WHO: Tony Stark, Cloud Strife, technically open if you want to hang
WHERE: The forge? I don't know the structure of this post eludes me, it might be just network, I might just be setting up a bunch of interactions for Cloud to have with everyone else like a benevolent god
WHAT: Tony's been making things and has packages for Reeve, Tommy, Sansa and Jon, and he's not doing all of that walking himself.
WARNINGS: It is genuinely not my fault that all of Tony's posts are horny and you should just expect it now.

a text to Cloud
hey

where are you?

you want a job, right?

Come to the forge.



Outside of the forge, sitting in front of the closed door very pointedly, were five lumpy bundles, the wrapping of these clearly not Tony's strong suit. One of them seemed to be just in a big leaf. They were all labled with thin tags of impressed aluminum tied or just placed on top for Cloud to figure out where they were supposed to go with just a name-- the rest, like who any of these people were and where to find them, was Cloud's job to figure out, apparently.

At least one of them should have been pretty easy.

C L O U D
It was...a chocobo? Or how Tony remembered a chocobo looking from the glance at it in Reeve's memory. Small, grey and surprisingly heavy, it wound up to go bouncing away on weirdly articulated legs. Did Tony think he was paying Cloud?

R E E V E
It's a head.
This might be what Tony thought a cat skull looked like. It wasn't much like the design he had left for Mini-C's skeletal structure in Reeve's sketchbook, he obviously had some time, and the obsessive insomnia turned to 11 after the sleep glut and nowhere to pour his creative energy, to take a more detailed turn, and he would have used the energy to make more of the structure but they were still tight on materials. What he did make was a few servos, dangling from the skull shape like a disembodied nerve system, and a prototype pair of hands tucked safely into the dome, too delicate to be very useful to Mini, but responding to their programming housed in the skull. The systems were done, was the point.

T O M M Y
Was this what he meant by hydroponics? It wasn't like Tony had managed to miss that bit of drama on the network. It wasn't assembled, a bunch of disparate pieces that didn't come with instructions, but a note that only read 'you need a tube'.

S A N S A
This bundle had a pair of brass combs in it, stamped, much like the labels on the packages, with roses. If Sansa hadn't figured out how to keep her hair from being a mess, maybe this would be a reminder.

J O N
A very tiny little knot of a rag, about as big as the label that sat under it, and felt light enough to be empty.
It seemed to only contain a gold chain.

The laugh may be unexpected, but it's a very good tool to lift some of that tension off of Jon, who still feels very much out of his element. And even though he isn't actively doing an awful lot at this very moment, Jon still feels that he is perfectly capable of doing even that wrong. So the pieces of reassurance and encouragement... They help. Especially at keeping Jon's mind in this moment and positively flustered as he blinks an eye open again to look down at Tony and-

Well, that sure is A look.

Jon finds enough time to swallow once and mumble an inaudible curse, not having a proper response for Tony's request at that very moment and any contemplations he may be having are put on hold when Tony moves to take him in deep, earning him a gasp and a fist clenched into his hair as Jon's hips seek to match Tony's rhythm, his free hand finding the edge of the workbench to hold on to for balance. Would it be terrible to tell Tony that Jon likes his mouth and all those things the man knows to do with it? Will Jon find himself able to return the way Tony is making him feel yet again?

He will have to find out.

But right now any proper though Jon may try to grasp is in shambles. Instead, Jon can't help but watch Tony, face equally flushed as enthralled, the hand he has in Tony's hair slowly sliding through his hair and down the back of his head towards his neck. There are a few noises he makes that may be interpreted as attempts at saying something coherent, however.

That Tony is more or less trying to figure out Jon's limits isn't a detail Jon is aware of at this point, even though by now he is rather aware of Tony's general tendency to seek out and breach limits where he finds them. His own as well as those of others.

There seems to be a very brief pause in which Tony pulls his head a bit further back. It doesn't last very long before Tony moves forward again, this time taking in the entirety of Jon's length which causes Jon to freeze in place, a sharp little noise stuck somewhere between a moan and Tony's name escaping him as he looks down, the nails of his hand digging in slightly at the base of Tony's neck in response. He's very glad to have chosen to hold onto that work bench with his other hand or his knees might just give out.

"...f-fuck, Tony...!" Jon manages between gasps and the hand at Tony's neck sprawls out again to massage away the little marks of his nails.

He doesn't get much further than those two actually understandable words before Tony's own moan reverberating through his throat and subsequently over Jon's flesh send a delightful impulse through his entire body draping a blissful numbness over Jon's mind again and having him join Tony's sound of pleasure with his own.

Jon finds himself breathless for several moments and all he can do is stare down at Tony even as the man nuzzles his way up Jon's body. And where Tony is undecided whether he wants to go up or down, Jon ends up making the decision for them this time by letting go of the work bench and allowing his legs to give in and gently nudge Tony back down with himself to settle down in Tony's lap and wrap his arms around him with a yearning sigh. "You... are something." Jon just mutters the first thing that crosses his mind.

