Audio - Several Hours After Tony's Hospital Room

I would very much appreciate a meeting with you, to clear up some things. Please.

There is an abundance that must be rendered clear regarding Tony Stark.

[He sounds vaguely tired and annoyed at the evasion. At least he's used to it.]

And this is my polite request for it. I believe there is a good chance were I to take the Communication Datapoint, I would be able to use it's knowledge to find where you are located, and therefore trace back to you. Which would be awkward for us both.

Please. I've left you with a very inaccurate impression of things.

[Well, he isn't going to respond. This was something that needed said in person. Which is why he was there in the library, not twenty minutes later, bag still over his shoulder and the stuffed cat doll riding along in it so that it didn't have to keep up with Reeve's stride.]

Jon?

[Hello, he is here, wrecker of homes.]

[personal profile] plate_builder 2020-06-04 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, now he not only wishes for materia, but that he had grabbed the medical data point before leaving the hospital. There is, undoubtedly, regret and concern on his face as he sees the bandaged hand.]

I’m very sorry about your hand. That was my fault, wasn’t it? Because I was affectionate toward Stark.

[And there’s the issue.]

Success? There is no success, Jon. I have been his company in the night before, but I mean nothing to him. And you can hardly fault me for having aspirations on a man that neither I nor him seemed to be aware of your romantic intentions toward.

[There he frowns, moving to lean against a nearby wall.]

Have you told him?

[Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear. He wants to reach out, to touch the man. But he doesn't. It's wrong.]

There's where the confusion is, Jon. He doesn't have me. Nor I him. That isn't... what we are. It's not what he wants from me, though he could have it if he asked.

But I'll back off. I didn't know I was, well, getting in your way. I'm sorry.

The first time we met, he quizzed me on my ability to seduce a stranger. In the end he...

[Ended up captivating Reeve. Perhaps they can be a club. People enamored with Tony Stark with no hope of holding his heart. But it seemed like... Jon needed him more. At last he moves forward, nervous that there might be violence if he approaches. But he has to try.]

It's alright to care for him. Sounds like he means a lot to you. I didn't know. If I had, I wouldn't have behaved like I had at the hospital. I'm sorry.

[Nope, Reeve's taking another step forward. Please, let him do this.]

You're not an idiot. Caring about someone isn't idiotic. But not telling him isn't the best way to approach it if you want him to return the affection. You need to go back there, Jon. To take care of him at least. And to talk to him.

[Oh, he's TOTALLY an idiot. They both are. Because Reeve gets that heartache and he's trying to help Jon's interests. Which means working against his own.]

Once in a while, I manage that. Not often, not in things that don't involve a very serious quanta of math, but every now and then.

[Finally he reaches out, a hand touching Jon's forearm, but on the side that isn't injured.]

He means a lot to you. I'm glad. He deserves to have someone looking out for him.

[He is a nice guy with too much guilt and pain and suffering in his conscious to think there is anything good out there for him. Nothing more complicated than that.]

Experience. I’m not the person anyone chooses when there are alternatives. Not in this field. Too serious, too married to the work, too negligent of myself.

[Even when he forgets to wash his clothes, he always remembers to tend his beard. Thank you for noticing. But Reeve doesn’t know to say that. So instead the hand that alighted on Jon’s forearm patted the limb lightly, and he smiled at Jon. Soft and warm and kind. How could he do anything else.]

Say you will talk to him. That you’ll at least do that so you don’t have to wonder. And that you will take care of your hand properly. If I had any healing materia I would fix it right up, but I doubt a replicator could give me that back.

And get some sleep, even if it is only in a chair at our friend’s bedside, because I promise he will try to escape otherwise.

What about me?

[The question is confused. Like Reeve can’t even begin to understand the question.]

[personal profile] plate_builder 2020-06-04 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Still be his friend. Talk to him. Work with him.

[Why would that change? That would be silly.]

Leave it to him to make any decisions he might choose to make. But I’m a grown man. I am more than equipped to handle a bit of heartache. I have experience with it.
