"Sorry, Tony. We didn't think you would want to come."
"Yeah, you always have something else going on whenever we ask you to hang out."
Tony looked at Steve and Clint and mentally sighed. They were right, he knew that, but it still hurt that all the Avengers decided to do something together without asking him first or inviting him. Even if he might have said no, it would have still been nice to be invited.
"You're right," he said, drawing himself up. "I had plans anyways," he lied.
Which is how Tony found himself hiding out in a dark bar that he rarely patroned. He just had to relax, get his mind off things.
That's when he noticed the gorgeous blond man chatting idly with the bartender. He knew he had been caught staring for too long when the man looked his way and winked.
Tony blushed as the beautiful blond man made his way towards where Tony was sitting.
"A picture would last longer," the man smirked. "I figured you would appreciate an up close visual first. I'm Jasper. And you?"
"Are very single."
"For now."
Maybe it wasn't so bad that his team abandoned him after all.
