Why? What's going on Sunda--" A beat. "Oh! Right! New Years. Yeah. Duh. Of course I've got plans."

"You do?"

Summer, wasn't it sometimes too easy?

"With wh-...you're teasing? Aren't you?"

It really, really was, but, then again, so was Summer (ayyyy...)

"Mm-Mm," Summer answered, with a shake of her head. "Dead serious. It's New Years, of course I have plans."

It was easy, but Summer was not completely heartless here, so, a beat later, she did add.

"With you. Obviously."

"I didn't want to assume."

But Stark was grinning happily at her now, having already moved past his initial worried expression.

"Good. I'm glad. Is there a party here? Kitty usually has a party. Or did you want to go somewhere?"

Maybe one of these days, Summer should give Stark a reason to not just assume, but this was not that day.

"I don't know if there's one here or not," she admitted. "I haven't heard anything, but if there is, I wanna come here, but if not, we can find somewhere good as a plan B."

"Nowhere your grandfather might be," Stark said quickly.

No space New Year. Just in case.

"Where would you like to go if we weren't here? I've never been anywhere that wasn't here for the new year. It wasn't so easy to keep track before I was here."

"The only place officially Grampa Rock-proof is my living room," Summer pointed out, "and I have at least ten more years before spending New Years in my living room is even remotely an acceptable option. But obviously we could just hop over to Baltimore. Oooh, or Times Square! Or we can do like I did for my birthday that one time and portal around the world and hit, like, every time zone...."

"I enjoyed your birthday that year," Stark said, smiling softly. "I enjoyed your birthday this year."

Both had been good in different ways.

"But that might be too much, to do as many stops as we did for your birthday." They'd need someone to drag them both home and pour them into a bed.

"Maybe," Summer allowed, because it would actually be more stops than her birthday, although they would be much more spread out, "but..."

Here she paused, for dramatic effect, giving Stark a sweet smile.

"Wouldn't you like to get to kiss me every hour, on the hour, for pretty much a whole day straight?"

Stark had an alien constitution but he still might not survive and sure, Summer was half Sanchez but could she survive that many New Year's celebrations?

"No reason I couldn't do that here," he pointed out. "Or anywhere else." Like at a luxury tropical resort?

"But I would. Very much. You know I would, Summer." His earlier grin had faded into something softer and much more sincere. "As many kisses as I could get."

Careful, Stark! You knew Summer had a sincerity allergy!

"Well," Summer said, "I guess doing just the one does kind of at least make it more special, huh?"

Sometimes the sincerity just could not be contained!

"Mmmm." It was a noncommital sort of noise. One could be special. Several could still be special if they tried.

"It might. But I...I'm up for whatever you might like to do. I did pick where to go for Christmas. Maybe this weekend is your turn to choose."

"That is true," Summer allowed. "Alright, then, I'll pick. MAybe with a few extra stops, depending on how things work out."

"I think we could both survive a few stops," Stark said. "If they were good stops."

As if Summer would pick bad celebrations. Stark knew better.

"Even if there is something here, we could stop somewhere else earlier. Do we need to go shopping?"
