The Asset (Avengers) Moon/Lady

Steve flinched as well, why he wasn't sure but it seamed reflexive. he couldn't believe how much they had all fucked up in a matter of a few seconds. James seamed to calm a bt when Tony started talking, but he still looked confused and upset. "i don't understand. You tole me you loved me... why can't i say it back?" so James had read into the Violin properly, he just couldn't tell the difference between actions and words yet. "...why won't you let me love you?" James asked, voice plaintive and hurt, wondering if maybe Tony didn't love him back after all. wondering if maybe he just didn't deserve to love. "...okay To... Sir." James muttered, wondering what title to use and using Sir, just to be safe. "call him Tony." Steve ordered gently, James blinking at Steve before glancing up at Tony for affirmation of that order, as he almost always did. "...Can i have some water?" James asked, as if he wasn't sure he wouldn't be punished for asking, but asking anyway because they had taught him it was okay to ask for things and to want things.
 
Tony stared down at the other’s back, fingers anxiously playing with the jeans that covered his knees, keeping his hands to himself as he looked up at steve, utterly lost on how to explain, how do you explain just how damaged howard stark had left his son? “...I’ll let you do whatever you want, you know that Jamie.”Tony said sounding so young, so unsure of how to explain. “you can love me...I just...I’ve never really had anyone to tell me it before and those who did....well. It never went well for me. So...”he shrugged flincing at the use of sir, mentally backpedaling, looking so upset at the reverse to sir, looking up at steve for help. Needing someone who was good at this stuff. and there was no one tony trusted more then steve, except maybe james himself. “Tony.”The man confirmed offering a small, barely there smile before nodding, bounding off the bed with a eagerness that was usually reserved for manic inventing and james when tony asked for something. Returning quickly with a glass of water he smiled slightly. “Okay, sit up a little so you don’t spill it while you drink.”He ordered softly, helping the other sit up to do so, looking at the door, looking relieved when Bruce walked in. And within moments bruce had james bandaged and taken care of, glancing at the three of them, he just knew this was a mess, but there was no real way to help them figure it out etiher. It’d been bound to happen the closer james and tony got, there was bound to be lines crossed. “You did no real damage. It’s skin deep, if Steve’s healing ability is anything to go by, you’ll probably be healed by tomorrow afternoon.”
 
James reached out and gently took Tony's hand, as if afraid the other would pull away fingers tightening when Tony didn't. "...you think you don't deserve to be loved?" James asked looking quite mortified by the idea. "i will tell you everyday that i love you, then you'll get used to it." James decided. "then you'll believe it." he decided with a nod smiling at him. "Tony." he agreed softly, glad that everything was okay. normal people would have been angsting over it still, James just decided that Tony was being silly and that everything was going to be fine and that he just needed to ignore Tony's emotional outbursts regarding expressions of affection. being emotionally repressed was good for one thing at least. he swallowed his water down before he smiled as he was bandaged, looking sheepish. "back with Hydra... if i was bad they would whip me." he explained. "they really liked to watch me punish myself though, so if i got my hands on a tool first, they would watch me. i got very good at drawing blood, without actually hurting myself." so even brainwashed, James' survival instincts where stronger. he had fooled most of Hydra, while really he had been lying to them the whole time. he looked a bit nervous about admitting that, but was glad that Steve was grinning at him, very proud.
 
Tony smiled quietly as the other took his hand, fingers curling around james, avoiding looking at him. Because he understood from everyone else’s reaction to the idea that the self involved billionaire really hated himself, that it wasn’t a generally accepted thing to say yes to questions like that. “Uh, if you want. I mean, I listen to you talk alot.”Tony said clumsily avoiding the topic of what he thought of himself, relaxing at the sound of his name smiling a little before staring at him. “You...you are amazing.”He muttered looking so proud that even brainwashed, james had fought back in the only way allowed him. “....Sadists. But good, at least you didn’t do yourself any real damage.”Bruce said sighing quietly as he got up, looking at them. “You three all need rest.Especially you Tony, lay down before you fall down.”Bruce said trying to eye the other’s wound through the bandage to make sure he didn’t hurt himself before making the other lay down so he could look. “Good. You didn’t do anything. Just rest Tony.”Bruce ordered looking at the billionaire who looked ready to protest the order.
 
