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.

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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He's not completely convinced that Reeve understands, making him cautiously watchful through the kiss, but it's gentle enough to be reassuring, and he tips his head back against the door with a sigh then a chuckle at Reeve's offer.]

What part of this got you all bothered? I swear, last time was like a test, was it the multiverse stuff? That does it for you? I'll bring diagrams next time I'm over.

[He's not sure how comfortable he is with just standing there, he's trying to tell Reeve he's not ignoring him when Reeve is being nice to him, after all, but isn't exactly going to turn him down, either; he's tense and restless, one hand gathering and smoothing the fabric of Reeve's shirt on his shoulder.]

[No, he doesn't. But neither of them are the best at communication related to this.]

Got me all bothered? I seem to remember you being the one to start this. But I suppose certain types of diagrams are attractive.

[His hands move upward, smoothing over Tony's stomach.]

We can just have coffee, if you want. Just say the word.

[Good, he made it weird, great. Is touching Tony's stomach like that supposed to be deescalating? Because Tony's muscles are twitching and he raises a hand to his lips to zip them closed, sealed, not a single word here, except of course he's immediately talking already.]

Keep it on the table, though, we'll cycle back around to it.

[Both of Tony's hands to Reeve's hair to coax him back into a kiss, more insistent than the hurried press of his lips that Tony had apparently started this with, so, okay, Reeve wasn't getting it, but Tony can keep trying, all over him, ideally.]

[Today, apparently, was Reeve's turn to be confused. But it's a concern he lets melt away at the insistence of that kiss. He meets it with his own need, parting his lips for Tony as his hands curled around the dirty shirt the other wore and started to pull him backwards. Keep it on the table, was it? Reeve would be happy to show him a table then.]

Tables are good. Very good.

[Tony is eagerly following again, one hand staying in Reeve's hair to try to keep him steady and the other dropping to his hip to better measure his step so Tony can stay close and not let Reeve break the kiss, but this isn't nearly as easy as he would like it to be and pretty quickly he's laughing at Reeve's progressively well documented fantasy.]

I feel like you've been wanting something from me, I'm having trouble pinning it down...

[Lifting him up off of his feet with an arm around his waist will solve the problem, but before Tony captures his lips again he has a strained question.]

Quick, where're we going, this will get embarrassing fast.

[Really? Had the wanting something from Tony not been apparent? Well, then he should spell it out, he supposes. In the distraction to Tony's words, Reeve finds himself bumping back against the table in the room. Just the corner of it, which makes him curse. He'd been aiming to get them around it to find the low mattress just inside the door beside the table. But he supposes he has to answer, right?]

I've been wanting you Tony, since the hot spring. This is me asking, and pointing out there's a bed not two feet away from us.

[Had he hauled a mattress from a ship to make his space here more comfortable? Absolutely. He'll take it back when the ships are needed.]

From there I had intentions on my mouth finding its way about you. I'd leave whether it would be slow and thorough or quick and desperate up to you. Beyond there my brain hasn't managed to process yet.

[Tony laughs an apology for the table corner, then keeps giggling as Reeve seems to miss the joke, that's okay, Tony could have been more explicit, as he catches Reeve behind the thigh to lift him up onto the edge of the table instead with Tony fit between his legs and his hold still under his knee, lifting it against Tony's waist.]

Should I have said, having trouble pinning you down? Or is that not going to work for you right now?

[With a far more careless kiss, letting his teeth graze Reeve's lip as he moves his attention across his jaw, Tony is nudging him back slightly to get him off balance.]

I think I've got the image, I should come in here in my suit, cold as ice--tell me more about your mouth, though, right now I'm thinking of splitting my investment.

[That's a lie, Tony's already rocking against him, he doesn't know how to be anything but quick and desperate. He doesn't even have the patience to open Reeve up in a fantasy.]

[Oh. Reeve's skin goes a bit red over Tony lifting him up. Damn, that is NEVER not going to be hot. He lets himself settle on the table and spreads his legs just a bit further apart, happy to make space for Tony.]

