[ The video turns on to reveal your local Archivist, deep scowl on his perpetually tired face, an already very used looking pencil behind his ear and a cigarette between his fingers. Yes, that particular habit is getting worse, but judging by the open sky above him he's at least not taking it inside.

But it's the scowl that mainly addresses the network. ]


Very well. Might as well inform you all that the hospital staff has been reduced to one. I am no trained professional, have no noteworthy abilities that qualify me for the task, but I... I will do what I can should the need arise. I won't always be at the hospital, so you will have to contact me should you need anything- And I ask of everyone to abstain from needlessly reckless endeavors more likely to getting yourself hurt than resulting in any progress. I... I just-

[ He pauses, takes one deep breath and closes his eyes. ]

... I can't split myself in two.


I'm sorry.

Tony's eye wasn't easy to catch, darting nervously around Jon's face, his blush and the usually hard line of his mouth, until they focused more safely on Jon's hair again as he deliberately combed it back into place, gently trying to put him back together like he had held his shoulder back out of curling in dejection, realizing as he did how justified Jon's panic really had to feel-- he had spent most of their time together trying to take him apart. That was a real leap of faith that Tony hadn't earned. That would have been a ratchet for his anxiety without the soothing touch of Jon's thumb, and Tony let his eyes close instead of panicking, relaxing back down with both hands against the counter without the worry that he was going to make Jon feel trapped and bowing closer to his level. He almost jumped away again with a surprised snort so he wasn't laughing right in Jon's face, finally meeting his eye with a question, how did Jon expect him to take that?, and pressed, "Are you sure? You didn't learn anything about Altair's anatomy that piqued your curiosity?"

Taking Tony's face like that was a real test of his patience, only stalled by that expression that he was sure he had yet to see from Jon making Tony's weight shift noticeably as he started to pick one hand up to fully push Jon away and hold himself back from ruining his chance to find out what had put that grin there. He had no reference point, only further challenged by the steady delivery, to anticipate what he was going to say and found himself laughing as much at the proposition as discovering what Jon actually found funny, barely managing to suggest, "Finger painting, I hope. Think of it more like a sculpture." Totally patience bust by then, he was still giggling when he pressed their mouths together, a clumsy move that Tony seemed to be cultivating a habit of with Jon that Tony hoped wasn't as obvious to him, a clear sign of a giddy stumbling through tension that was not at all the kind of image Tony was used to presenting. There wasn't much of a reputation for him to uphold here, but that only made it worse, Jon didn't even know how cool Tony was supposed to be. His hesitant hold broke away from the counter to take Jon's elbow, asking for help to take mercy, don't make him laugh and guide him back on track.

It wasn't clear if that was meant to be a promise or a threat, but Tony was sure it was the sexiest thing Jon had done to him, at least consciously, between the slow timbre of his voice, taunting sense of denial as he closed his fist for the barest contact and the unexpectedly intimate press of his fingertip that seemed to reach into Tony's core and make his breath catch; that was more sensitive than Tony thought it was, without a tough web of scars and feeling delicately hollow, not really a place he had let anyone see let alone touch for a very long time. It left him distracted and squirming in the kiss, then flinching away at the extra pressure and catching Jon's tickling hand to lace their fingers together safely against his shoulder. With his other arm around Jon's waist, it felt enough like he was leading in a dance that he submitted to a few slow steps back, focus more on capturing Jon's lips again and pressing for more contact, not eager to move away now that he had a taste. This was really not what they were supposed to be worrying about, Tony's charge to be careful had been severely drained of power.

Already feeling bruised from the wet slide of their lips and blissed out from the touch through his hair by the time his heels hit the boxes behind him, Tony had to take a deep breath to drag himself away, managing it on the third attempt when he had released Jon's hand to stroke his knuckles up Jon's throat and tip his chin back, making his mouth harder for Tony to chase into another lingering kiss. He slid down to the seat with a sigh instead, passing both hands down Jon's flanks to keep him close between his knees as he did and only catching himself with his nose pressed to Jon's waistband and hands curling into fists on his hips that he hadn't even given Tony permission to touch him, let alone press his face eagerly against his fly. It felt distant and foggy, but Tony was pretty sure the invitation had been for tea, not for Tony to suck him off. He forced himself to sit taller with another creaking stretch of his spine that made his whole body shudder as he passed his hands up Jon's back to keep dragging him close and into the press of Tony's lips to his stomach through his shirt. He only managed, "Um," between kisses, unable to shake off the fog until he had eased himself back against the cool wall, then could finally look up at Jon with a grin as he asked, "Is this how you make tea where you're from? What step in the process is this? I'm not complaining, but I have to know how jealous I should be the next time you offer a cup to someone, is this part of the formal ceremony or a casual thing?"