James smiled a little. "i'll love you enough for both of us." he promised. "i will talk more then." he paused. "what should i talk about?" he asked, looking a bit floored by the realization that he didn't know what to talk about. "what's Amazing?" "spectacular, wonderful, beyond normalcy." Steve explained with a smile. "he means that you did something very, very impressive." "oh... whats Sadists?" "someone who likes to hurt people simply to hurt them. they like pain, fear and will do whatever they can to get it with or without permission. often, Sadists will harm innocent people because they like to hurt innocents." "oh... what about Johnny? he likes to hurt people." "no. he likes to give people pain they want. he likes to hurt people, only if THEY like to BE hurt." Steve explained. "Johnny will back off if someone says no, or stop. a sadist will not." "...do lots of people like pain?" "oh yes." Steve admitted, smiling at Bruce. "thanks Bruce." he muttered, gently clapping the other on the shoulder. "...sleep with me? i don't like to sleep alone..." James admitted, well aware Tony wouldn't protest if it was to help James. he wasn't aware of it of course, not really. he'd be mortified if he realized he was manipulating Tony.
 
“I dunno. Anything. I talk about everything.”Tony smiled a little looking amused the other looked so shocked at the idea of talking. Relaxing the more steve and james talked, because this was normal, nice, and no one was focusing on just how utterly screwy he was feeling. Relaxing because for the moment, he could go back to forgetting his issues. “Johnny likes pain as much as he likes hurting someone....sometimes during sex your pain pleasure signals get messed up. Pain becomes pleasure if your down far enough.”Tony smiled a little because while he didn’t bottom and didn’t get the same result when he did bottom, pain did something for him, even whe he was in control. “Your welcome.”Bruce smiled as he left the others alone. “of course.”Tony smiled looking relieved that he was being invited back to bed, squirming to get under the bed, snifting to snuggle against the other as carefully as he could, making sure not to hurt either of them, looking up at steve sleepily. “You’ll stay to?Just in case?”He muttered not trusting himself to be alone, not with how emotional he’d responded. It’d take a bit for tony to trust himself alone with james again.
 
James blinked a little. "uh..." he pondered what to talk about but nothing was coming to mind. he wasn't used to talking just to talk. "Really? i never thought Johnny would like receiving pain." Steve admitted. "he doesn't seam the sort." he admitted before his lip twitched. "i bet you he and Loki take turns." he admitted. "i wonder what Magic can do for bedroom activities?" he pondered, looking like he was honestly thinking about it before he flushed a bright red as he realized he was honestly thinking about it. "...i like pain." James admitted softly. "i like it when they pull on my hair." he admitted. "and i like it when i use the flogger, so long as i don't draw blood..." he admitted, blinking at Tony, as if worried Tony would be disgusted with him. "Thank you Tony... i love you." James admitted as he snuggled into the other, Steve smiling. even he couldn't hide how much it hurt to see them together, without him. "i'll stay." he promised. "i won't let anything happen. just sleep."
 
“Hm, Johnny’s odd. He prefers being in charge, but he’ll switch sometimes....and hmmm I’m definitely asking them that next time I see them.”Tony said utterly curious and not in the least bit shy about it, quite content to ask loki before flushing as he looked down at James, groaning softly as he squirmed a little. “I like your hair. And I’ll remember that.”He muttered swallowing hard as he looked down at the other, his eyes blown wide, responding to the idea. Tensing as the other said I love you he swallowed thickly before turning to look at steve, frowning at the look on his face. Steve was probably lucky that it was tony and not james trying to read that look on his face, because he’d get away with lying since tony totny totally sucked so badly at emotions. “...you okay?what’s wrong?”He muttered blinking hard, trying to stay awake to help his best friend, but he was exhausted and was already starting to drop off to sleep.
 