"...hmm." Jon hums against Tony's hair, letting his hands move down Tony's back while gently rocking against him. One of his hands meets the waistband of Tony's pants and trails along it with a small sigh in response to Tony's lips against his neck. Just how is it that Tony always manages to stay clothed while Jon ends up an unsightly mess... Part of him wants to apologize for that. To argue being called beautiful of all things. But another brush of those lips against his skin push those thoughts away. This is neither time nor place for doubt.

"...maybe-" He starts instead, closing his eyes before continuing with a rather daring suggestion. "-maybe next time... we can try not to end up on the floor." Assuming there is a next time. There may not be. What does he know? What can he hope? He can feel his heart pounding between his ears and knows his face is trying out different hues of crimson at the mere suggestion.

And maybe to distract a little from that potentially bold assumption, Jon finally has a verbal response for Tony as well, even if it's a timid one. "I- I like touching you. And- Being... Touched by you."

“Oh-“ That’s about what Jon manages to get out before Tony gets both of them off the ground, resulting in his mostly unclad form pressing against Tony as Jon holds on, a short noise of surprise escaping him, closely followed by a fresh blush in response to naked skin rubbing against a clothed, yet definitely warm body.

When Tony puts Jon down, the Archivist’s eyes are wide, his face is positively red, but he does recover quickly enough to take a quick look around. He appears a bit impressed, even.

And then he chuckles when Tony joins him. “Christ, please.... Don’t- Don't apologize! This-“ He gives the bedding a small pat and lets out a short laugh. “Actually pretty nice. We’d be doing a lot worse at the library.”

That said, Jon closes his mouth again and smiles before rolling onto his side and towards Tony. Having fully dropped his pants somewhere on the way over, he moves one leg over Tony’s and proceeds to push himself up enough to give him a soft, lingering kiss. One of his hands moves down to Tony’s pants and starts to undo it, now that there is more room to move and he can actually reach him. Another kiss follows and between that one and a third, Jon adds a little whisper.

“Don’t apologize. Not for this.”

Jon may apologize later for his utter lack in experience, but... Well.

I'm not sorry, but WELCOME TO THE AWKWARD TRAIN!!

The sudden grasp of his wrist is a surprise and has Jon stop for a very brief moment, a moment filled with the sudden doubt that Tony may not want to be touched by him. Which a certain part of his mind considers to be a reasonable response to Jon's somewhat uncharacteristic approach.

Thankfully, he isn't given much time to dwell on that thought as Tony pulls him in for another kiss that cuts away the little concern that weighted heavily on him and he can almost physically feel it drop away from his heart.

"I- uh.... I rest there, yes." He admits as he takes a moment to turn his eyes to where his hand is undoing Tony's pants quite clumsily, making him bring in his other hand to assist for eventual success. Please don't ask how many other people Jon has ever undressed in his life. "I actually got two blankets and- The basement is pretty labyrinthine and--" Jon has fallen into rambling a little while pushing Tony's pants down, then falls silent as he unearths his treasure.

And for a solid moment Jon stares, his mind trapped between absolute blankness and a thousand warnings to not make any mistakes. Once that moment passes, Jon quickly returns his attention to Tony and presses another kiss to his lips while the first of his fingers brush certainly too cautiously over the now exposed flesh. He has seen Tony do this. He can certainly... Mimic.

"L-let me. Please." Jon says softly, not entirely hiding the nervous tint of his voice just before he moves down Tony's body to end up sitting on the other man's legs, a look of nervous concentration paired with faintly trembling excitement on his face. Jon wraps a hand around the length before him, certainly more cautious than Tony may like, then bends down and after casting a look back up to Tony's face as if nonverbally asking for permission, plants a kiss right there on the very tip.

that's the plan~ <3

The little gasp he gets from Tony is a good start, or so Jon hopes. He is literally stilling the trembling of his hand by closing it around Tony's flesh, an uncertain thumb slowly stroking up and down its side while Jon is quite literally trying to get a feel for it.

Tony made this look so easy. But the man is a lot less restrained than Jon is, who tilts his head to the right at first, then to the left, contemplating what angle might work for him. He doesn't know. But he knows he can't make Tony wait forever only because he's unable to decide. So he licks his lips in a testing way before carefully taking the tip into his mouth, not knowing what to expect. What he knows is that his own heart is hammering away wildly and that Tony's "I'm all yours" has sent a shiver down his spine Jon can still feel this very moment.

He doesn't do an awful lot at first. Mostly just getting used to the feeling of the tip of a solid dick in his mouth. His hand is making a few experimental moves up and down its length now, probably giving Tony the impression that Jon hardly ever even touches himself.

