Caritas; Wednesday [04/30].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer had been warned, because Tino had texted her earlier that day trying to coordinate outfits, but that still did not prepare her for actually witnessing her coworker in all his fashionable glory sporting a full-on all denim suit.

"Thanks," she told him. "I hate it."

He was going to insist that she actually loved it and was just jealous and Summer had to decide if she wanted to humor him by sarcastically saying he was right just so he didn't bother her endlessly about it and just insisting that he was categorically wrong in this and nothing he could say or do would change her mind on this.

"Like, it's seriously making me want to burn every piece of denim I own as soon as I get home. Is that what you wanted? Is that your whole goal in all of this? Because it can't possibly be to be comfortable or to look good."

And don't even get her started with the denim beer cozies he was going to be putting on everyone's drinks tonight, too.

That got Stark to risk some brief eye contact even.

"I do. But it's always true. No matter what else might change."

"And not much has," Summer reminded him. "We're still friends. And that's what's most important...right?"

"Always," Stark said, a little more fiercely than he meant to.

Always if he had anything to say about it, anyway.

"I just...haven't figured it all out yet." Or much of it. Possibly any of it.

Summer was quiet for a moment, looking at Stark thoughtfully.

"Is there really all that much to figure out, though?" she asked, and, with another of those smaller smiles, she added, "I'd tell you not to worry about it so much, but I know you're going to, anyway. But you really don't have to."

"I'm good at worrying," Stark said. Another almost smile, this one slightly crooked. "It might be what I'm best at."

"I just...I feel...I don't even know how I feel."

Still confused about what everything meant, mostly.

"But I know not everything changed but enough did and I'm just...adjusting. A work in progress. Still."

"Yeah," Summer agreed, letting out a little sigh. "I get that. I'm sorry. I'd say it'll help build character or some shit, but then I'll just end up sounding like my dad."

Her nose wrinkled and her tongue stuck out, because no one wanted to have to resort to that.

"Please don't be your father," Stark said. "Neither one of us wants that. And I think I've built enough character for several lifetimes already."