Steve chuckled. "a lot of people would think you weird for taking in James." he pointed out. "a lot of people think I'm weird imply because I'm me." he admitted as he stretched. "Make sure i'm there when you ask, i'm curious." he admitted before chuckling as James piped up. "..okay." James was quite happy with the promise Tony might yank on his hair or strap him in the near future. he didn't like biting pain, like a whip or a knife. such pain was usually punishment. but he did like a thudding pain, like a flogger, a belt or a crop. he liked Physically created pain too, like teeth in his flesh, pinch or nails down his skin though he didn't like to be slapped or punched. he would have to tell Tony all of that at some point he was sure, but he was too tired to right now. "i'm fine. just a bit of self loathing." Steve admitted softly. "still feel a bit bad i let that happen." he admitted. "go to sleep. i'm going to talk to Nat later. she's the best at knocking sense into my thick skull. i won't leave until your both awake." he promised.

and he was right. in fact Tony was the first one up and got to see Steve laying, dead asleep on Tony's couch in nothing but his Boxer Briefs.
 
Tony frowned at his friend looking worried and sleepy as he considered steve before nodding."kay.talk to nat."he muttered disliking that his friend wasn't talking to him but at least he'd talk to someone."night."he muttered falling asleep.


When he woke tony frowned worried before realizing that steve was indeed still there, smiling before be groaned at the sight of the half naked man in front of him.that was a amazing sight. Gently preswing a kiss to james hair he si the ed wondering how to wake either without getting hit. A warm feeling tightening his chest knowing james had stayed in bed even when he didn't like it.
 
Steve tended to sleep like a log. stretched out as long as he could get and completely immovable until he decided he wanted to move. he was a devil to wake up too but rarely struck out at the person trying to wake him. unless he was having a nightmare, you always knew when he was having a nightmare. James on the other hand was almost aloof as he slept. curled up into a semi ball his knees pressed up against Tony's legs, knees just brushing Tony's ass while his arm draped over Tony, like he was just being sure the other was still there. he tended to wake at the first sign of movement from anyone unless he was feeling bad or was too tired to wake up. he always struck out when someone tried to wake him and you could never tell if he was having a nightmare until he was trying to kill you. it was amusing that two such polar opposites had once been completely inseparable.

James stirred as Tony shifted and moved, his eyes fluttering open as he blinked at Tony. "morning." he mumbled as he snuggled a little deeper into Tony, uncurling his legs for more Tony contact. "i love you." James stated, remembering his promise from the night before. he knew Tony would stiffen and try to change the subject but that was okay because James understood why now. "...Boss sleeps funny." in the mornings, before he fully woke up, he still tended to call Tony Sir and Steve Boss, simply because it was such an ingrained habit.
 
Tony smiled gently at the sleepy look he was getting, a soft gentle 'I'm happy and in love and in bed with that person' smile, the one that pepper had so rarely gotten in the last stages of the relationship. Really, they'd rarely smiled together those last few months . Smiling as James shifted to snuggle him more he laughed quietly, thinking about the two friends who been polar opposite even when they were younger, but even more so now. And yet, they were still in the same place and time,drawn together as if a invisible force pulled them together....yeah tony got wordy in his head first thing in the morning. And as he thought that he wondered if he was missing something, almost knowing what it was but he didn't know what.


Tense at the words I love you he swallowed hard before shifting into the second half of that statement even if he knew the other promised to say it, he still wasn't comfortable hearing it."he does. It's quite amusing."Tony smiled before picking up a spare pillow and whipping it towards his best friend, having every intention of getting him to go make breakfast so they could all eat in bed...or maybe get TJ to cook so they could just visit, knowing steve enjoyed james' company even if he was different then who he'd once been. "Hey.wake up Cap."Tony whined a little not really caring if he got up or not, simply finding the other adorable when he was asleep and usually agitated him cause he got so cute and amusing. Looking down at James he smiled kissing him slowly."good morning."
 
James blinked at the smile, looking rather surprised, his head cocked to the side. Tony was saying 'i Love You' again. it made Jame's chest feel all warm and fluttery. he gently pressed a kiss to Tony's stomach, as he did every morning that they woke together in the same bed. he smiled when Tony didn't panic at the words, he was getting better already! Steve groaned as the pillow hit him, but instead of getting up he huffed, wriggled, and then turned around and went back to sleep and James started to giggle. Steve had promised to make TJ pay for teaching James how to giggle. "my stomach is making noises." James stated as his stomach let off a loud gurgle. "Can i have strawberries?" he asked hopefully. "and my bandages itch." that was one sensation they hadn't bothered to train out of him. being tickled, being itchy, those where things James rarely had to deal with, so he still responded to them. he could ignore them if he had to, like if there was a leaf tickling him when he was setting up for a shot, but typically he voiced complaint for those.
 