I think... I think I'd be quite easy to pin down when it's your strength behind it. Quite easy indeed.

[Reeve shudders at the image Tony is painting, leaning his head back and to the side to make his neck more accessible to the other. Which of course makes it that much easier for Tony to put him off balance, leaving Reeve to lean back, his hands snapping back to brace against the table. And he licks his lips as he looks at Tony.]

Diversifying investments is typically seen as positive. Mostly, though, I'd want my mouth following the lines of those muscles of yours. Every time you leave me shocked with your strength. It gets my heart racing.

[With that he lets himself lay back against the table, smiling at Tony as he does so, his own hands coming up to start unbuttoning his own shirt. Once he has some skin bared he lets his fingers run over it, slow and deliberate, trying to catch Tony's attention.]

I'd start here. Quick little things, with small bites after. The whole time wanting to do more, leave little marks like a chain of beads, trailing down your body.

[This time, Tony doesn't follow but he does pout then bite his lip for the loss of kissing his appreciation along Reeve's neck for the praise. He doesn't have to work for Tony's attention because he's already leaning over him on one hand and watching every move intently. This is an incredibly compelling case for slow and thorough, making Tony's breath hitch as though he could feel the tickle of Reeve's fingertips, tracking them hungrily along the exposed line of his collar and the centre of his chest.

He's slow to produce a counterpoint. And he has to soon, because he is itchingly aware that he's not letting Reeve get the shirt off of him.

His attention slides away to watch his own hand stroke up Reeve's thigh from his knee to tuck under the hem of his shirt and finally touch that skin Reeve is teasing him with, pushing the fabric up out of his way so it's easy to tug his pants open and drag them down.]

Keep going, I'm listening.

[He is not.]

[That little hitching of Tony's breath is amazing. Reeve wants to hear more of it, especially given the way the man watches him. It's beautiful. He chuckles when Tony seeks his own distractions, though, and takes the chance to start popping more of his own buttons. These went from one down to halfway off in a matter of moments, before Reeve's hands are going again, brushing over his ribs.]

Here. I'd let my tongue follow the shape of each rib, seeking them out under the muscle.

[Reeve is touching more of himself than Tony is, and it has to be abnormal to feel a little jealous about that. He has to follow this time, lips grazing over the path of one of Reeve's hands that he catches by the wrist to tun his palm into Tony's kiss, leaving his mark for Reeve to continue now.]

I feel like I'm watching you get yourself off. Do you take your time like this when I'm not here? Don't answer that.

[He has to step back as he drags Reeve's pants down his hips, working them off of one foot before he tires entirely of this activity and is back with both hands tucking under Reeve's hips to arch him off of the table and meet the press of Tony's lips to his stomach.]

[Jealous? Oh how cute. Reeve lets his hand reach after Tony, stroking his cheek.]

Since you asked, I won't answer. But you are the one that said I should keep talking.

[His eyes follow tony and thus his own pants being pulled off. He does nothing to make that easier or harder, just lets Tony manipulate him and grins when Tony gets bored.]

See, that's an example of what I'd do too.

[He has to stop his tickling affection to snort a laugh, sharp grin pressed to Reeve's skin instead. The giggle does remind him that bowing over the desk like he is is not nearly sustainable, so he pushes himself up on one hand again to take in the exquisite image of Reeve looking thoroughly undignified, spread out like a meal on the table that makes Tony touch his tongue to his teeth, before reaching for Reeve's hand to help pull him up to his feet. The second he figured out what anyone else around here was using for lube, he would be back to properly take care of Reeve in that position.]

C'mon, my turn.

[Not bothering with the rest of the buttons, Tony lifts Reeve's shirt off over his head, then combs his hair back for him to pull him into another carelessly wet kiss, distracted as he stumbles them over to the mattress like Reeve had intended, trying not to trip over his own shoes as he sheds them.]

