Summary
Tony's still thinking of everything in terms of equations and variables, and Clint is a heck of an indeterminate issue. Tony isn't exactly sure how he can solve for an unhappy variable.
Their little balanced equation was a bit more lopsided than Tony found comfortable, sometimes. Like a leaky rowboat, it listed to one side....
Still, it didn't sit right with Tony. Something was off, and it made him edgy. Watching Clint walk away to his own room set Tony's teeth on edge in a way he couldn't quite categorize.
On a whim, Tony followed Clint.

Summary
“One day you fall for this boy, and he touches you with his fingers. And he burns holes in your skin with his mouth. And it hurts when you look at him, and it hurts when you don’t. And it feels like someone’s cut you open with a jagged piece of glass, and then you realise you always felt this way.”
— The Tracey Fragments | Maureen Medved -

"Interlacing mosaics of mycelium infuse habitats with with information-sharing membranes.
