“Okay,” Tony gasped hoarsely in between hard coughs. “I’ll just…suffer in silence.” He let out another long series of coughs, but the corners of his mouth were turned up in a smirk, and he was looking at Carlos with a merry gleam in his eyes.
Getting a good laugh from that answer, Tony relented. "Okay, go get us
some coffee with actual sugar before with both start mixing things up
and stopping the world,“ he patted Carlos’s arm encouragingly. "I’d
still like to talk with you some more when you come back.”
“Yessir,” Carlos said with a nod. He was still smiling at his boss. “See ya in a bit.” He was honestly a little nervous about just ‘talking’ with Stark… but there was no reason not to so he tried to take it easy.
Carlos dumped out the bad coffee in the sink in the break room before having the machine dispense more into their rinsed mugs. He even taste-tested the sugar to make sure he had it right before mixing the mugs and bringing them back to Stark’s workspace.
Wow this got out of hand a bit. All the research that went into this. I’m never doing this again but it was fun. Excuse me while I go die. Sorry if it’s a bit blurry, I was working very large.