Who knew, maybe Tony's shaving goop would find another use. In the mean time Reeve lets himself be pulled back up to his feet. It takes some careful coordination to make sure that he's not tripping over the pants Tony had left around one leg thanks to attention spans. He does work with Tony the best he can in the process of getting Reeve's shirt off, and he offers the other a soft smile before he's claimed by a kiss and motion. The motion is actually the bigger problem.

Because, you know, pants around one leg and not the other. With Tony stumbling and dealing with his own shoes, well, there's nothing he can do in the face of stumbling enough to actually fall from Tony's grip and onto the mattress. Which wasn't a problem for him. Instead it drew forth an amused chuckle.

Reeve abruptly falling out of his kiss just about made Tony bite his tongue, and briefly he panicked until reassured enough by Reeve's laugh to properly appreciate the rare graceless flail as he dropped with another giggle of his own. The expression had almost been as good as getting thrown into the pool. "You good?" Tony grinned, not really needing an answer as he spun to flop onto his back on the bed next to Reeve hard enough to make them both bounce, reaching to tug at Reeve's hand before the motion had stopped. While he was sprawled there, he offered with the laugh still in his voice, "Want to sit on my face?" with his tongue touched to his lip again, his free hand working his waistband down enough to palm himself in inviting suggestion for Reeve to keep himself occupied, his knee bent and back arched just enough to suggest he knew where his light was and was definitely milking it. Reeve had been stealing his tricks far too effectively, he had to make sure Reeve knew he was in the presence of the master. "If that's not your thing, we can explore our options. The product range is limited, but very customizable."

"Very good," Reeve agreed through the lightness of his laughter. What a showman the other was, that little jump and resulting bounce was just silly enough to make Reeve not feel so bad about his clumsiness. Once they were settled he reached out to haul his pants the rest of the way off and toss them aside.

Only then did he consider the other man's question. It was an invitation any sane man should embrace, but his eyes were also on Tony's hand, where it was going, what it was doing. If Tony was a master of anything, it was of putting on a show.

"The product range is only as limited as our creativity, Tony. And right now my creativity is pointing out there is more than one mouth that could be occupied in delightful pursuits."

As if to underline what he meant, his own hand moved over Tony's stomach, and then slid right on down to push Tony's hand aside and replace it. It had been so long since he'd had his hand on Tony like this, and he wanted to feel the other man, to be certain that this was all as much of a rush for Tony as it was for him.

"Would that be... agreeable?"

Tony was about to argue that he was it, he was the product that Reeve was supposed to be paying attention to and not getting creative about anything else he could be using right now to come all over, but, as ever, he phrased Tony's offer better than Tony could hope to manage. He got the spirit, 'delightful pursuits', how reliably poetic. "Delightfully pursue your ass over here, you fucking nerd," was how Tony said that out loud, the bite of it undercut by the dip of his voice into a purr as he gladly let Reeve take him in hand. With his freed, he twisted to reach both arms around Reeve's hips and drag him to meet Tony where he could playfully chew at the flesh on Reeve's thigh and hip that he could reach, sealing the drag of his teeth over Reeve's skin with a sucking kiss.

Come now, Tony, each man has their own way of captivating. But Reeve definitely didn't mind the snark it earned him. He would have said something in response were his mouth not occupied by his moaning as Tony's teeth came into play. Clearly Tony remembered what had set Reeve off before.

Which meant that Reeve had to get more active in the game as well. Which in this case meant wrapping his hand around Tony and starting a light, teasing stroke.

"You don't waste time, do you?"

"You do, you bastard," Tony complained with a laugh, squirming and bracing a heel on the mattress as though that would gain him more purchase in Reeve's fist. The hand around Reeve's back dug into his side, the other fitting between his thighs to spread them enough for Tony to press his fingers into the sensitive joint of his hip along his groin, trying to bring him closer yet instead of relegating Tony to biting his way up his flank in this position. This was definitely a waste of time, and not his style, as Reeve noted, so Tony asked, "Are you trying to get me to manhandle you?" as though he didn't already know that answer. He sat up before Reeve tried to, pushing his hand away to shove him flat on his back on the bed and swing his own leg over his chest to pin him down with his knees over Reeve's shoulders, regretting once he got there that he didn't give Reeve the chance to share with Tony how he would have phrased in his lyrical way, 'fuck me up'. So he paused there, one hand combing carefully through Reeve's hair before curling close to his scalp to hold his head back against the bed, and raised his eyebrows expectantly for an answer.

