Peter had been doing this for a few weeks now, ever since Tony’s funeral, when Stephen had said his door was always open. He never said much, just sat with Stephen to do his homework as Stephen researched and worked, but every Friday, 4 pm, Peter would be there.
It didn’t escape his notice that that had been Tony and Peter’s lab time.
