Alphabet Stew
Disclaimer: I don't own Who's the Boss?
Alphabet series are quite popular in fanfiction, but I've never seen one done for WtB. And I did one for another fandom/ship last year and really enjoyed it, so I've decided to try it for this fandom.
(Early season five, after Sam gets her new car but before Tony starts college.)
Anniversary
"How are those sandwiches?" Tony said as he sat at the picnic table in the park. He'd spent all day yesterday preparing tuna, chicken, and egg salad sandwiches for their anniversary picnic.
Sam shrugged as she bit into an egg salad. "It's fine, Dad."
Jonathan just nodded as he chewed his tuna.
"They're great, Tone; stop worrying," Mona said, shaking her head and rolling her eyes. She took a bite of her chicken.
"And how about the macaroni salad? No one has even tasted it!" He held out the container of salad, offended that they hadn't tried his masterpiece.
"Calm down, Tony; you know we love your macaroni salad," Angela said in her soothing voice, placing her hand on his arm. The combination of her touch and voice calmed him immediately.
"Why don't the two of us each have some of that salad?" she said, her warm brown eyes gazing into his in a way that was almost hypnotizing.
Tony's heartbeat faster as he gazed back, wondering if something was changing between them. With his college plans and since Angela had said she loved him in her sleep, he thought perhaps a romantic relationship wasn't so hopeless.
But not yet.
He scooped the macaroni salad onto her plate.