"Perhaps," Reeve agreed. "But I like the build up. The power play."

There's a lot to be said about power in bed. The act of taking it, or giving it away, could be truly intoxicating. And soon they were in a whole new position, with Reeve looking up at Tony with wide eyes. This wasn't what he was expecting. And he definitely didn't have leverage, in this position to do anything about it.

"As much as I love your strength, I was taking a moment to admire your body. I barely had a chance last time," he admits, thought the brightness of his eyes may have said how much he liked the position. His hands even came up onto Tony's hips, gripping them firmly as if to hold him still.

"I had hoped for us both to have full mouths, but this could work well. Would you like this, Tony? Me just here for your use?"

Reeve had much more patience for that power play than Tony did, clearly, because Tony felt like Reeve pulling him through that door had happened approximately a decade ago already and Reeve was taking his sweet fucking time fighting back now, letting all of that power coil anxiously up Tony's spine in anticipation for the riposte. He wasn't sure how much he loved 'use', making him hesitate, but the thrill he could read in Reeve's face made him lean forward to brace the other hand over his head, rocking his hips forward to test the resolve of Reeve's hold on him or if he would let Tony slide into his mouth. "I'm not stopping you, sweetheart," he insisted in a challenging growl.

Sweetheart? The term earns just the briefest flash of displeasure form Reeve. But he wasn't going to leave something like that to ruin the encounter. So instead he let up on his grip on Tony's hips, licking his lips briefly and thus letting his tongue flick over Tony's length before he let his lips part fully. And yes, he absolutely lets the other man press into his mouth. closing his eyes as he lets his tongue stroke over the head of the cock in his mouth.

It's been a while since he's done this, but it's quite clear from the pleased him he gives, it's not something unfamiliar.

Was Tony still not supposed to be doing nicknames? He really didn't have confidence in where this relationship stood, but he was ready right now to use that irritation from Reeve to provoke him into snarling and maybe snapping like he had done at Cloud--in a second, maybe a minute, the impulse melted entirely in the welcome heat of Reeve's mouth, leaving Tony watching Reeve between his thighs with half-lidded wonder as he nudged experimentally forward and pressed his knuckles into the mattress to tug Reeve's hair and hip his head further back to open him more for Tony. "That's beautiful. What were you waiting for? Trying to drive me crazy?," he was muttering, then, quieter, "Let me know you're liking it, let me hear you. Tell me when you want me to stop."

Other nicknames, perhaps. That one was a specific no, and not even Tony's fault. But explaining at this moment would ruin the mood, and Reeve wouldn't do that. Later he could tell Tony that if he wanted to call Reeve something, it needed to not be that one word. Too much baggage. For not, he hums happily when Tony asks, as if to confirm that yes, he had been trying to drive him crazy. Which wasn't entirely true, but it was true enough.

He lets Tony guide his head, and when he takes more of Tony into his mouth he starts to suck. Meanwhile his hands slid up from Tony's hips to instead caress over the man's stomach, his fingers feather light. Even now, even like this, he can tease and madden a man if he really wanted to. Practice always made perfect in some areas, and this was one of them.

Tony's other hand tightened in the blankets over Reeve's head as the tension thrummed through his whole body, the muscles of his stomach, jumping under Reeve's touch with the tickle of his fingertips, already tight and twitching from holding himself up and restrained to a carefully shallow rock of his hips. His head dropped, hanging down with eyes barely open to black slits, still watchful like Reeve's mathematically angular face was his meditative study. He wanted Reeve to touch more of him, and to sink deeper into him, and mostly to be able to curl around him and kiss his gratitude into the slop of his brow and notch of his jaw, but was restricted to absently muttering his affection in a breathless stream that he barely heard himself.
