WHO: Tony and open!
WHERE: Around Temba (hangar, fountain, ???)
WHAT: Doing some personal cleanup since the storm, and running into a floral distraction
WHEN: End of November/beginning of December
WARNINGS: It's a Tony post, we all should have expected it would get horny. It did.
a.The city had felt imposingly massive since the storm. Then, it was because of its depths and shadows, harbouring fears that only gave way to complex secrets as the clouds cleared, but today it was purely a problem of traversal. The hangar, looking slightly battered from the weather itself but not nearly as poorly treated as the ships finally returned inside, most of them still caked with mud and brought limping to roost, was approximately eight lightyears from the forge.
At least it was a fairly straight shot, but Tony felt half crazy by the time he came shuffling into the echoing space, the wheels of his cart dragged through the cracked roads rattling with a cohort of pebbles caught in their works, and abandoned the thing which felt like it had grown steadily heavier on this trek with a drop of his good arm and heave of a sigh. Gathering his energy again, he straightened to hug is arm cradled under the other, still wrapped and immobile against his chest, leaving his sleeve hanging empty, and headed for the Bloodsport to collect what remained of his onboard from their journey. There were tools there that had been sorely missed at the forge, and a variety of acquisitions from the Agrii cargo bay under Sundance's guidance, and a silky quilt that had Tony sitting in the doorway of the ship with it pulled up over his head, eyes closed and legs kicking idly, looking bruised and exhausted and trying not to look at the cart for just a minute while he meditated on his next move and definitely wasn't just stalling.
b. Most of the D.A.T.A. points had gone dark some time during their venture out to space, or, more likely, the storm that had seeped into all of their works. With the forge back to working order, it was time for Tony to address this problem, which it turned out he had made a rather large one for himself. The closest camera was installed near the fountain, though, and might have been the most important, to alert Tony to any new arrivals, so that would have to be his first stop to see what damage was done. They were all going to have to be upgraded; Tony wasn't going to be able to spread himself across the city to repair every one of them every time one of those storms hit. With his cartload of tools from the hangar, he would have to investigate the generator, surely flooded from the rain, and likely dismantle the watchful orb to find out what exactly had been burnt out in the overload from the storm's energy.
c. It definitely wasn't only the storm that had changed the charge of the city, though. As the skies cleared, it became obvious that the air had grown colder and crisper, and in the days that followed, the chill seemed to settle and harden the ground. Tony would have said it felt like autumn, but the alien plants didn't quite change the way they would have on Earth, growing brittle in the cold but without the warm oranges and yellows of a fall in New York. Instead, new plantlife seemed to have sprung up for him to notice on his long haul with his cart, giving him the good excuse to abandon it occasionally to crouch carefully at the side of the road, stiff in his bandages, and pluck up the young, frosty cyan buds that had started growing there. A few had flowered already, their petals petite but vibrantly blue, and smelling sharply spicy like cloves. He kept stopping to collect another, telling himself to deliver them to someone like Tommy to confirm that the smell didn't mean they were poisonous, maybe they were edible, and maybe this new growth meant that feeling that creep of ice on the air wasn't as much to worry about as Tony was starting to think. A winter couldn't be too harsh if these flowers were flourishing here.

The hand that has paused between them returns to life and had Tony shared his frustrations about hindering pieces of fabric, Jon would have agreed with that notion. Touching the man through his pants is not the same. And he knows he prefers to experience Tony's hands on his skin himself. And yet it's not without a little clumsy fiddling that Jon manages to open up Tony's pants and blindly free the heated flesh kept captive behind those fabrics before greeting it with a testing, gentle caress of his fingers.

Tony couldn't have thrown him off too much, though, as he found his focus again and Tony sighed his own relief at being freed from the vice of his pants into Jon's delicate touch. "That's it, that's good," he encouraged as he tipped his head back to nuzzle at Jon's jaw and coax him into another kiss, slower and more careful to try to find Jon's pace.

While Jon enjoys his current lack of rational thought, his hand has made its first two testing strokes along Tony's length before settling at the tip, with his thumb running slow, pensive circles over it.

Those word said, Jon lets his own head drop forward and onto Tony's shoulder in return, humming along with the pressure applied by Tony's thumb and lets his hand slide downward again at last before settling to an actual rhythm.