Jon's debauchery didn't suit him at all, Tony thought, which left him watching Jon's progress with adoration and surprise that the frayed edges could be even more gratifying with that easy smile than the flash of anger in his panicked responses while Tony had slowly worked at picking him undone. The glow of it left him eager to find what else Jon kept locked behind that irritated pinch of his brow, tensing and ready to tip Jon right over to suck filthy marks into his skin and leave his clothes damp and twisted, but was easily stayed again by Jon gathering his fretful hands, leaving him driving his shoulders back into the hard stone with his hips pushed forward, tenuously balanced against his appetite. It made him slow to realize how much safer the anger might have been.

Not looking away this time and holding Jon's gaze in a cautious study, Tony brought their hands up together to kiss each of Jon's knuckles, calculating how seriously Jon meant him to take that statement and how he could most easily deflect it. On its own, it wouldn't be a risk, plenty of people insisted in this same position that they never did anything like this, of course, they weren't that kind of girl or their boyfriend really trusted them, honestly, but it didn't feel nearly the same. Tony didn't have a lot of confidence when he tried, "You're right, it would be all downhill from here, you're really setting yourself up for disappointment after this," knowing his arrogant grin didn't have quite the tooth he intended and keeping it pressed to Jon's fingers.

Fuck, he didn't have to say it like that. Of course he did, he wasn't going to let Tony off easy and utter something crass about the fuck of his life, Tony knew that going in and should have been more prepared to feel like he should already be apologizing for the myriad of ways Jon was going to find out Tony could disappoint him. How he still didn't trust Jon, to start with, still ready to deflect and assure him of course this was their little secret the second that haunted look appeared on Jon's face as he tried to pull his dignity back together. Tony was deliberately still, trying to ease the ache in his chest with a slow breath, both of those things couldn't be true, at least, just one of them, not a problem, until he knew he couldn't look Jon in the eye anymore and dropped his other hand to tug him close by the front of his shirt, pulling the tails free to expose his back to the eager glide of Tony's palm finally on his skin. The kiss was burning intense but brief, just long enough for Tony to gather Jon's shirt up his back against his wrist and between Jon's shoulder blades where he could keep careful hold as he rolled them to the side like he had been itching to, and laid Jon back against the blankets. It left him positioned to nose what was left of Jon's clothes gathered against his waist out of his way to move the burn of his lips across what he could reach of Jon's ribs, trying not to linger on how easy they were to count as he bowed down to continue his adoration of his soft stomach. The arm that held him moved down with Tony, pushing his back up to curve into Tony's attention and bare every twitch and breath to him.

It earned an appreciative murmur, words indecipherable and lost in the sweet warmth of his belly until Tony was up against the limits of his contortion. He rocked forward into Jon's hand as he turned to tuck his leg under him on the bench, his knee crowding Jon's hip against the wall to push his thigh higher against Tony's side and into his free hand. He had dropped his forehead against Jon's chest, watching down his body as he followed along the inseam of his pants with his thumb to rock the heel of his hand against the crotch, his fingers curled to tug the waistband into his fist. The curve of Jon's body between them left Tony with the barest impression of the jutting top of his hip and the dark trail under his knuckles, but he had to tear his gaze away, pushing himself up on his elbow to try to catch Jon's eye. His expression was a question, but his voice was gentle reassurance for the squirming and tension he could feel clutching near his arm, the words a steady mumble that Tony clearly wasn't thinking about and he slowly lowered into Jon's chest to punctuate with the brush of his lips along the gathered hem of his shirt, "I should have said, before, you are beautiful, sweetheart, I couldn't keep my hands off of you, of course I'll put up with you, look at you, I want to--" He stuttered, catching himself, fingers flexing against Jon anxiously until he blew out a slow breath against Jon's fluttering pulse. He hadn't even said anything, Tony couldn't blame Jon that time, and he tried to smooth over it with an insistent press of the heel of his hand for an answer.

Those noises were what Tony thought he was trying to coax out of Jon, but the way he had to freeze, a palpable heat under Tony's hands, made a very tempting display, making Tony bite his lip to stop from pressing him any further to find out already what Jon was trying to hold back before he had his permission. He was grinning back when Jon caught his breath, the adorably prim discard of the glasses and the giddiness infectious enough to make Tony give a breathless laugh that he turned into Jon's palm as he tried to leave him with a kiss. He barely had to form the word before Tony was tugging his fly open, sliding himself down the bench fast enough to drag the blankets askew and starting to giggle again. He was eager, rushing to get Jon right back where he was a moment ago, and get himself where he had wanted to be what felt like decades ago when Jon had pushed them over here, making up for lost time with his hand still curled around Jon's zipper to wrench his pants out of the way of the wet press of Tony's open mouth over the fabric of his underwear. His laugh was a hot breath against Jon, ending in a whimper of pleasure at the drag of the damp cotton he could feel catching on his lip and Jon's skin.