Tony smiled a little as the other kissed his stomach, as steve went back to sleep. The man really was amusing when he was asleep...of course he'd probably get yelled at for screwing with when the man was asleep but he really was adorable. Grinning happily at the giggle, because it was such a innocent sound that he suspected even bucky barnes had be to world weary for the sound, much less the winter soldier. " So I hear.and you can if threshold any left.they're tj's favorite to he might have eaten them all."Tony smiled a little before nudging the other."sit up I'll take the bandages and see if it's safe to just leave the bandages off."Tony smiled a little and gently peeled the bandages off when he sat up
 
James smiled a little as he looked up at Tony, content with life. "TJ won't eat them all." James protested. "he's nice like that." he shrugged his shoulder as if TJ being nice was the answer to all of life's problems. he sat up obediently and let Tony examine his back. not even a scratch, no mark, no bruises. just perfect skin that was only a little scarred in some places. once James had the okay, he was up and getting dressed and practically skipped the entire way to the kitchen, where he was delighted t find there where still strawberries, a full bowl just for him... and some... sort of... thing on a plate. "it's a muffin. a strawberry muffin." Johnny explained with a grin as he watched James poke at it. so, the godling and the fire maker had finally come up for air, and Loki was even paying attention and not hiding inside his own head.
 
:You seem so sure he’s a nice guy.”Tony snickered a little as he looked over the skin, fingers ghosting over the newly healed skin,”Wish I healed that fast.”He muttered even if he was so glad he had extermis, looking at the two super soldiers heal sometimes was a litle much. “All good.”he smiled pressing a kiss to his shoulder as he told him to go ahead and get dressed. Looking amused at his delight at the treat, studying the godling and firestarter. “So I see you two came up for air. Feeling well, no third degree burns or frostbite?"
 
James smiled. "he IS a good guy." he admitted with a nod. "much nicer than Clint." he studied Tony. "you probably will someday." he admitted. "good." James agreed with a smile as he pulled on a shirt. Clint had been his favorite for DAYS after the man brought in an entire wardrobe made of leather, silk and some sort of clingy material that was like spandex but wasn't. then Clint teased Tony and was back on the bottom again. "..." Loki stared at Tony for a long moment before realizing the man was joking and a sly smirk curled his lips. "worry not, Man of Rust. i have healed us properly after the first accident. i had not realized he would burst into flames as he came. i took steps to protect the furniture after that."
 
“You only like TJ better because he doesn’t laugh at me when I stare at your leather clad ass.”Tony whined a little because really, it had been amazing he’d resisted as long as he did when clint came back with all those clothes. He’d just stared and imagined groping that amazing ass and well, now he got to. It still took him a few minutes to get walking though as he stared at James’ ass, for a moment not responding to Loki as he stared at his boyfriend. “Hey!I’m not rust, Reindeer....”He raised his eyebrows looking at johnny, snickering. “Inelegant oaf. You’re not supposed to catch your partner on fire.”He teased not about to admit that he’d nearly caught pepper and him on fire a few times, and not just after extermis. He had always been a little fire prone, and she always interrupted important things.
 
James shrugged. "i like TJ because he's nice to me and plays music with me." he admitted as he gave his hips a wiggle so that far too tight pants would slip on that last half an inch. it was like he knew he was tormenting Tony, even though he didn't. "are you not? so that hideous red color of yours is on purpose?" Johnny started to laugh, how could he not? "he's lying Tony! i didn't set anything on fire!" Johnny promised still snickering as James blinked. "...i could beat him up if you wanted me to." he offered Tony as he took a nibble of his muffin... it wasn't gross. he'd eat it at least. "i think Teej is making a strawberry pie too." Clint admitted as he walked in, slightly damp from his shower as he nabbed a strawberry muffin off the plate.
 