A little further up from his hand, Jon remembers that he ought to use his tongue as well and he runs it over the tip in his mouth just as experimentally as his hand around the shaft. Right. That's... That's how this is done. Sort of. He'll figure it out. He's watched Tony!

And Jon freezes again at the sudden movement, eyes going wide as he looks up at Tony and suddenly feeling incredibly exposed. A very particular brand of shame washes over him and Jon just wants to shrink away. It's his eyes that flick away first. Then, with a remarkably undignified pop noise he releases Tony and backs away guiltily.

"I- ah... I-i-I'm sorry." He doesn't look back up. Right. He has blown this one. And not in the way he has been supposed to. And he pulls his hands back into his lap, quickly wringing them together.

"... y-you make this look so easy." Jon finally admits, clearly embarrassed and not looking back up.
beholding_archivist: (Done.)

[personal profile] beholding_archivist 2020-07-24 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
Tony shifting his legs under him sure results in some awkward shifting on Jon's end until it's clear that Tony just wants him to move closer again. And yet Tony's words are very good at increasing Jon's embarrassment with the situation. So even if he glances up briefly, he is quick to grimace and cast a quick look away.

"It..... it was that bad...?" Does he really have to ask? Knowing that the answer is embarrassingly obvious already?

Jon brings one hand up to rub it over his face, feeling not only embarrassed, but also frustrated with himself. "I'm sorry. I- I just... I'm not--" The sentence isn't finished. There are too many things he feels he isn't. Tony may just pick his favorite if he is so inclined.
beholding_archivist: (Bleh. DO not want.)

[personal profile] beholding_archivist 2020-07-24 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Well... That too, I suppose." Jon admits with a defeated sigh. He sure isn't tall. Or well-built. Or particularly good-looking. Or charming. Or-

He drops that mental list and lets his attention be directed back at Tony. Tony, who despite this obvious disappointment is acting so kind and patient rather than being mad or outright laughing at him. Jon really owes him this trust, doesn't he. That, and some honesty about what's already obvious.

"...I'm not good at this." Who would have guessed? "Actually- I-... Haven't." And a vague gesture follows.
beholding_archivist: (That's not ideal)

[personal profile] beholding_archivist 2020-07-24 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
“Oh, dear Lord, no! It- it’s not that bad!” Jon is overly hasty to clarify, but the response doesn’t come with a significant blush covering his face again. “I- I just... I don’t actively seek out these... Activities?” A short pause and an exhale and he adds a little more steady. “It’s very situational.”

It’s a bit of an odd conversation to have, for Jon at least. Then again, the entire situation isn’t exactly a usual one and he does draw a bit of reassurance from Tony’s small displays of affection despite h the e teasing. At least the teasing is something Jon is Familie with.

Letting out another long exhale after a matching intake of air, Jon finally brings himself to raise one of his hands to place it against Tony’s neck, the tips of his fingers lightly touching the man’s hair. “It’s been a few years...”
beholding_archivist: (In need of tea)

[personal profile] beholding_archivist 2020-07-24 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It’s Jon’s heart that freezes for a moment at Tony asking him whether or not he should stop, and the reaction is carried over to the slightly tightening grip of Jon’s hand on Tony’s neck. And he slightly shakes his head. “N-no. I don’t want you to stop, I-“ And he takes a deep breath. “Stress. Frustration. When I got wound up too tightly.... A coworker.... He helped me unwind a few times? It was rough. Sometimes too angry or too desperate. That- thing.”

And for a few moments Jon is silent again, his other hand now slowly moving up to settle over Tony’s heart. “I mean- I... possibly could call you a situation, but.... It’s different. I love you and- And I want to make you happy. I want to see you happy and maybe that can be in my presence. Maybe... I just. I want to try.” Happiness instead of fear. That... would be nice.

Tony has met some of Jon's coworkers, indeed. Not all of them, and none of those he worked with during his years in Research. There were no memories from that time that Jon has been able to find, but that may well be since he hardly has made any memories worth displaying from that time. He just spent a lot of time reading articles and disproving statements. He actually would like to go back to those easier times and the more predictable work.

But all of that lies in the past. In the past on a whole different planet. And at least over the past years of nearly dying Jon has shed off the worst of his temper issues.

Being pulled into that embrace and finding Tony lacing their fingers together stirred up a warmth in Jon's stomach and he even catches that smile that adds a little flip to the uproar his heart is still insisting to make. The kiss is sweet and gentle and Tony lingers before him, Jon now makes a move himself and fully embraces Tony with the one hand that isn't still entwined with Tony's. Burying his face in Tony's shoulder and taking a single, deep breath, Jon gives a short, yet accurate reply. "Everything."

And that's a simple truth: Jon worries. Pretty much the entire time and about everything. Not needing much to any sleep hasn't worked well with that particular habit.
