Even after years of no evidence, Tony Stark refused to stop looking for his kidnapped son. Some people called it false hope, others called it fatherly love. But May Parker called it an opportunity.

“You and that kid share quite a few similarities, and the case has so little evidence. With your help, I really think we could use those things to our advantage.” Peter was dubious. “How, though?” he asked, his tone teetering toward sarcasm. It was a natural impulse that he couldn’t consistently avoid. No matter how hard he tried. “What do you want me to do? Knock on Tony Stark's front door and pretend to be Arno?” May said nothing as she stared at him from across the table. Initially, he didn’t understand. But as she elevated her eyebrows and tilted her head, it clicked. That was exactly what May wanted him to do.

He’s two weeks into his search when he sees the advertisement, small and unassuming, tucked away in the back of the local newspaper. “Andromache Restoration seeks furniture restoration specialist,” it says, and provides a mailing address to which applicants can send a portfolio. Nicky pauses, coffee cup halfway to his mouth, more than a little stunned by the opportunity. He knows of Andromache Restoration—knows the artists there from the work they’ve done across London, the paintings cleaned and repaired, the ceramics restored from broken pieces, the metalwork reforged.

You see, it feels like I’m starting to care

Summary:

“Smooth,” Yusuf said, running his knuckles over Nicolò’s freshly shaved skin.

Nicolò squinted – that word is not in his vocabulary yet. Yusuf knew the word in both languages, he could have easily translated it. But instead, he took Nicolò’s hand and put the palm on his jaw and rubbed it over his beard. “Coarse,” he said in Arabic. “Smooth,” he repeated with another caress to Nicolò’s jaw.

“Coarse,” Nicolò repeated first. He said it again in Zeneize and got the meaning right.

Yusuf felt a little drunk. “Adam’s apple,” he said next, touching his own. Nicolò repeated the word carefully. Then he said it in Zeneize, touching his own throat.

Nicolò’s breath stuttered in his throat as Yusuf pressed a kiss to his Adam's apple. Brief and chaste, lingering just a touch long to make his intention, his invitation, clear.

Nicolò didn’t kick him, or shove him, or run away. He sat very still, he might as well be a statue if it wasn't for the blush creeping down his neck, staining his chest. Yusuf felt reckless.
