    Summary

    He wished he could say he was at least a little disappointed in himself. He had been at the beginning of all this. He’d been almost hollowed by the guilt, disappointment, and utter disgust he felt. But that’s the most magical thing about heroin; do enough of it and all those shitty feelings evaporate like fumes.

    Summary

    Peter licks his dry lips and tries to get his eyes to adjust to the brightness, his chest muscles pulling as he struggles to breathe against gravity. “Tony?” His voice is weak, full of fear and confusion and Jesus, he feels like his body is on fire. Why is everything on fire?

    “Right here, bud.”

    “Wha’s goin’ on? Where’s May?”

    “Still on her business trip. You’ve got a pretty high fever and your heart rate is through the roof. Gonna get you home and get both of them down, okay?”

    “Did I pass out?” He closes his eyes in embarrassment because he knows he did, knows that he’s scared the shit out of Ned and Mrs. Benninger and MJ.

     

    MJ.

     

    Ugh.

    ---------------------

    Peter gets sick with pneumonia right before Christmas and May’s on a business trip, which leaves Tony in Dad Mode.