Sliding his hand down Jon's hip again, Tony grabbed him around the thigh this time to hitch him up as Tony dropped his other foot to the ground to push up out of his seat. Instantly, he regretted it, feeling the strain on his chest and biting his tongue, not about to try to spread Jon out on his back now and reevaluating how he could just take what he wanted. It left him braced restlessly, squeezing around Jon's leg, and finally had to admit, "Careful," which wasn't exactly what he wanted at all, but certainly broke the seal, making Tony snort a laugh. "Faster, please," he amended quickly, breathless smile in his voice, "tighter, it's okay, you can't hurt me, sweetheart, please." Mostly, he didn't want to draw this out; it was excruciating just trying to hold onto Jon, his worshipful kisses limited and gathering against Jon's collar like they met a dam as Tony murmured, "please," into each of them.

Not after that initial jolt of alarm when Tony appears to make a move to get up only to quickly realize himself that doing so wouldn't be a great idea at all. Jon doesn't even have to remind him and merely sighs out an exhale while relaxing against Tony's shoulder once more, head tilted in a way that lets him at least glance at Tony's face.
Any remnants of that moment of alarm fade away when Tony speaks to him at last and Jon can merely smile back in response, humming an affirmative half a moment before tightening his hold and increasing the pace of his hand. He closes his eyes again and lets his voice drop again. "I like it when you talk to me, Tony. I like your voice. And I like to know what I can do to make you feel good."

It's still rather distracting. As is being told he is doing well, apparently. Somehow that verbal praise heats up Jon's face all over again and he quickened his pace one final time to pull Tony through to the end, observing the result as best as possible.

This place really needs some adjustments in a more comfortable direction.

He gets a brief break when Tony directs his gaze and makes Jon look at him when he asks his question and gradually adds the remaining pieces, leaving Jon with a pleasant shiver running up his back and a positive blush over his ears. Less about the question itself, however, but rather due to the way it has been delivered.
Before answering, Jon takes a moment to settle his thoughts and take a deep breath, then leans his head forward with a wide smile, eyes locked on Tony's and brows raised. His voice is kept a whisper that matches Tony's. "First? I pinch the bridge of my nose. Because the moment I start thinking of you, I won't be getting any further work done at all. Sometimes," He goes on and reaches one hand over to lightly brush the tips of his fingers against Tony's chest. "I reach for my heart. Because it aches in your absence. Then I try to recall where I have last felt your hands touch me."

"Christ, Tony!" Jon laughs and presses a quick kiss to the top of the man's head and letting his head linger there while the surprise ebbs away, then adds more quietly. "I sure love you, you know that...?" It's not really a question. But somehow he feels like putting it to words once again.

Jon gives a quick, little gasp at Tony teasing him ever so slightly with his hips, then adds that sweet brief kiss to underline the fresh blush on Jon's features and earns himself an adoring grin from the Archivist, who gladly repeats his words while his fingers play along Tony's neck and he closes his eyes to do so against Tony's lips. "I love you." And Tony better never doubt that.

The kisses that follow are of more distracting nature and Jon tries to follow their path by keeping an eye on Tony, his curiosity perking at the man's words, leaving him anticipating the next piece of the information just as much as where Tony will place his affection next. Towards the end, Jon opens his mouth as if to say something himself, but ends up biting his lower lip instead as he watches Tony's tongue move up his thumb in what at least feels like an excruciatingly slow pace, sending the faintly prickly feeling of goosebumps seemingly everywhere.
"... Tony..." Is the one thing Jon hears himself utter eventually, at least making a faint attempt to ignore the coiling tension building somewhere in the depths of his stomach that makes him squirm ever so slightly. Why does this comparably simple action affect him so notably? Is it the touch? The kiss? The visual display or simply because this is Tony and this man could be doing anything and it would stir up Jon's feelings with ease? Jon couldn't tell. But he can tell one thing for sure, "I want you to touch me more."

Somewhere during it all, Jon's own hand has found its way to the back of Tony's head, his fingers quickly getting lost in his dark hair.
Then Tony shifts and leaves Jon with a lack of a direct visual line of what is happening and more bound to rely on the information the rest of his body is providing him with. Which is when he feels his pants being pushed out of the way, earning Tony a soft, half-sputtered gasp in response to the sudden change in temperature.

"...shit, Tony." Jon breathes, sounding all but taken, then lets his expression shift into a little smirk. "How can you think there will ever be enough."