“”So he is.”Tony snickered a little swallowing hard as he watched James wiggle, this was torture, truly. “It’s not hideous!And yes, it’s on purpose. Better then your green and gold, you christmas tree.”Tony snickered before raising his eyebrows. “Uh-huh. I’ll be telling that to sue, you know, cause she totally took pictures of the first time you had sex after this accident. To nearly burned down your place.”he teased before shaking his head.”No, don’t beat him up. He’s fairly amusing sometimes.”Tony snickered. “I am. And don’t eat those, they’re not yours.”TJ ordered poking Clint in the side as he got a glass of orange juice even as he started to gather things he’d need to make a pie.
 
Loki blinked. "what is a Christmas and why does it have a tree?" he asked James nodding. "yes, me too i wish to know." now that was just sad. James could be forgiven, brainwashed and all. Loki really should have known better, then again he'd been brainwashed too so maybe it was okay. "don't you Dare! she'll yell at me for taking advantage of a man 'clearly unable to tell me no'! i'll never hear the end of it!" "i seduced you as i recall." Loki admitted, Johnny shrugging. "that won't matter. your clearly insane." he pointed out with a grin as Loki just nodded. he WAS insane after all. "...is he?" James asked, examining Loki and Johnny who where clearly mocking Tony somehow, even if he wasn't sure how. "but i'm hungry Teej!" Clint protested as he polished off the last of his muffin. "you can't make food for James and not for me!" he whined. "that's just not good boyfriend behavior!" "what's a boyfriend!?" both Loki and James chorused.
 
“It’s a earth holiday. You give presents and everything to people. And it just has a tree, that’s why. That’s green and gold, and uses reindeer as a decoration. Which you are, since you know, you’re helmet had horns.”Tony snickered a little before staring at James, “we’ll celebrate christmas. I’ll teach you two.”Tony said pleased with the idea of buying them things. “And she totally would. Even if you’re the one who can never say no.” “Yes I can. And I give you sex, that’s good boyfriend behavior. Never said I had to cook, that’s why Jamie and Steve live here. Ask them for food.”TJ snickered before staring at the two, before nodding towards tony. “he’s your boyfriend, James.It’s...your significant other, the person you’re involved with, there’s alot of words for it.”
 
they both blinked at him. "...uh..." James just looked confused and Loki looked suspicious until Johnny handed him a tablet and Loki started googling Christmas. "can we celebrate it tomorrow?" James asked. "whats a present?" he asked before smiling as Johnny groaned and shook his head. "i know right? and i'm the one who always gets in trouble because of it." he whined. "i can't help it that cute boys think i'm sexy and i can't deny an order." he groaned as Clint sulked at TJ. "your a mean person." he complained with a grin. "a meany mean head." mostly because he knew it would annoy James, who was indeed glaring at him. "well i can't cook!" he protested. "are we going to starve TJ?" he asked with an impish grin. "or are we just going to live off of each others cum?" "gross Clint!" "...Tony is my Boyfriend?" James asked, turning to look at Tony before beaming happily. "yes. Tony is my Boyfriend."
 
“If you want. It’s a little early, but yea I guess. We can do shopping today.”Tony shrugged smiling quietly, before his mouth fell open. “Presents. Gifts. You know, like the violin. Things people give people.”Tony grinned,”You’re just a man-whore, that’s what you can’t help.”He teased. “I am not. You’re just unhappy you’re up this early. And no, you aren’t going to starve, you just don’t get a share of the strawberry things. Those are mine and James’.”Tony smirked before looking at tony and james, biting his lip to keep from laughing, even if he knew this was upsetting to Steve, that James was dating tony, this was good to see. Tony this happy. “I guess I am.”Tony smiled a little.
 
Clint chuckled a little. "Christmas is a holiday James, that means it's celebrated once a year on a specific day." "oh... when?" "December." "....that's not so far away." James admitted. "oh... it's giving people things? i like to give people things... is Blowjobs a present?" "NO!" "...oh. what should a present then?" "something that's personal. something someone will appreciate. like giving Nat a special kind of Gun, or giving Loki some earth sweets. Tony likes mechanical things and expensive kinds of alcohol. it should come from how you want that person to feel." James contemplated that and then nodded. "i am unhappy that i'm up before noon. yes." Clint agreed with a chuckle as Loki shook his head, amused with the people he had found himself surrounded by. "i like strawberries too you know!" Clint complained, sulking as he beamed at James when James offered him a second Muffin. "see? James likes me!" "i just want you to stop talking." Loki and Johnny both started to laugh as Clint sulked.
