[ he's not sure how, but he's absolutely certain that it's one of those mornings where waking up would be a Bad Idea. even when he's only half-awake, he can feel the dull throb in his head, signaling the presence of a progressively worsening migraine. presses a hand to his forehead gingerly as he peeks open one eye. shuts it immediately when the light amplifies the headache even further. somehow manages to roll over onto his side with a soft groan, expression twisting into one of pain as he patterns out his breathing.

several minutes later, reattempts at opening his eyes. is successful this time, leaving him to blink owlishly at the blurry image of the (foreign-but-not) room laid out before him. jerks bodily when he realizes that this is not his room, but tony's. doesn't quite get to the point of throwing himself off the bed, however, hindered quite successfully by the pounding headache. feels slightly better upon realizing that tony's strangely absent, filling him with a sense of hope that he can get away unscathed. as such, he stubbornly pushes down the memories as he wraps his arms around his head, concentrating on breathing & recovering so that he can escape as soon as possible. ]

[ & he turns their direction, not to where tinkerbell is parked behind the building, but down the street. eyes roll up toward the sky briefly as he tries to remember where tony had taken him so many months ago. when he finds that he can't remember exactly, he decidedly peers at the stores that they're passing with interest and attention, doing his best so that they do not pass it by on accident. ]

[ scoots and kicks some rocks along the ways, peering at what anthony is looking at every now and then. seems to spot the ice cream shop before anthony can, tugging on their connected hands a little before pointing at it happily. ]
