yes i'm aware his birthday was last week this is coincidental-ish. maneuver timelines however you need for your muse to fit. I know this is long im sorry.
It was Tony's birthday party. Specifically, it was his 38th birthday party, and less two weeks ago, he'd held a press conference shutting down Stark Industries weapons manufacturing division after he returned from Afghanistan. The arc reactor weighed heavily in his chest, in every sense of the word.
It was a surprise party. Tony hadn't known about it, he'd been going up to his home with Obie next to him. He'd been the one to organise it, and when Tony had immediately protested, he'd heavily slung an arm over his shoulder: "You're out of the business of war, my boy. You've got to keep your connections somehow. Time to get better at the business of partying." Like Tony had ever been bad at that. There's a look in Obie's eyes that Tony can't decipher.
And now he's half-tipsy. He hadn't planned to be - not ever again, actually, after 3 months brutal sobriety - but Obadiah had pushed whiskey into his hand and he never could say no to it. He's still watching him. Tony's trying very hard to get the two women tripping over themselves as they speak to him at the bar to leave him alone when someone else approaches.
