[He has a weird urge to ask if Gene wants to crash here, but that's stupid. It's not like he has a long walk home or anything: he can teleport. Anyway, Gene never took him up on that offer in high school, so Tony can't see why he would now. Since they're kind-of-enemies now, instead of kind-of-dating.
...Not that he'd be suggesting it for the same reasons, of course. Obviously a sleepover would have had very different connotations in high school, when he'd still had a huge crush on Gene and hadn't known that he was a freakin' supervillain. Now it would just be, like, you know, letting him nap on the couch for a couple hours instead of making him walk home in the middle of the night - er, morning - after an intense and exhausting argument. Which he doesn't have to do anyway. Because he can teleport. So, kind of pointless, really.
...Oh my god, why is he still thinking about this? Clearly the sleep deprivation has addled his brain. Shut up, brain.
He manages to keep himself from blurting out anything idiotic, and shuffles awkwardly after Gene, following him to the foyer to see him off.]
