Oh, no, not the time of year I usually spend alone with the most expensive bottle of whiskey I can find. How will I cope with the unexpected company?

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ Steve absolutely thinks Tony does not want to see him around the seventeenth, but, for all other days? ]

You know that I don't need to be homeless for you to ask me to spend a holiday with you, right? Just future reference.

You know, if you want, we could maybe watch some movies and trim a tree. Only if you're up for it.

[futurist]

I get a tree! I think they usually have an intern decorate it or something. I don't know, Pepper takes responsibility for home decor.

If we have to watch It's A Wonderful Life, I'm pushing you out a window. All other movies are fine.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Deal.

Wait, what's Pepper doing this year, then?

[futurist]

Oh, she's just in charge of the wreaths and trees and party planning, she has her own plans for the holidays. But we can invite her for a movie if you feel like you're pushing her out. Which you aren't.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Wait, does Pepper not like me or something? I don't wanna make things awkward, and I'm definitely not trying to make her feel unwelcome.

Also, any chance I can move all my things in today? I thought maybe I could use the extra time to clean my place out of all the debris.

Most of my stuff is still in boxes anyway.

[futurist]

She doesn't dislike you, if she did, you'd know it. And yes, you can move in today, I'm not going to make you huddle outside with your boxes. Do you need a car for them? I can send Happy around.

[pursuitofcappiness]

It'd probably be easier for me to run them back and forth.

Thanks, by the way. It was this or get a storage facility and an air bnb.

[futurist]

Oh my god, Steve, I'm not going to let you live in some crazy person's basement, that's how so many horror movies start.

[pursuitofcappiness]

I've survived worse.

There really was a suspiciously dirty mattress in the basement of the last one I stayed at though, that I found when I went to go do my laundry.

Didn't even get a refund.

[futurist]

Maybe you weren't supposed to do your laundry. Unless it was on the listing as a second bed, in which case, gross.

[pursuitofcappiness]

I don't think I was supposed to go down there, but it was really suspicious. Large rusty stain suspicious.

Not that I'm personally afraid they'd come murder me, I'm a light sleeper.

Wait, are you not at home?

[futurist]

I'm on a jet, it's fine, they'll let you in. Just put your stuff wherever and we'll figure something out later.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Oh, alright. Going out or coming back?

[futurist]

Coming back, so you won't have to confront the inevitable moral dilemma of whether or not it's okay to eat my food if I'm not there.

[pursuitofcappiness]

I didn't think you'd begrudge me a snack, you know I'm always hungry.

But sure, I'll wait up for you. Need a ride back from the airport?

[futurist]

I'll be fine, you just focus on getting those boxes moved and we'll have a pizza later.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Sure, I'll order Ray's. Just let me know when you get in.

I really owe you. I know you think this is small potatoes, but it's not, to me.