Those blue eyes had darted up at Jon's mumble, but it would take a much firmer hand to get Tony to slow down, never mind stop, his smile from the distraction of Jon's warm voice and the taut stretch of his body between his raised arm and the twitch of his hips parlayed easily into the scrape of Tony's teeth as they caught on Jon's waistband to help pull. His hand had slid from under Jon to smooth down his side and drag his clothes down his hip to his thigh, quickly tugging the fabric from Tony's teeth to let him mouth down every revealed inch of his length, barely gathering the underwear out of his way before abandoning them to wrap his fist around Jon and guide him against the eager curl of Tony's tongue. Every move was delicately careful, Jon so unfamiliarly soft and thin under his hands that every touch felt like pulling a wire and too much pressure would leave a disastrous kink, but it had been far too long-- since being struck by the thought about three minutes ago, sure, and since Jon had bruised him with that burning stare of determination that Tony felt like he carried like an exposed wire in his chest as he tried to find his way closer, and he took too much of Jon into his mouth too fast, tongue dragging up as he pushed his head down to meet his knuckles. A shiver ran though him as he tried to catch his breath, hand dropping from Jon's fly finally to clutch restlessly at the blankets between his thighs, but Tony didn't ease off, only pushed his shoulders back like that would help him stop feeling so tight and crowded.

The touch to his hair was enough to disrupt Tony's laser focus, relaxing the tension in his shoulders as he let himself draw back enough to pant for air around the careless teasing of his tongue along the contours of the head of Jon's cock, and reconsider his position. This one wasn't working. Not about to break his connection now that he had it, Tony shifted his arm first around Jon's leg, between him and the wall, hitching him up and closer with a hand wrapped around his thigh, letting Tony continue to adore his skin with sucking kisses as he rolled onto his hip again, already a relief to his own erection trapped from his crouch on the seat before he was shoving his own clothes out of the way of his restless fist. He wasn't shy at all about the moan he sighed against Jon then, and muttered his own appreciation for the adjustment like he talked through a project on his bench. It let him take Jon into his mouth again, working more deliberately and fingers flexing on Jon's thigh with the rhythm he found, melting easily into the taste and smell and fill of him until Tony was lost.

Every laboured gasp was heat in Tony's belly, the sweet tone of Jon's voice more satisfying after the strangled grousing Tony had teased out of him. If he had a fraction of the patience, Tony would gladly draw this out to listen, until the engine turned over and those moans became peppered with the frustrated squeaking he had been so kindly generous with, but just the fantasy of it made Tony have to pull back with a filthy, slick pop of his mouth to bite his lip with an urgent whimper. He wouldn't be able to last through that without a solid pair of cuffs, he clearly couldn't trust himself. His attention was back on Jon in a breath; he had a wealth of feedback, if he didn't let himself get completely distracted by Jon's voice, to treat him ruthlessly to the wet tease of Tony's tongue and the heat of his mouth-- the twitch of his thigh under Tony's hand, the urgency of his tug at Tony's hair, the way his hand slid down the wall, and every hitch of his breath for Tony to chase relentless to what luscious resonance he surely had when he broke and let Tony lap him clean.

The shock of pain from Jon's urgent grabbing was electricity through Tony, almost enough to drag him away as the suction of his mouth fell into a gasp and gravelly groan of his own, reveling in it with a push of his shoulder into the scrape of Jon's nails. It wasn't enough to distract him from the hit of salt against his tongue, though, and Tony tugged back, swallowing Jon deep in an imperfect seal of his slick lips. Tony wasn't far behind, Jon's last shudder running down Tony's spine like a kinetic transfer, a hum of a tightly drawn wire, the taste of him, the burn of pain and the build and crest of his voice making Tony press his forehead to Jon's stomach, clutching tight at his thigh as he mumbled futilely with his lips still ghosting over the head of Jon's cock, "Wait, wait..." to not one thing in particular; to the pull of Jon's fingers through his hair, to this tenuous moment where Tony could keep his face pressed into the welcoming warmth of him, eyes closed and sweat running together to mix with the taste of Jon on his tongue, to his own hand that wasn't about to listen for the first time now and Tony spilled into with a shuddering moan that he tried to stifle against Jon's hip.

He gave himself until he could manage a few steady breaths, kissing his way blindly along the guiding jut of Jon's hip until he could bring himself to flutter his eyes open and slide his gaze across the room to the open door. That had been very easy to forget, but was prompt enough now to get Tony to drag himself up, clothes already tugged passably decent and the rag from his pocket in his hand by the time he was sitting back on his heel and tucked close to Jon's thighs again, bracing his elbow on Jon's bent knee to press his knuckles to his swollen lips as his other hand curled around Jon's waistband. He held it there, less eager to pull Jon back together at the sight of him, almost perfectly what Tony was hoping for; softening length slick with Tony's spit on his belly, sweat catching the light with every breath as his chest rose and fell, clothes twisted carelessly and face blissfully glowing. He watched instead with a dark, half-lidded stare, slowly smiling around his hand.
