MacYarnold's
Harry's poor eyes were tired.
He'd been up with nightmares the night before.
So, Stark's message at 6am was not appreciated.
"Yoohoo boy. We need you to take the fossils out for lunch. Think you can do that?"
Harry took that to mean, get here for twelve and run with the wind.
So, Harry's poor eyes were red and tired as he stood waiting in the lobby for his two charges.
"Young Harry!!" Thor boomed as he yanked the smaller male into a hug. "I hear we shall be going to this place called the cine-ma!! To watch a film. I can't wait!!!!" The god squealed.
Harry rolled his eyes and held back the whine that wanted to crawl its way out of his throat.
"Sure." Harry gritted his teeth.
"Steve. Anything you want on the way?" He asked the old man.
Steve nodded. "I've been wanting one of those modern day burgers Tony likes eating. Happy called in to MacYarnold's one day for Tony, and it smelled nice. I've wanted to try some ever since."
Harry sighed. It was going to be a long day.
The McDonald's near the cinema was packed.
Screaming children, annoyed parents and even more irritated workers filled the area.
Harry had forgotten it was half-term, so all the kids were on break.
The trio stood huddled around the touch screen making their order.
"This is electric like the phone Tony gave me." Steve pulled his out of his pocket to show Harry. The wizard stared at the soldier for a second, and then rolled his eyes for what felt like the hundredth time that day.
"Yep. It runs on electricity. Most things do these days. Now, did you want the double cheeseburger, or the bacon double cheese?"
Steve, Harry had learned, struggled with making choices when there were loads of options. So, he had come up with a plan, give him two or three things to choose from and he had a better chance.
Harry had a better chance.
At getting home by six pm.
Steve could take hours when choosing otherwise.
"Ooh. Bacon please." Steve noted that it seemed to have pickles. "No pickles please, and no burger sauce, and no lettuce please, and no mayonnaise, and just cheese and bacon. Thank you."
Harry stared at the man again, before modifying the order and putting in four of the largest burgers they had. Steve could eat enough for a small village and still be hungry.
"Thor, what do you want?" Harry sighed.
The big guy peered down at the screen before shrugging.
"I shall have what the mighty Rogers has ordered." Thor waved his hand and wandered off.
Harry grabbed his hand and yanked him back, and considered stopping at the local Mothercare for some reigns for the guy. Thor probably wouldn't mind anyway.
Having added ten more burgers to the order (the pair could have seven each), and three packs of twenty nuggets, Harry ordered some chicken selects for himself, and five packets of chips.
"Now. Do you want a McFlurry?" Harry asked, hovering over the dessert menu.
Steve pulled Thor in to look at the many options available.
Harry watched the pair fondly- the two whispering and pointing with excitement about the oreo or galaxy options, and realised he was smiling with annoyance. He wiped that expression off his face, and scowled.
"Young Harry!!" Thor addressed him. "We shall have the oreo cookie crumble ice cream please."
Harry added three to the order, he loved oreo too.
Then, came the worst part.
Queuing with a baby and an oblivious man-child.
"Young Harry, is it nearly our turn yet?"
"Young Harry, when's the food going to be ready?"
"Son of Potter, I demand you to ask them when they'll be ready with our food!!"
"Thor!! Come back here!!"
"Thor, you can not just go up to some random person's child and try and play a game with them!!"
"Thor!!!! Can you not just stand here with me like Steve's doing?"
"Thor!!"
"Guest number 097?"
"Guest number 097?!!"
"Harry, Harry!! That's us!!"
"Yes, Steve. Go and show them our reciet, and pick up our order while I stop Thor from stealing those balloons."
"This is a cinema!!" Thor gasped, arms full with bags of chips.
"Yep." Harry said, and dragged the pair over to the digital screens again.
"Oooh. More touchy thingies." Steve giggled.
Harry brought up the options, and chose the recliner option for them to sit in.
"What are we watching today?" Thor asked.
"Looks like we've got: Big Hero 6, Interstellar or The Human Centipede 2. Yeah, we're not watching that- Thor will have nightmares, and Stark would probably call me in to sing him to sleep." Harry muttered.
"Okay guys, science thriller, or superheros?"
"Superheros please." Steve begged.
Thor jumped up and down. "Hero, hero, hero!!"
Harry bought the tickets, and then pulled the pair over to buy some popcorn and drinks.
"Going to the cinema is so fun!!!!!!!!" Thor screamed, as the employees made up two buckets of sweet and salty popcorn, and one sweet for Steve.
They took their McDonald's to their reclining chairs, and Harry sat Steve and Thor down in their seats to sort out the McDonald's order, before returning to pick up the popcorn and drinks.
Then, on return, the teen stopped to smile at his two charges. Thoe was trying to share his chips with Steve, and Steve was tucking Thor's McFlurry in his cup holder. They were both watching the ads and every now and then giggling at something.
Harry couldn't lie.
It was cute.
On the way home, Harry watched the pair dance down the street with a small smile.
"They say we are what we are!!" Thor boomed loudly singing and skipping.
"But we don't have to be!! I'm bad behavior but I do it in the best way!!" Steve came in to harmonise.
Badly.
But they were so cute, Harry couldn't help but take a video of them.
